Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, Li Mengqi secretly took a deep breath, picked up the microphone, and introduced it in a generous and appropriate manner, "Every year at this point, you will be very nervous, because this means that the biggest prize is coming. This award is an annual trendy entrepreneur award voted by the various leading economists, the media and the business sector. The winner is someone who has a lot of influence in the business world this year. Who would he be? "

She paused.

Everyone held their breath, and the audience was in complete silence.

"Next, we would like to invite young miss, Shadow Queen Shen Xingran, onto the stage to help us expose —"

The thunderous applause rang out, only to see Shen Xingran dressed in a bright red dress, her long skirt trailing along the ground, the thin material of her clothes revealing her slim curves, she was slowly walking over, like a proud queen, making people bow in worship towards her.

Below the stage, there were already people whistling. It seemed like Shen Mi's points were indeed everywhere. Even among the entrepreneurs, there were quite a few of them who were her fans.

Shen Xingran was extremely graceful as he waved to the audience, displaying the demeanor of a goddess.

Ever since she was young, she had had two dreams. First, when a goddess was worshipped by thousands of people, she was sought after everywhere. With her superior appearance and powerful family background, she had achieved it. Second, when she married Qi Junhao, she believed that as long as she worked hard, she would definitely be able to achieve it.

Thinking up to here, Shen Xingran subconsciously glanced at Li Mengqi who was standing in the center of the stage. A trace of anger quietly flashed through her almond-shaped eyes, and it quickly disappeared.

When she walked over to Li Mengqi's side, she discreetly nudged her with her elbow. Luckily, Li Mengqi had been careful not to let her get away.

Because they were both wearing high heels, Shen Xingran had originally planned to knock her down and humiliate Li Mengqi. Who knew that her plan would fail? This was truly depressing!

Shen Xin Ran cursed at Li Mengqi in his heart, but his face still had a smile plastered on it. He picked up the microphone on the stage and said gently: "Hello everyone, my heart is at peace with you. It's an honor to stand here and present. The next big prize mentioned by host Li also had a lot of weight. Then, which BOSS would receive this honor? Hehe, I believe everyone is just as nervous as I am and looking forward to it! You say that, right? "

Everyone laughed and clapped.

"En, this matter should not be delayed. We will immediately come to uncover the truth." After Shen Xingran finished speaking, he picked up the envelope that Li Mengqi handed to him. After opening it, he pretended to be shocked and said: "I didn't think that the person who won today had connections to my heart — —"

As she said this, she paused for a moment. Only when she saw the curious look in everyone's eyes did she finally call out in a loud and clear voice, "Invited President of Fenghua Corporation, Qi Junhao!"

When Shen Xingran uttered the words' Qi Junhao ', his words carried a trace of gentleness and gentleness. Anyone would be able to tell that she had a deep relationship with Qi Junhao.

Li Mengqi was standing next to her. Her expression darkened, and for some reason, her heart felt a bit stifled.

"Uncle, who is that woman? "So annoying!" Ye Zichen rolled his eyes, then snorted without giving any face.

"If you hate her, just ignore her!" Qi Junhao smiled and patted her head, "Uncle is going up on stage. Do you want to stay here as uncle, or let your father hug you?"

"Wait for uncle!" The little loli replied almost without thinking. She thought to herself, she didn't want to be a light bulb in the middle of her dad's mum.

Daddy always told her that Keke had to be independent and sleep on her own at night, not bothering Mommy, so that he could give her a younger brother to play with. But she had already waited for three years, and Mommy still hadn't given birth to a younger brother.

After Qi Junhao placed her in her seat, he adjusted his suit and stepped onto the stage gracefully.

"Clap clap clap clap —"

The applause came one after another. Many of the women in the audience gasped. They didn't expect the rumored interstellar CEO, Qi Junhao, to be so young and handsome. It seemed that a hero had emerged from the ancient times!

As he passed Li Mengqi, Qi Junhao glanced at her without a trace. Seeing her frown, as if she were unhappy, he suddenly remembered that she had suffered in New York and he had not been able to bring her back a single bit of justice. He could not help but feel sad, and a flash of guilt passed through his eyes.

"Congratulations. Grandfather will definitely be very happy to see it. "

Shen Xingran smiled sweetly, then handed the trophy to him with a familiar tone.

"Thank you!"

Based on politeness, Qi Junhao nodded slightly. As he accepted the trophy, Shen Xingran suddenly tiptoed and kissed him on the cheek when he wasn't paying attention.

"Clap clap clap —"

A wave of thunderous applause rang out, followed by an unending stream of whistles. It was clear that the crowd had caught the scent of the gossip, and they were all guessing what the origin that Shen Xingran had mentioned earlier was.

Upon seeing this, Li Mengqi's heart was instantly filled with panic, while Shen Xingran's was full of smiles, his mood extremely good.

