Chapter 1156: Chapter 1156: Don’t Be Mad at Me
Xia Xin widened her eyes and said with a straight face, “What kind of relationship can they have? Didn’t I already tell Director Xun? They’re an engaged couple, right? It’s all normal, stay calm, stay calm.”
Xun Tianhai, upon hearing this, knew Xia Xin was just messing with him.
However…
Maybe he really misunderstood before?
He glanced at Jiangli and Fu Shiyan again.
Their faces were clear in front of him, but every time he tried to analyze their expressions closely, for some reason, he couldn’t see through either of them.
Their faces seemed to be covered in a layer of mist, blocking everything, making it impossible for Xun Tianhai to see clearly.
But judging from their appearances, they did seem quite compatible.
Thinking of this, Xun Tianhai didn’t ask anything further.
The elevator quickly arrived at the presidential suite.
After escorting Fu Shiyan and Jiangli to the door, Xun Tianhai and Bai Changfeng took Xia Xin, Fu’er, and the others to their rooms.
Qing Yue and Duan Jianchuan didn’t leave.
Jiangli seemed to not notice these two lightbulbs, indifferent to their presence, as she looked around the room.
Indeed, the top suite lived up to its name; the room was ridiculously large, impossible for one person to manage.
Jiangli glanced around.
Fu Shiyan followed her inside, asking, “How is it, satisfied?”
Jiangli, not happy nor sad, said, “It’s quite nice.”
Fu Shiyan noticed that her mood seemed slightly off, and she seemed more guarded around him.
He knew where this caution was coming from.
Fu Shiyan gently said, “Investing in this competition wasn’t intentionally kept from you. I honestly didn’t expect Lili to participate. Once I found out, I thought of giving you a pleasant surprise; please don’t be mad at me.”
When Jiangli met his pair of pitiable eyes, she couldn’t bring herself to get angry and said plainly, “I’m not angry, just feel the room is too big.”
Fu Shiyan said, “There are only two rooms on this floor. I’m staying next door.” He joked, “If Lili thinks the room is too big, I can move over to keep you company?”
Jiangli almost choked on her own saliva, blushing rapidly as she glared at Fu Shiyan, retorting with a huff, “Thank you for your considerate offer, Mr. Fu, but no need.”
Fu Shiyan said with regret, “I was quite happy just now.”
Jiangli didn’t want to think about what he was happy about, her expression awkward as she said, “Mr. Fu, I’m tired. I’d like to rest for a bit. If it’s alright with you, could you give me some time to rest?”
Fu Shiyan saw her pleading look and smiled slightly, “Alright, I’ll come by later to take you out for dinner?”
Jiangli was about to say that Xun Tianhai had already set up plans.
Fu Shiyan, seemingly already aware, said, “Let’s invite Director Xun and the others along.”
Jiangli changed her tune, “Alright, it’s settled then.”
Fu Shiyan nodded, telling her to rest well before turning to leave Jiangli’s room with Qing Yue and Duan Jianchuan.
Once everyone had left, Jiangli let out a long sigh of relief.
…
On the other side.
Qing Yue followed closely behind Fu Shiyan, walking down the corridor, glancing back at the closed door of Jiangli’s room with an amused smile, teased, “I thought Third Brother was really going to stay over in the Abbot’s room.”
Fu Shiyan remained silent, acting as if he hadn’t heard Qing Yue’s words.
Duan Jianchuan observed this, looked at Qing Yue, and spoke on behalf of Fu Shiyan, “The Abbot is still young and easily embarrassed; this requires a slow approach.”
Qing Yue, hearing this, looked at Duan Jianchuan with interest, “Isn’t that true? Speaking of slow and steady, Brother Duan is the master, although it seems like Brother Duan was getting a bit anxious later on?”
Duan Jianchuan’s face twitched.
Qing Yue immediately sported a smug smile.
Duan Jianchuan, infuriated, pulled a frozen face and ignored Qing Yue further.
