“No.” Li Qianxue rejected him rudely. “Find someone else. I’m not interested in being your female companion.”

Su Chenghui’s eyes darkened, but he was still unwilling to give up. “You listened to my plan. This is just a small banquet. If you’re not willing to be my female companion, then let’s go together that day.”

“Su Chenghui, we are going to go together that day anyway. What does it matter if I’m not your female partner? Also, we’re already divorced. If I appear in public with you, aren’t you afraid that others will gmisunderstand our relationship?”

“I know that we’re already divorced. Don’t worry, no one will misunderstand.”

Ever since Li Qianxue announced that she had broken off her relationship with Su Peizhen in Lin City last year, which one of those people didn’t know that they were already divorced?

“No matter what I refuse.” Li Qianxue didn’t give him a chance at all. “Su Chenghui, you don’t have to think about this. You know how much I don’t like standing with you.”

Su Chenghui wasn’t angry at being rejected. His eyes gentle, he looked at Li Qianxue. For a moment, that gaze made Li Qianxue feel as if he was looking at a willful child who was fooling around.

Li Qianxue was inexplicably annoyed. Her face turned cold, and she unceremoniously ordered him to leave.

“You can leave. I still have something to do.”

Su Chenghui wasn’t surprised that her expression suddenly changed. After the recent few encounters, he had become more and more aware of the limits.

If he wanted to get close to Li Qianxue, he had to be careful not to step over her bottom line. He also knew that she still had a grudge against him.

He carefully controlled the boundaries of this place and cautiously tested it out. He would never give up on Li Qianxue.

Li Qianxue’s expression only began to relax after Su Chenghui left. It wasn’t exactly relaxing. It was just a little less annoyed, but it didn’t really relax much.

She knitted her brows tightly, and a trace of gloom flashed across her eyes.

Su Chenghui —

… ..

Sunday, when Li Qianxue arrived at the tennis court, Wang Tao was already there.

He wasn’t the only one there. President Chen of Urban Construction, President Gao of the China Merchants Bureau, and Li Junsheng were all there.

As the President of Tianyu Group’s Lin City branch, Wang Tao was naturally very familiar with these people. After greeting Li Qianxue, the few of them exchanged some pleasantries.

After Li Qianxue greeted them, she turned around and went to change her clothes. When she came out of the changing room, she saw an extremely familiar person coming out of the men’s changing room opposite her.

Su Chenghui. At this moment, he had changed into a white tennis sportswear. This outfit made him look much younger than usual.

At this moment, if someone said that he was less than 40, there would be people who would believe it. Li Qianxue didn’t have the heart to admire his face, which now appeared a few years younger. She only frowned because she saw him.

“Qianxue, what a coincidence.” As he spoke, he glanced at Li Qianxue. Sportswear suited her very well.

Her bright face was more lively because she had changed into a new set of clothes. His body instinctively took a step forward, as if he wanted to see her more clearly.

Was it a coincidence? This wasn’ot a coincidence at all.

“I don’t think it’s a coincidence. I really didn’t know that President Wang had asked you to come.”

If she knew that Su Chenghui would come, she would have directly rejected him.

Su Chenghui pretended that he didn’t understand the meaning behind Li Qianxue’s words and looked at her with great admiration. “Qianxue, you look very nice today.”

Li Qianxue didn’t want to talk more with him. She turned around and walked out directly.

Su Chenghui followed beside her. He held a tennis racket in his hand. “Let’s play tennis together later?”

Without getting a response, Su Chenghui seemed to have remembered something and said, “I remember that you were the one who taught me tennis.”

Li Qianxue didn’t stop walking, but her face became a little gloomy.

Not only tennis? Su Chenghui’s golf was also taught by her.

The Su family’s family background was average, and Su Chenghui’s mother was only a nurse. Even though Su Chenghui had great ambitions, he didn’t have much contact with these things.

After marrying her, even if Su Chenghui wasn’t very willing, he still had the desire to show off in the Li Corporation.

There were many social events in the business world. In the past, playing golf became popular in the upper class of Lin City’s society. She followed Old Master Li to do business, so Li Qianxue naturally socialized with those people from a young age.

After marrying Su Chenghui, in order to make it convenient for him to socialize with those bosses, she taught him how to play golf.

She still remembered the thoughts at that time. To let Su Chenghui be able to socialize with those bosses smoothly was on one hand, and on the other hand, she wanted to have more opportunities to get close to him.

At that time, she was very naive.

She always felt that as long as she gave put in the effort, one day, Su Chenghui would see how good she was, and he would see her virtues.

She was very diligent in teaching. She still remembered how she taught him the bascis of golfing, like how to swing and how to hit the ball.

Su Chenghui was a very smart person. His ability wasn’t only reflected in his professional ability. He also learned these things very quickly.

In the past, she didn’t understand why, but after a long time, she understood that for Su Chenghui, the most important thing was to use the fastest time to succeed and accumulate his network of connections.

