Hearing that I was fine, Lu Zhiyuan was obviously relieved.

But soon, he began to persuade me with concern: "I thought about it when I came back. Even though the people on 'Mr.' ...

Lu Zhiyuan was so busy that he didn't even have time to check his phone, but he was still concerned about my safety, which touched me.

I forced a smile and comforted him in a relaxed tone: "You don't have to worry about me. Mingyuan has hired a professional bodyguard for me. I can guarantee my own safety now."

Lu Zhiyuan paused and agreed, "That's good."

"Yeah." I responded, but I didn't know what to say to him.

Lu Zhiyuan was also silent for a moment. The atmosphere was a little subtle and we could clearly hear each other's breathing.

My throat choked. I wanted to tell him to be careful, but what came out of my mouth was -

"Nothing else, I'll hang up."

As soon as he finished speaking, he heard Lu Zhiyuan shout anxiously: "Wait a minute!"

The phone I had placed against my ear didn't budge at all.

Lu Zhiyuan suddenly said seriously: "Xiao Shan, everything I said to you in the hospital before is still valid."

I was stunned for a moment.

He said a lot in the hospital. What did he mean by "counting"?

Without my asking, Lu Zhiyuan took the initiative to explain: "I said that as long as you are willing, I will protect you wholeheartedly. It is the same now and in the future. No matter when, as long as you think it through and are willing to come back to me, I will always wait for you."

This heartfelt confession stirred up waves in my heart. For a moment, I didn't know how to answer him, let alone how to explain my concerns to him.

Lu Zhiyuan took the initiative to help me out: "It's okay, don't worry, take your time to think about it, I'll be waiting for your answer at any time."

After he finished speaking, Lu Zhiyuan hung up the phone, which made me feel inexplicably empty.

I shook my head, not wanting to dwell on Lu Zhiyuan, and shifted my focus to work.

When I got off work, I saw Fang Guoxu had just changed his clothes and was about to go home, so I called him.

"Fang Guoxu!"

Fang Guoxu paused, turned around and saw me, a little surprised, but more confused.

"Chairman, what do you want to talk to me about?"

Ever since the rumor that Fang Guoxu joined Huake because of my relationship started circulating in the company, Fang Guoxu has been deliberately avoiding me and calling me "Chairman" in the company.

I smiled and said to him, "It's time to get off work now. You don't have to be so polite. Just call me by my name."

Fang Guoxu was still a little embarrassed and just smiled at me.

At this time, the driver Li Tao drove the car in front of me. I opened the back door and urged Fang Guoxu: "Get in the car, I'll go back with you."

Fang Guoxu looked at me unexpectedly, "You want to go home with me?"

I looked at him helplessly and corrected him, "That's my sister's home too. I haven't been back to see her for a long time. I'd like to go over and try her cooking."

Upon hearing this, Fang Guoxu smiled: "Your sister is looking forward to your visit! She must be very happy."

Li Tao drove me to Lan Feng's residence, and Fang Guoxu had no doubt about my purpose.

But my going to Lan Feng's house for dinner was fake. The real reason was to ask Li Tao to go over and secretly keep an eye on the safety of Lan Feng's family.

I'm afraid that Sister S will target Lan Feng. She and Lan Xiaoyu are both innocent and should not be implicated by me.
