I Have Yet to Become a Doll Today-Chapter 939 - Good Friends

Chapter 939: Chapter 939 Good Friends

Ever since Lu Yuwen started staying with the Su Family, Li Li and Su Man had been in a cold war, neither of them acknowledging the other.

Li Li couldn’t understand how things had gotten to this point. They had often fought since they were young, but they would always reconcile quickly after each fight. This was the first time they hadn’t been in contact for such a long period.

Thinking of Su Man’s personality, Li Li convinced himself in his heart that there was no need to take her seriously; that woman was just stubborn and liked to nitpick…

Since she had taken the initiative to come to him, willing to offer an olive branch, then he might as well accept the peace offering to stop his parents from nagging at home.

Without realizing it, Li Li slowed his pace, pondering what kind of expression he should wear upon meeting…

As soon as he turned the corner at the entrance, he saw Yan Qingwen’s face and was startled.

“Yan… Yan bro?” Li Li’s tone was surprised, “Are you looking for me?”

“Mhm.” Yan Qingwen looked at him suspiciously, “Who else did you think it was?”

Li Li faltered, “A colleague said… said that Su Man was looking for me.”

“Oh, Su Man is here too.” Yan Qingwen approached him, looked around, and said calmly, “Let’s talk in private.”

Li Li was a bit confused, but seeing Yan Qingwen already walking forward, he followed.

There were several lounges used for receiving guests outside. Yan Qingwen opened one of them, and Li Li saw Su Man and Lu Yuwen sitting inside, with Zhu Shu also present.

What was this situation? Why did it feel like something big was about to happen?

Li Li cautiously walked into the lounge, sat down, and asked them, “What happened?”

Yan Qingwen closed the door and said directly, “Headquarters has decided to drop the matter with the King, you should know about this, right? Is it because Professor Song has discovered something? Otherwise, there’s no reason to do so.”

Li Li was dazed, “We did hear about it, but I thought… it was…”

Unable to hold back her impatience, Su Man interrupted, “You thought what?”

Li Li replied in a low and embarrassed voice, “I thought it was one of Chu Huaijin’s tactics… you know, to be able to negotiate with the King. That kind of negotiation… to divide interests and risks.”

Su Man’s eyes widened immediately, “You knew about this, why didn’t you tell us?”

Li Li frowned, “Yan bro is not with the King right now…”

“But Yan bro is now a subject of Fu Miaoxue!” Su Man grew angry, “Yan bro has saved you so many times; didn’t you ever think to give us a heads up?”

“I wasn’t sure!” Li Li was also upset, “It was just a guess of mine; if I couldn’t be sure, why would I alarm you?”

Lu Yuwen interrupted from the side, “Manman, don’t argue with him anymore, let’s ask about the research team.”

Su Man tapped her head in frustration, “Right, you’re correct…”

Li Li, on the other hand, became agitated, looking at Lu Yuwen with disbelief, “You call her Manman?!”

Turning to Su Man, “You let him call you Manman?! What is the relationship between you two?!”

Su Man, embarrassed by his questioning, retorted with a stiff neck, “Of course, we are just friends!”

Lu Yuwen smiled tactfully, “Yes, don’t get the wrong idea. Uncle and Auntie at home call her that, and I’ve heard it so often, I started to as well…”

He put his hand on Su Man’s shoulder and said with a smile, “Manman and I are very good friends.”

Li Li clenched his fists.

Zhu Shu looked at the three of them, only wanting to sigh. She turned to Yan Qingwen, who was leaning against the door, and asked, “What do we do? Li Li doesn’t seem to know the internal situation of the research group either.”

Su Man couldn’t figure it out and asked Li Li, “Aren’t you Professor Song’s assistant? How do you not know anything?”

Lu Yuwen gently said, “Manman, perhaps Professor Song has more than one assistant, so…”

“Enough!” Li Li said irritatedly, “The research group is divided into several departments, at least for the part I’m responsible for, I am completely clear!”
