CHAPTER 117: CHAPTER 114 THE DOCUMENTS YOU REQUESTED

"Good, well said!" Mo Rutian looked at him and patted his shoulder; a sense of trust had inexplicably strengthened a great deal.

At that moment, the secretary walked in with a document. "Chairman, here’s the document you requested."

Long Shangxuan greeted Mo Shangxuan with a nod before leaving the chairman’s office.

Thinking about the noon appointment, he couldn’t help glancing at the gold nameplate on the office door reading "Chairman." His handsome face revealed a faint, elusive gleam of detachment and indifference.

Soon, he drove away from the "Mohai Zongheng International Group."

「...」

At noon, on the top floor of Qi Imperial Court in the center of City A.

Hua Xiaomo tidied herself up simply. She even applied her bright red lipstick carefully, making her petite lips exude a moist, cherry-like fragrance and a beautifully charming appearance.

In front of the small mirror, she smiled delightfully at her reflection before picking up her bag and leaving President Qi Longbing’s office.

Qi Longbing is probably still in a meeting at this time!

But as luck would have it, just as Hua Xiaomo was about to step into the elevator, she ran into a group coming out of the meeting room, led by Qi Longbing himself.

Oh no! Hua Xiaomo inwardly cried out, turning around swiftly, but she hadn’t taken many steps before...

"Hua Xiaomo!" a voice called out to her.

Hua Xiaomo was stunned, her eyes closing reluctantly. How could he finish the meeting so quickly? Wasn’t he a workaholic? Why didn’t he continue the meeting a little longer? At least until after I’d left!

Hua Xiaomo’s feet froze in place. As he approached, she had already composed herself. She bowed slightly to him with a smile and said, "President Qi, your meeting is over."

Qi Longbing glanced at her, his gaze lingering on her brightly painted red lips. His eyes narrowed slightly as he responded faintly with a "hmm" before walking past her.

Hua Xiaomo watched as he walked towards the elevator, her feet rooted to the spot. Go on, hurry downstairs! she silently urged.

Then, just as the elevator doors were about to close with Qi Longbing inside, he looked back and saw her still standing at a distance.

Realizing he was looking at her, she couldn’t help but raise a hand, waving goodbye to him.

Qi Longbing frowned upon seeing this, demanding, "Hua Xiaomo, what are you still doing standing there? Come here!"

"Uh..." Hua Xiaomo chuckled awkwardly, grasping for an excuse. "I just remembered I have some work... not done yet. President Qi, you go ahead."

But the next second, Qi Longbing stepped right back out of the executive elevator and approached her. Without another word, he grabbed her by the elbow and said, "Forget the documents for now. Accompany me to have lunch with a client."

Upon hearing this, Hua Xiaomo’s face turned pale. Managing to offer a strained smile, she asked, "President Qi... may I not go?"

"No!" Qi Longbing replied, leaving no room for negotiation.

Soon, after getting off the elevator, Hua Xiaomo was promptly ushered into a sleek black Ferrari, which sped off towards their destination.

It’s over... My appointment with Brother Long... it’s completely blown.

Sitting in the passenger seat, Hua Xiaomo felt restless, her eyes, filled with profound melancholy, hidden behind stray strands of hair.

The luxury car was eerily silent. Qi Longbing drove without speaking for a while, and Hua Xiaomo, lost in the disappointment of her missed appointment, was even quieter.

"Want to listen to some music?" Qi Longbing suddenly asked.

"Whatever," Hua Xiaomo replied calmly and helplessly, her eyes still carrying a hint of sorrow.

Music began to play, but the atmosphere between the two grew even more silent.

Qi Longbing turned off the music again and suddenly pulled the car over to the side of the road. "What’s wrong?" he asked. "Are you not feeling well?"

At that, Hua Xiaomo suddenly had an idea and spoke hesitantly, "President Qi, I... I do feel a bit unwell. Can I skip lunch?"

Qi Longbing looked at her pallid face, then reached out to touch her forehead with a smile. "You’re a little warm. You’d better head back now; don’t stay out too long."

Seeing this, Hua Xiaomo was completely stunned. He actually cares about me! For some reason, my heart feels a bit uneasy, but no matter what, I still have to meet Brother Long. I can’t linger here any longer.

I need to rush to meet Brother Long. My heart is set on Brother Long.
