The waves hit the rocks under them. Jin Shaonan’s lips curved into a smile. “then… it’s a deal. You promised me. ”

“I’m not the kind of person who goes back on his word. Of course, I’ll do my best, ” Du Anran said. “Okay, it’s your turn to tell me. Why did you come here alone? ”

“It’s nothing. Isn’t it Saturday? I came out to get some fresh air… ” Jin Shaonan looked straight ahead.

The Sea was vast and endless, and the dark blue sea water was turbulent.

The seagulls circled around and let out cries. In this empty sea area, they were as mournful as a Cuckoo’s cry of blood. Waves crashed down, making earth-shattering sounds. It was especially intimidating against the boundless coastline.

“Get some fresh air? Why did you turn off your cell phone? Is there a need to smoke just to get some fresh air? ” Du Anran didn’t believe it. This was obviously a very low-level lie, and she could see through it immediately.

“Of course I turned off my cell phone because I didn’t want to be disturbed by others. As for smoking, I was just looking for a feeling, ” Jin Shaonan found an excuse.

“Do you think I’m stupid? ” Du Anran said, “you obviously have something on your mind. ”

“My career is smooth sailing, my family is harmonious, and no one owes me money. What’s on your mind? Don’t think too much about it, ” Jin Shaonan said with a smile.

It was clearly a joke, but du Anran could still hear the sadness in his voice. She knew that Jin Shaonan was determined not to say anything. She sat with him.

Both of them were silent, and only the lonely echoes could be heard in the surrounding space.

After a few minutes of silence, Jin Shaonan turned to look at her. “You should go back quickly. It’s too cold here! ”

He couldn’t help but feel sorry for her when he saw that her face was red from the wind.

“How long have you been sitting here? ”

“Don’t worry about me. I’m fine. Go back quickly. Don’t catch a cold! ” Jin Shaonan advised her.

“If you want to go, we can go together. Otherwise, I’ll sit with you, ” Du Anran said stubbornly.

He comforted her when she was in a bad mood, but she didn’t give him any care. He seemed to be so powerful that he didn’t have any worries. In fact, she knew that he felt uncomfortable most of the time.

“You go back first. I’ll leave in a while! ” Jin Shaonan ordered.

“Don’t chase me away. I won’t leave. ” Du Anran was determined to sit with him.

Jin Shaonan had no choice but to take off his coat. “then you can sit with me. ”

He put the coat on her body, but he was only wearing a thin sweater. Of course, Du Anran didn’t accept it. She returned the coat to him. “If you feel that I’m cold, you can go back with me. ”

She was already shivering when the sea breeze blew on her body, but as long as he didn’t leave, she wouldn’t leave either.

“I really can’t do anything to you. ” Jin Shaonan was very helpless.

She knew that he treated her well and didn’t want her to catch a cold. She was the same. She didn’t want to see him like this. She wanted to see a hardworking, ambitious, sunny, and magnanimous Jin Shaonan.

She patted her clothes and stood up. She jumped down from the Rock and reached out her hand again. “Come, COME DOWN! ”

Jin Shaonan smiled and handed her his hand in the end.

After he handed her his hand, she didn’t let go. He had given her warmth, but as long as she could afford it, she could also give it to Jin Shaonan.

It was probably the only love in her life that she could not give.

This was the first time that Du Anran took the initiative to hold Jin Shaonan’s hand, and her cold hand immediately felt warm.

He was her senior, and she was willing to treat him as her own brother.

Xie Chenjin saw them walking towards him from the car. He narrowed his eyes, and there was an indescribable complicated look in his eyes.

After Jin Shaonan saw Xie Chenjin’s car, he let go of Du Anran’s hand and walked towards Xie Chenjin with a smile.

Xie Chenjin opened the car door and signaled for them to stop standing in the cold wind and quickly get in the car. Du Anran was indeed freezing. She didn’t know how Jin Shaonan could sit on the rock for so long.

Du Anran and Jin Shaonan sat in the back seat. Xie Chenjin’s car was very warm, and the light fragrance of lavender was still floating in the air as usual. Du Anran sent a text message to Liu Wanwan to let her rest assured.

“Shaonan, you ran so far alone. If we hadn’t come, would you have walked back? ” Xie Chenjin looked at the desolate place. It would be difficult for him to take a taxi.

“just take it as a walk, ” Jin Shaonan replied.

“You’re in a good mood, but du Anran is dying of anxiety. ” Xie Chenjin glanced at Du Anran.

“I won’t run around again. Don’t worry. ” Jin Shaonan smiled.

“You’re not allowed to turn off your phone. You have to let us contact you 24 hours a day, ” Du Anran added.

