Honest Beta gets scammed

Thinking about this made Li Qing feel a tightness in his chest and a great deal of discomfort.

But then he thought about it again, and realized that all this money and this job were ultimately arranged for him to earn by He Xiangchen. With that thought, his heavy expression finally improved a little.

Forget it.

However, Li Qing didn't plan to go out to buy any ingredients for the time being.

Before leaving the city, he wanted to treat himself to a big meal.

Li Qing went back inside, sank into the sofa, and opened the food delivery app.

Scrolling through the screen, my eyes wandered over the colorful pictures of the restaurants, and I ordered all the dishes that I had previously hesitated to eat because they were too expensive.

After clicking on a whole bunch of items, when he finally pressed the payment button, the screen displayed 568 yuan. Li Qing sighed deeply, but felt a lot better.

While waiting for his takeout, he opened his messaging app and sent a message to Guan Li.

"Sister Li, I'm quitting. I'm going back to my hometown."

After sending the message, Li Qing tossed her phone aside, got up, went into the bedroom, pulled out her suitcase, and began packing.

Once Guan Li has explained the contract termination details, he'll just buy a train ticket and leave.

……

On the other hand, He Xiangchen certainly did not give up.

He called out to Li Qing at the door for a long time, but Li Qing didn't open the door. Instead, he received a work call from Xu Shi, who said there was something he needed to go back to handle.

Despite his reluctance, He Xiangchen gritted his teeth, took one last look at the closed door, and turned to leave.

After finishing his work as quickly as possible, he didn't even have time to drink water before immediately driving back to Li Qing's location.

I arrived at Li Qing's apartment building again.

"Ding!"

The elevator doors opened.

An Alpha resident who was about to leave the building was stunned when he saw He Xiangchen standing in the elevator.

He Xiangchen's face was gloomy. He didn't even glance at him, and walked straight out of the elevator, standing at Li Qing's door again.

The Alpha watched He Xiangchen's retreating figure, a hint of fear flashing across his face. As soon as the elevator doors closed, he immediately took out his phone and sent a message in the residents' group chat.

[Holy crap! That lunatic is here again this morning!! Is nobody going to do anything about him?]

There's no way to control it; if there were, He Xiangchen would have dragged it away this morning.

He Xiangchen is in a very bad mood right now.

He calmed down overnight after the banquet and had already thought of various excuses. He was ready to come over and apologize to Li Qing, intending to say everything he needed to say at once and coax her back.

But to his surprise, Li Qing didn't even open the door for him, nor did he say a single word to him.

If it weren't for the people he sent to keep an eye on him confirming repeatedly that Li Qing had stayed home all day and hadn't gone out, he would have doubted whether he had misheard in the morning and that there was actually no one in the house at all.

During a break from work, he tried to message Li Qing, only to find that he had been blocked and deleted.

This made him both angry and aggrieved, and his face turned so black it looked like ink could drip from it.

Standing at the door of Li Qing's house, he suppressed his anger and softened his expression.

He didn't pound on the door anymore, but raised his hand and knocked gently.

"Knock knock".

His voice came through the door, softened and slightly hoarse.

"Li Qing, are you feeling any better?"

Inside the room, Li Qing was putting clothes into a suitcase when she suddenly heard He Xiangchen's voice and froze.

Why are you here again?

He subconsciously held his breath and made his movements even quieter, afraid of making any noise that would let the person outside the door know he was there.

He Xiangchen continued.

"Can we talk face to face? I really didn't mean to lie to you... Yes, I admit that my initial intentions in approaching you were impure, but every second I spent with you afterward was genuine."

"I didn't tell you the truth because I was afraid you'd be angry. I wanted to find a suitable opportunity to slowly and honestly tell you..."

Li Qing stood in front of her suitcase, looking towards the door, listening to He Xiangchen's words, her eyes somewhat unfocused.

But he quickly came to his senses, a hint of annoyance appearing on his face.

To prevent himself from making another foolish mistake, Li Qing grabbed his phone and ran back to his bedroom.

If you simply ignore him, don't look at him, and don't pay attention to him, a spoiled young master like He Xiangchen will eventually run out of patience and leave.

Thinking it over, Li Qing opened a short video app, intending to use it to distract herself.

The screen flickered with light and shadow, and videos flashed by quickly. As I watched, my head tilted to the side, my phone slipped to the side, and I ended up leaning against the headboard, dozing off amidst the sounds of these videos.

He Xiangchen spoke until his throat was dry outside the door, but there was no response from inside.

Having been completely ignored all day, He Xiangchen's temper finally got the better of him. He stared at the closed door and gritted his teeth.

Actually, there are many ways for him to get into this room.

But he can't do that.

He Xiangchen knew that his behavior at the banquet had already frightened Li Qing, and if he were to break down the door now, communication would be even more difficult.

Forcibly suppressing his inner rage, He Xiangchen took a deep breath.

He desperately wanted to explain Enigma to Li Qing, to tell him why he had suddenly lost control and committed such an extreme act, but this was an apartment building corridor, not his He family villa, and he couldn't just tell him about Enigma like that.

In my annoyance, the elevator dinged.

A delivery driver came out, looking down at the order information on his phone, and walked towards Li Qing's door.

When he looked up and saw He Xiangchen standing at the door, he paused.

Seeing He Xiangchen's gloomy face, the deliveryman's heart skipped a beat. He instinctively became wary, tightened his grip on the delivery bag, and didn't dare to move any closer.

He Xiangchen glanced at the deliveryman, then at the food in the deliveryman's hand, and asked, "From this company?"

His voice was a little hoarse, and he sounded like he was in a bad mood.

The delivery driver had a feeling that something was off about this person, so he pursed his lips and remained silent.

Seeing his guarded look, He Xiangchen forced a smile, his good looks making him appear incredibly friendly.

"If so, give it to me. I'm the boyfriend of the resident in the house. We had a fight, and now he's ignoring me."

The delivery driver looked suspicious. He Xiangchen didn't seem like a bad person. Thinking he still had several orders to deliver, he said, "You can't steal it from me, can you?"

He Xiangchen chuckled softly.

"I've ordered from this room before."

As he spoke, he opened the food delivery app on his phone, pulled up the order history, and showed the delivery driver the address that was exactly the same as Li Qing's.

Seeing that it was indeed the same address, the delivery driver was completely relieved.

"Then I'll make a phone call, take a picture, and leave it here. You can take it."

"Okay," He Xiangchen replied.
