he empire's borders. Yet, he was constantly under suspicion and scrutiny within the court. Whether he harbored ambition or not, a knot of resentment remained in his heart.If it weren't for the Empress...When Ning Shu and General Qi rode back, they saw Zhao Shao and a few others waiting there.

Just then, I didn't see Master Cheng until after a while, when Master Cheng came back with Miss Lu in his arms. The horse was being led by them, and it squinted its eyes and smiled at them: "I've kept you waiting."

Ning Shu noticed that Miss Lu carried an air of allure as she walked, especially when she got to Qi Jun's side, her shoulder strap slipped down just so.

Miss Lu extended her finger and then pulled the strap up, smiling apologetically.

Ning merely glanced, but his eyes were sharp enough to see a hint of an ambiguous reddish mark on her fair shoulder. Miss Lu was already a beauty, and every move she made held a seductive allure.

He instinctively glanced at Qi Jun.

At that moment, Qi Zong also happened to look over at him. His narrow phoenix eyes held a peaceful gaze, as if lost in thought.

Ning Shu found it strange. Could Qi Jun not be moved by such a beauty Even if he had no feelings for Miss Lu, he couldn't deny that she was indeed a very alluring beauty. It was no wonder that Young Master Cheng always kept her by his side.

As everyone enjoyed the feast laid out on the long table, Ning Shu got up and went to the restroom.

But when I came back, this is what I saw.

He saw Miss Lu sitting in her seat, but her feet were pointed towards Qi Jun.

Ning Shu couldn't help but widen her eyes slightly, a little taken aback.

Qi Jun sat very politely, talking to Cheng Dashuai. He didn't seem to notice anything unusual under the table, but when Miss Lu almost touched it...

The man, however, rose calmly and effortlessly, dodging the foot.

Then he walked away to the side.

Qi Jun seemed to be giving instructions to a waiter.

While Ms. Lu awkwardly retracted her foot, Mr. Cheng seemed oblivious to everything. The former bit her lip slightly, unwillingly extending her foot back out.

Ning Shu didn't speak, he was just surprised by Miss Lu's boldness. Didn't she fear being discovered by Young Master Cheng

Ning Shu walked over and sat down.

But he always kept in mind what Miss Lu had done, and his eyes involuntarily turned towards her.

Miss Lu seemed to lift her face and glance at him, her expression changing slightly, but she quickly adjusted it and then leaned against Master Cheng's arms.

Cheng Dash Shao hugged her into his arms, then teased her.

Qi Jun quickly returned to his seat, and he first spoke in a low voice with the young man, as if the people at this table had not noticed Miss Lu's actions, except for him.

Next, Ning Shu was a little absent-minded.

He hesitated for a moment, but swallowed his words, until he saw Miss Lu seemed to be arguing with Young Master Cheng.

Or, it could be said to be a convenient argument from Miss Lu.

Ning Shu saw from afar that Miss Lu showed an embarrassed expression, then threw away her high heels and turned to leave.

Cheng Dashao still walked back with a smile, ignoring her.

Ning Shu thought for a moment then said: "Miss Lu, are you okay going back alone"

"It doesn't matter anyway, she won't be coming back later," Cheng Dashao said with an indifferent tone.

Ning Shu didn't understand the meaning of this sentence at first, but later he found out that Cheng Dashao was going to change his female companion.

It's possible that Cheng Yun wasn't unaware of it.

Because they all take what they want, Cheng Dash Shao would turn a blind eye to these things. In his view, as long as Miss Lu didn't climb into Qi Jun's bed, he could ignore those little actions.

The premise is that he hasn't gotten tired of it yet.

Once she's bored, Miss Lu is nothing.

......

After returning from a private resort, even though Ning Shu and Qi Zong had some unspeakable things happen again, they didn't cross the last boundary.

Until Qi Jun invited him to a party.

As Qi Zong's secretary, Ning Shu attended some occasions besides business banquets. However, at this particular banquet, in addition to some business figures, he also saw familiar celebrities.

This surprised Ning Shu a bit.

...and he's a popular TV star.

One female star even walked over, holding her skirt, to ask Qi Jun for a photo. 1 Qi Jun politely declined her request. When the young man saw someone staring at the female star, his eyes darkened slightly.

He walked over and said in a calm tone, "Do you think Ms. Ning finds her beautiful"

Ning Shu came back to his senses. He remembered that this female star's name was Liu Lili, and she was indeed very beautiful.

He said, "I remember her. Her name is Liu Lili, and she's a girl group star."

Qi Jun looked at him and said, "It's rare that Secretary Ning knows a star. I thought Secretary Ning liked her face very much because he kept staring at her for so long."

Ning Shu thought that Qi Zong still looked elegant and noble, but she always felt that this sentence seemed a little unusual.

