In the Lu Enterprises.
Lin Zhixia had heard of Lu Enterprises. Those who came in and went out of here could not be underestimated, no matter how ordinary they looked on the surface.
When she heard that Shen Yuechuan was working here, she could not hide her reverence at all.
Later, she learned that Shen Yuechuan was the special assistant of Lu Boyan. It was said that he had the same power as the vice president in Lu Enterprises.
Shen Yuechuan was the one who had the most say in the Lu Enterprises other than Lu Boyan.
She, Lin Zhixia, should date such an outstanding person.
After getting off the car, Lin Zhixia walked straight into the Lu Enterprises but was stopped by the receptionist. She had to explain the purpose of her visit. “I’m here to find Yuechuan.”
“Are you looking for Special Assistant Shen?” The receptionist showed a professional smile. “Sorry, you’re not allowed to go up.”
Lin Zhixia was very surprised.
However, she had a good upbringing, so she was not angry but asked patiently instead, “Can I know why?”
The receptionist said as if she was reciting lines, “Special Assistant Shen is hosting an important meeting. He specially ordered that no one is allowed to disturb him, unless…”
Lin Zhixia looked at the receptionist with a pair of clear, inoffensive and innocent eyes and asked, “Unless what?”
“Unless it’s someone he’s very familiar with, such as Boss Lu.” The receptionist kept a decent smile on her face and made a routine inquiry. “Miss, what’s your relationship with Special Assistant Shen?”
It seemed to be a routine inquiry, but in fact, the receptionist was making things difficult for Lin Zhixia.
Lin Zhixia also knew that, but she was not angry at all. She calmly said, “I’m his girlfriend.”
The receptionist slightly responded with an “oh” and said, “From time to time, someone claims to be Special Assistant Shen’s girlfriend and wants to go up to him. Miss, we haven’t heard that Special Assistant Shen has a new girlfriend recently. So, you can contact Special Assistant Shen yourself, and I will let you go up as soon as I receive the call, or you just wait for him here.”
Considering that Shen Yuechuan was at work, Lin Zhixia didn’t dare to disturb him, so she chose the latter.
Without being impolite, the receptionist asked someone to serve Lin Zhixia a glass of lemon water.
Lin Zhixia took it with both hands and politely thanked the female administrative staff who served her the water.
The female staff walked to the receptionist and said in a low voice, “This girl looks good. She talks and acts pleasingly. Maybe she really is Special Assistant Shen’s girlfriend.”
“I’ve been working for the Lu Enterprises for so many years, and I’ve seen and experienced so much!” The receptionist said slowly, “This girl may be Special Assistant Shen’s girlfriend, but Special Assistant Shen has had so many girlfriends in the past. In fact, it depends on her significance in Special Assistant Shen’s heart!”
For Shen Yuechuan, the title of “girlfriend” was like a game. It did not matter which girl this title belonged to, as long as he had an appetite for the girl’s appearance. Anyway, he was not serious.
Shen Yuechuan would put in a lot of effort and time to take care of the people he really cared about. But Lin was not one of those people, and she didn’t dare to contact Shen Yuechuan when she came here.
As soon as the receptionist finished speaking, with a “ding”, the president’s special elevator opened and Shen Yuechuan walked out.
Shen Yuechuan strode as if he was in a hurry. He looked straight ahead and went straight to the gate of the company.
Lin Zhixia had never seen Shen Yuechuan like this before, but she still greeted him with a smile.
Shen Yuechuan didn’t notice Lin Zhixia at all. He walked past her without hesitation.
Lin Zhixia was stunned and stood on the same spot in a daze. She could still feel the breeze brought by Shen Yuechuan when he walked past her.
She looked at Shen Yuechuan’s back and hesitantly called him in a low voice, “Yuechuan.”
Shen Yuechuan looked back and frowned slightly. “Zhixia, why are you here?”
“I asked the driver to drive me here.” Lin Zhixia walked up to Shen Yuechuan with a smile and took his hand. “I want to get off work with you.”
“Sorry.” Shen Yuechuan pushed her hand away. “Something happened to Yunyun. I have to rush to deal with it.”
Before Lin Zhixia could say anything, Shen Yuechuan had called the receptionist and ordered, “Ask the driver to send Miss Lin back.”
The receptionist hurriedly answered, “Okay!”
“Yunyun…”
Lin Zhixia wanted to ask what had happened to Xiao Yunyun, but Shen Yuechuan couldn’t hear her at all. In the blink of an eye, he walked out of the company and got into his car.
The Land Rover took advantage of its excellent performance and disappeared from Lin Zhixia’s sight in an instant.
Lin Zhixia tried hard to control her expression so that she wouldn’t show any disappointment.
It didn’t matter if Shen Yuechuan heard her just now. He looked as if he wouldn’t turn back even if the sky was falling down.
Xiao Yunyun took up a larger proportion in Shen Yuechuan’s heart, didn’t she?
Lin Zhixia could understand. Xiao Yunyun was his sister, so it was natural for Shen Yuechuan to care about his sister. What’s more, something had happened to Xiao Yunyun. As Shen Yuechuan’s girlfriend, she couldn’t stop him from looking for Xiao Yunyun.
Otherwise, according to Shen Yuechuan’s usual style, she would soon become his ex-girlfriend.
