Qi Longbing remained silent, looking at the woman before him with a srizing curve at the corner of his lips, his contemplations deep and unfathomable to others.
"If your girlfriend isn’t Miss Pan, then she must be an even more outstanding mature lady! It’s just that there has been so misunderstanding between you two, and President Qi, being soone who cares so much about his image, ca up with this idea. He found to do this play to deliberately make your girlfriend jealous, to make her care about you, to have her co to you to apologize... and then, during a romantic mont, you two clear up the misunderstanding, and I... can I then retire with honors?"
Hua Xiaomo spoke quickly, her exquisite and lovely face still wearing a smile. Yet, who could know that smiling at this person was a false smile, and also a form of pain.
Qi Longbing looked at her, his eyes growing heavy after a long silence. "Hua Xiaomo, are you going to sign or not?"
"..." Hua Xiaomo was speechless for a mont. Were all the things she had just said nonsense? Was he really serious about this? UH... did it have to be this tragic!
"I’ll sign... however..." Hua Xiaomo said in an appeasing tone. Thinking of sothing, her voice slowed. "I think the content here isn’t complete enough. Does it need an additional clause?"
"HEH..." Qi Longbing chuckled, his stunningly handso face revealing a dark gleam, sowhat devilish. "Just a month’s ti and you’re already trying so hard, afraid that I’ll make you accompany , aren’t you?"
"ER..." Hua Xiaomo’s face showed embarrassnt, her scalp tingling imnsely. She wished she could find a hole to crawl into on the spot.
Qi Longbing stared at her face, then suddenly changed his mind, speaking in a bland and indifferent tone, "Actually... even with my poor taste, I wouldn’t fancy you. Don’t get your hopes up, Hua Xiaomo!"
"As you guessed, I sought you out for a contract to make you find a way to rid Old Master Qi of the idea of forcing into marriage. I hope you fulfill your role well and don’t disappoint ." Qi Longbing’s face held a faint chill. His interest seed to fade at that mont, leaving behind a hint of irritation.
"Sure, rest assured, I will definitely persuade Old Master Qi to completely give up the idea of forcing you into marriage," Hua Xiaomo said, her tone slyly confident. She then picked up a pen and looked at the contract. Raising her head, she glanced at Qi Longbing’s exceptionally handso, angelic face. But she wouldn’t believe he was an angel.
"President Qi, shall we add what we just talked about?"
"Do you think..." Qi Longbing smiled playfully, his blue eyes suddenly narrowing, "is it necessary?"
"This..." Hua Xiaomo laughed sheepishly. "What President Qi says naturally carries weight, but an agreent is an agreent, rights are rights. It’s better to write things down clearly, haha." She hadn’t forgotten how he had reneged on his word when his car had hit her.
Without delay, Hua Xiaomo quickly wrote: "Hua Xiaomo will play the role of Qi Longbing’s fake girlfriend for a month, with services ending each night at the latest by midnight, during which ti she will persuade Old Master Qi to give up the forced marriage."
"President Qi, does this look good to you?" Hua Xiaomo handed it over, a glint of cunning in her eyes. Finally, she had changed the nature of this contract. If it ant selling herself, she wouldn’t do it!
Qi Longbing glanced at it, elegantly took the pen with one hand, and swiftly added two words at the end: "until successful!"
So the last sentence beca: "...persuade Old Master Qi to give up the forced marriage, until successful!"
Hua Xiaomo frowned slightly at the two words he added. What on earth did those an?
Qi Longbing easily read the confusion on her face and spoke with a faintly raised lip, "A month, you don’t have confidence? OK, the tifra is extended indefinitely." He then casually tossed the pen to her.
"Joking... how could I lack confidence?" Hua Xiaomo forced a smile. Persuading that old man from the Qi Family, what’s so difficult about it? This was much less effort than being the River and Ocean Great Thief; it’s just a matter of talking.
"Good to hear you’re confident. Sign it." Qi Longbing’s lips curved slightly with an air of composure. His gaze swept past, looking elsewhere, but a cunning glint lingered in the depths of his eyes.
Thinking of playing mind gas with him, how interesting...
Hua Xiaomo picked up the pen and paused for a mont. Steeling her heart, she finally briskly signed her full na at the bottom.
At that mont, a detached and cold smile also appeared on Qi Longbing’s stunning and carefree handso face.
In this world... any "thing" he wanted to play with, he played with, tossed away, or threw out whenever he wanted. When did it beco this "thing’s" turn to bargain with him? Going along with her wishes now was just adding so "spices" to this playful process.
"Very well. I’ll have Yu Bao co to pick you up tomorrow night." Qi Longbing looked at the signed contract, a bizarre smile in his heart.
"Tomorrow night? No way! My mother just had surgery; I must take care of her," Hua Xiaomo imdiately refused. No way! How could this be?
"Your mother. I’ll have Yu Bao arrange for two nurses to take care of her." After speaking, Qi Longbing stood up. He slid one hand into his pants pocket and picked up the folder with the other. Seeing that she wanted to say more, he scoffed coldly, "Hua Xiaomo, don’t test my patience further. The contract is now effective. Tomorrow night, you must co!"
"..." Hua Xiaomo gritted her teeth. This bastard was really just a domineering tyrant. "Will Old Master Qi be there?"
Qi Longbing gave her a dismissive glance and sneered, "What do you think?"
Without saying anything more, he walked toward the door. As he opened it, his gaze swept over her, a sharp, cold glint crossing his eyes. "I’ll be waiting for you. If you don’t co, you’ll bear the consequences!" Then, he left with a dashing stride.
Left in the office, Hua Xiaomo was so angry that she clenched her fists and threw a venomous look at the door. "Qi Longbing, you’re just a despicable dog! What’s there for you to be so arrogant and pleased about? HUMPH!"
Offend , and I’ll make sure you don’t last long as President Qi! Anyway, the Qi Family isn’t just made up of people with the surna Qi... Hua Xiaomo tilted her head, thinking up sneaky plans. Indeed, her father Hua Renda had ntioned that Qi Longbing had a half-brother, Qi Lingfeng, who was studying in the United Kingdom. Imagine, if she were to speak ill of Qi Longbing in front of Old Master Qi and get him to hand the helm of the Qi Imperial Court over to the second brother Qi Lingfeng, wouldn’t that be killing two birds with one stone? HUMPH, HUMPH, let’s see who has the last laugh! Hua Xiaomo’s delicate face was filled with slyness. Thinking of her mother, she quickly composed herself and hurriedly left the office.
