“MHM, alright,”Xia Shangzhou replied. He wanted to say ‘Goodnight’, but he felt that these two words seemed to be too intimate and over-the-top. In the end, he forcefully swallowed them back into his stomach, instead, he said, “CEO Lin, Goodbye.”

“Goodbye,”Lin Jiayi said before hanging up the phone.

Xia Shangzhou listened to the beeping sound of the phone being hung up. After a long while, he took his phone down from his ear.

He first searched for the location of the Beijing Grand Hotel and sent it to Qin before sending him a message: “Is it alright here at 6:30 pm tomorrow?”

After receiving Qin’s ‘Yes’, Xia Shangzhou called the manager of the Beijing Grand Hotel and relayed all of Lin Jiayi’s requests. Only then did he leave his phone on the passenger seat beside him.

It was already very late, and he had already taken care of everything that she had instructed him to do, but he had no intention of driving home.

He leaned against the back of the car and sat there for a long time. Then, he rolled down the window and lit up a cigarette. After taking a puff, he choked so hard that he started coughing violently.

In fact, he used to smoke when he was still in university. Later on, when she said that she couldn’t stand the smell of cigarettes, she gave up smoking.

Occasionally, he would feel depressed and want to smoke a little, but it seemed that… the cigarettes today were not the cigarettes of his university days. Once he smoked to relieve his worries… when his cough stopped.., xia Shangzhou did not smoke a second time. Instead, he put out the cigarette and threw it into the trash can.

In fact, he did not need to feel so bad, did he?

He had long known that she wouldn’t belong to him. She was a proud daughter of heaven, and only a dragon among men could be worthy of her… As for him, after graduating, he had endured for five years, but he had just paid a down payment in Beijing, he had bought a small apartment that wasn’t even as big as her bedroom.

Everyone knew that the princess might not be with the prince, but she would be with a knight. But he… He wasn’t even a knight, let alone a prince, at most, he was just a guard by the princess’side… Such a gap was something that he could never cross in his life.

Now that Qin was back, Qin, whom she had been thinking about for so long, was back. It was pretty good… anyway, she could not be single for her whole life. Instead of marrying someone for the sake of marriage, it would be better to be with the person she truly liked… then she would live a very happy life. Wasn’t this the ending that he had hoped for?

While Xia Shangzhou was in a daze, the phone he had thrown in the passenger seat suddenly rang.

He glanced at the caller ID, he picked up. “CEO Zhang… is back in Beijing on a business trip? This weekend? That’s fine… but I can’t guarantee it. You know what’s going on with me. I might have to work overtime on the weekend… Haha, isn’t the matter of me jumping ship already over? “Why are you always teasing me when you have nothing to do… Okay, okay, I’ll talk to you on the weekend.”

President Zhang was the one who frequently jumped ship four years ago. In the end, he didn’t jump ship. Instead, the two of them became good friends. Occasionally on the weekend, President Zhang would invite him to chat and have afternoon tea or something.

When he called just now, it was because he wanted to have coffee with him on the weekend. He said that when he worked overtime on the weekend, President Zhang would laugh at him. It would have been great if he had jumped ship and come to his company as an executive. He could fish in troubled waters at any time, and he even laughed at him, he really had a long-term love for the Lin Corporation..

Everyone thought that he was in love with the LIN Corporation, but they did not know that he was only in love with one person in the LIN Corporation.

It was a pity that the person he liked was the one she liked.
