C48

After work, Lin Zihan purposely dragged her to the last office because she didn't want to see the weird looks from her colleagues. On the other hand, she wanted to avoid the chance to meet with Xiao Shuren.

Unfortunately, someone just didn't want to get in her way. When she stepped into the elevator, he showed up in front of her like a gentleman.

Why was he in the elevator? Was he waiting for her?

"I waited a whole day, but my coffee didn't come. Why?" Xiao Shuren asked as he raised her face and stared at her.

Lin Zihan met his gaze and said indifferently: "I'm sorry, I forgot."

"Then why are you avoiding me?" He stared at her.

"I didn't." Lin Zihan retreated a step, avoiding his grasp. She lowered her eyes and was silent for two seconds. Then, he raised his head and stared at Chen Changsheng. She asked, "Which one is your true appearance?" She had been looking forward to asking this question, but because she was so surprised, she hadn't thought to ask it at all.

"What do you think?" Xiao Shuren chuckled.

"Now." Lin Zihan didn't think too much about it. Assassins were usually more mysterious. This was what she had been thinking since a long time ago. Xiao Shuren nodded and walked out of the elevator with her.

"I'll send you back." He took her hand and led her to the door of the office where his car was waiting. Lin Zihan withdrew her hand from his and politely said: "Thank you, CEO, there's no need."

After saying that, he walked to the Audi by the side of the road. Xiao Zhifan lowered his empty right hand uneasily as he watched her get into Du Yunfei's car. Jealousy and jealousy shot up his chest at the same time, causing him to feel the pain of being pierced by needles.

She avoided him, purposely trying to pull a long distance relationship with him. Was it because of that Du Yunfei?

Lin Zihan stared at his stunned figure in the rearview mirror. She could not bear to see it, but she had to do so. Yi Yuxin's words echoed in her mind again and again.

"Zi Han, what's wrong?" Du Yunfei quickly glanced at her and asked with concern.

Lin Zihan shook her head, "Nothing." She didn't want him to know about her thoughts, and even more so, she couldn't let him know that Xiao Shuren and Leng Feng were the same person.

Du Yunfei didn't go straight home, instead, he drove the car to a hotel. Lin Zihan suspiciously sized up the luxurious hotel's front door and asked, "Yunfei, what did you bring me here for?"

"Zi Han, don't tell me you don't remember what day it is today?" Du Yunfei led her into a private room with a smile on his face.

"You've been promoted?" Or did you get rich? "

Du Yunfei shook his head and clapped his hands. The waiter who was waiting at the entrance slowly walked in with a beautiful dining car. On the dining car, there was a heart-shaped cake with 24 colored candles that emitted a gentle and beautiful light.

"Happy Birthday." Du Yunfei bent down and kissed her on the cheek.

Lin Zihan gaped. Today was not her birthday. Back then when he asked her about it, she had only casually mentioned a date, but he actually …

"Zi Han, don't be so touched. Let's blow out the candle first." Du Yunfei pushed her to the side of the table.

She could not let Du Yunfei's feelings be wasted like this. She thought for a while, Lin Zihan earnestly made three wishes, blowing out all the candles in one breath.

"Thank you, Yunfei." Lin Zihan stared at him, touched, doing this when she was at her most heartbroken. Did he do this on purpose to move her to death?

"Zi Han, it's been so long. Are you ready?" Du Yunfei gently said as he raised his right hand, revealing a beautiful woman's diamond ring.

Lin Zihan was surprised once again. Was he proposing to her? But she didn't love him at all. The person she loved might never be able to propose to her, but she truly loved him.

Marrying Xiao Zhanfan was something she never dared to think about. If she wanted to escape his life, the best way was to find someone to marry, and Du Yunfei was without a doubt the best candidate.

Du Yunfei loved her so much that she was using him to deceive his feelings! This was not fair to Du Yunfei!

"Zi Han." Du Yunfei lightly called out, looking at her expectantly, waiting for her to accept his ring.

Lin Zihan took a deep breath and said helplessly, "Yun Fei, this is too sudden. Let me consider it for another two days, okay?" She had to think of a perfect reason.

"Alright, I'll wait for you for two days." He had expected such an outcome, but in order to obtain her in front of Leng Feng, he had no choice but to increase his speed.

The two of them ate their dinner with candlelight in their minds. Soft piano music filled every corner of the room. The romance in the room was wasted in each other's silence.

Lin Zihan had always seen Du Yunfei's deep emotions and felt them in his heart. However, he could not accept Du Yunfei's proposal because he was moved, could he?

Wang Wenjie sized up Lin Zihan's emotionless face and went straight to the point, "Why is it that I can hear rumors of you and Director Xiao together wherever you go?"

"Can you speak elegantly once?" Lin Zihan glared at her and snappily said.

"Is that true?" Wang Wenjie looked at her seriously.

Lin Zihan lowered her eyes and guiltily shook her head. Recalling what happened that day, her face heated up once again.

"It would be best if you didn't. If you dare to do such a wicked thing, I won't forgive you! What I hate the most is this kind of guy who takes away people's loved ones. " Wang Wenjie said angrily. She was the typical victim!

"I also hate him!" Lin Zihan muttered softly.

