He was unable to refute Han Hao's words.

On the way back, he kept thinking about how she went to France that year, how she met Chen Yiran and the others, how she became a jewelry designer, and how she became a Chen Xi.

This was how Tang Hongbo usually did things. The wheels of the carriage quickly rotated through the dark night, just like how he was feeling. At this moment, he seemed to have entered an endless darkness.

Suddenly, her waist tightened and someone tightly hugged Duan Wenyu from behind. However, she did not resist, and without even thinking, she could tell that she was someone that she was familiar with.

"A Yu." Rong Xuan's gentle voice sounded beside her ear.

"You're here?" Duan Wenyu turned around and put down the cup before him. Then, he wrapped his hands around his neck as he gave a dubious smile.

Two hours later, Duan Wenyu's back was facing Rong Xuan, and was slowly buttoning up the wound in her chest. The lipstick on her lips had long been wiped away, and there were some red marks on her wrist that had been strangled.

Rong Xuan quietly laid on the bed, his exposed chest still dripping with fine sweat, the messy bed sheets and scattered clothes all over the floor, all of these indicated that something had happened.

"A Yu, is something the matter?" Rong Xuan asked after taking a deep breath.

"Yes, are you willing to help me?" Duan Wenyu asked.

Rong Xuan suddenly sighed.

"A Yu, you know that. You don't need to do this, I will help you." Rong Xuan said indifferently.

"I know, but I also know that there is no such thing as a free lunch." Duan Wenyu replied softly.

Rong Xuan remained silent for a long while, before speaking slowly.

"Do you think everything you've done with me is a deal?"

"If you must." Duan Wenyu said.

"Well, what is it this time?" Rong Xuan suddenly asked casually, as if he had thought it through.

Duan Wenyu stood up and then walked to the side of the table. She once again lifted the wine that she had not finished drinking before slowly walking over to the window, and said in a soft voice.

"I need …"

After Rong Xuan finished listening, he was very shocked, but it only lasted for an instant.

"Are you sure you want to do this?" Rong Xuan asked.

"We have to." Duan Wenyu looked at the liquid in the cup and said resolutely.

"But, aren't you afraid of him discovering something so risky?" Rong Xuan asked.

"With you helping me, how could I? I believe you. " Duan Wenyu slowly said.

Rong Xuan did not speak anymore, and only said three words slowly after a long while.

"I'll help you."

The new product of the Tang clan was scheduled to be released on Wednesday, but on Monday, the moment Chen Xi entered the company, she heard that Tang Hongbo was going on a business trip.

In the past few days, he had been busy with the design of the new product, and had very little time to think of Tang Hongbo.

However, this sort of tranquility suddenly made her feel somewhat accustomed. She suddenly felt that she had gotten used to his existence and his harassment.

He hadn't told her on business, so why did she feel strange? Furthermore, when she looked at her phone, she didn't see any phone calls or text messages.

She even felt that he wouldn't care about her, but she strongly hoped that he could call her or send her a text.

She shook her head, not knowing what she was thinking.

Chen Xi felt that she must have gone mad to think about him. She shook her head vigorously before starting back to work.

"Sister Xixi, are you alright?" Li Wenqi suddenly asked.

"Ah, what?" Chen Xi asked.

"Sister Xixi, I've been calling out to you many times already, and you still didn't react. Are you alright?" Li Weiqi asked again.

"It's nothing, do you need anything?" Chen Xi looked at her and asked.

"Of course, I have something to do. Today is Tuesday, so here is the sample of the jewelry. Take a look." Li Wenqi said as she handed the box over.

"So fast, the sample came out already? Let me see. " Chen Xi received the box from Li Wenqi.

Li Wenqi was surprised.

It's already Tuesday today and the press conference will be held tomorrow. Sister Xixi, what are you thinking about? Li Wenqi looked at her with a weird expression.

"Ah, yes? It's going to be a press conference tomorrow. I forgot. Chen Xi said somewhat embarrassedly.

"Sister Xixi, I've noticed that you have been absent-minded recently. Li Wenqi asked in concern.

"It's fine, you're overthinking it." Chen Xi looked at the jewelry in the box and said softly.

Suddenly, Li Wenqi smiled dubiously.

"Oh, I got it. Is it because the CEO went on a business trip that you …" Li Wenqi laughed until his teeth could no longer be seen.

