Chen Ze looked at Wen Xi’s eyes, which had become dark and unclear, as if a storm that was enough to destroy everything was brewing. He opened his mouth slightly and said in a cold tone, “Who told you this?”

After asking this question, Chen Ze suddenly remembered that Si Xing had called Wen Xi to his office yesterday. The corner of his tightly pursed lips twitched unnoticeably, and his eyes turned from dark to cold. He continued to speak, though he was not talking to Wen Xi, but to Ding Min who was standing in front of his desk. “Get out of here right now. Today’s matter is not over yet. I’ll settle the score with you later!”

The atmosphere in his office had changed ever since Wen Xi opened her mouth. If Ding Min was being suppressed by Chen Ze a few minutes ago, then after Wen Xi began talking, it had switched to a confrontation between Wen Xi and Chen Ze.

The silent atmosphere between them was very cold and scary.

Ding Min was a block of wood this time, frozen to death. Of course, she heard Chen Ze’s voice, but she still stood there in a daze.

Her not-so-smart brain slowly came to life at this time. She knew that Wen Xi was not a person who would say useless nonsense for no reason, so there must be something else that she did not know about.

Since it was related to Chen Ze, she naturally would not let it go so easily. She looked into Wen Xi’s eyes and did not move for a long time, as if she wanted to get some more information from her.

And what could clearly prove her conjecture was that after Chen Ze heard Wen Xi’s words just now, the aura around him became sharp and cold. It was fairly obvious she was talking about something ‘juicy’, and Chen Ze was trying to keep it behind closed doors, seeing how he had told Ding Min to leave in a slightly agitated and angry manner.

Although Ding Min did not dare to disobey his orders, she was really curious about who this so-called Bai Lin was. When Chen Ze heard this name, the expression on his entire face had changed.

Also, what did Wen Xi mean when she said that she was planning to help him? What did she mean by saying that she wanted to give up her seat to someone else earlier so that they wouldn’t be neglected? She couldn’t have gone crazy enough to say something that could lead to a misunderstanding, right?

In comparison, the latter possibility was too low.

Then it couldn’t really be as she thought. So what was it? Was Wen Xi going to break up with Chen Ze? Or was she trying to take revenge on him? Or perhaps, she was planning to do something else?

A lot of doubts and curiosity flashed in Ding Min’s mind. She looked at Wen Xi’s beautiful side profile and forced herself to face Chen Ze’s cold eyes. After swallowing in nervousness, she said a little nervously, “Wen Xi, what did you mean by those words just now? Who is this Bai Lin? Why haven’t I heard Brother Chen Ze mention her before?”

When Chen Ze saw that Ding Min did not listen to his orders, he stood up angrily. He was about to ask her to get out, but Wen Xi did not give him the chance to save his face!

Wen Xi turned her head to look at Ding Min. She saw that the tears on her face had not completely dried up, but her mouth was starting to call Chen Ze ‘Brother’ in a sticky manner. The corners of her mouth immediately raised into a very sarcastic smile.

Before Chen Ze could open his mouth to chase Ding Min out, Wen Xi sneered, “If you really want to know who this Bai Lin is, why don’t you ask your ‘Brother’ Chen Ze? This woman is the person who has always been at the top of his heart! Do you know why he has always been so unapproachable and pure-hearted?”

“That’s because there’s a ray of white moonlight hidden in his heart he’s been yearning for half his life, yet he could never get it!”

Wen Xi calmly ignored the warning in his eyes. She sneered and turned her face back, directly meeting his eyes.

In her clear eyes, there was a hidden sarcasm and coldness at this moment. He was shocked when he saw this, realizing that he really couldn’t understand her at this moment. The depths of this woman’s eyes were filled with disappointment and determination!

“He is a selfish and heartless scum who is nothing! Do you really think he’s that great? All of his patience and gentleness will only be left for that woman. It’s impossible for anyone else to get even the slightest bit of basic care from him!”
