Chapter 48: You Forced Me

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Because his previous attempt at approaching her had failed, David decided to take the route of being a warm and caring man at home. He personally made lunch for Shen Qingyue. In their line of work, it was necessary to serve the benefactor well. He brought the lunchbox and arrived once again at the headquarters of the Shen Corporation, but he was stopped by Chi Ming on the way. He gritted his teeth in anger, “You have the audacity to appear in front of me? Why did you deceive me last time? The phone numbers I gave you for wealthy women were all real! You’re so insincere.”

...

Chi Ming’s face turned cold. “You haven’t given up yet?” It seemed like Mr. Shen’s lesson last time was too light.

David gritted his teeth. “It’s all about abilities! Since nothing has happened, why should I give up? Move aside, I’m here to deliver lunch!”

“Mr. Shen probably doesn’t know you’re here again, right? Do you think you can get in? Do you think this is a market? Anyone who wants to enter can just enter?” Chi Ming’s words successfully made David stop in his tracks.

Five minutes later, Chi Ming entered Shen Qingyue’s office holding the lovingly prepared lunchbox.

“I’ve brought lunch for you.”

The food box was opened, and the aroma of the meal wafted in the air. Shen

Qingyue picked up her chopsticks and took a bite. “Did you make this yourself? I couldn’t tell, you have good cooking skills.”

Chi Ming smiled. “It was made by a kind-hearted person.”

In the following days, Chi Ming came to the company every day to find Shen Qingyue, intercepting David’s lovingly prepared lunches. He did not give him any chance to get close. But David was not someone who would easily give up. He managed to obtain Shen Qingyue’s contact information from a delivery person and eagerly called her. The call connected.

“Miss Shen, I…”

A cold, stern male voice came through the phone. “Get lost.”

David called again and realized he had been blocked.

When Shen Qingyue returned from the meeting room, she saw Chi Ming sitting on the sofa reading a book, appearing calm and peaceful. “I think I heard you telling someone to get lost? What happened?”

“You must have misheard. I’ve been reading the whole time and haven’t said a word.” Chi Ming was very gentle. If it weren’t for worrying about scaring Shen Qingyue, he would have dealt with those flies and mosquitoes long ago.

“Oh.” Shen Qingyue casually sat down. “Don’t you think you’ve been coming here too frequently these past few days?” Rumors were spreading in their department that Chi Ming was her boyfriend. Shen Qingyue did not mind the gossip, but this was still a workplace, not a place tor tooling around. How should she put it? She understood Chi Ming’s intentions and wanted to take that step as well, but she still felt hesitant deep down.

Chi Ming complained, “Do you find me too clingy? Do you have another little stray dog outside?”

Shen Qingyue replied, “…Here we go again. You’re wasting your talent by not acting.”

She insisted, “Don’t come tomorrow, focus on your work too.”

Chi Ming could not resist her and reluctantly agreed, but he had no intention of giving up. He decided to take a detour.

On David’s side, after being intercepted by Chi Ming multiple times, he was completely enraged. Since he had no opportunity during working hours, he decided to wait for Shen Qingyue to finish work. Coincidentally, on that day, Shen Qingyue had overtime and everyone had left. David disguised himself and followed the secure passage to enter the building. But as soon as he reached Shen Qingyue’s floor, a hand reached out from the side.

David was almost frightened out of his wits and turned his head to see who it was. He was driven crazy by Chi Ming. “What the hell do you want to do? Why, are you the only one who can enjoy the feast?”

Chi Ming issued a gentle warning, but there was no warmth in his eyes. He was losing control. “Stay away from her! This is my final warning, don’t appear again, okay?”

“Who the hell do you think you are? How dare you warn me?” David laughed suddenly. “We’re all just freeloaders. What? Are you really falling in love? Are you waiting for the young lady to fall in love with you? Shen Qingyue, a divorced used good who even keeps a lover, who knows how many men have played with her? She doesn’t have any genuine feelings! We’re all just having fun and making money. Why do you care so much?”

Chi Ming reached out and grabbed David’s throat, his face turning dark. “You forced me to do this!”

He had managed to keep his emotions under control over the years, but there was always someone who would awaken his past…

Shen Qingyue finished her report and was about to leave when she heard a

scream coming from the stairwell, which startled her. She was worried that it might be a criminal case. She took out her phone, ready to call the police, and walked out slowly, asking tentatively, “Is anyone there?”

Only the sound of footsteps hitting the ground with leather shoes could be heard. After a few seconds, Chi Ming appeared in her line of sight, smiling at her from a distance. “I’ve come to pick you up from work..”
