C61

Zuo Zixian's life began to return to peace, and Ling Yiheng was engrossed in a lot of work. However, this separation seemed to have changed their minds.

Ling Yiheng held his forehead and drank a few more mouthfuls of coffee, but couldn't concentrate on his work no matter how hard he tried.

Knocking sounds came from the door, accompanied by Zhou Heng's flat voice. "Boss, it's me."

"Come in."

The next moment, Zhou Heng turned the doorknob and walked into Ling Yiheng's office. He placed an USB in front of Ling Yiheng and reported, "This is a phased report of the businesses in the group for the first quarter. Please take a look at it, Boss."

Ling Yiheng raised his head, looked at Zhou Heng and nodded slightly.

Zhou Heng looked at the man's bloodshot eyes and frowned. He wanted to open his mouth to warn Ling Yiheng to rest. However, he gave up as soon as the words came out of his mouth.

After all, he was well aware of the BOSS's willingness to work. It was not something that others could persuade.

Moreover, he did not know why he had been working so hard these past few days since he came back from Boston. He spent most of his time in the office, except for eating and sleeping, and sometimes even spent the night in the office.

At this rate, he was worried that the Boss would fall ill.

"Is there anything else?" Seeing that Zhou Heng was still standing there, Ling Yiheng frowned and asked.

"Oh, I'm fine. Then I'll go out first." As he spoke, Zhou Heng turned around and walked out. He did not expect that he would be distracted by his own thoughts.

"Wait a moment."

Just as he was about to leave the room, he heard Ling Yi Heng's voice from behind him.

"What is it, Boss?"

Ling Yiheng rubbed his forehead and said in a deep voice, "I remember that Boston will continue to send people to protect Zuo Zixian secretly, don't let her get hurt again."

Although he had already dealt with Sun Yi, he still couldn't be at ease. Especially now that he wasn't by her side anymore, he was very worried about her safety.

"Alright, I understand. Boss, I will send down the orders." Zhou Heng nodded. In his heart, he was more surprised by how serious Ling Yiheng was about Zuo Zixian.

After Zhou Heng left, Ling Yiheng took his phone and looked at Zuo Zixian's number, unsure if he should call him to ask.

It should be around nine o'clock in the evening in Boston.

After hesitating for a long time, he still unhappily put down the phone.

Had the woman not thought of him at all while he was gone? There was not even a single call from him. This was a direct insult to Ling Yiheng's male pride, which had been sought after by women of all ages since he was young.

After he hung up the phone, he continued to look at a file on his computer, telling himself to stop thinking about Zuo Zixian for the time being.

However, a few minutes later, the phone rang.

His heart skipped a beat, and he quickly took the phone. The man's gaze instantly darkened when he saw the caller.

"Hello, Mika?" Ling Yiheng picked up the phone and frowned slightly.

"Yi Heng, are you busy?" Qiu Shitong's soft and clear voice sounded from the other side, sounding a little cautious.

"Yes, I'm busy. Is there anything I can help you with?" His voice remained as calm as ever.

To him, Qiu Shitong was a headache.

"I heard Aunt Mo say that you're back home, so I called to greet you. There's nothing else." She said hesitantly, not mentioning that she would also be returning to the country in a few days.

In fact, she had finished her course long ago, but had stayed on in Boston to take an extra course because she wanted him to take care of his business and not be in a hurry about their marriage.

However, she didn't think that she would be so considerate, and in exchange, he wanted to break off the engagement.

"Mm, I'm fine. Remember to take care of yourself." The man's voice was faint, and there was a touch of stiffness in his toneless voice.

Actually, Qiu Shitong understood his intentions from last time. However, she clearly didn't want to accept the fact that he didn't want to fulfill the engagement with her and still tried to maintain her calm on the surface.

"I will, then... "Ye-gege, don't work too hard. You can take your time with the company's matters. You need to rest more." In her heart, she still regarded herself as his fiancée.

In any case, as long as his words didn't leave her mouth, as long as the elders of both sides still approved of their engagement, she would persist until the end.

Having liked him for so long, she would not give up so easily.

"I understand. It should be very late by then. You should rest early. Don't worry about me." Ling Yiheng said. He no longer wanted to continue chatting with her.

In fact, he had been like this for the past few years with Qiu Shitong. He would occasionally make a phone call, but they had only exchanged a few words.

He knew that Qiu Shitong wanted to have a further development with him, but he never gave her the chance.

Because he knew too well in his heart that he would never marry her.

"Good. Big brother Yi Heng. Goodbye."
