He held Shen Yanxi's hand and kissed the back of her hand: "I will never leave you, I will never abandon you like he did."
abandon?
These two words lingered in Shen Yanxi's mind, echoing for a long time.
That's right, He Lingchuan abandoned her.
This man actually had the audacity to abandon her.
Shen Yanxi clenched her fists tightly, and even with her eyes closed, one could feel her hatred just by looking at her face.
...
The Shen family banquet is a large and grand affair, requiring several days of preparation in advance.
As a large family, the Shen family always holds a grand banquet, with many relatives who are rarely seen attending.
After marrying Shen Yanxi, He Lingchuan also participated in several events.
He always carefully prepares gifts, but this time, he hesitated.
After checking into the hotel, his worries lessened considerably.
He can concentrate on research and development without his children around asking him questions.
Gu Chengze was very satisfied with her current state; it was rare to see him lost in thought.
"Something on your mind?"
As his good friend, he immediately noticed that something was wrong with He Lingchuan.
"Tell me about it."
Gu Chengze sat opposite He Lingchuan, looked at him, and raised an eyebrow at him.
"The Shen family banquet is about to begin."
He succinctly explained his concerns, and after Gu Chengze listened, he laughed mercilessly: "Why are you so indecisive?"
His cheeks trembled as he laughed: "Since you're planning to get a divorce, why bother worrying about him anymore?"
"It was a family dinner after all, and I didn't want things to get too unpleasant."
Although many members of the Shen family felt they were not good enough for Shen Yanxi, it was a large banquet after all, and he couldn't afford to lose face.
"Why think so much when you're about to leave? As a member of the Shen family, Shen Yanxi should be the one to consider these things."
Gu Chengze's words were not without reason, but He Lingchuan still felt that something was not quite right.
Seeing his bewildered look, Gu Chengze squeezed his shoulder to change the subject: "Let's not talk about this. I have an AI program here that I need you to work on. It's a project from a small company. Do you want to take it?"
Actually, the project had a bit of limited funding, and Gu Chengze originally planned to have someone else do it.
The main reason is that the company's headquarters is quite well-known.
"The content is a bit complicated and difficult. The main reason I contacted you is that this is a subsidiary. If they pass the test here, their headquarters will definitely come to us."
People in their industry rely on word of mouth.
Gu Chengze is already considered one of the best here, but he wants to climb even higher.
"Send me the main content and requirements."
Gu Chengze paused, not immediately agreeing: "Are you sure you're in the right state right now...?"
When have you ever seen me let personal matters interfere with my work?
He Lingchuan's voice was very firm, and Gu Chengze believed him, patting him hard on the back: "Once this project is done well, I will definitely give you a big bonus."
He smiled and sent him the other party's request.
At the same time, I also sent the other party's WeChat ID.
“Look at this person, which company’s project manager is he?”
After a brief discussion with the other party, He Lingchuan began his research.
As for the Shen family's banquet, he planned to listen to Gu Chengze's advice and not think about it or ask about it, so that he could feel more comfortable.
Although this project was a bit small, it was his first job after he and Shen Yanxi separated.
He worked on scientific research day and night, and even Gu Chengze was frightened by his reckless behavior.
He would remind He Lingchuan from time to time to balance work and rest, but the other party ignored him. Just when he thought He Lingchuan was going to die suddenly at work, Zhou Mingyan suddenly called.
"Mr. He, come here quickly... Shen Yanxi, she..."
Zhou Mingyan's voice was very urgent, but then he stopped abruptly.
He Lingchuan frowned and asked, "What's wrong? What happened to you?"
But there was no response; the call had already been disconnected.
He Lingchuan called again, but Zhou Mingyan didn't answer, and Shen Yanxi's phone was switched off.
He was silent for a moment, then grabbed his coat and walked out.
Seeing his appearance, Gu Chengze quickly followed and asked with concern, "Is there something urgent? Do you need any help?"
"I don't know. Zhou Mingyan suddenly called me. Maybe something happened to Shen Yanxi." He Lingchuan said, then opened the car door and got in.
"What could possibly be wrong with her?"
Gu Chengze pressed down on the back of his hand, which was resting on the steering wheel: "Think about it carefully. How many truths can someone like Zhou Mingyan tell? Don't be fooled by him!"
"I know."
Gu Chengze looked puzzled: "You knew that, yet you still went? Aren't you afraid he'll harm you?"
He Lingchuan frowned and said, "Don't worry, I will be careful."
Even though they were divorced, Shen Yanxi was still a woman he had loved and given his heart to.
If this call were a distress call, and because he didn't go, Shen Yanxi had an accident, he would definitely regret it.
If Zhou Mingyan was deliberately deceiving him and trying to harm him, he would definitely not let the other party's evil scheme succeed.
Gu Chengze fastened his seatbelt: "I'll go with you."
He Lingchuan looked at him, who looked like he was about to die a heroic death, and couldn't help but smile: "Hold on tight."
He drove very fast all the way to his destination.
He Lingchuan strode through the crowd and spotted Zhou Mingyan kneeling on one knee, with Shen Yanxi standing in front of him.
"What are you doing?"
His voice was very soft, but Shen Yanxi still caught it.
She turned her head and saw He Lingchuan; a hint of panic flashed across her face.
Few people here knew about his relationship with Shen Yanxi, and they enthusiastically explained, "President Zhou is proposing."
"Oh my god, I'm so envious of Miss Shen. She has such a handsome, rich, and romantic husband."
"If it were me, I definitely wouldn't hesitate. I would propose to her myself without her having to."
The surrounding chatter grew louder and louder. Gu Chengze cursed and grabbed He Lingchuan's hand, trying to leave: "Stop looking, they're just a pair of scumbags."
Zhou Mingyan was somewhat surprised when he saw He Lingchuan.
He didn't expect this guy to actually come.
He was certain that He Lingchuan would not reveal his relationship with Shen Yanxi in front of these people.
She simply walked up to him and said, "Mr. He, you would also give us your blessings, wouldn't you?"
More and more people around her were egging her on, and Shen Yanxi was in a difficult position. But when she looked at He Lingchuan, she secretly hoped that he would not agree.
However, He Lingchuan simply said with a calm expression, "Of course I wish you all the best."
The moment those words were spoken, Shen Yanxi's lips drooped slightly.
She really wanted to know what He Lingchuan meant. If it were the old He Lingchuan, he would have just walked away and questioned her afterwards.
But now—
"You wish us well?"
Shen Yanxi was incredulous. She walked up to He Lingchuan and asked unwillingly, "Are you sure this is what you really think?"
"My true feelings go far beyond these words."
He Lingchuan tilted his head back, a half-smile on his face: "Do you want to hear it?"
