“The Tough Ones Are More Fun”

Li Siming thought he had defused a potential crisis and felt a wave of relief.

Seeing Song Qinghuan standing at the door, seemingly waiting for Fang Zhou, he quickly said, “Fang Zhou won’t be back for another two hours. Why don’t you go take care of your work, and I’ll message you when he’s back?”

In reality, Fang Zhou was going to be back much sooner, but Li Siming’s instincts were screaming at him. He knew he couldn’t let these two women stay together for too long, or there would be trouble.

So, he tried to find an excuse to send Song Qinghuan away.

She raised an eyebrow and lifted the file in her hand.

“If he’s not here, I can discuss it with you instead.”

“But it looks like you have a guest. I wouldn’t want to intrude.”

Song Qinghuan tilted her head, glancing at Qin Yun, who was just about to take a sip of her tea, as if seeking her opinion.

Qin Yun was waiting for Fang Zhou anyway, and seeing that Li Siming had business to discuss, she didn’t want to stay and intrude.

She took a leisurely sip of her tea, then put the cup down and smiled at Li Siming.

“I’ll go for a walk outside and come back later.”

With that, she stood up and walked out, even giving Song Qinghuan a friendly smile as she passed by.

Once Qin Yun’s figure had completely disappeared, Li Siming let out an involuntary sigh of relief.

That was close. Thankfully, Qin Yun left on her own, or he wouldn’t have known how to cover for his buddy.

One was the official girlfriend, and the other was an ex-girlfriend the official girlfriend didn’t know about, who was now working with the company.

If Qin Yun found out, wouldn’t she explode?

However, Li Siming had no idea that the two women would accidentally run into each other in the restroom.

As fate would have it, Qin Yun had just come out of a stall and was touching up her lipstick in the mirror when Song Qinghuan walked in.

Initially, Qin Yun didn’t plan to speak to the woman she had just met.

She focused on her reflection, carefully applying her lipstick to look as perfect as possible. But then she heard a voice, a low, magnetic voice from the woman in the retro outfit. It seemed to carry a mysterious power.

“You’re quite impressive.”

The woman’s words were simple and direct, but they surprised Qin Yun.

She paused, turned to look at the woman, and a hint of confusion flashed in her eyes. Why would this woman suddenly say something like that to her? They had no prior interaction or connection.

Qin Yun looked at the woman, filled with curiosity. She wanted to know who this woman was and why she would say such a thing.

She felt that this woman had a unique aura that made her want to know more. So, she decided to put down her lipstick and talk to her.

“Thank you.”

Qin Yun smiled in response, her smile exuding confidence, clearly pleased with the compliment. Then she asked,

“I’m curious, why would you say that?”

“If I remember correctly, this is our first meeting. What gave you that impression?”

Song Qinghuan stepped forward, smiling slightly, and turned on the faucet to wash her hands.

“If I remember correctly, Fang Zhou once said he doesn’t go back to his exes.”

“So, being able to get back together with him is quite impressive, isn’t it?”

This statement immediately heightened Qin Yun’s sense of alertness.

She turned to look at the woman washing her hands, smiling warmly.

“You seem to know Fang Zhou quite well?”

The underlying question was clear: What is your relationship with him?

The doctor’s oppressive aura suddenly enveloped Song Qinghuan. At that moment, she felt like she was being stared down by a powerful beast.

However, when she looked back at Qin Yun, she saw only a delicate and beautiful woman.

Song Qinghuan’s expression turned slightly troubled, and her tone became less casual.

“An ex. Does that count as being familiar?”

The short statement was like a thunderclap in Qin Yun’s ears.

She felt an internal roar and anger.

A fire ignited within her, burning her inside out.

Qin Yun’s rationality seemed to have fled, leaving only one voice: “Liar.”

“He’s lying to you! He hasn’t cut ties with his exes! Look at this woman, boldly showing up at his company!”

“Fang Zhou is just stringing you along. He won’t marry you. When the time comes, he’ll disappear from your life!”

“Keep him close, keep him by your side. That’s the only way to prevent him from leaving you!”

After Song Qinghuan’s statement, she noticed Qin Yun standing there, stunned, neither cursing her out nor asserting her claim, looking completely indifferent.

This made Song Qinghuan uncomfortable. Being ignored felt frustrating, like preparing for a long-awaited competition only to find the opponent didn’t take her seriously.

Her smile widened as she added, “Oh, by the way, Fang Zhou and I broke up just a few months ago.”

Finally, after this statement, Qin Yun’s gaze focused.

She stared at the retro beauty before her, sharply catching the fleeting slyness and amusement in her eyes, fueling her anger further.

Qin Yun calmly capped her lipstick, put it back in her bag, and said lightly,

“Oh, so what?”

“Everyone has a few exes. It’s not important.”

The more Qin Yun spoke, the more gently she smiled, like an elegant, wise older sister looking at a mischievous child next door.

“Miss Song, if you’re trying to use this tactic to disrupt my relationship with Fang Zhou, I’m sorry.”

“You’ve failed.”

With that, Qin Yun turned and left gracefully.

It seemed she wasn’t bothered by Song Qinghuan’s provocation and bluntness.

Song Qinghuan felt a sense of powerlessness, like punching a pillow.

She looked down at the running water, feeling a bit defeated, and slapped the water, causing a splash.

“How annoying.”

“She seems quite difficult.”

As Qin Yun said, Song Qinghuan had intended to reveal her identity to make Qin Yun lose her composure.

But Qin Yun was more rational than expected, not falling for it at all.

Not even a single extra question.

A few water droplets splashed onto Song Qinghuan’s face, the cool sensation bringing her back to reality.

Quickly, she composed herself, looked at her reflection in the mirror, and slowly smiled.

“The tough ones are more fun.”

“If they’re too weak, where’s the challenge?”

tln : ???? why Song Qinghuan ?? what’s her motive???? this is so sudden, is she just wanted to ruin Fang Zhou life or what
