Everyone else expressed their agreement, but Yan Jiu still had no news.

At the same time, standing in the office of the president of Li Group, Yan Jiu looked at it again and again on his mobile phone, and made up his mind to ask for leave: "Second Master, I have some personal matters to take care of. Can I get off work early today?"

"Date with your girlfriend?" Li Yuntang raised his pretty eyebrows and refused on the spot with a half-smile: "We'll talk about it after get off work."

"No..." Yan Jiu hesitated for a moment, but finally said Yan Xiaye's name: "Miss Xiaye's studio will open at nine o'clock tomorrow, and I have been invited to join the fun tonight."

Since the incident in the hospital last time, Yan Xiaye and Yan Jiu exchanged mobile phone numbers, allowing them to contact Li Yuntang directly.

Li Yuntang glanced at his quiet mobile phone, his narrow eyes narrowed thoughtfully, making it difficult to distinguish his true emotions: "Do you think Xia Ye will invite me?"

Yan Jiu blinked without embarrassment, thinking of how her second master had settled the matter because of Yin Mo's words at the birthday banquet, and then thinking of the online violence Yan Xiaye had endured these days, he immediately didn't bother to try to figure out the king's heart, and answered very straightforwardly.

:"probably not."

Li Yuntang didn't care about his blunt words and chuckled: "Go ahead, you don't have to say hello to her for me."

Yan Jiu didn't expect that her second master would be so easy to talk to. She took two cautious steps towards the door, then suddenly froze. She turned around and asked, "Second master, that video released by the Yan family against Miss Xia Ye, is it?

Have you seen it?"

"Um."

Yan Jiu took a deep breath, and his sympathy for Yan Xiaye prompted him to muster up the courage and said respectfully: "It doesn't matter if you don't like her. Can you stop raising hopes for Miss Xiaye? I know that if you don't want to see her,

It should be very easy..."

Anyone with a discerning eye can see that Yan Xiaye once considered Li Yuntang as his salvation.

Now, the wedding of Li Yuntang and Yin Mo is about to take place. Such a result must be very cruel to Yan Xiaye.

She never told anyone about her pain, but that didn't mean she didn't feel the pain.

Time passed quietly in silence, and just when Yan Jiu began to regret that he might have offended his immediate boss because of his outspoken words, a magnetic and deep voice sounded in the room.

"Who said I don't like her?"

Yan Jiu was immediately stunned, almost thinking that he heard wrongly: "What did you say..."

Li Yuntang looked at him leisurely, and suddenly raised the corners of his lips in a subtle way: "This is the first time you have come to me to plead for a certain woman. Obviously, you also like her very much."

Yan Jiu suddenly trembled, and quickly buried his head lower, and said cautiously: "Second Master, I do admire Miss Xia Ye, but I have absolutely no wrong thoughts about her..."

Li Yuntang raised his hand to interrupt his explanation, left the sofa and stopped in front of the huge floor-to-ceiling window. Looking up at the starry sky, his dark pupils were shining, and the light and shadow were intertwined and projected on him. He was as handsome as a real person.

"What do you think Xia Ye wants?"

Yan Jiu had never thought about this. After being silent for a long time, she asked tentatively: "If a woman likes a man, doesn't she just want to marry him?"

Li Yuntang smiled and said nothing: "If it were you, after such a marriage, would you still have expectations for marriage? Would you still dare to love another person with all your heart?"

Yan Jiu groaned, seeming to realize something: "What do you mean..."

Li Yuntang slowly took out a cigarette from the platinum cigarette case, held it between his fingertips and played with it slowly.

Rather than explaining to Yan Jiu, it would be better to say that he was clarifying his thoughts.

"The timing of me appearing next to her was too coincidental, and she was too stubborn, so she didn't want to owe anyone a favor. If she didn't, she would keep it in her heart. If she thought too much, she would inevitably be a little tempted by me. This is barely enough.

Like, maybe there are more elements of dependence, but it can't be called love."

"Xia Ye personally decided to take the initiative to verify her identity an hour before the news broke tomorrow. Do you really think that she is as weak and pitiful as you imagined, a woman who can only rely on others to survive? She knows that she only needs a phone call.

, I will naturally solve the problem for her, but she chooses to bear it instead of escaping..."

"Choosing to burn the boat when there is a way out is far more difficult than making a choice when there is no way out. Yan Jiu, among all the women you have ever met, who else has such courage?"

Yan Jiu opened his mouth in shock, not knowing how to answer at all.

He self-righteously sympathized with Yan Xia Ye and pitied her for being a lonely and helpless little girl.

If Li Yuntang hadn't reminded him, he might never have discovered the most valuable thing about her.

Li Yuntang didn't need his answer, "You don't know what she really needs. Maybe she doesn't know it yet, but I know what is best for her."

The lighter clicked lightly, and the fire lit up the man's slender fingers.

He held the flame, bowed his head slightly, and lit the cigarette that had been favored for too long.

There are no emotional fluctuations in the man's words. Reason is greater than emotion. He is always between coolness and affection, as unfathomable as the smoke at his fingertips.

"Even if I don't love her, I'm still willing to give her the best."

…

That night, Yan Jiu left the company early, stepped on the accelerator all the way, and finally arrived before the hot pot boiled.

A table was set up in the studio, and Chu Xinnian and Yin Baiyan got together to discuss which celebrity to hire for endorsement. Yan Xiaye, wearing a bear apron, shuttled between the kitchen and the living room with Qin Yiren, creating a lively scene.

When he heard the doorbell ringing, Little Yunduo jumped up while licking ice cream and waiting to be fed, and ran to open the door happily: "Uncle Yanjiu!"

"Good evening, young master." Yan Jiu took out a piece of imported chocolate from his pocket and handed it over. He looked up amidst the child's polite thanks and happened to see Yan Xiaye walking out with a vegetable basket.

The protagonist he mentioned not long ago appeared in front of him so quickly, and Yan Jiu had mixed feelings in his heart.

While he sympathized with her, didn't he look down on her?

So, when Yan Xiaye invited him to sit down quickly with a look of surprise on his face, Yan Jiu pursed her lips in silence and suddenly said softly: "Miss Xia Ye, I'm sorry."

"Huh?" Yan Xiaye tilted his head and thought for a while, then misunderstood Yan Jiu's meaning and said with a smile: "I didn't plan to invite uncle, and it's not your fault that he didn't come.

, why do you have to apologize to me?"

Seeing that Yan Xiaye was full of energy and seemed not to be affected by the rumors at all, Yan Jiu secretly lamented that his second master looked at people with a cruel look, and smiled bitterly without explaining.
