Chapter 498
He said those words seriously in his deep, mellow voice, which caught An Xiaxia off-guard and made her blush .

“It’s not a big deal…” She knew his feelings for her and that was enough .
Sheng Yize held her face in his hands and said affectionately, “I love you . I love you very much . ”
The view of the street flitted past outside, but all they could see was each other’s faces .
At school .
Because of the training session for the maths competition, Su Xiaomo missed the incident in the piano room, which had her moaning and groaning for a long time .
The maths teacher cast her a few stern looks, but she returned every one of them with an equally intense gaze .

The teacher didn’t know what to do and went out to get some water .
Bored, Su Xiaomo solved a few problems before an idea dawned on her . She tore off a piece of draft paper, cut it into small pieces with a utility knife, wrote some words on them, and pushed the pieces to He Jiayu .
He Jiayu looked up in confusion and Su Xiaomo gave her lively introduction . “I learned fortune-telling . Each of these strips has a character on it — one each of “metal,” “wood,” “water,” “fire” and “earth . ” Pick one, and I’ll tell you your fortune based on your birthday and the five elements!”
He replied with an “oh,” took out a blank piece of paper, and handed it to Su Xiaomo .
Su Xiaomo’s face darkened . “Bro, are you trying to be funny? How am I going to tell you anything with a blank piece of paper? At least give me one of the five elements! Otherwise how am I supposed to know which element you lack and which will boost your luck?!”
He Jiayu smiled . “I think all I need is you . ”
Su Xiaomo: (⊙o⊙)

She was dumbfounded .
The next second, her face lit up .
She was all pink and bubbly inside! Aww!
While everyone else seemed to be enjoying their love life, a pale-faced Qi Yanxi removed the needle from the back of his hand and walked out of the hospital .
He had lost count of the number of people he had met and the amount of alcohol he had gulped down in the past two days . Last night, he had been sent to the hospital for bleeding in his stomach .
But he didn’t have a choice . Father Qi was still in a coma and Lu He was up to no good, trying to get the shares of the Qi Group redistributed . All hell had broken loose in the Qi family and the stock price had slumped . He had no one to depend on apart from himself .

The only thing that had kept him going was the belief that the Qi Group couldn’t go to an outsider .
Although his old man was grumpy and liked to beat him up, he was still his father . Under these circumstances, Qi Yanxi had resolutely decided to stand by his father’s side .
His phone rang . It was from Father Qi’s assistant . After some thought, he said hesitantly, “You’ve tried all the possible options, but there’s one family that you could still consider . ”
“Which is?”
“The Li family . ”
After a very long silence, Qi Yanxi fought back the bloody taste in his mouth and said in an exhausted voice, “Alright . ”
His car stopped outside the Li family home and the Li family servant welcomed him inside .
Father Li greeted him enthusiastically, but wouldn’t even mention the possibility of helping the Qi family . Throughout the meal, Qi Yanxi felt like he was eating cardboard .
“Uncle Li… Our families have always been quite close . All I need now is a word from you and a tiny bit of help…” Qi Yanxi pleaded in a humble tone . Father Li chuckled . “We’ll talk about it later . Here, try this dish…”
Li Fanxing darted Qi Yanxi a look and smiled scornfully .
Father Li then glanced at her and Li Fanxing took the hint immediately .
“Since he’s here, Dad, give the Qi family a hand . ”
Qi Yanxi clenched his fists . He didn’t believe that Li Fanxing would speak for him that easily .
As expected, Li Fanxing went on casually, “But, Yanxi, you have to show some sincerity . How about going down on your knees? Maybe I’ll try to persuade my dad . ”
