Chapter 267: Chapter 267: Heaven Owes a Si Chenli!

After the proposal that day, Sang Qiao often found it hard to concentrate while sitting in her office, her gaze unconsciously drifting toward the box containing the diamond ring.
For the first ti, she experienced an emotion called: not knowing what to do.
So much so that when ng Jiahe knocked several tis, she didn’t respond until the door was pushed open.
“Qiaoqiao, I knocked several tis, why didn’t you respond? I thought sothing might have happened.”
“I didn’t hear, what’s up?” Sang Qiao shifted her gaze from the ring box.
ng Jiahe naturally noticed Qiaoqiao’s previous focus and looked at her with a suggestive expression, “Still worried? You could totally wear the ring now.”
Sang Qiao raised her eyelids to look at ng Jiahe.
ng Jiahe chuckled, pulled over a stool, and sat next to Sang Qiao’s sofa chair.
“Never mind what I said. Boss Si is such a good person, what are you still worried about? You’d be the official Mrs. Si, if it were , not just the official wife, I’d even be a mistress if that were on offer.”
Sang Qiao’s lips twitched as she was amused by ng Jiahe’s words, and she glanced at the ring box.
“The shift in identity makes uncomfortable, and I don’t even know what I’m worried about.”
“Why uncomfortable? Whether you’re his girlfriend or his wife, he will love you and treat you well. Even if you say you don’t want to live in his villa because the feng shui is off, he’d surely comply and buy another one or live at your place.”
ng Jiahe sincerely hoped Qiaoqiao could be happy. She had already had enough hardship in her early life, and missing out on Si Chenli would be too regrettable.
“That makes sense.” Sang Qiao felt a sudden clarity, as if nothing would change even if she got married.
“I think no matter what you ask for, he will agree. He is very patient with you and spoils you a lot. Perhaps it’s also because of these traits that he stood out among many suitors. After the Sang Family incident, I noticed you lost enthusiasm for many things. But Si Chenli is different. He doesn’t need you to love him deeply, as long as you are by his side, he will wholeheartedly treat you well and only you. I believe he can help you overco your past.”
ng Jiahe felt envious of her own words. Finding soone who loves you is hard enough, let alone soone like Si Chenli who loves you without expecting anything in return.
She really hoped Sang Qiao could fully step out of the shadows of the past.
Qiaoqiao now looked untroubled, but ng Jiahe knew it was different, sothing was still missing.
“Ah He, thank you.” Sang Qiao picked up the ring box and stood up, patting ng Jiahe on the shoulder.
“Wait, don’t rush, let tell you one last thing.” ng Jiahe grabbed Sang Qiao’s hand.
Sang Qiao: “Go ahead.”
“Jiang Chaoyuan is doing great, ranking seventh in the second round of advancent. Moreover, Liao Liao said he’s still not playing his full hand, still playing coy especially after you warned him not to tank too obviously.”
ng Jiahe couldn’t help but want to laugh as she spoke. She had been following this boy band reality show whenever she had ti.
Especially that Chen Ling, truly her type of younger brother. She didn’t let Liao Liao know that she, a deputy general manager at Rose Entertainnt, was voting and supporting a boy from another company.
“Not bad, his debut is secure.” Sang Qiao nodded, thinking that next ti she would still need to push him to unveil his full capabilities to vie for this debut ranking.
“That’s right, he even thought about jumping over the wall to escape when he saw his ranking, hahaha, but the staff caught him right there, and the video of him clinging to the door made rounds online, everyone found it hilarious.”
ng Jiahe had also watched that video several tis, loving Jiang Chaoyuan’s look of desperation.
“Pfft.” Sang Qiao also grinned, recently she had been so preoccupied with things concerning Si Chenli that she hadn’t kept up with these events.
She looked down at ng Jiahe’s hand, which hadn’t yet been released. “Is there anything else you haven’t said?”
“Qiaoqiao! You prioritize romance over friendship; I know you’re in a hurry to go, just go.”
ng Jiahe let go of Sang Qiao’s arm.
Sang Qiao: “I’ll treat you to candy next ti.”
“Hmph.” ng Jiahe watched Sang Qiao leave with a proud expression.

Si Group
Sang Qiao arrived downstairs and hesitated a bit, thinking whether she should go back and organize her speech before coming again. However, the receptionist inside had been highly vigilant these past few days.
Soon, one of the receptionists dashed toward the entranced Sang Qiao, while another inside was already on the phone to upstairs.
The receptionist who ca out: “Miss Sang Qiao, you’re here to see Mr. Si, right? Let take you up.”
“No, I…” Sang Qiao faltered.
“It’s on the way, right? No worries, why don’t you co in and see your boyfriend?”
The receptionist continued with a smile, regardless of the reason, they dared not let Miss Sang Qiao leave just like that. Ever since the proposal day, Mr. Si had ordered that if Miss Sang Qiao ca, they were to notify him imdiately.
Seeing that several days had passed with no updates, the atmosphere in the entire company was very tense.
“Miss Sang Qiao, Mr. Si will be down soon; he asked you to wait in the lounge,” said the receptionist who had made the call, smiling broadly.
The two receptionists acted as if they were afraid Sang Qiao would run away, attracting extra looks from passersby.
Hearing that Si Chenli was coming down, Sang Qiao couldn’t walk away. She reluctantly followed the receptionist inside. “Okay.”
The elevator door opened just in ti, and a tall, impressive figure erged—Si Chenli walked toward them, feigning ignorance, “Here to see ?”
“Yes.” Sang Qiao nodded, her hands tucked into the pockets of her short black wool coat, clutching the box and thinking she’d wait until there were fewer people around to speak.
She withdrew her hands, unconsciously curling them.
“Co upstairs and sit for a bit, I’m about to finish work,” Si Chenli reached out and took the young girl’s hand, leading her upstairs.
“Okay.” Sang Qiao let the man lead her into the elevator.
The two receptionists watched the scene behind them, eyes brimming with tears—they thought their CEO was incredibly manly yet gentle and considerate, so outstanding yet so insecure.
This deanor of fearing rejection after proposing and personally coming down to et her moved them to tears.
They felt like they deserved a CEO too!
In the CEO’s private elevator
Sang Qiao stood to the side, unable to resist sneaking glances at Si Chenli. His expression was normal; if he hadn’t co down personally to et her, she couldn’t tell he was nervous at all.
The girl’s frequent glances made it hard for the man not to notice. He smiled and took a step toward her, lightly brushing her cheek with his palm.
Si Chenli’s voice was low and soft, exceptionally clear in the sealed elevator.
“Qiaoqiao, there’s no need to be so cautious. Even if you don’t agree, we’re still boyfriend and girlfriend, and nobody said a proposal can be made only once.”