“Okay, I’ll listen to you. ”

Du Anran smiled in satisfaction and asked Xie Chenjin to play some light songs.

However, Du Anran received a call from Xin Zimo just as she was feeling happy. It was already noon, and the sun shone on the ground, giving off a dazzling light.

“where are you? ” Xin Zimo asked casually.

In order not to cause unnecessary trouble, Du Anran lied, “I’m at home. ”

“where’s The music? ” Xin Zimo’s ears were sharp, and he heard the sound of music on the phone besides her voice.

“I play music at home. ” Du Anran stuck out her tongue, he could hear it too.

“Oh. ” He did not ask further.

“You’re in s city? ” Du Anran did not think it would be that fast. Although s city and a city were not far, it would still take at least three to four hours by car.

“I’m almost there. ” Xin zimo leaned against the back of the car and closed his eyes slightly.

“when… are you coming back? ” Du Anran asked …

“I should be able to go back tomorrow, ” Xin Zimo said plainly.

“I’ll wait for you. ”

After du Anran said these three words, Xin Zimo hung up the phone. Du Anran was a little angry because she had not finished speaking.

However, after she put down the phone, Xie Chenjin looked at her from the mirror. “Xin Zimo’s phone number? ”

Du Anran did not speak, neither did she deny nor confirm.

Xie Chenjin saw her expression and smiled without asking further. The car drove to the DU residence first. Jin Shaonan did not know that Du Anran had already moved back. He looked at the half-closed door and frowned without saying a word.

After the car parked, Du Anran said to them, “you haven’t had lunch yet, right? Do you want to come in and eat together? My mother’s dishes are very delicious. ”

“Sure! ” Xie Chenjin was not modest at all. He immediately replied.

He had not been to the DU residence. When he met Du Anran, the Du residence had already belonged to Xin Zimo, let alone try her mother’s dishes. She was already lucky that she did not chase him away.

Now that he had such a good opportunity, Xie Chenjin naturally would not let it go.

However, Jin Shaonan did not have the desire to get out of the car. He smiled at Du Anran and said, “another day! ”

Du Anran looked at the two of them. She did not know if they were going to get out or continue walking.

Xie Chenjin saw that Jin Shaonan had no intention of staying, so he lowered his head and said, “then we’ll do it another day. But you have to remember that you owe me a meal. ”

“Alright, I’ll remember. ” Du Anran waved her hand.

After Xie Chenjin restarted his car, Du Anran watched them leave before she entered the house.

The car drove to Xie Chenjin’s apartment. As he drove, he spoke to Jin Shaonan, who was behind him, “since you’re in a bad mood, why don’t you come over to my place for a few drinks? I’ll make you a few drinks to relieve your stress. ”

Jin Shaonan knew that Xie Chenjin was good at making drinks, so he couldn’t help but nod. “It’s my fortune to be able to taste the drinks that you personally made. ”

Xie Chenjin smiled. “Are you still thinking about those things? ”

Jin Shaonan didn’t speak. The relaxed look he put on when he was with Du Anran earlier had disappeared, replaced by a gloomy and deep expression.

“Are you going to keep it from her? ” Xie Chenjin asked again.

“Yes. ” Jin Shaonan nodded slightly. “Don’t tell her either. ”

“Don’t worry. I won’t tell her anything you don’t want me to. But you’ve done so many things for her, and she doesn’t seem to care. ”

“I only want her to be happy. ”

“She can be happy with Xin Zimo? ” Xie Chenjin sneered.

“No matter what, she only has Xin Zimo in her heart. ”

“that’s hard to say. People Change. ” Xie Chenjin obviously didn’t agree with Jin Shaonan’s words.

“I only want her to be happy, no matter how the process is, ” Jin Shaonan said lightly.

“You are really good to her. ” Xie Chenjin shook his head. He did not know whether he should call Jin Shaonan an idiot.

“I hope that you can be good to her. ”

“I know what to do. ” Xie Chenjin looked at the road ahead. Du Anran’s delicate little face floated in front of his eyes. There was the sadness when she frowned slightly, and the happiness when she laughed.

“I will go to London next week. Help me take care of her. ” Jin Shaonan knew that she probably did not need him to take care of her now. But he hoped that every time she was unhappy, there would be someone to comfort her, even if it was only temporarily.

“Why didn’t you say that to Xin Zimo? Tell him to treat her well! ” Xie Chenjin’s tone was unkind and there was a hint of anger in his eyes.

“What relationship do I have with Xin Zimo? What relationship do I have with you? ” Jin Shaonan was not angry, but his tone was still calm.

