Chapter 33: Reemergence of Roses
As they turned around and looked at the man with a sullen look, their expressions simultaneously turned from joy to anger.
“Don’t you know your absurd remarks would bring tremendous negative impacts on Director Si and our company?” Xiaoyu angrily accused Feng Qi to his face.
Feng Qi was always boasting his dashing appearance and prevailing charisma. Beyond his expectations though, the girl who was deeply in love with him broke their ties so soon. She was a natural actor, and it would be a pity if she didn’t become one.
“I’m telling you our President Gong is much more attractive than you. Our Director Si and President Gong are a perfect couple, so you don’t even stand a chance! You’d better stay away from Director Si.”
This girl was quite a talker, but was he familiar with her?
“Was I talking to you, you glib little girl?”Copyright Nôv/el/Dra/ma.Org.
“I act on our Director Si’s behalf, and except for our President Gong, any man who intends for a talk with her should turn to me for message delivery, so, you’d better give up!”
Si Wan was amused by Xiaoyu’s endearing answer. How serious was that? Beyond her expectations, Xiaoyu was a diamond in the rough.
To the gabbling Xiaoyu, Feng Qi responded with a sinister smile and a calm tone.
“Is that so? How do you explain the photo then?”
“Humph, that’s because I was sent by the director for another business, and you took the advantage. Guess what, since I’ve been back, don’t you intend to take any advantage of our director even again, otherwise, I’ll scratch your playboy face!”
Did she regard herself as a member of the triad? Anyhow Si Wan was emotionally touched by Xiaoyu every time.
Now that Feng Qi’s turned ghastly pale under Xiaoyu’s accusation, Si Wan felt it enough so she tugged Xiaoyu to stop.
Xiaoyu glared at Feng Qi, and then, like a triumphant general, returned to Si Wan’s side at a brisk pace. She even proudly gave Si Wan a high-five to declare her victory.
It seemed through the show Xiaoyu’s intrinsic confidence and spirit had been activated. Such a girl was even more adorable.
“Mr. Feng Qi, I think I should introduce myself. I’m Si Wan, the wife of Gong Siming and the junior mistress of Gong’s Group.”
Si Wan’s face lit up with happiness. Especially when Gong Siming was mentioned, she showed an obsessed smile. The brilliant smile stung Feng Qi’s heart, making him depressed and upset.
“Mr. Feng Qi, I’ll continue with subsequent work, but most of the time Xiaoyu will be handling it on my behalf. You can turn to her for business. Besides, you should keep playing along.”
Out of Si Wan’s protection, Feng Qi held the press conference regardless of everyone’s objection, only to get such a result.
“Xiaoyu, you should go with Feng Qi now. As for the rest of the plot, you can improvise properly.”
Pulling up Feng Qi from the sofa, Xiaoyu quickly got into her role.
“Rest assured, Director Si, my man is in good hands.”
She dragged Feng Qi out of the room. Feng Qi raised his head, forced a smile and walked outside with Xiaoyu in his arms.
The outside was tightly packed with reporters and fans. Along the way out, Feng Qi tried his best to protect the woman in his arms as if she was really his beloved one.
They had to push their way to the car. The police force of the imperial capital was even deployed to facilitate Feng Qi’s car pulling away at the speed of snails.
As soon as the car got out of the crowd and ran fast on the road of the imperial capital, the hugging couple tacitly let go of each other and looked in opposite directions, lost in their separate thoughts.
All the reporters came for Feng Qi. As soon as his car pulled away, they immediately hopped in their own ones to chase him, and those who couldn’t catch up dispersed.
When Si Wan came out, everything had been put back to normal.
Si Wan got into her car, and before the engine was started, her phone rang.
An unfamiliar number appeared on the screen, which was an international call. After she picked it up suspiciously, a familiar voice rang.
“Si Wan, leave your car in the basement. I’ve transferred it to Xiaoyu. One moment later, someone will pick you up. From now on, you will have a personal driver.”
Before she tried to explain the photos and scandals on the Internet, the sound of on-hook came from the other side, and she forced a smile. Classic Gong Siming, wan’t it?
Even Gong Siming himself was unsure why he hung up the phone. Maybe he was afraid of hearing some undesired words, or he trusted in Si Wan so much as to need no explanation from her.
His devotion to his work, his engrossed eyes, resolute and calm expressions, as well as his perfect smile brought out more unique charisma of this handsome man.
People always described fair ladies as goddesses who could only be appreciated distantly instead of touched blasphemously, which matched this man to the point.
The car sent by Gong Siming was unexpectedly the Ferrari Limited Edition. When she got into the car, she felt flattered.
If memory served her correctly, he once broke the arm of a man who touched his car back then.
In the past, he didn’t even allow her to approach his car, and she had never expected a ride today.
The phone screen lit up.
“The car has been registered under your name.”
How simple and straightforward his words were! He didn’t need her consent, only her obedience. His overbearing quality seemed omnipresent. Only she felt it different this time. As for the precise difference, Si Wan couldn’t tell exactly.
Suffering from an emotional struggle, she had typed and deleted her texts many times before five simple characters were sent out to Gong Siming.
“Thank you, and please trust me.”
As soon as the screen lit up, Gong Siming hastily clicked open the message. After that, he leaned against the back of his seat in relief. Staring blankly at the roof, he slowly closed his eyes.
Huaer carefully covered Gong Siming with a jacket. It was the first time he had ever seen Gong Siming sound asleep since they had come abroad.
Si Wan stared at the cell screen for a long time. As expected, it never lit up again.
Am I still clinging to the last hope?
He did all this only for a better plot and the sake of Gong’s Group shaking off the scandal as well as preventing himself from being embarassed.
How stupid she had been to tell him to trust her! As she saw the fleeting scene outside the window, she related it to her relationship with Gong Siming.
Their relationship was ephemeral and surreal. She indulged herself in her own wishful thinking.
When she got back to the company and opened the office door, Si Wan was stunned.
Just like last time, the same kind of roses cluttered up the entire office. She had been busy with other things these days and laid aside the entanglement from Mu Zhishen.
Sighing at the trouble, Si Wan closed her office door and left the company.
