Those words were a blatant challenge to Sheng Yize’s love for her.

An Xiaxia frowned and said “excuse me,” ready to walk away from Lan Yu.

However, Lan Yu wasn’t going to let it drop. She said slowly, “You’re here today for the project with Mr. Xu, aren’t you? The Xu Group has been eagerly trying to join hands with the Song Group, and now that you and Sheng Yize are here in person, I bet Mr. Xu is over the moon.”

What was that supposed to mean?

Wasn’t Mr. Xu reluctant to work with them?

Seeing the suspicious look on An Xiaxia’s face, Lan Yu rose to her feet and walked toward her. Her well-tailored dress moved in pretty waves as she walked. A slit ran up as high as her thighs, revealing her fair, sexy legs. She was really a rare beauty.

“Xiaxia, there’s this little secret I’ve been meaning to share with you.” Lan Yu smiled, then whispered in An Xiaxia’s ear.

An Xiaxia’s face instantly turned ghastly pale.

She stared at Lan Yu in disbelief, but Lan Yu only looked back at her with a coquettish smile.

“What a surprise.” Lan Yu’s red lips curled up and she caressed An Xiaxia’s cheek. “I almost pity you at times. Oh, by the way, Sheng Yize knows it, too. How much must he hate you? And he has to live with you all this time as if nothing happened. He even had two kids with you... sigh...”

The mention of her kids brought An Xiaxia back to reality.

She threw off Lan Yu’s hand and said harshly, “Don’t touch me!”

Lan Yu wasn’t offended at all. “It’s not right to vent your anger on an innocent bystander.”

“I don’t believe you!” An Xiaxia bit her lip. “Lan Yu, stop trying your tricks on me! I’m not going to believe a word out of your mouth!”

Maybe she couldn’t tell how much Sheng Yize loved her with her eyes.

But, she had a heart.

Sheng Yize wasn’t exactly good-natured. He had many character flaws and he wasn’t as perfect as other people thought he was.

But, she had never doubted his love for her!

She walked toward Sheng Yize on trembling legs. Seeing her pale face, Sheng Yize frowned. “Xiaxia, what’s wrong?”

An Xiaxia held his hand so tight that she thought she was going to lose control.

That secret was such a hard blow to her...

She stared at that face within her reach — the beautiful eyes, stunning features, and that mesmerizing mole under his eye.

Would a man like this lie to her?

She began to waver.

“Xiaxia.” Sheng Yize raised his voice a little as he called her name again, waking An Xiaxia up from her reverie. “Is Mr. Xu here?”

Sheng Yize looked around the room and nodded. “Yes.”

He led An Xiaxia toward the man and Mr. Xu greeted them warmly. He cleared his throat after a stern look from Sheng Yize and put away that obsequious smile.

“From my personal point of view, I intend to work with Diguang Bank, but there are still many objections in my company. However, since Mr. and Mrs. Sheng have come here in person to demonstrate your sincerity, it would be too rude to turn you down. I’ll do my best to make this cooperation happen!”

It was a pitch that was neither humble nor pushy, with just the right amount of warmth.

He had been practicing it for days!

Sheng Yize was satisfied with his performance. He said unhurriedly, “In that case, I’m looking forward to hearing good news from Mr. Xu.”

“Sure, sure.”

They raised their glasses, clinked, and drank them down in one go.

An Xiaxia interjected suddenly, “If it’s too much trouble for Mr. Xu, we won’t press the matter further. Cooperation only works when both sides are willing.”

That baffled Mr. Xu right away. That was not what Sheng Yize had said when the latter approached him!
