After the tycoon went bankrupt, he was raised by the villainous female supporting character and beca

"cry?"

The word struck a nerve with Lu Yibai. He frowned slightly and almost uncontrollably took a step toward Qin Song.

Xiao Chen immediately stopped him: "Mr. Lu, where are you going?"

Lu Yibai said without any hesitation, "I'm going to see Qin Song."

"Huh?" Xiao Chen turned around and looked at the people surrounding him, looking embarrassed. "But Mr. Lu, there are several business partners waiting to talk to you."

“Go and say it for me.” Lu Yibai brushed away Xiao Chen’s hand, his brows furrowing slightly in annoyance. “We’ve already finished discussing the important matters. All they’ll say is some flattering nonsense. You go and talk to me. I need to go see Qin Song.”

Before he could finish speaking, Lu Yibai had already taken a big step forward.

"President Lu..." Xiao Chen stood there helplessly, wanting to say something but not daring to speak. In the end, he could only watch helplessly as Lu Yibai walked to Qin Song's side.

"Sigh..." He sighed, then composed himself and turned to deal with the nagging old men for Lu Yibai.

"Qin Song?"

Lu Yi pulled out a chair and sat down next to Qin Song without any hesitation.

Qin Song turned his head upon hearing the sound, and when he saw Lu Yibai's cold and stern face, a perfectly timed look of shock flashed across his reddened eyes.

Lu Yibai smiled slightly and asked softly, "What are you doing here? Why are you crying?"

"..." Qin Song glared at him, then turned away impatiently, no longer looking at him.

He didn't seem to care, and then asked, "Did something happen?"

Qin Song sniffed, turned his face to the side, and then pretended to wipe the eye drops hanging from the corner of his eye, saying irritably, "What's it to you?"

Lu Yibai liked her domineering and unreasonable attitude. She didn't get angry when he snorted at her; instead, she laughed even more happily.

"It's none of my business, but can't I ask?"

Qin Song glared at him and snapped, "Did I tell you to ask?"

Lu Yibai smiled and shook her head: "You didn't allow it, but I still asked."

"...Get lost." Qin Song didn't want to waste time chatting with him, so he simply moved his chair and turned his back to him.

The more he was scolded, the more amused he became, so he simply propped his chin up with his hand and tilted his head to look at Qin Song's face.

"Qin Song, what happened to you? Why are you sitting here crying all by yourself? Where is Pei Xingzhi?"

Don't mention him to me!

These questions somehow stung Qin Song, and his tone suddenly became even fiercer than before.

Lu Yibai was stunned for a moment, then suddenly understood something.

"What's wrong?" He narrowed his eyes slightly, his gaze on Qin Song's face carrying a hint of excitement. "Why can't I mention Pei Xingzhi to you?"

"...For no reason." Qin Song bit his lip angrily. Although his tone was still fierce, his expression showed a hint of grievance.

"In short, just don't mention him to me."

This statement sounded very wrong. Lu Yibai only needed to think for a moment to guess what had probably happened between Qin Song and Pei Xingzhi.

He raised an eyebrow meaningfully, not only to bring it up, but to get to the bottom of it.

"What's wrong? Why are you reacting so strongly to the mention of Pei Xingzhi? Did he bully you?"

Qin Song pursed his lips, feeling aggrieved: "It has nothing to do with you."

"So he's bullying you." Lu Yibai instantly became certain of his guess. He put his hand on Qin Song's shoulder, unable to hide his excitement, and asked, "Weren't you two supposed to have a great relationship? Weren't you determined to live a good life with him? How come you're suddenly being bullied by him?"

"Tell me about it?"

Qin Song angrily shook off his hand: "Why should I tell you? Who are you?"

Lu Yibai replied matter-of-factly, "I'm your ex-boyfriend whom you once deeply loved. Putting aside those unpleasant things, we were entangled with each other for several years. Our feelings for each other are probably even stronger than for Pei Xingzhi, right?"

"..." Qin Song lowered his eyes in silence, deliberately pretending that he had nothing to say in rebuttal.

Lu Yibai stared at her intently, encouraged by the obvious wavering on her face.

He reached out again, but instead of putting his hand on Qin Song's shoulder, he grabbed the armrest of her chair and turned her and the chair around to face him.

"Qin Song, as your ex-boyfriend whom you once deeply loved, I feel obligated to care for you when you are vulnerable."

"Tell me, how did Pei Xingzhi bully you? If he went too far, I can help you teach him a lesson."

"Hmph..." Qin Song sneered, but stubbornly refused to speak.

Looking at her clean and beautiful face, Lu Yibai felt a strange restlessness in his heart. Then, seeing the glistening water droplets on her face, he suddenly felt a pang of regret.

"Don't cry." He reached out and wiped away the tears on Qin Song's face, his gaze slowly darkening.

Qin Song blinked, and as if to defy him, squeezed out two more tears.

Helpless, he could only reach into the pocket of his suit jacket, but he couldn't find the tissue he wanted.

"Wait a minute." He got up from his chair, walked to the cashier in the coffee shop, bought a pack of tissues, and then handed it to Qin Song.

Qin Song knew that the tissues at this store were expensive and didn't want to take advantage of Lu Yibai, so he took out his phone and said in a muffled voice, "Add me on WeChat, and I'll transfer the money for the tissues to you."

Lu Yibai was taken aback by her words, then chuckled: "It's just a pack of tissues, why are you spinning it around? Do you think I'm short of money?"

Qin Song stubbornly held onto his phone: "I don't care if you need money or not, I won't take your things for nothing."

"You..." Lu Yibai was speechless after being rebuked by her, but he couldn't get angry.

Seeing that he didn't move, Qin Song simply handed the tissue back to him: "Take it if you don't want money."

"..."

Lu Yibai truly lost to her.

He rarely compromised with anyone, and with an almost indulgent smile, he said, "Okay, okay, I'll add you on WeChat, and you can transfer the money to me."

After saying that, he took out his phone, opened the WeChat QR code, and asked Qin Song to scan it.

Qin Song added him to his contacts and immediately transferred twenty yuan to him, ordering him to collect the money.

He obediently did as she asked, then handed her the tissue: "Can I use it now?"

Qin Song stared at the tissue for a couple of seconds, and finally agreed to take it.

She unwrapped the tissue box, took out a tissue, and slowly and carefully wiped the eye drops off her face.

"Thank you." She temporarily suppressed her hostility and thanked Lu Yibai sincerely, a rare occurrence for her.

Lu Yibai's heart melted at her soft "thank you." He smiled comfortably and said in a relaxed tone, "Now you're willing to tell me how Pei Xingzhi bullied you, right?"

Qin Song kept her head down and was initially reluctant to talk, but after Lu Yibai coaxed her a couple of times, she relented.

"I've noticed that Pei Xingzhi seems to be..."

"It seems like she's seeing someone else outside?" Lu Yibai finished her sentence for her.
