Qin Qing's lips almost pursed into a straight line, and she glanced over the ground with a slight movement in her eyes.

Li Suimo froze in place, feeling awkward and unsure of how to move her hands and feet.

She saw Qin Qing's gaze briefly freeze as it passed over the ground, before quickly returning to pick up the object on the ground.

Qin Qing walked over and bent down to grab the book, and the two of them each held onto one end.

As their fingertips touched, Li Suimo quickly withdrew her hand.

"Rip--"

The book tore apart.

Li Suimo felt a headache coming on and turned red with embarrassment, not knowing what to do.

As they stood close together, Zhou Kai's voice came through the phone speaker, "The contract is still at the office, and Li Suimo hasn't signed a single copy. Could she really..."

Li Suimo remained silent.

Qin Qing stood up straight and said to Zhou Kai on the phone, "Let's discuss this another day."

Zhou Kai protested, "Hey--"

Qin Qing hung up the phone.

Li Suimo bit her lip, hesitant to speak. "I..."

Qin Qing glanced over at her. "What is it?"

"Ahem." Li Suimo didn't know how to explain, so she just coughed and let go of the book.

Qin Qing held onto it with one hand, her face expressionless.

Li Suimo stood there with her hands behind her back, with the page she had accidentally torn off still dangling in mid-air, swaying back and forth.

It made her feel dizzy.

"This..." Li Suimo gestured towards the book.

Qin Qing looked over at her phone, which was ringing again, and motioned to indicate that she was still on a call.

"... "

Li Suimo could only take the book back, carefully putting the documents that had been sandwiched between its pages back in place.

After patching up the torn page, she closed the book and noticed its cover -- it was a collection of poems by Tsangyang Gyatso.

Qin Qing asked the assistant on the phone, "What's the matter?"

The assistant replied, "President Qin, the President of Ju Mountain Group, Zhang, wants to speak with you. He said you're preventing him from acquiring the Li family's business..."

Every word of the assistant's message fell into Li Suimo's ears.

Li Suimo remained silent.

Qin Qing hung up the phone.

Li Suimo immediately pretended to be unaffected, lowered her head and flipped through the book in her hand.

They were love poems by Tsangyang Gyatso, which she had read before.

There was something in between the pages of the book Qin Qing had given her...

Li Suimo looked carefully and suddenly looked up at Qin Qing!

Qin Qing was holding her phone, with her arms crossed, looking at her.

Li Suimo wanted to pretend she didn't see anything, but her eyes were shining.

She stared at the two purchase receipts for two full minutes, pretending she didn't know what they were, unless she was blind.

"This..."
