sides her and Gu Xiao to know, let alone someone reporting it to the police. So who was that person outside“Help! Help me! Save me!” Seizing the opportunity while they were stunned, Su Ke Xin mustered...Lastly, he heard her say, "I hope you're well."

Zhao Yino buried her head deeply in his chest, listening to his powerful heartbeat: “The burden that belongs to you is too great, I am willing to share it with you.”

Shen Jue's office.

A stack of newspapers was thrown haphazardly on his desk. Ling Chen, whose face was usually gentle, had a hint of anger: "What are you doing"

Shen Jue merely glanced disdainfully at the newspaper content. He skimmed it, catching a few keywords: "Gu Group acquisition crisis averted, stock price gradually stabilizing..."

"What are you worried about I've only slowed down the acquisition pace, I haven't abandoned the plan. As for the stock price..." Shen Jue shifted his gaze from the phone screen back to the newspaper, then back to his phone: "It's just stabilizing at a low point, is that something to be so proud of"

Ling Chen's anger on his face didn't subside: "What I want to ask is, why did you put your plan on hold"

“My…” Shen Jue muttered these two words, he raised an eyebrow at Ling Chen: “Because I suddenly feel that making her happy is more pleasing to me than making her suffer.”

Ling Chen's anger morphed into an incomprehensible confusion. He tilted his head: "Her The one who rejected your proposal"

Shen Jue's heart tightened. Even though he and Ling Chen were best friends, he had never mentioned Shangguan Nana to him, including the fact that he had been rejected by her. He had always kept this humiliating secret from Ling Chen.

How did you know

Ling Chen smiled: "You said it yourself while you were asleep."

Sleep He had actually dozed off in the office a few times recently. Was he still thinking about it even during such short breaks And did he even say it as a dream

"I think your secret plans, the ones you keep hidden from everyone, have something to do with this, don't they"

As intelligent as Ling Chen, he immediately guessed that when he was talking in his sleep, he wouldn't say Shangguan Nana's name together, would he

Ling Chen pursed his lips and smiled, "Don't worry, you didn't tell me who it was. Although I don't know anything, I can guess more or less."

Shen Jue supported her chin with her right hand and tapped lightly on the newspaper with her left: "As always, you understand me best."

After all, we've known each other for over a decade. Back then, I never imagined that I would rely on this kid who followed behind me to accomplish what I wanted to do now. Ling Chen leaned against the chair in front of Shen Jue, with a gentlemanly air about him.

Shen Jue's left hand tapped a little faster: "It's not that bad. Everyone has their strengths and weaknesses. I just do what I like, unlike you, who are well-rounded in every aspect - intelligence, morality, physical fitness, beauty, and labor."

Ling Chen sighed, "What's so great about it It's just that when I was a child, I became someone else's talking point, and as I grew up, I drifted further and further away from my original intention of becoming a doctor."

Shen Jue lazily leaned back on the chair and stretched, "Who told you to fall for a woman who wouldn't be with you."

He was stretching lazily when suddenly his shoulder shot a sharp pain. He groaned and dropped his arm, Ling Chen asked puzzledly, "What's wrong Are you uncomfortable"

"No, I was kicked a few days ago." Shen Jue said lightly, as if she didn't care.

Lingchen found the facade he'd put on, acting like nothing was wrong and he didn't care, quite amusing: "There are still people who dare to kick a black belt in taekwondo You're hurt, so that person must be disabled."

Shenjue clasped her hands together: "Thank you, brother, for thinking so highly of me. Let me tell you, that person is a black belt in taekwondo who's even more skilled than I am."

"So you went to participate in the competition, then Did you beat him" Ling Chen's mood was much lighter now, and his tone was much gentler than before.

"Heh, joking Who do you think I am Someone who lets someone hurt me walk away scot-free I'll make sure he loses an arm before we're done..."han Mao was extremely unwilling, he still arrived at the location Gu Wang had told him the day before. After all, this was a "mission" given to him by Gu Wang.After arriving at the restaurant, Mountai...
