When the call came, Helian Qingyu was in a meeting at the Blue Palace. Suddenly, he saw the name flashing on the screen and stopped the meeting.
The officials were relieved to hear that the meeting was over.
Helian Qingyu picked up the call. “Hello? Looking for me?”
He might not have realized how gentle he sounded on the phone today.
“Mr. President, are you busy right now? Is it convenient for you to talk? Did I disturb you?” the woman asked worriedly.
“It’s alright, go ahead.”
As Helian Qingyu spoke, he had already picked up his jacket and was about to leave Blue Palace.
“Yeah… it’s… about the matter of remarriage.”
Li Ruochu realized that she was on the phone and was too embarrassed to say it. She asked again, “Mr. President, when can you come back? I want to discuss it with you in person.”
Hearing this, Helian Qingyu suddenly stopped in his tracks. He was suddenly in no hurry to go back.
He recalled Ah Wen’s report and knew that Li Ruochu’s condition for taking over the family business was to get married within three days. So the woman had taken the initiative to ask him to remarry?
What should she say?
When he proposed to remarry, she would reject him to the end, as if she would rather die than marry him.
Why did he have to cooperate when she needed to get married?
Helian Qingyu did not plan to go back now. He decided to leave her hanging and make her anxious. He knew how important he was.
“Okay, wait for me! I have something to take care of for the time being. I might not be able to go back.”
“Okay, I’ll hang up now!”
Could it be that she did not want to talk to him about anything else? If she could talk to Bai Yanchuan for an entire afternoon, why couldn’t she talk to him more?
“Is there anything else you want to tell me?”
“That’s all.”
Helian Qingyu’s mood instantly turned sour. He said unhappily, “Let’s talk about remarrying when I get back. If you dare to marry any random man, you’re dead!”
Helian Qingyu’s last sentence was filled with danger and warning. He then hung up the phone in a huff.
Li Ruochu hung up and looked at the screen. She couldn’t help but complain, “What kind of person is he? He changes his attitude faster than flipping a book!”
But there was nothing she could do about it. If she really married a random man, Helian Qingyu would probably cut her into pieces!
She had no other choice but to wait patiently for him to come back.
For the next two days, Li Ruochu went back to visit her father during the day. She spent the rest of her time with her child, contacting Chu Huai, and getting to know Li Group. She wrote a report on the competition.
On the third day, Helian Qingyu finally came back. When Li Ruochu heard that he was back, she immediately ran out to welcome him.
In the past, she had never felt that leaving a man was a big deal. It was only now that she realized how anxious she had been for the past few days to see him.
“Mr. President, you’re back!”
Li Ruochu was even more obsequious than the last time. Her face was full of smiles as she came to welcome him happily.
He was always so attentive when she needed his help. When could he open his heart to her?
“Do you want tea or coffee?”
After he sat down, she followed him to the side and asked thoughtfully.
Helian Qingyu glanced at her but did not say anything. He directly called the butler, Uncle Lian, and ordered, “Prepare a banquet. We have to entertain the commander of the three armies today!”
“Yes, sir.” Uncle Lian obeyed and went to prepare.
Li Ruochu also knew from the news that Estan had made a major breakthrough in their defense against the South. The commander-in-chief of the three armies, Jun Yan, was leading the army well. Because of this, Helian Qingyu held a banquet at the presidential mansion.
