To My Dear Mr. Huo - Chapter 732

Chapter 732: Don’t Call Him So Affectionately

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio  Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

Luo Cheng had ulterior motives, but wasn’t Su Chenghui the same?

“Qianxue?”

“If you want to prove that you don’t have ulterior motives, leave now. Don’t mention anything about going home with me to see my dad and playing chess with him.”

Li Qianxue picked up her bag and was about to leave. Su Chenghui stood in front of her.

“Qianxue, I just want to see Dad. After all, I haven’t seen him for a long time.”

“Su Chenghui.” Li Qianxue stopped and stared at the man in front of her. “That’s not your dad. Don’t call him so affectionately.”

She lifted her feet and walked away. Xiao Zhao was already waiting downstairs. She directly got into the car and ignored Su Chenghui, who had been following her.

Su Chenghui looked at her back and shook his head helplessly.

When Li Qianxue reached home, she had already adjusted the emotions on her face. The moment she entered the door, she turned around and looked outside. There was no sign of a car, nor was there any sound of a car.

She retracted her gaze, and her eyes resumed a cold look.

When Li Qianxue and Old Master Li sat down at the dining table, Uncle Zhang suddenly came in.

“Old Master, sir is here.”

Only Su Chenghui could make Uncle Zhang address him as sir. Old Master Li was stunned for a moment, and looked at Li Qianxue in confusion.

Li Qianxue tightened her grip on the chopsticks. She turned to look at Uncle Zhang expressionlessly. She didn’t spit out the words “so what if he is here”.

Old Master Li’s attitude was much better than Li Qianxue’s. Although he was no longer in charge, he knew a little about the basic matters of the company.

He naturally knew about Su Chenghui’s recent cooperation with the Li Corporation.

“Let him in.”

After Su Chenghui entered the door, Old Master Li looked at him with a kind gaze. “Chenghui, have you eaten yet?”

“No.” Su Chenghui glanced at Li Qianxue as he spoke. Li Qianxue sat there expressionlessly without even raising her eyes.

Su Chenghui looked at Li Qianxue with a warm gaze.

At this time, Auntie Zhang took out the bowls and chopsticks, then asked Su Chenghui to sit down and eat.

“Thank you, Auntie Zhang.” Su Chenghui was very polite. He had always been very polite to the people who worked in the Li family.

“You’re welcome, sir.” Nanny Zhang liked Su Chenghui very much. She took out a soup bowl and poured Su Chenghui a bowl of soup before returning to the kitchen.

Li Qianxue tightened her grip on the chopsticks. She had the urge to chase Su Chenghui out, but she resisted it in the end.

Old Master Li looked at Su Chenghui. “Why are you free today?”

“I haven’t played chess with dad for a long time. I happened to get a good chessboard from a friend, so I wanted to come and see Dad.”

“Okay. That’s good too.” Li Qianxue nodded. “Then let’s eat first.”

He let Su Chenghui eat, but didn’t remind Su Chenghui to change his mind. Li Qianxue’s breathing was a little labored.

“Dad.”

“Eat.” Old Master Li knew what she wanted to say. He glanced at her, and Li Qianxue resisted the urge to throw the bowl, but in the end, she didn’t stand up and leave the table.

..

Su Chenghui brought a jade cabinet. On the chessboard made of Hetian Topaz, the warm black jade and the high quality suet jade were carefully carved. Each chess piece in his hand had an extremely transparent texture.

“My friend got this from a jade carving master. I know Dad likes to play chess, so I let him transfer it to me.”

“Good. Not bad.” Old Master Li liked to play chess, so it was not like he did not have good chess pieces. However, this set of chess pieces looked really good.

The quality of the Jade was good, and so was the carving skill.

“Then, let’s play a game?”

The two of them sat down and began to play chess. Li Qianxue stood behind the two of them and watched Old Master Li and Su Chenghui’s actions. She felt that she had nowhere to go.

She glared at the two of them, turned around, and went upstairs without looking back.

Su Chenghui picked up a white piece and placed it on the chessboard. From the corner of his eye, he watched Li Qianxue’s back as she left. His eyes were dark.

Old Master Li also placed a black piece. He was old, but his eyes were very shrewd. He saw Su Chenghui’s eyes at a glance.

“Chenghui. How have you been recently?”

… ..

Li Qianxue still felt annoyed when she returned to her room. It was already midsummer in Lin City. The weather was hot, and she had a lot of anger.

Su Chenghui, Su Chenghui.

