Xu Xinchen has been staying at home for some time now and hasn't been to the company in a long time.
Seeing that she was lonely, Chen Ningsheng took a day off and took her to a charming French restaurant.
The melodious sound of a violin brought Xu Xinchen back to her senses.
"What are you thinking about?" Chen Ningsheng skillfully used a knife and fork to cut the steak on the white plate into small pieces, and then handed the plate to Xu Xinchen.
Xu Xinchen shook her head, no longer letting her mind wander, and focused on eating her steak in small bites.
"Are you thinking about another man?" Chen Ningsheng looked at her and took a bite of his steak.
Xu Xinchen almost choked when she heard this, and looked up at him reproachfully.
Chen Ningsheng handed her a glass of red wine. "I made a point of taking you here for dinner, but your mind seems to be elsewhere. It seems you're unhappy with today's arrangements?"
"No." Xu Xinchen shook her head quickly, afraid that he would misunderstand.
“I,” she thought for a moment, glanced at him cautiously, and decided to tell him her true thoughts, “I want to go back to work.”
Chen Ningsheng was taken aback, his face suddenly darkened, and he said without any room for negotiation, "No."
Xu Xinchen paused for a moment, seemingly anticipating his reaction. Not knowing what to say, she simply pursed her lips and remained silent.
Seeing the light in her eyes dim, Chen Ningsheng felt a pang of pity and finally managed to say, "You know I can't let you spend every day with him anymore."
"As long as I don't go to his company, I can go to work?" she said, looking at him with bright eyes.
Chen Ningsheng hesitated for a moment, but seeing the light in her eyes, he couldn't bear it and took a step back, "Okay. I promise you I'll go to work."
Xu Xinchen was stunned, her eyes almost overflowing with joy, "Really?"
"There's just one condition."
"What?"
"You must come to my company."
Xu Xinchen was taken aback. She hadn't expected him to make such a request. A feeling of being tightly controlled spread through her heart, but then she felt relieved. She knew that he must have compromised to agree to her request.
So why can't I also take a step back?
“Okay,” she agreed immediately.
"President Chen's possessiveness is truly terrifying; he's not satisfied until he has his woman firmly under his control."
A light, teasing voice came from behind them. The two were startled. Chen Ningsheng turned around and saw Gu Yan at the table behind him, smiling as he picked up a wine glass and downed the wine in one gulp.
Chen Ningsheng couldn't help but frown in disgust when he saw this person.
Xu Xinchen didn't expect Gu Yan to be here. She saw that there were still uncollected plates on the table opposite him, but the seat was empty. It seemed that he had also made an appointment here today.
"That's right. Of course, one should hold one's own woman firmly in one's grasp. However, this is also because she voluntarily stayed under my wing. I hope that President Chen will be so fortunate someday."
Before Xu Xinchen could react, Chen Ningsheng retorted with a sarcastic remark.
She clearly saw Gu Yan's face darken for a moment, especially when he heard "his own woman".
However, his expression quickly returned to normal, with a faint smile on his lips, as if he didn't care at all.
"Ayan, is this your friend?" A sweet voice reached her ears. Xu Xinchen turned around and saw a woman in a cheongsam walking gracefully towards her.
Xu Xinchen was stunned when she saw the woman's face clearly.
At the same time, she could clearly feel Chen Ningsheng's body stiffen.
