Wei Ting narrowed his eyes. His hands, which were hanging by his side, were half-stuffed into his trouser pockets. He wasn’t in a hurry to go forward. Instead, he wanted to see how Li Qianxue would react.

Li Qianxue was already quite unhappy about meeting Su Chenghui again and again over the past two days. She didn’t even try to hide her dislike for his actions.

“What details can’t you tell me tomorrow? Why do you have to stop me on the road?”

“I just remembered, so I came over to tell you. I’m afraid that I’ll forget tomorrow.”

“In my impression, you’re not someone with such a bad memory.” Li Qianxue was unmoved. “If you really think that you’ll forget, then you can use your phone to write it down now. You are still some time away from old age. I believe that you shouldn’t have amnesia at such a young age, right?”

“Of course not. I just want to settle down as soon as possible. I thought you thought so too.”

“You are wrong.” Li Qianxue wouldn’t go along with his words. “It has already dragged on for so long. It doesn’t matter if it takes a little longer.”

“Qianxue…” Su Chenghui wanted to say that she wasn’t like this in the past. She used to be very focused on work. If there was something that hadn’t been resolved, she wished that she could resolve it that very night.

“Now is private time, and it’s meal time. Mr. Su, President Su, I think that no matter how important work is, I still have the right to eat, right?”

“I don’t mean that.” Su Chenghui became thick-skinned once again. “What I mean is, maybe we can talk while eating?”

“No, you might want to talk while eating, but I’m afraid I won’t have the appetite.”

Li Qianxue looked at him, who didn’t intend to give in, then she took a step back. “Su Chenghui, if there’s any business matters, we can talk about it tomorrow. By the way, before you go to the Li Corporation, please make an appointment with my secretary. After all, not everyone is as free as you.”

She gave Su Chenghui a slight diss and was satisfied to see his changed expression. She turned to look at Wei Ting. “Let’s go.”

Wei Ting nodded and followed Li Qianxue into Linyuan Pavilion. He didn’t forget to remind her softly when they went up the stairs. “Be careful of the stairs.”

“Thank you.” Li Qianxue nodded. Wei Ting wanted to hold her hand. After hesitating for a second, she didn’t shake him off. Instead, she let him hold her hand.

Su Chenghui narrowed his eyes and slightly clenched his fists that were hanging by his side. After the two of them disappeared behind the door, his shoulders drooped weakly.

..

Wei Ting sat opposite Li Qianxue and looked at her expressionless face. When they entered the restaurant just now, she shook his hand away.

She had really used him thoroughly. However, he couldn’t flare up. He had to feel happy.

After all, he still had value to Li Qianxue.

“Unhappy?”

“No.”In all seriousness, he was a little unhappy, but only a little.

“Qianxue’s performance just now was really good. I found that I like you more and more. What should I do?”

“Wei Ting, if you continue to be so glib, I will only hate you more and more.”

“Don’t be like this.” Wei Ting was about to lose to her. “Actually, if you really don’t want to see him, I have a good idea.”

“Hm?”

“Stay with me.” Wei Ting looked serious. “Since you’re already taken, he’ll naturally retreat.”

“Wei Ting, this joke isn’t funny, but I can let it slide.”

“Qianxue, you really know how to hurt my feelings.”

Looking as if he was really hurt, Wei Ting held his heart.

Li Qianxue watched him act, but her mood was really better.

She knew the burden on her from the moment she was born. Old Master Master Li treated her as the only successor and groomed her. Although she had been pampered and spoiled ever since she was young, she was also strictly raised as the heiress.

After she grew up, she met her nemesis and was unhappy for more than 20 years.

As for her two children, Su Yuxin was a boy, so he naturally didn’t throw tantrums in front of her. Su Peizhen was a girl. In the past, she was close to her, but because of her personality, she rarely threw tantrums either.

This was the first time she had met someone like Wei Ting.

“You broke my heart. I want to eat something delicious today and make up for it through my stomach.”

As Wei Ting spoke, he opened the electronic menu on the table. His finger swiped the menu on the screen while he looked at Li Qianxue. “I’m so sad.”

“What does your sadness have to do with eating?”

“Haven’t you heard? When your taste buds are satisfied, your body is also satisfied. When you get satisfaction in one aspect, your sadness can be more or less compensated.”

Li Qianxue finally revealed a smile. “Have you always been so good at talking nonsense?”

“How is this nonsense? It has scientific evidence. If you don’t believe me, you’ll know after you finish eating later.”

