But now it was clear that he had made a move on someone he should not have made a move on. The little bit of kindness he had left in him was gone, his former friend, his present enemy.

He must have had a hard time in his heart, bearing the weight of the whole Tang family, the weight of his decisions, his words, even the tone of his words, carefully thought through. His stress was unimaginable to her, but he had waited for her for three years for her, for himself, for the cause he cared most about.

Chen Xi couldn't resist hugging him from behind and pressing her face against his broad back. Separated by the soft cloth, she felt the warmth that belonged to him.

But strangely, he felt as though he had gained the reassurance of a magnificent army. He gently covered her hand with his thumb, unconsciously rubbing the back of her hand with his thumb.

For a time, both of them remained silent, but they felt a tacit understanding that was better than silence. Time seemed to have stopped.

The petite and beautiful girl in front of the giant window tightly hugged the slender and tall man from behind. This scene looked happy and pleasing to the eyes, but the man was silent for a long time before he suddenly laughed.

"What are you doing? This is an office, what if someone comes in? "

The girl seemed to be startled, and then viciously pinched the man as she chided him.

"Why did you imitate me?"

The man seemed to be in a great mood. He grabbed her hand and pulled her from behind to in front of him with force. Then with a step, he pressed her back against the glass window in front of him.

The girl exclaimed. Then, she subconsciously covered her mouth and said in a buzzing voice.

"You, don't act recklessly." The girl seemed to know what was going to happen next.

The man placed his left hand on the glass of the window to her right, trapping her between himself and the window. He lowered his head and smiled at her.

"Why are you covering your mouth?" His teasing voice and his warm words landed on her white neck.

Secretary Wang did not want to disturb them, but the situation was urgent and he had to force himself to enter.

Before he could say anything, Tang Hongbo opened his mouth first.

"Have you seen enough?"

Chen Xi hurriedly pushed Tang Hongbo away, only to see him awkwardly standing at the doorway.

Chen Xi's face immediately flushed red, he wished he could immediately find a hole to hide in.

"I … I'm leaving first." Chen Xi covered her face, really wanting to cry.

"What is it?" Tang Hongbo restored his cold voice.

Only now did Secretary Wang realize that Tang Hongbo was asking him.

"Yes, it's about Miss Duan Wenyu."

After Chen Xi heard this, she suddenly retracted her foot that was just about to step out of the office.

She turned around expressionlessly, wanting to know more.

How could Tang Hongbo not know what Chen Xi was thinking?

"Go on." Tang Hongbo turned around and returned to his seat.

"It's like this, our people found traces of the Miss Duan at the bar yesterday, our people have been watching them closely, they were fine initially, but after that, the Miss Duan was taken away by Second Young Master, our people were lost, and we haven't been able to find them since." Secretary Wang said with some difficulty.

Tang Hongbo's eyes dimmed, and said with a somewhat stiff tone.

"Why didn't you say so earlier? When I went to see Rong Xuan today, I thought … Forget it, A Xu? He took people with him? What is it? " Tang Hongbo said to himself.

"That is unknown, but I think that our people must have been intentionally left behind by the Second Young Master." Secretary Wang guessed.

"Then why aren't you looking into it yet?" Tang Hongbo's face was gloomy, he seemed to be very angry.

"Got it, I'll go now." Secretary Wang said as he turned to leave.

Since he was able to easily shake off our people, then it means that he has guessed that we will not be able to find him, so send a few more people over. Also, send someone to pick him up when the three o'clock plane lands tomorrow afternoon. Tang Hongbo instructed with a gloomy face.

"Alright, I understand."

Chen Xi only regained her senses after Secretary Wang left, and then, she asked nervously.

"How can this be? Why did he want to take Duan Wenyu away?

"I don't know what he wants to do, but he's always doing things according to his personality. He likes to mess around, but he doesn't know how to do it. Don't worry, he might have the temperament of a child and has no other intentions." Tang Hongbo comforted her.

Chen Xi obviously did not believe her.

"But you said, what is his purpose?"

Tang Hongbo had a headache. When he had instructed Secretary Wang just now, how could he have forgotten that she was there as well?

