Domineering protection of his daughter

The two of them walked toward the restaurant.

They pushed open the door.

A waiter came forward to greet them.

"Madam Murong has already arrived. Miss Yang and this gentleman, please follow me."

He led the two of them inside.

They went upstairs.

It was still the private room at the end of the corridor.

The waiter knocked on the door.

"Madam Murong, your guests have arrived."

Murong Wan's voice came from inside.

"Come in."

The waiter pushed open the door.

Li Wei and Yang Yun walked inside.

Murong Wan was sitting in the seat of honor.

Today, she was wearing a black qipao with a very high slit.

The qipao was dotted with plum blossoms, making her look elegant and luxurious.

Seeing the two of them,

Murong Wan was startled for a moment, then she smiled.

"Little Yang came with her boyfriend again. It seems your relationship is indeed very good."

However, that smile...

It looked a bit forced.

Yang Yun walked over.

"Sister Murong."

Li Wei nodded.

"Madam Murong."

Murong Wan motioned for the two to sit down.

"Since you're both here, please sit."

Li Wei and Yang Yun sat down across from her.

Murong Wan poured tea for the two of them.

"Have a taste. I've switched to a new tea today."

Yang Yun picked up the teacup.

She took a sip.

"The taste is quite good."

Murong Wan smiled.

That smile was still forced, as if she were weighing her words.

She set down the teapot.

"It's like this, Little Yang. I took another look at yesterday's design drafts."

Yang Yun nodded.

"Do you have any feedback?"

Murong Wan paused.

"I feel the overall style still needs adjustment."

Yang Yun was stunned for a moment.

"Adjustment?"

She paused.

"But didn't you say yesterday that you were very satisfied and no further changes were needed?"

Murong Wan picked up her teacup.

"Yesterday was yesterday, today is today."

She took a sip of tea.

"I thought about it carefully after sleeping on it."

She paused.

"I feel I'm still not satisfied enough."

Yang Yun frowned.

"Then how specifically do you want to change it?"

Murong Wan set down her teacup.

"I want to change the main stone to an emerald."

Yang Yun was stunned.

"An emerald?"

She paused.

"But you said before that you wanted to use a pink diamond, saying it suited your age and temperament."

Murong Wan smiled.

"I've changed my mind."

Yang Yun bit her lip.

"Sister Murong, the styles of emeralds and pink diamonds are completely different."

She paused.

"If we switch to an emerald, the whole piece will feel a bit somber, and all the previous designs will have to be scrapped and redone."

Murong Wan looked at her.

"Then redo them."

Yang Yun's expression changed.

"But..."

Murong Wan interrupted her.

"Little Yang, you are a professional designer."

She paused.

"I believe you can do a good job."

Yang Yun took a deep breath.

"Sister Murong, it's not that I'm unwilling to change it."

She paused.

"It's just that such a change is too massive. Our Studio has already put in so much effort."

Murong Wan raised an eyebrow.

"So you're unwilling to change it?"

Yang Yun shook her head.

"It's not that I'm unwilling."

She paused.

"It's just that it will take time."

Murong Wan smiled.

"Then how long do you need?"

Yang Yun thought for a moment.

"At least a month."

Murong Wan's face darkened.

"A month?"

She paused.

"That's too long."

Yang Yun frowned.

"But with such a major change..."

Murong Wan interrupted her.

"I can give you two weeks at most."

Yang Yun was stunned.

"Two weeks?"

She paused.

"Sister Murong, that's impossible."

Murong Wan picked up her teacup.

"Then forget it."

She took a sip of tea.

"I'll find someone else for this order."

Yang Yun's expression turned somewhat unsightly.

"Sister Murong..."

Murong Wan set down her teacup.

"Little Yang, I know you are very talented."

She paused.

"But business cooperation is about efficiency."

Yang Yun bit her lip.

"I understand..."

Murong Wan continued.

"If you can't do it, I'll just have to find someone better."

Yang Yun lowered her head.

Li Wei hadn't said a word the entire time.

He just watched quietly.

Watching Murong Wan's performance.

Because he could tell.

Murong Wan's attitude today was highly abnormal.

It was completely an act.

The guilt in her eyes,

and the unnatural way she spoke,

all pointed to one thing.

She was being forced by someone.

Li Wei leaned back against the chair.

He suddenly spoke up.

"How about this, Madam Murong."

Murong Wan turned her head.

"Does Mr. Li have something to say?"

Li Wei smiled.

"I'm just curious."

He paused.

"You were clearly very satisfied yesterday, so why the sudden change of heart today?"

Murong Wan's expression changed slightly.

"Didn't I just say?"

She paused.

"I thought about it and still felt it wasn't good. You know women are fickle creatures."

Li Wei shook his head.

"I don't believe you."

Murong Wan frowned.

"What do you mean by that, Mr. Li?"

Li Wei looked into her eyes.

"I feel that your attitude today doesn't seem to be your own intention."

Murong Wan's face darkened.

"Mr. Li, what exactly do you mean by those words?"

Li Wei smiled.

"It's nothing."

He paused.

"Just a casual remark."

Murong Wan stared at him for a few seconds.

"Mr. Li, I don't know what you're implying."

She paused.

"But I called Little Yang here today because I wanted to talk about the design."

Li Wei nodded.

"I understand."

He paused.

"However, I feel that since there's such a large disagreement, and since I'm the type of person who dotes on his girlfriend, we've decided not to take this order."

Yang Yun was stunned.

"Li Wei..."

Murong Wan was also taken aback.

"What do you mean by this, Mr. Li?"

Li Wei stood up.

"Nothing special."

He paused.

"I just feel this order isn't quite right for us."

Murong Wan's expression changed.

"Mr. Li, are you joking? If you say you won't take it now, won't all the previous efforts be in vain?"

Li Wei shook his head.

"Madam Murong, I never joke. Besides, who can guarantee that you'll definitely be satisfied after the changes?"

"So, to avoid wasting everyone's time, let's just leave it at that."

He turned to Yang Yun.

"Let's go."

Yang Yun bit her lip.

She stood up.

Murong Wan also stood up.

"Mr. Li, what is the meaning of this?"

She paused.

"Do you think I'm making things difficult for Little Yang?"

Li Wei turned his head.

"I didn't say that."

He paused.

"I just feel that since Madam Murong isn't satisfied, there's no need to force it."

Murong Wan bit her lip.

"But..."

Li Wei interrupted her.

"Madam Murong, if you have the time, go back and tell Mr. Lin something for me."

He paused.

"These kinds of petty tricks are useless against me."

Murong Wan's face turned deathly pale.

"You..."

Li Wei smiled.

"Farewell."

After saying that, he pulled Yang Yun and walked out.

He pushed open the door.

They walked out of the private room.

Murong Wan stood rooted to the spot.

She was completely stunned.

She hadn't expected,

that Li Wei would be so direct.

Directly tearing away the facade.

She bit her lip.
