Tang Zui, however, had underestimated his strength and also overestimated Su Qianxun’s weight. The young woman fell to the floor in a flustered manner after she was pushed by him.

Su Qianxun raised her head and saw the legs of several individuals. She raised her head further, and she could finally see the situation inside the room. Apart from Long Sijue, there were four or five more people in his office.

Long Sijue was sitting behind his desk while staring at her with furrowed eyebrows. Long Aotian looked at Su Qianxun in displeasure, his gaze growing colder and colder.

Su Qianxun was rather dumbfounded. She immediately tried to get off the floor, but her knees had received a strong impact from the fall, so she fell back down before she could stand up.

When Tang Zui saw what was going on inside the office, he truly wished that he could slap himself across the face. He immediately rushed in and helped Su Qianxun up as he said, “Why are you so careless? Go ahead can continue your discussion, I’ll bring my cousin back first.”

As Tang Zui spoke, he quickly lifted Su Qianxun up and ran off. The young woman stared at him in shock. She could not believe that Tang Zui was actually carrying her!

Once Tang Zui had brought Su Qianxun out of the room, Long Aotian said in annoyance, “Long Sijue, I thought that you knew when not to cross the line, but you’re now unwilling to get engaged with Qingcheng over this woman!”

“When did I ever say that I wasn’t going to get engaged to Lan Qingcheng?” Long Sijue sounded indifferent when he asked in reply.

Long Aotian was speechless.

He was angry on the inside, but after he thought carefully about it, he realized that what Long Sijue said was true. Although everyone knew that Long Sijue did not want to get engaged with Lan Qingcheng, it was true that he had never said it out loud before.

“That’s good. I’ve already set a date for your engagement. The engagement ceremony will be held before the election so that it can boost your older brother’s support rate.”

Long Sijue was silent.

“Remember, this young woman is only a tool to you. If there’s a day when she’s no longer a good tool, I’ll destroy her at all costs on your behalf!” Long Aotian left with his subordinates after he finished speaking.

Long Sijue was holding a fountain pen in his hand, and his gaze turned increasingly cold. Si Mancheng walked out and asked, “Jue, you’ve held yourself back for this long. Is it our time to strike?”

Long Sijue curled his lips up coldly. “Since he wants me to get engaged to Lan Qingcheng so badly, I’ll give him a huge gift in return!”

“What do you intend to do?” Si Mancheng knew that this time around, Lan Qingcheng’s behavior was too much for Long Sijue.

“Since they want to play, I’ll play along with them!” Long Sijue suddenly snapped the fountain pen in his hand in half before throwing the pieces into the trash can.

Si Mancheng spent a few seconds mourning the fountain pen. What had this fountain pen done wrong.

Tang Zui only brought Su Qianxun back to Long Sijue’s office after he saw that Long Sijue had left with his subordinates.

Tang Zui turned and ran away after he sent Su Qianxun back.

“I really have too much on my plate right now. I’ll take my leave first!”

Upon seeing that, Si Mancheng nodded to the two of them and left the office too. Tang Zui only let out a breath of relief after he got out of Long Sijue’s field of vision. It was truly such a close call just now.

Su Qianxun was just about to ask Long Sijue if he had taken his medicine when he walked over from his desk. He took her by the hand and dragged her to the couch. He then lifted her legs up and placed them on the coffee table. As expected, her knees were covered in bruises.

Long Sijue furrowed his eyebrows a little. He got up, walked to his desk and came back with a bottle of mist spray.

“I’m alright, have you taken your medicine?” Su Qianxun immediately tried to put her legs down, but Long Sijue held her legs down so that she was unable to move. He opened the lid and sprayed the medicine onto her knees.

“Have you taken your medicine?” The young woman asked again.

“What do you think?” Long Sijue turned to look at her as he asked in reply.

Su Qianxun was left speechless.
