Let her be arrogant

Yuzhangju.

The light in the study room on the second floor is still on.

Sheng Lanqing went upstairs, unscrewed the door handle, and stepped in.

She stared at Xi Yu seriously and said, "Xi Yu, I don't like my current life at all, and I don't need to receive preferential treatment from everyone."

Xi Yu's eyes were fixed on the screen without blinking. He only moved his right hand holding the mouse slightly.

Sheng Lanqing's eyes couldn't help but pause on his right hand.

The joints are clear, the fingers are slender, and the veins on the back of the hand are slightly exposed when you exert force.

It's really beautiful.

Especially... when grabbing the sheets.

Her face instantly turned red, but she felt even more annoyed. She simply walked over, hugged his neck, and said in a low voice: "Xi Yu, why are you ignoring me? Is the computer as good as me?"

"Pfft" laughter came from the computer.

Then there was a uniform shout.

"Hello, sister-in-law!"

Sheng Lanqing was startled. When she turned around and looked over, she found that the video conference page was displayed on the screen, and the small squares were densely packed with people.

As if she was being burned, she quickly moved away from Xi Yu, glared at him fiercely, and asked silently: "Why didn't you remind me earlier?"

Xi Yu suppressed a smile, pointed at the screen, and said: "I will accompany you later for the group meeting."

He looked at Sheng Lanqing, who was so angry that she looked like a chubby lion cat at home. Finally, he tiptoed out and closed the door gently, for fear of disturbing him.

"Continue to report."

Xi Yu sighed silently and continued the online meeting for two hours before closing the computer and looking through the messages Wen Yu sent him.

Wen Yu: [The entertainment reporters did not interview Miss Sheng today, and many people had some opinions. 】

Xi Yu frowned and slowly replied to the message: [Are your opinions for me or for her? 】

Wen Yu quickly replied: [They only dare to complain about Miss Sheng in private. Do you want to deal with it? 】

The implication is that no one dares to really have feelings for Xi Yu.

Because the gap in status between her and him was too big, it seemed that any kind of cold treatment she received was deserved.

Xi Yu's word "yao" was deleted by him just halfway through typing.

He tapped the table lightly, pondered for a moment, and went through Sheng Lanqing's words and deeds during this period in his mind.

Her desire to leave him was beyond words, she didn't even bother to pretend, she was so ruthless.

It seemed like no matter what he did, she would never look back.

Xi Yu: [Don’t worry about it. 】

She was willing to leave him, but the added value he brought always made her hesitate.

It is easy to go from frugality to luxury, but it is difficult to go back from luxury to frugality.

He didn't believe that Sheng Lanqing could really adapt to the life of falling from high to low.

Xi Yu pinched his eyebrows, spread out the drawing paper in the drawer, and placed it on the table.

Heavy plums hang on the branches of plum trees, and several plums have fallen to the ground.

He looked at it seriously, his eyes instantly becoming extremely gentle.

When Sheng Lanqing gave him this painting, her timid eyes and shy cheeks allowed him to roughly guess what she meant.

This is not the first time Xi Yu has received a confession from a young girl, but this is his first heartbeat.

But, what can he give her?

At that time, there was a lot of internal fighting in the Xi family. In order to prevent him from winning, they used all means. He couldn't even guarantee his own life, let alone give a girl a lifetime of happiness.

She is still so young, she can be ignorant and be carried away by love.

She boldly gave her heart to him when she didn't know him at all.

But he can't. He is seven years older and should make a rational decision.

So he understood the meaning of the painting, but said to her jokingly: "Kid, are the peaches you painted a bit small?"

That time she turned around and ran away, and he stood there for a long time, suppressing the urge to chase her back.

He told himself that she could still meet someone better.

But after a few years, after he completely took control of the Xi family, he finally couldn't help but visit her.

Her facial features opened up, becoming cooler and brighter, far less green than before.

Xi Yu drew the ground as a prison and surrounded her, only to find that she seemed completely different from before.

His cautious tone and coy demeanor seemed to be no different from every woman who deliberately approached him.

He tried his best to save it, but he couldn't.

After Sheng Lanqing entered the study again, he saw this scene.

Xi Yu stared blankly at her painting, pursed her lips tightly, and looked a little sad.

She was stunned, walked up to him, put her hands on his shoulders, and asked softly: "What are you thinking about?"

Xi Yu took her hand, pulled her and sat between his legs, sighing: "I'm thinking of you, you are not as cute as before."

Sheng Lanqing turned around, glanced at the painting on the table, and said in a colder voice: "Do you think I'm not as young as before? You think you dislike me for being old!"

Her uncharacteristic coldness made Xi Yu's lips curl up.

"That's fine. If you want to vent your anger on me, vent your anger on me. That's who you are."

There are still more than two months until the end of this year, and the analysis of the year-end report will determine whether she will have an immediate showdown with Xi Yu.

Thinking of this, Sheng Lanqing asked half-seriously: "Even if I want to break up with you, is it best to just tell me directly?"

Xi Yu's body stiffened instantly, and the arms around her waist slowly and feebly relaxed.

"We just made our relationship public today, and you want to break up with me?"

He was obviously hurt, staring at her and refusing to look away.

"What's wrong with me that makes you want to leave me so much?"

Sheng Lanqing pressed her temples tiredly and said softly: "There's nothing wrong with you, it's just that we are not suitable for each other. It's not your fault."

"Not quite the right personality?"

Xi Yu laughed angrily and said, "We have been in love for a year, and now you are telling me that our personalities are not compatible?"

"Sheng Lanqing, if you are looking for an excuse, you should also find something decent, right?"

"Tell me, where do our personalities differ? Is it in bed or in the bathroom?"

Sheng Lanqing pursed her lips, pushed him away, stood up, and whispered, "I'm very tired today and don't want to quarrel with you."

Her request had been mentioned to Xi Yu more than once or twice, but he just refused to give in and tried every means to get her to agree to his conditions.

At this point, she really has nothing to say.

"Sheng Lanqing!"

Xi Yu grabbed her arm like crazy and asked sternly: "Do you have any conscience left?"

"You were the one who took the initiative to pursue me in the first place. Now you want to kick me away again?"

"You're tired of playing with me, right? So you don't want to take any responsibility!"
