Li Zhiyuan got off the car and leaned against the door. The sun shone brightly on him, covering him in a glimmer of golden sunshine, making him appear charismatic.
"Qianshu, what a coincidence! We meet again."
"I believe you have placed a tracking device on me." Shen Qianshu scoffed. There was too much to dislike about him.
"If I had placed a tracking device on you, it's definitely because I can't wait to see you."
Shen Qianshu sighed quietly. The scariest thing is a cultured pursuer. Harassment can take several turns and sound charming.
"CEO Li, I have a boyfriend."
"Haven't you guys broken up already?"
"How did you know?" Shen Qianshu found it strange. The incident was not exposed, and only a few people knew about it. How did he know?
Li Zhiyuan said, "Tong Hua's disappearance alarmed the entire program crew, and Lin Xiaojuan explained everything to the company. Things like these can never be hidden for long. I wanted to send people to help you out, but I also found out that you are all safe and sound. Tong Hua also came for filming today."
Shen Qianshu felt awkward.
Li Zhiyuan said, "Qianshu, you have had so many boyfriends."
Shen Qianshu was speechless.
It was all for finding Tong Hua a father these few years.
Speaking about it, she felt that it was pretty heart-wrenching.
"You don't quite have a good taste." Li Zhiyuan came to a conclusion.
For some reason, Shen Qianshu felt like that sounded very familiar. Ye Ling just said that recently; now, another one is saying I have bad taste?
Is the world trying to test my patience?
"Luckily, I fell for you and not the other way around. That makes me feel slightly better." Li Zhiyuan added.
Shen Qianshu was speechless.
Prince Li, can you play by the rules and not be so unpredictable?
She did not know how to handle unpredictable situations like this.
"Qianshu, since you're single again, can I woo you?" Li Zhiyuan said.
"I have bad taste. I'm afraid I won't fall for you." Shen Qianshu scoffed.
Li Zhiyuan laughed lightly, loving her sense of humor. Looking dapper, he asked invitingly, "Dear Ms. Shen, the one with a bad taste in men, may I ask you out for a meal? Don't worry, I will make your taste in men better."
Shen Qianshu was speechless.
Shen Qianshu racked her brains to find the right words to reject the meal. All of a sudden, a BMW braked hastily, almost hitting Li Zhiyuan's Lamborghini. Yuan Hui and Gu Xiaoli got off the car, and Yuan Hui rushed to Shen Qianshu, pleading for help hurriedly. "Qianshu, help me. If you don't help me, I'll die."
"Oh, then go ahead." Shen Qianshu said and smiled.
Looking at the Yuan Huai pleading, she thought that she must have been blind in the past. Although she only dated for a few months, she knew him for a year. Either she was blind or Yuan Hui's acting skills were too good. She never saw such a pathetic look behind the elite.
Yuan Hui panicked, sweating profusely. He patted his chest to express his sincerity and said, "Qianshu, you can't leave me to die! I swear I will leave Gu Xiaoli and treat you right. It wasn't my idea to kidnap Tong Hua. Gu Xiaoli did it! It has nothing to do with me."
Shen Qianshu looked towards Gu Xiaoli, and Gu Xiaoli nodded repeatedly. "Qianshu, I'm the mastermind. I shouldn't have betrayed you with him, but love is uncontrollable. I know I've let you down, but as long as he's safe, I promise to leave him and wish the both of you well."
Gu Xiaoli spoke as if she could not help with loving him, but her eyes kept moving towards Li Zhiyuan in envy.
Why was Shen Qianshu always surrounded by talented men? Even without Yuan Hui, there is Li Zhiyuan. This man clearly looks like he is of high quality. The suit, the watch, the car… It's easy to realize that he's wealthy. He also looks charismatic.
Li Zhiyuan furrowed his eyebrows. He had met many people like him who were nice on the outside but terrible deep down.
Shen Qianshu laughed in anger. Gu Xiaoli made it sound as if Shen Qianshu was the third party who messed up other people's relationships. The approach of retreating before advancing was well-used, and it made Shen Qianshu seem like the vicious queen while Gu Xiaoli appeared to be Snow White.
What a joke!
"Gu Xiaoli, don't seem so sensible. I'm almost moved to tears. The two of you are truly in love, why retreat? I wish the best for both of you. I have broken up with Yuan Hui, so it's fine. The two of you can get rid of public nuisance for society when together. You guys have to stay loving for life. Don't cause trouble." Shen Qianshu hit the nail on the head with this answer, hitting Gu Xiaoli so hard that she almost raged.
"Qianshu, I swear, I will forever…"
"Stop degrading the purpose of promises. Do you know how much of a joke it is when people like you make promises?" Shen Qianshu looked at him coldly and continued. "Yuan Hui, you and I are over. From today, we go our separate ways. Stop pestering me."
"If you don't save me, I'll die…"
"You won't die. You have a house on the west side of the city. Sell it and repay your debts. You would still have two million left. You won't die."
Yuan Hui was startled. He explained hurriedly. "That belongs to my parents, and they can't sell it. They would first sell me…"
"Then just die." Shen Qianshu laughed coldly and stared at him. "Get rid of a public nuisance for society."
Yuan Hui looked at her, feeling slightly infuriated. But upon seeing Li Zhiyuan beside her, he appeared as if he had been cuckolded instantly. "Shen Qianshu, you have such a heart of stone that you would not save a dying man. Is it because you have climbed high? It's no wonder that you are not in the slightest bit upset when my affair was exposed. Seems like I was already cuckolded long ago."
Shen Qianshu stared at Yuan Hui, flabbergasted. Li Zhiyuan laughed. The expression in Shen Qianshu's eyes seemed as if she was showing concern to a mentally disabled child. It was funny.
"What are you laughing at?" Yuan Hui was so embarrassed he became angry.
Li Zhiyuan took a step forward and held Shen Qianshu by her waist. "Yuan Hui, huh? It's rare that you are so clever. Be a man. You are dumped. It's nothing to be ashamed of. If I were her, it'd be a miracle to be able to bear with you."
"You…"
Shen Qianshu facepalmed seeing Yuan Hui's chest heaving with suppressed rage. Li Zhiyuan looked at him coldly and said, "Stop pestering Qianshu."
Li Zhiyuan placed his arm around Shen Qianshu and brought her into the car.
Shen Qianshu stayed silent through the entire ride.
Li Zhiyuan looked at her from sideways, confused. Was she naturally so cold? Her boyfriend cheated on her, and she was dumped. The third party was her classmate. She did not even seem upset in the slightest bit. This puzzled him.
"You're aren't upset at all?"
"I was already sad yesterday," Shen Qianshu said calmly.
"It's a breakup. You're only sad for a day?" Li Zhiyuan looked at her and smiled. This little princess broke up and recovered from the sadness so quickly.
He did not think that Shen Qianshu was fickle in love. He thought that it was just because her feelings for Yuan Hui were not deep.
Yeah, like this.
"What else can I do? Wallow in self-pity?" Shen Qianshu propped her head and continued. "My feelings for Yuan Hui were never deep. I'm lucky to be able to see his true colors early. It is something worth celebrating for, not to be upset about."
"That makes perfect sense."
There was nothing wrong about that.
"CEO Li, I'm thankful for today."
"How about you stop calling me CEO Li? It makes me sound old."
"Prince Li."
Li Zhiyuan was speechless.
Whatever. At least it sounds better than CEO Li.
