After a long while, Shen Ling's chaotic breathing finally calmed down. He let go of the woman in his embrace, extended his hand and with a "pa" sound, turned on the switch at the side, and the entire room was instantly illuminated by the warm yellow light.
After getting used to the light in the room, he looked at the woman's face. He almost didn't dare to look at her left cheek. Every time he saw the fingerprint, his heart would ache so much that he couldn't breathe.
His eyes were almost popping out of their sockets as he ran like crazy. Finally, at the last moment, he caught hold of her body, preventing her from hitting the ground.
The pressure of self-blame in his heart made him unable to breathe. The pain he felt for her also cut into his heart, causing him to not dare to look at her or speak to her along the way.
Su Qiu looked at his own reflection in the man's eyes. His eyes were filled with the prelude to a storm, but he was trying his best to restrain it.
"I didn't react." She sighed and explained the reason, which was also the truth. At that time, she truly did not have the ability to react, how could she have expected that Su Xia would not hesitate to tear off her noble and learned image, in front of so many people.
"I finally understood why I didn't hit him back." He didn't know why he had to ask, but he knew that if he didn't get an explanation, he would definitely explode.
"Because you're already here." She looked him straight in the eye and said what she really thought.
She did want to call him back, but he was already there, and she suddenly wanted to gamble, to see who he would stand on, to see if he would help her, to see how low she was in his heart.
At that moment, it was the easiest chance to see through his true feelings.
She admitted that she was very ugly in that moment.
But she won the bet.
Shen Ling was obviously stunned by her words. He looked at her face in a daze, not knowing what she actually meant.
She chuckled, "You're here. And didn't you already do the most beautiful counterattack for me? Isn't that much better than fighting back?"
She didn't think that she would have such thoughts about what he had done.
A happy feeling flowed into his heart. Suddenly, he smiled, and his smile was very doting. He was like a fool staring at something he liked, so gentle that it almost melted her heart.
She could not stand his gaze the most. Her face flushed, and she lowered her head.
"In the future, if this happens again, just call me back. With my backing, what's there to be afraid of?" Shen Ling lifted her chin with one hand, allowing her to look straight at him as he arrogantly and arrogantly instructed.
Shen Ling's woman, had only ever bullied others, how could she be bullied by others? With him coaxing her and helping her cover her back, he didn't care even if she walked sideways.
If anyone dared to object, he would immediately make them disappear.
Su Qiu looked at the man who looked down at him, and suddenly felt that the plot in the novel that He Cancan had been talking about everyday seemed to be the current situation.
He was like the CEO's little lover that was covered up by the arrogant and domineering arbitration Shen Ling. From then on, he could walk on his domineering, extravagant life.
"Hahaha." She suddenly started laughing so hard that her tears almost fell out of her eyes due to the spasming pain on her face. However, she was still unable to stop herself from smiling.
"What are you laughing at?" Shen Ling looked at the woman in front of him.
He thought that his actions and declaration just now were very cool. Logically speaking, all the girls should have been mesmerized by his handsome appearance, but why was this woman smiling?
He stared at her with a quizzical expression on his face.
"It's nothing, I just remembered the novel He Cancan told me about. I didn't expect it to really exist." Finally, she stopped smiling and explained while gently rubbing her face that was in so much pain from her smile.
"Tsk." The man threw her a disdainful look. He was so arrogant that he didn't seem like a domineering CEO.
Her smile became even more forced.
Just a moment ago, the two of them were still unable to catch their breath, as if their hearts were stuffed with cotton. After a short moment of talking, the haze in their hearts instantly vanished.
"The words I said on the stage today are not just for show," said Shen Ling as he leaned forward and lightly embraced the person in her arms after the farce was over. He was afraid that he would bump into her face and whisper in her ears, "I meant what I said."
Su Qiu's heart was moved, she was already shocked enough when she was on stage, now that she heard him specifically tell her again, the shock in her heart became even stronger.
"I know." She leaned into his arms and listened to his strong heartbeat beat in her ears, filling her heart with an extraordinary sense of relief.
Honest and fake, a woman's intuition was the most sensitive towards these things. It was almost immediately discernible.
"That's good." He had been worried that she suspected that he was putting on an act, but she actually believed him, which surprised him.
But after the accident, he felt a deep sense of satisfaction.
His two hearts seemed to be getting closer and closer to each other.
This feeling was really quite good.
On one side, the two of them got along naturally and comfortably, and while flirting and flirting was very enjoyable, the party on the other side was a completely different story.
