Yin Qinghuan suddenly smiled lightly. She didn't know what her true strength was, but Yi Chen seemed to understand her very well.

"I want to see a real opponent."

Yi Chen only wanted to respect her real opponents. In her eyes, Joanne was not, but Yin Qinghuan was.

"I won't let myself get eliminated."

She did not directly respond to Yi Chen, but her words were more than enough to express her feelings.

Yi Chen nodded with a faint smile and took the initiative to extend her hand. Yin Qinghuan returned a smile and shook her hand. It was as if there was some sort of tacit understanding between them. Sometimes, opponents that deserved respect could also become friends.

This scene was seen by Joanne who was not far away. Her brows were furrowed and her eyes were cold. She could no longer fully trust the current Yin Qinghuan.

Initially, she thought that they were just putting on an act for Yichen to see. However, during this period of time, no matter what had happened, or the attitude of Yin Qinghuan, she felt that there was an insurmountable gap between them.

The night slowly fell.

Yin Qinghuan arrived at the entertainment venue at the agreed time. As soon as she got off the car, she saw a man and a woman at the entrance of the night sky.

It was just the beginning of nightlife, yet he was already so intoxicated by it?

Based on her last impression of the place, this time she wore a set of relatively conservative clothes. After entering, she heard the noisy music and felt a headache listening to it.

However, after passing through the hall and entering the private room, everything went silent.

Before he could reach room 305, his phone rang. It was Qi Yan Shang.

In front of him was room 305. It was exactly 8 o'clock, so he really knew how to pick the time.

Accept, or not accept?

Thinking of the elevator accident yesterday, although he was fine in the end, she … However, he didn't even ask a single concerned question. He only heard that Director Qi's arm was injured.

It was only a scratch, so it shouldn't be serious.

He didn't answer the call. Instead, he switched his phone to mute mode. After organizing his emotions, he walked to room 305 and symbolically knocked on the door.

Yin Qinghuan pushed open the door and entered. The private room was silent, but when she saw the person inside, the smile on her face clearly twitched.

What is happening...

"Who can tell her why Qi Yan Shang is here?!"

The man's thin and good-looking lips curled up into a smile. He slightly raised his eyebrows and shook the brown liquid in the cup. There was a hint of indecency in his laziness.

As for Chu Huai, he had a cold expression and his dark eyes were filled with a deep understanding.

She wanted to ask why he was here. However, Qi Yan Shang was the first to speak. She slowly lifted her lips and said, "So it turns out that Director Chu has an appointment with someone."

When Yin Qinghuan heard these words, she thought to herself, this isn't good. Could it be that she had fallen into a trap? The call Qi Yan had just made to her...

"I've indeed made an appointment, this is the wrong time for Director Qi to meet me tonight."

When Chu Huai said the two words "coincidentally", his voice became colder by a bit. Yin Qinghuan didn't quite understand, she only knew that she was here to discuss cooperation. But from the looks of it, could she leave now?

"If Director Chu doesn't have the time right now, we can talk about the cooperation case another time."

Just as she finished her sentence, Qi Yan Shang's slightly arrogant voice sounded with a hint of danger — —

"Another time? "Why bother? Just pretend I don't exist."

Yin Qinghuan: "…"

Such a big living person, how could he ignore it!

Chu Huai did not speak, he knew that meeting this Director Qi here tonight was definitely not as simple as a coincidence.

Ye Zichen looked at the woman, who was standing there motionlessly, with a deep look in his eyes. Did she think that he would do something to her, so she called him over?

Seeing Chu Huai's gaze, Yin Qinghuan understood what he was thinking. Please, if she knew Qi Yan Chamber of Commerce was here, she definitely wouldn't come.

Since there was no other way, he could only brace himself and walk over with a stiff smile. He then found a slightly tilted seat and sat down.

"Sitting so far away, how can we talk about cooperation?"

Qi Yanqi smirked as he wrapped his arm around the woman's waist and pulled her into his embrace.

Just like that, she slipped into Chu Huai's embrace like a kitten in front of him. Yin Qinghuan immediately felt embarrassed.

Her ears were filled with the man's cold breath and his teasing chuckle. She immediately understood what he wanted to do, so she bit her lip and didn't move recklessly.

"How about Director Qi comes over to discuss it himself?"

In any case, ST was his company. Since the other party was so sincere and it was because of the boss, she was very willing to abdicate and give up.

"Baby, this is your job."

This word 'baby' really disgusted her.

Of course, I wonder what Chu Huai would think when he heard this.

Yin Qinghuan knew that Qi Yan Shang did this on purpose, so she restrained her anger and chose to ignore this man. She turned to Chu Huai and took out the document in her bag.

"Boss Chu, regarding this cooperation with the Chu Clan, the jewelry that we are willing to provide is when ST was just established five years ago …"

As she spoke, her body slightly trembled. It was because someone's fingers were on her back, meandering down, and they landed on her slender waist. They were constantly teasing her, so she didn't want to go too far!

