The private room was very big. Looking behind Shen Nanxiao, there was also a sofa to rest on and a coffee table. This table, which was already big enough, still made Liu Qi feel too close to him.
It seemed so close that she could hear the sound of breathing and smell the scent of the lotus. In fact, the lotus was Liu Qi’s favorite flower, but she never wore perfume. Whenever she met Shen Nanxiao, she would feel that summer had arrived; however, the lotus seemed to have bloomed in the winter instead.
“Um… where’s my phone?” Liu Qi felt a little uncomfortable being looked at by Shen Nanxiao, so she spoke first to break the quiet and oppressing atmosphere.
Shen Nanxiao’s expression changed. His slender fingers gently pressed on the menu on the screen beside the table. Then, he looked at Liu Qi indifferently and said, “Eat first, then… I have something to tell you.”
“Oh, okay.” Liu Qi nodded slightly. She clasped her hands together and appeared a little reserved. It was also strange. She had never been like this before.
After eating a bowl of wonton, she felt a sense of warmth in her stomach. Liu Qi held the spoon and gently blew it. Her fair and tender hand supported the hair beside her ear as she sipped on the hot soup.
Liu Qi looked exquisite. Even when she drank the soup, it was enough to amaze someone’s gaze.
“Alright, what’s the matter?” Liu Qi put down the spoon. She had been thinking about what Shen Nanxiao had said just now. She wondered what Shen Nanxiao was going to say, and for a moment, she was looking forward to it.
Shen Nanxiao first returned the phone to her and then said, “I know that you oppose the marriage that your parents have decided on. Marriage is not a child’s game, so naturally, you have to be cautious. I also respect your decision. This marriage contract… is void.”
The word ‘void’ was practically squeezed out of Shen Nanxiao’s mouth. He was reluctant to part with it, but he also had no choice but to part with it.
However, Liu Qi’s face did not show the joy that he had expected. Instead, she was stunned. The light in her eyes disappeared at that moment. She was at a loss and her eyes became dim.
Her originally fair and slightly moist skin appeared extremely pale at this moment. Liu Qi had never expected that Shen Nanxiao wanted to break off the marriage with her!
The hand holding the phone gradually tightened. Her fingertips were dark red, and her nose began to twitch. In the next second, tears burst out of her eyes. The broken string of the pearls seemed to have landed on the table, but it had fallen into the bottom of someone’s heart.
Shen Nanxiao really could not figure out Liu Qi. His beautiful sword-like eyebrows furrowed slightly. After thinking for a moment, he continued, “You were the one who wanted to cancel it. I agree!”
After hearing what Shen Nanxiao said, Liu Qi, who was still holding back her sobs, immediately burst into tears. She was like a child who had lost her favorite doll.
She blamed herself and regretted it. She had personally forced a person who loved her to leave. She could not hold back the sadness in her heart and cried out in embarrassment.
“Don’t cry!”
Shen Nanxiao really did not know what to do with her. The gaze in his eyes was sharp, just like a dignified parent who was teaching a child a lesson.
Sure enough, Liu Qi stopped. She randomly wiped her face with her hand, and went from broken-down crying to sobbing quietly.
“Do you hate me that much?” The voice was very soft, so soft that only Shen Nanxiao could hear it. However, Liu Qi still caught it.
Then, Shen Nanxiao stood up and walked to Liu Qi’s side, returning to his usual indifference. “When you’re done crying. I’ll get someone to bring you back.”
With that, Shen Nanxiao moved his long legs and was about to leave through the door.
“Don’t go!”
As soon as he finished speaking, the man’s waist had been hugged by a person who was as soft as a kitten from behind. Her little red hands were tightly clasped together, and her little face was pressed against his back. Warm tears were dripping down his suit.
“No, Shen Nanxiao, don’t leave me. I don’t hate you. I don’t hate you. I like you.” Liu Qi choked with sobs. Actually, from the beginning, she just did not like how others decided her life, and coincidentally, she met her childhood friend Nangong Shu again. Nangong Shu always treated her as if she was not there. Sometimes, he was good to her, and sometimes, he ignored her for a long time.
