Bai Yixuan had spent the entire night studying the details of the cooperation contract, and bright and early the next day, he went back to the company to convene an emergency response meeting. After the meeting, he reported the countermeasures to the chairman and then planned to visit Shi Che personally and discuss the matters of this cooperation. Unexpectedly, when Manager Chen reported to him, he mentioned that he had already sent an employee from his department to meet with President Shi. This employee knew President Shi and had some connections; maybe they could reach an agreement.
The image of Ling Chuxia almost instantly appeared in Bai Yixuan’s mind. His eyes darkened, and his voice dropped, "Ling Chuxia?"
Hearing Bai Yixuan blurt out this name, Manager Chen was slightly surprised, but he quickly nodded, "Yes, it’s her."
Bai Yixuan’s brow furrowed deeply.
Although he didn’t know what kind of relationship Ling Chuxia and Shi Che had, based on his observations during their previous encounters, it was definitely not simple. But then again, Shi Che was Ling Yunshu’s fiancé... For some reason, at that moment, his heart felt very uneasy.
He had no time to think; he immediately stood up, grabbed his car keys, and rushed out, leaving Manager Chen dumbfounded, standing there full of confusion.
Bai Yixuan sped the whole way, continuously dialing Ling Chuxia’s phone, but no one answered. His unease grew larger and larger, and he could only keep pressing the accelerator faster.
When he arrived at the hotel where Shi Che was staying, he didn’t even have time to catch his breath before he quickly made his way to the top floor. As he stepped out of the elevator, he saw from afar a petite figure running towards him in tears, and his unease reached a critical point, erupting into towering rage when he saw her face stained with tears, her lips swollen, and her clothes disheveled.
Shi Che... How dare he bully Xiaxia?
Bai Yixuan, furious, started walking towards the presidential suite, but his arm was abruptly grabbed, causing him to pause and turn slightly, he said softly, "Xiaxia, wait here for me, I’ll be right back."
Even if Bai Yixuan didn’t say it, Ling Chuxia knew what he was about to do; he must think that Shi Che had bullied her, and he was going to confront Shi Che about it. But how could she let Bai Yixuan do that?
Bai Yixuan still needed Shi Che to sign the cooperation contract; he couldn’t afford to fall out with Shi Che. Besides... ultimately, it was she who had slapped Shi Che.
Ling Chuxia tightly clutched Bai Yixuan’s arm, not daring to let go, her voice was hoarse, "Brother Xuan, I know what you want to do, but please don’t go, things are not as you imagine." Discover more novels at novel·fıre·net
Bai Yixuan’s eyes flashed with confusion. Anyone with eyes could see what she had just been through. How could he let it go ?
"Really, nothing happened. Brother Xuan, if you really care about me, take me away from here now, please?" By the end of her plea, her hand gripping his arm was shaking uncontrollably.
Bai Yixuan stood there, looking into Ling Chuxia’s eyes, filled with anger, compassion, and helplessness, which all finally turned into a sigh.
His tightly clenched fists gradually relaxed, and he then took off his suit jacket and draped it over Ling Chuxia. Wrapping his arm around her, they slowly walked away step by step.