And Liu LILI on the other side went back a little disappointed. She said to her agent: "I probably don't have much of a chance, does Qi Zong really like me Can I really get this endorsement"

The agent comforted her, “You’re the most beautiful starlet here at this party. Not even a single little flower was able to get in, and there’s another one who isn’t as pretty as you, still trying to find a way in outside. Tell me, if Mr. Qi wouldn't choose you, who would he choose”

But soon after, the agent received news that everything had been settled and which female star was chosen. Liu Lili wasn't even considered.

Even the agent was dumbfounded, racking their brains for an explanation.

They, Liu LILI, are the most fitting image. Which step went wrong

....

Ning Shu still didn't know that her casual remark had taken Qi Zong to heart. His task at the cocktail party was to accompany Qi Jun, and when he left, he didn't realize he had been pushed away.

When Miss Lu appeared, Master Cheng was not around.

Qi Jun wasn't particularly surprised to see Miss Lu. Miss Lu was dressed beautifully today, attracting a lot of attention. However, she gracefully approached Mr. Qi with a glass of wine in her hand.

Her eyes were filled with tears, looking pitiful: "I don't know why Cheng Yun suddenly got so angry with me out of the blue. Is he tired of me But I've been with him for several months now...."

Any man who saw it would feel pity.

Qi Jun stood motionless, his eyes downcast. He spoke in a calm and measured tone: "Cheng Yun told you from the beginning, to part ways amicably. Miss Lu should understand."

Lu Miss still couldn't let it go: "Can you say something good for me" She choked back tears, biting her lip and saying, "I heard that Cheng Yun recently has a new woman around...

She also said something about still having some feelings for Master Cheng.

Qi Jun didn't show any emotion on his face, but he still politely said: "I will tell Cheng Yun. Miss Lu, rest assured. As for Cheng Yun, it would be better if Miss Lu could explain it to him in person when you have time."

Miss Lu wept, and then she looked at Qi Jun with deep gratitude.

Then, raising his cup, he gave a little wave and a waiter came over.

She said to Qi Jun, "Then thank you, Mr. Qi. I toast to you. I wonder if Qi Jun will be able to say a few more words to me later It's a bit inconvenient here."

Qi Jun just stared at her as she extended the cup of wine towards him, then reached out his hand.

His handsome face looked rather refined, maintaining a dignified air from beginning to end. The clothes he wore fit him perfectly, outlining his broad shoulders and narrow waist, creating a tall and slender figure.

Just looking at it, Miss Lu suddenly felt a little intimidated.

Her hand inexplicably grew warm.

At that moment, she had a bit of regret. Miss Lu thought about everything before, how every time she tempted this Mr. Qi, he would say and do things to her.

He was just trying to avoid interrupting Cheng Yun's excitement, but it sent a chill down Lu Miss's heart.

Such a man is too dangerous and too cold. It's difficult for anyone to get close to his heart, but if someone were to enter Mr. Qi's heart, they would surely be cherished by him like the apple of his eye.

Miss Lu regretted it. She felt regretful, so she reached out to try and pull the glass back.

But the man across from her snatched the glass of wine from her hand: "Ms. Lu."

Miss Lu came back to her senses, and she just watched as the other person drank the glass of wine.

She was initially filled with regret, but now, a tinge of delusion had crept in. She spoke hesitantly, "Mr. Qi... perhaps we could find somewhere..."

"Qi Jun, however, interrupted her: "It's not convenient right now, Miss Lu. Perhaps you could speak later."

Then he turned and left.

Miss Lu couldn't utter a word. Her eyes widened slightly, and she felt a panic rising within her.

Others may not know, but she was very clear about what the drink did.

Miss Lu just wanted to chase after him, but it was useless. She saw Mr. Qi walk past, seemingly talking to a waiter beside him. After the waiter left, a young man she had led over arrived by Mr. Qi's side in a short while.

Ms. Lu suddenly felt something was amiss.

That feeling of unease kept spreading in her heart, tugging at her thoughts, but every time her mind was about to surface it, it would be pulled back down again.

And Ning Shu, on that side, returned to Qi Jun's side and had a brief conversation with him.

Then I saw Qi Jun stop.

Ning Shu couldn't help but ask: "Qi Zong...."

Qi Jun said slowly, "Ning Secretary, I feel a little feverish...."

Ning Shu was slightly startled, seeing Qi Jun seemed to have a flushed face. He saw this and gently supported him a little.

Qi Jun straightened his body slightly and said, "I'm fine...."

Ning Shu, however, noticed something unusual about his elegant and handsome face. Qi Jun seemed to be adjusting his state, but even with his grace maintained, he still gave away something amiss, especially when he tightened his grip on the young man's hand.

Ning Shu looked and looked, her mind flashed something, she felt like she had grasped something.

So, he couldn't help but whisper, "Qi Zong just went to see who"hang Lin on the other side as well.Ning Shu was stunned, as if she had thought of something. She opened her mouth and asked, "This person, can be anyone What if I choose one between the two of you"Zha...