It was as if what she could not have was the best. She could see how good Shen Nanxiao was, but she did not cherish it. She should not have had the face to cry, but she really did not want to pass him by again.
“What? !”

Shen Nanxiao seemed to have misheard. His eyes were filled with disbelief. He slowly turned around and gently lifted Liu Qi’s small face with his fingertips, forcing her to look into his eyes.
His eyes were filled with countless thoughts, but his expression was extremely serious. He asked, “Look at me and say it one more time.”
At this moment, Liu Qi looked at Shen Nanxiao with unusual seriousness. She was not afraid of his gaze. His eyes reflected her, and only her.
“I, like, Shen Nanxiao.” Liu Qi gathered her courage and confessed to the man who was close by. She could clearly see Shen Nanxiao’s eyes trembling slightly. She looked at him; the Adam’s apple that was rolling slightly, and the thin lips that were slightly pursed; his facial features were just right.
In the next second, before Liu Qi could react, the man hugged her tightly in his arms. She could feel the man bending down slightly, lowering his head, and placing his lips next to her ears. That light breath of his was ticklish and warm.
Shen Nanxiao lowered his voice as if he was trying to hide something. His voice was gentle and hoarse, but his tone was extremely forceful. “I’ve given you the chance to leave. In the future, there will be no more.”
“Yes.” The person who buried his head in his firm chest answered softly, like a kitten moaning, clear and delicate.
…
A few minutes later.
“? ? ? ?” Wu Feng, who was standing at the entrance to the corridor, heard the sound of the door opening. He inadvertently glanced at it, and his entire body seemed to freeze.
He saw something! The President was holding Miss Liu’s… hand! Moreover, Miss Liu did not seem to be unwilling.
Wu Feng quickly went up to her. When he got closer, Miss Liu seemed to have cried. Even her eyes were red. What… did the President do? ! Wu Feng thought a little too far ahead…
In broad daylight… cough cough!
“President, President… Madam.” Wu Feng greeted the two of them with a smile. When Liu Qi heard this address, her face immediately turned slightly red.
“Yes.”
Shen Nanxiao nodded naturally. He was not moved by Wu Feng’s funny smile. Almost nothing could change Shen Nanxiao’s ice-cold face.
When they walked out of the corridor, everyone knew this unbelievably handsome man. He was the President of the Yunqi Corporation, which was also their boss.
Shen Nanxiao was not in the family company. He founded the Yunqi Corporation by himself. He started with the research and development of skincare products in the beginning. Later on, he started to dabble in film and television companies, public squares, and clothing; he had even recently acquired a gaming company.
The three hotel attendants who were pushing the cleaning car stopped and began to whisper, “The girl next to President Shen is the eldest daughter of the Liu family, Liu Qi, is she?”
“Of course she is. They have been engaged since they were children. I’m so envious!” The other smiled, like an old mother looking at her daughter and son-in-law. The more she looked at them, the more she liked them.
“What’s there to be envious about? It’s just a marriage alliance in the business world. How could President Shen like Liu Qi? She’s so dry. She’s not even as good as me.” The person who said this showed a disdainful look at Liu Qi’s back.
These words immediately made the other two people who were excited onlookers lose their mood. They shook their heads helplessly. “Let’s go, let’s go.”

Outside the hotel, Shen Nanxiao suddenly stopped. He looked at the person beside him and asked, “Where do you want to go? I’ll accompany you today.”
Wu Feng was stunned when he heard that. He thought that the President had to go back to work. He was suddenly a little anxious. He wanted to grab the President’s collar and shout, “Don’t you know how many things you still have to do? You don’t want the company anymore?”
Unfortunately, Wu Feng did not dare to say it. He could only fantasize about this in his heart.
“I want to go…” before Liu Qi could finish her words, she saw a car parked at the entrance of the hotel. Then, someone rushed to welcome the person and helped to park the car.
And the license plate of that car! … She could feel it even if she was blind!
