Qin Du stood up and shook hands with the man, his deanor gentle but distant, "President Li."
The woman standing behind President Li had the standard web celebrity face, big double-lidded eyes, but unfortunately, the traces of costic surgery were too apparent, her chin sharp enough to almost poke her chest, with heavy makeup applied. At first glance, she looked stunning, but she was more like an overdone, eye-straining inflatable doll.
The woman glanced at Qin Du, secretly admiring the charisma of the man. From top to bottom, every detail bespoke a background of noble heritage and a position of great authority. Hearing President Li address him as President Qin, she suddenly rembered who he was—the president of Zhuanyi International China Region, Qin Du. Young and handso as he was, the rumors of him being the crown prince of Zhuanyi International were bound to make nurous won envious. It was unfortunate they couldn’t et him, yet today, as if a blind cat had stumbled upon a dead rat.
The woman subtly puffed out her chest, lifting her chin slightly in hopes of catching his attention, but unfortunately, his gaze never rested on her from beginning to end, leaving her feeling a bit defeated. She turned to look at the quiet girl sitting across, narrowing her eyes slightly.
Qin Du was having dinner with her.
One had to admit, she was very beautiful, but more importantly, her temperant was what caused a profound sense of inferiority in her. When the young girl looked up and seed to notice her gaze, their eyes t, and upon seeing her face clearly, she exclaid, "Ji Yunya?"
This person was too famous. As a standard web celebrity, she couldn’t possibly not recognize Ji Yunya, though whether the latter recognized her was another matter.
Qin Du frowned slightly and instinctively stood in front of Yun Ya, blocking President Li’s inquisitive gaze and shot the woman a warning look with eyes cold and piercing, making her shrink back and wisefully keep her mouth shut.
"President Li, if there’s anything, we can schedule another ti. Please don’t delay our al," Qin Du said coldly.
He clearly signaled them to leave.
President Li glanced at the figure behind Qin Du, but Qin Du’s tall stature blocked everything so tightly that nothing could be discerned. It seed to be a woman, no wonder he had refused the company of any close-approaching won last ti; his heart was already taken.
He chuckled, "Look at , lacking tact and disturbing President Qin during his al. This dinner is on as an apology. Please don’t take offense, President Qin. This restaurant is most suitable for couples. A friend of mine owns this place. In the future, just ntion my na, and you’ll dine on the house."
"No need," Qin Du declined directly.
Seeing Qin Du’s expression growing more impatient, President Li dared not linger any longer, pulling the woman beside him and turning to leave, summoning a waiter to pay Qin Du’s bill.
Watching the two disappear at the entrance of the restaurant, he turned back to sit down, looking at Yun Ya with a gentle voice, "I’m sorry about earlier."
Yun Ya shook her head with a smile, "It’s nothing. Has my fa really reached this extent? Random people recognize ," she said, shaking her head with a laugh.
Qin Du glanced at her with a smile, "Do you not know you’re the goddess of countless n nationwide?"
As the two left the restaurant, President Li shot her a glance, "It’s all your fault, displeasing President Qin earlier. Otherwise, I could have forged a good relationship with him while the iron was hot. See, you’ve spoiled it all now."
Qin Du’s identity was no secret in the circle anymore: the crown prince of Zhuanyi International, coveted by many. Unfortunately, he was too aloof and mysterious, rarely attending ordinary dinners, leaving no chance for people to ingratiate themselves. This ti they had finally seized an opportunity, only for this woman to ruin it.
"You don’t need to attend the event the day after tomorrow; soone better has already replaced you," he said, without giving the woman a chance to defend herself, and got into the car.
"President Li, President Li, listen to ," she chased after him, almost twisting her ankle in her high heels and helplessly watched the car disappear. In a fit of anger, she stomped her foot, "Ouch," her heel stuck in a crack in the pavent, and no matter how hard she pulled, it wouldn’t budge. She took off her shoe and angrily kicked it away.
It was hard enough to climb up to President Li, trading companionship and intimacy for an opportunity to be seen, only to have it dissipate into nothing.
President Li might not follow Ji Yunya and possibly didn’t know who she was, but how could she not know? To think that because of Ji Yunya, she had been discarded by President Li, she felt a mix of jealousy and unwillingness within.
Why should she have a boyfriend as outstanding as Qin Du, so considerate and protective, while she herself had to strive desperately just for a spot at an event, only to have it destroyed by a single sentence from him?
It was too unfair.
