Don't Say You're Heartless (Modern Edition)

126 Seeing Through

"Qiuhua, whenever you put on that imperial aura of yours, I just feel like offering up my knees. What's going on?" Yang Qiong pouted, looking exasperated.

Shen Qiuhua reached out and poked her forehead. "I see you're jealous. Afraid that I'll be taken by Li Enyi?"

Indeed, Yang Qiong looked guilty, clearly caught in her own emotions.

"Don't worry, I won't take risks. If he were that kind of person, I wouldn't be making this deal with him. He's a smart man, wealthy and young, what kind of woman doesn't he have?" Shen Qiuhua turned and nestled into Yang Qiong's embrace. "Don't think everyone is like you."

"Me? What's wrong with me?" Yang Qiong hugged her tighter.

Shen Qiuhua fell silent. She wrapped her arms around Yang Qiong's neck, and they were so close that their breaths mingled. Yang Qiong felt a bit dazed and swallowed hard.

The woman in her arms had a cool and clear gaze, but Yang Qiong felt a strange allure. Why was that? She felt inexplicably warm, making her hands seem to consciously pull the woman closer into her embrace. The tactile sensation made her feel even hotter, to the point where she wanted to... take off her clothes.

Suddenly, the woman in her arms smiled slyly, pressing her delicate lips to Yang Qiong's ear and whispering, "So, what do you think?"

Yang Qiong's mind went blank. She thought, why bother with the intricate games with someone who's intellectually superior? Following the principle of 'action speaks louder than words', Yang Qiong directly pushed Shen Qiuhua down onto the sofa.

Shen Qiuhua looked at her, gradually losing her smile. Her eyes, usually so gentle, were now full of tenderness. "Yang Qiong, nothing else matters to me. What matters is that you're still by my side."

Shen Qiuhua, now fully adapted to modern life, could live well even without Yang Qiong's protection. Many outsiders thought that such an outstanding and dazzling woman should be matched with a handsome and wealthy man. At least, she shouldn't spend all her time with someone as laid-back as Yang Qiong.

But for Shen Qiuhua, no matter how outstanding a man was, could he match up to her past life's experiences? She had seen women from all over the world, and that supreme position was not what she sought.

In this life, she only wanted one sincere person, to share life's joys and sorrows, and not to disappoint each other till the end of their days.

The words spoken in the past life remained unchanged in this one.

Yang Qiong soon resigned as well. She went to Yuanshan Group to apply for a bodyguard position. Li Enyi, seeing her, laughed and held his forehead. Without even looking at her resume, he hired her on the spot.

Every time Shen Qiuhua looked back, she saw Yang Qiong smiling brightly.

"Will you stay with me for a lifetime?" she asked.

Yang Qiong hugged her tightly. "Not just a lifetime, but including the previous life, this is already two lifetimes." Yang Qiong held up two fingers. "And in the next life, I won't let you go either. We'll have many lifetimes."

Shen Qiuhua smiled enchantingly. She took Yang Qiong's two fingers in her hand. "It's a promise, many lifetimes together. Forever and never to part."

With Shen Qiuhua's assistance, Yuanshan Group quickly began to make moves. As expected, Li Enyi had considerable ambition, and the business expanded rapidly. Yang Qiong was amazed by Shen Qiuhua's extraordinary talent in decision-making, and she felt a bit apprehensive. It was fortunate she never planned to compete with Qiuhua intellectually. Otherwise, she would have been at a complete disadvantage.
