Chapter 6, A Woman Has Her Own Ambitions Like a Wolf
Su Xintong clearly did not expect Cheng An'an to be so assertive, and at that moment, she felt somewhat exposed and deflated. "Could you please convey a message for me, Miss Cheng?"
One might say this woman is intelligent, yet she also acts foolishly. Upon learning that Qin Mo went to the hospital to see her, she could not contain herself and came to visit.
Having said that, seeing her unresponsive, he slowly walked down the steps, "It seems your foot injury has nearly healed?"
However, at the moment he turned to leave, Cheng An'an's smile faltered, and she could no longer smile.
I believe I mentioned to you at noon that you should come over in the evening
Su Xintong subtly informed An An that it was she who could not find him, having just learned that he was in the hospital. She hoped that An An could convey a message to Qin Mo, as her family was hosting a family banquet and had invited the entire Qin family, hoping that Qin Mo could also attend.
In such a night, he lowered his gaze to look at her, seeing the depths and shallows in her eyes, yet he could never know what she was thinking.
"Should we go to the bar?" she retorted, her eyes sparkling. "How about we relieve President Qin's anger a bit?"
Having said that, without waiting for any response from the other end, he directly hung up the phone
Cheng An'an was not surprised that he would ask this question, lazily resting her hand on the edge of the car window, "Isn't this how the entertainment industry is? Don't tell me that after all this time, you still don't know what questions to ask and what not to ask."
He was too lazy to waste words with her, slightly loosening his grip, "Let our six years together come to an end here."
George was taken aback, stammering and unable to clearly explain how Cheng An'an suddenly disappeared
Cheng An'an did not need to go upstairs at all; she saw Qin Mo standing on the stairs, looking at her with a gloomy expression. His brows were deeply furrowed, and his gaze remained fixed on her, the coldness emanating sharply from his tightly clenched lips, piercing directly towards her
This family banquet clearly serves as a veiled announcement of the impending union between the two families, how could she not have thought of it at once
After a pause, she clearly expressed, "I hope that Mr. Qin will deliver to me without omission the luxury cars, mansions, and film contracts that you promised before."
However, if one were to say she is foolish, she certainly did not sound that unintelligent during this phone call
She felt as if she had been doused with cold water from head to toe. Her body seemed to have a hole in it, with a rush of cool wind tearing at her.
Cheng An'an glanced at him, supported herself on the handrail, and turned to walk downstairs
A person was standing by the window, facing away from him. Upon hearing the sound, he turned around, his gaze heavy, "Where is she?"
Thinking of this, Cheng An'an couldn't help but feel a bit wary, "What do you intend to do?"
Since he has said this, he will naturally not go back on his word. He nodded expressionlessly and said, "In addition to this, I will give Miss Cheng an extra sum of money as compensation for her hard work over the past few years."
Indeed, he is about to get engaged, so how could he possibly still be entangled with her
After hanging up the phone, Cheng An'an stared at the screen for a moment, biting her lip in apparent impatience, "So annoying"
Let's wait and see
"It would be better if you didn't say anything. If I accidentally learn some major matters, I won't be able to sleep." Her calm reaction was, in fact, beyond his expectations
Su Qiancheng naturally knew this. He raised an eyebrow and looked at her for a moment before saying, "Aren't you curious about my identity?"
Qin Mo fell silent for a moment, disregarding whether she was willing or not, he took her hand and pulled her close, then supported her as they walked forward, "You have been increasingly fond of challenging me lately, Cheng An'an."
Su Qiancheng noticed her unfriendly expression and pointed to the spicy hot pot she was holding, reminding her, "Be careful not to spill it, you're holding it at an angle."
previously
George was momentarily at a loss for words. Indeed, Qin Mo had something to attend to tonight; otherwise, he would not have allowed him to bring Cheng An'an back. At that moment, feeling both anxious and angry, he said, "Alright, hurry back."
Cheng An'an pretended not to understand, "Only with challenges can one continue to move forward. One cannot live a life of cowardice, always shrinking back, can one?"
She looked up at him in astonishment, seeing his expression as calm and unperturbed, seemingly unable to comprehend why he suddenly was willing to let go. After staring at him for a moment, she realized that her reaction was overly serious. She furrowed her brows, wanting to express her agreement in a nonchalant manner, yet found herself unable to utter a single word.
Coming to her senses, she squinted her eyes as she watched Qin Mo leave in the distance
What Su Qiancheng just said: "It's just revealing to you a background of support for the future, why so serious?" is clearly informing her of what she is about to face
As the airflow around Qin Mo changed, he frowned slightly and was the first to step outside
Su Qiancheng casually handed her a skewer of grilled meat, and when he saw that she had eaten most of it, he supported her as they walked outside, "Shall I take you back?"
Cheng An'an, however, was overjoyed, elegantly curling her fingers as she admired the recently done crystal nails, and asked, "Miss Su, did you dial the wrong number?"
He frowned, "Which ones?"
With a "thud," the last nerve in Qin Mo's mind finally collapsed.
At this moment, Cheng An'an could no longer sit still, looking at him in astonishment, "What?"
At noon, shortly after he left, Su Xintong called her.
