MSISAS |Chapter 23 Revealing Intentions

Early the next day, Lu Xianzhi was still asleep when Xu Qing woke up. She had a lot to take care of today.

Xu Qing kissed Lu Xianzhi’s forehead.

She tidied up her clothes, preparing to go to the office lounge to take a shower, wearing the same clothes as yesterday.

“Xiao Tang, bring me a set of clothes.”

After dressing up, Xu Qing sat at her desk and started working.

“How did things go yesterday?”

“Thanks to the surveillance and witnesses, he’s already been detained.”

“But it can only be considered as attempted…”

“Hmm, what’s his position?”

“Vice President of Youxin Media.”

“Vice President of Media, huh.”

“Yes.”

“Hand this matter over to General Manager Chen. He should know what to do.”

“Understood. Should I make a call?”

“No need, I’ll handle it.”

“Alright, President Xu, today’s schedule is as follows…”

After some time, Xu Qing made a call to Uncle Chen, “Hey, Uncle Chen, do you know Youxin Media?”

“What’s up? It’s one of my subsidiaries.”

“Uncle Chen, the Vice President of Youxin Media almost did something ‘good’ last night.”

“Something ‘good’? You’re hinting at something.”

“My girlfriend was nearly assaulted by him.”

“Is that so? I’ll give you a satisfactory explanation. Seems like I’ve been too lax lately.”

“Hmm, thanks, Uncle Chen.”

“It’s my fault. I’ll give you a satisfactory explanation.”

Xu Qing looked at the ended call and silently sent a copy of the evidence to Uncle Chen.

With Uncle Chen’s personality, it seemed this Vice President’s career was about to end.

Tsk tsk, he’d be unemployed once he’s out.

Xiao Zhi, it’s still too dangerous.

But she didn’t want to ruin the things she liked.

So she sent another message to Uncle Chen, “Uncle, could you help take care of Lu Xianzhi? I’m not in the media industry.”

“As long as this kind of thing doesn’t happen again, don’t give her too many resources, or she’ll overthink.”

“Change to a more reliable agent, give her a shot at auditions, and don’t tell her I arranged it.”

“Alright.”

When it came to Lu Xianzhi, Xu Qing couldn’t help but worry endlessly.

Xu Qing felt truly sorry for Lu Xianzhi. Uncle Chen responded very quickly.

Lu Xianzhi struggled to get up, still feeling a bit dizzy, and her mouth hurt.

When she finally saw where she was, memories began trickling back.

Lu Xianzhi’s face turned bright red. She remembered everything. She didn’t know how to face Xu Qing.

Lu Xianzhi touched her lips, “Ouch, so painful.”

Ah, what did I do last night! So embarrassing.

And it seems I was the one who was proactive, but thanks to Xu Qing, otherwise…

Sister Ling would definitely take me to that kind of place again, what should I do, I don’t want this.

Lu Xianzhi got up, walked to the bathroom, and looked in the mirror, “(Telegram) What’s wrong with my neck? What else did I do last night?”

I went too far, what do I do now.

And why would Xu Qing…me…

Lu Xianzhi, wearing a hospital gown, went home. When Xu Qing arrived at the hospital, she found she was gone. The nurse didn’t know when she left either.

Xu Qing had to go home, guessing her mind was probably a mess. Would she find me disgusting?

The more Xu Qing thought about it, the more she felt wronged. But you were the one who was proactive first.

Thinking that Lu Xianzhi might have such thoughts, Xu Qing couldn’t control herself. What should she do? She regretted not controlling herself at the time.

Thinking more about it made her feel more wronged. I just don’t want to be her friend; I want a status.

What to do, the thought of losing her, Xu Qing’s heart felt like it was going to explode, tearing apart, it hurt. Has Lu Xianzhi become this important?

Truly, can’t do without her.

Xu Qing gave a bitter smile.

You’ve already occupied my heart, do you know? You’re the only one around me. Can you not reject me?

Even if it’s deceiving me, it’s fine.

Xu Qing felt terribly upset, afraid that one day she would be all alone. She used to not be afraid, why is she afraid now?

She had clearly prepared for this long ago.

“Xiao Zhi, please don’t leave me.”

Xu Qing lay on the bed, covering her eyes with her arm, a tear rolled down her cheek. Was she more afraid of loneliness or losing her?

She seemed almost unable to tell.

Perhaps losing her is scarier than loneliness.

Don’t provoke her.

I really like you, Xiao Zhi.

Xu Qing fell into a hazy sleep, waking up alarmed in the morning from a dream where Lu Xianzhi left her forever, telling her she was disgusting.

Xu Qing’s eyes were red. Am I disgusting?

She sat dazed on her bed. Suddenly, her phone rang. Xu Qing picked it up, looked at the caller ID — it was Lu Xianzhi — and answered with a complex expression.

“Hello.” Xu Qing’s voice was weary.

“Hello, Xu Qing.”

“Hmm, I’m here.”

“…I have something to tell you.”

“Go ahead, I’m listening.” Even though she had already guessed the outcome, Xu Qing still held some hope.

“I’m sorry.”

Xu Qing was a little shocked by those words. Why would she apologize?

“Thank you, thank you for saving me when I almost…”

“Hmm.”

“Also, um, I…”

“?”

“Do you like me?”

“Hmm? Why do you say that?”

“Because… because.”

Xu Qing, hearing Lu Xianzhi’s flustered tone, couldn’t help but chuckle, feeling her mood lighten. She hadn’t said she didn’t want her.

“Am I good-looking?”

“Good-looking.”

Xu Qing: “Do you like good-looking people?”

“I do.”

“Then do you like me?”

“I… don’t know.”

Xu Qing’s smile broadened, delight filling her heart.

“Then can I pursue you? Give me a chance.”

“But you’re a girl.”

“So what? Even if I’m a girl, I can fulfill your needs.”

“What did you say?”

“Nothing, I meant that many places support same-sex relationships now.”

“But my dad and mom wouldn’t agree.”

“Don’t think about it too much, dealing with your parents is easy.”

“Why do you say that?”

“I’ll tell you when I have a chance. For now, shouldn’t you be considering if I can pursue you?”

“Hmm.”

Xu Qing couldn’t suppress her inner joy, her heart was ready to burst with her emotions. Finally, she no longer had to repress her feelings.

“Then, I will express my feelings, Xiao Zhi, I really like you.”

Lu Xianzhi felt her face flush and her heart race from Xu Qing’s words, actually feeling a bit like she was in love.

“Don’t be afraid, I’m here.”

“Hmm!”

Lu Xianzhi felt very assured for some reason; Xu Qing being by her side gave her a special sense of security.

She couldn’t quite articulate what her feelings for Xu Qing were. Regardless, she was definitely moved.

And Xu Qing was more outstanding than guys, handsome and wealthy, and such a good person — her ideal type.

There was no reason her heart wouldn’t flutter.

She wanted to see what her feelings for her really were.

Yet later, she regretted having provoked Xu Qing. But how could she escape now?
