37: Chapter 37 Song Xiaodong’s Reminder
“Wife…
what can’t you do?”
But the first to be shocked was actually Sun Dongming.
eting Li Sijie’s direct gaze, his nervous face turned pale, and he said, “Are you saying this project can’t be done?”
Li Sijie’s eyes finally moved slightly, and then she ca back to her senses, feeling her heart pounding wildly.
She brushed her hair and took a sip of water to calm herself down.
Then she said, “Husband, I feel this project is quite risky.”
Sun Dongming quickly patted his chest and said, “Don’t worry.
The person I found has very strong connections.
To others, it may seem risky, but for , it’s the biggest opportunity.
With higher risks co higher profits.
Those investnts with smaller risks don’t offer much profit and aren’t very interesting to do.”
Li Sijie asked again, “Oh, and how much investnt does it need?”
Sun Dongming hesitated for a mont and said, “Well…
it’s not a small investnt, it needs ten million.”
“Ten million!” Li Sijie imdiately exclaid in surprise.
Sun Dongming imdiately said, “Wife, this is a great opportunity.
The returns are so high that we could earn back ten million in a year.”
Li Sijie frowned and said, “But this investnt is too big.
Where do we have that much money at ho?
All our money is tied up in the club.”
Sun Dongming spoke cautiously, “I know that, so what I want to discuss with you is the possibility of mortgaging the club to the bank for a loan.
That way, getting ten million should not be an issue.”
Li Sijie frowned and said, “This matter is just too big, I’m worried…”
Sun Dongming quickly patted his chest and said, “Wife, I assure you that nothing will go wrong.
I’m doing this for our future.
Once I have done this, I’ll have proper work and won’t be idle anymore.
I’ll live a peaceful life with you.”
Li Sijie looked at Sun Dongming, took a deep breath, and said, “Husband, I believe you.”
Sun Dongming was overjoyed and said eagerly, “Wife, you’re so kind.
Rest assured, I’ll make a good showing of it.
Afterward, we can have a child, and you can just stay ho and take care of the child.”
Li Sijie showed a sweet smile and said, “Alright, I believe you will do well.”
Sun Dongming stood up imdiately and said, “Okay, then I’ll go handle this.
The bank loan can be arranged quickly.”
As the door closed, Li Sijie felt as if she had just walked a circle at the gates of hell.
She hurriedly pushed against the edge of the table, the chair sliding back as she stood up in a panic.
But her legs gave out, and she fell back into the chair.
Song Xiaodong crawled out from under the desk, looking down at Li Sijie with narrowed eyes.
Her face blushed hotly under his gaze, making her too embarrassed to et his look straight on.
She said stiffly, “You…
just now, that was too much.”
Song Xiaodong grinned and said, “President Li, I admit I was a bit of a bastard, but in that situation, I think any man would have been unable to resist the temptation of your beautiful legs, right?”
“You still talk…” Li Sijie glared at Song Xiaodong fiercely, wishing she could just find a hole to crawl into.
She had planned to co out and scold Song Xiaodong fiercely, but his frank admission robbed her of her words.
Most importantly, she felt guilty because under Song Xiaodong’s touch, her body had indeed reacted shafully.
At this mont, Song Xiaodong frowned and said, “President Li, I generally don’t want to ddle in your family affairs, but I feel sothing is off about this whole thing.”
Shifting the subject slightly alleviated Li Sijie’s embarrassnt.
Looking up at Song Xiaodong, she asked, “Sothing’s off?
What’s off?”
“Don’t you think this project ca out of nowhere?
And you said yourself, there are already problems in your relationship.
Yet suddenly he cos up with this project and starts being nice to you.
To , as an outsider, it looks like he has a different agenda.”
Li Sijie’s heart skipped a beat.
She too sensed the great risk with the project, but she would rather trust her husband than believe he was deceiving her.
Shaking her head, she said with a serious face, “I trust my husband.”
Song Xiaodong shrugged his shoulders and said, “If that’s the case, I won’t say any more.
But President Li, I hope you’ll be cautious, just in case.
If things end up with you losing both money and happiness, you won’t even have a place to cry.”
Li Sijie frowned but still shook her head and said, “No, he wouldn’t deceive .”
Song Xiaodong looked sowhat helpless and said, “Alright then, if you insist on that, I won’t say more.”
At this point, it seed they had nothing more to say to each other, and the atmosphere beca even more awkward.
Song Xiaodong smiled and said, “Well, President Li, my job isn’t going to be sacked because of what just happened, is it?”
Li Sijie gave Song Xiaodong a stern look and said, “Hmph, I keep my personal and professional life separate.
This won’t affect your job at the club.
But if you dare do anything like that to the students during your work…” Li Sijie’s face suddenly turned red, then she sternly added, “I will definitely fire you.”
“Ha…
that won’t happen.
I really don’t believe I can find any woman with legs more beautiful than President Li’s.”
“You…” Li Sijie was terribly embarrassed.
She raised her hand as if to hit Song Xiaodong but then let it drop.
If she went through with it, wouldn’t that just be flirting?
“I have other things to handle, you can leave now,” Li Sijie said with a stern face.
“Then I’m off, good-bye, President Li.” Song Xiaodong grinned and then let his gaze linger on Li Sijie’s legs once more before turning to leave the office.
“Jerk, now you’re hooked,” Li Sijie murmured after Song Xiaodong sneaked a look at her legs and left.
She spat in disgust once he was gone.
Then, touching her heated cheeks, Li Sijie’s mind was a ss.
It took her a while before she could shake her head vigorously and murmur to herself, “Li Sijie, you mustn’t fall.”
After a while, Li Sijie cald down and rembered the project her husband had ntioned.
Imdiately, the words of Song Xiaodong ca to mind.
She already felt the project was risky, and this sudden change in her husband’s behavior was also making her doubt Sun Dongming’s intentions.
“No, it can’t be…” Li Sijie shook her head vigorously, trying to cast aside the terrifying thought.
“My husband wouldn’t deceive , he definitely wouldn’t.”
After many years of marriage, she desperately didn’t want it to be a scam.
She would rather cling to that tiny bit of hope and believe that it was all real.
