Be reborn and be happy to the fullest

The person who appeared in front of Song Shuer was Li Shuo, and of course, he was accompanied by the charming and graceful Li Yanhua.

True to his nature, after tasting the bodybuilding model competition champion, Li Shuo took her shopping at a nearby luxury store. However, unlike Li Jianyi, he had already been shopping with Li Yanhua for a while, and the latter was already carrying a brand new bag.

While Song Shuer warmly greeted Li Shuo, her eyes were already fixed on Li Yanhua's bag. Her beautiful eyes sparkled, and she was more happy than worried. When Han Enqing asked her to come here, she told her that Li Shuo and Li Yanhua were here. At that time, she was actually quite unhappy, but Han Enqing then told her some things that made her look forward to seeing Li Shuo again.

Han Enqing said at the time, "...Although Li Yanhua is sexy and beautiful, I guess her status in the Boss's heart is probably not high. Even after receiving favor, her status is only equivalent to yours..."

"Well, that's a bit blunt, but you know, once a man has a woman, his feelings for her will skyrocket. In that case, you're already pretty good to be on par with Li Yanhua..."

"If you don't believe me, you can observe how many gifts Li Yanhua received after meeting the Boss. You've been by the Boss's side for a few days now, so you should be able to see just how generous the Boss is. If Li Yanhua only received a few gifts—like other men who only give one or two gifts—then it proves that she doesn't hold a high place in the Boss's heart."

In this situation, how could Song Shuer not be radiant with a smile when she saw Li Yanhua carrying a bag?!
However, to Li Jianyi, who was standing next to her, the smile was entirely for Li Shuo. His face instantly turned extremely ugly. But he had already crossed the line in front of Song Shuer all day. Although he was angry, he did not dare to say anything to Song Shuer. He only dared to stare at Li Shuo with a fierce look, as if he wanted to devour him.

However, Li Shuo completely ignored Li Jianyi. He had just accompanied Li Yanhua on a stroll through the shopping street, and this Chanel boutique was the last one they visited. As soon as they entered, Song Shuer approached them with a fawning expression. Under her enthusiastic greeting, Li Shuo asked with some surprise, "Miss Song, I didn't expect to run into you here. Where's Yunmei? Aren't you two together?"

"Yunmei wanted to rest and went home early. I wasn't too tired, so... um... I came to go shopping..." At the end, Song Shuer remembered that Li Jianyi was behind her, and she began to stammer.

Seeing this, Li Shuo narrowed his eyes and then saw Li Jianyi emerging from behind Song Shuer. This guy was quite cunning and noticed Song Shuer's hesitation. He greeted her with a smile: "President Li, good afternoon. Shuer is accompanying me shopping."

As he spoke, he reached out and grabbed Song Shuer's wrist.

Li Jianyi was "quite sensible," unlike before when he was self-satisfied. He only held hands, and even if they were just friends, he probably wouldn't refuse.

But to his utter surprise, the moment his fingers touched Song Shuer's skin, she darted towards Li Shuo as if electrocuted, and then looked at him, repeatedly explaining:

"President, no, it's not that. This guy keeps bothering me. I've rejected him many times. Besides, this isn't about going shopping with him; he insists on apologizing to me..."

"Oh? Then why did Li Jianyi apologize to you?"

Li Shuo asked casually, but his questioning tone and attitude implied that he regarded Song Shuer as a woman who was relatively close to him, or at least someone he was having an ambiguous relationship with.

This attitude was quite different from his previous behavior of being completely swayed by Li Yanhua and ignoring Song Shuer, so Song Shuer immediately sensed it! She was slightly taken aback, and in her heart she exclaimed, "As expected of someone from the secretary's office, Han Enqing's tricks are indeed effective!"
Song Shuer had no idea that she was "South Korea's future No. 1 model" and "super influencer," and was quite popular in Li Shuo's eyes, actually holding more weight than Xu Yunmei.

But Song Shuer knew that this level of stimulation was just right; she couldn't let the man think she was unfaithful, so she continued to explain, "President, it's like this, after we parted, I received a call from Choi Ji-woo. After all, she's a senior who mentored me in the industry for many years, and I couldn't refuse her invitation..."

First, Choi Ji-woo was dragged into the blame, saying she never expected to meet Lee Geon-ik. Then, Lee Geon-ik demanded an apology, threatening to harass her if she didn't. Left with no other choice, she could only deal with it...

This explanation cleared things up, and Li Shuo's expression softened. However, Li Jianyi, standing behind Song Shuer, kept turning pale and then purple.
Even after being tamed for half a day, Li Jianyi knew what it meant for "the goddess he was pursuing to be humble and subservient to other men." In other words, even if he eventually won her over and spent countless sums to book the most luxurious suite in a five-star hotel, ready to take her away that night, Song Shuer would still be summoned like a dog by a single phone call from Li Shuo...

