The clouds were fluttering, and the beam of light from the window hit the side of Li Jingchen's face. There was a lingering sense of brokenness in the corners of his red eyes and on the cold white cheeks.
Su Shengsheng's throat moved and she said nothing.
The two of them finished eating noodles in a strange atmosphere. The sun was gradually setting in the west. Su Shengsheng's ankle was only slightly sprained, but she had recovered.
"Shall I take you back to Dihao?" Li Jingchen asked outside the noodle shop.
"No," Su Shengsheng refused, "Secretary Lin is waiting for me outside."
"Um."
The two of them were talking as they walked out. The crowds in the snack street in the evening were much less than during the day. Su Shengsheng walked with her head down, and out of the corner of her eye she saw Li Jingchen almost invisibly separating the crowd for her.
His expression remained unchanged, he had always been calm, restrained and unattainable, indifferent and distant, but Su Shengsheng still felt that something was different about him.
"Miss."
"Mr. Li."
Secretary Lin and Assistant Qin immediately opened the car door when they saw them, and she and Li Jingchen walked to their cars.
After Su Shengsheng got in the car, what he said today was still in her mind, and she was a little absent-minded.
"Miss, how did Mr. Li react after you agreed?" Secretary Lin asked.
The people in the back row looked out the window in a daze and did not answer.
"Miss, miss?" Secretary Lin called several times, but did not notice the traffic light change and braked in time to avoid violating the regulations.
The car stopped suddenly, and the inertia made Su Shengsheng's body shake, making her sober up.
"Miss?"
"What's wrong?" Su Shengsheng looked up.
Secretary Lin repeated patiently, "You agreed to dowry his fiancée in front of Mrs. Li. How will Mr. Li react?"
"Ah?" Su Shengsheng frowned and immediately relaxed, "It's broken, I forgot."
To be fair, apart from her estrangement towards Li Jingchen, there were only benefits to agreeing to his conditions.
"Let's talk about it, let me think about it." Su Shengsheng lay back irritably, "The previous feudal marriage contract has not been resolved yet, and a 'fake fiancé' has been created, which is troublesome."
Secretary Lin observed his lady's face in the rearview mirror, fearing that she would regret it, "Miss, the Kyoto account that contacted Fang Bowen and Zhou Kai may be related to Kyoto Wolf Star. The technology there is very high and it is not easy to track."
Su Shengsheng's ears twitched and she turned her head to listen to Secretary Lin continue.
"If it is true, you have to act quickly. Cooperating with Li Jingchen is our best choice."
"Anyway, it's just a show in front of Mrs. Li, and you don't really have any engagement. Besides, even if Mrs. Li falls in love with you, it won't be an easy matter if you take over the young master and the young lady."
Su Shengsheng raised her eyebrows slightly, "Miaomiao and Xiaokai know that Uncle Lin sees them this way. I wonder if they will be sad."
Secretary Lin immediately fell silent. Those two little ancestors were not ordinary naughty children. They were more intimidating than the adults who had been in power for a long time.
He wasn't kidding when he said they could figure it out.
Ordinary genius children will certainly surprise their parents, but they are still too talented. That is to say, people like me and my lady who have seen big storms can bear it.
The Li family probably wouldn't dare accept such two unrelated, incredibly intelligent children without an heir.
Su Shengsheng couldn't help laughing when she saw Secretary Lin shut up, "They are both cute and well-behaved, how can you be so scared. Okay, I won't tell them."
"Thank you, Miss!" Secretary Lin almost burst into tears.
Su Shengsheng leaned back in her chair, took out her mobile phone, looked at the daytime surveillance of the kindergarten, confirmed that the two little guys were still alive and kicking, and stuffed it back into her pocket.
The matter in Yuncheng really needs to be resolved as soon as possible. Her babies are still waiting for her to return.
The street lights outside the window turned on, and she took out her mobile phone, intending to send a message to Li Jingchen. As soon as she moved her fingers twice, she heard Secretary Lin casually say,
"The road to the Internet celebrity attraction is too congested, and I haven't driven out for so long. Mr. Li seems to have a business bureau, and it's still stuck behind us. I don't know if we can catch up."
Su Shengsheng paused with her fingers and looked back, just in time to see Li Jingchen's black business car. She also observed the crowding in front and back, and found that they would definitely not be able to move within ten minutes.
She simply put down her phone, opened the car door, and walked back to make the notification in person more direct.
Li Jingchen did have a business bureau, but he was the core of the bureau and was not in a hurry. He only rubbed the lotus jade pendant in his hand and listened to Assistant Qin's report on grandma's ultimatum.
Dong dong dong——
Someone knocked on the car window,
Li Jingchen raised his eyes and glanced, covered the lotus jade pendant with his backhand, and then lowered the window, "Miss Su, what's the matter?"
"I..." Su Shengsheng just said a word, her eyes glanced at the light blue preparation edge exposed in Li Jingchen's hand, and she frowned subconsciously.
Looks so familiar!
The conversation changed, "I have something I want to talk to Mr. Li about."
"about what?"
"About our engagement."
Li Jingchen just thought that she had thought about it, and with a movement of his eyebrows, he motioned for her to get in the car, and pressed the button to raise the fenders for the front seats.
Su Shengsheng strode around to the other side, opened the door and got in the car.
Li Jingchen felt a gust of wind from his palm sliding past him, right in front of his face. His instinct flashed and he stretched out his hand to clamp the woman's wrist bone.
The man's hand was feinting, but the other hand was trying to grab what was in his hand. The woman was not bad at it. Although her strength was not as strong as his, her attack speed was extremely fast.
He was a little weak with one hand,
Li Jingchen reacted quickly, turned around and stuffed the jade pendant into his suit pocket, then turned around and received Su Shengsheng's punch.
In the cramped back seat, there was a loud banging sound, which made Assistant Qin’s eyebrows jump in the front row.
Didn't Miss Su agree to pretend to be Mr. Li's fiancée in front of the old lady?
How does this sound sound like...a fake act?
She is indeed obsessed with Mr. Li!
But the boss didn't say anything to tell him what to do. Assistant Qin's fingers were clasped on the steering wheel, and he didn't know whether he should help or not.
After more than twenty minutes, the car slowly left the congested area, and the back row seemed to become quiet.
Assistant Qin closed his eyes and thought to himself, "I didn't hear anything, I didn't hear anything." '
'I didn't know that Mr. Li was over in more than 20 minutes, I didn't know. '
In the back of the commercial car, two people were sitting on both sides of the business car, panting. The lotus jade pendant was still lying safely in Li Jingchen's pocket.
Although Su Shengsheng didn't grab the jade pendant, she had already guessed the answer from his reaction.
For a moment I just felt extremely ashamed and angry, it was such a shame and humiliation!
She had tried her best to get out of the feudal marriage contract since she was a child, and she was self-righteous and cautious, but in the end she fell into the trap.
"Zheng Sili?" She said sarcastically, "Is it so hard to use the word Li Jingchen?"
"Serena?" The streetlight passed over Li Jingchen's suit jacket and illuminated the car for a moment. "Miss Su's English name doesn't seem to be satisfactory to me either."
