Li Sitong listened to Han Qiang's words and grinned inwardly. This person really doesn't hold back when confessing. She remembered that on her first day at Guangyu Investment Company, Han Qiang was openly showing affection with his girlfriend in front of many people, but now...
"President Han, you flatter me. I'm not as great as you say. Besides, I really don't want to date anyone, at least not right now," Li Sitong said with a smile, but she felt a bit annoyed with Han Qiang.
Some women are very clever, and as it happens, Li Sitong is one of those clever women.
Since Han Qiang could say such things to Li Sitong today, there's no guarantee he won't say them to someone else in the future. Li Sitong had no intention of becoming another Qin Xianglian.
Seeing that Li Sitong didn't entirely reject him, Han Qiang figured he still had a chance and immediately said with a cheerful smile, "Sitong, as long as you're willing to be my girlfriend, you can choose any position you'd like at our company in the future."
Li Sitong didn't look at Han Qiang but simply said, "President Han, I think you've misunderstood. I prefer to do the job that matches my abilities the best, and for now, I'm quite satisfied with being an assistant."
"Sitong..." Han Qiang was about to say more, but just then, a Porsche pulled up to the curb right next to him and Li Sitong.
"Tongtong!" Li Siqi stuck her head out of the car window and looked at Li Sitong.
Li Sitong immediately said, "Okay."
Afterwards, Li Sitong kindly said to Han Qiang, "President Han, it's getting late. You should head back early. I'll go first."
"Sitong, you should still consider what I said; I believe it would benefit both of us," Han Qiang quickly said to Li Sitong.
Before Han Qiang mentioned "choosing any position," Li Sitong didn't particularly dislike him, but now she really did. She felt insulted.
Li Sitong, who had started to walk away, turned back with a slightly cold expression and said to Han Qiang, "This conversation ends here. Please don't bring it up again."
At this moment, Ye Xiao stepped out of the Porsche.
He wore a gentle smile. After getting out of the car, he walked straight towards Li Sitong, smiling as he said, "Tongtong, why are you getting off work so late today? You know my specialty, braised pork, doesn't taste good if it cooks too long."
"Ah?" Li Sitong immediately turned to look at Ye Xiao in confusion when he spoke, while Han Qiang looked astonished. No matter how he thought about it, he couldn't fathom how someone could have come to make braised pork for Li Sitong.
Han Qiang first looked at Ye Xiao with some hostility and asked, "And you are?"
Ye Xiao replied, "Hello, you must be Tongtong's boss. I'm Tongtong's boyfriend. It's been half an hour since I finished cooking, and when I saw she hadn't come back, I came to pick her up with her sister. Tongtong didn't cause you any trouble, did she? Haha, pretty girls always have their little quirks, but they can be forgiven, right?"
Han Qiang was dumbfounded by Ye Xiao's words. He reluctantly nodded and said, "Yes... yes, you're... you're really Sitong's boyfriend?"
Han Qiang sized up Ye Xiao from head to toe, clearly trying to spot any flaws, but he failed because Ye Xiao's demeanor implied that he was stating the obvious, leaving Han Qiang unable to find any issues.
"What? Doesn't it seem that way?" Ye Xiao said with a smile. "Of course, compared to someone like you, a tall, rich, and handsome guy, I'm sure I'm short, poor, and uncouth, haha. Okay then, we'll be off. Tongtong, let's go."
Ye Xiao said this as he wrapped an arm around Li Sitong's waist and walked normally towards the Porsche.
Li Sitong was stunned. What was Ye Xiao doing? He was openly being so affectionate with her and even claiming to be her boyfriend. What's more, Ye Xiao's words just now definitely misled people.
Looking at Li Sitong, who was already seated inside the Porsche, and then at Ye Xiao, who waved goodbye to him, Han Qiang watched as the Porsche drove off.
"Ye Xiao, what are you doing here?" Li Sitong asked, looking curiously at Ye Xiao, who was driving.
Ye Xiao said, "Why can't I be here? Picking up my girlfriend to go home for dinner, does that need a reason?"
"Who's your girlfriend? We don't have that kind of relationship, so don't just say whatever you want," Li Sitong glared at Ye Xiao, then turned to Li Siqi and asked, "Cousin, why are you with this guy?"
"Didn't you say he was quite nice?" Li Siqi replied with a teasing smile.
Upon hearing this, Li Sitong blushed and quickly said, "When did I say that? I definitely didn't say that."
"Today I really feel taken advantage of. I helped you so much and didn't even get a thank you," Ye Xiao complained while driving.
