Yan Xuxu let out a soft hum.

The sensation was both painful and itchy, yet it felt like a tingling sensation in the bone marrow.

She looked into the man's dangerous eyes and knew he wasn't joking.

Reluctant to give up, yet powerless to do anything about it, she could only grit her teeth and agree, "Okay."

Anyway, her relationship with Shen Mingzhou was just a charade.

I was touched by this dirty thing.

She also felt disgusted.

"Zhizhi, don't lie to me."

Xie Lanyuan's lips pressed against her brows and eyes, each word like a seal imprinted on her heart, "Otherwise, I don't mind using other means to make you obey."

However, it has only been less than two days.

Yan Xuxu saw several different faces of Xie Lanyuan.

He was cold-blooded and ruthless.

He was treacherous and cunning.

He showed off his chest muscles in a photo, pretending to be a cute puppy.

But no matter which Jie Lanyuan it is, they are all deadly dangers.

She didn't want to mess with any of them.

Xie Lanyuan released her with satisfaction.

I straightened my clothes and stood up.

She resumed her aloof and dignified demeanor.

Before he left, Yan Xuxu reminded him, "Shen Mingzhou has become suspicious and will definitely take action. Be careful when you leave later."

After saying that, Yan Xuxu didn't give him another glance and rushed upstairs, her clothes disheveled.

A short while later, the sound of a door opening and closing came from downstairs.

Yan Xuxu went to the balcony and looked down, clearly seeing a figure nimbly scaling the wall and leaving.

She was so angry she laughed.

It seems that the ice cream will be placed in that spot from now on.

Even if they don't bite off a piece of Xie Lanyuan's flesh.

It also allows you to be on guard against anyone breaking in at any time.

Yan Xuxu had to go out again later to make sure Jie Lanyuan had really left before turning back to change her clothes.

The clothes he was wearing were in terrible condition.

I can't wear it anymore.

The marks on his body hadn't faded yet, and with Xie Lanyuan biting and nibbling, his entire neck was covered in dense marks.

The small scarf couldn't cover it up at all.

Yan Xuxu rummaged through the closet and found a turtleneck sweater to put on, then casually threw the tattered outfit into the trash can.

After that, she ordered a C-grade combination lock online.

The installer contacted her and said he could come and install it right away.

Yan Xuxu went downstairs to wait.

But downstairs, the air was thick with Xie Lanyuan's presence.

Especially that sofa.

As soon as she sat down, all she could think about was how he had seduced her and pinned her down to kiss her.

The more I think about it, the more confused I get.

My body is getting hotter and hotter.

Unable to bear it any longer, she got up and opened all the windows in the living room to let in some fresh air.

Soon after, the master arrived, and the nagging atmosphere had almost completely dissipated.

After the installer finished, Yan Xuxu asked, "How secure is this lock?"

The master smiled and assured, "An ordinary person absolutely cannot solve this, unless the other party is a top expert."

Yan Xuxu was finally relieved.

After seeing her master off, she contacted Zhou Li'an to meet him.

He then closed the windows, grabbed his bag, and left the villa.

As soon as she stepped out the door, she noticed two bodyguards standing outside.

It seems that Shen Mingzhou has become suspicious.

They sent people to monitor her so quickly.

"Madam, Mr. Shen sent us to protect you," the bodyguard said respectfully.

Yan Xuxu initially wanted them to leave, but then considered that with bodyguards present, Xie Lanyuan might not dare to barge in again.

Let's keep them here for a few days.

We'll find a reasonable excuse to let them leave later.

……

Yan Xuxu arrived at the agreed-upon coffee shop, where Zhou Li'an was already there.

"Senior, over here."

Zhou Li'an stood up, smiling and waving at her.

Yan Xuxu walked over and sat down opposite him.

Zhou Li'an handed her the plain water he had asked the waiter to prepare in advance, along with a menu, and asked politely, "What would you like to drink, senior?"

Plain water is fine.

She smiled slightly, her gaze lingering on Zhou Li'an for a long time.

