Chapter 757: Do You Like Me?
There was a deep look in Long Sijue’s eyes. Seeing that she ran in only wearing a tight sleeping gown, he furrowed his brows slightly.
Su Qianxun was rather embarrassed too. She knew that she had forgotten herself due to the excitement, so she quickly excused herself first.
“Hey, chick, why are you so excited? Did something good happen? Tell us about it. Let’s be happy on your behalf. Everyone has been quite low lately,” Tang Zui immediately called after her.
Su Qianxun stopped in her tracks. She raised her head nervously and glanced at the man behind the desk. She said, “It’s… not really a big deal. The advertisement I took part in is being nominated for a big award.”
Seeing the slight smile on her lips, Long Sijue’s mood instantly became better. She ran over excitedly just to share the good news with him.
“I’ll leave you alone now. Bye,” Su Qianxun said. Before the three men even reacted, she turned around and ran off.

Su Qianxun was in a great mood. Her gait became light and relaxed as she pranced back to the room. On her way, she ran into Ye Gu and shared the good news with him too.
Hearing the news, Ye Gu was genuinely happy for her. The look in his eyes when he gazed at her had also become particularly sweet and warm.
Tang Zui and Si Mancheng turned back around. They wanted to keep discussing the company’s matters with Long Sijue, but he immediately raised his hand and stopped them. He then got up and strode out of the study.
When Long Sijue pushed open the door and walked into the bedroom, he saw the young woman jumping on the bed gleefully like it was a trampoline. She was acting like a child.
Seeing him enter the room, Su Qianxun stopped jumping. Embarrassed, she got off the bed.
“You ended the meeting?” Su Qianxun blinked, staring at him.
Long Sijue walked over to the couch and sat down. He reached out to her. “Come here.”
Su Qianxun immediately jogged over to him and sat on his lap. She put her arms around his neck, and there was a coquettish smile on her face.
“You came right to me to share the news right after you received the call?” Long Sijue asked as he gazed at her clean petite face.
“Yeah! I’m so happy, and I wanted you to know about the good news immediately!” Su Qianxun’s black eyes were gleaming, as though the stars in the entire universe had been sucked into her beautiful eyes.
“Why?” Long Sijue suddenly asked again.
Hearing his question, Su Qianxun froze, but she replied naturally, “No reason. I just wanted to tell you…”
“There must be a reason.” Long Sijue’s beautiful almond-shaped eyes narrowed as he peered at her.
Su Qianxun was astounded.

The young woman blinked as she said that. However, once she said it, she was shocked herself. ‘Since when did I begin to see this man as the person who’s closest to me?’
“Do you like me?” When Long Sijue asked her that, he felt as though his heart had stopped. He kept staring at her and waiting for her answer.
His question startled Su Qianxun. She gazed at him nervously and started to look away. “About that… our relationship is bound by an agreement… With that… I…” she said weakly.
“My question has nothing to do with the agreement. I’m just asking you now… do you like me?”
Long Sijue grabbed her chin and forced her to look at him.
He waited for a moment, but he did not receive any reply from the young woman.
Disappointed, Long Sijue’s eyes were downcast. He put her down on the couch in the corner of the room, got up, and walked away…
Su Qianxun stared at him as he left. She felt a sharp ache in her heart before she suddenly raised her voice and shouted…
