"Actually, I'm very content, at least I can see you every day now!"

“I’m so happy too, Ah Huai. No matter what happens, I’ll be by your side.”

The fluctuating chatter sounded particularly jarring in the quiet night. Xu Yanshu suddenly opened his eyes, his tightly furrowed brows revealing a restrained anger.

I don't know when Lu Huai sneaked into the master bedroom, but the two of them have been chatting on and off for more than two hours.

He has always been a light sleeper.

"Really? But you're already married, what about him...?"

"Ah Huai! I've told you, you don't need to worry about anyone else!"

Seeing that the neighbors next door showed no sign of backing down, Xu Yanshu could no longer bear it, so she got out of bed and rushed over to open the door. Lu Huai was just coming out of the master bedroom.

"Mr. Xu, you're still awake?" Lu Huai asked, feigning surprise, his gaze towards Xu Yanshu full of provocation. Then, as if belatedly realizing something, he added, "I'm not used to sleeping in the same bed, so I came over to chat with Huan Yu for a while!"

Xu Yanshu's hands, which had been hanging by his sides, suddenly clenched into fists. He said bluntly, "If you really can't get used to it, you can go back to your own home!"

Are you sure?

Lu Huai raised an eyebrow at Xu Yanshu with interest, but before the other party could react, he turned and went back to the master bedroom door, his deep tone as if he had suffered a great injustice.

"Huanyu, I'd better leave. Mr. Xu wants me to leave immediately!"

As soon as she finished speaking, Xie Huanyu rushed out of the room like an arrow. She reached Xu Yanshu and made to raise her hand, but the next second her wrist was firmly held by the man.

"Xie Huanyu, don't forget, you're still a married man,"

"Do you really think it's appropriate to let a strange man come and go in your room like this?" Xu Yanshu asked in a low voice, displeased, his handsome face showing anger.

Lu Huai is no good, and if Xie Huanyu had even a shred of sense, she wouldn't have let Lu Huai push his luck to this extent.

Xie Huanyu instinctively tried to pull her hand back, but the difference in strength between men and women was too great. She retorted irritably,

"Xu Yanshu, don't be so filthy, okay? Ah Huai and I were just chatting."

She hadn't expected Ah Huai to come to the master bedroom to find her. She initially felt it was a bit inappropriate, but seeing that Ah Huai seemed to be suffering from severe insomnia, she decided to chat with him for a while.

But Xu Yanshu's question made it sound as if she and A Huai had done something shameful in the room.

Could it be that in Xu Yanshu's eyes I am really such a dissolute person?

"So, does that mean I can invite my ex-girlfriend over to my house?"

Xie Huanyu's pupils suddenly widened, and her voice rose noticeably, "You dare!!"

Haha, so she actually knows right from wrong.

Xu Yanshu scoffed inwardly before releasing the woman's hand.

Lu Huai then stepped forward, glanced at the woman's wrist, which was red from being pinched, and looked at Xu Yanshu with displeasure.

"Xu Yanshu, aren't you going too far? How could you lay a hand on Huanyu..."

"Forget it, Ah Huai, you can't reason with him," Xie Huanyu reached out and tugged at Lu Huai's sleeve, her mood visibly low. "Since you're not used to living here, then you should go home!"

Should we let him go?

Lu Huai suddenly froze. Shouldn't he have told Xu Yanshu to get out of here immediately?!

After realizing what he meant, he nodded meaningfully, then immediately turned around and strode out.

Xie Huanyu crossed her arms and said coldly, "Are you satisfied now?"

Xu Yanshu was indeed surprised that Xie Huanyu would let Lu Huai leave so directly, but there was no need for her to ask him if he was satisfied, since Xie Huanyu had never considered his feelings.

Oblivious to what was happening, he turned and went back to his room after regaining his senses.

Thud—

Xu Yanshu had just lain down when he heard a loud slam of the door. He raised an eyebrow noncommittally.

Xie Huanyu probably thought that letting Lu Huai leave was already a huge favor to her, but she didn't expect him to be so ungrateful, so the young lady's temper flared up again.

He gave a nonchalant smirk; some things came too late…

——

Looking at the rejected resignation letter, Xu Yanshu frowned in distress.

He could simply walk away, but that would ruin his reputation, making it difficult for him to make it in this industry again.

"Manager Xu, President Xie has decided to cooperate with Lu's Enterprise on a new energy project. Please prepare the contract as soon as possible."

What?

Xu Yanshu suddenly raised his head, almost laughing in anger. Xie Huanyu really did come up with something unexpected.

After a moment's thought, he resolutely got up and walked outside.

The new energy project was a key project that they had worked hard to secure, and he and his staff worked overtime for several months to complete the preliminary preparations.

She's just about to put the bid out to the public, and she's already so hastily decided to give it to the Lu family?

The door to the president's office was ajar. Xu Yanshu knocked as usual and went in, only to find Xie Huanyu standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling window making a phone call.

"Uncle Lu, what are you saying? We're all on the same side. I'll have someone send the contract to you later!"

So, they're treating the project like a favor, giving it away?!

The fawning tone almost made Xu Yanshu laugh in anger. He tugged at his tie, and the veins on his forehead bulged one after another.

Not to mention that Lu's Company is simply not large enough to handle such a large project, and has recently been suffering continuous losses, Xie Huanyu still dared to choose to cooperate with them under these circumstances...

"Uncle Lu, you can't force a relationship. Since Ah Huai doesn't want to go on a blind date, don't force him!"

So that's how it is!

Xu Yanshu suddenly realized why Xie Huanyu had suddenly decided to cooperate with the Lu family; it turned out that her real intention was not what she thought.

After hanging up the phone, Xie Huanyu turned around slowly and was startled to see Xu Yanshu's gloomy face.

She patted her chest, still shaken, and then said with dissatisfaction,

"Xu Yanshu, what are you trying to do? Don't you know how to knock before coming in?!"

Waving his hand impatiently, Xu Yanshu cut to the chase and asked, "Do you know how important new energy is to the company? And I was in charge of it all the time in the early stages. How could you give it to the Lu family so hastily?"

"Don't you know what kind of situation their company is in right now?"

Xie Huanyu had anticipated that the man might object to her decision, but she hadn't expected Xu Yanshu to rush into her office and question her directly. Her pretty face immediately turned cold.

She sat back down at her desk and said slowly, "Isn't this cleaning up your mess? Who told you not to apologize to Ah Huai?"

Because she didn't apologize, she just let a major project worth hundreds of millions of dollars be handed over?!

hehe!

Xu Yanshu couldn't help but chuckle softly, then looked at the woman with a probing gaze, "Are you here to clean up my mess or are you just eager to curry favor with the Lu family?"
