Cry louder, I can't hear you.

Yun Qiao was slightly taken aback and turned around to look.

But his eyes met Li Ruoyan's dark and forlorn gaze.

What are you doing here?

Amy quickly recognized Li Ruoyan and explained on her behalf first:

"Ethan mentioned this morning that the company is preparing to discuss cooperation with Li Ruoyan."

Yun Qiao frowned. "Who made this decision?"

What a coincidence, suddenly seeking cooperation with Li Ruoyan at this time?

However, Shen's business is mainly in the heavy industry sector. The only slightly more leisure and entertainment-related business is that its subsidiaries have changed from real estate to resorts.

Could it be that Li Ruoyan is going to be the spokesperson for the resort?

Are you kidding me?

"Yunqiao".

Li Ruoyan spoke softly and called her name.

For some reason, the atmosphere at the scene suddenly became somewhat strange because of his words.

Amy looked at the way Li Ruoyan was looking at Yun Qiao, and remembered the trending topic that had gone viral last night, and a strange feeling arose in her heart.

Are Li Ruoyan and Yun Qiao really just friends?

Why is he looking at Yun Qiao like that?

Isn't that a bit too sentimental?

Or is it because he has a pair of captivating eyes that he looks at everyone with such affection?

But that's impossible.

Although she doesn't pay much attention to the entertainment industry, she vaguely remembers that Li Ruoyan acted in a drama a couple of years ago. At that time, his gaze towards the actresses was too wooden and lacked any affection, causing the audience to lose immersion in the drama.

He's been criticized so much that he's become a public figure.

People say he's a bad actor, and if he wants to sing, he should just sing properly and not try to cross over into other fields.

His fans clarified that he naturally has a cold look in his eyes.

But Amy looked at Li Ruoyan now, and she didn't seem world-weary at all. Instead, she looked quite affectionate.

"Are you here to see Shen Suwei?" Yun Qiao asked.

Li Ruoyan nodded, "Mm."

He paused, then said, "You..."

He glanced at Yun Qiao, then hesitated, as if he wanted to say something but couldn't.

I want to ask her if it's true or false that she just said she's leaving the company to go back and prepare for her wedding.

But he quickly realized that this was the Shen family's residence, surrounded by people, and he couldn't afford to cause any trouble...

Shen Suwei took the initiative to send someone to contact his company, saying he wanted to cooperate.

He didn't actually want to come, but the company said it was the best way to clarify things and forced him to.

"I have work to do, I'll be going now."

"Okay." Yun Qiao nodded.

In the end, Li Ruoyan didn't ask anything.

He led his men straight toward the president's office.

Actually, he was afraid that Yun Qiao would answer "yes".

Although I had mentally prepared myself and decided not to attend the wedding.

But he still couldn't accept that Yunqiao was going to marry someone else...

……

After Li Ruoyan left, Yun Qiao and Amy quickly returned to their workstations.

Yun Qiao glanced at the office with the door slightly ajar; it seemed no one was inside.

Seeing that she kept looking, Nina kindly came over to remind her:

"The boss is still in a meeting."

Yun Qiao understood.

It seems he's having a meeting with Li Ruoyan.

She was just about to ask Nina's company how they planned to collaborate with Li Ruoyan.

Turning her gaze, she saw Ethan walking towards her workstation.

"Yunqiao, the boss wants you to attend a meeting."

Upon hearing this, everyone looked away from their computer screens and secretly glanced at Yun Qiao.

Yun Qiao frowned, a bad feeling creeping into her heart.

But Ethan was still looking at her, so she could only stand up and follow him to the conference room.

This was her first time entering the conference room.

The door opened, and Shen Suwei sat at the front of the long table. Li Ruoyan and her team sat to Shen Suwei's right, and Ethan, who had just called her over, sat in the second seat to Shen Suwei's left.

Everyone looked towards her at the doorway upon hearing the sound.

Yun Qiao felt as if she were being pricked by thorns.

Even though she hadn't done anything today, she still felt guilty.

"Mr. Shen, you called me?"

