My CEO Husband Has Some Issues

Chapter 468: Chapter 468: Begging for Mercy at the Door
Rong Weiwei held the cold coffee, subtly furrowing her brow as she took a sip.

The coffee was supposed to taste bittersweet, but the completely cold beverage had lost all its sweetness, leaving only bitterness.

She drank half a mouthful, almost spitting it out.

Yet considering she wasn’t alone, she forced herself to swallow the bitter coffee.

“District Chief, should I go out and take a look?” the secretary suggested in a soft voice, seeing no movement at the door.

Qu Linjun was annoyed, but he was aware that the man of legend was not someone to provoke. Despite his unhappiness, he stopped the secretary from going to look for him.

“No need! You stay right here! Even if we have to wait until midnight, we’ll wait properly.”

No sooner had he spoken than the door opened.

It was the same assistant who had brought them coffee earlier. Wearing a professional suit and smiling, she was greeted by three pairs of eyes. She said softly, “Mr. Li invites you to the meeting room.”

Finally—

Qu Linjun let out a sigh of relief and immediately stood up, “Please lead the way.”

“Certainly.”

Rong Weiwei, too, was getting impatient. She set down the unpleasant cold coffee, stood up, and followed the footsteps of the others.

The meeting room was just around the corner from the reception room, less than 3 meters away, yet they had been sitting on cold benches for nearly two hours.

She had come along with the Lin City District Chief. His position was neither large nor small. The fact that Li Shengxiao had made them sit for so long on cold benches gave her a new perspective on the man.

“Knock, knock.” The assistant led them to the door and knocked respectfully, announcing, “Mr. Li, your guests are here.”

“Come in!” came the husky, low voice of a man.

The assistant pushed the door open, smiling at them as she said, “Please come in.”

Rong Weiwei, following behind, held her breath—only to see the man sitting at the head of the table against the light. His short, sharp hair complemented a face so chiseled and well-defined that it was flawless, and his commanding and noble presence was so potent and compelling that it was hard not to stare.

Shi Mufeng wasn’t bad either, but he clearly fell short in comparison to this man.

If… she could make this man head over heels for her…

Just like Shi Mufeng had been once.

A bold idea sprang to Rong Weiwei’s mind, as if she could already see that scenario unfolding. Her eyes brightly found their mark on the man who had entered, as if there were hooks within them that were close to ensnaring him.

“Mr. Li,” she said in a soft voice, her expression brimming with a smile as if she really knew Li Shengxiao.

Qu Linjun felt a surge of joy and followed suit with a greeting, “Mr. Li.”

The proud and arrogant man set down the document in his hand, glanced at the time on his watch, then looked up, his gaze sweeping past Qu Linjun and pausing on Rong Weiwei.

This face…

How ugly.

He rarely remembered anyone’s face, much less paid attention to whether a woman was beautiful or ugly. He only remembered one woman was beautiful!

And this woman… She was so ugly that she had made an unforgettable impression on him.

His thin lips tightened, and a hint of coldness swept through his hawk-like eyes, “Since when did District Chief Qu have a female secretary?”

His attitude was cold, even slightly impatient.

Seeing this stripped Qu Linjun of his newfound confidence, leaving him feeling completely uncertain. He explained with a forced smile, “Mr. Li, you really have a sense of humor. Weiwei is the niece I recognize. You should have seen her on TV. And…”
