Huo Lin suddenly turned her head to look at Xiao Yu. "What are you going to announce?"

At this moment, Huo Lin had a bad premonition in her heart. She felt that Xiao Yu's announcement at a banquet like this definitely wasn't a good thing.

"I intend to set up the second headquarters of the Xiao Group in Italy." Xiao Yu replied in a low voice.

"Headquarters?" Xiao Zhenwei stared at him in surprise and asked, "Why would there be a second headquarters? What about this one in the city? "

Xiao Yu didn't even bother to look at Xiao Zhenwei, let alone reply him. He continued, "Also, I plan to stay in Italy for the long term."

When he said this, everyone present was stunned.

"Little Yu, this …" Huo Lin was about to say something when Old Master Xiao slammed his bowl on the ground. This loud sound caused many people to look over, and the two children by Du Yu's side were so frightened that their heads shrank back.

"What do you mean?" Veins popped up on Old Master Xiao's forehead as he spoke with an expression that seemed to be suppressing his anger, "You said that you want to stay in Italy?"

"Yes sir!" Xiao Yu's expression didn't change as he indifferently replied.

"You actually dare to say that." Old Master Xiao couldn't suppress his anger any longer. He picked up the wine cup in front of him and threw it towards Xiao Yu.

Xiao Yu, on the other hand, didn't even try to dodge. He could only watch helplessly as the wine cup fell onto his body.

This time, the Old Master Xiao was undoubtedly using his full strength. His attack was aimed directly at Xiao Yu's head. Perhaps because he was too old and was trembling with anger, the wine cup that he had thrown out only hit Xiao Yu's chest. Instantly, Xiao Yu's white shirt was covered with red wine as it dripped down.

The cup shattered with a crisp sound, and the surrounding people fell silent.

Although this did not make the Old Master Xiao satisfied, this action shocked everyone present. The Old Master Xiao was truly angry this time.

He had always doted on Xiao Yu. Even though he had always taken action, he had always been lenient towards his. With such a ferocious strength, he didn't hesitate at all. It seemed like he was truly angry.

If it had been anyone else, this Old Master Xiao wouldn't have been so furious. It was precisely because it was Xiao Yu that Old Master Xiao had placed so much importance on Chen Chong Yuan and Huo Lin.

Not only the Xiao family, but even Ye Yanxi was shocked.

Xiao Yu's announcement had caught her off guard. Normally, Xiao Yu and she would have to face off against each other. He had never heard of him planning to stay in Italy and establish a second headquarters.

Did he mean to say that he would not return to Italy for long periods of time? Then between them... Does it also mean we have reached the end?

Thinking of this, Ye Yanxi's mood became a bit low. She lowered her head, and her fingernails dug into her palms. Her heart began to ache.

These past few days, she had thought that her relationship with him had already been a part of her relationship, but it turned out that she was just overthinking things. Perhaps it was because of Xiao Yu's promise and confession, causing her to forget that they were originally people from two different worlds. Xiao Yu was going to stay with her forever, or even … Will marry her

After all, Xiao Yu had also mentioned marriage. Even though she didn't admit it, he was still very happy in his heart.

And now …

She had never wanted to reveal their relationship to the outside world, so she was right. Xiao Yu never thought about being with her. This way, when they separated in the future, they wouldn't need to go through so much trouble.

This was also the escape path that she had thought of long ago. On the day they were really going to separate, no one would know about their relationship, lest they cause unnecessary trouble, which was very straightforward.

While he mocked himself in his heart, he felt even more disappointed and his heart felt like it was being pierced by needles.

It seemed that Xiao Yu had said that he planned to stay in Italy as a permanent residence. Could it be that he was already planning to break up with her?

She should wake up and just treat it as a dream. Xiao Yu was the unreachable CEO, and she was just an ordinary girl. A girl who matched up with Xiao Yu should be like a golden girl.

No matter what, they had been together for so long, they would still have feelings for each other. How could they not feel sad after separating?

If she broke up, she didn't know how to get used to life without Xiao Yu.

Would they really have to get together and leave? This was what she had told Xiao Yu when they had just been together. When it was time to leave, she really shouldn't pester him too much. If she left him, she would continue living her life.

No one can live without him.

But once she thought of leaving Xiao Yu, Ye Yan Xi couldn't help but suffocate.

It was as if his heart had been emptied and filled with wind. He could not feel his heart beating, only endless pain, like it was being torn apart.