"Take care of your own matters! I'm going back to work. " Wang Wenjie gazed at her as she finished her sentence, then headed to her office.

As she passed by the cubicle, a small clerk called out from behind her: "Assistant Lin, please wait a moment."

Lin Qinghan was stunned. He turned his head and asked, "What is it?"

"Madam Xiao wants you to go to the conference room." The clerk looked at her with a strange expression on his face.

Madam Xiao?! Lin Zihan's heart skipped a beat. Lady Xiao, who rarely appeared at the company, had suddenly arrived? And he even called for her?

There definitely wouldn't be any good intentions. Thinking back to what Yi Yuxin said yesterday, it must be related to this matter.

Lin Zihan didn't dare to hesitate at all as she quickly walked towards the conference room. In the large conference room, the elegant and noble Madam Xiao was sitting at the head of the table like a goddess. There was no expression on her cold face. As expected, any kind of mother would have any kind of son. It was just as scary to see a straight face!

Beside her was Yi Yuxin, who was waiting to see a good show.

"Nice to meet you, Madam. Hi, Manager Yi." Lin Zihan carefully called out, standing five meters away from Madam Xiao.

Madam Xiao looked at her with disdain. She had wanted to directly insult her, but her words suddenly changed. "Have I seen you somewhere before?"

Seen her? Lin Zihan was frightened. How was this possible? Because other than the time at the advertising event, she could not remember seeing Madam Xiao. However, Madam Xiao did not see her that time. Three years ago, she had never interacted with these rich families, so running away from home for three years was even more impossible.

The Xiao family and the Xie family were lifelong friends, could it be …! Lin Zihan was shocked. Although Xie Yunzhe's marriage was not grand, he had a good relationship with almost all of them.

Lin Zihan suppressed the astonishment in her heart and said calmly, "Madam, we have never met."

Madam Xiao didn't think too much about it. She knew that it was normal for her to have seen so many women around Xiao Shuren. After looking forward for a few days, she finally decided to go on a business trip with Xiao Shuren. She had to finish her official business.

As such, she cleared her throat and said coldly, "I heard that you were the one who rejected the engagement with Yu Xin, am I right?"

Sure enough, it was because of this matter. Lin Zihan groaned in her heart. Her heart was already in pain, why did she have to be punished here?

Her question was so sharp. How was she supposed to answer it?

"Not responding is equivalent to admitting it?" Madam Xiao elegantly stood up and slowly walked towards her. She cast a sidelong glance at her and continued, "I'll be frank with you. If you want to marry a mortal, don't even think about it for the rest of your life."

Lin Zihan lowered her eyes and didn't say anything. She didn't think that offending Madam Xiao would bring about any good end. No matter what she said, she had to bear with it.

"I heard you were divorced and had a child?"

"Yes."

"So you mean you want the mortal to chase you?"

"I …" Lin Zihan's heart skipped a beat. She didn't know what had happened because she had been knocked unconscious by Xiao Shuren's double identity. She had no idea how she fell in love with him!

"Aunty, she just wants the Xiao family's money. We can just pay her to leave the mortal world." Yi Yuxin had been silent the entire time. If she could get Lin Zihan to leave Xiao Shuren, she would be willing to pay any price, no matter what he wanted her to do.

"It doesn't make sense!" Madam Xiao reprimanded him with dissatisfaction. "Why would the Xiao family give her money?" She didn't believe that he was unable to deal with this little girl!

"I don't want your money." Money was a good thing, and she was indeed in need of it. However, she couldn't afford to lose face for these wealthy families.

"Then what do you want?" Yi Yuxin said anxiously.

"No matter what you want, the Xiao family will not give you a single cent!" Madam Xiao did not agree with Yi Yuxin's actions.

"I don't want anything. No matter if it's the Xiao family's money or a man, I don't want anything." Lin Zihan gritted her teeth and walked out. Resisting the tears that welled up in her eyes, she ran towards the office under the discussion of the crowd.

Madam Xiao looked at her disappearing back and sneered. "This woman really has some backbone. I just don't know if she'll actually be able to do it."

"She's just talking angrily right now. It's not like her brain is teasing me. How could she let go of that fat fish, Fan Fan Fan?"

Madam Xiao turned around and patted her shoulder, sighing. "In the coming days, you'll have to rely on yourself to pull back your heart. Don't bother with those silly little tricks. Smart women wouldn't waste their time on such small things."

"Auntie, I know."

"No man would like a woman who is good at scheming and causing trouble for no reason. Either do it brazenly and kill her directly, or do nothing else and use the gentleness and kindness that a woman should have in order to send herself to the mortal world." Madam Xiao sighed softly as she walked toward the door of the conference room. "I should head back now. I've already made things clear to them. Whoever dares to tell the CEO that I've come today will directly take the money and leave."

"I've already warned you. Aunty, I'll send you back."

"No need, if you want to continue staying at the company, then work hard. Don't let your thoughts run wild."

Yi Yuxin nodded obediently as she walked her downstairs. After instructing the driver, she turned around and returned to her office after the car had gone far away.

Her beautiful figure was reflected in the four corners of the elevator. Madam Xiao's words echoed in her mind. He could either kill her directly or save his heart.
