Xia Wanqing reminded him in a feigned indifference, maintaining her calmness on the surface, but in her heart, she was still in a state of hopeless chaos.
He had this inexplicable influence on her.
As soon as he comes close to her, his strong sense of presence will make her at a loss.
She was like a frightened cat, obviously uncomfortable.
Feeling that his eyes were always on her face, she couldn't stand it anymore. She looked away and coughed, "Mr. Li, it's not easy to ask the people on the board of directors to wait for you."
"Are you afraid of me?"
He asked suddenly and the answer was wrong.
Wan Qing frowned, "Why am I afraid of you."
"Then why don't you dare to look at me and why are you so nervous?"
He could tell that she seemed to be tensing up at this moment, wishing she could huddle herself in a corner, wishing she could keep some distance from him.
Aren't you afraid of him?
Do you hate him?
He frowned and asked again, "Does that mean you hate me?"
Xia Wanqing felt that being trapped by him in this small corner was quite oppressive.
She even found it difficult to breathe...
I felt even more uncomfortable all over.
She leaned back and swallowed nervously, "Mr. Li, I am not afraid or disgusted with you. Please take your hands away."
"you are lying."
He said firmly, and then deliberately leaned down to get closer to her.
She was so frightened that she immediately straightened her back and ducked back. Her heart was so nervous that she almost jumped out of her chest.
His breath seemed to caress her face deliberately, and the refreshing scent of him occupied her breath, which was all his scent.
Xia Wanqing was already thin-skinned, and her face was already stained with a slight blush.
However, he seemed to be satisfied with her reaction;
A hint of smile flashed across his eyes, he curved his lips, deliberately approached her ear and said, "Miss Xia seems to have forgotten something."
"So... I just want to help you."
As he spoke, he reached out and unbuckled her seat belt with a snap.
She was stunned for a moment, then realized that she was in a hurry to leave without even unfastening her seat belt.
And he had let go of her, returned to his seat, looked at her with a smile, "Go up, I'm looking forward to your performance in a while."
Wan Qing's face felt slightly hot, but she politely thanked her before opening the door and leaving.
He said he was looking forward to her performance at the meeting?
Looking forward to her work?
She saw that he wanted to cause trouble for her again...
Xia Wanqing walked into the company quickly. She had to sort out her things before going to the meeting.
Xia Wanqing stood in front of the display screen, showing her works one by one, telling her design concepts and future sales prospects.
This time, she has done enough homework and just hopes to be recognized by everyone.
"Please take a look at this design. In fact, no matter how popular the clothing is, retro style will always be a classic. This design of mine continues the retro concept... I believe it will be loved by many consumers."
She spoke confidently, and the moment she raised her eyes with a smile, she met Li Kangmu's gaze.
At this moment, he was sitting on the sofa and seemed to be listening to her very seriously, but his eyes were shining with smile and appreciation.
It's true to appreciate...
Once upon a time, he had seen her like this.
At that time, it seemed that he also approved her stuff and even rejected Lin Weian's idea.
She was extremely surprised at that time, and at the same time she sincerely thanked him.
After all, that was the first time she had the opportunity to come into contact with such a case and have the opportunity to present her own things to everyone...
His affirmation and encouragement gave her a lot of confidence.
She thought, that's how she fell in love with him...
It penetrated into her life little by little...
There had been false warmth, but at that time she was too stupid to believe it.
Xia Wanqing looked away and continued to talk.
However, her heart could not calm down anymore
For some reason, she always felt that his burning gaze stayed on her face.
Follow her like a shadow.
Li Kangmu looked at her standing on it. Different from her previous greenness, she was like a sparkling diamond, shining with her unique light.
Now she is no longer the Xia Weiyang who was always nervous and overwhelmed when standing on top.
At that time, she still needed his encouragement...
She needs his affirmation, needs him to be by her side and tell her what to do.
But now, she doesn't seem to need it anymore
She has become mature and has her own career.
He should be happy, right?
But why, there is sadness and loss in my heart.
His Weiyang no longer needs his guidance and has her own charm in a graceful manner...
