chance to return on the seventh day!""Tsk tsk... So this Si Tu Lin is incredibly cunning, he managed to keep us all spinning around in circles"I listened to their words, and the gloom in my heart gre...Do you believe it or not Does it really make a difference if you believe it or not In the end, the results are the same anyway, right

Jiang Qiyun clutched my shoulders, his voice low and serious: "If you trust me, stop crying over this. Just wait patiently for that day, I'll give you an answer."

What answer, good or bad

"... I can't say more." He shook his head, gesturing to my chest. "Don't forget, I left a blood oath here for you. Later... you'll know."

"Okay," I nodded, choosing to believe even though my heart was racing with anxiety.

I've been to Lin Yanhuan's office building once before. Last time, I was taken up in a private elevator by a few men in black suits. This time, I'm alone and can only honestly come to the front desk.

Two pretty receptionists smiled and asked, "Hello, who are you looking for Do you have an appointment"

"I'm looking for Lin Yanhuan, I didn't make an appointment."

"Mr.... Mr. Lin" The front desk lady's smile froze for a moment, "I'm sorry, Mr. Lin doesn't accept appointments without prior arrangements. Perhaps I can connect you with the CEO's secretary's office to inquire"

What a bother I guess coming here rashly was a bad idea.

"No need, could you lend me your charger" I took out the special phone Lin Yanhuan had given me. It hadn't been turned on for too long, and it automatically shut down just ten seconds after I turned it on.

The front desk girl looked a bit embarrassed, as if she thought I was here to mooch off the Wi-Fi and power.

"My phone's out of battery, could I borrow your charger I need to call Lin Yanhuan directly." I explained to the two of them.

Another front desk girl whispered: Just lend it to her, General Lin's phone isn't something you can get through easily. If you can't get through, just let her go.

I rolled my eyes and dialed Lin Yanhui's number.

"Hello"

"It was me—"

"Oh, Miss Mu. Hello." His tone was still as serious and stiff as ever.

"...Excuse me for interrupting, do you have a moment I'd like to talk to you about something."

Lin Yanhuan's voice paused for a moment: "Okay, anytime I'm free, where are you"

"...at the front desk of your company."

He chuckled softly and said, "What a coincidence... wait for me."

Well, what a coincidence

The thought of explaining the whole situation to him made my scalp tingle, but I felt guilty if I didn't make things clear—he ended up taking the blame for helping me get checked out, which was completely unfair.

A private elevator dinged, and the two receptionists immediately stared at the elevator door with wide eyes. Lin Yanhuan walked out, and they sweetly greeted him, "Good morning, Mr. Lin."

Lin Yanhuan nodded at them with a stern face. I was holding my phone, chatting with my brother, and froze when I saw him walking toward me.

"What are you daydreaming about" he frowned, "Come on, go up and talk."

"Huh Oh…" I wasn't expecting him to come down and get me himself, so I quickly unplugged the wire and thanked the front desk clerk.

Just two steps after following him, I heard the whispers from behind.

"Wow! General Lin came down to pick her up himself! Could the rumors be true! She must be the one——"

"Shhh!!"

I'm a bit puzzled, what rumors

As I passed by the public elevator, the doors just opened. Lin Yanhuan suddenly reached out and grabbed my wrist. I instinctively tried to shake him off, but he quickly whispered, "Cooperate."

What's this about Could that Xu Qianjin be around here I looked around. Almost everyone who came out of the public elevator was staring at me, including one woman with a sharp expression.

Lin Yanhuan pulled me to the private elevator without looking back. He was very courteous, supporting my back as I got into the elevator.

Not until the elevator doors closed did he quietly explain, "Did you see that woman just now She flew in from the imperial capital and came straight here to force me into marriage."

...

"That... Lin Yanhuan, my acting really sucks. If you need a shield, I suggest you find someone experienced, like my good friend Song Wei. Her acting is over-the-top and dramatic, she'll definitely never give it away."

Lin Yan smiled faintly, and every time his poker face showed a smile, it felt like the melting of snow and ice, the gentle breeze caressing willow trees.

In short, he has an icy face but when he occasionally smiles, it's incredibly stunning.

"Your acting may not be good, but you're just too coincidentally perfect..."

What does that mean

"My personal physician has already been interrogated by my family about the things he checked for you. They've all misunderstood and rumors are flying everywhere. I might as well use this opportunity to decline her request."

My goodness... I couldn't help but rub my temples.

"Lin Yanhuan, how much do you know about my situation I really don't want to offend the rich and beautiful woman around you again. I'm just an ordinary person! I can't afford to mess with you privileged second-generation heirs!"

"Common folk Which commoner could possibly receive the favor of a deity" He chuckled and twisted open his office door, beckoning me inside.

"I don't have the time to sit down and explain things slowly. I chased after him all the way to the main office desk: 'I'm serious, I came here just to explain this to you. Please keep it a secret. I don't want to be treated as an outsider, because ordinary people wouldn't understand this kind of thing.'"

He nodded and said, "Yes, that's exactly what I want to do—keep it a secret for you. That's why I haven't bothered to argue with the outside world's speculation."

This... this actually makes sense.

“Don’t worry, I’ll explain and handle things on my end. No one will disturb you… I also learned a lot from your brother. This isn’t fair to you, but I can only do so much to help. I’ll try my best to make things convenient for you.” He looked serious and spoke with gravity.

When I heard "I can't help," I felt a little awkward, but his expression was so serious that he didn't seem to be joking at all. I couldn't even respond.

Awkwardly, I turned my head to look out the window. The huge floor-to-ceiling window beside him overlooked a bustling cityscape, but all I saw were some discordant things.

Beside it stood a slightly shorter skyscraper, with two square structures on top, which must have been the entrance to the top floor.

"...the little man peeped out."

"What" Lin Yanhuan asked, looking up.

"Didn't you have a master come and take a look at your office" I pointed out the window.

He chuckled softly, got up and walked to my side: "You are the master I trust... Please give me some guidance, Master Mu."

I pointed to the top floor across the way: “That’s called ‘Little Person Peeking,’ a type of Feng Shui hazard. High-rise buildings are prone to this kind of hazard, including those who buy apartments today. Many people like buying high-floor units without paying attention to the surrounding environment and often get affected by these negative energies.”

"Small-headed person That name makes me a little uncomfortable." He frowned.

"Of course, look at that square building on the rooftop over there. It has windows and a door facing you. Doesn't it look like someone is hiding behind it, only showing their eyes to peek at you"

>my side every step of the way, that's the safest." 。Mu Wanchen lightly pecked my lips. 。"It's impossible to be together every step of the way... You have your own things to do, and I have mine. It's...
