1750: Not Everyone Can Be So Calm

Not Everyone Can Be So Calm

Li Hezheng poured a cup of tea and gave it to Ye Qingkong. "Miss, drink some tea. I can tell that you look very scared."1

"Thank you."

Ye Qingkong took the cup from Li Hezheng and drank some tea.

"I'm leaving."

Li Xing decided to leave the room since Li Hezheng and Ye Qingkong appeared to be having a good time conversing.

"Why are you going home so early? What are you going to do at home? You'll be alone at home anyhow," Li Hesheng said.

Li Hezheng then pretended to be shocked and turned to Ye Qingkong. "Miss, don't tell anyone what I just said."

Ye Qingkong smiled pleasantly as she nodded.

Li Xing was not a petty man. "You don't have to be so careful with your words. It's just a divorce."

"Oh?" Ye Qingkong cupped her mouth with her hands in surprise. "You're divorced?"

"Why? Do you recognize him?" Li Hezheng pulled Li Xing back to the room and seated him down. "This young lady recognized you!"

"I thought he looked familiar when I came into the room. But I didn't think it was really you."

Li Xing has recently been in the headlines.

Unless you lived in a cave and didn't pay attention to the news.

If one watched the news on television, he would be able to catch Li Xing in the news often.

"He's only lifting his finger to help you. Don't take it to heart, Miss."

When Li Xing glanced at Ye Qingkong, he felt she was sorrowful, and his heart sank a little.

"Please have a seat."

"Miss, what's your name?" Li Hezheng asked.

"Ye Qingkong."

"That's a rather pretty name." Li Hezheng then tried to dish out some advice to her. "Miss, the next time you go to a banquet, don't go alone. There are many bad people out there with ulterior motives. A pretty girl like you is easy prey for these men. Not everyone is as calm as Li Xing."

Young ladies appeared to be drawn to guys in their forties and fifties. There was once a rumor that men in their 20s were drawn to 18-year-olds.

Men in their 30s were similarly drawn to an 18-year-old female. Even men ranging from their 40s to 60s would like 18-year-old girls.

In other words, although men would grow old, they would still prefer young girls.

"Okay."

Ye Qingkong cast a sidelong glance towards Li Xing.

She pondered if Li Qingcang and Li Xing were father and son for a time.

Both guys had a strong sense of authority.

The only difference was Li Qingcang's presence, which was as piercing as a sword. To others, it may appear to be quite threatening.

Li Xing's demeanor was much more subdued and quiet. Yet, in front of Li Xing, Ye Qingkong would never do something inappropriate.

Ye Qingkong was staring in Li Xing's direction, which he noticed. Their gazes met as he looked up.

Ye Qingkong appeared shy and nervous, and a bit embarrassed that Li Xing had noticed her staring at him.

Li Hezheng was very satisfied with Ye Qingkong's performance that night.

"If you're free next weekend, Li Xing, we can go fishing."

Li Xing tried to remember his schedule for the following week. "I don't have time next week. I need to keep a close watch on Qingcang's wedding preparations."

"Leave the wedding to the wedding service company. Don't spend time monitoring them yourself." Li Hezheng then whispered into Li Xing's ear, "Is it true that Xie Xuning's daughter has been infected with the X-virus?"

Despite his frustration with Ye Tianxin's situation, Li Xing did not want to say anything negative about her in front of others."

"No matter what, she is Qingcang's wife."
