nChapter 404: Mister’s childhood lover (Part 57)

nThere were some things where winning wasn’t winning and losing wasn’t losing.

nToo much attachment will trap your thoughts and you will never escape.

n

n

n–

nJi Chen sat down beside her and his gaze was a bit off. He wasn’t as helpless as before and rather he felt like he had let go.

n“Alright, next we invite number thirty four to come up for the challenge.”

nLuo Qing Chen looked down at her ticket and found it was her number.

n

n

nBut Ji Chen grabbed her hand and shook his head with a faint smile, “Don’t go, you aren’t his match.”

n“How do you know that I’m not his match!” Luo Qing Chen said with a smile, “You don’t believe in me!”

n“The question I had you do last time isn’t even at the same level as the one I gave you last time.” Ji Chen’s eyes sparkled with a look saying that he wasn’t willing to let his little assistant be bullied.

n“Are you here number thirty four? Are you planning to give up?”

n

n

n“Here!” Luo Qing Chen suddenly stood up, attracting everyone’s attention.

nShe didn’t forget to look down at Ji Chen and say in a soft voice, “If I win tonight, you have to bring me to the Crown Group’s anniversary banquet tonight.”

nAfter saying this, she turned to move up to the stage.

nShe left behind her back, causing Ji Chen to reveal a look of pity.

nKe, ke, was she supposed to be his partner?

nNo matter how he thought of it, he felt a bit excited……

n

n

nIt was like during this long time, it was a feeling he hadn’t felt in a while.

nIt was very strange……

n“Ai, this really is funny.” Li Sheng looked at her and his eyes were filled with disdain, “Don’t blame me for bullying a little girl. I’ll give you ten seconds, you can answer first.”

n“Oh, alright.” She picked up the tablet pen and turned to look at the screen with a soft laugh.

nThe questions appeared on the screen.

nLooking up, lifting her hand, and putting the pen down.

nThis took less than three seconds.

n“There’s still seven seconds.” She turned to look at Li Sheng and gave a shrug, as her expression didn’t change at all while she said, “You’ve already lost.”

n

n

n“Si——” The crowd was filled with an uproar.

nA girl that seemed incredibly young actually defeated last year’s champion in less than ten seconds of going onto the stage.

nPeople were simply shocked, as whispers began to pass through the conference hall.

nLi Sheng looked at the screen in panic before turning to the host, “This doesn’t count. I was just going easy on her, I never thought that she would take advantage of this.”

n“This……” The host said with some difficulty, “Perhaps this isn’t too……”

n“It doesn’t matter.” Luo Qing Chen cut off the host with a faint smile before looking at Li Sheng and saying, “My master said that respecting the old is good moral character, it doesn’t matter.”

n“This young miss, what is your master’s name?” An old man under the stage pushed up his glasses as he asked Luo Qing Chen.

n“Ji Chen.”

nAs soon as he voice fell, she turned to face the screen as her clear eyes lit up.

nPerhaps she didn’t know it, but this action from her on stage had moved Ji Chen’s heart.”

n“I’ll let you be arrogant for a bit.” Li Sheng gritted his teeth as he looked at her and spoke.

nThen more questions appeared on the screen.

nLuo Qing Chen always wrote the answer when Li Sheng had calculated it.

n

n

nEvery time she did this, she allowed Li Sheng to catch her within five seconds.

nAs time passed, Li Sheng became more and more unfocused and Luo Qing Chen had to wait longer and longer.

nWhen it came to the twentieth question, Luo Qing Chen looked at Li Sheng with his face covered in sweat and his messy hair and said, “Sorry, I don’t want to wait any longer.”

nAfter saying this, she wrote the answer on her tablet right away and ended the competition.
