To My Dear Mr. Huo-Chapter 720 - Did You Think That I Would Be Soft-hearted
Chapter 720: Did You Think That I Would Be Soft-hearted
Her eyes full of hostility, Li Qianxue glared at Su Chenghui. She looked at Su Chenghui, the man who had ruined most of her life. She had already tried all means to avoid him, but in the end, she found that there was no way to avoid him.
The two of them had a common child and shared common interests. It was almost impossible for her not to see Su Chenghui.
However, this did not mean that she had to accept Su Chenghui.
She lifted her foot and kicked Su Chenghui, who was still sleeping.
In the past, Li Qianxue would never have done such a rude thing, but now she was really too angry.
However, she had just woken up and drank quite a lot yesterday. This kick was really not very strong and did not kick Su Chenghui out of the bed at all.
When Su Chenghui opened his eyes, he saw Li Qianxue glaring at him with an angry expression. He had stripped her naked yesterday, and even the blanket couldn’t cover her body.
She was so busy being angry that she forgot to cover her body.
“Qianxue?”
With a familiar environment, a familiar aura, and a familiar person, for a moment, Su Chenghui thought that they hadn’t divorced yet and that they were still in their previous marriage.
“Su Chenghui.” Li Qianxue looked at him with a cold expression on her face. She was very dissatisfied with his shameless behavior yesterday. “I really didn’t know that after the divorce, you could become so thick-skinned.”
Su Chenghui sat up. Li Qianxue’s words made him quickly remember everything that happened last night.
“Qianxue, I didn’t –”
“You didn’t what?” Li Qianxue sneered. “You didn’t sleep with me? Or you didn’t take advantage of me?”
He didn’t have s*x with her, but taking advantage of her…-
Taking off her clothes and seeing her naked shouldn’t count, right?
Before Su Chenghui could explain himself, Li Qianxue had already slapped him in the face.
She had just woken up, so the force wasn’t that heavy, but this slap still made Su Chenghui’s face turn away.
“Qianxue, I didn’t –”
There was another slap. This time, it was on the other side of his face. Su Chenghui took two slaps in a row. He didn’t explain anymore and just looked at Li Qianxue.
Li Qianxue only realized what she had done in her anger after the slap. Her slightly numb palm was still hanging in the air. She withdrew her hand and stepped back a little.
The anger in her heart was released from her slap, but it didn’t dissipate. Especially when she saw her current situation.
Su Chenghui didn’t explain himself and didn’t Dodge to let her hit him. This made it impossible for her to vent the anger in her heart.
She glanced at him, turned around, and directly got off the bed. Her shoes had been taken off by Su Chenghui to the other side of the bed yesterday. There was a carpet in the room, so she couldn’t be bothered to put on her shoes and directly stepped on it.
Su Chenghui stood up and grabbed her hand. “Qianxue?”
“Let go of me.”
Su Chenghui looked at her face and said seriously, “Qianxue, I didn’t take advantage of you, nor did I do anything to you.”
Li Qianxue turned around to look at him. There were two faint five-finger prints on his face. She wasn’t very strong, so she believed that they would disappear in a while.
“You didn’t take advantage of me? Then you mean you want to tell me that Xiao Tao helped me take off my clothes?”
Su Chenghui choked and shook his head gently. “I took off your clothes, but I really didn’t –”
“Nothing? “Li Qianxue just stood there,
Even if Su Chenghui was unwilling, he saw her naked body now. He looked up and forced himself to focus on her face. “Qianxue, you know –”
Li Qianxue had been lying in the same bed with Su Chenghui all these years, and she had already given birth to two children. At this age, it was hard for her to be as shy as a little girl.
She felt angry because she hated Su Chenghui. Any contact with him was enough to make her angry.
Such emotions were very intense, and she couldn’t control them.
“Su Chenghui, do you think that I’m that cheap?”
“Qianxue? I told you, I didn’t –”
“Su Chenghui, do you think that because I once loved you, no matter what you say or do, I’ll forgive you?”
“Do you think that after so many years, I couldn’t get what I wanted from you, so when you’re willing to love me, when you’re willing to be with me, I have to be grateful? I have to wash myself immediately and agree to your request to start over?”