How could Chu Huai not see the strangeness of a woman? He gulped down a mouthful of wine, stood up and sneered: "Now that I think about it, there are still things that have yet to be dealt with. Next time, we'll set another time."

Yin Qinghuan froze and did not reply. She just saw Chu Huai's figure leaving straight away.

She only reached out her hands to push away the hand tied around Qi Yan Shang's waist to keep a safe distance from him when the door of the private box slammed shut.

"You …"

She was really angry. Was playing with her this funny?

As for Qi Yanzhi, his thin lips curled up and his eyebrows arched slightly.

"The one you love has left, that's why you're so embarrassed, huh?"

"Boring."

Yin Qinghuan hadn't realized that this man had so many wicked interests in the past. He was actually so bored. He threw the documents in his hands into his arms and asked snappily, "Actually, you don't want ST to work with the Chu Clan, right?"

Qi Yanqi was not angered by her hostile attitude. Instead, his smile deepened as he said, "I'm just bored and messing around with you."

"I don't have time to play with you …" Right now, she only wanted to go back and hurry up with the draft design. She didn't want to lose to the second assessment next week.

As soon as he stood up, he was grabbed by the wrist and fell back into his arms.

This time, his posture was even more ambiguous. He turned his body and his tall body pressed forward, imprisoning her in a small space on the sofa.

A unique masculine scent wafted onto the skin around her neck, causing her to feel a warm and itchy sensation. She moved her shoulders, not liking his sudden outburst.

"Qi Yan Shang, you're so heavy."

In fact, he didn't even press her down at all. The man had his arm by his side, so when he heard her say this, his hoarse voice had a hint of feminine gentleness to it.

"Why didn't you pick up the phone just now?"

"What's the difference?"

Anyway, he was here waiting for her.

"It doesn't make any difference if you get caught, huh?"

Yin Qinghuan: "…"

Gouge?

She clearly came here for no reason to discuss cooperation with Chu Huai, not …

Covering the anger that had been suppressed in her heart, the woman suddenly sneered and asked the man close by: "Chu Huai is my adulterer, then who do you think you are?"

The meaning behind his words was, wasn't my adulterer also Director Qi?

"Besides, we are not husband and wife, so I want to give you a green hat. The law doesn't allow it."

"You're right, you are indeed not qualified."

The man's bony fingers gripped her lower jaw and he cast a sidelong glance at her clothes. He was quite conservative.

"Did you wear this here before?"

Yin Qinghuan was a frequent visitor of the night. She had gotten to know her friends since high school and had never left her place of entertainment ever since she had stepped foot into it.

Until after she committed suicide for Chu Huai …

Her "friends", with the exception of Joanne, were cut off.

At first, drunk men would call her at night and tell her, "Darling, Queen, I miss you …" She had developed a good habit of turning off her phone at night, when she went to bed.

Over the course of a month, those people would no longer harass her.

Seeing that the person in his arms was lost in his own thoughts, Qi Yan Shang lifted her lower jaw, forcing her eyes to see that he was the only one there.

"Speak, is that layer of film patched up?"

Yin Qinghuan: "…"

Speaking of which, she hesitated for a few seconds.

In the end, her answer was — —

"I don't know."

Who knew what Yin Qinghuan had done in the past? Anyway, it really hurt that night. He definitely had to suspect, but she had no way to explain.

Clearly, she had given the most incorrect answer.

I don't know. Qi Yanzhong narrowed his eyes. This answer was quite novel. Did he make it up to her that he didn't know?

"I have to go back."

She reached out to push him on his chest, but he just turned a deaf ear to her, coldly looking for her red lips.

As her lips moved and turned, their auras fused together. Yin Qinghuan had never been able to see through this man.

He was the one who was playing with her, she did not believe that this collaboration with the Chu Clan was Gu Wenliu's idea.

His fingers undid the buttons on her collar. The woman, who had not responded at all, flapped her eyelashes when she felt the chill and quickly pressed down on his arm.

However, when she touched the bruised wound, the woman's gaze trembled slightly as her gaze landed on the wound.

Even though it was only a scratch, the wound on his arm was so deep that it hurt just by looking at it.

Didn't you all bandage it up with medicine? Not afraid of tetanus.

Seeing the dejection in her eyes, Qi Yanqi gave a faint smile and asked if she felt sorry for him.

When the woman heard this, she retracted her gaze and looked away. Shaking her head, she denied, "No, why should I feel heartache?"

She wouldn't feel heartache for him.

In the past, he'd never seen him feel heartache for her.

"If you were the one who first left and I was the one who was injured, would it have hurt your heart?"

The same question, she could ask him for an answer.

He believed that his answer was the same as hers, right?

However, Qi Yanqi remained silent as he stared into the bright eyes of the woman in his arms. These eyes were always tainted with a lot of emotions … He couldn't see through it, but he felt a sense of familiarity.

Why familiar, why … She only said that if it was the case, he would be moved.

"Qi Yan Shang, we're just having a sexual relationship, aren't we?"