The bizarre degree to which Su Qiancheng became an overnight sensation is actually akin to Cheng An'an's rise to stardom. Although she is aware of it, An'an has never had the desire to know more. However, when he brings it up himself, it becomes a different matter altogether
Seeing her become nervous, he smiled with a look of having succeeded in a cunning scheme, "I just wanted to tell you this secret"
Finally, he saw a different expression on her calm face. He smiled lazily, brushed his hair back from his forehead, and with a mischievous grin said, "You did not hear wrong."
Everyone in Qin Mo's circle knows about Cheng An'an. Even if Su Xintong, with her current status, is unaware, there will certainly be some clever individuals secretly reporting to her.
Having said that, she paused and said, "Do you want to tell him yourself later? He is taking a shower."
Therefore, the matter between Qin Mo and himself is not a secret at all, and Su Qiancheng has clearly known about it for a long time
She thought about everything that happened after he left, and suddenly felt that all these events were completely traceable.
Qin Mo had clearly already left, yet she insisted on saying this. Only when she heard silence on the other end of the phone did she calmly say: "Then I understand, I will tell Xiao Mo later."
Cheng An'an, however, could not smile. She looked at the Rolls-Royce parked in front of her and winked at Su Qiancheng, saying, "Rest assured, even if I am kicked out by Qin Mo in the future, I will still stand on the mountaintop and enjoy the scenery."
This woman, she has ambition
He said it himself, and indeed, it was something she found difficult to accept
Cheng An'an was eating spicy hot pot at A when she received a call from George, her nose twitching from the heat.
Qin Mo did not stop her; he simply followed her at a leisurely pace. It was only after she exited the hospital that he furrowed his brow and quickly stepped forward to grasp her firmly. "Where are you going?"
Cheng An'an snorted for a moment and said, "Why didn't he call me? You worry too much; he is busy."
She could indeed tell that he was angry
This damned woman actually dares to lay out the conditions so clearly in front of him
Cheng An'an does not know much about Su Xintong, nor does she need to know, so she is naturally unaware of the details of her family. Therefore, when she learned that Su Qiancheng is her second elder brother, she felt both surprised and as if she had been splashed with dog blood.
The Su family is hosting a family banquet tonight and has invited the entire Qin family. How could Qin Mo not attend? What a joke
She still doubts that she has spent an entire day living in a dream, a dream that exhausted all her strength yet could not contain the emptiness that was momentarily drawn from her heart.
Cheng An'an held her breath, feeling a heavy blockage in her heart
Cheng An'an's words of refusal suddenly caught in her throat when she saw the clarity in his eyes, and after a moment, she let out a low whimper, which could be considered an acknowledgment
My ancestor, when did you go out? Where are you now? President Qin is looking for you everywhere, please come back soon
Cheng An'an blinked her eyes, then opened them again, scanning him up and down, and laughed mockingly, "Why do you have to make me wait here for you when you have a family dinner to attend tonight and no time?"
Cheng An'an is not someone who can be easily bullied. When someone provokes her, it is only natural for her to respond. "Miss Su, this call must have been quite torturous for you, right? Admitting that another woman is closer to your man than you are is not an easy truth to accept, is it?"
This sudden situation did not feel as devastating as the moment when she was informed by the reporter that he was about to get engaged, as if the world were coming to an end.
Cheng An'an, however, was quite serious, "You can handle it as you see fit, but I have no intention of going back to see him tonight."
Qin Mo narrowed his eyes slightly, then his indifferent gaze fixed on her face, "So you went on a date with another man despite your foot injury?"
Seeing him raise an eyebrow, Cheng An'an curled her lips into a smile, becoming increasingly unrestrained in her laughter. "Ah, as for your fiancée, I will be mindful of that," she said. Noticing his expression growing worse, her mood improved slightly, and she continued with determination, "In the future, if President Qin misses my flavor, it will come at an additional charge."
After a while, I finally heard her feigned casual voice asking: "You brought it up first, so do the things we said before still count?"
Having said that, I truly did not wish to see her nonchalant expression any longer, so I turned and left in a hurry, and in just a moment, I disappeared from her sight
Soon, he delivered her to the entrance of the hospital. Noticing that although her face was calm, her eyes were fixed ahead without blinking, and her smile grew increasingly pronounced, he said, "It's just revealing a background for you to rely on in the future, why so serious"
Sitting in the car, Su Qiancheng furrowed his brows and looked at Cheng An'an for a while, yet he could not help but ask, "I have always been curious about who is tirelessly supporting you from behind."
At the foot of Su Qian City, he pressed the accelerator hard. Seeing that she still squinted her eyes with an unchanged expression, after passing a few cars, he finally let out a breath, "I am Su Xintong's second elder brother"
George took advantage of Cheng An'an still recuperating in the hospital and left in the afternoon to negotiate the advertising contract for the American-Iranian cosmetics.
The arrogance in her words was matched by a gleam of arrogance in her eyes, as if no one could do anything to her. Yet it was precisely this radiance, waiting to conquer the world, that stirred his heartstrings, as if something was slowly rippling outward.
When he returned to the hospital at dinner time, intending to share this good news with An An, he opened the door only to find the hospital bed completely empty.