"I'm sorry, Ms. Song, but logically speaking, I'm just the boss of the agency you're signed with, so I have no right to pry into your private life..."

These were Li Shuo's words, which instantly extinguished Li Jianyi's anger, who was about to explode: Oh, so he's just the boss. That's nothing. He's a pursuer, or even someone he's flirting with.

Song Shuer thought to herself: Han Enqing was right again. Boss is possessive and arrogant. After explaining, he immediately changed his expression, as if he didn't care at all.

She didn't care whether Li Jianyi exploded or not. Her original purpose in contacting him was to please Li Shuo. As long as she could attract Li Shuo's attention, everything would be worth it!
"Oh dear, look at what you're saying. Yunmei is my best friend. Given your relationship with Yunmei, it's okay for me to consider you a friend, right?" Song Shuer said somewhat reluctantly, but her tone was more like a coquettish plea. Li Shuo waved his hand and chuckled, "Haha, I didn't mean that. First, I was afraid people would misunderstand and affect your reputation. Second, even without Yunmei, we are still friends. There's no need to emphasize this to others."

He was never one to back down. Li Jianyi's presence by Song Shuer's side displeased him, so naturally he couldn't let Li Jianyi be happy. Therefore, even though he hadn't valued Song Shuer much before, his words at this moment sounded quite intimate.

Upon hearing this, Song Shuer's eyes lit up: This was exactly the effect she wanted!
"Hehe, really? I thought you were going to deliberately draw a line between yourself and others."

Seeing that Song Shuer's eyes were glued to Li Shuo while she spoke, Li Jianyi was naturally displeased. He coughed and interjected, "Shuer, we've picked out our things, let's hurry to the next store. I remember there are Burberry and Gucci in the shopping street..."

He knew he didn't hold much weight in Song Shuer's heart, so he deliberately used luxury brands to try and woo her.

However, in Song Shu'er's heart, Li Shuo was the greatest luxury. Before Li Jianyi could finish speaking, she impatiently interrupted, "Hey, what's the rush? Can't you see I've met a friend?"

"But he's Li Shuo! You were watching when we made that bet!"

Li Jianyi's hostility towards Li Shuo made him temporarily ignore the pressure from the goddess, and his blunt words, which tore off the last layer of pretense, made the atmosphere on the scene completely cold.

This is where Song Shuer's wit shines through. Having finally gained some attention from Li Shuo, she naturally doesn't want to ruin the situation. So, a clever idea strikes her. She first looks at Li Jianyi and says in a sharp voice, "Li Jianyi, it's precisely because you have a grudge against Li Shuo that I didn't accept your pursuit. Later, Cui Zhiyou promised that you just needed to explain things to me..."

"And now? Not only have you forced your way into my life, but you're also trying to ruin my relationship with my friends. Tell me, are you pursuing me because you like me, or because I'm friends with Li Shuo? What is your purpose?"

Amid Song Shuer's questioning, Li Shuo appeared thoughtful, only gradually understanding the "whole story" after hearing these words. Li Jianyi, on the other hand, looked visibly embarrassed, stammering as he explained, "That...it's not what you think, Shuer, please let me explain..."

"Don't call me Shu'er! Li Jianyi, I've corrected you many times. Please call me by my name!" Song Shu'er interrupted, then ignored Li Jianyi's reaction and turned to Li Shuo apologetically, "I'm sorry, President, I've made you laugh!"

As she spoke, she took out an elegantly packaged box from the bag that Li Jianyi had bought and handed it to Li Shuo: "This is a handbag I just bought. It's unisex and suitable for everyone. I'm giving it to you as my apology. Please accept it!"

"what?"

Looking at the exquisite gift box in front of him, Li Shuo blinked. Although this wasn't the first time a beautiful woman had given him a gift, it always seemed to bring a different feeling. Especially this time, it was obvious that Li Jianyi had sold this to Song Shuer, right?

Just as she was thinking this, Song Shuer turned to look at Li Jianyi: "This is something you just bought for me. Since it's a gift, I have the right to dispose of it, right?"

"Ah, this..."

If it were when Li Jianyi first met Song Shuer that afternoon, he could have retorted without hesitation, "I bought this for you, so I have the right to do with it." But now, fearing that Song Shuer would get angry again, he could only lower his head and smile timidly, "Since it's a gift for you, Shuer, you can do with it however you want..."

Still with a little scheming, she forced the name "Shu'er".

Having gotten the better deal, Song Shuer didn't dwell on it. She nodded indifferently and instructed, "Go wait for me outside the store... if you want to continue shopping with me!"

Seeing Li Jianyi's hesitant expression, he added the last sentence. (End of Chapter)
