CHAPTER 109: CHAPTER 106 THE MISCHIEVOUS EVIL ANGEL

"What’s wrong, Xiao Mo?" Long Shangxuan asked, noticing the other party had stopped speaking, and a hint of his concern inadvertently showed.

"Okay, see you at noon," Hua Xiaomo said with a beaming smile, quickly adding, "You don’t need to pick me up. Just send me the address, and I’ll make my own way there."

"Hmm, alright. I’ll text you the restaurant address in a bit. Gotta go, be good, Xiao Mo," Long Shangxuan said tenderly, then hung up the phone.

The phrase "be good" sounded exceptionally ambiguous. Hua Xiaomo held the phone in that same position for a long moment, her gaze instantly misting over.

Brother Long...

At that moment, all the beautiful scenery outside the window seemed irrelevant; her ears and mind were filled only with him.

Suddenly, a flurry of sounds arose from behind her.

"Yu Bao, prepare this document later."

"Oh, sure, President Qi."

"Ms. Zhang, help me arrange lunch with President Wang from Xingda today."

"Yes, President Qi."

"And..." Qi Longbing was giving instructions as he walked into the office. Just then, he happened to see the silhouette of a woman standing by the floor-to-ceiling window. She held her phone, seemingly on a call yet not speaking, just standing motionless as if she had become one with the scenery.

Hua Xiaomo quickly turned around. She subconsciously slipped her phone into her pocket and immediately plastered a stiff smile on her lovely face as she hurried forward. "President Qi, good morning!"

"..." Qi Longbing paused, a fleeting, strange impression crossing his mind as he frowned slightly. She was clearly daydreaming just now. So much so that when she suddenly saw me, the smile on her face was just too fake.

"If you don’t feel like smiling, then don’t. You don’t have to force yourself in front of me from now on," Qi Longbing said coldly. He then walked to his desk, quickly picked up his coffee cup, took a sip, and immediately frowned.

"Didn’t I ask you to prepare a hot one?" Qi Longbing looked at her, an inexplicable anger flaring up in him again.

"I’m sorry. I didn’t realize it had gotten cold..." Hua Xiaomo managed a strained smile. She quickly looked up, took the cup from his hand, and swiftly replaced it with a hot one, presenting it again. "President Qi, your coffee."

Qi Longbing looked up, his deep eyes, like tranquil pools, glinting with a hint of sly cunning. "Who were you on the phone with just now?"

"President Qi, you mean just now..." Hua Xiaomo’s lips curved into a smile, her beautiful eyes twinkling as she came up with a perfect excuse. "President Qi, you said you’d be back in five minutes, but it had been quite a while, and you hadn’t returned. So, I was just about to call you!"

Indeed.

Qi Longbing was pleased to hear this. His suspicion instantly dissipated like clouds, and his sensual lips curved into an elegant arc. "Oh? Really? You really were going to call me?"

Then he extended a long, graceful arm toward her, palm open. "Let me see your phone?"

"..." Hua Xiaomo was speechless for a moment. Her large eyes were hidden beneath her bangs, but that didn’t stop her from seeing just how strikingly handsome and deceptively innocent his expression was.

He seemed like an angel—a wicked angel who deliberately enjoyed teasing people.
