Gu Qingqing noticed that someone was moving and watching her from the back. So she intentionally put on her clothes slowly. She wanted him to leave the room first. At the same time, Leng Sicheng was brushing his hair with his fingers. After Gu Qingqing put on her clothes, Leng Sicheng was still sitting there and watching her. When she turned around her heard to check on him, she saw that he was staring at her as though he could see through her soul.
There was no emotion reflected in his eyes. It was as if nothing had ever happened between them a while ago. The smell of lovemaking still lingered in the air. Like a merciless beast, the air invaded her body and sadness overwhelmed her within seconds. The two of them did not say a single word to each other. After some time, Leng Sicheng wanted to say something to her. He paused when he saw Gu Qingqing attempted to hold on to the wall with her arms to stand up.
She could not feel her elbows, legs, waist, and arms anymore. However, she knew that staying here any longer was not a good idea. The room was not locked. In other words, other people could enter this room anytime from now. It would be hard for her to explain the whole thing if others saw that she was with Leng Sicheng.
After walking two steps, she could not muster any more strength to move. Both of her legs went soft and she was about to fall on the ground. Suddenly, a strong arm wrapped around her waist and helped her to get back up again. After that, the force caused her to fall into the person's embrace. A familiar scent hit her nose immediately. It was Leng Sicheng that had helped her!
She was puzzled by his move. When she turned around, she saw that Leng Sicheng was still calm as usual. Just when she wanted to say something, Leng Sicheng retracted his arms and stood far away from her. The fact that he had helped her was not something that he would do usually. She thought that Leng Sicheng was being nice to her but it seemed like it was a mistake to change her perspective of him.
After that, she pushed him away gently and walked out of the room in her heels. Leng Sicheng was standing at the back and watched her open the door and walk out on him. She was extremely tired; still, she had to balance with those heels. She had to hold on to the wall because her legs were shaking. A big chunk of cloth had been ripped from her gown. Her exposed skin was like a colorful palette. There were bruises all over it. Instead of going back to the ballroom, Gu Qingqing left the building through the exit near her.
Leng Sicheng stood there and watched her walk into the elevator.
"CEO Leng!"
Someone shouted his name from far. It was Chen Wenjie.
"CEO Leng, where did you go? I have been looking for you for some time," asked Chen Wenjie with a smile on her face.
Leng Sicheng ignored her. After seeing that Gu Qingqing was gone, he returned to the ballroom as well. Everyone was dancing when he entered the ballroom. Instead of joining the dancing party, he went to the bar and drank a cup of whiskey in one go. Immediately, Chen Wenjie went to him with the intention of seducing him to have sex with her.
Just when he wanted to drink the second glass, he heard thunder rumbling outside the building. There were some windows left unclosed and the wind had caused the curtain to fly around. Shortly after that, raindrops started to fall from the sky.
"CEO Leng, tonight…"
Chen Wenjie handed him a glass of alcohol and looked at him seductively. Before she could say what she wanted to say, Leng Sicheng pushed her away and ran to the exit.
