Wen Qianyi was taken aback. Yes, why hadn’t she considered this problem before? If Li Yan were just a small-ti employee with no ambition, the gap between them would inevitably an that even if they were together, true love could be defeated by reality one day. But he’s an assassin; he has his own career, his own financial foundation, and most importantly, his own confidence. They could fully be together without facing the issue of a strong woman and a weak man!
Thinking carefully... she began to suspect Li Yan’s identity when they were in Japan. And on the day they returned, at the airport, in front of his classmates, he formally acknowledged that Yue Xiao Di, who was waiting for them, was his girlfriend. Perhaps because she personally witnessed it, she felt it was settled and didn’t think much about it.
To dream like a teenager, to bravely seize what’s hers, to love once with all her might... Can I really do these things?
Wen Qianyi, lost in thought for a mont, looked at Li Yan and laughed again: "What you say seems reasonable, but unfortunately... a certain soone isn’t much good, I don’t even feel anything for Zhang Songyang despite his ardent infatuation. Do you think I’d fight soone else for a playboy?"
Hearing her relaxed tone, Li Yan smiled. In any case, she must have taken at least sothing in. "To each their own; maybe a playboy is just what suits the taste though!"
"That’s really too much... what kind of talk is that!"
...
After having breakfast with Wen Qianyi, Li Yan carefully left her place alone.
Leaving carefully, not because of fear of Zhang Songyang, but for fear of bumping into Hai Fu.
Yesterday he went to Huang Ying’s place, then bought vegetables, cooked, and later went to Jie Rui to find Li Jie, only returning ho in the afternoon. But today was different; he was heading straight ho. Considering having spent the night in Qianyi’s fragrant boudoir, he was wary that he might carry a fragrance with him. After all, there were three people waiting for him at ho, and it wouldn’t be good if they slled sothing. So, he opted to squeeze on the bus instead of taking a taxi, even though it was troubleso!
The effect of taking the bus on a Sunday was very obvious. Even if you wore perfu, it would end up slling different, let alone a faint lingering scent of a woman. Of course, taking different bus routes took a lot more ti. By the ti he reached ho, it was almost eleven o’clock.
After entering the door, there was no sign of Zhang Yurong, Yue Yao, or Yue Xiao Di. Li Yan guessed they were upstairs, maybe trying on clothes in the bedroom, so he excitedly ran up.
Upon reaching the second floor, he habitually first ran to Zhang Yurong’s office. As expected, she was indeed present, though Yue Yao and Yue Xiao Di were absent.
"You’re back really early today," Zhang Yurong observed flatly.
"I drank too much, had no car, and my phone ran out of battery..." Li Yan mumbled, finding his own excuse hard to believe. "Where’s Xiao Di? Didn’t you say she sent you back? Didn’t stay here?"
Zhang Yurong looked at him without speaking.
Li Yan knew he was at fault, but he was worried about Wen Qianyi last night, whereas they were safe at ho. "I wasn’t only thinking about her. You see, I ca straight to you as soon as I got back."
"Who you’re thinking about, only you know yourself. Xiao Di did bring back, and she did stay here overnight. But soone seed unwelco to her, knowing she ca, didn’t return last night, nor ca back early in the morning, and didn’t even make a call. She thought since you were avoiding her, there was no point staying here, so she left early," Zhang Yurong said coolly, subtly implicating her grievance about him not calling nor returning ho consecutively.
Li Yan reached for his phone, intending to call Yue Xiao Di imdiately, but as he had just claid there was no battery, he had to wait a bit to call.
"It won’t happen again." After saying this, recalling last night’s thoughts, Li Yan asked, "By the way, how did your talk go last night?"
Zhang Yurong, seeing that he finally rembered to care about serious matters, replied, "Not too bad, they should handle it by downplaying the issue."
"Weren’t you at the Prince Hotel? Do you rember the anthrax incident at the Prince Hotel back then? Yesterday, while waiting for your call outside, I thought about that and connected it to the current issue; might it be related to the Changhe Group? To threaten us, they could buy off our internal personnel."
Zhang Yurong was slightly annoyed today. He went out drinking the night before yesterday, didn’t co ho, and didn’t call, which was tolerable. After all, compared to before, it’s quite rare now, and he’s been diligently working recently. Yet yesterday, with no ntion prior, he again didn’t co back and left his phone off!
Even Yue Xiao Di was upset and left. If she wasn’t at least a little upset herself, she would feel she cared less than Yue Xiao Di. So, seeing him back, she kept a lukewarm attitude, refraining from initiating conversation, hoping he’d reflect a bit.
But now, when he raised this issue concerning the company, it made her forget her plan montarily. "Probably not, last ti the incident was severe enough."
"Nonsense! How did it turn out?"
Zhang Yurong shook her head: "Not too clear. You want to find that person?"
"Exactly! I want to find that foreigner to understand a bit. The hotel employee was bought off by the foreigner, and that foreigner might have been bought by Changhe Group. If proven true, it would be a major blow against them!"
Li Yan’s words stirred Zhang Yurong slightly. The Prince Hotel back then narrowly escaped a crisis; had they not caught those two in advance, the consequences would have been unimaginable. Now
"Wouldn’t this be dangerous..."
"You, pure business elite, there’s inconvenience; let handle this!" Li Yan smiled.
Zhang Yurong, however, furrowed her brows, pondering for a while, she still shook her head: "I’ll allocate you a special fund for this, hire soone else for it, a private detective or lawyer, even enlist that lawyer friend of yours who’s into revelries. Don’t involve yourself directly, if it turns out well and you find sothing, great, but if not, don’t let it beco a complication for you!"
Li Yan knew she was worried about him, so he didn’t elaborate, nodding: "Alright, I’ll let you know after I contact them about roughly how much it’ll cost."
