Ning Shu was a little embarrassed by what he said.
But she still looked straight at him: “Mr. Li, can I talk to you?”
Li Yan’s obsidian-like, deep black eyes looked at him without any emotion or color. His expression was cold as he said, “I don’t think there is anything left to talk about after yesterday’s events.”
He finished speaking, and his footsteps moved relentlessly forward.
Ning Shu hesitated for a moment, her neck reddening slightly as she muttered, “What if I change my mind?”
…..
A few minutes later.
The butler placed two cups of coffee on the white table and then withdrew.
Li Yan picked up a cup of coffee, his long legs gracefully crossed together.
He seemed to smile with a hint of mockery.
“Why did you suddenly change your mind?”
Ning Shu remained silent, her heart naturally feeling a bit awkward.
His hands, however, tightened slightly, his fingers clenching together before he lowered his eyes and said, “Because I want to stay by Mr. Li’s side.”
“To get into the Li Corporation?”
Li Yan took a sip of coffee, his expression indifferent.
He, however, was unaware that his own company was, in fact, more appealing than himself.
Ning Shu shook her head.
Li Yan’s eyes narrowed slightly, he put down the coffee, and looked at the young man with a scrutinizing gaze: “Do you have other motives?”
He had also considered other possibilities, but as he said, the young man was just an ordinary person.
As long as Li Yan wanted to, he could investigate not just the eighteen generations of a person’s ancestors, but even every event that happened to them from childhood to adulthood with meticulous detail.
The man’s fingers crossed over each other. “Lay out your terms.”
Ning Shu was stunned.
He fell silent for a moment, his purpose probably being to stay by her side.
But Li Yan was a cautious, even cunning, superior.
If he were to refuse everything instead.
The fact that <<>>
Then Ning Shu thought for a moment and said, “Besides wanting to be by your side, I also want to have a job.”
Li Yan looked at him with an impassive expression: “What difference does it make?”
Ning Shu knew he was referring to joining the Li Corporation. He shook his head and said, “But this job isn’t about working at Li Corporation. Anywhere else is fine.”
On the one hand, he lacked the competence to match his position. He got in through back channels and ended up being suspected by many.
That is not what Ning Shu wanted to see.
On the other hand, since he has already stayed by Li Yan’s side, there is no need to go to work at the other company.
A couple keeps their professional lives strictly separate.
Not to mention he has no connection with Li Yan at all.
Li Yan’s expression was unreadable, his eyes piercingly scrutinizing the young man.
Ning Shu felt a little creeped out being stared at by the man, so she awkwardly raised her coffee cup and took a sip.
It’s just that he drank too much tea today.
I had to put it down again.
Li Yan put his leg down. His facial features were not traditionally Chinese. Too deep and handsome, his thin lips looked a bit rigid and cold.
Especially those eyebrows, as if they were to be inserted into the temple.
The person is too arrogant and condescending.
Even if he just furrows his brow, you wouldn’t find it rude, but rather feel a sense of pressure.
“Are you sure?”
Li Yan said leisurely, “I know you’re not gay, and it doesn’t bother you to be kept by me?”
Ning Shu sat in place.
Mingming’s tone was flat, but at that moment, he seemed to catch a scent. It smelled like a predator about to pounce, its mouth suddenly gaping open before clamping down fiercely on the back of its prey’s neck.
Then tear the flesh open.
For a moment, he was stunned.
Li Yan sat opposite him, his gaze piercing. His thin lips uttered another sentence: “Accompany me to bed every month and satisfy my physical needs.”
It’s like being stripped bare.
Although feeling ashamed, even a little embarrassed.
But Ning Shu still lowered her eyes and nodded gently, “I’m sure.”
By the time he died, he had no choice left.
Ning Shu was very clear, he had died. He promised Lingling to take on tasks in order to obtain the chance to be reborn, he had to lose something.
So he thought about it for an afternoon, which was enough time to make the decision.
Although Ning Shu didn’t know if he would regret it.
Li Yan’s expression was unreadable, he just stared at the young man without saying another word.
Just as Ning Shu suspected that the other party might use this to humiliate her.
Li Yan said in a low voice, “Come to my room tonight and clean yourself up.”
Ning Shu heard this, her body stiffened involuntarily.
He nodded gently.
I don’t know how long I sat there.
He looked at the empty space across from him, then let out a soft sigh.
Ning Shu knew that even if she regretted it now, it was too late.
….
Nighttime always seems to drag on.
The butler knocked on the young man’s door.
“Mr. Ning, this was instructed by Mr. Li to be given to you.”
Ning Shu took the thing in her hand and said thank you.
The housekeeper said, “Mr. Ning, you’ll be a guest here from now on, so there’s no need to be so polite with me.”
Ning Shu didn’t know what this thing was, after returning to her room and opening it.
He was momentarily stunned.
It was a smooth, pearly piece.
…it’s just the shape, it looks oddly embarrassing. …
He doesn’t understand why Li Yan would have someone give him this.
Just as Ning Shu was about to ask the steward.
Zero appeared.
“Host, how did you come to have this?”
Ning Shu was a little surprised and said, “Ling Ling, do you know what this thing is?”
Lingling said proudly, “Of course Lingling knew, otherwise it would be a disservice to the thousands of books read and…”
Zero suddenly realized something was wrong: “Host, who gave this to you?”
Ning Shu didn’t really pay attention to what Lingling said behind him, he replied: “This is from Li Yan.”
Lingo went silent for a moment, then blushed slightly and said, “Actually, this is… where it’s put behind the host…”
Ning Shu listened as Ling Ling explained how this thing worked and what its effects were.
Suddenly, his face turned pale and then red.
Fortunately, he didn’t take this thing to the housekeeper, or else he would have probably wanted to ram his head into the Li family.
Lingling said, “Host, this is a good thing. With this, you won’t hurt so much…”
Ning Shu didn’t speak.
He never thought he would come to a day where he had to sell his body for things.
