Hunt her

Xu Jing felt as if he had been slapped in the air; it didn't hurt, but it damaged his self-esteem.

Unable to argue with Yan Xu, he chose to leave: "See you next time, Yan Xu. You'll understand how I feel about you."

Men seem to always be selectively deaf, never understanding others' rejections, always immersed in their own world, and disgustingly imposing their own ideas on the other person.

Shameless and thick-skinned is probably the best way to describe a man like Xu Jing.

After Xu Jing left, Yan Xu's view was finally clear.

Sitting in her office chair with her eyes closed to rest, the image of Shen Yi holding her last night kept replaying in her mind.

...So annoying!

When will I be able to forget it?

After leaving Youyu Technology, Xu Jing went upstairs to find Xiao Jingxing.

Seeing his disheveled appearance, Xiao Jingxing guessed that Yan Xu was not going to give him a good time.

He advised, "Xiao Xu isn't the type to be easily manipulated. Unless she's willing herself, no matter how much you do, it won't make a difference."

Her stubbornness was inherited from Yu Zheng's emotional fastidiousness, as well as from her father Yan Shan's stubbornness.

In her, you can see the softest side of humanity, as well as its strongest side.

In short, Yan Xu is not someone Xu Jing can easily pursue.

Xu Jing didn't want the word "loser" to appear in his life: "Since I was able to win her over in two years before, I can still spend two years to bring her back to my side now."

Xu Jing himself couldn't tell whether this affection stemmed from his love for Yan Xu himself, or simply from a possessive desire that had been taken from him.

"You want Yan Xu's chip, and I want Yan Xu," Xu Jing said slowly. "Let's cooperate and achieve a win-win situation."

Xiao Jingxing sneered: "Xiao Xu and I have already cooperated. What's this talk of a win-win cooperation with you?"

I'm afraid he's the only one who can win.

Xu Jing: "I meant that Yan Xu's chip is for you, not that she is cooperating with you."

Xiao Jingxing understood what he meant this time.

Xu Jing wanted to directly transfer Yan Xu's chip patent to him.

The temptation is too great, but the risk is also very high.

Xiao Jingxing: "How can you guarantee you can do it? Why should I believe you?"

Xu Jing said confidently, "I can win over Yan Xu just by being persistent, even though she is already married."

Xiao Jingxing hesitated. Faced with enormous profits, his ambition would grow wildly.

Xiao Jingxing was willing to take the gamble: "Okay, I agree."

......

The Shen Residence.

After leaving Yan Xu's home, Shen Yi returned to the Shen residence.

Shen's father sat in the living room and saw Shen Yi walk into the door looking dejected, clearly having suffered a setback in his relationship.

You're such a grown-up, and you still can't choose the right person.

Mr. Shen: "You broke up? Do you want me to introduce you to a few blind dates?"

Shen Yi slumped on the sofa, not wanting to pay attention to him: "At your age, you're just trying to kill me by hurting my feelings. Don't disturb my sleep."

"..." Shen's father slapped Shen Yi's leg. "You brat, what's going on with your relationship with Su Xiao?"

Shen Yi didn't want to hear this person's name; she had made Yan Xu unhappy.

"There's no future for it, and there won't be." Shen Yi got up from the sofa and went upstairs. "By the way, I'm currently..."

Married.

He dared not speak out, fearing that his parents would not accept Yan Xu and would do something they shouldn't to her.

He left the audience in suspense halfway through his story, then asked, "What's wrong with you now?"

Shen Yi continued upstairs: "It's nothing, just kidding."

The bedroom is a small suite, more than twice the size of the previous rental apartment.

Shen Yi walked to the bedside, opened the bedside table, and found a drawer full of pear-scented incense.

Before going to Yunzhao County, Shen Yi learned that Yan Xu liked this fragrance, so he would buy it every few days, waiting for the day he could personally deliver it to her.

Later, when they got married in a whirlwind romance, he did indeed give it to her.

But it seems that's all there is to it.

Everything returned to square one, and he and Yan Xu seemed to have become strangers who could not get close to each other again.

"Thump! Thump!"

"Come in!"

The nanny came in with his phone; "The old man asked me to give you his phone, saying that men shouldn't always think about romance, doing well in their careers is more important than anything else."

It's as if I said nothing.

He has achieved a level in his career that many people dare not even dream of; now all that's left is to settle down in his personal life.

Shen Yi, holding his phone, said, "Thank you for your help. Please close the door behind you when you leave."

After the nanny left the room, Shen Yi lay on the sofa in the bedroom and turned on his phone.

There were several unread messages from Yan Xu, asking how his mother was doing and how he was doing.

She clearly cares about him, yet she keeps pushing him away.

