When Xia Yansi heard Xia Linan call him "brother" after a long separation, his face turned pale.
This was the most fatal blow.
The person he loves in his heart is Xia Linan, and he regards her as his beloved woman.
But in Xia Lin'an's heart, he is always her brother.
Xia Linan is getting more and more beautiful, and her little face is charming even without makeup.
After so many years, Xia Lin'an has finally changed. She is no longer the soft-hearted and caring little girl, nor is she the little girl who would hug him and act coquettishly for candy.
Xia Yansi took a deep breath and said with a reluctant tone: "An An, you know that I..."
"Stop talking!" Xia Lin'an interrupted Xia Yansi in a stern voice, "If you say it, we won't even be able to continue being brother and sister."
Xia Linan raised his eyes and looked at Xia Yansi with a firm gaze.
Xia Yansi's heart twitched violently and he quickly looked away. Xia Linan was too cruel. That look would only hurt him more instead of making him face the truth.
"Really... there is no room for redemption?"
Xia Yansi tried to make a final struggle.
"We can't go back, brother." Xia Lin'an's voice was vague and couldn't be any softer: "We can only be brother and sister."
The afternoon sun shone into his eyes, causing a stinging sensation. Xia Yansi closed his eyes helplessly.
When he opened his eyes again, he said softly, "I'll take you back."
Xia Linan still refused, "No need, someone will take me there."
Xia Linan had already said everything he needed to say, and all that was left was for Xia Yansi to comfort him.
Xia Lin'an turned around and said to Xia Yansi who was standing under the tree: "Brother, I hope we can both be happy."
This is Xia Lin'an's most sincere blessing to Xia Yansi.
Xia Yansi clenched his fists, then unclenched them again. He looked at the mottled light and shadows under the tree and said calmly, "Okay."
His face was clear and bright, but his heart was already scarred, devastated by Xia Linan's words.
An An, do you know that you are my happiness? How can I laugh without you?
Xia Yansi turned around and watched Xia Linan's back getting farther and farther away with reluctance.
Since six years ago, he and Xia Linan were destined to drift further and further apart, with no way back to the past.
Whenever Xia Yansi thought of this, his heart ached. The girl he had loved for ten years finally left him, leaving him alone standing in the abyss behind him.
Wang Yihan stared at the two people talking from afar, feeling anxious. He hoped that Fu Yiming would not call to check on him at this time, otherwise he would be in danger.
However, according to Murphy's Law, even if you don't want a bad outcome to happen, it will happen.
Wang Yihan looked at the vibrating phone in his hand in horror and pressed the answer button at a critical moment.
As expected, Fu Yiming's first question was about Xia Linan: "Where is Anan now? Is she back home?"
Wang Yihan swallowed his saliva and said in a trembling voice: "No, no..."
Fu Yiming sat on the plane, squinting his eyes, and heard Wang Yihan slowly say: "Xia, Miss Xia met... an old friend, they were talking about... something..."
When Wang Yihan finished speaking, his voice unconsciously became as soft as a mosquito.
However, Fu Yiming heard it clearly. He frowned and asked, "Male?"
Wang Yihan's eyes widened in horror. Could it be that the boss had clairvoyance? How come he knew everything?
Wang Yihan's silence was equivalent to indirect consent. Fu Yiming narrowed his eyes. The flight attendant came over to remind Fu Yiming to turn off his phone. He quickly said to Wang Yihan: "You know what to do. After I go back, you can take the job in Africa yourself."
Before Wang Yihan could plead for mercy, the phone was hung up.
Did he just hear it wrong?
The boss wants to send him to work in Africa?
He doesn't want it!
Wang Yihan frowned bitterly, as if someone owed him money and didn't pay it back.
Xia Linan asked with concern: "Secretary Wang, what's wrong with you? Are you feeling unwell?"
Wang Yihan didn't even know when Xia Lin'an came up to him. He frowned and pleaded with Xia Lin'an: "Miss Xia... I don't want to work in Africa."
Xia Linan was puzzled. Did it have anything to do with her that he didn't want to work in Africa?
Then, Wang Yihan said, "When the boss comes back, please ask for mercy on my behalf."
Xia Lin'an finally understood what Wang Yihan meant. She looked at Wang Yihan speechlessly.
How terrifying is Fu Yiming? He can scare his subordinates so much that their faces turn pale. Is he a devil?
Besides, he didn't feel any pain at all for throwing a capable subordinate to Africa?
"I'll try my best..."
Xia Lin'an agreed with a frown on his face.
"Thank you, Madam Boss!"
Wang Yihan blurted out.
Xia Lin'an's face darkened. Such a servile secretary should be thrown to Antarctica.
Fu Yiming was sitting in a luxurious private plane. He looked at the scenery 30,000 feet below and fell into deep thought unconsciously.
An old friend came to see Xia Linan?
He couldn't help but think of the call he received from New York, USA that night.
He still clearly remembered the affectionate name "An An" that the man called him.
Don't be surprised, when a man gets jealous, he can even remember his rival's voice clearly.
Especially a man like Fu Yiming who is reserved and says nothing.
However, when it comes to Xia Lin'an's affairs, any love rivals must be put aside.
The first thing he had to deal with when he returned to China was the outbreak of Xia Linan’s “scandal”.
The woman in the video looked 80% like Xia Linan, but he could tell at a glance that it was not Xia Linan.
Doesn’t he know what his own woman looks like?
People who are not familiar with Xia Linan would easily mistake the woman in the video for Xia Linan himself.
The woman's face in the video obviously had plastic surgery, and the template was Xia Linan.
If it was true as he guessed, then it was obvious that the person behind the scenes had been well prepared.
This time when he goes back, he wants to find out who has such a vicious intention to harm his woman.
…
In the afternoon, He Miaoran returned to the studio, only to learn that she had been fired by Fu.
She looked at the white notice in disbelief. Fu Yijian's revenge came so quickly.
The notice sent down by Fu Corporation seemed to be no different from the notices from outside companies, but insiders knew that this was clearly intended to completely block He Miaoran's future.
He Miaoran tore up the notice angrily. She knew Fu Yijian was always cruel, but she didn't expect that he would really kill her without any mercy.
This huge sense of gap made He Miaoran hard to accept.
When the employees of MI Studio received this notice, they were shocked. They didn't understand why He Miaoran, who had always been gentle and kind, would be banned by the company.
