Capítulo 1559: Chapter 1557: Goddess Blocks the Way

“Maybe women are just like this. They hold onto a thread of hope until they’re truly desperate. But now, I’ve completely given up…” Qin Xue said expressionlessly, her eyes filled with an unspoken sadness.

“Actually, you didn’t have to tell him. If she died, maybe you’d have a chance.” Mu Ming reached out to gently wipe away the tear sliding down from Qin Xue’s eye.

“If she has to die for me to be with him, wouldn’t that just prove that I’m really not as good as she is…” Qin Xue laughed at herself.

Of course, she knew that if Lin Shiyan died, she might have a chance. But she couldn’t do that. Although her brilliance was overshadowed by Lin Shiyan, she was also a proud woman. She would not admit that she was inferior to Lin Shiyan.

“Are you still trying to deceive me? I know, Xue. You just don’t want him to be sad. You’ve done so much for him, yet he knows nothing about it. Is it worth it…” The distress in Mu Ming’s eyes was even more apparent.

What Qin Xue said was certainly part of the reason, but the true reason was that she didn’t want Wang Dadong to be saddened upon hearing about Lin Shiyan’s accident.

“Ming, am I really foolish? I know that I’m not important to him at all, yet I still don’t want to see him sad…” Qin Xue, of course, knew she couldn’t hide it from Mu Ming and asked somewhat ruefully.

Mu Ming shook his head and didn’t answer Qin Xue.

There’s really no need to answer this question, is there?

Mu Ming knew everything that happened after Wang Dadong and Qin Xue met. Even she couldn’t understand how Qin Xue actually fell in love with Wang Dadong.

Although Wang Dadong was fairly capable, what he did to Qin Xue could definitely be labeled as a scumbag among scumbags. He even stabbed Qin Xue with scissors.

In fact, in Mu Ming’s heart, Wang Dadong was not even as good as that person who was coming soon.

At least that person genuinely liked Qin Xue and came to Huaxia for her.

Given their identity, appearing in Huaxia was inherently risky.

Meanwhile, Wang Dadong swiftly washed up, even washed his hair, and neatly shaved his beard. Then he put on a branded suit and left Eastern County Villa in a Lamborghini.

Wang Dadong naturally went to look for Qin Xue.

Although he knew it wasn’t quite appropriate to find Qin Xue now, considering he just hurt her once more. But right now, only Qin Xue knew where Lin Shiyan was, so he had to go, even if it meant being humiliated by Qin Xue in all sorts of ways.

Jinding Building, at the entrance of Xueyun Group on the nineteenth floor.

“Wang Dadong, don’t do this. President Qin won’t see you.” Pei Xi, wearing professional attire with black stockings, looked at the man in front of her with a troubled face.

“Please, Goddess Pei, just help me this once, okay?” Wang Dadong clasped his hands together and looked at Pei Xi with pleading eyes.

Wang Dadong wanted to enter Xueyun to find Qin Xue but was stopped by Goddess Pei at the door.

Although Xueyun Group and Shiyan Group were both on the nineteenth floor, they were divided into two areas, each with a password door. Without knowing the password, one couldn’t get in.

In reality, a password door couldn’t stop Wang Dadong, but with Pei Xi added into the mix, he found it a bit difficult to proceed.

“It’s truly impossible. President Qin specifically instructed today not to let you set foot in Xueyun Group.” Pei Xi used her graceful form to block the password lock, steadfastly preventing Wang Dadong from entering.

“Ahem, Goddess Pei, with our good relationship, help me out this once. I’ll do anything for you, even if it means being your horse or ox!” Wang Dadong assured, patting his chest.

“Who’s asking you to be my horse or ox!” Pei Xi glared at Wang Dadong annoyingly.

This guy, still the same as before; his words never serious. You being my horse or ox – I might end up grazing you!

“Goddess Pei, I’m begging you.” This fellow even started acting helpless, clinging to Pei Xi’s arm, acting spoiled.

Pei Xi immediately felt a tremendous pressure. Although this was the nineteenth floor, people were still coming and going, with at least five or six security guards. Wang Dadong pulling and tugging her was completely inappropriate…

In fact, people had already started whispering.

“Look, isn’t that Manager Wang from Shiyan Group? What’s he doing pulling and tugging with Secretary Pei?”

“Yeah, rumor had it that Secretary Pei is loose with many leaders. Looks like it’s true, hooking up with Shiyan Group’s manager.”

“Nonsense. Did you forget? Wang Dadong isn’t just a manager. He’s the hidden owner of Shiyan Group.”

“Bastard, he even has President Lin, such a beautiful wife, and he still comes to flirt with our Goddess Pei! Can’t he leave some soup for us?”

“Cut it out. Do you also want to sip Secretary Pei’s soup? She’s the president’s secretary. Even if she’s blind, she won’t pick you.”

“Can’t I fantasize a little? You can insult my dream of pursuing a goddess, but you can’t stifle my beautiful imagination!”

Although Pei Xi couldn’t hear what everyone was saying, being watched by so many was really overwhelming.

As for this guy, isn’t he afraid of gossip?

If anyone should be afraid of gossip, it should be Wang Dadong, right?

She’s merely a president’s secretary, basically just an employee, at most losing her job.

But Wang Dadong is practically the half-owner of Shiyan Group, and also that woman’s husband. If rumors spread, the entire Shiyan Group might be affected.

“Wang Dadong, I’m begging you, please let go of me, okay?” Pei Xi was utterly helpless now, previously it was Wang Dadong begging her, now she was pleading with Wang Dadong.

At this moment, Pei Xi’s face felt like a blazing cloud, and she couldn’t help but think of what happened in the hotel that day.

To help Wang Dadong chase away Lv Xiaoqian, she didn’t hesitate to take off her clothes one by one.

In the end, only a little innerwear was left on her body. Of course, she covered her chest with her hand. But she realized that Wang Dadong wanted Lv Xiaoqian to leave because he didn’t want her to lose her soul over some things.

A man letting go of what’s already in his grasp is definitely not an easy thing to do.

So, at that moment, Pei Xi released the hand covering her chest without hesitation, willing to show everything to this man.

She thought for sure something beyond friendship would happen, but Wang Dadong just leaned on her and smoked a cigarette before leaving.

Although nothing happened in the end, she had, after all, bared herself in front of Wang Dadong.
