The street lights were dim, but they made Li Yangzhou's handsome features more distinct and his outlines sharper.
He pursed his lips slightly, his eyelids drooped slightly, his expression was indifferent, with a hint of coldness.
His posture was calm and elegant, his voice was neither hurried nor slow, and he had been in a high position for many years, which made him exude an intimidating aura.
Just a light sentence, like an order, made the people who heard it dare not question it.
The faint citrus scent lingering around his nose allowed Li Yangzhou to accurately determine Su Wanti's location.
Without any help, he walked straight to Su Wanti.
He raised his chin slightly and gave a signal to the bodyguards. The two bodyguards who were holding Su Wanti understood and let go.
Li Yangzhou's big hand embraced the woman's slender waist. The woman, who was sleeping unconscious, seemed to have found support. Her body softened and she fell into his arms with peace of mind, resting her head on his chest.
The woman's delicate profile shone with a white luster under the dim light, with graceful lines, quiet and sweet like the Sleeping Beauty in the fairy tale.
"Hmm?" Li Yangzhou addressed Lu Zhenghao in a cold voice with an upward tone, which contained a hint of questioning.
Lu Zhenghao, who had been stunned for a long time, finally came to his senses. He realized that he was still holding Su Wanti's wrist. His cheeks suddenly became hot and he shook his hand.
The woman's wrist fell down, but Li Yangzhou held it firmly in his palm.
"I, I thought they were bad guys and wanted to kidnap Assistant Su..." Lu Zhenghao explained.
Li Yangzhou held Su Wanti tightly in his arms. Seeing this scene, Lu Zhenghao's mind went blank.
However, he soon understood.
Mr. Li’s possessiveness towards Su Wanti was too obvious. He was also a man and liked Su Wanti, so he could see it right away.
At the same time, he also clearly realized that he had been defeated before the war between his rivals even started.
From the moment he saw Li Yangzhou coming towards him and stuttered in panic, from the moment he was frightened by Li Yangzhou's slightly upturned syllable and let go of Su Wanti's hand in a panic, he lost, lost completely, lost without any possibility of recovery.
Thinking of this, Lu Zhenghao was completely deflated, and his originally bright eyes instantly became dim.
Li Yangzhou helped Su Wanti into the car and let her lean on the back seat.
Then, he turned to Lu Zhenghao and said, "Assistant Su is not feeling well. I'll send someone to take her home."
His voice softened, and he asked, "What's your name?"
Lu Zhenghao lost his spirit and said in a low voice with his head down: "Boss Li, my name is Lu Zhenghao, and I am a planning specialist in the planning department."
Li Yangzhou nodded, his voice steady, "You did well. Although it was a misunderstanding, your courage to save your colleagues alone was genuine. Lu Zhenghao, I will remember you. Tomorrow I will have the President's Office issue a statement praising your courageous act, so that your colleagues in the group can learn from you."
He spoke frankly and in a friendly manner, and after he finished speaking, there was no possibility that Lu Zhenghao would be angry at all.
Lu Zhenghao lowered his head and said in a muffled voice, "Thank you, Mr. Li."
Li Yangzhou patted his shoulder and got in the car.
The car door closed, a door that was neither too thin nor too thick, easily separating people from the two worlds.
Lu Zhenghao stared blankly at the car that was gradually driving away, feeling sad.
After all, she is not from his world...
Su Anan, hiding in the dark, watched all of this.
She looked at Lu Zhenghao's back as he stood there for a long while, and suddenly she understood something.
Su Anan's eyes flashed, and she instantly came up with an idea.
She walked to Lu Zhenghao, sighed, and said, "I saw everything. Are you feeling bad now?"
Lu Zhenghao has a good relationship with Su Anan. Since Su Anan saw it, he didn't hide it.
He nodded and muttered, "So the rumors were true. I foolishly didn't believe it..."
Su Anan said: "People say that failure in love leads to success in career. Mr. Lu, I suggest you change your environment and change your mood. Maybe you will find a way out and benefit a lot in your career!"
She had wanted to recruit Lu Zhenghao for a long time, but Lu Zhenghao had never agreed.
Now’s the chance!
Lu Zhenghao was in a state of confusion, and he replied absentmindedly, "I'll think about it again."
————
Su Anan used facts and reason to lure him with a high salary. After talking for a long time, she was so thirsty that Lu Zhenghao only said, "I'll think about it and give you an answer in a few days."
She returned to the banquet hall dejectedly, and the party was almost over.
Su Cong and Wanran looked for Su Anan for a long time. When they saw her staggering back, they happily held her hand.
Wanran scolded, "An'an, where have you been? You didn't even chat with Grandpa on his birthday."
Su Anan curled the corners of her mouth.
Su Cong noticed that she was in a bad mood and asked with concern: "An An, what happened? Why don't you look so happy?"
Su Anan thought of Su Wanti and felt it necessary to tell her parents.
"Dad, Mom, Su Wanti was kidnapped by two unidentified people..."
Before she could finish her words, she saw panic, worry and fear in her parents' eyes.
"She, she was kidnapped? Wan Ti, where is Wan Ti now? Have you called the police?" Wan was pale, her fingertips were cold, and she unconsciously clenched Su An'an's hand, pinching her hand so hard that it hurt.
Su An'an was disheartened and said, "It's okay. President Li has rescued Su Wanti. They have returned to the Li family mansion now."
"I was scared to death." Wanran and Su Cong said in unison. They looked at each other and their expressions relaxed.
"Thank goodness, thank goodness." Wanran clasped his hands together with a pious expression.
Su Anan felt uncomfortable, her nose felt sore, and a layer of mist rose in her eyes.
"Um... Dad, Mom, I want to tell you something."
"What's the matter?" Su Cong asked.
Su Anan sniffed, "Why not let Su Wanti go back to the Su family..."
"I've thought about it. I was too overbearing towards her before. You've raised her as your daughter for over twenty years, which is much more time than you've spent with me. You must have feelings for her..."
Although she didn't want to share her parents with Su Wanti, she also didn't want her parents to be sad because of her strong actions.
In fact, Su Wanti had never done anything evil, nor had she ever caused trouble for herself.
Moreover, she now has a special relationship with Liyangzhou. Even if she returns to the Su family, she probably won't work in the Su family's company again, and will not pose a threat to herself.
After listening to Su An'an, Wanran shook her head. She gently touched Su An'an's head and said, "Are you daydreaming again?"
She knew her daughter's inner uneasiness.
"I raised her, and although I miss her often, you are my biological daughter."
"When I look at her, I think of the suffering you've endured, and I feel so bitter and guilty."
"What has happened has already happened, and there is no going back to the way it was."
He lowered his eyes and sighed silently.