"You feel taken advantage of?" Li Sitong said angrily upon hearing Ye Xiao's words.
"Alright, Ye Xiao, let's quickly head to Purple Jasmin KTV, or the others will surely get anxious waiting," Li Siqi said.
"Heading to KTV? Who's there?" Li Sitong curiously asked Li Siqi.
"I told you earlier, Coco and a few of Ye Xiao's friends," Li Siqi replied.
"Is it a guy or a girl?" Li Sitong asked.
Li Siqi said, "A girl."
Li Sitong snorted and said, "I knew it."
"Nonsense, what guy plays with another guy these days," Ye Xiao said casually.
Li Sitong thought for a moment and suddenly said, "Ye Xiao, let me ask you a question. If you answer in a way that satisfies me, then let's drop today's issue. Otherwise, I won't let it go."
Ye Xiao smiled wryly. What kind of fate did he have, encountering women who were all like tigresses?
Looking aggrieved, Ye Xiao said, "Go ahead, what's the question? I'm not that knowledgeable; if it's too hard, I might not understand."
"It's simple. If you're already talking to a girlfriend but then you fall for another pretty woman, what would you do?" Li Sitong asked.
Ye Xiao thought for a moment and said, "It's easy. If you like her, just get closer. Maybe you can actually win her over. These days, the cowardly starve, the bold get fed to the max."
"But what if that pretty woman knows you have a girlfriend?" Li Sitong curiously probed further.
Ye Xiao said, "Even simpler. If you like someone, then so what if she knows I have multiple girlfriends? Having many girlfriends just means I'm very charming."
"But what if she says that if you want to be with her, you need to ditch your current girlfriend, what would you do?"
"Are you sick?" Ye Xiao was getting a bit annoyed and said, "Why ask these pointless questions?"
Li Sitong said, "Just answer."
"Alright then. Actually, that's even easier. If she says that, I can responsibly say, 'See you.' Since it was a boyfriend-girlfriend relationship before, it's a kind of emotion. Emotion isn't something money can buy, so it's hard to let go," Ye Xiao said.
"Don't you think you're very greedy?" Li Sitong said.
"Tell me, who isn't greedy? Haven't you ever thought about having lots of handsome guys? Unless you're not normal, as they said in the past, everyone's attracted to beauty. If I love beauty, it means I'm psychologically normal," Ye Xiao said proudly.
"I can't argue with you!" Li Sitong finally said.
Ye Xiao chuckled and said, "It's not that you can't argue with me. Just say you like someone directly. Be straightforward, there's no need for a reason. It's like you're hungry and want to eat; that's a reasonless thing."
"Humph, talking round and round, you're just a playboy!" Li Sitong said disdainfully.
Ye Xiao burst into laughter and said, "Your lips are on your face, they can smack themselves however they want."
"You..." Li Sitong's face turned red from listening to Ye Xiao, clearly out of anger.
But amidst her anger, Li Sitong suddenly thought about Han Qiang.
Both were two people; Ye Xiao had a rogue vibe and always did annoying things, while Han Qiang was very gentlemanly, handsome, and wealthy, a first choice for infatuation.
However, when faced with the issue of liking someone else, their answers were different.
Ye Xiao really isn't a good person, but what he said wasn't entirely wrong. Do you need a reason to like someone? Who said having a boyfriend or girlfriend means you can't like anyone else? Everyone's attracted to beauty, but if you belittle an ex because you like someone new, isn't that a bit unkind?
Li Sitong glanced at Ye Xiao and thought to herself, this jerk, although he has no merits, at least he's a guy with feelings and loyalty.
People's hearts are soft. Ye Xiao saved Li Sitong many times, and each time, he never asked for any repayment or took advantage, only verbally taking a slight advantage.
Li Sitong used to dislike Ye Xiao, but now, maybe not so much.
It wasn't long before the Porsche stopped in front of the Purple Jasmin KTV. At that time, Xia Mingyue's BMW x6 was parked on the side of the Purple Jasmin KTV, with just the right parking spot, so Ye Xiao immediately parked the Porsche there, then got off with the two Li family beauties.
"I've never been here before; it looks pretty nice?" Li Sitong said with a smile to Li Siqi, "By the way, why didn't Feng Yang come today?"
Li Siqi had told Li Sitong that Feng Yang was pursuing her, and she hated him.
"Don't talk about him," as soon as Li Siqi heard the name 'Feng Yang,' she fumed but didn't want to say more.
Seeing Li Siqi's expression change slightly, Li Sitong didn't say anything more and walked into the Purple Jasmin KTV with Li Siqi.