That was why he put in extra effort.

She remembered that there was a long time when Su Chenghui didn’t have much time to rest. All of his time was arranged.

Apart from work, he also learned a lot of other abilities. At that time, she had just gotten pregnant. Although her pregnancy wasn’t bad, it was always more tiring than usual.

However, he devoted himself to work. Not only could she not complain, but she also had to be tolerant.

After all, the harder he worked, the less burden she had to bear.

Su Chenghui had his own study on the second floor. At that time, he often stayed in the study until late at night. For a period of time, she thought it was because he worked too hard and wanted to achieve results as soon as possible.

But later, she found out that it was because he wanted to avoid her, didn’t want to be with her, and didn’t want to sleep in the same bed with her.

But at that time, she didn’t know. She thought that he was trying his best to make a mark in the company.

So she didn’t hold back. She shared everything she knew and learned with him.

Not only her, but also Old Master Li. Old Master Li loved her too much. Even though he knew in his heart that Su Chenghui was not a good match, he still agreed to let her be with him after she got pregnant.

After she married Su Chenghui, Old Master Li did the same as her. Old Master Li unreservedly gave Su Chenghui his connections and taught him his experiences bit by bit.

He was also a very talented person. He continuously absorbed everything that he could use like a sponge. These abilities would become additional tools for Su Chenghui in the future.

He gradually transformed in the upper-class society of Lin City. With every move he made, he lost the initial tinge of youthfulness, nervousness, and the awkwardness when he first entered the upper-class society.

There were many people who laughed at her behind the scenes. She was the heiress of the Li family, but she chose a penniless commoner. One had to know that at that time, countless people were waiting to marry into the Li family.

Even rivals like the Luo family, and the Song family had thoughts about it? Yet, she was unmoved. She only liked Su Chenghui.

She watched Su Chenghui improve bit by bit and succeed bit by bit. She didn’t feel afraid that her power would be snatched away. Instead, she felt proud.

When Su Chenghui became more accomplished and he slowly gained a firm foothold in the Li family, the contempt and sour words from him lessened.

Later on, Su Chenghui completed a few very beautiful cases. After using his capabilities and accomplishments to prove himself, those people’s words became that she had good taste. They said that she was shrewd for finding someone of such hidden potential.

At that time, she was happy. She felt happy that she had good taste and that she had chosen such a man for herself.

It was only later on that Li Qianxue realized that she was ridiculously wrong.

“Qianxue?”

Su Chenghui’s voice woke her up from her trance. Only then did she realize that she had already walked to the tennis court outside.

The weather today wasn’t bad. It was a cloudy day. The court was close to the suburbs. When the wind blew, not only did she not feel hot, but she also felt waves of coolness.

Li Qianxue didn’ look at Su Chenghui. Instead, she looked at the court in front of her.

The few who had arrived early had already left the court. President Chen was on President Gao’s side, while Li Junsheng was on Wang Tao’s side. The four of them had already started playing doubles.

Li Qianxue stood there without moving. She had come out today because of Wang Tao’s invitation, and also because Li Junsheng was there.

As for the land in the North District, it hadn’t been completely decided yet. She also wanted to know the latest progress.

Now that they had all gone down, she wasn’t in a hurry to go down.

“Qianxue, let’s go down as well.”

Looking at her with a hint of eagerness in his eyes, Su Chenghui stood beside her. Li Qianxue looked at him expressionlessly and didn’t move.

The memories she had just recalled made her mood very bad.

Su Chenghui acted as if he hadn’t noticed. “Since you’re here, you can’t just watch, right?”

He had a smile on his face, and his expression was gentle. However, Li Qianxue couldn’t control her irritation at this moment. She had an impulse to smash the smile on his face.

She clenched the racket in her hand, and the irritation in her heart turned into anger. She looked at him coldly, turned around, and took the lead to walk to another tennis court beside the fence.

It wasn’t that Su Chenghui didn’t feel the change in her mood at that moment. Although he didn’t know why her expression suddenly changed, as long as she was willing to accept his words, it was a kind of improvement.

He followed behind her, and the two of them stood on two sides. Standing behind the end line, Li Qianxue served first. She held the ball in her hand and exerted force with her wrist. She threw the ball forcefully into the air, then swung the racket.

The tennis ball flew toward Su Chenghui. He had been holding the racket tightly the whole time. When he saw the ball flying toward him, he was ready to attack.

The ball hit the ground and bounced. Su Chenghui swung the racket. The tennis ball flew past him again.

Li Qianxue was annoyed and hit the ball a little forcefully. Although she wasn’t young, because she had been diligent in maintaining her health all these years and also exercised regularly, so her physical strength was naturally not inferior to that of her peers.

Su Chenghui could sense that she was in a bad mood. Some of the balls that flew towards him almost hit his face directly.

He didn’t know how he had offended her again. Since she had done her best, there was no reason for him not to accept the challenge.
