145: Chapter 145 Slap 145: Chapter 145 Slap “Our PR departnt is like a nunnery, as you know well,” Ye Shikai chuckled.
“You are under Qingyu’s control up there, I bet you wouldn’t dare,” Luo Shiqi poured a cup of tea for Ye Shikai and Ailina and said lightly, “You are at work now, and you ca here with a colleague, it must be business related to your company.”
“You’ve got , I’m here for business, take a look.” Ye Shikai handed a docunt to Luo Shiqi, who skimd through a few pages to get a rough idea.
“Su Qingyu is really opening her mouth wide, raising the price by twenty million outright.” Displeasure flashed in Luo Shiqi’s eyes.
“Your wife is really sothing, treating like a fool,” she tossed the docunt onto the table.
“Does he think that, based on my relationship with you, he can play the emotional card with ?” Luo Shiqi got a bit agitated.
In her view, whether or not Su Qingyu succeeds in signing the contract, she wins either way.
If signed, Su Qingyu gains twenty million for nothing.
If not, Ye Shikai would definitely hold a grudge against Luo Shiqi, which is what Su Qingyu would like to see too.
Luo Shiqi thought Su Qingyu’s tactic was indeed a bit despicable.
“I knew you would say that, but you’ve misunderstood her.” Ye Shikai wasn’t surprised by Luo Shiqi’s reaction.
Although Su Qingyu is his wife and they have shared life-and-death experiences, Luo Shiqi is alike; comparing the two won’s places in Ye Shikai’s heart is indeed challenging.
“Really?
How did I misunderstand her?” Luo Shiqi said indifferently, signing the contract nonchalantly.
Although annoyed, Ye Shikai knew Luo Shiqi wouldn’t refuse.
“Explain to why she sent you to discuss this contract.
Isn’t she after the twenty million gain?”
“Twenty million, is that a lot?” At this mont, a faint voice erged, belonging to Ailina standing beside Ye Shikai.
Although not loud, both Luo Shiqi and Ye Shikai could clearly hear it, especially Luo Shiqi who was montarily stunned.
As the leader of Netherworld Palace, Ailina surely wouldn’t lack money—twenty million was re pocket change to her.
“Young lady, what did you say?” Luo Shiqi laced her fingers with interest towards Ailina.
“Shiqi, don’t listen to her, she… has a bit of a temper.
You spoke ill of Su Qingyu just now, and she got a little angry,” Ye Shikai hurriedly spoke, shooting Ailina a look.
“Ailina, why don’t you go downstairs and wait for ,” Ye Shikai said gravely, and Ailina reluctantly left, knowing Ye Shikai was serious.
Luo Shiqi wanted to stop her, but Ye Shikai prevented it.
“Your foreign girl seems quite rich,” Luo Shiqi couldn’t help but tease after Ailina left.
“First off, I’ve explained to you already, and second, who said I’m chasing her?”
“True, Su Qingyu has you under tight control.
I wouldn’t even dare chase after you, let alone a re employee,” Luo Shiqi’s expression turned cold, and Ye Shikai, understanding her implication, sighed.
“Shiqi, Qingyu and I are husband and wife, so I really can’t have any relationship with you.
I appreciate your kindness toward , but…I think you should…stop clinging to .”
A crisp slap echoed, reddening Ye Shikai’s right cheek as Luo Shiqi stood before him, her face full of sorrow and resentnt, tears streaming down as she stared into his eyes.
“You bastard.” Luo Shiqi slapped Ye Shikai again, cursing as he did not resist.
Then Luo Shiqi embraced Ye Shikai, leaning into his chest and weeping uncontrollably.
“Why did you co into my life, saving ti after ti?
Why was I smitten with you at first sight?
Why can’t I forget you, Ye Shikai, you bastard?” Luo Shiqi cried out, venting her accumulated frustrations.
Deep love, deep resentnt.
Luo Shiqi cried in Ye Shikai’s arms for a long while, soaking his shirt, before slowly calming down.
“Do you rember the first ti we t at the bar, when you were drowning your sorrows?” Luo Shiqi spoke slowly.
“Of course, your ‘Forget Sorrow’ drink, I haven’t forgotten it,” Ye Shikai replied.
“Later, you suddenly rushed over, warning of danger and assassination.
Do you rember that?” Luo Shiqi asked.
“Yes, it’s still fresh in my mory.” Ye Shikai indeed rembered that vividly, having experienced it first in a dream and then in real life.
“By then, I had already fallen for you, but then I found out you had a wife, and it was Su Qingyu,” Luo Shiqi said lightly, “I investigated and learned that your marriage was the result of a parental arrangent.”
“I was convinced that there was no way between you two; even if your wife wasn’t Su Qingyu but her sister Su Ziqing, I wouldn’t be so sure, but with that ice queen Su Qingyu, I believed you’d divorce within a month,” Luo Shiqi’s face showed resolve.
“A month later and you would be divorced,” this was also once said by Su Qingyu.
“I thought, if only I confessed to you, you would without a doubt leave her for , and Su Qingyu would certainly be happy about it,” Luo Shiqi continued, causing Ye Shikai so sha as he admittedly had such thoughts back then, though Su Qingyu was completely unresponsive at that ti.
“But unexpectedly, my appearance instead brought you and her closer.
Perhaps it was the sense of crisis,” Luo Shiqi’s expression darkened, evidently touching a painful spot.
“I don’t understand, compared to her indifferent attitude, I was proactive in confessing my feelings for you.
But why…
would you rather stick with a paper marriage, clinging to an ice beauty, rather than leave her.”
“Shiqi, you and Qingyu are both very important people to .
Staying is due to responsibility; the marriage still exists, and that makes her husband,” Ye Shikai said softly.