Li Qianxue kept adjusting her breathing. She didn’t want to think about Su Chenghui’s smiling face anymore.

Half an hour later, Li Qianxue, who had taken a shower, had calmed down.

She could not be confused, nor could she be affected by Su Chenghui’s actions.

She casually picked up the book that she had put on the bedside table, walked to the front of the Imperial Consort Chair, and laid down to read. As for Su Chenghui, who cared about him?

Once, we dreamed that we did not know each other. When we woke up, we knew that we were in love.

“Compared to this sentence, I prefer another one: love. When you walk over with the lamp of pain lit in your hand, I can see your face, and I consider you happy.”

The sudden voice behind her gave Li Qianxue a fright. The book in her hand almost fell to the ground.

Su Chenghui quickly grabbed the book and looked at the cover. “The Flying Bird Collection in English. I remember that I brought it back from England.”

Li Qianxue took the book from his hand. Her cold face had a hint of coldness. “I just took a random book. You don’t have to interpret it too much.”

Su Chenghui stood beside the chaise longue and didn’t speak. He just looked at Li Qianxue with a faint smile on his face.

“How did you get in? Get out. This is my room.”

“It’s also my old room.” Su Chenghui was not affected by her cold expression. “I sent dad upstairs and told him that I was going back. Dad asked me to come and say hello to you.”

“There’s no need.” Li Qianxue realized that when they were downstairs just now, Su Chenghui must have said something to Old Master Li. “Su Chenghui, don’t think that you can bribe my dad with a chess piece. I’m telling you, it’s useless even if you bribe my dad. I won’t forgive you. No matter who says it, I won’t forgive them.”

“Qianxue.” Su Chenghui suddenly put a hand on the back of the Imperial Consort Chair. He bent down and looked at her. “You’re very nervous.”

“Nervous? What are you nervous about? Do I have to be nervous?”

It was ridiculous.

“Since you’re not nervous, I don’t mind telling you. I have no intention of bribing father. I just know that he likes to play chess, so I gave him a set of chess pieces.”

Su Chenghui’s words were gentle. At his age, he had the steadiness and calmness that a young man did not have.

His eyes and his tone let Li Qianxue know that what he said was true.

He did not need to curry favor with Old Master Li, and Old Master Li was not an easy person to please. But the more it was like this, the more uncomfortable she felt.

Turning her head, she forced herself not to believe every word he said.

“Qianxue.” Su Chenghui looked at the “Collection Of Flying Birds” that was tightly held in her arms and almost deformed from the pressure. He took the book back and his gaze was gentle.

“I’ve said it before. I don’t expect your forgiveness anymore.”

Putting the book aside, he put his other hand beside her. In this way, she was trapped between his body and the chair.

“Even if you cannot forgive me for the rest of your life, that is your choice.”

“I can also choose to love you for the rest of my life, whether you forgive me in the end or not, whether you give me a chance.”

“Qainxue, loving you is my choice, and wanting to be by your side is my wish. All of this is my own subjective will, and it has nothing to do with you. So you don’t have to be nervous.”

The warm air he exhaled brushed against her face. She was already so familiar with the aura that was deep in her bones that it surrounded her at this moment.

At this moment, Li Qianxue thought that she had returned to that afternoon many years ago. A young man was standing at the front desk of the conference room and confidently talking about his idea.

Her heart beat faster.

The moment she heard her own heartbeat, Li Qianxue suddenly reached out her hand and pushed him hard.

“Are you done? If you’re done, I’ll ask you to leave.”

The resistance on her face was even more obvious than before. Su Chenghui knew that he couldn’t force it, so he wasn’t in a hurry to make progress in one day.

“I’m leaving. Qianxue, remember to rest well.”

“If you’re not here, I’ll naturally be able to rest well.”

Li Qianxue knew that with her status, she was already very calm about everything.

However, every time she faced Su Chenghui, she would lose some of her calmness. This was not a good feeling at all.

As if to prove her words, Li Qianxue stood up and planned to walk towards the bed.

Su Chenghui’s body had not completely retreated. As soon as she stood up, she bumped into him. Su Chenghui took a step back and she took a step forward.

In order not to let her fall, he could only choose to hold her waist. In this way, Li Qianxue was completely wrapped in his arms.

He lowered his head and looked at Li Qianxue’s beautiful face. After taking a shower, her whole body was filled with the smell of rose-scented shower gel.

She was only wearing a bathrobe, and her collar was slightly open. Looking at the scene of the collar, Su Chenghui’s eyes darkened.

