Deliberate favoritism, the cold-faced president surrenders obediently

Chapter 251 Meeting again

The next morning, when Lin Qian woke up, Li Yanxiu was no longer in bed.

She vaguely heard low voices coming from outside, probably someone on the phone. She glanced at the time, threw off the quilt, got out of bed, and went straight to the bathroom to wash up.

When Li Yanxiu came in after finishing his work, Lin Qian was sitting at the dressing table putting on makeup.

Lin Qian looked at him in the mirror. "Are you busy at work?"

"Well, the company ran into some trouble."

"Are we still going shopping today?"

When she asked this question, she stopped what she was doing and waited for his further answer.

There were footsteps behind her, and Li Yanxiu came in front of her.

Their eyes met in the mirror, and he immediately pulled her into his arms, saying calmly, "Of course."

After that, his brows relaxed and he curved his lips as he said, "Let's go to Vilna Church later. We'll probably be back at noon because we have a video conference at 1 pm. You can come back and rest for a while. I'll take you to Central Street in the evening."

Lin Qian was somewhat shocked by his plan. She turned to look at Li Yanxiu and asked in surprise, "When did you make this strategy?"

"Just now."

Lin Qian quickly continued with her work. "I'll be done soon. Wait for me."

Li Yanxiu ruffled her hair and said with a curved lip, "Don't worry, put on some beautiful makeup. I'll go wash up."

Lin Qian said “hmm”.

Half an hour later, the two finished their meal at the hotel and went out shopping.

St. Werner's Church is a famous landmark building in H City, a national scenic spot, and a typical representative of modern European architecture in H City.

As soon as the two entered the church, Li Yanxiu's phone rang again.

The man thought it was a work call, so he picked it up and took a look. He found it was an unfamiliar number with no notes. The man was stunned for a few seconds and remembered that this was Jiang Ning's number that he had pulled from the blacklist.

Lin Qian was walking inside with Li Yanxiu's arm around her, and could clearly feel the changes in his body.

She let go of the man's arm obediently and said with a smile, "You should focus on your work first. I'll go in and take a look around."

The latter said "hmm" and walked out with the phone.

"Hey?"

"Ash, it's me."

"Ah."

Li Yanxiu's attitude was very indifferent, "What's the matter?"

"Today is my birthday. You know I only know you in this city. Can you come over and blow out the candles with me?" Jiang Ning said softly.

Li Yanxiu declined her invitation, "I'm out of town, it's not convenient."

"I'm in H City."

"..."

Jiang Ning said, "Don't worry, I won't keep you for long. We just want to meet in a coffee shop or somewhere crowded. I don't mean any harm. I've run into some trouble at work and I want to ask for your help. I'll come over and we can talk in person."

"You can bring it up now. There's no need to meet again." Li Yanxiu didn't agree.

The two of them had been together for so long, how could he not know what kind of person the woman on the other end of the phone was? She brought this up just to give him no reason to refuse.

She was so cunning and scheming that maybe what she said about what happened after she left him was all an act.

I once tried my best to leave, and now I am trying my best to come back.

There was silence on the other end of the phone for a few seconds.

The woman found it amusing. "Are you afraid that I'll go find Lin Qian, or are you afraid that I'll pester you?"

Li Yanxiu's dark eyes were deep, "No one can sow discord between us."

"I'll send you the location. It's not far from you. We can eat and talk. I won't take up too much of your time."

"See you again, just consider it the wish I made today."

After that, she hung up the phone.

Looking at the page showing the end of the call, his face was tense.

After that, he turned off the screen of his phone.

Li Yanxiu returned to the church. Lin Qian smiled, took his arm, and took him to see the buildings inside.

However, although the man beside her was accompanying her, he was not focused on visiting the tourist attractions and buildings, and seemed a little absent-minded.

She ran her hand down the man's arm and took his hand, "Are you having trouble at work?"

The latter came back to his senses, "It's okay."

She reminded him, "Did you delay your work by accompanying me out? If you're very busy, how about... we go back to the hotel first?"

The man raised his eyes and met her gaze.

The knot between his brows relaxed slightly, replaced by an extremely gentle expression. "I promised to go out shopping with you last night. I will only go shopping with you. No matter how important the work is, I will not break my promise to you."

The woman smiled. "Then could you please pay attention? Ever since you got back from the phone call, you've been distracted. You didn't even look closely at any of the buildings when you came in."

"it is good."

The next second, Jiang Ning's message popped up again.

The meeting location and time were sent.

Li Yanxiu couldn't shake off the irritation in his mind.

Deep down, he really didn't want to continue having any contact with Jiang Ning without telling Lin Qian, but he also hoped to compensate Jiang Ning as much as possible and as soon as possible.

The two of them came out of another door of the church, and Li Yanxiu said, "You should go back to the hotel and take a nap first. I'll go to the exhibition hall. When you wake up, I'll take you to the central street. There's a fountain there where you can make a wish."

Lin Qian smiled and nodded, replying sweetly, "Okay."

He said that, and Lin Qian immediately recalled what happened last night. "Mr. Song from the Architecture Institute came to me privately last night. He's bribed many people in the company to work for him. I think Manager Li also revealed our relationship to him. Mr. Song has a bad character, and the exhibition hall project is now unfinished. This matter has far-reaching implications. Don't let the investigation team's brief explanation fool you, or else something bad will happen and affect the company's credibility."

Hearing about what happened to Lin Qian last night, Li Yanxiu frowned, "Did he do anything to you?"

Lin Qian shook her head.

Seeing his grim expression, Lin Qian comforted him, "No, Manager Li is here. He knows about our relationship, and President Song didn't dare do anything to me. I left immediately after hearing his intentions."

Li Yanxiu calmly suppressed his emotions and said, "I will seriously investigate this matter. If anyone causes trouble for you again, remember to tell me immediately."

"Ah."

Lin Qian glanced at him and felt that he seemed unhappy.

She asked, "Did I say something wrong? I shouldn't get involved in your work."

"No."

"You look too serious."

"I'm afraid they'll embarrass you." His expression softened, and he pulled her into his arms, saying, "Even if the investigation finds no problems with a company like this, I won't cooperate with them anymore. I'll give the order shortly to have them hand over to the alternative construction company."

"No, I'm just guessing. Maybe the architecture firm is legitimate, but he was just too hasty and the approach he took was too radical."