Such a change really made him feel a little disappointed.
On the contrary, he hoped that she would still need her as much as before.
She always worked so hard on design work. He still remembered that when they first got together, she would often hide in the attic upstairs to draw her designs. At that time, she had no audience.
She didn't have the opportunity to show her work to anyone, but she still worked tirelessly.
Sometimes, when he comes back and sees her caring side, he will lose his mind.
Who says men who work hard are the most attractive?
In his opinion, women are.
His Weiyang's confident smile and the joy that blends into her work are also the most beautiful.
At first, he would wonder that for a little unknown model, her things might never have a chance to be worn by a model in her life, and there was no need for her to insist on it. Although they were just using each other at the time, he was very interested in money.
She was not treated badly.
However, she didn't ask for any of the money he gave her.
As his nominal wife, she has never even been to a luxury store.
If it were any other woman, she would definitely seize this opportunity, buy what should be bought, and calculate what should be calculated.
But she didn't
She used her stubbornness to change his view of her...
She impressed him time and time again, and made him realize he was wrong time and time again.
However, they still made it this far.
His younger brother's sudden departure was something he couldn't accept at the time.
Coupled with Wei An's matter, he...
When I think of the past, I feel guilty again.
Li Kangmu looked at her, hoping he could have a chance to make amends.
But she didn't give him a chance...
Wan Qing looked at the shareholders and executives below with a smile, "The above is all my design this time. If there are any deficiencies, everyone can point it out."
The shareholders present were obviously very satisfied and were already smiling and applauding.
Li Kangmu curled up his lips and applauded slowly.
Seeing him clapping, Wan Qing was a little surprised.
She thought he would raise some difficult questions to embarrass her.
Or maybe completely deny her stuff...
At the end of the meeting, everyone left one after another and gave Wan Qing some compliments. She responded with a smile until everyone left.
She and Li Kangmu were the only ones left in the conference room.
Wan Qing holds the documents and prepares to leave.
However, he blocked the door.
She obviously wanted to step on his foot, but she still endured it.
She smiled at him and said, "Mr. Li, do you have any other instructions?"
She smiled so strangely, as if there really was nothing more between them than the relationship of listed subordinates.
"Nothing, I just want to tell you that the design is very good."
He curled his lips in praise.
Wan Qing looked at him and couldn't help but think of the bet between them.
She thought he was cheating.
If he kept denying her things, she would have no way to get the clothes on the market, and it would be impossible to win.
However, it seems that she is overthinking.
He did not cheat.
So last time, he said her stuff was substandard, was that a sincere suggestion?
Would he be so kind?
Xia Wanqing's opinion of him seemed to have changed slightly, but she still reminded herself not to trust him too easily.
This man was as cunning as a fox, and his palace was so deep that she was no match for him.
"Thanks."
Politeness is her current attitude towards him.
Because she would only do this to strangers...
Li Kangmu pursed his lips and continued, "Get ready. There is a dinner party at noon. You can go with me."
"I do not……"
"Must go!" He interrupted her, as if he knew what she wanted to say.
Li Kangmu's attitude was firm, "As the chief designer, you have no reason to refuse, do you understand?"
His attitude is serious and serious, as if it is really about work.
Since it has something to do with work, Xia Wanqing can no longer shirk it, so she has no choice but to agree, "How can I prepare if you stop me now and won't let me leave?"
Li Kangmu raised his lips and said, "I'll wait for you down there."
He said before turning around and leaving.
She looked at his walking back and couldn't help but feel lonely in her heart.
As long as she is with him for a second, she will remember all the past.
In fact, she is afraid to face the past.
She was afraid to admit that her mother's death was actually her fault...
If it weren't for her, how could Li Kangmu confine his mother, and how could the subsequent tragedy happen?
And how could their child leave her?
She had no way to face it, no way to forgive him, and no way to forgive herself...
My heart feels like being cuffed tightly by heavy shackles.
Tangled around it were circles of guilt, like vines tightly wrapped around her heart, making her breathless.
