Red Rose Café
Xinyou Qiao rested her chin with both hands, stirring the strong coffee carelessly until someone came.
When she raised her head, she saw handsome Hao Nangong.
“What does Miss Qiao want from me?” The smile on Hao’s face was lazy, and his voice was husky.
Xinyou put down the spoon, smiling, and said gently, “Hao, do you remember the last time it was at this
café, the two of us chatting?”
Hao held his chin with both hands and made a thoughtful appearance, then he shook his head and
said, “Sorry, I don’t remember anything.”
Xinyou wasn’t annoyed and said, “Then let me help you recall. You mentioned that design and told me
that Mr. Ye was looking for the owner. Don’t you remember?”
Hao made a look of sudden enlightenment and asked in a gentle tone, “Why do you mention this?”
Xinyou elegantly took a sip of her coffee and said slowly, “At the time, I thought you didn’t mean to
mention it, but after something happened, I think you did it on purpose!”
“Oh?”
“When I saw you anxiously carried Venus away yesterday after she fainted, it made me wonder if you...
liked Venus.” Xinyou directly cut to the chase and said with certainty.
Hao didn’t answer immediately.
Xinyou was anxious, but she had to pretend to be calm and continued, “You deliberately told me about
that because you wanted me to learn that Kerry was looking for me, then let me take the initiative to
approach Kerry, and when we’re together, you’ll be able to get Venus. Am I right?”
Nangong snorted and finally said, “Miss Qiao is indeed a smart person. Since you know this, I will be
honest. I do think so.”
Xinyou couldn’t help but feel relieved, and continued to ask, “How do you know that I will definitely
approach Kerry?”
Hao raised his chin slightly, his tone a bit lazy, “Because I can see ambitions in your eyes.”
Ambition?
She thought she had been hiding it well, but she didn’t expect to be seen by him, but it seemed he
wasn’t just a dude who just played with women like the rumors said.
Since this was the case, Xinyou was going to tell the truth and directly said, “I’m looking for you today
because I want you to work with me. You want Venus and I want Kerry. Since we have the same goal,
why not join hands?”
What Xinyou said seemed to arouse Hao’s interest, he pondered a little and said indifferently, “If you
want to cooperate, why don’t you show your sincerity?”
Xinyou looked stunned and asked, “I don’t understand what you mean.”
Hao pointed at the bag on the table to her left and said, “If we are cooperating, why do we need a
wiretap. Is it because we don’t have confidence in each other?”
Xinyou looked shocked after hearing his words.
She did have a wiretap in her bag. Though she was here to find Hao for cooperation, she wanted to
leave enough wriggle room. She was worried that if the cooperation didn’t work out, he was Kerry’s
best friend, and if he told Kerry this, then what she has done for Kerry would be in vain.
Xinyou took a deep breath and pulled it out of her bag and tossed it to him, asking in confusion, “How
did you know I would have this in my bag?”
Hao laughed carelessly and said indifferently, “I’m naturally sensitive to these things.”
People always thought that he only played with women, but they didn’t know that he had numerous
brushes with death.
It was that time, when he thought he was going to meet God, Venus saved him by accident.
Xinyou nodded and said, “OK.”
Hao looked at her, asking with his husky voice, “In order to put my partner at ease, I need to confess
something to you.”
Xinyou frowned and said, “What is it?”
“I know that the owner of the design is actually Venus.”
Xinyou froze and the hand holding the coffee cup trembled slightly, asking incredulously, “How do you
know that?”
“You don’t have to know. I just want to make a request.”
“What request?”
