Free Web NovelChapter 1770: Chapter 1856: Rival in Love
"A star in the sky, a person on the ground. There are millions of stars in the sky, understanding just one is enough. There are thousands of good women on the ground, falling in love with one is enough. Qingyi, in this vast sea of people, from the first moment I saw you, I was certain. Until the seas dry up and the rocks crumble, I remain unwavering, merely taking one sip from the vast Ruishui River..."
This rich young master was fervently confessing his love. At first, Su Xuan didn’t realize who this guy was confessing to, but upon hearing it more clearly, damn, the target of the confession was actually Hou Qingyi.
"Monkey, it looks like you have competition!"
Su Xuan rubbed his nose, watching the scene with great interest, thinking today would be eventful. He looked at this young master, blew a smoke ring, and wore a look of someone eager to watch the drama unfold.
Monkey also felt somewhat hostile, thinking, damn, there really is a love rival. Yesterday, Su Xuan had told him that around good women, there would always be suitors. Monkey didn’t believe it much, but he didn’t expect that a confession would happen today.
At this moment, in the office, Hou Qingyi’s pretty face turned red, feeling a bit helpless.
"Qingyi, this Young Master Li is truly a romantic. Why not give someone else a chance? If it were Lin Miaoxin, she probably would have jumped on it already!"
A teacher in the office jokingly remarked.
You should know, this rich second generation downstairs is the young master from the Subei’s grand family, the Li Family. In Subei, there are three prominent families: the Su Family, the Li Family, and the Meng Family.
Among them, the Su Family is the most prestigious, and the Li Family follows, but it’s still a genuine prestigious family. This young master is Li Chunfeng, the son of Li Zhenyuan, known as Young Master Feng outside.
After seeing Hou Qingyi once, Li Chunfeng swore to get her into bed. However, Hou Qingyi simply didn’t care and didn’t want to marry into a wealthy family because she knew she wasn’t meant for that life. The life of the wealthy was as deep as the sea, too complicated.
But men often have a bit of stubbornness; the more they can’t get something, the more they want it. Li Chunfeng wouldn’t let go, thinking Hou Qingyi was doing it on purpose, like dangling bait.
Yet today, he came to confess, determined to make sure Hou Qingyi agreed even if she didn’t want to.
"Sigh... But I really don’t like him!"
Hou Qingyi said helplessly. With regards to Li Chunfeng, she actually felt they didn’t match at all on a personal level. She didn’t like him, and it wasn’t entirely because of his family background. She used to think that was it, but after meeting Su Xuan and the others yesterday, she didn’t feel any aversion towards them. Su Xuan held a much higher status than Li Chunfeng.
Thinking of Su Xuan, she couldn’t help but think of his classmate, Monkey. That person had left a very deep impression on her. Although Monkey was also a boss, she found chatting with him very enjoyable; even if they didn’t talk much, it still felt happy.
Thinking of when Su Xuan told her to give it a day to consider, she still felt somewhat flustered.
"Sigh, silly girl, if I had your life, I would definitely marry him without hesitation. How much pure love is left in this era? Love can’t be eaten; holding money is the only stability!"
Hou Qingyi smiled gently. If she didn’t like him, she didn’t like him. Forcing herself just for money wasn’t worth giving her whole life to.
"Honestly, though, I think President Su is genuinely handsome. Did any of you see President Su yesterday?"
At this moment, another girl said, face full of excitement.
"You’re talking about the head of Su Group, Su Xuan!"
"Yes, he came to school yesterday. Inside news—Wu Tianxiang, that old rascal, was fired by President Su!"
This girl said, full of admiration.
"Wow, he’s truly awe-inspiring. That old rascal finally met his match!"
"Yes, I heard he’s even more handsome than a statue..."
This girl said, utterly infatuated.
"Uh... Mei, you don’t need to be so infatuated. He has a wife, and she’s really beautiful!"
Another male quickly chimed in, clicking his tongue. This male teacher was pursuing this female, thinking, President Su, why did you come to school? I was about to succeed in my pursuit, and you just had to mess it up.
"Are you kidding?"
"I’m... I’m not kidding, ask Teacher Hou if you don’t believe me. He knows him!"
The man quickly said.
"Uh... he does have a wife, and she truly possesses extraordinary beauty that I’ve never seen before!"
Hou Qingyi used to believe her looks could rival anyone’s, but upon seeing Liu Ruobing and Xue Mengxue, she knew she was actually inferior to them. She really couldn’t compare.
"Qingyi, I want to sing a song for you, ’Love You for Ten Thousand Years...’"
At this moment, Li Chunfeng began to sing again, and Hou Qingyi rolled her eyes, as everyone egged her on.
"Qingyi, why not just agree? This Young Master Li looks decent enough; what more could you ask for?"
"Hou Qingyi, I like you! I have something I want to say to you!"
Just as Hou Qingyi was about to head to the bathroom to escape, suddenly, a voice that stirred her heart rang out. In that instant, she felt momentarily paralyzed.
"Wow... Is someone else confessing?"
At this moment, everyone in the office rushed out in curiosity, and Hou Qingyi hurried out as well because she knew he had come.
When Hou Qingyi appeared in the hallway, sure enough, she saw Monkey holding a bouquet of fresh flowers, standing downstairs, gazing up towards her office.
In that moment, Hou Qingyi was genuinely surprised. She could understand Li Chunfeng playing such tricks—after all, these spoiled rich kids, once fed, had nothing better to do but play with women.
But Monkey was different. From what she knew, Monkey was very busy with work, having many things to handle throughout the year. Even when he came to play basketball with Su Xuan, he was chased by teleconference calls, so she didn’t expect Monkey to come and confess to her.
When Hou Qingyi appeared, Li Chunfeng got excited. He thought it was his brilliant performance that drew Hou Qingyi out.
"You poor loser, do you really not want to look so shabby? What match does a heavenly beauty like her have with your miserable state!"
Li Chunfeng looked up at Hou Qingyi, speaking with deep emotion.
"Qingyi, I knew you would be moved by my sincere affection. With sincerity, even the hardest stone can be moved. Qingyi, although I’m a rich second generation, and I’m very wealthy, that doesn’t matter. What matters is I have a heart that loves you! Marry me, and I’ll ensure you become the happiest, most beautiful bride in the world!"