“I didn’t think so.” Su Chenghui wanted to explain, but Li Qianxue didn’t listen at all.
“It’s been 27 years, right? In 27 years, I haven’t been able to make you fall in love with me. I haven’t made you fall in love with me. In the end, after our divorce, you said that you fell in love with me. Do you think that I would believe you? Su Chenghui, do you think that I’m that stupid?”
Su Chenghui’s lips moved, and Li Qianxue withdrew her hand. “Actually, I really don’t want to talk about these things. You know how boring it is, right? It’s over when it’s over. It’s impossible.”
“It’s not something that can be changed if you’re good to me or if you work hard. I’ve tried hard, and I’ve been good to you, but my hard work hasn’t yielded any results, and I haven’t even had any good results. Now, do you think your hard work is useful?”
“I don’t think so.” Su Chenghui finally had the chance to speak. “I’ve said it. Even if you don’t forgive me for the rest of your life, even if you continue to hate me for the rest of your life, I don’t mind, because I owe you this. I just want to be by your side as much as possible. I want to do something within my power for you.”
“Don’t you understand? To me, the so-called ‘within my power’ is for you to stay away from me. The farther the better. If that’s the case, I’ll still thank you.”
“Qianxue?” Su Chenghui smiled bitterly. Among all the conditions, this was the only one that he could not agree to.
“Su Chenghui, I will say it again. Every time you appear, you remind me again, remind me of my past stupidity, remind me of my past blindness. Also, you remind me of the mistakes I have made. Don’t you understand?”
“You aren’t wrong. I am the one who was wrong.” Such a Li Qianxue made Su Chenghui’s heart ache. He took a step forward and wanted to say something, but Li Qianxue raised her hand. She took a step back.
“No. You weren’t wrong. I was the one who was wrong.”
At this moment, her clothes were disheveled, but the emotions in her eyes made him feel sad.
“The biggest mistake in my life is that I shouldn’t have fallen in love with you.”
Su Chenghui’s body trembled. He couldn’t say anything else.
“I’ve already paid a huge price for this mistake. So I’ve corrected this mistake now. Su Chenghui, I’m begging you. I’ve already led my life on the right track. Please stay away from me and let me walk on my own path. Can you do that?”
After saying that, she went straight into the bathroom.
His face pale, Su Chenghui was left sitting there.
..
Perhaps it was because of what she said the other day that Li Qianxue didn’t see Su Chenghui for the next few days.
This made her more or less relieved. However, before she could completely relax, Wei Ting came.
During this period of time, Wei Ting had not come to look for her, but he had called a lot. She knew that Wei Ting had gone on a business trip, and his company was developing well. She could often see news of their company in the Finance section.
Although he did not come to look for her, his phone calls and messages did not stop.
“Dear Qianxue, I’m back.”
Wei Ting, holding a large bouquet of perfume lilies in his hand, entered her office like a child.
“Flowers for the beauty.”
He placed the bouquet in front of Li Qianxue, but she didn’t take it. “I don’t think I said I was free to see you?”
“But, you didn’t say you weren’t free.”
As Wei Ting spoke, he placed the bouquet of flowers on her desk.
Li Qianxue just wanted him to take the flowers away, but he raised his hands at this moment. “I haven’t seen you for so long, and you didn’t miss me?”
“No.”
“You really know how to hurt my feelings. Since you didn’t miss me, then I must do something to make you miss me.”
Li Qianxue looked at him in confusion. Wei Ting waved his hands in front of Li Qianxue.
“One, two, three, change.”
She didn’t know how he did it, but with a twist of his hand, an exquisite box appeared in his hand.
He put the box in front of her. “It’s a gift for you.”
“Wei Ting –”
Li Qianxue looked at the logo on the velvet box. She knew this brand, which was a relatively niche jewelry brand. Although it was niche, every accessory wasn’t cheap.
“Open it and see if you like it.”
Wei Ting ignored her refusal. He saw that Li Qianxue had no intention of opening the box. He took the initiative to open the box.
