Chapter 844 I Didn't Follow You on Purpose
For some reason, Qiao Xing felt an indescribable emotion welling up inside him after hearing what Sun Miao and Tao Yang said.
It seems everyone accepts that she can influence Shen Boyan.
If Shen Boyan, with her independent and self-willed personality, were to have many ideas influenced by her, it wouldn't be a good thing for either of them.
Qiao Xing is not a cold-blooded animal. Even though Shen Boyan's behavior wasn't very obvious in many places, Qiao Xing could still feel his care and concern for her that went beyond friendship.
Qiao Xing didn't think about it that way because she didn't dare to, not because she was truly unaware of it.
We're all adults, how could we not notice anything?
Tao Yang and the others were already talking about other things, and Qiao Xing didn't listen much. She glanced at Shen Boyan's seat and sighed almost imperceptibly.
Hopefully, she's just overthinking things.
Shen Boyan visited several companies in the morning, but the results were all the same, which made him somewhat discouraged.
This feeling was very similar to when he and Tao Yang went around trying to attract investment after graduation, only to be rejected everywhere.
If you're lucky, the other party might say a few nice things to you and send you out safely.
If you're unlucky, they'll turn on you and call you arrogant, delusional, and say the most hurtful things imaginable.
Several years have passed, and I thought everything had cleared up, but who knew that we would end up back where we started.
The hardships and struggles of the past few years seem like a joke.
Shen Boyan bought a bottle of water and casually found a chair to sit down.
Looking at the bustling traffic and hurried pedestrians on the street, he was momentarily lost in confusion.
How much does it take to survive in this city?
He snapped out of his reverie and caught a glimpse of someone hiding not far away.
The tree was too small to block her view at all, but she was still worried about being discovered and tried her best to hide herself.
Shen Boyan shook his head with a wry smile.
His gaze remained fixed on the tree, or perhaps on the person hiding behind it, watching quietly without ever looking away.
Sheng Yao was afraid of being discovered by Shen Boyan, so she hid behind a tree and dared not look at him.
But she was worried that he would run away, so she secretly peeked out to take a look. And just like that, their eyes met unexpectedly.
Sheng Yao's eyes widened suddenly, and she quickly stood up straight.
But after standing there for two minutes, she realized what was happening.
She's already been seen, so why is she still hiding?
As if on purpose, Shen Boyan only slowly withdrew his gaze after seeing her come out, unscrewed the water bottle, and took another sip of water.
Sheng Yao slowly moved towards Shen Boyan, too guilty to even look at him.
Shen Boyan remained silent, staring ahead.
It was as if they hadn't seen her at all.
Sheng Yao gritted her teeth, unable to hold back any longer, and said to Shen Boyan, "Don't be angry, I didn't mean to follow you!"
Shen Boyan said lightly, "Yes, I know you did it on purpose."
"No!" Sheng Yao was so anxious she could barely speak. "What I wanted to say was that I wanted you to promise me that I would talk to my uncle and ask him to help you. He will definitely agree."
Shen Boyan said calmly, "I know he will agree, and I know you have the ability to make him agree, but even so, why should I accept your help?"
He turned his head and glanced at her indifferently, "Don't you know what kind of relationship we have?"
In fact, Shen Boyan was not without options. No matter what, he still had the Shen family as his backing, even though he never regarded this backing as such.
But if he wanted to, all the difficulties would be easily resolved now.
Instead of accepting Sheng Yao's help, he should ask Shen Congyue for help. After all, Shen Congyue is his biological father, and in other people's eyes, it is only natural for a father to help his son.
But whether it's Sheng Yao or Shen Congyao, they're actually the same to Shen Boyan.
Sheng Yao bit her lip. No matter how naive she was, she could understand the meaning behind Shen Boyan's words.
But she stubbornly replied, "So what? Just consider it an investment. Can't I make money if I want to?"
Shen Boyan gave a mocking snort.
To say she's innocent and naive is absolutely true.
Shen Boyan patiently said to Sheng Yao, "If we don't know each other, I would be very happy if you could persist like this, because you would make me feel that my project has been appreciated. But there is no such if. If you really want to help me, then give up this idea."
Sheng Yao opened her mouth, but didn't know what to say.
She bit her lip, her round eyes glaring at Shen Boyan, her cheeks puffed out slightly, looking genuinely angry.
Shen Boyan knew that his words were very resolute, but if he didn't say them, Sheng Yao would never give up.
However, the truth is that even though he spoke very decisively and bluntly, Sheng Yao seemed not to care at all.
She sat down directly next to Shen Boyan and said to him, "Oh, why are you so stubborn! I like you, so I want to do things for you. What's wrong with that? It's not like you're trying to please me. People can say whatever they want. There aren't that many absolutes of right and wrong in this world. You think it's right, but I think it's wrong. If you keep worrying about what others think, you'll never be happy in your life!"
Sheng Yao spoke a lot in one breath, and was a little out of breath. Her cheeks were red as she looked at Shen Boyan.
"Do you think what I said is right or wrong?"
Shen Boyan remained silent for a while before nodding, "Yes, that makes a lot of sense."
Sheng Yao's eyes lit up. "So you agreed?"
"No."
Sheng Yao felt as if she had been doused with cold water, and her shoulders slumped immediately.
Shen Boyan stood up and said, "Go back early."
Sheng Yao watched his retreating figure and said unwillingly, "I will still come to see you tomorrow!"
As the saying goes, sincerity can move mountains. If she can't get him to agree emotionally, and it still doesn't work in this matter, then she will truly be a failure.
If, after a few years, she still hasn't been able to be with Shen Boyan, and looking back on everything, if there were no ties or connections between them, then Sheng Yao would definitely regret it to death.
Sheng Yao shook her head violently.
no!
That's not possible.
She and Shen Boyan will definitely be together in the future!
In the afternoon, when it was time to leave work, Tian Guo was the first to pack up her things and prepare to go home.
Her mother has been discharged from the hospital, but she is still recovering, so she needs to hurry back to cook for her.
As the group exited the elevator, Tian Guo waved goodbye, saying, "I'll head back now."
Before the words were even finished, someone shouted from the company entrance, "Tian Guo! You come out here!"
