Fu Qingli’s cold eagle eyes caught a quick glance of Shen Xi’s ankle. There was a bleeding cut.

The commotion in the wardrobe did not go amiss either. Fu Qingli had no doubt that it was Qingxuan.

In a split second, Fu Qingli found himself catching his breath while feeling a rush in his blood. A thought flashed past his mind too quickly for him to grasp it. He averted his probing gaze away from her ankle to her face.

The girl was impressive. Literally, Fu Qingli saw a different face to her every time they met. She was Cai Ni the designer, Dr. Jiu Zhou, Music Composer Xixi, and now Screenwriter Cloud Seven!

Shen Xi cursed her own rotten luck in her mind, having thought she steered clear of Fu Qingli by getting a head start. Had she known this was going to happen, she would never agree to the meeting.

By sheer dumb luck, Fu Qingli walked in when she was about to leave. God was playing a game with her!

Clearing her throat, Fu Junqiu glanced at the wardrobe and murmured a b*stard under her breath. She hid her guilt by raising her voice slightly. “Come on in, Qingli. Why are you standing at the door? Mr. Cloud Seven’s going to leave if you wait any longer.”

She then tipped Fu Qingli the wink so he could convince Cloud Seven to stay.

Jiang Yin’s eyes moved around the room before getting a snoop at the wardrobe. By the way Fu Junqiu was behaving, it was clear she was trying to hide the fact that someone was in the wardrobe. Who could it be?

Like his assuming presence, Fu Qingli took large strides in and nodded at Shen Xi. “Hello, Mr. Cloud Seven.”

Shen Xi nodded. “Mr. Fu.”

“Are you in a hurry?” Fu Qingli’s gaze danced around her face and her ankle. The cut was not deep, but it was still bleeding. Yet, she did not show it in her face. Did she feel no pain?

“I’m not in a rush.” With a fake smile, Shen Xi looked into his forevermore stone-cold eyes. “I have no intentions whatsoever to work with other people.”

What was with the act?

Did he have radar eyes? How was he able to lock on and make out it was her in one look?

“Is it because of me?” Raising his brow, Fu Qingli popped the question, only to see the color draining from her face. Suddenly, he was in a much better mood.

For some reason, the last thing he wanted to see was her imperturbable, almost unfeeling face. It tempted him to tear down that unapproachable façade and see her lose her cool.

These words sent sparks flying.

Fu Junqiu awkwardly hacked and looked daggers at Fu Qingli. What was up with him? Why did she have a feeling that the two had met before?

Qingli might have a no-nonsense approach to handling things, but he was never one with a biting and sensitive remark. She dared to say there was hostility behind his words as though to deliberately get under Mr. Cloud Seven’s skin.

“You got it wrong, Mr. Fu.” Shen Xi smiled faintly. “I prefer my current working environment. I should get going if there’s nothing else.”

She then turned to walk away.

Because of him?

He got that right. Because of him, she would never work with the Fu family.

Jiang Yin lost the plot. However, she believed they were not strangers by the way they were taking jabs at each other.
