Chapter 207 Can you give me another chance?

Everyone in the secretariat knew about the conflict between Gu Zhiyuan and Shen Xubai.

Everyone feels the president's low pressure every day and is very cautious, fearing that they might do something wrong and make him unhappy.

Luo Yan was the primary victim. He faced Shen Xubai directly every day, trembling with fear. He suspected that he would have a heart attack if he continued like this.

Fortunately, the company has been very busy these two days. We have to receive an important client and have been so busy that we have no chance to be distracted and think about other things.

There was a dinner party in the evening, and Shen Xubai drank some wine. Luo Yan sent him back to the villa. On the way back, he met Gu Zhiyuan.

She was walking her dog, and they stopped by the roadside.

Luo Yan caught a glimpse of her out of the corner of his eye, and immediately backed up, parked the car aside, got out and walked straight towards her.

Gu Zhiyuan was watching Haoyunlai having fun on the lawn, when he suddenly felt a figure walking towards him aggressively out of the corner of his eye.

She turned around and saw Luo Yan walking towards her with a serious face.

"Luo Zhu..."

Luo Yan mustered up his courage and looked at her with a fearless expression: "Miss Gu, can you give me a few minutes?"

"Something? If it's related to Shen Xubai, you don't have to tell me."

Luo Yan pleaded, "Miss Gu, it will be quick. It won't take you too long."

He was with Shen Xubai every day, and he probably knew something about their relationship. He was puzzled as he saw that things were about to get better, but they suddenly broke up.

For the sake of his own personal safety, he had been thinking about what had happened before these days, and finally figured something out.

However, he could only tell Gu Zhiyuan what he knew, and they had to solve the rest themselves.

He just hoped that the two of them would reconcile quickly so that he wouldn't have to be the chief assistant with his tail between his legs every day.

…

In the villa, only a warm-colored chandelier was on. Shen Xubai leaned on the sofa, resting with his eyes closed.

He raised his hand and rubbed his temples, looking a little tired.

He has been receiving big clients from abroad these past two days and discussing future cooperation matters. His daily schedule is very full and he has almost no time to rest.

He hadn't seen Gu Zhiyuan for several days since the last unpleasant encounter in the restaurant, and he hadn't even met her by chance at the lake.

He had just thought it through and planned to go find her after he was done with his work these few days.

When he received Gu Zhiyuan's call, he was stunned for a moment, his heartbeat suddenly irregular, and before he could come to his senses, he had already picked up the phone: "Hello..."

His voice was a little hoarse and he sounded a little tired, but Gu Zhiyuan didn't notice. She asked straight to the point, "Did you hear what I said to Zhuang Siyi that day? On the day of the auction?"

Hearing her mention what happened that day, Shen Xubai's eyes darkened and he paused: "Yeah."

Gu Zhiyuan spoke quickly: "My relationship with her is delicate, and I don't want her to interfere and cause trouble. Everything I said was a lie to her."

"I've been serious about you from the beginning. I never thought you were boring, nor did I think of using you for entertainment. Every word I said to you before came from the heart."

Shen Xubai's pupils suddenly shrank.

Although he had tried his best to forget what he had said that day and had figured it out, no matter what her original intention was, since he had already fallen in love with her, he would not give her a chance to escape.

Even if it was fake, he would make it real.

But when I heard her say this, it was as if the thorn in my heart was suddenly pulled out, and the last trace of worry disappeared without a trace.

"I……"

Before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by Gu Zhiyuan: "I don't mean any other by telling you this. I just don't want my feelings to be misunderstood."

"I am a man of integrity and I won't play with other people's feelings."

"I'm done, that's it."

"Wait!" Realizing that the other party was about to hang up, Shen Xubai quickly stopped her, "I have something to say too."

He spoke slowly, his voice slightly hoarse: “I did misunderstand you after hearing those words, so I said those words, and I’m sorry for making you sad.

Gu Zhiyuan: "It's okay. I'm not sad anymore. It's all in the past."

"There is no past." Shen Xubai said.

"At least for me, there is no past, and there is no way to get over it."

Gu Zhiyuan was slightly startled, and the fingers holding the phone tightened a little bit: "What do you mean?"

Shen Xubai said slowly: "What if I say that I regret it?"

"I've regretted it ever since I said those hurtful words."

Shen Xubai looked at the empty living room. He had never felt that the night was so quiet and scary before, and he was used to being alone.

But she broke into his life, infiltrated into his life in an unexpected way, and was everywhere.

She was like a ray of sunshine, bright and lively. Without her, he actually felt that his daily life had become boring and unbearable.

Gu Zhiyuan bit her lip, reminding herself not to be sentimental or soft-hearted. She said calmly, "And then?"

Shen Xubai straightened his back, pursed his thin lips, paused for two seconds, and said in a hoarse voice: "Can you give me another chance?"
