Wen Dai ultimately didn’t get an answer from Su Zhengxing because Lin Qiao grabbed his hand first, interlocking their fingers.
“Miss Wen Dai, I don’t think there’s any need to report what happened between us to you, right?”
When Wen Dai saw that Su Zhengxing didn’t avoid her, she knew his attitude.
She smiled self-deprecatingly and said, “I understand.”
After Wen Dai left, Su Zhengxing glanced down at his hand, which was tightly grasped by Lin Qiao. She must have been nervous, as her palm was slightly sweaty.
The crisis was over. Lin Qiao noticed Su Zhengxing’s gaze, hurriedly let go of him, and took a step back.
“I’m sorry, Mr. Su. I didn’t mean anything else. I just…”
“Just what?” Su Zhengxing clenched his empty palms, as if he was still savoring the softness just now.
“I just thought you probably didn’t want to answer a question like that.”
This was a lie, because Lin Qiao felt that if he answered, it would definitely not be the answer she wanted to hear.
Su Zhengxing could hear her lies and see her loss, but he couldn’t respond. He was afraid that he would get trapped, and even more afraid that her love for him was just a lie to get closer to him.
Su Zhengxing gathered his thoughts and extended his hand to her, “Give it to me.”
“What?” Lin Qiao was puzzled.
“The ring Qin Shen gave you.”
“How did you know?”
Lin Qiao was shocked, but also felt guilty. She obediently took out the ring and put it in his hand.
“I gave you that… ring. Can you return that tie clip to me?”
It was three hundred yuan after all.
“Why did you buy the tie clip?” He took the ring back and asked casually.
Lin Qiao choked up and muttered softly, “It’s not for you anyway.”
Seeing this, Su Zhengxing curled the corners of his mouth imperceptibly.
After returning to the main table, Su Zhengxing threw the ring into Qin Shen’s hand.
“How did this ring end up in your hands?” Qin Shen asked with a questioning expression.
“I got it back for you.” Su Zhengxing said with a stern face.
“Why do you want it back? When did I ask you to get it back for me?” Qin Shen’s train of thought was a bit off.
“You told me you exchanged gifts of varying values with my assistant. Aren’t you hinting that I should get it back for you?” Su Zhengxing said matter-of-factly.
“When did I hint to you? Didn’t I tell you because you asked me what I was doing just now?” Qin Shen felt wronged but didn’t know how to explain himself.
Su Zhengxing stopped talking and ripped the tie clip off his necktie.
“I’ll return this tie clip for you.”
Qin Shen looked down at the tie on his chest that was suddenly empty.
“???”
…
After concluding her conversation with Su Zhengxing, Wen Dai wanted to leave immediately. When she reached the elevator, she turned back and searched every table, finally finding Cheng Ling under the Investment Department sign.
Cheng Ling was talking to a colleague with her back to her. Wen Dai picked up a glass of red wine on the table and poured it on her head.
Cheng Ling was caught off guard and had her head doused with water. She stood up in shock and anger and was about to explode, but she instantly wilted when she saw Wen Dai’s face.
“You know why I splashed you.” Her words were not a question, but an affirmation.
Wen Dai’s eyes held a warning.
“There’s a price to pay for using me.”
After she finished speaking, she turned the empty goblet upside down in front of Cheng Ling, clapped her hands, and left gracefully.
The people around her, unsure of what had happened, cast a variety of glances at Cheng Ling.
