Yan Chen smiled but did not comment.

Yu Xi paused for a moment before giggling lightly and shaking her head. "Are you joking with me or are you serious?"

He glanced at her out of the corner of his eyes and replied with a question, "What, you don't believe in yourself?" No confidence? Was this a question of confidence or not? Yu Xi restrained her smile and looked at Yan Chen with a serious expression. "So you're serious."

This sentence was not a question, but a yes sentence. He did not need to answer and knew that she was digesting it. He was not worried that she would not accept it, because they both knew that she had no choice.

After a short period of silence, Yu Xi let out a light moan to break the subtle atmosphere within the sealed space. The air around her seemed to tremble uneasily, "Ah, I don't have confidence? Or do you have too much faith in me? " She lowered her arm from the window, clasped her hands together, and rubbed her fingers together.

Yan Chen did not answer her, nor did she really want an answer. She just had too many questions, but did not know what to ask or where to ask. There was silence on the road after the two of them. In front of them was the famous building, and Yan Su slowly stopped the car.

Yan Chen took his hands off the steering wheel and naturally placed them at his sides. Finally, he turned his head to look at Yu Xi who was still lowering her head. He couldn't see her expression, so he reminded her in a low voice, "We're here."

Yu Xi still did not move. She still had her head lowered, as if she was deep in thought. Her heavy, sword-like eyebrows slightly knitted together, but she didn't speak. She only indifferently looked at Yu Xi. Yu Xi didn't seem to have noticed his gaze. After a moment, she raised her head and spoke softly, "Can you tell me why?"

Yan Chen had guessed that she would ask, but her reaction was not as he had predicted. She was not angry, nor was she crying, much less questioning. She just sat there quietly, not making a ruckus, not feeling sad or happy, and calmly asked him if he could tell her why.

For some reason, the words he was prepared for were suddenly stuck in his throat. He felt a sense of restlessness rising up from the bottom of his heart.

Today, because of this woman, his rare emotions had disturbed him twice in a row. His frown deepened. He no longer looked at her and leaned back in his seat. He closed his eyes and rubbed the center of his brows with a slight headache.

Why? Thinking of the reason he requested Yu Xi to do this, thinking of that man in the famous building, thinking of that scene of two years in the middle of the night that made it difficult for him to sleep again, he calmed down, put down the hand rubbing between his brows, and slowly opened his eyes. His eyes returned to their former profoundness, and they even carried a bone-piercing coldness and slight hostility.

"You don't need to understand why. You just need to do it." His voice was even deeper than usual, even more displeased.

Sensing the cold chill radiating from his body, Yu Xi turned her head to look at him. His ice-cold profile showed his displeasure at the moment, and he exuded a forceful aura that could not be refused.

Yu Xi silently curled the corner of her lips and revealed a self-deprecating smile. She did not expect that Yan Chen would give her an explanation and knew that he would definitely reject it. She only laughed at herself, at her own overestimation.

How could she forget her identity? She was just a mistress who had just climbed into his bed, and her relationship with him was very weak. She was actually nothing more than a pawn.

"I simply can't meet this boss, nor do I know how to attract his attention. Moreover, even if I could come into contact with him, how could he fall in love with a petty and weak woman like me?" Yu Xi pursed her lips and used an indifferent tone to casually throw out the questions one by one.

"If you can't find the boss, you have to think of a way to force him to meet you. You have to find a way to make him notice you. As for how to make him fall in love with you …" Yan Chen placed his hand back on the steering wheel, turned his head and looked at her with a bit of amusement, then slowly opened his mouth, "As for how you're going to do this, it's up to you."

Yu Xi saw that he didn't seem to care in the slightest, opened her mouth a few times, and then slowly closed it again.

Yan Chen raised his eyebrows again and said in a frivolous tone, "Whether he can fall in love with you will depend on your ability. Yu Xi, I've said before that you're a smart woman. You should know what to do."

"Smart?" Yu Xi lightly whispered, as if she was repeatedly chewing on this word. Smart? Should she thank him for his kind gesture? If she was really smart, how could she sit in his car now?

She suddenly laughed in a low voice, her laughter containing a self-deprecating self-mockery. When she heard her words, she slightly frowned. She unbuckled her seatbelt and cast her gaze into Yan Zheke's black, bottomless eyes. Her thin lips slightly curled as she said, "Is there still any possibility for me to reject you?"

After saying that, she opened the door of the car and got off. She gently closed the door, causing the car to shake slightly. Yan Chen watched her straighten her back, walk around the car and walk towards the famous building.

Even when he couldn't see her figure, he still stared in the direction of the entrance to the famous building for a long time, a rare moment of absent-mindedness. After a long while, his expression returned to its previous indifference, he withdrew his gaze, turned the car around, and left.

Entering the famous building, Yu Xi felt that the atmosphere around her was rather delicate. She looked around in confusion, and found that everyone had shifted their gazes away after coming into contact with her gaze, pretending not to see her. Everyone was deliberately keeping a distance from her, as if avoiding some ferocious beast.

Yu Xi slightly frowned, then she remembered that the incident with Li De last night had probably already spread through the famous building. Good news never went out, bad news spread like a thousand miles, and now, no matter how people talked about her behind their backs, she didn't care about other people's thoughts, and she didn't have the American time to care about those unrelated people's words.

Seeing that she had gone upstairs, the group of people gathered together again and started whispering to each other. "Well, I heard her friend beat up Boss Li yesterday."

"That's right, she was so brazen the moment she arrived, and now her friends even dare to casually make a move. It's only been a short period of time, and she's already so arrogant!"

"Say, didn't she go into the police station yesterday? I heard that Director Li specially found someone to treat her. How did she come out of the police station? Why did she come again as if nothing happened?"

He looked at the bright red fingernails on his hand, and said in a frivolous and mocking tone, "Tsk, why would I do that? I'm sure that I'm begging her to protect me. If I had to say, is she really that pretentious and noble? Just look at her appearance just now, tsk tsk."
