Stop Messing Around, Mr Bo!

Panda Novel

The forgotten topic rushed up as expected.

However, no matter what they said, Shang Qingmo didn't seem to care.

Shang Qiqi didn't pay attention to it.

In the following days, Shang Qiqi no longer stayed at home.

She went to the company to have lunch with Shang Qingmo. She even stayed in his office for the entire afternoon. The two of them got off work together. Sometimes, they would go to the restaurant for a meal. She would even watch a movie. Sometimes, she would go home.

It was grand and unconcealed.

Until she received a call from Song Yunshu.

Han Jiji asked to meet her almost every day. After hanging up on Song Yunshu, Shang Qiqi agreed.

She went shopping in the morning and bought a tie for Shang Qingmo. However, she couldn't help but wear a tie clip.

She and Han Jichi met at the restaurant on the top floor of the mall.

When Han Jichi saw her, Shang Qiqi heaved a sigh of relief.

She knew that Han Ji was still worried about her.

An indescribable sense of guilt welled up in her heart. She had originally felt that her heart was cold enough, but it had still broken.

The two of them ordered food, but they didn't eat much.

"No matter what, is this matter settled?"

Seeing that Shang Qiqi had stopped eating, Han Jichi went straight to the point.

Shang Qiqi's expression was calm. "No matter what happens in the end, Ji Chi, I'm sorry. The two of us… Forget it."

"You're very good. In the past, I really thought about our future. But now, I've let you down and I don't deserve your love. You're so good and deserve a better girl…"

"So what do you mean by no matter what happens in the end?"

Shang Qiqi paused.

"Didn't the two of you decide to be together now? In the end, the two of you will still be together. Why do you say that? Shang Qiqi, what are you thinking?"

Shang Qiqi looked at Han Jichi in a daze.

His attitude caught her off guard.

Han Jichi's face was cold, but it wasn't because she had dumped him for another man. In fact, he didn't seem to mind the humiliation she had indirectly brought him.

"You don't have to feel sorry for me. It's not like I can't let go. I like you. I've worked hard and given up in order to get you, so you didn't fall in love with me. Naturally, I won't feel sorry for myself. It's just a fruitless relationship. I'll get through it sooner or later."

If you didn't love me and stayed with me because of guilt or to avoid him, I don't think I would be really happy.

Although I don't mind now, I can't promise that I won't mind forever."

"On the other hand, what are you thinking?"

Shang Qiqi listened to him in a daze, her heart filled with gratitude.

However, she shook her head at his question. "No…"

"I thought that what I saw today would be a self-confident and happy person. But it seems like that's not the case."

"I can't be indifferent. Ji Chi, I can't be ungrateful. I originally had nothing, but the Shang family gave me everything.

I also want to abandon the secular world and live happily with what I like. But I can't be an ingrate. The secular world can't be abandoned. We all live in the eyes of others, and the Shang family's reputation is defined by others.

How many people were supervising the Shang family on behalf of this society? If the Shang family did anything bad because of me, I wouldn't be at ease.

Moreover, not only the Shang family, but also you, the Han family, and even Song Yunshu… Ji Chi, there are prerequisites for true love. Song Yunshu has been engaged to Uncle for four years. How can I… accept this relationship with a clear conscience?

She had so many concerns that she couldn't breathe.

She couldn't help but want to vent the words that she had suppressed for a long time.

Her trembling voice stopped. Shang Qiqi was already in tears.

She clutched her chest tightly, so upset that she almost suffocated.

"Ji Chi, how… do you think we should continue?"

No matter how she thought about it, there was only a dead end between her and Shang Qingmo.

Her pain was too clear. Han Jichi looked at her and his heart ached.

"Qiqi, why do you have to think so much? There are choices in everything. Since your uncle is willing to do this, he definitely won't care about what he will lose. It's just a temporary impact. As for the Song family… I don't think they will let Shang Qingmo delay the wedding for four years for no reason. There might be other problems between him and the Song family or Song Yunshu…"

Shang Qiqi shook her head. "Ji Chi, you don't have to comfort me like this. What if I don't come back?"

Han Jichi pursed her lips and frowned silently.

"They have to get married eventually."

Han Ji frowned and handed her a tissue.

"But we might not get married. I wasn't just comforting you just now. You can choose not to believe me, but you can't deny it. It's better to figure things out."

"Even if all the questions are as you think, so what if you're a selfish evil person? There are many evil people in the world. One more person won't make a difference."

Shang Qiqi bit her lip and remained silent.

How could she take the words of someone who favored her seriously when she clearly knew that she had done something wrong?

She knew very well who was right and who was wrong.

It was all because she knew…

Not long after, Shang Qiqi's phone rang. She took it out but didn't answer it. Instead, she replied.

Putting her phone back into her bag, she took a deep breath and adjusted her emotions before saying to Han Jichi,

"Sorry, I have other matters to attend to. See you when I have the chance."

She stood up, but Han Jichi grabbed her wrist.

After a while, his gaze swept past her before he let go of her. He stood up and blocked her path, his expression unusually cold.

"So Qiqi, what do you want to do? Since you think this is wrong, why are you with Shang Qingmo?"

"I'm willing to bear all the consequences."

