Although Ji An didn't know why Lang Xuan was looking for him, according to the contract, he could be considered her nominal superior. If there were any problems with the work, then it would make sense for him to look for him.

However, when she thought of the information that she had received regarding the head of the Xie Clan, she couldn't help but feel a little nervous. After all, he was a legendary figure in the business world.

She had only knocked twice when she heard the answer from inside. She let out a light breath before pushing open the door and entering.

"Director Xie, you're looking for me?" She walked over to the desk and stood there. Then she looked up and smiled.

He wore a black suit with a black collar and white shirt, which accentuated his fair skin. He clasped his hands on the table with a slight smile on his face as his gaze landed on Ji An'an.

Today, she was wearing a flowery dress and an antique necklace. Without much decoration, she looked exquisite and capable. Her long hair was draped over her back and a strand or two of hair casually fell on her shoulders.

He raised his hand to indicate her to take a seat. "Miss Ji, please take a seat."

Ji An nodded and sat down in a chair. "Director Xie, may I ask why you are looking for me?" "But the problem with comics?"

The sound of the bell was like a gentle breeze blowing through a bell, moving and pleasant to the ears.

Xie Langxuan's gaze softened. "There's no problem with Miss Ji's painting, so there's no need to worry."

Ji An didn't understand what was going on. He looked puzzledly at Xie Langxuan and asked, "What's that?"

"Miss Ji might not know this, but I have a cousin who really likes your comics. Now that I know that I've come to A City to meet you, and that I've pestered you to get an autograph, I have a headache, so I have to trouble Miss Ji."

So it was because of this matter.

Ji An let out a sigh of relief. He pursed his lips and smiled. "You're too kind, Director Xie. It's just an autograph. Just ask someone to tell me. There's no need to spend so much time looking for me."

The woman in front of him was talking and laughing, like flying flowers that brought willow catkins, full of warmth and empathy.

If he did not make use of this opportunity, it would be difficult for him to find an excuse to see her again.

"In the end, I'll have to trouble you to come personally and show my sincerity," he said as he took a pen and paper from the side and handed them over to Ji An. "I'd like to ask Miss Ji to sign my cousin's name."

Ji Anan straightforwardly accepted it. She tested the brush, then lowered her head to sign her name. As she was drawing the last line, she raised her head and met with a pair of extremely gentle eyes.

Xie Langxuan did not expect her to suddenly raise her head and did not control his emotions for a moment. He coughed lightly and smiled again as he asked, "Miss Ji, is there a problem?"

In the blink of an eye, the person before him was still looking at him in a gentle manner. Ji An thought that he must have been seeing things, or else how could he have seen the unrelenting love in Xie Langxuan's eyes?

She found what she was about to say. "Well, I wonder if Chief's cousin has anything to say to me that I want to write on my signature."

After saying that, she felt that she had too many things to do. The person sitting in front of her was the group boss, so she couldn't waste too much of his time. She immediately added, "It doesn't matter if she doesn't have one, I can just write her a sentence."

Xie Langxuan's eyes lit up slightly. "I almost forgot if you didn't say anything. My cousin did say something."

"Go ahead."

"All of the encounters in the world are the reunion of a long separation."

Ji An laughed. "These words have become quite popular on the internet recently. Then I will write them."

"Alright."

While she was seriously writing, Xie Langxuan fixed his gaze on her. From this angle, he could see her thick, low eyelashes slightly tremble as she moved, like a feather brushing past his heart.

Sunlight from the window came in and fell on her, enveloping her like an angel with wings.

He wanted time to stop at this moment, to give her a little more time to spend with him.

After drawing the end, Ji Anan put away the brush and returned the paper to Xie Langxuan. "Alright."

Xie Langxuan's gaze followed his gaze onto the paper. The words written on it were graceful and beautiful, similar to the charm that she exuded. He sincerely praised, "Your calligraphy looks very good."

"Thank you." Ning was rather embarrassed by the praise, especially when the man was a handsome man.

Feeling that there was nothing left for him to do, Ji An planned to take his leave.

Under her questioning gaze, he politely opened his mouth and said, "This signature is for personal reasons and not for official business. I am very grateful to Miss Ji for agreeing to this request of mine. I hope that you will have the honor of inviting Miss Ji to a meal to thank you."

Ji An felt that this person was being too courteous. Seeing his courteous appearance, she couldn't even imagine how he would affect the mall. She quickly waved her hand and declined, "Director Xie is too courteous. This is just a small matter. I don't need you to take it to heart."

"Perhaps to you, it's just a small matter, but to my cousin, it's a dream come true. She even specifically told me to thank you, hoping that you'd show me some respect, Miss Ji, or else I wouldn't be able to explain it to you when I go back."

She was indeed an expert negotiator. Just a few short sentences were enough to convince her. If she still didn't agree, then it would be a bit unreasonable. Ji An could only agree. "Since Director Xie said so, then I won't be polite."

Xie Langxuan asked, "Then when will Miss Ji be free?"

"I promised Group Leader Liu that I would have a meal with them at noon. I'll be fine with the rest of the time."

"Fine, then why don't we choose the next day? How about tonight?"

"Sure."

"I'll pick you up tonight."

When they were out of the office, Ji An met Secretary Liu head on. She nodded at him before leaving.

Secretary Liu held a document in his hand. He had been waiting outside for a long time, and because the door to Ji An's room wasn't closed when he entered, he had listened to much of the conversation between the two. Looking at the departing Ji An, Secretary Liu was puzzled. He had been by the CEO's side for ten years, how could he not know?

After the office returned to its previous quiet state, Xie Langxuan stretched out his hand to slowly brush away the dried up words while a smile appeared in his eyes.

The relationship between people all depends on fate.

Ten years, fate allowed me to meet you once again.

You may have just met me for the first time, but for me, it's a long time since we've met.

Fate has given me this opportunity. Then I will grasp it and not leave in a hurry like I did before, never to be heard from again.

Carefully, he folded the piece of paper and put it into a pocket near the heart of his suit.

Everything about her was worth collecting.