“I picked it out after a long time, and I think it suits you very well. Even if you don’t like it, you should take a look at it on account that I came all the way home and still wanted to bring you a gift, right?”
The box was opened to reveal the jewelry inside.
It was a very simple earring with two snowflakes, very small and delicate. It was inlaid with broken diamonds that were low-key and unique.
Li Qianxue had a lot of jewelry. As the President of the Li Corporation, not to mention the jewelry she used every time she went out, there was a room at home for the jewelry she received on her birthday.
But looking at this gift, then looking at Wei Ting, she was more or less touched by his kindness.
“Thank you.”
“It’s good that you like it.” Wei Ting picked up the pair of earrings and looked at Li Qianxue’s earlobe. “Can I help you wear it?”
“No need.” Li Qianxue subconsciously refused, but Wei Ting walked around the desk, picked up one of the earrings, and stood beside Li Qianxue.
“Whether it looks good or not, you have to wear it to know.”
After Wei Ting said so, Li Qianxue didn’t have time to refuse. He bent down and carefully put the earrings on her.
Li Qianxue was a little uncomfortable, but she couldn’t avoid his hands.
“It’s done.”
Wei Ting put it on, but he didn’t retreat back to the other side of the desk. Instead, his hands on both sides of the chair, he turned Li Qianxue’s chair and stared at her face.
“Qianxue, you look very beautiful.”
“Thank you.” Li Qianxue didn’t show much surprise at his compliment. She glanced at his hands on both sides of the armrest. “Can you let go first?”
“No.” Wei Ting lowered his body and looked at her. “Qianxue, I like you. You know that, right?”
“Wei Ting –”
“Although I know it’s a bit shameless to say this, I still have to say it. Qianxue, can you give me a chance to pursue you?”
His gaze was very serious. Li Qianxue wanted to refuse, but Wei Ting put a finger on her lips.
“During my business trip, I went to many places and negotiated several contracts. If it was before, I would feel a sense of accomplishment and happiness. But this time, my sense of accomplishment is very low, and my happiness is even lower.”
His face leaned forward a little. “Do you know why?”
He didn’t need Li Qianxue’s answer. He just wanted to tell her, “Because I didn’t have you, and I missed you very much.”
“Wei Ting –” Towards someone who was so much younger than her, Li Qianxue almost wanted to treat him as her junior. When he said such words in front of her, it would be false to say that it didn’t touch her.
But because she was touched, she knew that she was only touched, not in love. She pulled his hand away. Her tone was very light, but her attitude was very firm.
“You will meet better women in the future.”
“Maybe.” Wei Ting nodded. “But those women aren’t you.”
“Wei Ting, don’t be like this.”
“Qianxue, I know your concerns, and I also know your thoughts. Can I settle for the second best? Give me a chance to pursue you. If you really can’t fall in love with me in the end, I promise not to pester you, how about it?”
Wei Ting was not bad-looking, and he could even be said to be handsome. He had a pair of beautiful eyes. When he stared at her seriously, she could see her own shadow in them.
Facing such a Wei Ting, it was really difficult for Li Qianxue to refuse, but it was only very difficult.
“Since you know that there will be no result, why waste time?” She really did not want to hurt him, but there were some things that she knew better than him. “I won’t ever love you. No matter how long you pursue me, it will be the same.”
“You won’t love me because of Su Chenghui? What’s so good about him? He’s older than me, and I believe that his physical strength isn’t as good as mine. Also, he, yes, he has already divorced you.”
Hearing his words, Li Qianxue was so surprised that she wanted to laugh.
Su Chenghui was indeed older than Wei Ting, but she knew that his physical strength was definitely not bad, just from the day he played with her.
On the surface, they were tied, but she knew that Su Chenghui did not use his full strength.
She wondered how Su Chenghui would react if he found out one day that he was called old. He must have a very good look on his face.
Realizing that she was actually absent-minded, Wei Ting’s face was suddenly filled with grievance. “Qianxue? Did I say something wrong?”
“Wei Ting.” Li Qianxue looked at him as if she was looking at a child. “You’re not wrong. I did divorce him, but it’s because I’m already divorced that I’m not afraid to tell you. I’m old and tired. I can’t fall in love anymore.