As Wei Ting spoke, he suddenly exclaimed and threw the electronic menu aside. He looked at Li Qianxue and said, “Actually, the dishes made in such a big hotel look famous, but the taste really isn’t that good. Next time, I’ll take you to eat something delicious.”

“It’s okay. I’m not particular about eating.”

Li Qianxue actually didn’t eat many things. Old Master Li valued health. She followed his taste and was very light. She wasn’t particular about eating, but she was really picky.

“Tomorrow, I’ll take you to eat delicious food tomorrow.”

“Wei Ting.” Li Qianxue looked at the smug look on his face and said in an indifferent voice, “Don’t think that I don’t know that you want to ask me out. I really don’t have time tomorrow.”

Wei Ting’s face instantly fell. “Ah, Qianxue, since you’re so cruel, now, even delicious food can’t make up for it.”

This time, Li Qianxue finally couldn’t help but laugh. This Wei Ting was actually quite interesting.

… ..

The next day, Su Chenghui did as Li Qianxue asked yesterday, and called Yang Rong to make an appointment.

However, Li Qianxue purposely let Yang Rong say that she didn’t have time to see him. The third day and fourth day were weekends, so there was no time. Every time Su Chenghui called to see her, Li Qianxue refused.

Li Qianxue knew that her action was inappropriate. After all, for the sake of the company, the earlier the construction of the land in North District started, the better.

However, she really didn’t want to see Su Chenghui. She didn’t want to see his overly smug face. She was indeed very busy. After all, the Li Corporation was so big, and there was more than one project in progress.

She didn’t want to see Su Chenghui, but Su Chenghui came looking for her.

When Li Qianxue went downstairs, she had just ended the video call with Su Qingsang. The two little guys looked different every day, and they looked really cute.

She really wanted to fly to Rong City to hug her two grandsons and get close to them.

Because she saw her two little grandsons, Li Qianxue was in a good mood when she went downstairs. There was a faint smile on her face, but that smile froze when she saw Su Chenghui sitting on the sofa.

He looked left and right. There was no one else in the living room except for him.

“Qianxue.” Su Chenghui stood up when he saw her coming downstairs. Of course, he didn’t miss the change in her expression when she saw him.

“Who allowed you to come in?” Li Qianxue’s tone wasn’t very polite.

“I want to go to the Li Corporation to look for you. You haven’t been free, so I could only come to your house to look for you.”

His voice was calm, and without a hint of criticism. Li Qianxue didn’t think that she had gone overboard. “Is that so? Recently, the company has been busy, so I’m indeed not free.”

“Yes, I know you’re not free, so I came to your house.”

Su Chenghui said the word “home” quite naturally. Li Qianxue originally wanted to refute him, but when she thought of the difficult situation she had been in these past few days and the more important matter, she held back.

“Tell me, what is it?”

“You just got up, you haven’t eaten yet, right? Why don’t you go eat first?”

There was a faint concern in Su Chenghui’s eyes, but Li Qianxue did not appreciate it. “I haven’t eaten breakfast yet. Since you know that this time is my breakfast time, why are you here so early?”

“I’m sorry.”Su Chenghui admitted his mistake honestly. “I just wanted to see you earlier.”

His attitude made Li Qianxue feel that her counterattack was as powerless as hitting a piece of cotton.

She looked at Su Chenghui, whose appearance had not changed, but his personality had changed drastically. She felt a little annoyed. She got up and went to the dining room to eat breakfast.

Li Qianxue didn’t expect Su Chenghui to follow her into the dining room, and he even sat in the seat that he used to sit in.

In the Li family’s dining room, Old Master Li sat in the center, she was on the left, and Su Chenghui was on the right. Su Yuxin and Su Peizhen were on the lower two sides.

Even if Su Chenghui divorced her, no one would sit in his seat after he left.

Now that he was sitting there, for a moment, Li Qianxue felt like she had returned to the past.

Although Su Chenghui didn’t love her in the past, they had lived together for decades, and many habits had slowly merged.

For example, the habit of eating breakfast, the habit of sitting in a seat.

In the past, every day during breakfast, even if Su Chenghui didn’t have any more conversations with her, he would still talk about some important matters of the company’s arrangements.

When he really entered the company, he rarely went to her office to look for her. The time during breakfast was equivalent to a small meeting between the husband and wife.

Apart from work, there was also the matter of the two children. When the two children were in school, Su Chenghui would ask them about their homework or some things that happened at school.

In the past, when Li Qianxue didn’t know the truth, she only felt that Su Chenghui really cared about his daughter. He expressed concern over what she did at school, and whether there were boys pursuing her or not.

However, he was less concerned about Su Yuxin. She only thought that because Su Yuxin was a boy, he didn’t need to pay special attention to him.

