Chapter 142 I Won’t Agree to Break Up

Outside the office, Gu Zhiyuan covered his heart which was about to jump out of his chest, took a deep breath, and stayed calm.

The strategy for pursuing someone says that if being persistent doesn't work, try physical contact.

For a man like this who has no emotional experience and is as innocent as a blank sheet of paper, you need to use some stimulation to break through his psychological defenses and past cognition and give him a strong dose of medicine.

She originally wanted to kiss him directly on the mouth, but she didn't dare.

She stood outside the door, her little face flushed slightly, and she kissed Shen Xu until he turned pale.

How is this not a huge leap?

She couldn't wait to take out her cell phone and share the good news in the group.

Yuanyuan: [Sisters are awesome!]

Wanwan: [(thumbs up)(thumbs up)(thumbs up)]

[However, what will Mr. Shen's reaction be? Will this backfire?]

Zhizhi: [I ran away after kissing him, and didn’t see his reaction]

[Who cares? Kissing is a win! ]

Yuanyuan: [prostrated.jpg]

Wanwan: [With this mindset, you will succeed in everything you do]

Gu Zhiyuan replied a few more times, then happily put away her phone and left humming a little tune.

The employees in the president's office looked at Gu Zhiyuan standing at the office door with red cheeks, muttering a few words to himself, and then skipping away.

He looks in a good mood.

In the office, Shen Xubai sat at the table, leaning back in his chair, his eyes closed, his brows furrowed.

The warm and soft touch on my cheek seemed to still be there, and the faint fragrance of the little girl was still lingering in the air beside me.

He gripped the handrail, his bony fingers unconsciously exerting force, meridians emerging on his cold white skin, and his pink fingertips turned white due to the force.

My mind is in a mess and cannot be solved by reason or logic.

He slowly opened his eyes when Luo Yan came in to bring him lunch. The emotions in his eyes completely faded, and he looked calm and reserved again.

When Luo Yan finished setting the table and left, he suddenly spoke, his clear voice echoing in the room:

"Next time she comes, don't let her into my office."

Luo Yan was stunned for two seconds before realizing that Shen Xubai was talking about Gu Zhiyuan. He spoke cautiously, "What about the Madam..."

"I will explain it to her myself."

"yes."

Luo Yan retreated, and the moment he closed the door, he showed a puzzled expression.

Miss Gu looked very happy when she left, and he thought there was progress.

Moreover, if he saw it correctly just now, Mr. Shen's ears seemed to be red?

…

On the other side, after landing in South City, Cen Wan went straight back to No. 1 Mansion.

She has been working overtime these days, but fortunately everything is almost done and she can come back first.

On the way, she kept thinking about how to have a good chat with Shen Yixiao. There was no one at home, and Shen Yixiao should be at the company at this time. She took a shower, changed clothes, and took a taxi to Xingchen.

Arriving at the bottom of Xingchen Building, she looked at the tall building, feeling a little dazed. It seemed like she had only been working here a while ago, but it felt like a long time had passed.

She went to the front desk to register. When the receptionist saw her, she led her directly into the president's exclusive elevator with an extremely respectful attitude.

Cen Wan knew that it was probably Chen Yu who greeted her.

As soon as she got out of the elevator, she ran into Chen Yu, who seemed to be waiting for her there.

"Is Chen Yixiao in the office?" she asked straight to the point.

Chen Yu was like seeing a savior. He took two steps forward excitedly, then immediately stepped back: "Yes."

After returning from City G, Shen Yixiao had been living directly at the company. He had never smiled, and his expression was sullen and gloomy every day. Everyone seemed to be under a dark cloud, cautious and afraid to make any mistakes.

Now that Miss Cen is back, Mr. Shen should be in a better mood.

Cen Wan nodded, walked out two steps, then turned back and asked, "Were all the messages you sent me replied by Shen Yixiao himself?"

Chen Yu considered his words and lowered his head: "Boss Shen looked at me and sent it."

The day after Shen Yixiao returned to Nancheng, she took the initiative to send him a message, but he didn't reply.

A few minutes later, she received a message from Chen Yu, explaining Shen Yixiao's whereabouts and situation.

This continued for the next few days. She would send him messages but he wouldn't reply, but after a few minutes Chen Yu would reply indirectly.

She didn't know what he was trying to do, so she just came and asked him directly.

Chen Yu was also uncomfortable. Every time Shen Yixiao stared at him when he replied to Miss Cen, his eyes were as sharp as a knife, and his hands were shaking when he typed.

The two of them quarreled and had a conflict, but he was the one who suffered.

He had been waiting for a long time, and finally Cen Wan came back.

If he continues like this, he will have a heart attack sooner or later.

Cen Wan stood at the door of Shen Yixiao's office, raised her hand and knocked on the door. After hearing the response from inside, she pushed the door open and went in.

Chen Yu stood at the door and breathed a long sigh of relief. He finally didn't have to live in agony anymore.

-

In the office, Shen Yixiao leaned on the sofa, his long legs spread out, his head tilted back slightly, and his eyes closed as he rested.

Hearing the noise, he raised his hand and pressed his brow, his voice cold and a little hoarse: "What's the matter?"

After a while, when he didn't hear a reply, he raised his eyelids impatiently.

When he saw the person standing in front of him, he suddenly froze, and a trace of panic flashed in his eyes.

"Wanwan, when did you come back? Why didn't you let me pick you up?"

Cen Wan looked at him expressionlessly: "You didn't even reply to my messages. I was afraid I'd be kicked out if I came to see you."

"How is that possible? I..." Shen Yixiao paused, stood up and made room, "You sit first."

Cen Wan looked at him and asked bluntly, "Why are you avoiding me? Why aren't you replying to my messages?"

"…I've been too busy lately."

"So busy that you don't even have time to reply to a message?"

Shen Yixiao pursed his thin lips, his jawline tense, and said nothing.

Cen Wan took a deep breath, sat down on the sofa, and said softly: "Chen Yixiao, let's talk."

"What to talk about?" Shen Yixiao avoided her gaze and deliberately avoided the topic.

Cen Wan frowned, her breath caught, and her fingertips shrank slightly: "Let's talk about the past."

Shen Yixiao clenched his hands at his sides little by little, his voice low and hoarse, and he closed his eyes: "There's nothing to talk about. I won't agree to break up."

"Don't even think about it!" His tone gradually became heavier.

"I didn't think..." Cen Wan was suddenly stunned, with a hint of surprise in her eyes.

She raised her eyes to look at Shen Yixiao. He stood straight, his muscles tense and his profile sharp.

It's like a fully drawn bow that can break at any time.

So, this is why he has been hiding from me?

When she thought of this possibility, her heart suddenly ached, as if it was entangled by thin iron chains, causing a dull pain.

The sourness and suffocation were about to overwhelm her.

She stood up and walked step by step to Shen Yixiao. Seeing the fatigue and tension between his brows, her nose felt sore.

Suddenly she reached out and hugged him.

Shen Yixiao's pupils shrank and his body froze, and then he heard Cen Wan's soft voice.

"You ignored me these past few days. I missed you so much."