“You’re still young. You’re different from me. You have the chance to love a younger, better girl. I’m not suitable for you.”
“I don’t want a younger and better girl.” Wei Ting hugged Li Qianxue as he spoke and pressed his face against her shoulder. “I only want you.”
“But I don’t want you.” Li Qianxue did not push him away. She only patted his back. “Don’t say that you’re willing to wait for me. It’s very tiring to have feelings that you can’t get back after a long period of time. You won’t be able to stand it after a long time.”
“I won’t –”
“Wei Ting, my life experience tells me not to be too full of yourself.”
Don’t be too decisive, don’t be too full of yourself. These words were actually said by Old Master Li.
She didn’t understand it before, but later she realized that these words really made sense.
“My life experience tells me that if I want it, I have to fight for it. No matter what the result is, at least I won’t regret it.”
As expected of a young man, he could say such irresponsible words.
Li Qianxue pushed him away, and stood up from the chair. “I’ve accepted the gift, and I’ve also accepted the flowers. I thank you. But I still have some business to attend to, so I’ll have to trouble Mr. Wei to leave first. After all, if you don’t leave, it’ll be my turn to regret it.”
“Qianxue?”
“I really have something on. Can you leave now?”
“You’ve received my gifts and my flowers. Can’t you at least have a meal with me?”
“I can’t today.” She had a lot of work to do. Although she wasn’t in a hurry, it was Yuxin’s birthday next week.
In the past, no matter where she was or how busy she was, she would always accompany her two children to celebrate their birthdays. Every year, she would hold a party for the two children’s birthdays.
This year, Yuxin was studying outside. He was studying for two degrees at the same time. She didn’t want him to be too tired, so she decided to fly to the imperial capital to visit him.
However, she didn’t want to tell Wei Ting about this because she really didn’t want Wei Ting to follow her on a whim.
“Qian Xue.” Wei Ting was really aggrieved. “You just don’t want to give me a chance.”
“Yes, I just don’t want to give you a chance, so don’t waste your time on me.”
As soon as Wei Ting got off the plane today, he ran over excitedly to look for Li Qianxue. He didn’t expect to get such an outcome.
No matter what, he was still a man. At this moment, he felt a little embarrassed. After looking at Li Qianxue for a long time, he was the last one to turn around and leave quickly.
After he left, Li Qianxue shook her head. A young man was indeed a young man.
His emotions were reflected on his face. He smiled when he was happy, and his face was cold when he was unhappy. It was so good to be young.
..
In the North District, everything was proceeding in an orderly manner. The approval procedures were surprisingly smooth because President Chen and Li Junsheng were there.
For such a large project, the construction ceremony had to be picked on a good day. Li Qianxue didn’t interfere too much in these matters.
Yang Rong brought over the dates set by Tianyu Group and Su Chenghui’s company.
One of them was set by Tianyu Group, which happened to be the two days around Su Yuxin’s birthday. Li Qianxue crossed out this date. She picked a week after Su Yuxin’s birthday for the groundbreaking ceremony.
She asked Yang Rong to book a plane ticket for her while she arranged all the work on her hands. She planned to take a few days off to spend time with her son.
To be serious, ever since Su Qingsang came back, her attention was mostly on her daughter. She had neglected her son a lot in the past year.
Li Qianxue couldn’t sit still when she thought about it. She bought a lot of gifts in Lin City. Then, two days before Su Yuxin’s birthday, she boarded a plane to visit Su Yuxin.
Su Yuxin had been in university for a year. The imperial university required students to live on campus during the first year, but they could choose whether or not to live on campus afterwards.
With the Li family’s financial resources, Li Qianxue wouldn’t let her son live in the dormitory with others.
She had already bought a house near the imperial university to make it convenient for Su Yuxin to go to school. She also hired a special nanny to take care of him.
After getting off the plane, the car that was arranged beforehand sent her directly to Su Yuxin’s apartment.
Li Qianxue took the keys that her son had prepared before returning to Lin City and entered the door. She didn’t expect to see a person who shouldn’t be here in her son’s apartment.
