"Keke, let’s confess about that matter." An Yin looked up, her face flushed with embarrassnt, "Otherwise, between him and ..."
Jiang Keke’s thoughts were pulled back, looking at her delicate and timid friend in front of her, she felt a mixture of emotions in her heart.
Jiang Keke naturally knew what An Yin was referring to. What shocked her was that An Yin still hadn’t clarified things with Bao Shaojin, and just based on this, she felt a bit emotional.
However, once everything is explained to Bao Shaojin, An Yin can justifiably date him. Bao Shaojin is wealthy, and comparing herself, having been rejected by Bao Cheng, the man she’s currently dating is nowhere near Bao Shaojin...
If An Yin really ends up with Bao Shaojin, wouldn’t she be completely defeated in front of An Yin? The smile on Jiang Keke’s face gradually disappeared.
Recently, she often stayed with President Li and secretly heard a lot of news. Initially, when others ntioned Bao Shaojin, Jiang Keke didn’t notice anything amiss. Later, when people discussed him with a hint of reverence, Jiang Keke asked President Li about Bao Shaojin’s true identity.
When President Li told her that Bao Shaojin is a force to be reckoned with in T City, Jiang Keke felt not only frightened but more so disheartened.
When she was with Bao Cheng, regarding his cousin, Bao Cheng would always brush it off with a few words and never ntioned that Bao Shaojin was the president of Bao Corporation.
Perhaps, it’s also her fault for being ignorant, imrsing herself completely in the sweet nothings of n and caring nothing for the world around her.
"Keke?" An Yin saw her friend with her head lowered and a dim gaze, she reached out and gently patted her arm.
"Ah..." Jiang Keke quickly forced a smile, "What did you just say? I didn’t catch it."
An Yin noticed Jiang Keke’s distressful look and thought it must be related to Miss Zeng; she originally wanted to chat about the fake girlfriend business, but seeing Jiang Keke’s lack of interest, An Yin swallowed her words.
"Nothing." An Yin said awkwardly.
At this mont, Jiang Keke’s thoughts were in turmoil; whenever she imagined An Yin possibly together with Bao Shaojin, an irrational frustration welled up inside her.
"Let’s walk around." Jiang Keke caught An Yin’s glance and deliberately pulled a light smile.
An Yin hesitated for a mont, then nodded, "Okay." The things in the mall were not cheap, and since Jiang Keke suggested to look around, An Yin couldn’t refuse.
The two of them looked around a few accessory stores.
Jiang Keke was distracted the entire ti; during the days spent with President Li, she learned how to disguise her emotions. Although her smile didn’t reach her eyes, An Yin didn’t notice.
When they parted, Jiang Keke said a few polite words, making An Yin happy.
After they parted, Jiang Keke imdiately made a call to a man.
After saying a few things, she drove straight to the hotel.
When the hotel staff saw her, they treated her with respect, and from the mont Jiang Keke entered, she familiarly took the room card and headed straight to a certain floor.
While waiting, she walked to the corner minibar, took out a bottle of wine, poured herself a glass, and drank it all at once.
Just thinking about An Yin possibly being with Bao Shaojin made her feel like thousands of ants were gnawing at her heart, unbearable.
After a few drinks, a faint noise ca from the door.
Soon, a man who seed in his forties or fifties slowly walked in, a smile on his face, his gaze lingered on Jiang Keke with a faint gleam.
The man wasn’t tall, and his features weren’t outstanding, giving a first impression of being honest and simple.
"Baby!" President Li tossed the room card onto the desk beside him, his eyes ardently fixed on the young girl.
When he saw the young girl’s cheeks were two shades of crimson and her eyes were misty, his breathing turned heavy.
"Here I am." Jiang Keke put down the wine glass, staring at the worn red mark inside it, she didn’t even spare the man a glance.
"Not happy?" President Li walked up to Jiang Keke, naturally wrapping his arm around her slender waist.
"I ca to ask you sothing this ti." The hand on her waist began wandering, but Jiang Keke ignored it.
"Go ahead." After the man spoke, the next second he lifted Jiang Keke up horizontally and headed towards the large bed.
"Didn’t you say last ti that you were going to attend the Bao Family’s banquet?" Walking, Jiang Keke wrapped her arms around the man’s neck.
"Mm." President Li nodded, his steps sowhat disordered; his speech a bit rushed.
"Can you tell more about it?" Previously, she had no interest in hearing, after Bao Cheng broke her heart, she resist hearing any news about the Bao Family.
"Baby, I have sothing more important to discuss with you right now..."
"What?" Jiang Keke looked up, her eyes widening instantly, "Mmm mmm..."
The room’s temperature rose; even the curtains were pulled at so point, in the dimness, low murmurs lingered.
Half an hour later, the room quieted down, a soft yellow light illuminated by the bedside.
The man sat topless at the bedside, a cigarette perched at the corner of his mouth, a residual desire still lurking in his eyes.
Jiang Keke erged from the bathroom wrapped in a towel, watching the man on the bed smoking, she went over to the minibar and poured herself another glass.
"The question I asked earlier, you haven’t answered yet." She sipped her drink; the mont the strong liquor slid down her throat, Jiang Keke sobered.
"Why the sudden interest in the Bao Family?" President Li chuckled without haste to answer.
"Hmph, say it or not." Jiang Keke feigned indignation and turned her head away.
"Haha, just teasing you." President Li took a drag of his cigarette, the smoke enveloping his eyes, through the haze he looked at the little enchantress afar, his smile deepening, "That day is Madam Bao’s birthday."
Jiang Keke’s gaze showed a hint of complexity.
Seeing her interest in the Bao Family, President Li continued, "I’ve heard that it’s not just a simple birthday banquet; Madam Bao will also publicly announce the engagent between the Bao Family and the Lin Family."
The Bao Family and the Lin Family? On hearing this, Jiang Keke’s breath hitched.
"Who’s getting engaged in the Bao Family?"
"Who else, of course, it’s President Bao!" President Li extinguished the cigarette butt in the ashtray by the bed, lifting his eyes to see the elf-like girl’s face beaming, "Why are you so happy about their engagent?"
"Not at all! I’m just laughing at so people being overly ambitious." Jiang Keke suddenly felt buoyant.
President Li couldn’t grasp what the young girl was thinking, nor was he interested in understanding.
At this mont, Jiang Keke quickly walked over to the bedside, looking at the man with lustrous eyes, "President Li, I want to attend Madam Bao’s banquet as well, is that okay?"
