Sweet Time Only for You: The Entanglement between Mr. Lu and Miss Song-Chapter 327: Going Along with the Flow
Lu Jihan slightly furrowed his brows, his mind clear.
Regardless of whether Song Anqi intended it or not, she had successfully placed him in a dilemma.
He absolutely did not believe that Song Anqi’s appearance here was a mere coincidence, nor would he believe that she had rid herself of her inherent faults.
As for her intentions...
Lu Jihan pressed his lips together, remaining silent.
Seeing his thin lips pressed tightly and his face unsightly, with his attractive yet sharp eyes slightly narrowed, Song Anqi felt a bit intimidated inside.
Thus, she quickly spoke up to dissuade her mentor.
"Professor Qin, I really don’t need you to do this. There are indeed things I did wrong, and I deserve this outcome. I have no complaints, and I’ve already accepted the dissolution of the contract with Mainland Group." 𝘧𝓇ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝘣𝓃ℴ𝓋𝑒𝑙.𝑐𝘰𝑚
She sighed lightly and continued, "You are my mentor, and I understand your care and desire to speak on my behalf, but this matter... is really not as you think."
"Not as I think?"
However, Professor Qin, in his eagerness to protect his protege, was even more infuriated when he saw Song Anqi taking all the blame upon herself.
He let out a heavy sigh, looking very much like he hated iron for not becoming steel.
"You, oh you, Angie, are you protecting him? Do you think your teacher doesn’t know your thoughts?"
As he spoke, Professor Qin Qing coldly glared at Lu Jihan, his tone was light, but his words carried a deep sincerity:
"You are utterly devoted to him, but to him, you are nothing. You only know how to wrong yourself; it was like that before, and it’s still like that now. Ah—"
Shaking his head, he continued, "Earlier, I said I would introduce you to an excellent peer, but you refused, and I thought it was because you were overly focused on your career. But now I understand; you have fallen in love with the wrong person and misjudged their character!"
After a brief pause, Professor Qin Qing once more glared at Lu Jihan with discontent in his words.
Finally, he cupped Song Anqi’s hands in his own and said, "Angie, listen to your teacher’s advice: A man who forsakes his partner for another woman is not worth collaborating with. Such a man is even less worthy of your love."
Having said that, he resentfully flung his hand, turning away to avoid looking at Lu Jihan.
Lu Jihan, however, was not angry and remained silent, his face revealing nothing of his thoughts to outsiders.
And at this moment, Lu Jihan’s mind was clear.
Seeing Professor Qin Qing’s attitude, it was evident he already regarded him as a villain, and any defense would be futile.
Moreover, Song Anqi had deliberately chosen this moment to appear before Professor Qin Qing, clearly trying to deepen the professor’s bias against him.
If he insisted on trying to change Professor Qin Qing’s view of him, it might backfire.
In this case, it would be better...
Lu Jihan slightly furrowed his brows, having made a decision.
The next second, he nodded slightly and said in a calm voice, "Since Professor Qin has already made a decision and has considerable opinions about me, I won’t insist. Although our collaboration cannot proceed, I hope there will be no hard feelings, and I wish Professor Qin good health."
After a brief pause, he turned back and nodded towards Shen Kang and Manager Wang, indicating, "We won’t disturb Professor Qin’s rest any longer today."
The implication was that he was giving up on collaborating with Professor Qin.
Shen Kang and Manager Wang were both taken aback, feeling quite surprised, but since Lu Jihan was their superior, he must have his reasons.
Neither of them spoke; they merely nodded slightly and left with Lu Jihan.
Professor Qin and Song Anqi were both shocked.
Especially Song Anqi, who was utterly stunned on the spot.
