459: Chapters 490-492, Because I Like You!
In the study.
Different from her worried expression in the bedroom about her husband, Yu Mingjing now had a stern face as she sat behind her desk, looking at the woman in front of her.
Stretching out her hand, she said, “Miss Shen, please have so tea.”
“I am Fang Yi’s assistant,” Shen Binnan explained.
“There is no need for Miss Shen to deceive anyone.
You are the president of Longtu Group, and your photos have appeared in so news reports.
I have seen them, and you also bear the title of ‘Moon City’s Top Beauty.’ If I couldn’t recognize you, it would an there’s sothing wrong with my eyes,” Yu Mingjing said indifferently.
Caught in her deceit, Shen Binnan’s expression did not change as she responded, “Alright, since Mrs.
Li has revealed my identity, I won’t pretend anymore.
However, please be assured, Mrs.
Li, I did not co with hostile intentions.”
Yu Mingjing said, “If you had hostile intentions, I would have turned you away the mont you entered the bedroom.”
Shen Binnan was silent for a mont before speaking, “The truth is, I disguised myself to co here because I wanted to discuss so matters with Legislator Li.
I know, under normal circumstances, it is very difficult to et with Legislator Li.
Just yesterday, I learned that Fang Yi was coming to see Legislator Li, so I followed him here.
If soone is to be blad, bla .”
Yu Mingjing replied, “I’ve heard that Miss Shen is always like an ice queen; I didn’t expect you to be concerned about soone else.”
“Having been around long enough, perhaps I’ve developed a bit of affection,” said Shen Binnan.
Yu Mingjing smiled and asked, “If I may be so bold, what is your relationship with young Fang?”
“He is my bodyguard,” Shen Binnan answered and then felt it was slightly inappropriate, almost as if to emphasize, added, “My personal bodyguard.”
This, however, surprised Yu Mingjing.
A person so skilled in dical arts was only a bodyguard?
Yet Yu Mingjing didn’t show her surprise as she continued, “Alright then.
Miss Shen, what is it that you want to discuss with my husband this ti?”
“It’s about the park along the eastern side of Moon City.”
“Coastal Park?”
“Yes,” Shen Binnan said.
“I have heard that the governnt is considering selling that land.
I am interested in buying it.”
Yu Mingjing pondered for a mont before saying, “I too have heard about this, but only Moon City’s governnt can decide on that.
My husband, Old Li, doesn’t have sway over that matter.
Coming to him may be pointless.”
“I do not expect this matter to be resolved imdiately.
I just hope Mrs.
Li can ntion it to Legislator Li, and if he thinks of sothing, to just let know.”
Yu Mingjing replied, “Okay.”
After the two of them left the living room, they saw Fang Yi surrounded by a group of elderly people.
So of the old n had solemn faces, so looked puzzled, and others paced back and forth as if they were anxious about sothing.
Upon seeing Shen Binnan co out, Fang Yi got up and, making a fist with his hand as a sign of respect, said, “Elders, I have another matter to attend to, let’s talk another ti.”
Seeing that they couldn’t keep Fang Yi there, the elderly n all responded amicably.
Fang Yi walked over to Shen Binnan without asking further questions and said, “Are you hungry?”
Shen Binnan was visibly taken aback before she nodded.
Fang Yi laughed heartily and said, “Co on, I’ll treat you to a grand al.”
There was an unsettled feeling in Shen Binnan’s heart, and she nodded sowhat absentmindedly.
When Yu Mingjing returned to the bedroom, she gestured for Hu Guanqing to leave, then sat down beside Li Chun, showing concern, “Old Li, how are you feeling now?”
“Much better,” Li Chun smiled and said, “I have to say, young Fang’s dical skills are quite impressive.”
“As long as you’re all right,” Yu Mingjing hesitated for a mont before deciding to tell him about her conversation with Shen Binnan.
