But Ji Chu just put down the coffee cup. A fierce light flashed in his dark eyes.
“Don’t think you can really cover the sky with one hand.”
Qu Yiming met his gaze with disdain, but subconsciously changed the subject, “You’re about to divorce Shen Shutong, and you’re still helping her? Wouldn’t anyone with any courage have kicked her out?”
His mother was right. This man was truly unassuming, yet his aura was more powerful than that of any of his peers he had met. He was a little puzzled by his thoughts.
But Ji Chu only had a small, shabby company, wasn’t he?
Where did his arrogance come from?
Qu Yiming continued to provoke Ji Chu by knocking on the table.
“Have you forgotten that she wanted to divorce you several times in order to be with me legitimately?”
However, Ji Chu seemed to be invulnerable and retorted with his words, “Any man with any guts wouldn’t use his power to ban a small designer, nor would he direct and act in a good show for the netizens to watch.”
“Ji Chu!” Qu Yiming stood up angrily.
So Ji Chu still had feelings for Shen Shutong, which was why he was willing to be her pawn after she filed for divorce.
What else could he say now except calling him a ‘suck-up’?
“Do you really think you can trip me up with just a video and a few chat logs? Do you believe I can turn your small company into mine?”
“You can ask Mrs. Qu what she means first.”
“…” Qu Yiming was suddenly speechless, with thousands of horses galloping in his heart.
He was badly scolded online, and his mother had also been scolding him since last night. How could he dare to offend her again!
“You’re here to apologize, right? You can apologize to me, but don’t harass her.”
Ji Chu’s voice became increasingly low, and finally, he took on a faint warning tone as he spoke word by word, “Stay away from her from now on.”
“Ji Chu, you are really good. Just wait and see.”
Qu Yiming originally came here just to check out Ji Chu, but now he has seen him for himself.
Shutong watched Qu Yiming leave angrily. After a while, her eyes passed through the gaps between the green plants and looked in the direction of Ji Chu. She blinked away the moisture in her eyes.
Ji Chu was still sitting in his seat in a daze, his eyes lowered to the mug. It was unknown what he was thinking about, and the corners of his mouth were tightly pursed.
Shutong rarely saw him like this, because Ji Chu in front of her was always strong and omnipotent. Even if he had a cold face, his eyes would reveal a familiar tenderness, which was his charm that she could not resist.
Even though he was bullied by her, he still honestly helped her solve the problem.
[Host’s destiny modification progress: 2%!]
[Host, please pay attention!]
This was tantamount to reminding Shutong that she was about to die.
“System, according to the current plot, use your algorithm to calculate what will happen to Ji Chu in the end?” Shutong murmured, as if she had some kind of premonition.
Ji Chu attracted all the hero’s firepower. Wasn’t this simply courting death?
[He will die.] The system also told the truth.
However, Shutong suddenly raised her lips and said, “Then, let’s cherish the last moments.”
System: […]
Just as Ji Chu was about to get up and leave, a slender figure approached.
Even if he didn’t look over, his peripheral vision was enough to recognize the person.
He leaned back on the rattan chair and glanced sideways slowly, “How did you find me?”
“Follow you.”
Shutong sat down next to him, picked up his unfinished coffee, and took a sip.
The bitterness was tinged with a hint of sweetness, but she still frowned, smacked her lips, and said, “Why not add milk or sugar?”
Ji Chu’s gaze was fixed on her profile from beginning to end, and he paused when he heard the words.
After a moment, he glanced at the cup with her lip prints on it and said, “Because you are not here.”
But after he finished speaking, he withdrew his gaze, as if he wanted to take back what he had just said.
Since she started college, he would either accompany her to the library or to a cafe, where they could sit together all day. She always wanted her coffee to be milky and sweet, and he would drink it with her.
In fact, he preferred the bitterness of coffee because it kept him alert.