Han Jiji still didn't understand what she wanted to do, but Shang Qiqi had already walked past him.

He turned and watched her leave, but he didn't chase after her.

When he couldn't see her, he closed his eyes and exhaled heavily. Then, he walked to the seat beside him and looked at the girl who was looking at him.

"Did you film something just now?"

The girl blushed and handed the phone to him. She whispered,

"I… I don't think it's a big deal…"

Han Jichi took the phone and looked at it. It was indeed a video. What Shang Qiqi had said and how she couldn't help but cry.

She had just seen it with her own eyes, but she could still feel her pain and sadness through the screen.

The girl observed her expression and said softly, "Actually, I think you're right. There are many bad people… She has too many concerns. She would rather suffer than see others suffer…"

Han Jichi pursed his lips and looked at her. "So, she deserves to be liked, right?"

The girl blushed and nodded. "She was also passive in this matter…"

Han Jichi nodded and looked at her. "Give me this video…"

Shang Qiqi came out of the washroom and went to the cafe where she had arranged to meet Song Yunshu.

The cafe was quiet and elegant. The location was good. The afternoon sun shone through the floor-to-ceiling glass. A few couples sat opposite each other and chatted warmly. There was a quiet and lazy romance.

Song Yunshu was already there. She chose a good spot by the window.

When the waiter brought Shang Qiqi over, she only nodded.

Shang Qiqi sat down calmly and faced Song Yunshu with a cold smile.

"Miss, what would you like to drink?"

"Lemonade, thank you."

After the waiter left, Shang Qiqi spoke first.

"If you have something to say, just say it."

Song Yunshu raised her coffee cup and took a sip. Looking at Shang Qiqi's indifferent expression, her lips curled into a mocking smile.

"I thought I would see your guilty face and you would keep apologizing to me, begging me to forgive you and grant your wish."

Shang Qiqi suddenly sneered. "Don't you understand? He would rather be a heartless man and be criticized by everyone. He chose to be with me regardless of the consequences. Does your wish mean anything?"

The smile on Song Yunshu's face gradually faded.

"So, you're showing off in front of me now?"

"You asked me out, Miss Song."

Shang Qiqi's voice was cold and harsh. "I don't know why you asked me out, but if you want to persuade me to give up my position, I think you don't have to say anything. Or perhaps you should talk to my uncle and ask him to pity you and beg him not to push you away. As long as you have the ability to make him fulfill the engagement with you, I will definitely accept this outcome."

Song Yunshu narrowed her eyes and looked at her coldly. Her fingers that were holding the handle of the coffee cup turned pale.

It wasn't until Shang Qiqi finished speaking that she suddenly laughed.

"I'm very curious about your current appearance. Back then, when the incident happened, did you pretend to be ignorant and avoid me? Or are you the real you today? If it's the latter, even if Shang Qingmo really doesn't love me, I won't give him to a woman like you."

Shang Qiqi also sneered. "There's no need for you to give it to me! In my opinion, if you're still unwilling to let go and continue to pester me, you'll only make yourself even more ridiculous. He can hurt you once for me, and he'll hurt you again for me. Why do you have to humiliate yourself like this? Song Yunshu, you've been by his side for four years, but you haven't been able to get him to marry you. Don't blame him for delaying your youth. You're the one who's incapable…"

Shang Qiqi's words stopped abruptly.

The waiter who had just delivered the lemonade was stunned on the spot. He was at a loss when he saw the lemonade dripping down Shang Qiqi's face.

Song Yunshu placed the empty cup on the table with obvious anger.

"I suddenly feel that when you left back then, you didn't let go. Your return this time is actually your long-planned plan."

"I can choose not to marry him, but don't think that you can. Back then, you coveted half of my uncle's bed at a young age. Now that you've just tasted a little sweetness, you're showing off here…"

My niece seduced my uncle and she's a third party. What right do you have to be smug in front of me? Who can really accept the two of you? The entire Shang family is about to be chewed up by others! Shang Qingmo is even being criticized now. Is this your so-called love?

There was a flash of sadness in Shang Qiqi's eyes. However, it only lasted for an instant. When Song Yunshu was stunned, she suddenly stood up and slapped her.

Everyone's attention was on the two of them.

Shang Qiqi reached out to wipe her wet hair behind her ears. She raised her chin and smiled.

"You're right. I'm indignant that the man I love will marry another woman in the end. So what if I've planned this for a long time? So what if I deliberately seduced him? Who asked him to fall for this? I've gotten what I wanted. Why should I care about anything else? Will the Shang family kill me? Or will the Shang family's business be ruined?"

"Song Yunshu, everything has to be settled. You're upright, sensible, and sensible, but I'm the one who will succeed in the end."

With that, she bent down, picked up her bag, and strode out of the cafe.

Song Yunshu looked at her back and frowned.

The waiter came back to his senses and asked her carefully, "Miss, are you… alright?"

Song Yunshu came back to her senses and said calmly, "I'm fine." She picked up her bag and left with a dark face.

In a corner of the cafe, someone was typing excitedly on his phone.

"This is definitely a big scoop today. Thank you very much. How much do you want?"

—"I don't want money. I only have one request. I'll send it after two hours."

"No problem."
