It was late at night, but Xia Linan tossed and turned in bed, unable to sleep well.

She had a dream, not quite a nightmare, but scary.

Because in her dream, she saw herself wearing a white wedding dress and thought she was going to marry her beloved man, but she was frightened when the man turned his face.

The person she married was not Fu Yiming, but Xia Yansi.

So, Xia Linan was awakened by the shock.

She sat up from the bed, gasping for breath, cold sweat breaking out on her back, her heart still trembling.

Xia Linan couldn't help but take out her cell phone from under the pillow. Forgetting how late it was, she called a man who could give her peace of mind.

Fu Yiming was still awake when he received Xia Lin'an's call. He had just finished reading the investigation materials sent by Wang Yihan, and his eyes were filled with gloom.

When the cell phone rang, Fu Yiming picked it up without hesitation.

"Why haven't you slept yet?" Fu Yiming asked with a frown.

When Xia Linan heard Fu Yiming's voice, she almost cried out loud. She choked and said, "I just had a nightmare."

Xia Linan's crying voice reached his ears. Fu Yiming frowned, his heart sank, and he asked nervously, "What nightmare did you have?"

Xia Linan said intermittently: "I, I dreamed that I got married, but, but... the person was not you..."

Fu Yiming's heart was stabbed. In Xia Linan's dream, the person she was marrying was not him, so who would it be?

Fu Yiming asked subconsciously: "Who is that?"

Xia Linan was stunned for a moment, feeling uneasy, and said, "Yes, it's my brother."

Xia Linan’s dream had the same content as his own.

Fu Yiming never believed in metaphysics, but they all dreamed of the same scene, which he couldn't help but doubt.

Fu Yiming didn't speak for a long time. He took a deep breath and asked, "Are you hiding something from me?"

It's so obvious, and Xia Linan doesn't plan to tell him about her relationship and past with Xia Yansi?

Hearing Fu Yiming's questioning, Xia Lin'an felt aggrieved. She was uneasy all night, especially afraid of being plotted against by Xia Shixun.

She said softly, "I don't want to hide it from you." Because she was also kept in the dark.

Xia Lin'an then told Fu Yiming everything that had happened in the past, including how she discovered that Xia Shixun wanted to marry her to Xia Yansi, and how she resisted.

The truth that Xia Lin'an told was exactly the same as what Wang Yihan had investigated.

But Xia Lin'an didn't know that Xia Shixun really planned to marry her to Xia Yansi, and he was hiding it from her. The plan was to be held at the annual meeting two days later.

Fu Yiming held the phone, his jaw was clenched in anger, and veins on the back of his hand were faintly visible.

Fu Yiming was not only angry about Xia Lin'an's concealment, but also about his dissatisfaction with himself.

If he hadn't come to Lin City, would he have lost Xia Lin'an?

Or by the time he regretted it, Xia Linan had already been forced by her family to marry someone else?

Fu Yiming didn't dare to think about any possibility.

Xia Linan carefully asked the person on the other end of the phone: "Fu Yiming, are you still listening?"

Fu Yiming took a deep breath and replied, "I'm here."

Then he asked, "An An, do you want to leave?"

Xia Linan was confused for a moment, and asked in confusion: "What do you mean?"

Fu Yiming looked at the moonlight outside the window, his eyes filled with sorrow, and said lightly: "Do you want to leave here with me? Or will you listen to your family's arrangements and marry your brother?"

When Fu Yiming said this, his heart was filled with nervousness. He was afraid of hearing an answer that would make him collapse.

Xia Linan said subconsciously: "Of course not!"

She said firmly: "I will definitely not listen to my family and marry my brother. My happiness must be decided by myself!"

Xia Lin'an said this very firmly, which gave Fu Yiming a shot of confidence.

Xia Linan then added: "Besides, what I just did was just a dream, it's not real."

Fu Yiming remained silent and did not tell her in person that her father Xia Shixun was actually plotting to use the annual meeting to announce her marriage to Xia Yansi.

After a while, he comforted Xia Linan and said, "Go to bed obediently. I'm here."

Fu Yiming's simple words "I'm here" calmed Xia Linan's panic a lot.

Fu Yiming heard soft breathing sounds coming from the other end of the phone, then lowered his head to exit the call interface, edited a text message and sent it to Wang Yihan's phone.

The text message reads: "I want an invitation to Xia's company's annual meeting in two days."

When Wang Yihan received the text message, he did not hesitate at all and went to do the work immediately.

Outside Xia Lin'an's door stood a tall man in a blue robe, with gold-rimmed glasses on his face and a dark look in his eyes.

Just after Xia Lin'an was awakened by a nightmare, Xia Yansi heard the noise and rushed over worriedly. However, before he even knocked on the door, he heard intermittent voices coming from inside.

Xia Yansi didn't hear it clearly because of the door, but he heard a little bit.

Xia Linan was on guard against him and Xia Shixun.

When he knew this, he felt uncomfortable in his heart.

Yes, why don’t you think about it, a woman who has taken care of you since you were a child is actually on guard against you all the time, how would you feel?

Xia Yansi lowered his eyes, clenched his fists, and suppressed some emotions in his eyes.

When Xia Shixun proposed such a plan, Xia Yansi struggled in his heart.

As a man, his self-esteem would not allow him to use such a trick to obtain his own happiness.

However, Xia Lin'an's repeated indifference and defensiveness made Xia Yansi feel helpless and unable to find a solution, so he acquiesced to Xia Shixun's approach.

It seems that Xia Linan has contacted her boyfriend tonight, and I'm afraid he has already followed her here.

Then the question is whether the annual meeting can be held smoothly in two days.

Before Xia Yansi left, he glanced at the tightly closed door with deep eyes and said in his heart: "An An, he is not the only one who can make you happy. I can do the same."

People who are very persistent about something are particularly stubborn. When they set their eyes on someone, they have already decided on a result from which there is no turning back.

Whether he succeeded or not, he was prepared to be hated by Xia Lin'an for the rest of his life.

He paid a high price for this love, exchanging his entire life for happiness.

Who doesn't do whatever it takes to achieve their own happiness?

He is, and so is Fu Yiming.

In this fight without gunpowder, it is impossible to judge who will be with Xia Linan to the end.

Fu Yiming has Xia Lin'an's feelings as a bargaining chip, and he also has the support of the Xia family as a backing.

As for Xia Lin'an, with the passage of time, he believed that one day she would turn around and look at him.
