When Manager Qian heard Xie Changyan call him, his heart clenched suddenly, and dense sweat seeped out on his forehead.
It seemed that the woman in front of him was very familiar with Young Master Xie. His initial attitude of watching the drama from the sidelines disappeared all at once, replaced by tension.
âManager Qian, since when did our company become so lax in auditing partners that we now choose to cooperate with people who have no integrity or quality?â Xie Changyan frowned and scoffed, his eyes harboring a chill as they swept over Wu Yanghui.
âWho are you?â Wu Yanghui, hearing the ridicule directed at himself, glared angrily at Xie Changyan, âThis is a family matter, mind your own business!â
Lin Xu mocked, âFamily matter? How come I didnât know we had a family member like you?â
âYou ingrate!â Wu Yanghui kept repeating himself, with the same old rhetoric spouting from his mouth.
The cheek that had just been slapped still throbbed faintly with pain, and thinking about this only fueled his anger further.@@novelbin@@
He waved his hand and took two steps forward, intending to return the slap he had received.
Seeing Wu Yanghui getting furious, Manager Qian quickly grabbed his arm and whispered in his ear, âThis is our companyâs CEO, Xie Changyan. Your cousin obviously has a close relationship with Young Master Xie. If you offend your cousin, not to mention that Xieâs wonât cooperate with you, you wonât be able to get by in this country afterward!â
Upon hearing this, Wu Yanghuiâs rationality instantly returned.
He looked at Xie Changyan, and his face immediately twisted into an eager smile, âYoung Master Xie, look at me, completely unaware of who you are, my sincerest apologies for not recognizing you.â
Seeing that Xie Changyan was not paying him any attention, he turned his head to Lin Xu and said, âIt was all my fault just now. I shouldnât have spoken about you and your family like that. I apologize to you, please donât hold it against me, will you?â
His face changed so quickly.
Lin Xu, with a cold expression, revealed a hint of mockery and, not wanting to see his hypocritical flattery anymore, decisively pulled Xie Changyan back to the private room.
The mood that had been quite good for Lin Xu was completely ruined after encountering Wu Yanghui, and her chopsticks angrily stabbed at the food in her bowl.
âIt seems like the slap you gave him earlier was too light, considering you still havenât cooled down.â
Lin Xu heard Xie Changyanâs voice, looked up, and saw his eyes carrying a slight smile, his lips parting lightly, âDo you want to take revenge?â
âHow should I take revenge?â Lin Xu was startled for a moment, and it took her a few seconds to react.
She had just heard that Wu Yanghui wanted to do business with Xieâs, and the person in charge of Xieâs was right before her eyes.
Whether to cooperate with Wu Yanghui or not was merely a word from Xie Changyan.
Besides.
Xie Changyan was also the father of their child.
If their child was bullied, as a father, wasnât it only right for him to take revenge for his own child?
With that thought, Lin Xuâs eyes suddenly burst with excitement, âYes, please help me!â
Xie Changyan chuckled softly, his deep voice drawing out a long tone, âDepends on the mood~â
Lin Xu immediately got up, sat beside him, and gently pounded his shoulder with her small fists as if massaging it.
Her clear, beautiful eyes brimmed with joy as she gazed at him intently,
as if luring someone into temptation.
âAre you feeling better now?â Lin Xu tilted her head slightly
Since he did not speak for a long time, Lin Xu shifted, thinking about massaging his other shoulder.
Shift and shift.
The chair on the other side of her body tipped up due to being unbalanced, and Lin Xu fell straight onto Xie Changyan.
Xie Changyan instinctively wrapped his arms around her waist, steadying her body.
Their bodies pressed closely together, and they could even feel each otherâs soft bodily curves. Their breaths intermingled in that instant, and warmth gradually spread between them.
Their gazes locked onto each other, and everything around them seemed eerily quiet, with only the sounds of their breathing and heartbeats audible to each other.
Xie Changyanâs hand tightened around her waist, his gaze grew deeper, a restlessness surged up in his heart, and his Adamâs apple unconsciously bobbed up and down.
Just as Lin Xu slightly lifted her chin, he suddenly helped her back to the chair, creating some distance between them.
âI do feel much better,â Xie Changyanâs voice emerged with a soft chuckle.
His deep, magnetic voice reached Lin Xuâs ears, making them burn with heat.
She wasnât sure if he was answering her previous question or referring to the pleasure of her literally throwing herself into his arms.
Lin Xu secretly pressed on her wildly thumping heart and pursed her lips.
How could this man still be so flirtatious even with amnesia?
The next day.
Su Linzhou arrived at Xieâs and saw Xie Changyan, who was leisurely lounging with a hand resting casually on the back of the sofa chair.
His long legs were carelessly crossed, his other hand holding a cellphone, eyes on the screen, the corners of his lips unconsciously curling into a faint smile.
It was a message from Lin Xu.
[The necklace you gave isnât bad, I quite like it.]
Before they parted the day before, he had given Lin Xu a little gift; it seemed she really liked it.
âYo, you seem to be in a good mood today?â Su Linzhouâs brows lightly lifted as he sat down opposite him, teasingly saying, âDonât tell me you won the beautyâs affection?â
Xie Changyan gave him a sidelong glance and turned off his cellphone screen.
His indifferent demeanor was a stark contrast to the second before.
Su Linzhou protested noisily, âWhatâs with this double standard of yours!â
Xie Changyan extended his hand, âWhereâs the thing I asked for?â
Su Linzhou placed the document he was holding onto the table, âHere, do you have a grudge against this Wu Yanghui? To even need me to personally check his background, what a waste of resources.â
Xie Changyan flipped through the pages nonchalantly, nothing stood out as peculiar, except when he saw that Wu Yanghui was a cousin of Ji Tingyang, his gaze turned noticeably colder.
His thoughts became tangled once more.
Did she want to deal with Wu Yanghui because of herself, or because of Ji Tingyang?
There was no warmth in Xie Changyanâs eyes, and his tone was calm and unrippled as he tossed the documents onto the table, âHandle this for me, make them all stop transacting with this man.â
âNo way, youâre really going that far?â Su Linzhou was surprised.
Before bringing over this document, Su Linzhou had also seen it and knew Wu Yanghui was Ji Tingyangâs cousin.
If Xie Changyan were to blacklist Wu Yanghui within the circle, wouldnât that be equivalent to directly opposing the Ji Family?
All of this for a woman?
âAre you really going to confront Ji Tingyang head-on?â Su Linzhou asked.
âLess talking,â Xie Changyanâs cold eyes glared at him.
Su Linzhou shook his head and clicked his tongue, âYouâre really lost in love, beyond saving.â
In the following days.
Lin Xu occasionally received updates from Xie Changyan.
He told her about how Wu Yanghui had repeatedly sought partnerships outside and hit a wall every time.
Lin Xu felt greatly satisfied upon hearing this, and her mood improved a lot.
However, she hadnât expected Wu Yanghui to be so shameless as to directly run to the Ji Mansion to look for them.
