If there were a scale in his heart, with two women on either side, he would have already involuntarily leaned towards Sheng Yao.

However, he did not deny that Chu Xiangyun, who was as pure and gentle as a lotus, did indeed move him and made it impossible for him to look away.

She was like a timid vine, regarding him as the most important person in her life. For him, she could see no one else, as if leaving him would make her thirst to death. This was something that the usually radiant Sheng sisters had never shown. They could walk side by side with him without needing his help, but Chu Xiangyun was different. Without him, he would always wonder if she was hiding somewhere, secretly crying.

She definitely will, after all, she loves him so much.

Therefore, even though he knew that Chu Xiangyun had forgotten Gao Xi, Gao Sen still couldn't bear to punish her because of her tears.

He was lost in thought when he finally heard a voice from inside. His serious-looking female secretary pushed open the door and called him in. He had a faint smile on his face, but when he saw the person in front of him, he widened his eyes in surprise and exclaimed, "Yao Yao?"

He saw Shen Wangshu sitting behind a huge desk, resting her chin on her hand and looking at him coldly. A dark-haired man sat beside her, his gaze indifferent and distant. Gao Sen immediately recognized this man; he was the one who had appeared at his house yesterday.

He never expected that the man was the president of Lei's Group.

What surprised him even more was that Shen Wangshu seemed to be very close to this General Manager Lei.

Lei Xuan watched Gao Sen enter, but showed no interest in asking him to sit down, staring at him with emotionless eyes.

"Yaoyao, what are you doing here?" Gao Sen asked Shen Wangshu anxiously, ignoring Lei Xuan.

Her intimacy with Lei Xuan caused him inexplicable pain in his heart.

It seems that something important that belonged to him had been taken away.

"My boyfriend," Shen Wangshu said calmly.

“Fiancé,” President Lei corrected expressionlessly.

"Did you propose?" Shen Wangshu was almost amused by this person's shamelessness.

Lei Xuan thought for a moment with a cold expression, then nodded and said, "You kissed me."

"Does kissing me mean I'm your fiancée?"

"Hmm." President Lei nodded vigorously, his expression blank, but his attitude was extremely serious. He looked at Shen Wangshu as if he were looking at a heartless man who had started a relationship but then abandoned her.

Gao Sen was stunned by the intimate words between the two, staring in disbelief at Shen Wangshu's radiant smile. His face turned pale, and his hands clenched tightly. However, he was a shrewd man. After a moment of silence, he straightened his back and said in a steady voice, "Yaoyao, you are simple-minded. We can talk about this later."

He adopted the demeanor of an elder who could make decisions for Shen Wangshu, but his heart was aching so badly that he could hardly breathe. He barely managed to stand steadily and nodded to Lei Xuan, saying, "I've come today to ask about the cooperation project, Mr. Lei."

Gao Sen didn't need to come in person to inquire about this collaboration, but he valued the project so much that he came in person even though he knew it was beneath his dignity.

"Let's put the cooperation proposal on hold for now," Lei Xuan said calmly.

"Why?"

“I need to investigate this project; the investment is too large.” The more serious the matter, the more cautious Lei Xuan became, noticing Gao Sen narrowing his eyes. He continued, “When Mr. Gao visits in the future, please contact my secretary in advance.”

He knew perfectly well why Gao Sen was so determined to get him involved in this project. After all, as a major investor, he was highly valued by the government. To retain him, the government could easily resolve minor issues with a simple word, a skill that local businessmen lacked. Lei Xuan didn't mind Gao Sen's desire to simplify the project process.

He doesn't care whether he's being used or not, as long as he can generate profit.

He knew the project was difficult, but the reason he was asked to put it on hold wasn't because of his caution, but because he recognized Gao Sen.

This is Ghosh's father, the legendary evil dragon.

The evil dragon was also eyeing his fiancée covetously.

Gao Sen appears handsome and charming. Even standing in front of him, Lei Xuan had to admit that he was an outstanding man. However, based solely on what Lei Xuan had seen and heard at the Gao family villa, as well as the family affairs mentioned by his nephew Lei Tian, ​​Lei Xuan began to question Gao Sen's character.

Moreover, he knew that Shen Wangshu disliked Gao Xi's father and deeply loathed him. Shen Wangshu's attitude forced Lei Xuan to reconsider whether to cooperate, and even consider ending the partnership altogether. This was because Gao Sen had displeased Shen Wangshu.

He is always rational and never lets personal feelings get in the way when he is working.

However, when he saw Shen Wangshu's displeased face, he was unwilling to let her gain benefits while feeling resentful.

This was a very rare feeling for Lei Xuan, but he didn't find it annoying.

Isn't the point of making money to be more carefree and happy?

He sat down beside Shen Wangshu and watched her pause for a moment before a faint smile appeared on her lips. Suddenly, he felt that everything was worthwhile.

He was willing to give up those benefits that used to bring him pleasure in exchange for a smile from her.

"What?" Gao Sen's handsome face changed slightly.

An anger arose in his heart, not towards Shen Wangshu, but towards Lei Xuan.

This Boss Lei is clearly manipulating Sheng Yao because of his close relationship with her.

"In that case, I'll take my leave." Gao Sen, shrewd as ever, was seething with anger, but he nodded calmly, turned, and strode away. Shen Wangshu watched Gao Sen leave, then turned and smiled at the silent Lei Xuan, asking, "Why didn't you agree to his offer?" This project would be incredibly profitable once completed; otherwise, Gao Sen wouldn't have held onto it so tightly. Thinking of Gao Sen's barely contained rage, she threw herself into Lei Xuan's arms and asked, "Was it for me?" She seemed utterly delusional.