Ever since she found out the reason, she became very clearlyyaware about Su Chenghui’s favoritism. Now that she saw him sitting across from her, Li Qianxue’s expression didn’t look too good.

“What? After leaving the Li family, you can’t even have breakfast, and you want to come to the Li family to freeload?”

Su Chenghui ignored her sarcastic words and watched as Auntie Zhang carried the edible bird’s nest out and placed it in front of Li Qianxue. Auntie Zhang was a little surprised to see Su Chenghui. It was a habit that she had developed over the past few decades, so she opened her mouth almost instinctively.

“Sir is back? Have you eaten breakfast? What do you want to eat?”

“Not yet, what do you have? I don’t care.”

“There’s millet porridge in the kitchen, and it’s still hot. Sir, wait a moment.” After Auntie Zhang finished speaking, she realized that she had made the decision on her own. She couldn’t help but look at Li Qianxue.

It was also out of habit that she only remembered now. Su Chenghui and Li Qianxue had already divorced.

Her face full of ridicule, Li Qianxue looked at Su Chenghui. “Why are you looking at me? Since he can’t even have breakfast, you can give him one. He has eaten the Li family’s food for so many years anyway, so this one meal won’t make any difference.”

Although she usually wasn’t excessively polite to others, there weren’t many times when she was so sharp.

Su Chenghui knew that she was venting all her dissatisfaction at him. He wasn’t angry. Looking at the somewhat troubled Auntie Zhang, his voice was very calm.

“Auntie Zhang, sorry to trouble you.”

Su Chenghui had always been very good to the Li family’s subordinates. He was very polite to others. It could be said that, just like the current Li Qianxue, all of his harshness was directed at Li Qianxue. His gentleness was given to others.

Li Qianxue’s face was cold as she watched Auntie Zhang bring out the porridge for Su Chenghui. She then placed the breakfast on the table.

She suppressed her emotions and focused on eating the bird’s nest in front of her.

Su Chenghui, who was sitting across from her, was feeling a little emotional at this moment. It used to be the same. The two of them just sat like this and ate breakfast quietly.

At that time, although the two of them didn’t talk much, after so many years, there was naturally a tacit understanding between husband and wife.

Many times, when the two of them mentioned the beginning of a sentence, they knew what the other was going to say after that sentence.

At that time, he thought that it wasn’t about love, but only because of the tacit understanding developed through work.

There was a plate of shrimp dumplings in front of him. Su Chenghui moved his hand and instinctively wanted to put it into her bowl, but he remembered the argument in Rong City previously.

He never knew that Li Qianxue didn’t like eating shrimp dumplings. She only ate them because he liked them.

He really didn’t understand her. When this thought flashed through his mind, his hand that was holding the shrimp dumplings became a little stiff.

Of course, Li Qianxue also noticed his action. The corner of her lips curled into a mocking smile.

She naturally thought of it too. She put down the bowl in her hand. Li Qianxue couldn’t eat anymore.

“Qianxue.”

Su Chenghui hurriedly put down the bowl because of her action. The two of them went to the living room together.

Su Chenghui picked up the proposal on the coffee table. His tone was as gentle as possible.

“This is the proposal. I went home last night and changed it again. There were two small errors in it, but I’ve already corrected them. Take a look again. Maybe I can explain it to you?”

Li Qianxue ignored his words. She directly took the proposal and started to read it.

She sat on the sofa and looked at the two places that Su Chenghui had corrected and fell into deep thought. She didn’t speak, and Su Chenghui just looked at her.

His gaze was almost greedy. He sat in the living room of the Li family and sat opposite Li Qianxue. The quiet atmosphere almost made him hallucinate. He thought that he and Li Qianxue had returned to the past.

If they could continue like this…

Li Qianxue seemed to have thought of something. She suddenly raised her head and looked at Su Chenghui. When she met Su Chenghui’s focused gaze, she was stunned.

She saw her own shadow in his eyes.

When he realized that she was looking at him, his gaze softened.

“Qianxue, you’re so beautiful.”

This was a compliment from the bottom of his heart. He was also annoyed that he was blind before. Why couldn’t he see Li Qianxue’s beautiful side?

Li Qianxue, who was praised by him, didn’t look pleased. She was really not used to Su Chenghui like this. She also couldn’t bear to see him like this. “Su Chenghui, are you here to talk about business or what?”

Li Qianxue was a little uncomfortable for a moment. She pointed at the proposal with a cold face.

“Your proposal is a little useless. I’ve done some homework these few days. I have a different opinion.”

“What?”
