She chatted with Xuan Sheng about Feng Wuyou and discussed the opening ceremony of the Moon Bay project with him.

“I’ll go over and keep an eye on the opening tomorrow. Don’t worry, you can just go over when the time comes.” Xuan Sheng sat upright on the sofa with a gentle expression.

“Okay, then it’s been hard on you.” Xia Wanyuan took a sip of tea.

“Why are you so polite?” Xuan Sheng took the teapot and poured another cup for Xia Wanyuan. “You’re attending the exchange, right?”

“Mm.”

“I won’t go then. I’ll go to Linxi to help supervise the work.” Xuan Sheng held a small spoon and carefully removed the tea leaves that were still floating on the water before pushing the cup to Xia Wanyuan.

Looking at the tea leaves that had been removed, Xia Wanyuan’s eyes flickered and she sighed softly in her heart.

She had already told Xuan Sheng what she needed to say. It was useless for her to say anything now.

“Unhappy?” Seeing Xia Wanyuan’s slight frown, Xuan Sheng asked carefully, “Did I offend you?

Xia Wanyuan shook her head. “You don’t have to be so careful in front of me.”

Looking at Xuan Sheng, who was sitting upright and carefully in front of her, Xia Wanyuan recalled the first time she had seen Xuan Sheng.

At that time, she had just arrived in the modern world and was wandering the streets alone. Xuan Sheng said, “Miss, be careful.” She turned around and saw that pair of amorous and arrogant eyes.

Xuan Sheng’s peach blossom eyes were filled with a smile. The black diamond earrings shone faintly under the street lights.

At that time, the impression Xuan Sheng gave Xia Wanyuan was that he was a man like the wind.

However, now, this wind was held back.

Xia Wanyuan’s expression was too obvious. Xuan Sheng also thought of his past self. He laughed at himself. “Do you think that the current me is especially boring?”

Xuan Sheng also knew that a woman would not like a man who was careful and timid in front of her, but knowing this principle was one thing. When Xia Wanyuan really appeared in front of him, it was another.

Xia Wanyuan’s every move would affect his thoughts. He was afraid that he would offend Xia Wanyuan, but he could not help but want to interact with her for a while more. Under such a pull, he did not know how careful he had become.

Xia Wanyuan shook her head. “You’re quite good now.”

Xuan Sheng smiled. “If you praise me, you can at least make me happy for a year.”

Xia Wanyuan smiled at Xuan Sheng. “Then go ahead. I have other things to do.”

“Okay.” Xuan Sheng stood up and personally sent Xia Wanyuan out.

“If there’s anything next time, you’re welcome to look for me again.” Looking at Xia Wanyuan’s side profile, Xuan Sheng’s eyes were warm.

The assistant was almost stunned. He had never known that the depression on Xuan Sheng could completely disappear. It was as if in front of Xia Wanyuan, he had stripped off all his disguise and offered his warmest self.

“Mm, okay.” Xia Wanyuan nodded at Xuan Sheng, then turned to get into the car.

The moment Xia Wanyuan stepped into the car, Xuan Sheng acutely heard a soft beep. Xia Wanyuan heard it too.

“Don’t move.” Xuan Sheng stopped Xia Wanyuan, then squatted on the ground and glanced under the car. Then, his expression changed.
