Chapter 1881: Chapter 632: The First Love Begins to “Go Dark” (Part 4)

Su Yu’s eyes curved slightly, and a trace of warmth spread in her cool amber eyes, "Mm-hmm, November 18th, which is your birthday, we’ll release it, so you can hear it right away. I hope this counts as a birthday gift you’d want."

Feeling an attitude from the other side completely different from what she imagined, Liu Qingning felt conflicted, "Thank you, it’s my honor."

As a rival in love, she originally thought even if the other side didn’t speak coldly to her, they would at least suppress her in all aspects.

But now it seems that the situation isn’t what she imagined.

Su Yu’s attitude was almost excessively good. 𝑓𝑟𝑒𝘦𝓌𝑒𝑏𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝘭.𝒸𝘰𝑚

Honestly, she certainly couldn’t do the same.

"Let’s sit down and talk," Su Yu gestured with a calm demeanor, "We’ll discuss work first, then have a meal together."

Liu Qingning suppressed the turbulent emotions in her heart, nodded, and sat down on the sofa.

Su Yu didn’t choose to sit at the main seat but directly sat next to her, very close.

Feeling the vague presence and the gaze of those eyes, Liu Qingning’s heart refused to slow down.

The meeting officially began.

Mainly represented by Zhou Mingkai of Tangzong Entertainment, they conducted preliminary communication with Liu Qingning on the cooperation details of the Xuanji Light Realm project.

Su Yu sat quietly on a single sofa, mostly just listening, occasionally interjecting a few words.

Tangzong Entertainment, as the largest comprehensive entertainment group in the country, possesses not only a top-tier film and music IP library.

The incubated Xinghuo Interactive Entertainment is already one of the top five game development and publishing companies in the country.

It will provide full ecological content support for Xuanji Light Realm in the future.

Liu Qingning, gradually entering a working state, seemed to have returned to normal.

She indeed had been a die-hard fan of Su Yu, but when it came to Tang Song, her pride wouldn’t allow her to retreat.

No matter what, she couldn’t show weakness.

Nor could she show a hint of timidity in front of this woman.

Outside the window, the sky gradually darkened.

The city’s neon lights first appeared, weaving into a vividly colorful scene.

Liu Qingning glanced at the time and took the initiative to stand up, "I’ve already booked a private room in the administrative restaurant downstairs. Why don’t we head over and talk while we eat?"

Ten minutes later.

The four of them took a private elevator to the restaurant’s private room on the 5th floor.

The sumptuous dishes were already on the table, with the most dazzling night view of Shen City Bay outside the window.

A little past seven in the evening, they ate for a while and finished discussing the necessary business.

Zhou Mingkai and Zhuo Bo exchanged a knowledgeable glance and then stood up.

"President Liu, we’re very sorry. We have some urgent work to deal with on our side, so we may need to leave first."

Next to them, Su Yu also put down her chopsticks, "You guys can go deal with it, I’ll chat with President Liu."

"Then we’ll trouble you, Chairman Su." The two answered respectfully.

Hearing this exchange, Liu Qingning’s heart skipped a beat.

But she still tried to maintain a polite smile on her face: "Goodbye, President Zhou, President Zhuo, take care."

"Goodbye, President Liu, please don’t see us off."

"Goodbye."

The door of the private room was closed again, instantly isolating everything from the outside world.

Only the two of them were left, along with the silent, magnificent night view outside the window.

Liu Qingning stiffly turned around and sat back across from Su Yu.

Never before had she felt this nervous.

Ultimately, she was afraid.

Unlike Wen Ruan, the person in front of her was Su Yu!

In every aspect, she seemed impeccable.

Even as a woman, looking into those eyes from such a close distance could evoke an almost heart-throbbing feeling.

She didn’t think any man in this world could truly resist her charm.

Their gazes met again.

They could both clearly see the complex emotions in each other’s eyes.

Finally, Su Yu spoke first, "Do you have anything... you want to ask me, Qingning?"

Liu Qingning clenched her hand under the table.

Facing those amber eyes, she slowly said, "Miss Su Yu, I’ve always liked your songs, ever since the Echo Girl Group days throughout high school. Like many fans, I’ve always had a question, who is the creator of those later golden hits, Song?"

Su Yu’s red lips moved slightly, "Yes, it’s Tang Song."

"Sigh—"

Liu Qingning’s ample E cup heaved with tumultuous emotion.

Being extremely intelligent, she didn’t need to ask more; one look, one affirmative answer, and everything was understood.

Just as she suspected, Tang Song was the one involved in establishing Tangzong Entertainment and was the person who had elevated Su Yu to the altar.

Meaning, when she got into college and left his side full of ambition, chasing that so-called "Peak Meeting," he and Su Yu were already together, climbing to the pinnacle hand in hand.

Su Yu was much stronger than Wen Ruan, and her ties with him were even deeper.

Originally, Liu Qingning planned to use this birthday and the upcoming "Jing County First High School 50th Anniversary Celebration" as a way to confront Tang Song in her most familiar, strongest home ground.

Because facing Su Yu, she couldn’t think of any winning odds for herself.

But unexpectedly, the other party would directly lay everything bare.

"Then, Miss Su Yu..." she gritted her teeth, her gaze defiant and shaking with unwillingness, "Did you come here to tell me something?"

However, Su Yu’s next actions completely exceeded her expectations.

Su Yu slowly stood up from her seat, walked in front of her, and then solemnly bent down to her.

"I came this time primarily to apologize to you. Sorry, Qingning."

This sudden gesture bewildered Liu Qingning completely.

"This... why..."

Su Yu straightened up, her face showing a complex expression.

"Back then, the angel round financing for Century Wisdom was facilitated by me. Later on, when Si Jue Education asked your entire team to move to Shen City, it was... orchestrated by me alone."

Liu Qingning stood up from her chair with a ’thud,’ her face turning pale instantly, and her body started trembling violently.

Her feelings for Tang Song were beyond question; if not for school and the entrepreneurship competition in college, she couldn’t have resisted confronting him.

Later when Tang Song came to the Imperial City to join her, after spending some alone time, their ambiguous relationship had just started to make progress when the angel round financing for Century Wisdom came around, and they became extremely busy again, shifting her focus back to her career.

Later, it was also because she came to Shen City that she and Tang Song separated, creating an irreparable rift in their relationship.

Meaning all these "coincidences" were orchestrated in the background by Su Yu.

Liu Qingning’s lips trembled, it took her a long time to find her voice: "So what do you want to do now? Do you want me... to leave him?"

"Of course not." Su Yu laughed self-deprecatingly, her voice full of bitterness: "I’m not Jin Meixiao, I’m not that overbearing, nor do I have the right to make you leave."

Liu Qingning was stunned again, "What do you mean... Jin, Chairman Jin? What does she have to do with it?"

"Of course it’s related because she wants to monopolize Tang Song."

"Buzz—buzz—"

Waves of pain came from her head.

Liu Qingning only felt that the whole world became unreal.