“I’ve told you many times that I can take good care of her, but it’s not because of your instructions. ”

“I understand. ” Jin Shaonan nodded. Just because he didn’t speak of many things didn’t mean that he didn’t know about them.

In the past, when he was in the game, he couldn’t see things clearly. But now that he was out of the game, he suddenly understood many things.

Even if Xie Chenjin was angry, he couldn’t vent it out after seeing Jin Shaonan’s attitude. He sighed and focused on driving.

After arriving at Xie Chenjin’s apartment, Xie Chenjin was too lazy to cook. He called the hotel to send a few dishes over while he took out all kinds of wine and made them cup by cup.

Jin Shaonan looked at Xie Chenjin who was acting like an outsider, but the house was in a mess. He could not help but laugh, “look at the life you’re living. It seems like it’s time to find a mistress to help you clean up. ”

Xie Chenjin said leisurely while making the wine, “it’s better to find a nanny than a woman. ”

“Oh right, you’ve been in city a for so many years. Why haven’t you returned to your hometown? ”

“The family business is here. What’s the point of returning to your hometown? My Dad plans to bring my grandparents over in the second half of the year so that the family can live together. ”

“Your Dad has mobilized all of your grandparents to force you into a marriage. ” Jin Shaonan laughed.

“If he dares to force you into a marriage, I will throw the Xie family back into his hands. When the time comes, I will see if he can make a fool of himself. ” Xie Chenjin glared at Jin Shaonan, even though he knew that Jin Shaonan was telling the truth.

Jin Shaonan laughed out loud when he heard this. “If you dare to throw the Xie family back to him, you wouldn’t have come back in the first place. ”

“But… it’s not a loss for me to come back. ” Xie Chenjin’s lips curled into a smile …

Jin Shaonan roughly understood what he meant. He merely smiled and did not continue.

After Xie Chenjin’s drinks were prepared, the dishes from the hotel were delivered as well. The two of them chatted as they talked. However, they felt that time seemed to have slowed down a lot. It was no longer as fast as it was when they were at work, nor was it as stressful as when they were at work.

When Xin Zimo arrived in s city, it was already past one in the afternoon. There were already people from the Xin Corporation there to receive him. The moment he got off the car, he headed straight for the exchange office.

After going to the VIP lounge and exchanging a few words with the person-in-charge, he signed a few documents.

Before signing, Sun Ping called him a few times. It was just one sentence, “President Xin, have you really thought it through? ”

“If I hadn’t thought it through, I wouldn’t have come personally, ” Xin Zimo said.

“actually, we can still think of a way to solve the problem of capital. There’s no need to go to the extent of selling stocks. ” Sun Ping still tried to persuade him.

“This is the fastest way. We can raise a large amount of capital in a short period of time. ” Xin Zimo signed his name on all the documents.

“Is it really worth it? ” Sun Ping sounded a little regretful.

“What do you think? ” Xin Zimo felt that he had discussed this issue with Sun Ping Countless Times.

Sun Ping looked at the stack of photos sent by his informant and sighed. “since you’ve decided, I won’t persuade you anymore. I’ll wait for you to come back. I have something to discuss with you. ”

“Okay. ” Xin Zimo hung up the phone.

Sun Ping spread the photos on the table one by one. The photography skills of these photos were really good. They were taken so clearly that he couldn’t help but praise them.

Although Sun Ping knew that the only outcome of these photos was that they would be torn apart by Xin Zimo.

When Sun Ping was flipping through these photos, his phone suddenly rang.

Sun Ping took a look and saw that it was the CEO of the Xin family’s sworn enemy, the Huayuan Group, Zhang Cheng.

“Secretary Sun, what have you been busy with recently? ” Zhang Cheng called Sun Ping every few months. Each time, there was only one topic at the heart of the conversation. He asked Sun Ping if he wanted to work for him.

Zhang Cheng was really painstaking and very patient. He did not have any other abilities, but Huayuan’s wealth depended on two things. One was to poach someone, and the other was his mother-in-law.

It was said that back then, his mother-in-law had a large sum of money in her hands. After being cheated by Zhang Cheng, she built Hua Yuan. However, it was still okay. Hua Yuan had actually relied on Zhang Cheng’s despicable wealth for so many years to make a fortune.

Although Hua Yuan was far inferior to the Xin Corporation and Shi he, Zhang Cheng’s ability was to watch the tiger fight from a distance. When the Xin Corporation swallowed Shi he, he knew that the XIN corporation would definitely swallow Hua yuan next, so he had started poaching people from a long time ago.

Seeing that the Xin Corporation had almost suffered a crushing defeat in the financial industry this year, he knew that his good time had come.

“Director Zhang called me again today when you’re free. ” Sun Ping could not help but sneer in his tone.

