Arranged marriage, love blossoms; a fiercely devoted soldier dotes on her alone.

at this time,

Room 666, inner room.

Upon hearing Zhang Xiaochun's words, Yao Xueqin's lips curled into a mocking sneer. She said, "I believe a leopard can't change its spots. If you believe pigs can fly, do you know how credible your words are?"

"Judging from how fluently you speak, I wonder how many times you've said these things to other women."

"Zhang Xiaochun, what makes you think I should believe you?"

Zhang Xiaochun was stunned when he heard Yao Xueqin say that. The plot of the script was completely different from what he had expected. He was very curious about where Yao Xueqin got the confidence to challenge him.

There was a time when I could manipulate her however I wanted, and she had no choice but to cry and yell. Now that she's found a job and become a supervisor, things are definitely different.

Yao Xueqin's current confidence, of course, comes from Qin Huanhuan...

After Zhang Xiaochun called Yao Xueqin, Qin Huanhuan took Hua Ying and left room 666 in time, leaving Lan Xue behind to help Yao Xueqin deal with Zhang Xiaochun.

Zhang Xiaochun blinked, his old face flushed red, and his lips twitched involuntarily. His brain was rapidly considering how to make Yao Xueqin believe him. If he couldn't get close to Yao Xueqin and couldn't reach a cooperation agreement with Guose Tianxiang Group, the young lady had just made it clear that she would withdraw her investment without hesitation. In that case, he would have gained nothing.

"thump."

Zhang Xiaochun knelt directly in front of Yao Xueqin, tears streaming down his face, and said, "Xueqin, that was the me of the past. I know I was wrong now. I've secured investment, and I might make a comeback soon. Xueqin, please believe in me one last time, okay? I was young and naive before, but now that I'm middle-aged, I've gradually come to understand that the best state of a relationship is to express feelings but keep them within bounds. Accept all encounters with equanimity, and clearly uphold all bottom lines. Not denying attraction is accepting the true nature of humanity, and guarding boundaries is upholding one's conscience."

"Xueqin, please believe me. For the rest of my life, I will treat you even better. May we both possess the clarity and restraint of adulthood. Let us cherish the person in front of us, guard the boundaries in our hearts, silently treasure the beautiful moments of our lives, and carefully manage the remaining years filled with the mundane realities of daily life. Let all inappropriate feelings stop at the right time, and let all serendipitous encounters return to peace. Let our hearts flutter with emotion but remain respectful, and our feelings be measured. Let us not betray the past, not betray the companionship, and not betray the peace of the rest of our lives."

With tears streaming down his face, Zhang Xiaochun spoke at length, his expression sincere. In fact, these words were something Deng Nannan had just taught him. After all, Deng Nannan was a key talent cultivated by the Deng family, a graduate of prestigious universities like Tsinghua and Peking University. She had also worked with Xu Jiaying for many years to build the company into a powerful force, and she had contributed a lot to that. In addition, Zhang Xiaochun spent his days surrounded by women, playing along and using sweet talk. He was used to saying one thing to one person and another to someone else. With just a little guidance, he understood the intricacies of the situation. Otherwise, how could he have won Lin Ruoxi's favor?

Don't you say,

Zhang Xiaochun's words left Yao Xueqin stunned. She looked at the man kneeling in front of her, weeping bitterly.

It feels like a lifetime ago.

once Upon a time,

Zhang Xiaochun could only recall those scenes with her, and now this man was kneeling before him.

Does he really realize he was wrong?

Has he really changed for the better?

It is said that a man's knees are worth gold. When the two of them were fighting like crazy before, Zhang Xiaochun never knelt down for her, nor did he ever say sorry. Let alone say so many sweet words just now. Could it be that he has really repented and started anew?

For a moment, Yao Xueqin watched as Zhang Xiaochun hesitated and couldn't make up his mind.

Zhang Xiaochun was always opportunistic. Seeing Yao Xueqin's hesitation, he knew that what he had just said had touched her heart, indicating that she still had feelings for him.

So, seizing the opportunity, he said, "Xueqin, I swear, I know I was wrong. Please give me a chance to repent and start anew."

To be honest, Zhang Xiaochun's barrage of sweet words and flattery left Yao Xueqin a little dazed and confused.

"Why."

He sighed and said, "Zhang Xiaochun, get up first. Don't let my colleagues see this and laugh at us. People will think I did something to you."

"By the way, you didn't greet Lan Xue when you came in, did you? I was able to get into Guose Tianxiang Group and become a sales manager thanks to Lan Xue. She actively recommended me to the general manager. Now, she is the only one who will stick by me and help me sincerely."

Seeing that Yao Xueqin's tone had softened, Zhang Xiaochun was secretly delighted. He then stood up and said, "We should thank Lan Xue properly. I was focused on you when I came in and didn't notice Lan Xue."

"Xueqin, I'll pay for tonight's bill, and then I'll treat everyone to karaoke to celebrate your promotion to supervisor and also to celebrate our reconciliation. I'm going to pursue you like before and make you feel surrounded by love."

Yao Xueqin rolled her eyes and said, "Zhang Xiaochun, I never agreed to get back together with you, and I can't forgive you so easily."

Zhang Xiaochun shamelessly asked, "Xueqin, what do you want me to do for you to forgive me?"

Our son keeps saying he misses you.

Zhang Xiaochun is playing the family card again.

Remembering what Qin Huanhuan and Hua Ying had told her before they left, Yao Xueqin asked, "Zhang Xiaochun, you just said you've opened another cosmetics company and want to cooperate with Guose Tianxiang Group. What kind of products do you have on hand right now?"

Zhang Xiaochun's eyes flickered a few times before he said, "Xueqin, let's not talk about work tonight. Take me to meet your colleagues. I want to thank them properly, and then we'll go to karaoke."

As Zhang Xiaochun spoke, he took Yao Xueqin's hand and led her to the outer room...

Yao Xueqin wanted to shake off his hand, but then she remembered what Qin Huanhuan had told her, so she endured the nausea and let Zhang Xiaochun hold her hand.

at the same time,

Two luxury cars were parked under a big tree across the street from the barbecue restaurant. Qin Huanhuan was on the phone in one of the cars.

She said, "Deng Nannan, I understand what you just said. Thank you for letting me know in time."

On the other end of the phone, Deng Nannan continued in a low voice, "President Qin, I've told you everything I know. Young Master Xiao hopes you can put in a good word for me and get him to give me what my ex-husband has as soon as possible. Don't worry, once I get it, I'll leave immediately and never come back."

Qin Huanhuan said calmly, "I understand. I will talk to my husband, but I can't make the specific decisions."

Deng Nannan: "Thank you, President Qin. I will contact you as soon as there are any new developments. I have to go back now, otherwise Miss will become suspicious."

Deng Nannan hung up the phone, deleted the call recording, and then carefully checked it again to make sure there were no problems. Only then did she flush the toilet, straighten her clothes, and walk out of the bathroom back to her room, where she saw Deng Ying sitting there alone eating barbecue.

Deng Nannan was inexplicably touched and couldn't help but sigh to herself, "How glorious the Deng family was once! Since Deng Zhi's death, it has fallen into decline and can never return to its former glory."

At this moment, Deng Ying looked up at Deng Nannan and calmly said, "Sister Nan, can I use your phone for a moment?"