Qi Junhao did not expect Shen Xingran to kiss him here either. His handsome face quickly turned gloomy, but due to his consideration of respecting the Assembly, he could only temporarily suppress the displeasure in his heart and calmly said a few words of thanks.

A luxurious ceremony came to an end with all sorts of thoughts.

As the world's most heavyweight awards ceremony, the organizing committee enjoyed a high international prestige, so when it sent invitations to entrepreneurs, it had requested that the guests be interviewed by the media.

Since Qi Junhao had agreed to participate, of course, he had to follow the rules. As a result, after the end of the conference, countless media outlets from both home and abroad were competing to interview each other.

"Young Master Qi, I believe that what the audience would like to know the most after tonight is what kind of relationship you have with Miss Shen. Would you mind sharing with us?" The reporter from the portal was the first to ask.

Although Qi Junhao scoffed at this question, he still calmly replied due to the politeness, "The Qi and Shen families are old friends!"

"Crack, crack, crack ~ ~"

Lights flashed, and someone asked at the right time, "It's said that the Qi and Shen families intend to marry each other, and Miss Shen is your fiancée. I wonder if the rumors are true?"

After that person finished speaking, the entire stadium quietened down, anticipating his answer.

Without a doubt, this was the question that everyone was most concerned about. After all, who wouldn't love gossips? Not to mention, one was a famous movie empress and the other was a business tycoon.

However, they had completely forgotten that the person standing in front of them was Qi Junhao. He was the one who was so domineering that no one was allowed to criticize him.

Qin Wentian's handsome face was soon covered in a layer of frost. The surrounding air instantly froze upon sensing his coldness.

At this moment, everyone suddenly understood. They seemed to have stepped on the line. However, there were still some reporters who were not afraid of death that repeated their earlier questions. When the others heard this, they all sucked in a breath and secretly felt nervous for him.

Qi Junhao's deep eyes were fixed on Lan Jue, his thin lips curled up into a smile, but it didn't reach his eyes.

"She's not my type!"

Shen Xin Ran stood in the corner, her heart broke into pieces when she heard those words. She ruthlessly gritted her teeth as her almond eyes emitted a strong hatred. Her long nails dug into her flesh, but she didn't know how painful it was …

Li Mengqi returned to the lounge and sat in front of the dressing table, absentmindedly taking off her makeup.

The scene of Song Xingran kissing Qi Junhao was still lingering in his mind, and he couldn't shake it off no matter how hard he tried. Although it was not inappropriate to kiss someone's face in such an occasion due to international etiquette, she just felt extremely uncomfortable.

Perhaps, she was too petty?

Li Mengqi forced a smile, and after removing all the rice grains on her face, she nimbly changed her clothes. After she had tidied everything up, his phone rang. She took a look and saw that it was indeed Qi Junhao.

"Is it done? I'll wait for you in the parking lot! " The man's voice was low on the radio, intoxicating.

Li Mengqi's heart went numb for a moment, but she quickly reacted and said, "Alright, I'll go now."

After hanging up, she walked out with her bag. However, she met Shen Xingran at the corner. He saw her standing there with her arms crossed. It was obvious that she was waiting for him.

"Mr. Li, isn't it great to be on the same boat?" Shen Xin Ran swept his hair with his hand as he smiled. His words were filled with mockery.

"I don't know what you're talking about!" This woman was good at acting. She had already suffered once, so she really did not want to see her again.

"Li Mengqi, stop pretending." Shen Xin Ran coldly snorted and then sent a picture to her phone, "Look, you'll know just by looking at your phone."

Li Mengqi looked down and actually saw that her phone had an unfamiliar number on it. Opening it, she saw that it was actually a photo of her and Lu Chenchen. Her posture was extremely bewitching. Presumably, it was taken in the afternoon, right? Sigh, she was speechless.

Thinking up to here, she smirked as she looked at Shen Xingran with a burning gaze. "Thank you, Miss Shen, for taking such a memorable photo for me. It was so beautiful."

"Hmph, how shameless. You cuddled with a man and you still have the nerve to go and touch my brother Ting. "Li Mengqi, if you know what's good for you, then leave him as soon as possible. Otherwise, your picture with the Moonlight God will definitely be published. When that time comes, you can just wait to be chased down by Lu Mi!"

"I'm sitting straight. You can do whatever you want." Li Mengqi ignored her threats, walked around her, and then walked out of the room.

"You will definitely regret it!" Shen Xingran stomped his feet in hatred. He subconsciously picked up his phone and sent a message. Upon seeing Li Mengqi's reply, a glint of killing intent flashed in her eyes, "Li Mengqi, you're the one who brought this all onto yourself!"

In the parking lot, a Rolls-Royce with its lights on was parked at the edge of the parking lot.