Yan Xu, when will you be able to face your own heart?

Shen Yi opened the text message again. There was a multimedia message with only a few pictures.

The pictures show Yan Xu and Xu Jing in physical contact, one of which appeared in entertainment news.

What does sending this to him mean? Is it a provocation?

Shen Yi long-pressed the picture, intending to delete it, but then thought about how his relationship with Yan Xu had been strained these past two days.

On a sudden impulse, he took a screenshot and sent it to Yan Xu: "Someone's using you to provoke me."

As soon as the message was sent, he sat up straight, anxiously waiting for her reply.

Time ticked by, three seconds passed, ten seconds passed, and a minute passed.

Shen Yi watched helplessly as ten minutes passed.

Finally, there was movement at the top of the screen; it was displaying "The other party is typing..."

Shen Yi bit her fingers, her legs trembling with nervousness.

He knew Yan Xu wouldn't have any ambiguous relationships with other men, but he wanted her to protect his feelings.

Only in this way could Shen Yi feel that he was loved by her.

Yan Xu replied: "Yes, it's good that you don't care about me."

"......" Is this what he wants to hear?

Shen Yi was furious and immediately made the call: "Sorry, the number you dialed is currently busy..."

"Well done, Yan Xu." Shen Yi gritted his teeth. "You did this on purpose, didn't you? You said whatever made me angry."

Yan Xu did indeed do just that.

She stared at her phone screen; no more messages came from the other party, and she breathed a sigh of relief.

This time, he pushed himself a little further away again.

Yan Xu put down her phone and started working.

Shen Yi didn't sit idle either; he drove straight to Shenyi Company.

Shen Yi usually doesn't come to the company for non-important meetings and works remotely.

The boss suddenly came to work at the company, and the employees were still a little unaccustomed to it.

Everyone greeted him warmly, saying, "Hello, Mr. Shen."

Shen Yi nodded: "Mm."

Entering his office, he instructed his assistant: "Invite the boss of Yuyu Technology to the company for a meeting. Tell him there are some details about the project that need to be changed."

The assistant asked, "Should we arrange for someone to pick us up?"

Shen Yi answered without hesitation: "Yes."

If you leave her standing by the roadside trying to hail a taxi, she'll catch a cold from the wind.

In the end, he'll be the one who feels sorry for her.

When Yan Xu answered the phone, he was indeed thinking about quickly calling a ride-hailing service, because he couldn't be negligent when the client called for a meeting.

But I didn't expect them to be so considerate, even arranging for someone to pick me up and drop me off.

Yan Xu respectfully obeyed.

Standing downstairs at Shenyi Technology Building, she felt dazed.

This was her second time here. She had always wanted to meet the owner, but he was too mysterious and she had never been able to. This time, she was finally able to meet him.

Yan Xu straightened his clothes and, led by the receptionist, took the elevator, which stopped at the top floor.

The entire top floor is the boss's office; it's very bright and well-lit.

However, Yan Xu did not expect that when she stepped out of the elevator, in addition to seeing the scenery outside the floor-to-ceiling windows, she would also see a familiar person.

"Shen Yi..." She was very curious about how he ended up here. "Are you Shenyi—"

"It's my friend's company," he interrupted her. "Would you have been willing to come see me if I hadn't done this?"

Obviously not...

He dared not admit that he was the boss of Shenyi Company, fearing that at this critical juncture, Yan Xu would discover that he had lied to him and would be even less willing to stay with him.

Yan Xu trusted him completely, so he didn't doubt what he said.

Yan Xu walked over and sat down, his expression calm: "What do you want?"

Shen Yi: "Don't get too close to Xu Jing, and don't cooperate with him, including Xiao Jingxing."

He's a man, and a man's judgment of another man is never wrong.

It's understandable that he's keeping his distance from Xu Jing, so why is he still bothered by Jingxing?

Yan Xu: "I have a business relationship with Brother Jingxing, so I can't agree to that."

"..." Shen Yi said patiently, "Then after this collaboration, don't have any more work-related dealings with him. At most, catch up in private."

For some reason, Shen Yi had a hunch that both of these men would become stumbling blocks for Yan Xu.

Yan Xu lowered his eyes, absentmindedly replying, "Oh."

Neither agreeing nor refusing, just a simple "oh".

Shen Yi is so worried about her; when will she finally understand his feelings?

Yan Xu looked up: "Is there anything else? If not, I'll be going now."

Shen Yi sat down beside her and hugged her tightly: "I missed you so much, baby. I missed you while eating, while sleeping, while walking. I feel like I'm going crazy."

"So please don't leave me, okay?"

His tone was gentle and pleading.
