Chapter 14: The Usual Place, I Want to See You (4)
Ling Momo gently pushed open the door and saw Li Qingshen standing quietly in front of the floor-to-ceiling window. On the nearby coffee table was a delicate little teapot, with a teacup beside it emanating curling steam, the fragrance of tea drifting gently through the air.
Li Qingshen wore a beige shirt, standing with his back to her, exuding a casual elegance. The sunlight outside the floor-to-ceiling window was splendidly bright, the sky blue and clouds white, the mountains high and trees green, like a beautifully composed painting.
Yet, this scene seemed somewhat familiar to Ling Momo.
In her mind, she couldn’t help but connect the man in front of her with Enson. Enson had also stood with his back to her like this. Outside the floor-to-ceiling window of the "Imperial Palace" penthouse was the bustling night view of City X.
Ling Momo couldn’t help but furrow her brow. Before she could think deeply, Li Qingshen had already turned his head, disturbing the quiet beauty, creating waves of stunning surprise.
That kind of astonishment was neither seductive nor flamboyant, neither sharp nor ostentatious, yet it could make one instantly hold one’s breath, as if, with the slightest carelessness, everything before them might dissolve into nothingness.
The man’s eyes were deep-set, his nose high-bridged, his facial contours flawless, merging depth with mystery.
Even though Ling Momo had faced this face many times, she still couldn’t help but be transfixed.
"You’re early today," Li Qingshen spoke, his tone hollow.
"Mm." Ling Momo obediently nodded like a schoolgirl, respectfully walked up to Li Qingshen, and stood properly, "I had nothing to do today, so I came a bit early."
Li Qingshen raised the teacup from the table and drank it in one go. Ling Momo immediately bent down, refilled his tea cup, and presented it with both hands, smiling amiably, "Teacher, what should I do today?"
