Hunt her

All I could think about was getting away from him, that men couldn't be trusted, but in the end I still succumbed to his charms.

After tidying up, Yan Xu put the box back in the drawer and lay back down on the bed.

This time she slept very soundly, falling asleep with Shen Yi's love for her.

In the following days, Shen Yi did not contact her, and she did not contact Shen Yi either.

It seems that the two had never been husband and wife, nor had they ever been to Yunzhao County.

During this period, Yan Xu worked frantically, trying to numb himself with a lot of work.

It proved to be effective.

When a person is extremely tired, they stop thinking about anything.

Yuyu Technology continued to sign contracts and collect deposits, and its production lines were running non-stop.

Yan Xu has gradually made a name for himself in the technology industry.

Some people have even started gossiping about her private life.

At a dinner party.

Yan Xu attended as an invited guest, but she disliked such social occasions, so she hid in the rest area and sat there.

But a hushed murmur drifted from the nearby seating area: "Did you know that all of President Xu Jing's recent investments are in Yan Xu's projects? Someone even interviewed him, asking why he keeps investing in her projects, and guess what he said?"

Intrigued by the woman's words, the other person asked, "What did you say?"

Woman: "He said it was because Yan Xu was a very important person to him."

The other person exclaimed in surprise, "Wow, that's a domineering CEO saying something! They must be in a romantic relationship, or at least have a flirtatious one."

Woman: "Of course, so we should be more polite to Yan Xu in the future. If we make her angry, how will we get investment from Xu Jing?"

Yan Xu found it hilarious to hear this.

She knew Xu Jing all too well what kind of person he was.

He wouldn't casually spend money on an old acquaintance unless the other party could bring him benefits.

Yan Xu's vision and ability are the reasons why he chose to invest.

It wasn't because of Yan Xu, but because of Yan Xu's abilities.

The difference between the two lies in this: one is based on feelings, and the other on interests.

Yan Xu picked up a pastry from the table and started eating it, pretending that he had been listening to other people's gossip.

Until Xu Jing strode over with a champagne glass in hand and sat down next to her right in front of everyone around them.

"..."

It was intentional, probably to annoy her.

Xu Jing raised his champagne glass to Yan Xu: "Have you been working a lot lately? Has something come up? Tell me, maybe I can help you."

Yan Xu: "Didn't you say you'd compensate me for the money I lost selling the shares? Give it to me."

She calmly extended her hand, her emotions composed and unhurried.

This time, Xu Jing couldn't hold back anymore: "Um... I'll give it to you next time."

Based on the number of shares she owned at the time and the current stock price, he would probably have to sell assets to compensate her.

In a way, Xu Jing, like Yan Shan, survived by sucking her blood.

Now that they can't suck it in anymore, they've started sticking to it again.

Yan Xu anticipated that he wouldn't give it: "Mr. Xu, please show sincerity next time you want to chat with me. I'm leaving now, I won't keep you company."

Yan Xu stood up and left amidst the gazes of the many onlookers.

They even saw Yan Xu's impatience and disdain towards Xu Jing.

The relationship between the two doesn't seem as good as it's portrayed online; it's more like enemies meeting, their eyes filled with hostility.

After Yan Xu walked out of the banquet hall, someone stopped her.

"President Yan!" The man jogged up to her. "Wait a minute."

Yan Xu stopped in her tracks and looked him up and down: "Do I know you?"

The man shook his head: "I don't know you, I don't know you. Someone asked me to pass on a message to you: he said he'll come to see you in a few days and that he misses you a lot."

It's Shen Yi.

Her first instinct was Shen Yi.

Yan Xu's heart tightened: "How has he been lately? How about Auntie? Is she feeling better?"

She blurted out three questions in quick succession, then realized she had been overly concerned. She quickly composed herself, her anxious gaze returning to calm: "Never mind what I asked. Tell him to take care of himself."

The man opened and closed his lips several times, but in the end, he chose to remain silent.

I have a feeling that Boss Yan is in a bad mood. Shouldn't she be happy that Brother Long brought her a message? Why does she look so worried?

The man watched Yan Xu's retreating figure, utterly perplexed, as he walked back to the banquet hall.

Yan Xu hailed a taxi by the roadside and sat in the back seat, lost in thought.

I thought that working non-stop would lessen my longing for him, but after hearing news about him just now, I realized how self-deceiving I had been.

Yan Xu dragged her tired body home, took off her high heels, and collapsed onto the sofa.

I was so tired that I fell asleep as soon as I lay down.

She was woken up by the cold as the temperature dropped in the evening, so she went barefoot to the bathroom, took a quick shower, and went back to bed.

This kind of lifestyle that disregards one's health will inevitably lead to viral infections.

The next morning, Yan Xu was woken up by his alarm clock.

But her body felt heavy, and she couldn't muster the strength to get out of bed.

It felt like my whole body was nailed to the ground.

She raised her hand and touched her forehead: "It's so hot."

My throat hurts a lot when I talk.

...I have a fever.

Yan Xu opened her phone and scrolled through her contacts. Seeing Shen Yi pinned to the top, she felt even more depressed.

She exited her contacts and dialed 120 herself.

It's good. Life is back to what it was before I met Shen Yi, and I can do everything on my own.

As for Shen Yi... he should have a sensible partner who won't cause him trouble.

Amidst the curiosity of the entire neighborhood, Yan Xu was lifted into an ambulance.

After examining her, the doctor told her that her condition was not serious and asked if she wanted an IV drip or an injection, saying that an injection would help her recover faster.

Yan Xu wanted to get to work as soon as possible: "Let's get the injection done."

Yan Xu was actually very afraid of pain. She gritted her teeth and closed her eyes to avoid looking at the needle piercing her flesh.

She opened her eyes only after the pain in her arm subsided: "Thank you, doctor."

She walked out of the hospital, pressing a cotton swab against the injection site on her arm.

Looking at the cars coming and going outside, I had no idea where to go.

"Make way! Don't stand in the doorway!" another patient yelled at her.

Yan Xu immediately stepped aside, saying, "I'm sorry."

Yan Xu took a taxi to the company in a low spirits. Because the company's business had increased, it had also recruited more than a dozen employees.

The receptionist saw Yan Xu nod and called out, "Mr. Yan, someone is looking for you in your office."

Yan Xu nodded slightly: "Okay." She walked towards the office.

She doesn't remember having an appointment to meet anyone.

Yan Xu walked into the office with curiosity, and as soon as she opened the door, she saw Shen Yi sitting on the office sofa, drinking tea and playing on his phone.

"You shouldn't be here... Why are you here?" Yan Xu asked in surprise.