Shen Suwei smiled gently at her, "Come here."

Yun Qiao: "..." Is this person's brain...?

This isn't normal.

Despite her inner complaints, Yun Qiao still walked towards him.

At his suggestion, I sat in the first seat on his left.

I happened to be face to face with Li Ruoyan.

Yun Qiao: "..." She seriously suspected that Shen Suwei did it on purpose.

She lowered her eyes slightly, avoiding looking at Li Ruoyan or Shen Suwei, trying to minimize her presence.

But someone was determined to prevent her from having her way.

Shen Suwei reached out and gently brushed a stray hair from her cheek, his voice tender:

"I called you over so you could talk to Mr. Li about what kind of style we want for our wedding march."

Yun Qiao: "?"

Putting aside when they announced their wedding, isn't the Wedding March a classic piece of music? Why did they have to ask Li Ruoyan for it?

"I heard that Mr. Li is a great talent with excellent creative abilities. It would be amazing if he arranged the music for us and played it at the wedding."

Shen Suwei smiled, staring intently at Yun Qiao. "Right, Qiao Qiao?"

Although her tone was gentle and she even praised Li Ruoyan, Yun Qiao could still detect the deliberate intent and humiliation in her voice.

She glanced at Li Ruoyan with some concern.

Li Ruoyan's face was indeed deathly pale and looked extremely unpleasant.

Yun Qiao felt a little sad; Li Ruoyan could have avoided all of this.

It's all because of her...

But she didn't understand. The system clearly said that after she subjected Li Ruoyan to a cold and abusive treatment, Li Ruoyan would see her true colors and fall in love with the kind and beautiful female protagonist.

Even though something unexpected happened, she didn't die.

But she and Li Ruoyan had no contact at all during those four years.

Why does he still like her?

He knew perfectly well that she wasn't a good person...

"go out."

Shen Suwei suddenly spoke in a cold voice.

Everyone was startled.

They all looked at Shen Suwei with a mixture of confusion and trepidation, at his sudden change in expression.

Yun Qiao also looked away and turned to look at him.

Shen Suwei's eyes were calm, revealing no emotion.

But anyone with eyes could see that he was very unhappy.

"Now, everyone get out." He repeated in a low voice.

Although everyone was puzzled, they still got up.

Just as Yun Qiao was about to get up and leave with everyone, Shen Suwei looked at her:

"Yun Qiao, stay."

Li Ruoyan paused in her act of getting up and suddenly looked at Yun Qiao.

This was the first time he had seen Yun Qiao since she came in.

Yun Qiao also subconsciously looked at him. She knew that with Li Ruoyan's personality, he must be worried about her.

She just wanted to give him a look to put his mind at ease.

Unexpectedly, for some unknown reason, Shen Suwei suddenly went berserk, his voice becoming even deeper:

"Get out of here immediately."

The indoor air pressure was lower than ever before.

Ethan practically took off running.

Li Ruoyan didn't want to leave, but his agent and assistant forcibly pulled him away from his side.

The door closed, and instantly only Shen Suwei and Yun Qiao remained in the room.

Yun Qiao was a little scared.

She couldn't even use her usual coquettishness anymore.

She looked at Shen Suwei cautiously: "You have something to say—"

"Come here," he interrupted in a low voice.

His tone was somewhat low, as if he was suppressing something.

Yun Qiao hesitated for a moment, then walked towards him.

"Sit on my lap."

Yun Qiao frowned and subconsciously glanced around at the doorway.

I mean, this is a public place.

But Shen Suwei suddenly grabbed her hand, put his other arm around her waist, and lifted her up, instantly placing her on the conference table in front of him.

She gasped in surprise, and before she could speak, Shen Suwei grabbed the back of her neck, forcing her to look down at him.

"Baby, you love me, right?"

The voice was low and slow, carrying a sinister gentleness.

Yun Qiao's breath almost stopped; she swallowed hard, her eyelashes trembling slightly.

"I...of course I love you."

Wait four more days, maybe in four days she'll be free...

"If you love me, then kiss me now."