The crowd looked at Xiao Yu in silence, only to hear his continue to speak word by word. "I've already decided to go to Italy. I won't change my mind."

The Xiao family's old patriarch was slightly unsteady. She was supported by the people beside him to sit on a chair. Her chest was also heaving and her emotions stirred up.

Chen Yuanyuan was secretly happy in her heart. As long as Xiao Yu left, it was none of her business. Wouldn't it be much easier if she wanted to do something?

Although he was secretly happy in his heart, he still pretended to be angry as he scolded Xiao Yu, "Little Yu, your grandfather's health has always been poor. You also know that, but can't you just let him take it a bit?" "Don't be angry with him anymore."

Huo Lin also reprimanded him, "Little Yu, don't talk about your grandfather anymore. You're leaving S City for Italy with just a single word. Have you ever thought about me? What do you want me to do, just leave like that? "

"Mom, you don't seem to need me that much."

Huo Lin angrily stood up and raised her hand to slap Xiao Yu. However, she hesitated for a moment before lowering her hand. After all, she was her own son, and her heart still ached for him.

"No matter what you say, I won't agree to this." Huo Lin said in an irresistible tone after she sat down.

"This matter is already being prepared. I am in charge of the company now. Mom, it's useless if you don't agree."

"You were born in October." Huo Lin slammed the table in anger. "Your father and I, we will just let it go. You are unfilial."

The Xiao family's old patriarch was patting her chest as she panted, saying in a sorrowful tone, "Truly unfilial grandson, unfilial …"

The surroundings had already turned into a mess. No one was in the mood to eat.

As if she felt that it wasn't enough, Xiao Yu added, "Also, Mom doesn't need to worry about getting me a blind date anymore. I didn't plan to get married in the country."

This meant that he didn't intend to find a wife in the country at all.

These words unquestionably made Ye Yan's heart sink into the abyss.

His hands subconsciously clenched and loosened as the pain in his heart slowly spread.

Everything was just her imagination. She wasn't Xiao Yu's ideal partner at all.

Since he had already said so, she shouldn't have indiscriminately gone up to him.

After leaving the Xiao family, it was better for her to say goodbye to him. Just treat it as her remaining last shred of dignity.

She didn't want Xiao Yu to take the initiative to break up with her. She had always relied on him. If she knew that they were going to break up, then she wouldn't be able to retain even the slightest bit of her pride.

She had always felt that her fate with Xiao Yu was decided 16 years ago, but now, she was laughing at herself and thinking that this was just a fairy tale.

After thinking it through, the sadness on Ye Yanxi's face vanished.

She, Ye Yanxi, had always been a proud and confident person. It was just a breakup, she didn't need to have tears in her eyes. If she was too weak, she would only make herself look down upon.

Perhaps it was because she had noticed Ye Yan Xi's change in mood, but under the table, Xiao Yu suddenly reached out his hand, wanting to grab hold of Ye Yan Xi's hand. The moment their skin touched, Ye Yan Xi felt a strange heat from his fingertips.

Once, she liked to be tightly wrapped around by Xiao Yu's hands. That sort of steadfast feeling of being loved. It was as if even if they were lost in a world of ice and snow, the temperature of each other's hands would make them persevere.

But now, she felt that the temperature of his palm was too hot, it made her feel as if her entire body was burning.

This kind of temperature wasn't what she wanted, and even she couldn't withstand it.

Thus, when Xiao Yu's hand touched her, she reflexively dodged it.

Xiao Yu thought that Ye Yan was afraid that someone would see through her, so she intentionally avoided his hand. After muttering to himself for a moment, he continued to search under the table for Ye Yan Xi's hand.

At this moment, everyone was against him. They didn't understand him, but he would never back down. As long as Ye Yanxi supported him, that was enough. At least he wasn't alone.

However, when Xiao Yu's hand came in contact with Ye Yan Xi's fingertip, Ye Yan Xi quickly retreated backwards, not giving Xiao Yu the slightest chance to retaliate.

Xiao Yu's brow creased. He rudely grabbed Ye Yan Xi's wrist, causing the scalding heat to slowly spread from her wrist to her palm.

As his fingertips scalded over Ye Yanxi's delicate skin, that familiar intimacy from his memories brought a numbing feeling to her, causing her to shake.

The instant Xiao Yu indisputably grabbed her hand, Ye Yan Xi seemed to have been struck by lightning and quickly bounced up. He looked a bit embarrassed as he nodded to the crowd, "I still have work to do, so I'll go upstairs first."

After saying that, he fled in panic.
