Li Jiuyuan: ...

He suddenly regretted coming to see Gu Bai today; that guy was anything but serious.

Gu Bai didn't feel that he had said anything wrong at all.

He sat cross-legged on the sofa and began to analyze things for Li Jiuyuan, believing his arguments to be very logical.

At the same time, he gestured to the girl singing along to change to a sad and melodious song.

"Look, she argued with you because of Li Yunqi and doesn't want you to interfere with her anymore, which means she wants to leave you and elope with Li Yunqi."

After Gu Bai embellished the story, Li Jiuyuan's murderous aura doubled.

Most of the people in the private room shuddered.

"Alright, that's enough."

Li Jiuyuan stood up, pinching the bridge of his nose.

Gu Bai's eyes lit up with a good idea, and she quickly grabbed his hand.

"I do have a way to win her back."

Li Jiuyuan, who was about to leave, stopped and sat back down.

He raised his chin, signaling for him to explain.

Gu Bai kept everyone in suspense and handed the documents in his hand to Li Jiuyuan.

"I can tell you, but Mr. Li, could you do me a favor? How do I negotiate this deal? Can you teach me?"

He really knew nothing about business.

Li Jiuyuan agreed without hesitation.

The next second, Gu Bai dismissed the people beside him and whispered in Li Jiuyuan's ear, "Since she wants to leave you, then just keep pestering her."

Li Jiuyuan: ?

He, Li Jiuyuan, is the head of the prestigious Li family, and also the youngest head of the family in its history.

But why would he relentlessly pursue a woman?

Li Jiuyuan couldn't do it.

Gu Bai: "Which do you want, your wife or your pride?"

Li Jiuyuan: ...

Gu Bai continued, "Do you really want to see Jiang Momo leave with Li Yunqi?"

Li Jiuyuan: ...

Gu Bai clicked his tongue twice and put his documents away.

"Since President Li is unwilling..."

Before he could finish speaking, Li Jiuyuan reached out and placed his documents on the table.

Her voice was strained as she spoke, "Tell me, how do you want me to pester you relentlessly?"

Gu Bai suppressed a laugh; the thought of what he was about to say made his face twitch.

In the end, he tried his best to keep his tone calm and explained it carefully in a voice that only the two of them could hear.

After he finished speaking, Li Jiuyuan's expression turned very bad.

Are you sure this will really work?

The latter nodded repeatedly, almost patting his chest in assurance.

"Have you forgotten my nickname? In the martial arts world, I'm known as the Playboy. I've flirted with more women than you've eaten meals. Don't worry, this trick will definitely work on Jiang Momo."

Li Jiuyuan: "...Okay."

Just as Gu Bai was about to continue sharing his experience, Li Jiuyuan finished his glass of wine in one gulp, then stood up to leave.

"Hey? Where are you going? Aren't you going to have a drink with your bro?"

"Look at you! When you need me, you call me your best brother, but when you don't want me anymore, you just throw me away. You're such a jerk!"

Li Jiuyuan turned around and glared at him.

"I'm going back to the company to handle some business."

"Working overtime so late!? I didn't expect President Li to be so dedicated."

Gu Bai really couldn't understand how there could be someone in this world who loved going to work so much.

"This isn't work," Li Jiuyuan said coldly. "Just handing over my work; I have to go on a business trip tomorrow."

……

Jiang Momo slept through the coldest night since she entered the Li family.

Even though the air conditioning was on full blast and it was the height of summer, and she had wrapped herself in the blankets, she still couldn't help feeling cold.

I don't know how she used to get through those days.

It was probably because there was a warm source of heat nearby at the time.

After packing her things and leaving the room, Jiang Momo looked at Aunt Chen who was busy at work. After thinking for a long time, she finally asked.

"Aunt Chen, has Ninth Master still not returned all night?"

The latter sighed and shook his head.

Upon seeing this, Jiang Momo lowered her eyes and said nothing more.

If she doesn't want to come back, she doesn't have to. She can take a taxi to the airport herself.

But why...?

Jiang Momo reached out and covered her chest.

It always feels empty here.

Logically speaking, the two had just had a fight and had only been separated for one night, not even 24 hours, yet they discovered that Li Jiuyuan had not returned all night, or rather, he couldn't take them to the airport today.

A sense of loss welled up inside her, which she couldn't help but feel.

In the end, it was Aunt Chen who interrupted her wild thoughts.

"Madam, I've had the driver take you to the airport. Breakfast is ready, please have some."

Jiang Momo didn't refuse. With two hours left before takeoff, she quickly finished her breakfast, and Aunt Chen helped her carry the food to the car.

Actually, there wasn't much stuff; it was just a regular little box containing some changes of clothes and an office computer.

Just a second before the car drove out of the villa, Jiang Momo vaguely thought she saw Li Jiuyuan's car stop in front of the house.

Is Li Jiuyuan back?

In the blink of an eye, the vehicle disappeared again.

Perhaps because she didn't sleep well yesterday, it's probably not that Li Jiuyuan really came back, but rather that she was having some kind of illusion.

To conserve his energy, he closed his eyes and rested in the car. Before long, she finally arrived at the airport.

Just then, they saw Gu Bai and Jing Tailan already waiting in the hall.

The two met up, and Jiang Momo looked at Gu Bai in surprise.

"Young Master Gu, are you going too?"

Gu Bai nodded and briefly explained the reason. Both of them had other thoughts in their minds as they faced each other.

As Li Jiuyuan's good friend, Jiang Momo really wanted to ask Gu Bai where Li Jiuyuan went last night and how he was doing today.

On the other hand, Gu Bai was also very curious about how Jiang Momo and Li Jiuyuan had started arguing.

Having held it in the whole journey, Jiang Momo finally couldn't resist asking indirectly after boarding the plane:

"Has Young Master Gu seen President Li recently?"

She kept telling herself that she cared about Li Jiuyuan only because of her status, and that she had to bow her head first.

But Jiang Momo couldn't deceive herself; she was indeed waiting for Gu Bai's answer.

Gu Bai nodded.

"Of course I've seen him, just last night."

"...How is he? President Li didn't come home last night, I'm worried something might have happened to him."

When Jiang Momo asked the question, she hesitated for a long time, as if she had been carefully considering her words.

The man immediately switched into dramatic mode, making exaggerated expressions.

"He was really upset. It seems he had a fight with someone, drank a lot of alcohol, and then forced himself to work overtime at the company all night..."

It was as tragic as could be.

A question mark slowly appeared above Jiang Momo's head.

Is this really Li Jiuyuan?

Would he drink to cope with his sadness and work overtime to the point of exhaustion?

Feeling that she didn't hold such an important place in his heart, Jiang Momo only took Gu Bai's words as a joke to tease her.

She gave a curt reply, but deep down she was still concerned.

...Is Li Jiuyuan really this upset because of his argument with me?

She looked out the window as she thought about it.

The plane was about to take off, but the next second Jiang Momo seemed to see something and suddenly froze.
