Chapter 9 Never Regret
Cen Wan knew what he was asking.
Somehow, she was a little afraid to look into his eyes.
She lowered her eyes, her thick black eyelashes trembling slightly: "There is no point in saying this now."
Shen Yixiao reached out and pinched her jaw, forcing her to look at him. His eyes seemed to be filled with a storm: "Answer me."
Cen Wan raised her eyes to look at him and said softly, "No."
As if she felt that she had not explained it clearly enough, she repeated it again.
“I’ve never regretted it.”
If she were given another chance, she would still make the same decision.
Shen Yixiao stared at her without blinking, her eyes were clear and bright, without a trace of impurities.
He used to love such eyes the most, but now he hated her for not even wanting to lie to him.
He suddenly let go and took a step back.
After staring at her for a few seconds without blinking, Shen Yixiao smiled and returned to his unruly look.
"Do you know what happens to those who offend me?"
Cen Wan's knuckles had turned white and ached from clenching her fists, but her face remained calm and composed: "I know."
Shen Yixiao turned around, walked to his desk, took out the stone from the drawer, and weighed it in his hand: "Is this the one you want?"
A trace of surprise flashed across Cen Wan's eyes: "Why is it with you?"
She quickly realized: "Did you do that on purpose?"
"Are you teasing me on purpose?"
Shen Yixiao laughed nonchalantly: "So what?"
Cen Wan choked, and an indescribable bitterness spread from her chest.
Shen Yixiao sat down lazily, placed the stone on the table, and turned it carelessly, as if he was playing with some interesting little object.
The stone hit the table with a loud thud.
Cen Wan shrank her fingers slightly and asked in a gentle voice, "What do you want in exchange for giving it to me?"
Shen Yixiao's hands kept moving. After a long while, he finally lifted his eyelids and looked at her with a playful look: "If you had said you regretted it just now, I might have given it to you when I was in a better mood."
"It's a pity that you missed it."
Cen Wan pursed her lips. Even if she wanted the stone in his hand, she couldn't say anything against her will.
She knew that Shen Yixiao hated her in his heart, and that he was just teasing her by saying this.
Fortunately, she was still standing here intact, which was already a sign of mercy from him.
She's afraid she won't be able to get this stone.
Cen Wan raised the corner of her lips and said, "Well, sorry to bother you. I'll be leaving first."
After saying that, Cen Wan turned around.
Shen Yixiao paused his movements, and the hostility between his eyebrows was so strong that it could wrap people up.
You can talk so much with Ji Yuanchen, but when you come to me, you don’t want to say a word?
"stop."
The moment Cen Wan's hand covered the door handle, Shen Yixiao suddenly called her.
"Giving up so soon?"
"If you come with me somewhere, I'll consider giving it to you."
…
When the two walked out of the office, they were stared at from all directions.
Ji Yuanchen and Qin Yanxiu sat at the secretary's desk, eating melon seeds and staring at the door.
Chen Yu, Shen Yixiao's assistant, quickly stepped forward and said, "Boss Shen, the meeting will begin in ten minutes."
Shen Yixiao's expression was cold and stern: "Let Qin Yanxiu go in my place."
Qin Yanxiu, who was still eating melon seeds, said: "???"
Does he look idle?
In the blink of an eye, Shen Yixiao entered the CEO's exclusive elevator, and Cen Wan followed him in.
Everyone present in the secretariat's office saw the red mark on Cen Wan's chin, which was a fingerprint.
There is so much ambiguity that it is hard not to think too much.
The people in the secretarial office were very familiar with Ji Yuanchen and Qin Yanxiu, and their eyes lit up as they gossiped: "Mr. Qin, Mr. Ji, what is the relationship between that woman and Mr. Shen?"
This was the first time they saw Shen Yixiao getting so close to a woman.
Besides, it's easy for something to happen when a man and a woman stay alone in the office for so long.
Qin Yanxiu crossed his legs and smiled wickedly: "I didn't eavesdrop on your CEO's conversation, how would I know?"
Chen Yu stepped forward and said in a steady voice, "Mr. Qin, it's time to get ready for the meeting!"
"Depend on!"
"Why?"
Chen Yu smiled and said, "You are also a director of Xingchen."
Downstairs, Shen Yixiao went directly to the parking lot below.
A black Pagani was parked quietly there. Shen Yixiao got into the driver's seat. Seeing Cen Wan still standing there, he sneered, "Why, do you still need me to invite you in?"
Cen Wan pursed her lips, then opened the car door and got in.
She had just fastened her seat belt when the car rushed out like an arrow from a bow, and a huge roar rang in her ears.
When in the city, Shen Yixiao was still restrained, but once he got on the winding mountain road, the speed soared.
Cen Wan clutched her seatbelt and glanced sideways at Shen Yixiao. He held the steering wheel with both hands, his stern face sharp and angular, his expression composed.
The car wound its way up the winding mountain road. He didn't even slow down when turning a corner, and the tires made a harsh sound as they rubbed against the ground.
Cen Wan's face turned pale as she looked at the scenery rapidly receding on both sides.
"Chen Yixiao, you..."
Shen Yixiao chuckled: "Why, are you scared?"
After saying that, he stepped on the accelerator and the car sped up even faster.
Cen Wan's body was tense, leaning back in her chair, every nerve in her body was tense.
When she reached the top of the mountain and got out of the car, her legs were weak, her face was as pale as a piece of paper, and there was no trace of blood on her lips.
Shen Yixiao stood in front of the fence on the top of the mountain, tilted his head to look at her, and said in an inexplicable tone: "After all these years, I thought you had made some progress."
Cen Wan was stunned.
Shen Yixiao had taken her along this road before.
But at that time he was riding a motorcycle, and he specially made a white helmet for himself. As long as she didn't hold him tightly, he would speed up to scare her. Sometimes he would coax her with some blushing and heart-pounding words. Only when he was satisfied would he slow down.
Because she was afraid, he never really started to race. He once joked that his fast-paced baby had turned into a baby carriage.
But now, he really doesn't care about himself at all.
The cool evening breeze blew the strands of hair around Cen Wan's ears. She slowly walked to Shen Yixiao's side, looking down the mountain, the entire South City in sight.
She hasn't been here for several years.
The cool breeze carried Shen Yixiao's casual voice into his ears: "Don't you have anything you want to say to me?"
Cen Wan came back to her senses and looked at his handsome face without any expression.
"I've followed you here. Have you thought about it?"
Shen Yixiao's face suddenly darkened: "It seems that this stone is really important to you."
Just as Cen Wan was about to speak, he took out a green stone and threw it down the cliff without any hesitation.
The stones rolled down the cliff in circles, making crisp crashing sounds.
So fast that she couldn't stop it.