Qi Junhao sat in the back seat of the car. From far away, he could see Li Mengqi's slender figure slowly approaching. His eyes narrowed as he instructed the driver to open the automatic door and wait for her.

Li Mengqi quickly got on the car, and the door slammed shut.

When the car started up, Qi Junhao looked at his watch and asked, "Why so long? "Five minutes later than expected. Who did you see?"

If he hadn't known in advance that Lu Zhichen had left earlier, he really would have thought that the two of them had met in the past few minutes.

It had to be said that the Scorpio Scorpion was known for being sensitive and suspicious.

"When did you become such a bitch? "You don't even care about five minutes!" When she thought about how she had somehow attracted a white lotus flower because of him, and how this white lotus even tainted him tonight, Li Mengqi's heart was clogged up. Naturally, she didn't give him a nice look.

"What is it? Your anger is that strong? " Qi Junhao frowned as he leaned over, "Tell your brother, who bullied you?"

"Who else can bully me other than you?" Li Mengqi turned her head away, not wanting to look at him, "If you want to be big brother, go find Shen Xingran. She is calling you big brother Ting very affectionately. Yet you are still happily standing there enjoying your beautiful kiss? I hate you! "

As he listened to her blabber on and on about the vinegar, his gloomy mood suddenly turned extremely good. He laughed and lifted her chin, making her look directly at him, "Darling, I told you, vinegar is not allowed to be eaten anymore."

His slightly hoarse voice sounded even more enticing in this small carriage. Li Mengqi's heart trembled a few times, but she arrogantly waved his hand away, "That's right, you want to take away my right to be jealous?! Don't touch me, you're filthy. "

"Dirty?" The man raised his eyebrows, sighed, and admitted his mistake consciously. "Then I promise I won't let any animals get close to me, okay?"

Li Mengqi didn't think that he would actually compare Shen Xingran to an animal. She couldn't help laughing out loud. Her smile was like fireworks in the sky, dazzling and beautiful.

Qi Junhao's Adam's apple moved up and down, and he found it hard to control his emotions. He wanted to lower his head and kiss her, but she pushed him away, "No kissing allowed!"

Seeing this, a few black lines appeared on the man's forehead. He casually asked, "Then what do you need for me to kiss you and let me touch you?"

Her deep voice was filled with emotion, causing Li Mengqi to involuntarily blush.

She cursed herself in her heart. Then she took a packet of wet tissue out of her bag and ordered in a delicate voice, "Come here, disinfect."

"Disinfection?" Qi Junhao's eyes flashed, and a smile quickly appeared on his face. Li Mengqi did not stand on ceremony, she took out a wet towel, and rubbed it onto his face, especially the place where Shen Xingran had just kissed him. She used some brute force, and seeing that the man was extremely cooperative, she did not avoid him at all.

The bag of wet tissue was quickly used up. Li Mengqi held his handsome face, which had been completely disinfected by her, and carefully looked at it again. Then, she secretly sighed in her heart, 'Such an enchanter's looks, no wonder Shen Xinran wants to snatch it away from her!'

She wouldn't give him up to her no matter what!

"You can kiss me now, eh?" Qi Junhao didn't know what Li Mengqi was thinking. At this moment, all he was thinking about was that bright red little mouth of hers, wanting nothing more than to fiercely kiss her, and ask for her sweet fragrance to his heart's content.

Li Mengqi didn't answer, but smiled instead. Before Qi Junhao could do anything, she had already put his arms around his neck, and his soft body was snuggled into his embrace.

Qi Junhao was stunned for a moment, as if he had never expected her to throw himself into his arms. He hugged her tightly, and just as he was about to lower his head and grab his lips, she suddenly leaned over and kissed his exquisite chin, declaring his sovereignty, "This place is mine!"

"Alright, it's yours!" The man couldn't help but laugh. He suppressed the urge to kiss her and patiently waited for her to finish.

"Here, here..." All mine! "

Her lips were imprinted on his cheek, then his nose, eyebrows, eyes, forehead. After kissing him once, her clear eyes fell on his sexy lips, which were blushing a little. She wanted to kiss him, but now she felt shy and backed away.

"Why aren't you continuing, huh?" He smiled, a mischievous smile on his pretty face. "Isn't this yours?"

"Yes, of course it's mine." She snorted, a hint of mischievous shrewdness flashing through her eyes. Suddenly, she leaned close to his lips and licked it.

This little fellow actually dared to play with fire!

Qi Junhao's heart skipped a beat, before she could back down, he seized the initiative and kissed his deeply!

Christmas Eve, everywhere is full of strong smell of Christmas, even at 12 o'clock, the city is still brightly lit.

After the midnight snack, Qi Junhao instructed the driver to drive the car back to the hotel while he and Li Mengqi went for a walk on the riverside.

