Chapter 27: I've Been Wanting to Hit You for a Long Time

Li Jiuwei lay in bed feigning sleep, the low laughter of Feng Su echoing in her ears.

It was a sound that could seduce the soul.

Gradually, Li Jiuwei drifted off. Last night, she had barely rested.

When she awoke again, hazy and slow, the first thing she saw was the man above her. His brows and eyes were thick with passion. “Sister… let’s continue…”

“Feng Su, you really are—mmph—” less than a beast.

Three years in their love nest, doing all that lovers do, never tiring of it.

When she woke up once more, it was already noon. She had been thoroughly cleansed. After Li Jiuwei finished washing up, she went downstairs.

Feng Su, feeling refreshed, was flipping a pan, cooking.

Li Jiuwei stared at his back in a daze.

For a moment, she felt disoriented.

“Time to eat, Weiwei.”

Feng Su had already noticed her, carrying the dishes and sitting across from her. Li Jiuwei was lost in thought.

“Weiwei? What are you thinking about?”

“I was thinking, the dignified crown prince of the capital, hands worth millions, actually cooks for me. What have I done to deserve this?”

Feng Su curled his lips. “So, Weiwei, you must treat me well in the future. Otherwise, losing me will be your loss.”

Li Jiuwei laughed softly. At once, Feng Su’s expression grew serious. He said, “Last night you promised to be my girlfriend. You can’t go back on your word.”

“You… eat your food.”

In that situation, if he had asked for the moon, she would have found a way to pluck it for him.

Feng Su moved to sit beside her, the sharpness in his eyes softened considerably.

His gaze was so focused.

“I’ve already agreed. I won’t go back on my word.”

His smile deepened. He picked out dishes for her, and Li Jiuwei could feel the sincerity in Feng Su’s affection.

Perhaps, she could believe in him once more.

Li Jiuwei watched Feng Su’s profile, silently wishing: I hope you won’t let me down.

After the meal, Feng Su gave her the Feng Group’s jewelry exhibition. She glanced at him and asked, “A night’s sleep in exchange for a resource?”

“I was angry yesterday. This is a gift for my girlfriend.”

“So, can I dispose of it as I please?”

Feng Su’s eyes darkened for a moment. At that instant, Li Jiuwei sensed deeply that this crown prince had a mind far from simple.

“What I give to Weiwei, she can do with as she wishes—even turn it into her own resource.”

She met Feng Su’s gaze and raised her eyebrows slightly.

In that case, she wouldn’t hold back!

After sharing her idea with Shen Tang, her best friend gave her enthusiastic approval—so much so that Shen Tang ran over to see her in excitement.

“Weiwei, you should have left Jiang Group long ago. You kept your promise to Old Master Jiang for so many years, but you have done more than enough. Whatever happens to Jiang Group in the future, it’s the Jiang family’s problem.”

“My resignation was planned long ago. Now I have the opportunity and confidence.”

“I get why you wanted Yu Ruonan at Jiang Group now,” Shen Tang said, slapping her forehead in sudden realization.

The three of them in one company would surely be chaos.

“They caused me so much pain—I will take my revenge. Li Xinchun thinks Jiang Huaiting loves her so deeply, but I want to see if it’s true love.”

“Sister, you’re amazing.”

Li Jiuwei said, “Tang, I’ll have to trouble you with the studio.”

“I’ll get it done soon, don’t worry. I’ll dig up plenty of resources and clients for you.”

“My Tang is always the best.”

Shen Tang hugged Li Jiuwei’s shoulders.

Li Jiuwei was preparing to establish a new company and studio. Today, she was set to resign from Jiang Group.

Upon arriving, she noticed Yu Ruonan’s desk was empty.

She knocked on Jiang Huaiting’s office door. Yu Ruonan emerged, her gaze falling on the buttons of her blouse.

“Wrong!” Yu Ruonan bowed her head, flustered, and hurried away.

Inside, Jiang Huaiting showed no embarrassment at being caught. He stared at Li Jiuwei, his eyes blazing. “Why are you resigning?”

“I find you all an eyesore.”

Just as Jiang Huaiting’s mouth was about to utter something narcissistic, Li Jiuwei’s tone was cool. “I’ll leave by noon.”

“The company just started collaborating with Feng Group. You’re the main person in charge. If you leave, Feng Group may object.”

“With Li Xinchun and Yu Ruonan, you won’t be disappointed. That’s all—farewell!”

Before leaving, Li Jiuwei glanced back, mocking Jiang Huaiting. “Do you know which animal isn’t picky about food? Dogs.”

A dull thud sounded behind her.

News of Li Jiuwei’s resignation had already reached Liu Ruyan. She didn’t try to stop her, but asked, “Are you sure?”

“Yes, I’ve thought it through.”

“That’s good. Jiang Huaiting is an idiot—not worthy of you. You’ve helped him so much; you’ve done all you could. If not for your promise to Old Master Jiang… With your talent, you should have started your own business long ago. Jiuwei, be bold. You’ll surely achieve great things.”

“Thank you for your blessings.”

They shared a smile.

“And you?”

Liu Ruyan sighed. “He’s my aunt’s son. Now the Jiang family is down to just my aunt and Jiang Huaiting. I can’t disregard my aunt. Besides, Jiang Group is part of my efforts. With me watching over it, it won’t change hands so quickly.”

“Ruyan, if you face hardship, come to me any time.”

“Hehe, okay.”

News of Li Jiuwei’s resignation had spread through the design department.

Zhang Bing was reluctant to see her go. Li Jiuwei had always appreciated her work ability.

Before leaving, Li Jiuwei offered Zhang Bing an opportunity. How she chose would be up to her.

Li Xinchun followed Li Jiuwei, silent along the way. Li Jiuwei kept her composure.

Seeing Li Jiuwei had no intention of acknowledging her, Li Xinchun couldn’t hold back, striding ahead to block her path. She stared at Li Jiuwei’s striking face, lips pressed tight. “Sister, are you trying to play hard to get?”

“The eyes reflect the heart. Dear sister, you are nothing special.”

“You dare insult me? I tell you, I will have everything someday—become Huaiting’s wife, and seize everything you own.”

Her petty triumph was plain to see.

Li Jiuwei laughed lightly and slapped her across the face, ignoring her shock and rage.

“I’ve been sick of you for ages. Get lost!”

“Wretch, wretch… I won’t let this go… Ah… ah, it hurts…”

Li Jiuwei left feeling immensely satisfied.

Once in the car, she received a message from Feng Su.

[Congratulations on leaving your job, sister.]

[Do you have someone inside Jiang Group?]

[Secret!]

Li Jiuwei didn’t reply further. On the way back to Zhaoshan Villa, she received a call from Jiang Huaiting.

She didn’t need to guess his motives. Li Jiuwei blocked him completely. As the car was driving normally, suddenly someone appeared in the road. Fortunately, she braked in time!

Worried, Li Jiuwei got out and walked to the front of the car, seeing a woman lying on the ground. The woman sat up and waved her hand. “I—I’m fine…”

As she lifted her head, Li Jiuwei recognized her instantly.