He smiled with rare embarrassment.

Furthermore, he is my younger brother, so how can I not understand him? Relax, the reason why he took her away is probably because he wants to reminisce about the past with her but does not want us to disturb him. After all, they have known each other before. Tang Hongbo calmed his expression.

Chen Xi sighed.

"I'm not worried about her at all. I'm just afraid that they might hurt you."

Tang Hongbo was startled for a moment, and then laughed.

"They won't be able to hurt me. Don't even think about it."

"Even though you said it like that, I'm still worried. Promise me that if you find anything new, you must tell me. You can't hide anything from me." Chen Xi looked him in the eye and said seriously.

"Alright." Tang Hongbo also replied seriously.

When Chen Xi returned to her office, she was extremely uneasy. She didn't even know what Li Wenqi had come in for.

"Sister Xixi, what are you thinking about?" Li Wenqi waved her hand in front of her face.

After repeating it a few times, Chen Xi finally regained her senses.

"Hey, Qi Qi, when did you come?" Chen Xi looked confused.

Li Wenqi really wanted to roll her eyes at her, then take a deep breath as she spoke.

"I came early, okay?"

"Is that so?" Chen Xi laughed awkwardly, then remembered something and continued speaking.

"Didn't I give you a vacation? Why are you here so quickly? "

"I don't have anything to do, so I came to sell my leave." Li Wenqi smiled sweetly.

"You should have rested for a few days. Did you get scared that day?" Chen Xi asked gently.

"It's alright, I'm not that weak. But, who are those people? It seems like they are here for the gem. What is going on? " Li Wenqi asked curiously.

"Sorry, Qi Qi, this is my fault. Actually, whoever they are is definitely not important, as long as you are fine, everything will be fine." Chen Xi smiled faintly.

"Alright, since Sister Xixi doesn't want to say it, then I won't ask. You don't need to apologize." Li Wenqi said with a smile.

"Oh, right. Since you're on vacation, I have something I need you to do. Don't worry, this time there won't be any danger." Chen Xi laughed.

"Sister Xixi, tell me. Even if there is danger, I will not refuse." Li Wenqi laughed at Chen Xi as if she was ready to die bravely at any moment.

"Alright, it's not that exaggerated. I just want you to contact the models that we prepared for the jewelry show last time."

"What's wrong? Are we going to have a jewelry show? " Li Wenqi asked.

"Yes, I'm preparing to hold it together with the annual party." Chen Xi replied.

"With the annual meeting? Will it be too late? " Li Wenqi asked worriedly.

"Everything is done by human hands. Didn't those models rehearse for a long time last time? It was delayed due to an accident. I told you to contact those models to save time." Chen Xi explained.

"Alright, I'll go contact them right away."

Just as Li Wenqi walked out, Meng Qingxia casually walked in.

"Sister-in-law, it's been hard on you. You've already done all the work for me. Tell me, how should I thank you?" Meng Qingxia laughed happily.

"Thank? If this were to happen a few more times and I had to work for you, would you hate me? " Chen Xi said as she tidied up the things on the table.

"Why?" Meng Qingxia asked casually.

"Because your cousin said it, Qingxia is really more and more presumptuous, to actually let the Madam President work for her, it is truly outrageous, so I might as well give you the role of director." Chen Xi imitated Tang Hongbo's tone.

"What?" Did my cousin really say that? "It's over, I'm definitely going to die. I'm leaving first, don't say that I've come to find you." Meng Qingxia rushed out of the door as if her butt was on fire.

When he walked past Ah Mu, he could not help but become a lady in a second. Then, like the wind, the woman walked into the CEO's office.

Chen Xi didn't know whether to laugh or cry as she shook her head.

After calming himself down, Chen Xi could not help but think about the matter regarding Duan Wenyu.

Actually, she had always been a little afraid and apprehensive in her heart. Duan Wenyu was no longer the same as she was five years ago.

She raised her wrist and looked at the time. It was time to get off work.

It was snowing outside at some point, so she was packing up to get off work when her cell phone suddenly rang.

She looked at her cell phone. It was an unfamiliar number that she did not recognize.