“Where are you looking at?” Li Qianxue raised her head in anger. Su Chenghui retracted his gaze and looked at her red lips that were slightly opened due to anger.

He suddenly could not help but tilt his head and kiss her lips.

Li Qianxue was shocked by his sudden action. She even forgot how to react for a moment.

It was very soft.

Su Chenghui remembered the kiss that stopped at one touch. But the memory was not as deep as the one in front of him.

He used a little strength and pressed forward a little.

It was really soft and a little sweet. He suddenly could not stop.

The hand on his waist began to exert strength. He pressed her body into his embrace. The tilted head deepened the contact. This kiss made him addicted.

He could not help but want more and more.

..

Li Qianxue suddenly raised her hand and pushed him away forcefully. She took a big step back, gritted her teeth, and glared at Su Chenghui fiercely.

“Su Chenghui, that’s enough.”

What kind of person did he think she was?

“Not enough.”

“Get out.”

Su Chenghui looked at her deeply. “Okay.”

Li Qianxue thought he was going to leave, but Su Chenghui took another step forward, tilted his head, and planted a kiss on her cheek.

“I’m leaving. Good night, Qianxue.”

He turned around and his steps slightly faster, he left. Li Qianxue couldn’t flare up even if she wanted to. She stood there while feeling even angrier.

While she was fuming, the deep kiss just now flashed through her mind uncontrollably.

Her body was full of Su Chenghui’s scent and the influence he left behind.

Li Qianxue’s face was unsightly. She had insomnia that night.

… ..

Li Qianxue looked at Chen Pengyuan, who was in front of her, with a gloomy expression.

She was at the construction site of City Star. She had come in the afternoon, and as expected, she did not see Chen Pengyuan.

She even deliberately waited until it was almost time to get off work, but she did not see Chen Pengyuan.

Li Qianxue’s anger grew as she waited longer and longer. When Yang Rong informed Chen Pengyuan to come to the construction site, and she waited for almost an hour, Li Qianxue’s face was extremely ugly.

“Manager Chen.” Li Qianxue didn’t even bother to call his name. “Can you explain where you were all this afternoon? What did you do?”

Chen Pengyuan didn’t expect to be caught red-handed by Li Qianxue, and his facial eexpression didn’t look good either. “Qianxue, look at this –”

“Please call me President Li.” Li Qianxue did not give him any face at all.

Chen Pengyuan’s father looked a little embarrassed. “I can explain this. I did have something to do in the afternoon. Didn’t I not make it in time? Don’t worry, I usually work very hard to supervise. It’s fine.”

Li Qianxue did not say anything. She just stared at his face so tightly that Chen Pengyuan himself avoided her gaze.

Li Qianxue didn’t want to waste any more time with him. She turned around and looked at Yang Rong. “Inform the finance department to pay him tomorrow.”

“Qianxue, you can’t do this, Qianxue.”

Chen Pengyuan called out a few times, but Li Qianxue didn’t want to look at him anymore. She turned around and walked to the back. Chen Pengyuan tried to catch up, but Yang Rong and Xiao Zhao blocked his way.

“Li Qianxue, you cold-blooded woman. We are relatives. Do you have to be so ruthless?”

“Li Qianxue, I don’t believe that you can find a better supervisor.”

“Li Qianxue –”

A series of clamor sounded behind her, but Li Qianxue pretended not to hear it.

Her expression calm, she walked on the construction site that had been preliminarily built

“If you believe me, I have a good recommendation.”

The sudden voice made Li Qianxue turn around. When she saw Su Chenghui standing in front of her, she was not surprised at all.

“Are you here to see the results?”

“No. I’m here to help you.” Su Chenghui said a name. “This person used to be in the Li Corporation. He only left his job for a while because of some family matters. If you believe me, he will definitely be competent.”

“Because of family matters?” Li Qianxue looked at him expressionlessly. “Didn’t he leave because he wanted to hang out with you?”

“Qianxue, do you think that when I left, Manager Lin and the others left because of me?”

“Isn’t that so?”

“Qianxue, I’m not as despicable as you think.” Su Chenghui seemed a little helpless. Those people were just used to doing things with him.

But the person he was talking about today was indeed competent.

“You really can consider it.”

“Su Chenghui.” Li Qianxue suddenly became serious. “Can you stay away from me?”

Don’t come close to her, don’t provoke her, stay away from her, stay further away.

If he continued to approach her like this, some things would be out of her control.
