Chapter 207: Chapter 207

Heaven knows how much she didn’t want to come here, yet for their future, she couldn’t let anyone interfere with her happiness! Yes! For this goal, I have to make him give up on me. I’ll try everything. I must be with Brother Dong because I like Brother Nong... and I want Brother Long and me to live happily together.

"..." Qi Longbing’s gaze rested entirely on her face, seemingly unable to look away, his blue eyes narrowing further.

Today, she looked different from any other time—so dark, so beautiful. The feeling that she was an illusion only grew stronger.

Is this the Dark Angel who came to save me?

Hua Xiaomo saw that he hadn’t answered her, but his eyes were clearly fixed on her face. For a moment, she averted her gaze, no longer meeting his.

Suddenly, Ms. Zhang couldn’t help but remind him, "President Qi, it’s time for the meeting."

Qi Longbing snapped back to his senses in half a second. "The meeting is canceled." Then, he took Hua Xiaomo’s hand and said with a smile, "Come, let’s go inside and talk."

Hua Xiaomo didn’t resist, letting him lead her by the hand back into the executive office.

The three people outside—Yu Bao, Ms. Lin, and Ms. Zhang—were all stunned. This was the first time they had seen their boss cancel a meeting on the spot without a word, especially right when it was about to begin.

And his attitude towards Hua Xiaomo... it was incredibly attentive!

"Stop staring! Get back to your own work!" Yu Bao said, unable to bear seeing the two secretaries practically glued to the spot.

Ms. Lin looked at Yu Bao and smiled mysteriously. "Assistant Yu, our President is being so nice to Xiao Mo. Could an engagement be on the horizon?"

"You really love to gossip!" Yu Bao said with an amused annoyance. "If you want to know, go ask President Qi yourself."

"Never mind then." Ms. Lin shrugged and walked away. Ms. Zhang also returned to her desk.

Yu Bao looked at the tightly closed door, a faint smile on his handsome face.

Hua Xiaomo, have you finally figured it out? In this world, only President Qi can give you happiness!

Qi Longbing personally pulled out a chair for her, his face beaming as he said, "Sit down!"

Hua Xiaomo looked at him, a dark glint in her eyes. "President Qi, don’t you want to know why I came back?"

"Why?" Qi Longbing asked with a smile.

Hua Xiaomo responded with a light smile, "Because I’ve gotten used to being here. Besides, now that I’ve graduated, I need a job to support myself and my mother."

Listening to her, the smile never left Qi Longbing’s incomparably handsome face. "If you’re willing, I can support you, and your mother as well."

This time, Hua Xiaomo didn’t react as intensely as before, nor did she offer a pretentious smile.

She replied with a calm expression, "President Qi, may I ask you a question?"

"Hmm? Go ahead! I’ll tell you anything you want to know," Qi Longbing said with a sly smile.

"You’re such a distinguished person. Why would you give me, of all people, an opportunity that so many girls dream of? Do I have any particular qualities that you remember?" If I do, I’ll definitely change them!

Of course, she didn’t say that last part out loud. Fresh chapters posted on 𝕟𝕠𝕧𝕖𝕝⟡𝕗𝕚𝕣𝕥⟡𝕟𝕖𝕥

Qi Longbing smiled again. Looking at her, he couldn’t help but place a hand on her shoulder. "Sweetheart, are you asking why I like you?"

"Do you like me? You don’t seem to have ever said so," Hua Xiaomo said with a faint smile.

"Oh... You remember that so clearly! Why do I seem to recall telling you countless times?" Qi Longbing said with a laugh. He wrapped one arm around the back of her neck, playfully toying with her delicate, beautiful earlobe and the black diamond stud adorning it. Gazing at its bewitching glimmer, he felt his soul nearly plummet.

Instead of replying, he pressed a deep kiss to her forehead. At the same time, his arms involuntarily urged her shoulders back.

Hua Xiaomo’s shoulders yielded to his pressure, her nerves tensing in that instant. "President Qi..."

A true, lingering kiss landed on her flower-like, beautiful lips...

Joy. In that moment, a soul-stirring sensation made her heart pound wildly.

When she realized that soft kiss was deepening, Hua Xiaomo instinctively tried to pull away, but in the next second...

Qi Longbing chuckled and straddled her lap, firmly pinning the stunning beauty before him between the chair and his own body.

"You... you’re heavy!" Hua Xiaomo protested, looking at this man sitting on her. An indescribable sensation brought a faint blush to her cheeks.

"You’re so beautiful!" Qi Longbing praised, his hand caressing her face. He kissed her so beautifully, little by little, as if he could never kiss her enough to express her beauty.

So infatuated, so breathtakingly poignant.

"President Qi, you still haven’t answered my question." Hua Xiaomo turned her head, trying to avoid his hand, but he wouldn’t easily let her go. He smiled, and one hand reached for her red lips, caressing them tenderly, lingering there.

"I love kissing you here the most... Did you know? This angelic appearance of yours was born for me, and every part of you, every inch, is mine..." Qi Longbing said with a smile, his cheesy words making waves crash in Hua Xiaomo’s heart.

Hua Xiaomo was silent for a moment, then asked, "So... you still want to support me?"

"Of course. Xiao Mo, my darling, I really want to spoil you!" Qi Longbing said with a smirk, placing a hand on her shoulder and giving it a squeeze. "So, what do you say? Will you agree?"

"..." Hua Xiaomo didn’t answer him immediately.

"As long as you’re willing to be with me, Qi Longbing, I swear I’ll make you the happiest woman in the world!" Qi Longbing declared, then, once again, overcome by emotion, he leaned in to kiss her...

His handsome face, drawing compellingly near, made Hua Xiaomo want to shrink away, but she was destined not to escape.

He held her down, his hand sliding over her black shirt, as if trying to breach the dark fabric to reach the pale skin beneath.

As long as I can get some compromising photos of him, I’ll succeed!

Hua Xiaomo mulled this over, but the difficulty was obvious.

"No!" Hua Xiaomo refused, grabbing his hand, her eyes filled with an unspoken, painful struggle. "I don’t want to be supported. I don’t want to be that kind of woman. President Qi, can you please let me go?"

She still hadn’t overcome that hurdle in her heart; she just couldn’t. Deep down, her feelings, her true feelings, were still for Brother Long. She couldn’t bring herself to like Qi Longbing. Being with him ... she desperately wanted to make him give up on her. But how could she possibly make Qi Longbing give up on her? It was truly a difficult problem. What qualities did he even see in her? If they were indeed good qualities, she wished she could change every single one of them.
