Chapter 0025 – You belong to me now (1 / 2)

“Instead of being exposed, it’s better to be proactive and take the initiative by going public!”

When Su Wanqing heard this, her brain seemed to be hit by a heavy hammer and buzzed.

“You’re going public? Kizhi Iu, do you realize what you’re saying?”

She wondered if she’d misheard him, or if he was just playing games again.

“Need I repeat that?”

Qi Zhiyu glanced sideways, his dark eyes flickering with a smirking light.

Su Wanqing’s heart instantly rippled inside, uneasiness coming like a tidal wave.

“If you insist on disclosure, then the issue of liquidated damages should not be brought up again in the future!”

She tried to use it as a final bargaining chip.

“Liquidated damages?”

The corners of Qi Zhi Iu’s mouth rose and his tone was relaxed, “YG will make an official announcement and there will be no risk of default.”

“That’s a relief, isn’t it?”

He seemed to know everything.

“Qi Zhi Iu, have you really thought this through?”

Su Wanqing’s hand clenched and unclenched at her side, the anxiety in her heart overflowing.

“Once it becomes public, my past with Knight Banquet Boat will once again become the center of public opinion ……”

That would mean that YG would be caught in the center of the storm once again and suffer the pressure of public opinion.

“YG has a mature PR team, there’s no need for you to worry too much about that.”

Qi Zhi Iu stepped closer, his broad palms naturally encircling her waist, “What you should consider is how to play the role of Mrs. Qi.”

“The playboy of the Qi family has taken the Knight family’s much favored bastard lover as his wife. The attention and talk about you in the outside world is nothing less than mine.”

His words sounded as if they were full of care, but in Su Wanqing’s ears, they tasted like a threat.

The Li family, could no longer withstand any more storms, especially during the critical period of cooperation with Jiang Cheng.

“How soon will the announcement be made?”

Since she couldn’t stop Qi Zhiyu, she needed to at least know what the other party was planning.

Qi Zhiyu pondered for a moment, “How about picking the time of our wedding anniversary? Wouldn’t that make it more memorable?”

There was a hint of cunning and tenderness hidden in his offer.

Wedding anniversary?

That’s right, right at the end of this month, that ritualistic day is approaching.

Coincidentally, however, this also marks an important moment in the upcoming groundbreaking of the River City project, one that will shape the future of the city.

He had sworn to assure her that he would not take direct action against Knight Banquet Boat, but the Knight family, however, was in his plans.

Thinking of this, Su Wanqing couldn’t help but coalesce a ball of unrelenting worry between her brows.

At one time, she had thought it was just a casual threat on his part, not realizing that he was so serious.

Noticing the flash of indifference that swept across her face, Qi Zhi Iu’s eyes sank slightly, like dark currents lurking beneath the surface of a midnight lake, “You don’t look happy, do you?”

“You have said that outsiders will not talk less about my past than I have endured …… How can I be happy under these circumstances?”

Her gaze lowered grimly as she tried her best to suppress the unspeakable sourness in her heart.

If she had turned back the clock to three years ago, when he chose to publicize that marriage certificate, perhaps she would have been filled with joy.

But now, faced with the almost unbridgeable gulf between them, nothing seems to exist except faceless emotion.

Qi Zhiyu’s chin gently rested against the top of her head, his voice carrying a hint of unquestionable firmness, “This matter, leave it to me. I just need you to promise me to do your best to be a qualified Mrs. Qi.”

She gripped the corner of his coat, and after a moment’s silence, spoke hesitantly, “So, what do you want me to do?”