The receptionist touched the female staff’s arm. “See? In Special Assistant Shen’s heart, this girl is not as important as Miss Xiao. I didn’t let her go up, which was completely the right choice.”
The female staff was confused. “If you let her go up, will Special Assistant Shen be angry?”
“It’s not like that. This girl does carry weight in Special Assistant Shen’s heart.” The receptionist had evidence. “However, if I let her go up, I’ll fail in my duty. The leader will have a bad impression of me. I’m not willing to do that!”
After that, the receptionist walked to Lin Zhixia and said in a business-like manner, “Miss Lin, please wait a moment. I’ll arrange for the company’s driver to send you home right away.”
“No, thank you.” Lin Zhixia maintained a polite smile. “I’ll just take a taxi myself.”
For safety’s sake, the receptionist accompanied Lin Zhixia to take a taxi.
It was the financial center here. Except for the high-rise buildings that reached into the clouds, cars were the most common thing.
Lin Zhixia looked around the endless road, but she couldn’t find Shen Yuechuan’s car.
She could not be informed of what had happened to Xiao Yunyun, but where had Shen Yuechuan gone?
Just now, was Shen Yuechuan in such a hurry that he didn’t even have time to tell her where he was going?
Dui Fang was sending Xiao Yunyun back to her apartment. Naturally, Shen Yuechuan’s destination was also Xiao Yunyun’s apartment.
Xiao Yunyun didn’t feel scared until she got in Dui Fang’s car.
In such a big city, someone dared to lay a finger on her in broad daylight at the entrance of the subway, which was bustling with people.
If Dui Fang had not saved her, she would have definitely been taken away.
She did not dare to imagine what would happen next.
Dui Fang noticed that Xiao Yunyun was huddling herself up. He guessed that she was afraid, so he talked to her in an attempt to distract her. “What are you thinking about?”
Xiao Yunyun said, “I think that I would rather those people be business rivals of my cousin-in-law or cousin.”
Dui Fang was very curious. “Is there any difference between human traffickers or Mr. Lu’s business rivals?”
“Of course.” Xiao Yunyun put her chin on her knees and said, “If they’re the latter, they will only aim for me. Thus, other girls walking alone on the road like me will not be in danger. But if they are human traffickers, they will aim for other girls too…”
She met Dui Fang, so she was able to escape.
However, what about other girls who were left behind? Was there anyone like Dui Fang who could save them?
Dui Fang glanced at Xiao Yunyun in the rearview mirror and said with a smile, “You surprise me.”
He had been tailing Xiao Yunyun for some time, so he could inform Shen Yuechuan that she was in danger today and save her in time.
He had also long known Xiao Yunyun’s living habits. Xiao Yunyun was a girl who was enthusiastic about work and loved life very much but she was careless and broad-minded.
Such a girl, however, was undemonstratively thoughtful and kind-hearted.
As he thought about it, the car had already arrived at Xiao Yunyun’s apartment. Dui Fang stopped the car and reminded her, “We’re here.”
Xiao Yunyun pushed the door open and got off the car. Only then did she realize that her legs were a little weak. She almost couldn’t stand still, let alone walk.
She held the car behind her to support herself. Then she saw Shen Yuechuan striding toward her.
With only one glance, she could no longer look away from Shen Yuechuan.
When she was besieged by vexatious family members of the patients, when she was bullied by Zhong Lue in the hotel, when she was stopped by those dudes at the back door of MiTime… it was Shen Yuechuan who came to her rescue.
No matter how much she argued with Shen Yuechuan in normal times, he was always a person who could give her a sense of security in her heart.
As long as he was with her, she was not afraid of anything.
She knew that Shen Yuechuan would certainly protect her.
Seeing Shen Yuechuan coming over, Xiao Yunyun suddenly couldn’t control her weakness and grievance. Her eyes turned red, and her tears streamed down her face.
Shen Yuechuan was used to Xiao Yunyun’s mischievous look. When he saw her tears, he couldn’t help but feel a sharp pain in his heart.
Perhaps because he was affected by Xiao Yunyun’s tears, his mind could not be able to control his movements, and he reached out to hold Xiao Yunyun in his arms.
Xiao Yunyun finally couldn’t control herself anymore and cried out, “Shen Yuechuan…”
“It’s fine.” Shen Yuechuan hugged Xiao Yunyun harder. “Don’t be afraid. I’m here. You’re fine.”
Xiao Yunyun forgot how long she hadn’t been so close to Shen Yuechuan. She couldn’t tell what she was wronged about.
She only knew that she wanted to cry wildly in Shen Yuechuan’s arms.
Shen Yuechuan only knew that she had a narrow escape from the kidnappers today, but he didn’t know her real pain.
She liked him and wanted to be with him. She didn’t want to see him be so considerate to Lin Zhixia…
How could she tell Shen Yuechuan about her grievances?
In the end, Xiao Yunyun kept sobbing and couldn’t complete a sentence.
Shen Yuechuan took the handkerchief handed over by Dui Fang and wiped the tears on Xiao Yunyun’s face. “Don’t cry. Go back first.”
Xiao Yunyun looked at Shen Yuechuan with tears, which amplified the lingering uneasiness and fear in her eyes. She grabbed Shen Yuechuan’s sleeves hard and was obviously unwilling to go upstairs.
Shen Yuechuan tried to restrain his impulse but he failed. He said in a low voice, “Don’t be afraid. I’ll keep you company.”
