Cao Qing's chest tightened, and for a moment she found her breathing becoming hurried as she suppressed the urge to speak incoherently.
"So what do you, what do you want... Have you already told Bao Yancheng?"
Seeing Cao Qing become flustered, her hands clenching tight and looking completely at a loss, Cheng Tong hastened to speak.
"No! I haven't replied to President Bao yet."
Cao Qing's gaze jerked towards him, her eyes filled with both hope and confusion, "Why?"
Cheng Tong avoided Cao Qing's stare, lowering his eyelids as he chose his words carefully.
"I want to know what considerations you and Miss Wen had in keeping this from President Bao."
Cao Qing let out a sigh of relief, but still felt a tingling sensation down her spine.
She twisted open a bottle of mineral water and took a few sips, finally relieving the stiffness in her throat.
"Heh, the reason? Cheng Tong, you've never been in love, have you?"
