Chapter 94.2

Editor: Jodi

Ji Feng’s leave was limited.

Hence after the signing of the contract, he had to hurry to film the advertisement and then rush back to the drama set after it was over.

When Liu Xiahui found out that Li Qingzhou had chosen Ji Feng, he went to the Li Group Corporation to request for a meeting. After all, Ji Feng had only signed the contract for the filming of the advertisement and not the one for the endorsement deal.

However Li Qingzhou told him that Ji Feng would be given priority consideration for future endorsements, and as there wasn’t much to say after that, Liu Xiahui left not long after with a cold expression.

And that evening, because Xu Mengning was busy assisting in a surgery at the hospital with her supervising doctor, Liu Xiahui, unable to have dinner with her, went to look for Qu Yufan and Qi Hao to have a drink.

However Qu Yufan, as a doctor was also very busy. It was only Qi Hao who was free.

The two of them went to a quiet bar.

Qi Hao poured a glass of wine, looked at Liu Xiahui, then said, “You wanted to collaborate with the Li Group Corporation, but it didn’t work out?”

“En.” Liu Xiahui took a sip of his drink.

Qi Hao: “Why does Li Qingzhou not want to cooperate with Sheng Qi Entertainment? Zhou Ye isn’t much less popular than Ji Feng. What’s more, isn’t working with a star’s studio less significant compared to working with a whole entertainment company?”

Liu Xiahui: “Who knows what he’s thinking? I already made it clear that Sheng Qi Entertainment was willing to relax conditions for collaboration, but he still refused.”

Then after saying this, he took another sip of his drink coldly.

Qi Hao looked at his friend thoughtfully then asked, “Xiahui, are you trying to extend a gesture of goodwill towards Li Qingzhou? You want to make peace with him?”

Otherwise he wouldn’t have gone to discuss an endorsement deal himself and even offer more favorable terms.

Liu Xiahui frowned at his words, however he surprisingly didn’t deny it. He just said, “Mengning and I have spoken about it before…..since she regards Li Qingzhou as her good friend, then we’ll inevitably have to meet in the future.”

“Besides, Li Qingzhou’s relationship with my uncle is a bit strained right now, so me easing up the tension between them could also benefit continued cooperation between the Li Group Corporation and the Liu Group.”

Liu Xiahui’s current impression of the relationship between Li Qingzhou and Liu Bohuai was still stuck in the past.

During the time when Li Qingzhou had been participating in the AI robots competition, he had been busy managing Sheng Qi Entertainment and pursuing Xu Mengning, hence he hadn’t had much energy to pay attention to anything else.

As a result, he didn’t know that Liu Bohuai went to the Li Group Corporation almost every day to pick Li Qingzhou up after work.

He didn’t know, and so naturally his impression of their relationship remained on what he had seen in the past– thinking that his third uncle, like him, treated Li Qingzhou indifferently, only seeing him as an ordinary business partner.

Qi Hao said, “If you plan to be with Xu Mengning in the future, then making peace with Li Qingzhou is necessary. But he’s not accepting your gesture of goodwill.”

“Right, speaking of which, Xiahui, how’s your progress with Xu Mengning?”

Liu Xiahui’s expression softened.

And seeing this, Qi Hao understood immediately. He lifted his glass with a laugh, “Looks like things are going well. Let me toast to your success in pursuit. Cheers.”

Raising his glass, Liu Xiahui clinked it against his.

After downing his drink, Qi Hao continued, “Don’t rush to improve your relationship with Li Qingzhou.”

“Wait until after you and Xu Mengning are together, then with her as the mediator, no matter how bad the relationship is, there won’t be to a complete fallout.”

“En.” Liu Xiahui responded.

Actually, he didn’t care whether he and Li Qingzhou made peace.

If it wasn’t because of Mengning….. where would he rush up to go and see Li Qingzhou’s face?

Thinking back to Li Qingzhou’s ironic words plus that his ambiguous tone when he had gone back to the Li Group Corporation, he became unhappy again.

……

A week later, Ji Feng finished the filming of the advertisement, then hurried back to the drama set. Meanwhile, the advertisement was about to be aired on television and various platforms.

—The limited number of robots that were produced were first displayed in Yanjing’s Auto City, then once the advertisement aired, it received a massive response, achieving the desired promotional impact.

And for this, the company held a small celebration party which went on late into the night.

However Li Qingzhou had already called his little siblings earlier to tell them to rest first.

And when the party was over, Liu Bohuai took the slightly tipsy Li Qingzhou back to the Liu Family’s Old Mansion to stay the night.

And with there being a first, there would definitely be a second.

Liu Bohuai wanted to be with Li Qingzhou at all times, and so naturally he wanted them to have their own private space.

What’s more with Li Qingzhou’s little siblings in his villa, it wasn’t convenient to do things.

And so gradually, Li Qingzhou began to stay the night at the Liu Family’s Old Mansion more and more, with his clothes, shoes, and other daily necessities starting to accumulate, appearing in pairs.

On this day, Liu Bohuai woke Li Qingzhou up with a kiss then holding him as he sat up, said softly, “Qingzhou, I might not be able to have lunch with you today.”

“En? Why?”

Li Qingzhou had been rubbing his eyes, however when he heard this, he lowered his hand to look at Liu Bohuai with a puzzled expression.

Liu Bohuai: “Because today is the death anniversary of my big brother, I might not be able to get back by noon.”

[Ah……]

—The little guy in the bubble covered his mouth, with an expression that said he shouldn’t have asked.

Liu Bohuai kissed his forehead, “Be good, I’ll come and pick you up in the evening. Can you….. stay here tonight as well, to keep me company?”

Usually, Li Qingzhou would stay at the Liu Family’s Old Mansion for a day or two before going back to his villa to spend time with his little sister and little brother.

And if Liu Bohuai hadn’t mentioned it, then he would have been planning to go back to his own place today.

However seeing that Liu Bohuai’s expression was somewhat gloomy, he replied, “Okay, I’ll wait for you to pick me up.”

After Liu Bohuai sent Li Qingzhou to work, he went to a cemetery on the outskirts of Yanjing. Liu Xiahui was already there, waiting, and seeing his third uncle arrive, he walked forward…….