Chen Xi's hand trembled, the necklace in her hand clattered onto the table, she raised her head and looked at Li Wenqi, her eyes filled with killing intent.

Li Wenqi mischievously smiled.

"You take your time. I'm leaving first." With that, Li Wenqi ran off like a wisp of smoke.

Chen Xi picked up the necklace on the table, then started to think carefully, was her absent-mindedness this obvious these few days? Even his own assistant could tell, was it really because he was on a business trip?

She was very satisfied with the sample he had made of the jewels, but did not know when he would return, or whether he would be able to make it in time for the launch of the new product.

However, no one had expected that things would turn out like this.

When Chen Xi woke up, it was already drizzling. City A was already a rainy city, Chen Xi packed himself well, and when he went out, Chen Yiran and the others did not have a bed.

However, it was a new product release today and she didn't have the time to wait for them to wake up for breakfast. When she went out, she suddenly felt a sense of security.

However, she only jumped for a moment, not caring about it at all. She looked at Xiao Yu outside and was thinking about how to get to the company, when she heard Han Hao's voice sounding from behind her.

"I'll send you to the company."

Chen Xi turned her head.

"Brother Han Hao, are you awake? You've just come back, so why don't you take a break? " Chen Xi said with a smile.

"It's alright. The jet lag is already reversed. I know that today is your new product conference and it's still raining. I'll send you over." Han Hao said gently.

Regarding his conversation with Tang Hongbo earlier, he had never said a single word to Chen Xi, because he knew that she definitely would not want to know, and he would not add anything further.

Even if Tang Hongbo had something back then, it did not mean that there would still be something. And he would not allow Tang Hongbo to harm Chen Xi again.

"Mm, thank you." Chen Xi smiled as she thanked her.

"Let's go, thank you for everything." Han Hao said as he immediately left the room and drove to the entrance.

When Chen Xi rushed to the company, the venue was more or less prepared. She looked around, but did not see him.

"Chen Xi, why are you here so early?" Meng Qingxia's voice came from behind.

"Is it early? From the looks of it, you were here earlier than me? " Chen Xi laughed.

"Then do you think this director is so easy to be? Ai, cousin has been away for so long and still hasn't returned. It seems that he won't be able to make it to today's press conference." Meng Qingxia said.

"Yes, yes? "What a pity." Chen Xi didn't know what to say.

Meng Qingxia looked at her and laughed.

"That's it?"

"Otherwise?" Chen Xi asked.

"I thought you would miss him?" Meng Qingxia said with a smile.

Chen Xi blushed.

"What are you talking about? Alright, let's go take a look at the venue, Director Meng. " Chen Xi pushed her.

The venue was in the company's event hall. Since it wasn't a large press conference, there weren't many reporters invited, so it was held in the company.

"Oh right, when will the reporters be coming?" Chen Xi asked.

Meng Qingxia looked at her watch.

"It should be around 10 o'clock. It's still early, so there's no rush. Oh right, this is your first time producing a design work since you came to the company. How is it? Are you confident?" Meng Qingxia asked.

At this moment, the two of them leaned against the stage and chatted softly.

"I never do anything without confidence." Chen Xi laughed.

Meng Qingxia also looked at her. This Duan Wenzhuo was different from her memories, as expected, a confident woman was the most beautiful. Meng Qingxia could not help but smile.

"What are you laughing at?" Meng Qingxia asked.

"Nothing, I just feel that you're getting more and more beautiful." Meng Qingxia said with a smile.

"Don't tell me you didn't think I was pretty before?" Chen Xi deliberately asked with a straight face.

"How do you know I've seen you before?" Meng Qingxia suddenly asked.

Chen Xi was startled, was she trying to trick her? Chen Xi thought in her heart.

"I mean, what did you mean when you saw me a month ago?" Chen Xi asked with a smile.

Meng Qingxia knew that she was avoiding him, so he did not pursue any further.

"Alright, let's not talk about this. Today's press conference should be very important to you, right?" Meng Qingxia asked.

"Of course, as you say, this is the first time since I've returned home that my design work has been displayed publicly. Of course, it's very important." Chen Xi said with a smile.

Oh right, I heard that Duan Wenyu gave you a gem. Did you use the work this time? "" Yes, I did. Meng Qingxia asked.

"What do you think?" Chen Xi asked mysteriously.