Zhou Li'an's ears turned red after a while, and he asked nervously, "Is there something on my face?"

Yan Xuxu gave an awkward laugh and looked away, getting straight to the point: "If I'm not mistaken, you're the young master of the Zhou Group, right?"

Zhou Li'an was stunned.

Yan Xuxu continued, "Was it you who caused the Ming'an Group's application to be rejected?"

"Senior, I..."

Zhou Li'an was anxious to explain.

Yan Xuxu smiled again, "Don't be nervous. I invited you here today not to settle any scores."

Now, Zhou Li'an could only admit, "Senior was right, I am indeed a member of the Zhou family."

My older brother didn't agree to me working at Ming'an Group in the first place.

It was only after he pleaded and begged that his older brother finally gave in.

To protect his identity, his elder brother ordered his information to be blocked.

Unexpectedly, Yan Xuxu actually found out.

Why do this?

The Zhou Group is second only to the Xie Group.

There's no need to take Ming'an Group seriously.

Moreover, Zhou Li'an had previously stated that he came to Ming'an Group for the sake of his beloved.

Commercial competition can be completely eliminated.

But if it weren't for business rivalries, why would the Zhou family get involved in this matter?

Zhou Li'an frankly stated, "Ming'an Group bribed the auditors and sued Hexing. If they succeed, Hexing will be ruined."

A look of shock flashed across Yan Xuxu's eyes.

So, he did it to help He Xing?

She took a sip of water and looked at him with interest. "You know He Xing?"

"Don't laugh at me, senior, but I really admire He Xing's talent and have been studying his research."

When Zhou Li'an spoke of He Xing's name, his eyes lit up.

That's idol worship.

Yan Xuxu was quite surprised.

Little did I know that everything Zhou Li'an did was because of her.

She probed, "He Xing left for five years and only recently returned. What if she really did plagiarize?"

Zhou Li'an stated firmly, "I don't believe Hexing would plagiarize."

"She was a state security officer, so her departure must have been for research purposes. Perhaps this new technology is the culmination of her five years of hard work."

Yan Xuxu suddenly realized a problem.

She has always misunderstood Zhou Li'an.

The person he was talking about.

Actually, it was her.

The person he liked was also her.

It was only because he was close to Su Wanqing that she misunderstood him as Su Wanqing's man.

Upon learning the truth by surprise, Yan Xuxu's feelings were somewhat complicated. "If He Xing knew about this, he would definitely be very grateful to you."

Zhou Li'an chuckled, "I just didn't want my idol to be tarnished. It was a small thing I did, nothing to brag about."

Yan Xuxu saw starlight in his eyes.

Amidst the starlight, there was a small cluster of flames.

It was filled with intense love for her.

She knew she couldn't stay any longer.

"Thank you for being honest with me. I will keep this a secret for you."

After saying that, she picked up her bag, stood up, and smiled, "I have some things to take care of here, so I'll be going now. Let's get together again sometime."

Zhou Li'an wanted to persuade him to stay.

Yan Xuxu walked very fast, not giving him a chance to speak at all.

Outside the coffee shop, a black Rolls-Royce was parked next to the green belt.

With the car window slightly ajar, the man in the back seat could see everything that was happening inside.

Mu Nan said, "This is the young master of the Zhou family. He currently works in the R&D department of Ming'an Group. He secretly interfered in the rejection of Shen Mingzhou's application this time."

"Furthermore, the information shows that he, Miss Yan, and Su Wanqing are all schoolmates. He has secretly liked Miss Yan since college."

"The reason I came to work at Ming'an Group is because of Miss Yan."

Jie Lanyuan leaned back in his chair, rubbing the jade thumb ring on his hand.

My mind was filled with the image of Gang Yanxu and Zhou Li'an chatting and laughing.

It seems they spend a lot of time together at the company.

She often smiled at him.

His eyes were dark as he slowly rolled up the car window and said in a low voice, "To the Zhou Group."
