Zhou Xuan leaned forward slightly, closing the distance between him and Shan Yue. “I hope that no matter what happens in the future, we can face it together. I hope it can reduce the burden on you.”

In the face of Zhou Xuan’s words, Shan Yue did not say anything, her face did not show any obvious changes. She was even extremely calm. However, there were already ripples in her heart. After her previous life’s experience, it had once completely frozen her heart.

Shan Yue had long been prepared not to let down her guard against any strangers, because the only betrayal she had suffered was from the people closest to her.

Until Zhou Xuan’s appearance made her change her mind.

The ice in her heart slowly melted, and Zhou Xuan’s figure gradually became a part of her life.

“President Zhou, I can understand what you mean, but it takes time to adapt. I’m used to being alone. It’s inevitable that I won’t be used to having another person in my life.”

Shan Yue did not hide anything in her words. “But you don’t have to worry too much. Since we’ve already made our intentions clear, I’ll make changes. After all, only by giving in to each other can the two of us go further.”

“I’m really glad to hear you say that.” Zhou Xuan’s lips curled into an obvious smile. If the employees of his company saw this scene, they would definitely think that Zhou Xuan had been provoked. Otherwise, why would he have such a smile?

“Alright, we’ve said enough sweet words. It’s time to get down to business.”

“Business?” Zhou Xuan’s eyes were filled with confusion. “Didn’t such a small commotion just happen? What other business can there be?”

“Of course. You’ve known me for so long, you should know that 1 make sufficient plans before I do anything. I won’t take action without full confidence.”

Shan Yue put away her smiling expression. “You weren’t part of today’s plan. I wonder why you suddenly appeared here? Don’t tell me it’s a coincidence. If it was really a coincidence, you wouldn’t have brought so many people with you.”

The sudden question stunned Zhou Xuan. He really did not expect Shan Yue to ask about what had happened just now. At this moment, Zhou Xuan had no choice. He could not ignore Shan Yue and not answer. Hence, his mind quickly turned, trying to find a reason that could fool Shan Yue’s eyes.

“It’s… actually because there’s a project in the company that hasn’t been going well recently. There have always been local people causing trouble. I happen to go over today to deal with this.”

Zhou Xuan paused for a few seconds. “The environment there is chaotic after all, so I brought some people over. On the way back, I just happened to pass by the entrance of the shop and realized that something was wrong.”

“President Zhou, have you forgotten? I’ve always been sober and didn’t really faint. I heard the entire process of you coming in clearly.”

Shan Yue did not show any mercy and directly exposed Zhou Xuan’s words.

“You looked for me as soon as you came in. It’s obvious that you brought people here for today’s matter, not for any project.”

Zhou Xuan was at a loss for words. At this moment, no matter what reason he found, he would not be able to survive.

“If I’m not wrong, that kid Chang Ling must have told you.”

Shan Yue’s red lips opened and closed. “Only Chang Ling knows about what happened to me today. He was afraid that something would happen to me and had always wanted to follow me, but I rejected him. So he told you and asked you to protect me.”

Seeing that he could no longer hide it, Zhou Xuan decided to tell the truth.

“You’re right, but you’re wrong about him. Actually, it wasn’t Chang Ling who called me to tell me.”

Zhou Xuan did not push all the responsibility to Chang Ling. “I wanted to ask you out today, but I didn’t know if your company was busy, so I asked He Sheng to call Chang Ling. He said that you would go out this afternoon, so I started asking. He actually didn’t want to tell me, but in the end, he had no choice but to tell me..”
