Song Li took the initiative to walk towards Shu Xin. "Miss Shu, you're finally out. If you hadn't come out, I would have gone in to look for you."
Shu Xin frowned in confusion. "Secretary Song, are you waiting for me for something?"
"Miss Shu, you're not going back to Fan City today, are you?" Song Li asked even though he already knew the answer. It was already five o 'clock, and it would be midnight if she went back. Moreover, he had already heard from Wang Dongliang that the school had arranged for two days of hotel accommodation.
Shu Xin nodded. "I'm going back tomorrow."
Song Li smiled and said, "Miss Shu, can you accompany The Fifth Lord to a dinner party tonight?"
At the thought of being with Huo Yanqing, Shu Xin's heart, which had finally calmed down, began to pound again.
Since she knew the gap between the two of them, and also knew that they wouldn't end up together, she didn't want to give herself any chance to fall into his trap.
Shu Xin casually found an excuse and said apologetically, "I'm sorry, Secretary Song. I'm not feeling well and would like to go back to the hotel to rest."
Song Li lowered his eyes and sighed, but his eyes secretly glanced at Shu Xin. "The Fifth Lord had a headache last night and didn't rest well at all. He met an important guest in the morning and rushed here to attend the award ceremony in the afternoon. He's been running around all day. If there's no one by his side at the dinner party tonight, I'm afraid something will happen. Sigh …"
Song Li sighed heavily at the end of his sentence.
Shu Xin's eyes were filled with worry, and her hands curled up slightly. "Secretary Song, aren't you always following Fifth Uncle around? There'll be no problem with you taking care of him. "
Song Li shook his head. "I'm just an assistant. I'm not qualified to attend any dinner party."
"If you're not qualified, then I'm even less qualified," Shu Xin said with a frown.
"You're different. You can accompany The Fifth Lord as his female companion." Song Li could tell that Shuxin was beginning to waver, so he continued to persuade her, "The most important thing is that someone will introduce someone to The Fifth Lord tonight, but The Fifth Lord already has someone in his heart. However, the other party is of noble status, and The Fifth Lord can't reject her directly. If you don't go, I'm afraid the Fifth Lord will have to accept this marriage, sigh …"
At this point, Song Li pretended to sigh again, looking as if he was distressed for Huo Yanqing. "The Fifth Lord is already pitiful enough that he can't see. I didn't expect that he would have to be with someone he doesn't like for the rest of his life. Just thinking about it makes me sad for The Fifth Lord."
With Song Li's eloquent performance, if he was an actor, he would definitely be a Best Actor.
Shu Xin's mind was still stuck on Song Li's words, "The Fifth Lord already has someone in his heart." Did he already have someone he liked?
The woman he liked must be very outstanding, right?
Shu Xin's chest felt stuffy and uncomfortable, as if there was a ball of cotton stuck in it. It also felt as if someone had pinched her hard, causing her to ache faintly.
Huo Yanqing had helped her a lot. If she stood by and did nothing when Huo Yanqing needed help, she would be too heartless.
She was doing this to repay Huo Yanqing's favor. She was definitely not worried that Huo Yanqing would marry another woman.
After Shu Xin found an excuse for herself in her heart, she looked at Song Li. "Alright …"
"I knew Miss Shu wouldn't leave The Fifth Lord alone. I'll leave everything to you." Song Li interrupted Shu Xin agitatedly. He then waved his hand and gestured for her to leave. "Miss Shu, please come back to the hotel with me to change."