This Zhang Cheng did not have any ability. He usually ate, drank, and had fun. However, there was one thing that was worth learning from other companies. He treated his subordinates very well. When Hua Yuan’s employees went out, who would not praise him, Zhang Cheng.

“It’s Saturday today. Is Secretary Sun Free? I’ll treat you to a few drinks. ” Zhang Cheng’s temper was also very good. After being repeatedly rejected by Sun Ping, he was still as patient as ever.

“No need. I still have to accompany my girlfriend. ” Sun Ping said Lazily.

“Secretary Sun is such a good man. I don’t know which lady has such luck. By the way, did I not take a fancy to the Lady of the Feng family that I introduced to you last time? ” Zhang Cheng was in high spirits.

“No need to trouble director Zhang to introduce me to a girlfriend. My relationship with my girlfriend is very good. ”

“Yes, yes. I invited you out for a drink today because I want to talk to you about something else. ” Zhang Cheng touched his chin “I heard that Xiao Xie has recently made a few big moves. Not only is his business thriving, but he also got your boss’s ex-girlfriend. He’s really proud of himself. ”

“Director Zhang, I advise you to keep your baseless words to yourself. ” Sun Ping’s eyes turned cold.

“It doesn’t have to be baseless. I just heard about it on the golf course. It’s been spread like wildfire, ” Zhang Cheng said. “Your boss’s business isn’t going well, and his love life doesn’t seem to be going well either. ”

“Director Zhang, there’s no need to tell me this. ” Sun Ping looked at the photo in his hand. The upper-class circle of city a was only so big. Everyone knew that something had happened. It was no wonder that Xin zimo would lock Du Anran up by his side.

“okay, okay, okay. Let’s not talk about this. Secretary Sun, don’t think that I’m being too long-winded. Once this person is unlucky, even drinking cold water will make his teeth stop. I advise Secretary Sun to find a few more big trees so that he can enjoy the shade. ” Zhang Cheng’s original intention was, of course, to Poach Sun Ping away He knew that once this Sun Ping was poached away by Hua Yuan, the pillars of the Xin family would fall.

“In this kind of weather, there’s no need to enjoy the shade, ” Sun Ping replied indifferently.

“My Hua Yuan’s door has always been open for Secretary Sun. ” Zhang Cheng was still smiling after being rejected by Sun Ping, as if he was used to it.

“If there’s nothing else, I’ll hang up. CEO Zhang, don’t spread any unreliable news in the future. You should know our CEO Xin’s methods. ”

Sun Ping didn’t wait for Zhang Cheng to speak and hung up the phone. Although this kind of thing in the upper-class circle would only spread in a small area, the impact was very serious.

Sun Ping couldn’t help but look at the stack of photos in his hands. He really didn’t know what Du Anran was thinking. She did things entirely according to her own wishes, completely disregarding CEO Xin’s feelings and everything that involved the Xin Corporation.

At this juncture, President Xin and Xie Chenjin were sworn enemies. She and Xie Chenjin were entangled with each other. What would others think of President Xin.

This woman, no wonder she could not control the peace of the world.

Sun Ping did not know how he would give this photo to President Xin when he returned the next day. He reckoned that he would have to be taught a lesson again.

Sun Ping put the photo into an envelope and did not care about Xin Zimo’s personal matters. At worst, he would just cut the Gordian Knot. When he had no other choice, Xin zimo would definitely leave Du Anran.

What he needed to do now was how to get back the funds that Xin Zimo had invested in the financial industry, and how to put the information that Xin Zimo had brought back from London to use.

If possible, he would try his best to persuade Xin Zimo to abandon the Golden Plate Garden Project. This was a project that would not make a profit at all.

When Chi Xue learned about the news about Xie Chenjin and Du Anran, she was sitting in her own shop drinking tea.

The sunlight shone through the two sides of the glass in the shop and shone on her body, making her feel warm. As she looked at the stylist who had sent her the sample spring dresses, she listened to the salespeople in the shop serving a few young ladies.

Her shop’s age range was 20 to 30, and the price range was more than 1,000. Therefore, the rich young ladies who came to her shop were either from very good families, or they were the young friends of rich bosses. Their social circle was similar to hers, but because of the social scope, she often did not receive as much information as them, or even much slower than them.

Chi Xue had always wanted to enter their circle by herself, so she would try her best to remember every customer who came to her place, who was the daughter of a secretary and who was the daughter of a certain CEO.

Because she had a good personality, especially knew how to win people over, and her mouth was sweet, she had really made a lot of friends in city a over the past six months.

“Miss Chi, Miss Chi. ” A fashionable young lady walked over to her, holding a new dress in her hand.
