Chapter 157: Chapter 157

"I know. What did she say when you returned her phone?" Qi Longbing asked, carelessly playing with a pen in his hand.

"Miss Hua said she really likes this phone model," Yu Bao thought for a moment before speaking.

"You couldn’t even come up with a better lie..." Qi Longbing laughed. "That was your line, wasn’t it?"

"Uh..." Yu Bao’s face showed some embarrassment.

Qi Longbing looked up, a devilishly cold smile playing on his handsome lips. "Hua Xiaomo, this little devil, really needs some discipline..."

Yu Bao looked at him, somewhat reluctantly speaking, "President Qi, are we just going to let the matter with that card go?"

"Let it go? What else can we do? This matter could lead back to Xiao Mo. It’s not yet time for Mo Rutian and me to completely fall out," Qi Longbing said with a cold laugh, his eyes narrowing, a hint of scheming deep within them.

That pretty boy... I won’t let him get away with this!

"October is almost here. Go contact Director Zhang at the Gasia exhibition and verify the authenticity of the item I want," Qi Longbing said indifferently.

"President Qi, are you suggesting that the ’Blue Moon’ being exhibited at Gasia might be a fake?" Yu Bao regarded him with a hint of skepticism.

A sharp gleam flashed in Qi Longbing’s eyes. "The more valuable the item, the more fakes there will be."

"Understood. I’ll go and confirm it right away," Yu Bao said before quickly exiting.

Qi Longbing’s gaze shifted slightly to the desk beside him, a refined smile touching his lips as he thoughtfully imagined something.

Soon, a vision arose before his eyes and in his mind...

She, in a pristine white shirt, was sitting on the chair, her lips slightly parted like rose petals... utterly captivating...

Her face was filled with that stunningly beautiful and delicate smile.

Baby, learn your lesson this time. Don’t be so disobedient...

A man with an innocent face looked at the woman on the chair. He stood straight by her side, shoulder to shoulder with her.

Understood, I will be obedient. I will listen to you for everything...

The woman’s face beamed with a shy smile, her lips puckered slightly.

A feeling of joy and satisfaction powerfully seized his heart, making it feel as though his soul might take flight!

"HEHEHEHE..." A series of devilish laughter escaped the office. Qi Longbing was laughing...

A complex, sinister glint flickered in Qi Longbing’s eyes.

「The next day at work.」

Hua Xiaomo arrived at the president’s office punctually. Just as Hua Xiaomo stepped into the office, Qi Longbing followed right behind her.

"You’re here. A whole day of relaxation, not bad, huh?" Qi Longbing said as he tossed his bag on the Osaka chair. He felt his necktie was too tight and loosened it slightly with both hands.

"It was fine," Hua Xiaomo replied, just about to return to her seat.

"Fine is good. Go, make me a cup of coffee!" Qi Longbing said with a smile.

Hua Xiaomo didn’t say anything. She quickly prepared a warm coffee and handed it over. "President Qi, your coffee."

"Feed it to me," Qi Longbing said, casually flipping open a document and pretending to read.

Hua Xiaomo looked at him, an inexplicable wave of irritation rising in her chest. Does he really enjoy this so much? It’s not like he doesn’t have hands. So annoying.

"Didn’t you hear me? Do I need to repeat myself?" Qi Longbing replied, raising an eyebrow. His handsome face held that characteristic, devilishly alluring glint.

Hua Xiaomo took a deep breath, trying to control her temper. She picked up the spoon and moved it toward his lips.

Qi Longbing’s thin lips parted slightly as he drank the coffee she fed him, though his gaze still lingered on the document.

As she kept feeding him, suddenly...

Hua Xiaomo’s hand trembled, and a spoonful of coffee ended up in his nostril. Nᴇw novel chapters are publɪshed on novel•fire.net

"PFFT..." Hua Xiaomo couldn’t help but laugh.

"COUGH, COUGH, COUGH..." Qi Longbing, on the other hand, choked uncomfortably. He quickly stepped away from her, grabbing a tissue from the table to wipe his prominent nose.

"Hua Xiaomo, it seems you really want to rebel, don’t you?" Qi Longbing glared at her, fuming. How dare this damn woman play such a trick on me?

"Ah, President Qi, you weren’t looking and tried to drink it with your nose. How can you blame my feeding?" Hua Xiaomo said with a mischievous smile, somehow feeling a thrill from her prank.

Qi Longbing looked at her, his eyes narrowing. "Such sophistry! Do you really think I can’t handle you? Come with me!"

After speaking, Qi Longbing grabbed her wrist. A sharp pain immediately shot through Hua Xiaomo’s wrist.

"President Qi, what are you trying to do?" Hua Xiaomo asked warily.

"What am I trying to do? You have the nerve to ask me?" Qi Longbing said directly, a hint of irritation in his eyes.

Hearing this, Hua Xiaomo’s anger surged. She could no longer hold back and threw the entire cup of coffee onto his handsome face.

Instantly, Qi Longbing’s face and shirtfront were drenched. He wiped his face with one hand, but his other hand still had a firm grip on her.

"Let go! I don’t want to serve you anymore!" Hua Xiaomo said, flushed with anger and embarrassment. Her face was filled with rage as she shook off his hand and headed toward the exit.

Just as she was about to reach the president’s office door, Qi Longbing’s angry shout came suddenly, "Hua Xiaomo, if you dare to step out of here, you’ll regret it!"

Upon hearing that, Hua Xiaomo snorted coldly. Without looking back, she quickly pulled open the president’s office door and dashed out.

"Damn woman! Damn woman!" Qi Longbing cursed through gritted teeth. He immediately grabbed his phone and exploded again, "Yu Bao, stop that woman! Don’t let her leave my territory!"

Yu Bao held the phone away from his ear, listening to the thunderous voice. He still asked cautiously to confirm, "President Qi, are you referring to Miss Hua?"

"Nonsense!" Qi Longbing quickly hung up. Eyeing the coffee stains on his clothes, he realized his perfectly good day had started by being drenched.

Damn it! No one has ever dared to douse me with water before! She’s definitely the first! No, I have to teach her a harsh lesson, or she’ll really think I, Qi Longbing, am a pushover! Hmph! Damn woman!

Qi Longbing’s eyes were filled with a dark, captivating gleam.

Just as Hua Xiaomo reached the main gate of the Qi Imperial Court, she saw the young man still waiting there anxiously.

Hua Xiaomo paused, then walked towards him.

"Xiao Mo!" Wen Yajun also stepped forward excitedly to greet her.

"I’m sorry, Wen Yajun, I..." Hua Xiaomo hesitated before speaking.

Upon hearing this, Wen Yajun managed a forced smile. "It’s okay. I knew President Qi wouldn’t agree so easily."

"Actually, it’s not that... I haven’t talked to him about your job yet. I’m really sorry," Hua Xiaomo replied, somewhat troubled.

I don’t even know what to do anymore. Faced with this awkward situation, I really don’t want to stay here another moment. I feel like I should leave this place, get far, far away. I never want to work here again! Working here is just so, so annoying. Not a single day is joyful, not a single day is happy. I’m always in such a state of trepidation.
