"What did you say?"

Chen Fan stopped halfway up the mountain and looked at the extremely charming woman in front of him in amazement.

Lin Xue felt a little embarrassed and explained softly, "I like Manager Feng and I want to be with him."

Chen Fan stared at Lin Xue for two seconds and then spoke slowly.

"Does Old Feng know that you like him?"

Lin Xue nodded: "I know."

Chen Fan: "What does he think?"

Lin Xue: “I… don’t know.”

Chen Fan stared at the woman with a half-smile.

"Are you so sure that I will help you?"

Lin Xue looked at Chen Fan with a frank expression.

"I know that Mr. Chen looked down on me because of my origin and background. The truth is that a woman like me will never deserve love in my life."

"But love is something that is often beyond human control."

"If I like you, I like you."

Chen Fan suddenly became interested.

"What do you like about Lao Feng?"

Lin Xue raised her hand and gently tucked a strand of hair behind her ear.

"He is a decent and honest person who doesn't talk much. He may seem serious, but he is warm-hearted and a very secure person."

Chen Fan: "When did you fall in love with him?"

This time Lin Xue did not answer directly, but looked a little embarrassed.

"You asked him to be in charge of the expansion of the new school here. It's inevitable that he and I will meet each other frequently. After getting to know each other, we naturally developed a good impression of each other."

"But when did I decide that I liked him..."

Lin Xue thought about it and shook her head.

"I don't know. I can't tell. Maybe I had a crush on him from the beginning."

"Maybe it started last year when you sent him and he saved me."

Chen Fan frowned: "Save you?"

Lin Xue explained: "That night, I was drinking with some local bosses to discuss cooperation. This guy was dishonest and wanted to force me to drink."

"I can actually hold my alcohol quite well, but I was tricked by him that night. It was Lao Feng who rushed to rescue me."

"Perhaps from that moment on, I felt that I was hopelessly in love with him."

What a hero saving the beauty.

Chen Fan was speechless and didn't know how to start for a moment.

"This...what does Old Feng think about this?"

Now that it's out, Lin Xue decided not to hide it anymore.

"He came early this time, and I talked to him in detail, but he rejected it outright. He also said a lot of things, saying that we were not suitable for each other and that he would not marry again..."

"I don't think what he said is true."

Lin Xue's eyes were firm: "I am a woman, I can feel that he has no feelings for me."

"It's just that Mr. Feng is worried. Maybe it's because of our current positions, or maybe it's because of my identity... In any case, he can't be completely indifferent to me."

Chen Fan was defeated.

Is the love of young people so passionate?

"Mr. Chen, I know he listens to you. Can you talk to him for me?"

Chen Fan smiled bitterly: "Why should I talk to him? This is between you two, right?"

Lin Xue: "Let him stop hiding from me, let him face his relationship problems head on, let him give me an answer."

Chen Fan looked at Lin Xue and said, "Have you ever thought that if you tell me about this, you might lose your job? Or even implicate Old Feng?"

Lin Xue's eyes flashed with panic.

"I've thought about that."

"You can fire me, but Old Feng is absolutely loyal to you. He has never leaked any information about you. I can guarantee you this."

Lin Xue lowered her head, feeling a little frustrated and lost.

"I just want an answer from him."

"Yes is yes, no is no."

"If he refuses, I won't bother him anymore."

"I, Lin Xue, like a person who is bold and responsible, and open and honest."

Chen Fan stared at Lin Xue and asked calmly, "Logically speaking, you two haven't spent much time alone together, so why are you so fond of him?"

Lin Xue shook her head.

"I don't know either."

"Old Feng is a dull guy, too honest, to put it nicely, and too stubborn, to put it bluntly. He is average looking, with dark skin, and apart from being a little tall, there is nothing I like about him."

"If this had happened when I was younger, I would never have liked someone like him."

"But after going through so many things and spending more time with him, my attitude towards him has gradually changed."

"I used to think that my life was ruined and I didn't deserve love. But when someone treats me well, I want to give him everything I have."

"I like him. When I'm with him, it's as if... as if we were a couple in our previous life and were meant to be together in this life."

Chen Fan's eyelids twitched slightly and he glanced at Lin Xue.

She said so much, but only the last sentence touched Chen Fan.

It seems like the two were a couple in their previous life.

Isn't this me and Su Ruchu?

Just for this last sentence, Chen Fan decided to give Lin Xue another chance.

Chen Fan sighed and looked at Lin Xue in front of him with a gradually serious look in his eyes.

"To be honest, I didn't have a good impression of you at first. In my opinion, everything between you and me is just a transaction."

"You are too smart, cunning, and cowardly... I don't like you."

"So, I never considered you as my own."

Listening to Chen Fan's words, the light in Lin Xue's eyes gradually dimmed.

She felt she had lost the gamble.

However, who would have thought that the next second, Chen Fan suddenly changed the subject.

"But...I really admire your courageous attitude towards love."

"So, I decided to give you a chance."

Lin Xue's eyes suddenly lit up.

Chen Fan raised his hand and said, "Don't think too much. I can't possibly interfere with Lao Feng's emotions."

"The most I can do is ask Lao Feng what he thinks."

"Although he is my employee, he has been with me from the start of the business to the present. We have long been both teachers and friends."

"I respect him, so I hope he can do it himself."

Lin Xue nodded: "I understand."

"Mr. Chen, please let me go. Regardless of whether he accepts it in the end, I will resign and will definitely not make it difficult for you."

Chen Fan didn't say anything, but said calmly: "Let me find some time to have a good chat with him."

Seeing Chen Fan walking down the mountain in strides, Lin Xue quickly followed him.

Looking at Chen Fan’s back in front of him.

She was a smart woman, and she knew that as long as she stayed close to Chen Fan, she would have a worry-free future, if not rich.

But at this time, I gave up everything for love.

Is it worth it?

Lin Xue had no answer.

She only knew that she was drugged and drunk that night, and when she was in despair, Feng Pojun arrived.

In the moment before she fell into coma, she saw Feng Pojun knock the boss to the ground, then grabbed a wine bottle, smashed it, and stabbed it directly into the other's thigh.

At that moment, she thought the man was simply stunningly handsome.