Li Chun was slightly astonished, then he reflected, “To tell you the truth, that Coastal Park has actually been reserved by soone through already.”
“Who?”
“Rong Shuo.”
Yu Mingjing’s eyebrows raised slightly as she said, “Rong Shuo is your close friend, so it’s not unreasonable to give him the Coastal Park.
Moreover, ever since Rong Shuo beca wealthy and one of the three great tycoons of Moon City, he hasn’t been stingy with his tributes to us…”
Li Chun said, “That may be true, but you don’t know, Rong Shuo has been getting more and more out of line.
I’ve taken his favors, but he’s also benefited from .
Lately, in addition to having designs on the Coastal Park, he also wanted to cut the ribbon for a venture capital firm called Childe.
In fact, this venture capital firm is raising funds, and I’m not ignorant of that fact.
If I went, it would be extrely unfavorable for .
I’ve already declined, but I imagine Rong Shuo must harbor so dissatisfaction towards now.”
Yu Mingjing frowned as well and said, “What should we do?
Shen Binnan ca to talk to about this matter, and there were implications of bringing up little Fang Yi.”
Li Chun’s face showed difficulty.
On one hand was a close friend drifting apart, and on the other was a young stranger who had saved his life, leaving Li Chun feeling caught in a dilemma.
“I think…” Yu Mingjing pondered and then suggested, “Why not just give the two of them a chance and let them fight it out?
Fair competition.
We don’t side with either.
Old Li, what do you think?”
Li Chun sighed and said, “That’s all we can do.”
…
Music filled the interior of the moving car.
On the banks of the Seine, a coffee on the left bank~~~ in my hand, tasting your beauty, leaving the imprint of lips~~~~
The music played, but the two people were distinctly not speaking.
Fang Yi humd along with the music until suddenly, Shen Binnan reached out and turned off the car stereo.
“What are you doing!” Fang Yi asked.
“I have sothing to say!” Shen Binnan said commandingly.
“You can talk, but can you not look like you’re about to bite soone’s head off?” Fang Yi said.
Shen Binnan took a deep breath and said, “I’ve lied to you.”
Fang Yi quizzically responded, “You lied about your ‘virtue’?”
This ti, Shen Binnan didn’t roll her eyes as she usually did but instead spoke very calmly, “Actually, coming with you to see Congressman Li was for ulterior motives.”
“I know.”
“You know?”
“Of course, I’m not dumb.
You coming with out of the blue, if you said there were no ulterior motives, I wouldn’t believe it,” Fang Yi said quite calmly.
Shen Binnan suddenly felt a surge of anger, leaned forward, and stared at him directly, “If you knew, why didn’t you say anything?”
Fang Yi smiled and said, “Between us, there’s nothing to say about that.
If you use , I’m happy and willing.
If the day cos when you don’t use , it would an I no longer hold a place in your heart, and then I would be very sad.”
Shen Binnan’s expression changed drastically, her clear, beautiful eyes filled with an unconcealable shock, “You…
why would you think that way?”
Fang Yi casually replied, “Why think that way?
It’s simple, dummy, because I like you.”
Dummy, because I like you!
These words flowed from Fang Yi’s mouth so naturally and casually, yet they managed to stir a chord deep within Shen Binnan’s heart.
The depths of her heart that she had long frozen softened all at once, suddenly feeling alive.
Looking at the man before her, who was smiling nonchalantly, Shen Binnan didn’t know what to say.
But why did she feel a lump in her throat, an urge to burst into tears?
However, driven by reason and in order not to embarrass herself in front of the man driving the car beside her, Shen Binnan fought back the tears; she did not cry.
They said they were going out for a feast, but halfway there, Shen Binnan still declined, and Fang Yi didn’t insist.
He drove Shen Binnan back.
Upon arrival, Fang Yi saw a young girl at the villa’s gate, with her hands behind her back and her pretty face upturned to the sky, pacing back and forth in boredom.
