Charm point maxed out, inheriting game assets-Chapter 1696 - 586: Zhang Yan! Zhang Yan!
November 3, 2023, Friday, Cloudy.
6:00 AM, Shencheng Bay No.1.
Accompanied by the pleasant sound of the alarm clock.
Liu Qingning lifted herself from the soft bed and used voice control to awaken the indoor lights, and the gentle light instantly filled the room.
She tidied her disheveled hair, her fingertips subconsciously brushing over the warm Green Satchel Gourd on her chest, and softly said, "Good morning."
She threw off the covers and got out of bed; the cool air quickly made her feel awake.
Stretching lazily, she picked up her phone and checked it; there were no unread messages.
Her eyes flickered imperceptibly as she changed into sportswear and walked outside.
"Good morning, Miss Qingning." Aunt Mei, who was preparing breakfast in the kitchen, greeted softly.
"Good morning, Aunt Mei."
Arriving at the workout area in the corner of the living room, Liu Qingning turned on the treadmill, placed her phone on the stand in front, and began warming up.
She knew that at this moment, Tang Song was very likely sleeping with Wen Ruan.
In fact, before Wen Ruan set off for Yang City, she specifically called her, speaking with a tone of probing and closeness, and even planned to visit her alone in Shen City when she had time.
In the past, Liu Qingning would have instinctively refused.
Let Tang Song’s other woman, after spending a blissful night with him, come to see her; it made her feel uncomfortable from the bottom of her heart.
But now, the matter of Su Yu weighed on her chest like a heavy mountain, so weighty that she could barely breathe.
By comparison, Wen Ruan’s presence seemed not so difficult to accept.
The treadmill’s speed gradually increased, and her heart rate soon reached the optimal fat-burning zone.
Liu Qingning watched the city outside the window, still not awakened, as her breathing became rapid and sweat trickled down her temples.
In her mind, thoughts surged like a raging torrent, never stopping.
The Xuanji Light Realm financing project was about to kick off, and she would represent Qingmi AI to go to Shanghai.
Soon, she would officially meet this legendary "top beauty."
Not on TV, not at a concert, and not in the news.
But in real life, in Tang Song’s world.
Face to face, with no retreat.
Liu Qingning felt an unprecedented tension and fear.
No one could ignore Su Yu’s beauty and talent; even as a woman, one would be drawn to such a beauty, let alone a man.
Meanwhile, a surge of regret welled up from the depths of her heart.
Since she was young, she lived under the Halo of being surrounded by admiration, with outstanding academics and looks, which fostered in her a nearly arrogant rationality and independence.
It was this environment that led to some blind spots in her emotional understanding.
She couldn’t empathize with Tang Song’s feelings for her.
She always thought that as long as she was good enough and excellent enough, he would always follow her, to meet at the Peak.
She naturally enjoyed his pursuit but never truly valued the fatigue and longing in his eyes.
She never thought she would come to this point and couldn’t accept a future without Tang Song — a failed future.
Over the years knowing Tang Song, other girls had appeared around him.
Whether it was female classmates of the same grade or some adorable junior sisters.
After all, during high school, Tang Song was tall, slim, cheerful, and naturally likable.
But because of her presence, those girls tacitly and voluntarily chose to step back.
And Tang Song’s gaze never strayed from her.
Of course, besides these people, Liu Qingning recalled a girl from Second High School.
Also a junior high school classmate of Tang Song.
Seemed to be called Zhang Yan.
Since their first year in high school, she occasionally saw the other girl’s figure on the First Middle School campus, always when she was with Tang Song.
With a woman’s sixth sense and natural cleverness, she could naturally detect that the other girl was interested in Tang Song.
She still remembered this because over two years ago, she encountered her in the Imperial City as well.
Once at Tiantong Garden South subway station.
Another time, at the headquarters of Gao Si Education.
The Century Wisdom she founded in college is an AI-driven smart educational technology company, with clients including these educational institutions.
Once, while representing the company for a cooperation talk, she encountered her.
She could vaguely guess some things, but out of selfishness, she didn’t tell Tang Song about it.
Later, as policies tightened, Gao Si Education’s business shrank significantly and was even ordered to rectify by the education committee, rendering the cooperation impossible.
As she was lost in these chaotic thoughts.
"Ding ding ding~~" A WeChat video call came through.
[Tang Song]
Liu Qingning couldn’t help but smile at first, then her face tightened, and she slowed the treadmill down.
She waited a few seconds before answering the call.
"What? Tired out from last night? Waking up so late today? Don’t let Wen Ruan drain you dry!"
Tang Song paused, awkwardly said, "Last night, I had dinner with an executive from Smart Chain Future and drank a lot; I overslept. They’re currently integrating lime3.0 multi-modal model to create their own e-commerce content generation engine..."
As he spoke, he walked to the gym equipment and began warming up.
Indeed, when it came to work and AI, Liu Qingning’s attention was instantly drawn back.
Only then did Tang Song secretly sigh in relief.
Because in the afternoon, he played an intense tennis match with an older sister, and they both were quite "calm" before going to sleep at night.
But at 2 AM, the older sister ambushed him with a sudden night attack and bit him.
Tang Song, half asleep, was caught completely off guard.
