A pampered young lady from a prestigious family, pampered by her childhood sweetheart, a CEO.

"I'm sorry, I don't need to worry about our group's brand ambassadors. Besides, not just any Tom, Dick, or Harry can become a brand ambassador for the Luo Group."

Luo Yunqi always had a cold and ruthless demeanor towards outsiders. With his sharp eyebrows, high nose bridge, and excellent bone structure, he only showed his affectionate and clingy side in front of Xu Shuli.

Wu Lina "..."

Her face was repeatedly pressed and rubbed against the ground. No matter how clear her purpose was, she still felt uncomfortable in front of the man she loved.

"If you have nothing else, we'll be going now; we have other things to do."

Xu Shuli carried her bag, and Luo Yunqi reached out and took the bag from her. The two of them walked side by side like a perfect couple.

Wu Lina certainly wouldn't let go of this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. It was getting late, and she deliberately didn't come in her own driver's car so that she could have this chance to ride in Luo Yunqi's car.

She followed behind the two of them to the door and watched as Luo Yunqi opened the car door for her.

"Young Master Luo, I was in a bit of a rush this time, and it's getting late. I wonder if you could give me a ride? You know it's probably hard to get a taxi at this hour, and it's not convenient for a girl like me."

She pretended to be troubled and conflicted, as if she had forgotten what had just happened, as if she was also very troubled by this situation. Xu Shuli and Luo Yunqi paused slightly. "Yaoyao, sit down first. It's windy at night, be careful not to catch a cold."

Then he closed the passenger door.

Wu Lina's expectant gaze fell back on Luo Yunqi, determined that he wouldn't leave a girl like her alone in such a place.

"Young Master Luo..."

Luo Yunqi took out his phone, glanced at the time, and coldly refused, "Sorry, we're not close enough for me to take you home. To put it bluntly, I don't even know who you are. I know so many people, I don't need to remember them all."

Wu Lina's smile faltered, and she looked at him in disbelief. What had he just said? He said he didn't remember her at all and didn't recognize her?

"When did you sit behind us? And why have you been staring at us? I think you know perfectly well. You could just take out your phone and open any ride-hailing app and you'd get a car, or at the very least, you could just call your driver and he'd come pick you up."

Luo Yunqi also has a bit of a sharp tongue and a cunning mind. He was born a young master and was spoiled by his family. He was then entrusted with taking over the family's group in a time of crisis. While he can handle things calmly, he is also a young man.

Unruly and flamboyant.

He tilted his head slightly, "If you feel unsafe, you can go inside the movie theater and sit for a while since you've booked the whole place."

"..."

Wu Lina couldn't utter a word; a thousand words were stuck in her heart. She couldn't process this fact and could only watch helplessly as Luo Yunqi drove away.

All her plans that lasted all night came to nothing.

Why is this happening? Where did things go wrong?

Are you sure you don't remember her?

Xu Shuli felt a little tired. She supported her forehead with one hand, her eyes half-closed. The streetlights outside, one after another, were guiding her home.

"Yaoyao... I don't even remember people who aren't important to me clearly."

A very obsequious answer.

He turned the steering wheel with one hand, glanced at her, and noticed that the air conditioning vent on Xu Shuli's side was pointing directly at her face, so he reached out and adjusted the steering wheel.

Wu Lina was no stranger to her; she was a fervent admirer of Luo Yunqi's driving. The last time was at the inauguration ceremony of the CEO of the Luo Group, and the time before that was at the resort village. Now, she even had the ability to follow them...

Xu Shuli hated this kind of life. Ever since she was in school, she had liked Luo Yunqi. Wherever the two of them appeared, Wu Lina would definitely be there too.

Therefore, they have been competing openly and secretly for the title of number one.

Upon hearing the sound and sensing the addition of a dark shadow in front of him, Xu Shuli, who had been on edge, immediately opened his eyes, and his long, broad fingers came into view.

For some reason, Xu Shuli thought of the phrase "strong and powerful." Her eyes followed his movements and they turned at an intersection. He was slowly and methodically turning the steering wheel with one hand, his arm muscles bulging with each movement. The boy's growth was quite remarkable.

"You really don't remember her? Back in school, she always stood behind us. Even when she was spotted, she would only call you 'senior.' If I'm not mistaken, she's liked you for about seven or eight years now... Yunqi, seven or eight years is not a short time."

"hiss…"

The car braked suddenly and came to a stop with a whoosh.

"Yaoyao, what do you mean? Don't you want me anymore? You...you...you think I'm annoying because she's been bothering us? You really don't want me anymore?"

Luo Yunqi was so nervous that he stammered, and a look of helplessness and fear flashed in his eyes. He wanted to reach out and hold her hand, but he was afraid that he would offend her. However, her words just now made him feel extremely panicked.

Does Yao Yao still hate me? Can't I get past her? So now she's giving up on me?

"Yaoyao... I know it was all my fault before. I'm willing to win you back, and I'm willing to pursue you as a close friend who grew up together, just like you said. Please don't reject me so quickly, okay?"

Luo Yunqi needs to be coaxed.

This can be seen from the fact that he disliked taking medicine when he was a child. We had to coax him out of his blankets in the dead of winter to obediently go to class on time, coax him when he was sick and needed to take medicine or get injections, coax him to attend training courses, and coax him to go to the company.

But now everything has turned upside down. Luo Yunqi in front of him is filled with fear, afraid that Xu Shuli will abandon him, and afraid that Xu Shuli will never pay attention to him again.

“Yaoyao…”

Her heart skipped a beat, and a hint of tenderness gradually welled up in her eyes.

"I just said it casually, that she likes you a lot."

"But the person I love is you, and the person I want to marry most in this life is you. Back then... it was all my fault. I let you down. I used the most foolish thing to protect you. I thought it was for your own good, but I never thought that my kindness to you was the sharpest sword that hurt you the most."

Whenever he thought of that incident three years ago, when he ran away from his engagement ceremony, Luo Yunqi was filled with remorse, feeling as if someone was pricking him with needles.

It hurts, it hurts so much it cuts to the bone.

"Let's not talk about the past anymore." Xu Shuli's face was stiff from the cold wind, and she reached out and rolled up the car window.

"Let bygones be bygones."

"Yaoyao...did you ever hate me back then?"

It didn't seem like a suitable day or place for them to chat.

But that's exactly where the conversation started.
