"If your chance encounter wasn't arranged by you, then I think you should know who arranged it.
"But what does she want?"
Han Qi lowered his head and took a bite of his food. "I can't guess that. After all, she and I are not familiar with each other. But one thing is certain, you are her target."
The word "goal" makes my hair stand on end.
All these encounters seemed to make sense.
I clenched my hands slightly on my knees. "No matter what she wants to do, whether she wants to use me as a target or bait, I will not let her succeed."
Han Qi picked up a piece of meat for me and said, "Your most important task right now is to eat. Don't think too much about other things for now. Or I can help you check it later."
"How do you check?"
Han Qi paused for a moment while eating, "Don't forget I have a very capable father."
I saw with my own eyes how he resisted his father, and I never thought he could say such a thing.
Did he accept his father in such a short time?
No, no, no.
I think that's unlikely.
So…he did it for me.
"Han Qi..."
"Don't show such a touched expression. I did this because I wanted to help you, but it's not just for you, it's also for myself."
My heart skipped a beat.
At this moment, on this occasion, this sentence seems to have a bit of ambiguity.
"What's the meaning?"
My heart started beating faster.
It's an inexplicable feeling.
I don’t know whether I’m nervous, scared, or… looking forward to it.
"You're such a capable employee, I don't want anything to happen to you."
Han Qi smiled and said,
I opened my mouth, and the corner of my mouth twitched. "Thank you so much for your concern."
Han Qi laughed, "Of course, there are also personal factors involved."
After last time’s experience, I won’t think too much about it this time.
"Because he's your friend, right?"
“That’s not all.”
I was stunned for a moment.
Han Qi said, "Mu Yan, I do consider you a friend, but what I said to you before still stands."
My heartbeat suddenly accelerated.
He wasn't talking either.
The two of us sat quietly in the room, and the whole office seemed to be filled with a strange atmosphere.
I took a deep breath and changed the subject. "Even though you said that, I still can't let you get in touch with someone you hate just for me. I'll be careful. She won't cause me any harm, don't worry."
"Mu Yan..."
I smiled and waved my hand, "Don't underestimate me. How could I be bullied so easily? Zhou Zhizi is not that omnipotent."
The reason why she treated me so badly in my previous life was entirely because I didn't expect her to be so cruel, and Zhou Chenyan was there to help her.
It's normal that I can't beat them.
But this time is different.
"Of course, if I need any help, I'll let you know."
Only then did Han Qi give up trying to persuade me.
"Okay, you must remember your words. Don't think that you are bothering me and don't want to come to me."
"No, don't worry."
The company then became busy. After all, the project with Mr. Han could not be delayed, so Han Qi and I were busy all day long.
I wish I could just sleep in the studio.
Before falling asleep, there are files; after waking up, there is a computer.
I feel dizzy after being busy for a few days.
Until this day came Mr. Han’s birthday.
When we were packing up the documents in the morning, I couldn't help but glance at Han Qi.
He still hasn't said whether he wants to go today, and I haven't asked him.
Han Qi packed up the documents and walked up to me with a normal look. "Come on, I'll take you to pick out a dress, and we'll go to the mall party."
"Are you really going?"
Han Qi hummed, "So that our efforts over the past few days won't go to waste."
Although we were aiming to make money at the beginning, after we delved into this project and spent our time and energy, the feeling was different from before.
I nodded.
"Okay, let's go together."
…
Several cars were parked in front of the villa. Han Qi and I got out of the car. He said to me, "Don't be nervous. No matter what happens today, I will be with you and protect you."
However, I looked at his hands which were shaking a little.
"You're the one who's nervous."
Han Qi pursed his lips, a trace of annoyance slipping across his usually calm and composed face. "I've never been here before, and I've made up my mind before that I'll never set foot here in this lifetime..."
I can understand the conflicting feeling of making a decision but not being able to stick to it.
I hesitated and patted the back of his hand.
"Don't be nervous. If you really feel uncomfortable, we can leave at any time. We don't have to do this project."
Han Qi nodded and walked in with me.
Just as I imagined, a lot of people came today. After all, Mr. Han has a different identity and has some connections with official organizations, so naturally there are many people who flatter him.
It’s just a birthday party, not a big birthday.
But the people who come here are either rich or noble, with important status. Their figures and faces can be seen in financial magazines and on TV.
Han Qi whispered, "He used to be a poor boy, but after marrying into a wealthy family, he suddenly became a wealthy son-in-law."
The phrase he used, "marrying into a wealthy family," was somewhat sharp.