The couple road built by the river was over 30 kilometers long, and after a few years of refurbishment, it had become a beautiful scenery of Yangcheng. In the hearts of many couples, this path stretched as far as the eye could see. Rumor had it that as long as the two of them walked together, their relationship would be the same as this path, standing tall regardless of the changes in the world.

After walking only a few steps, Li Mengqi was tired from yelling and shamelessly made Qi Junhao carry his. Qi Junhao couldn't help but laugh, thinking to himself, "How come it's just like it used to be?"

"Are you carrying it?" Seeing that the man only smiled and didn't intend to carry her, Li Mengqi pouted her lips and stomped her feet. She looked especially arrogant and cute, but at the same time, she was also incredibly adorable.

"Back!" His mother rubbed her face dotingly, then turned and bent down. "Come up, Princess."

"Humph, that's more like it!" She didn't hold back. Her almond eyes narrowed into a line as she laid down.

The wind, somewhat cold, blew slowly from the river, bringing with it a fresh breath.

Li Mengqi leaned on his broad back, feeling an inexplicable sense of security, as if she was being assaulted by a familiar feeling. Before she could even react, she blurted out, "Qi Junhao, why do I feel like you've carried me on your back by the river before?"

The man stopped in his tracks. A hint of shock flashed across his eyes before he quickly regained his composure. He smiled gently and said, "Looks like this treasure is dreaming."

"Perhaps, it just feels very familiar." Li Mengqi nodded and muttered to herself.

"Did the baby like it?" He could not help but probe.

"Hmm? What do you like? " Li Mengqi was at a loss for words.

"If you like me, I'll carry you on my back!" After he finished speaking, he was faintly anticipating her answer, when he suddenly heard her loudly shout — —

"Wow, what a beautiful scenery. Qi Junhao, quickly let me down."

After Li Mengqi finished her sentence, she nimbly jumped to the ground and ran to the front.

The long white gravel of the couple's road, illuminated by the lights, glittered against the rippling surface of the river, easily intoxicating.

Qi Junhao stood there with his hands in his pockets, watching her happy smile, but his emotions were complicated.

Li Mengqi sprinted all the way back, but suddenly turned her head around, put her hands on her head, and shouted with a loving POSE, "Qi Junhao, I love you!"

At this moment, her eyebrows were curved, and every frown and smile was imprinted in his eyes, becoming the most beautiful scenery in the world. Many years later, whenever Qi Junhao thought of this scene, his memories would always be as clear as day. Her face was etched into his mind, like an imprint that would never be erased …

Qi Junhao was intoxicated. He felt as if he was in a dream, and had yet to wake up. He knew that after losing her memories, she had only himself in his heart. He either liked him or relied on him, but he had never expected that at this moment, she would say those three most sacred words.

"Qi Junhao, I love you —"

Li Mengqi ran further and further away as if she was addicted to shouting, and the more she shouted, the more excited she became. Fortunately, it was late at night and there was no one on the road.

Qi Junhao finally snapped out of his daze and recovered from the feeling he gave him. He ran towards her with long strides, wanting to hug her and kiss her, but his eyes were sharp when he noticed a small car speeding towards them from behind, causing him to tremble in fear.

"Be careful!"

In the nick of time, he rushed over and rolled on the ground with her in his arms, escaping this calamity.

The car that was in trouble did not stop. Instead, it sped up its speed and fled into the distance.

"How are you?" Qi Junhao hurriedly examined her, looking extremely anxious.

Li Mengqi was scared out of her wits by the scene just now. If he hadn't arrived in time, perhaps she would have …

In his mind, he suddenly recalled what the master told her when they were in H City that she would be in danger again in half a year. 'Originally, I thought I managed to avoid Qi Dingsen capturing me last time, but who would've thought that it would happen again today? Could it be that my bad luck isn't over yet? '

Thinking of this, Li Mengqi's heart sank. When she looked up and saw the worried look on Qi Junhao's face, her breathing quickened, and tears began to flow uncontrollably down her face.

"Where does it hurt?"

Because he was wearing thick clothes, he did not find out where she was injured. Seeing her cry, this time, his anxious mood became even more agitated.

"No, I'm fine!" But for you, it's very painful, right? "

Only then did Li Mengqi find out her own voice. Looking at the back of his hand that was scratched, she felt extremely regretful in her heart, "It's all my fault for being careless, which caused you to be injured."

If it wasn't for her looking at the road and running around, she wouldn't have implicated him.

"Idiot, it's fine." He touched her hand and made a slight smile with his lips. His eyes glanced in the direction the car had fled in, and his gaze instantly turned cold — —

Hopefully, this has nothing to do with the Shen family. Otherwise, don't blame him for disregarding his life saving grace!
