Fog Returns to the Capital

Chapter 138 Don’t Come Over Here
however--

When his gaze inadvertently swept over the person sitting on the sofa, Yan Xuting's words came to an abrupt halt.

"Chairman..."

Yan Xuting's pupils widened in shock, as if he hadn't expected Zhou Jinghuai to appear here.

In fact, he knew from that conversation that night that Zhou Jinghuai and Li Wu had an extraordinary relationship.

They used to be lovers.

Thinking of this, Yan Xuting couldn't help but clench the rose in his hand. A thorn on the stem hadn't been properly removed and had pierced deep into his palm, causing a sharp pain instantly.

Even knowing that the other party held a high position and great power, he still felt uneasy.

Yan Xuting looked at the composed man sitting there, and was about to walk inside when he said, "Isn't it inappropriate for the Chairman to be here so early in the morning—"

It was almost the instant Yan Xuting took a step inside.

Li Wu stood in front of him.

Yan Xuting was forced to stop, and the words he hadn't finished speaking were instantly silenced.

There was a moment of silence.

Yan Xuting lowered his head, looking at Li Wu who was blocking his way. The darkness in his eyes was as thick as ink, as if it were filled with extremely deep emotions.

The icy voice, as if carried by the wind and snow outside, asked, "You're protecting him?"

Yan Xuting stared intently into Li Wu's eyes and asked again, "You protected him in front of me?"

Li Wu had never heard Yan Xuting speak to her in such a cold tone before. She shook her head and said softly, "Why don't you go out first, and I'll explain it to you slowly, okay?"

After Li Wu finished speaking, Yan Xuting was still a little stunned.

I don't understand why she's asking me to leave, when he's supposed to be her boyfriend. He shouldn't be the one leaving.

Yan Xuting looked up and saw Zhou Jinghuai sitting calmly and composed not far away. Compared to when he rarely spoke on screen, he seemed less solemn and dignified at this moment.

Even so, he has held a high position for many years, and he exudes an indescribable gentle and dignified aura that inspires awe in people.

Although Zhou Jinghuai's gaze was deep and almost indifferent, when their eyes met, the subtle feeling was something he, as a man, could sense almost instantly.

"Let's talk about this outside, okay..."

Seeing Yan Xuting looking at Zhou Jinghuai, Li Wu's heart tightened. Not wanting them to have a direct conflict, she pleaded with Yan Xuting again.

Yan Xuting looked down and saw the visible tension in Li Wu's eyes.

Somehow.

Yan Xuting suddenly chuckled, a low laugh tinged with a thin layer of mockery, "Alright..."

"What's wrong with it? When have I ever not listened to what you said?"

Done.

Yan Xuting took a step back, then turned and left without looking back.
