Chapter 171: Chapter 176: Mysterious Goddess, Counter Scheme (6)

Ling Momo returned the grip, aware that now that everything was settled, she had finally taken the first step, smiling, "Mr. You, I hope we all enjoy the collaboration process!"

After shaking hands, Ling Momo stood obediently beside Li Qingshen. You Yi did not seem in a hurry to leave, instead, he turned his head, looked at Li Qingshen, and asked, "Qingshen, do you have time later? It’s been a while, how about having lunch together?"

Li Qingshen checked the time, smiled lightly, and spoke in a gentle voice, "Sure."

Ling Momo naturally knew that she was no longer needed, so she politely spoke up, "Then Teacher, if there’s nothing else, I’ll be leaving now."

"Don’t leave, we’re going to be collaborating, and we’ll inevitably meet, so why not use this opportunity to get to know each other better? Miss Ling, please join us," You Yi warmly invited Ling Momo.

Ling Momo was tormented all night by Enson and had barely managed to come sign the contract today; by now, she was somewhat tired.

But faced with You Yi’s enthusiastic invitation, she found herself unsure how to refuse.

Li Qingshen stood by, glanced at Ling Momo, saw the hesitation in her eyes and the dark circles beneath them, thought of last night’s vehement entanglement, and his eyes softened a bit. He turned his head to You Yi and subtly spoke, "She has other matters to attend to later, so she can’t join us."

You Yi had no doubts, still smiling broadly, he nodded, "That’s unfortunate. Let’s have a meal together some other time."

Ling Momo finally breathed a sigh of relief, said goodbye to Li Qingshen and You Yi, and left.

Indeed, Ling Momo was exhausted. As she left the conference room, she felt completely drained, but signing the contract had elated her. She reached the elevator, just in time to see one arriving from the top floor to her current floor. She quickly pressed the button.

As soon as she had pressed it, the elevator stopped.

The elevator doors opened slightly, and a crisp voice inside said, "I really don’t understand what’s going on—You Corporation didn’t even notify me before they changed the spokesperson!"

As the voice ended, the elevator doors slowly opened.

Jian Chenxi slightly lifted her head and saw Ling Momo walking into the elevator, her gaze dimmed slightly.

What was she doing here?

Had she heard what I just said?

If she knew her advertisement had been taken away, her heart would probably leap with joy!

A rare spark flashed in Jian Chenxi’s usually soft eyes, then her lips curled up, her voice turning exceptionally enchanting, "Niange, I’m fine!"

Ling Momo had initially felt a slight joy upon hearing Jian Chenxi’s words. She walked into the elevator with an indifferent facade, acting nonchalant, but then she heard Jian Chenxi softly call out "Niange," and her heart suddenly clenched tight.

Since that time she told Lu Niange they should break up, Ling Momo had forced herself not to think about that man, especially during this busy time.

Busyness can indeed make one momentarily forget.

But now, upon suddenly hearing his name, Ling Momo still felt dazed.
