Shen Zhiyi watched as Bo Xu got into the car, expressionlessly fastened his seatbelt, and stepped on the gas.
She glanced back.
Watching Yao Dingqi gradually disappear from the rearview mirror, he asked worriedly, "President Bo, is it really okay to offend our partners like this?"
She was his assistant.
Naturally, he knew better than anyone how much he had sacrificed for this project.
And now, he's actually giving up the collaboration for her...
Shen Zhiyi thought of the mimosa plant in the tea room, stared at his cold and sharp profile, and her heart couldn't help but pound.
Bo Xu did not answer.
He tightened his jawline and stepped on the gas with a cold and fierce expression.
The sports car sped by.
Shen Zhiyi was so frightened that she grabbed the safety handrail.
"Mr. Bo, please, please slow down..."
...
Yao Dingqi stood there, watching the black sports car gradually disappear, and kicked the roadside railing hard.
Yao Yanshan walked to his side and took off her sunglasses.
"elder brother……"
"You still have the nerve to call me brother?!" Yao Dingqi turned around angrily, pointing at her, "What can I possibly expect from you?"
"You couldn't even manage to drag Bo Xu along!"
"Now look what's happened! He's taken her away! I'll never be able to date her again!"
Yao Yanshan shrank her neck.
"There are so many women in the world, why do you have to compete with Bo Xu for her?" she said with some lingering fear. "He's a madman. How could he possibly give up something he's set his sights on to someone else?"
Yao Dingqi sneered, "You know him very well?"
Yao Yanshan fell silent immediately, pursing her lips and saying, "No..."
"You're talking nonsense!" Yao Dingqi took out his car keys, beeped, and turned to walk into the car. "The cooperation with Yuantu Technology has fallen through, and you have to bear the company's losses as well."
"Pack your things, get ready for the arranged marriage."
Yao Yanshan watched him get into the car, then turned her head and glanced at the Yuantu Technology building.
I feel a deep sense of sympathy.
In their past life, they partnered with Bo Xu, but not long after, Yuan Tu Technology profited from it, not only expanding rapidly but also swallowing up most of the similar companies, including the Yao family.
In order to survive, the Yao family was willing to give up their core technology in order to survive under his command. In order to maintain a balance of power, they packaged themselves and their technology together and gave them to Bo Xu.
It was said to be a gift, but it was actually a way of forcing him to accept it.
I thought he would treat me better out of respect for the Yao family.
Unexpectedly, he only cared about business and profit, and didn't care about the lives of others at all.
Later on, he became obsessed, spending all his time in his lab filled with code.
I only see him twice a year.
In order to protect the core technology, he also prevented her from having any contact with the outside world.
Yao Yanshan couldn't help but shudder at the thought of how obsessed he was with his experiments.
Let's arrange a marriage then.
Marrying anyone is better than getting entangled with Bo Xu.
She had had enough in her past life.
She gripped the bag strap tightly, turned, and left.

Bo Xu braked and stopped the car on the deserted side of the road.
He turned his head and looked at Shen Zhiyi, who was still in shock. Her small face was deathly pale, and she was huddled in her seat, feeling even more agitated.
He unbuckled his seatbelt, leaned in close, grabbed her chin, and locked his gaze on her with a deep intensity.
"Shen Zhiyi, are you very proud of yourself?" he said in a low voice.
Shen Zhiyi was stunned for a moment.
His sudden, intense breath was scorching her; she trembled slightly, lowered her eyelashes, and turned slightly to the side, trying to escape his grasp.
"Mr. Bo, I don't understand what you're saying..."
Bo Xu pinched her soft face with his fingertips, his gaze like a magnet, tightly drawing her lips.
In the cramped carriage, he smelled the rich, sweet scent of gardenias emanating from her, which stirred his blood and pores, and tugged at his shaky self-control.
It almost made him hate her.
Bo Xu increased the pressure, forcing her to look up. With no way to escape, he gritted his teeth and repeated, "Seeing me get closer to you again and again, unable to let you go, aren't you very proud of yourself, huh?"
His voice was low and deep, like a small hammer slowly tapping across Shen Zhiyi's heart.
She suddenly looked up.
Seeing his disheveled hair and the shadows covering half his face, and sensing a hint of affection in his loss of control, she couldn't help but fall for him as well.
"I...I didn't..."
My heart was pounding like a drum.
She gripped the hem of her skirt tightly with her fingertips, and a blush slowly crept up her cheeks.
"No?" Bo Xu's low, husky voice rang in my ears. "Then tell me, in what way am I inferior to him?"
Bo Xu originally thought he would be the one to back out easily.
But when he heard that Yao Dingqi had even sent his own sister to keep him occupied so that he could have dinner with her, he was both worried and anxious.
I don't think I've ever been that angry before.
He didn't realize that other people's coveting of her could make him so jealous.
I was so jealous that it felt like ants were crawling all over my body.
He convinced himself without much effort.
Why should he be the one to admit defeat?
In his 29 years of life, there has never been anything that made him willingly admit defeat.
Why should the person who abandoned her be him?
He looked at the silent person in front of him, his tone carrying a hint of command and interrogation, determined to force an answer out of her.
"Shen Zhiyi, speak."
"That Xiao Xu, what is it about him that I can't compare to?!"
Shen Zhiyi was startled and looked troubled.
How was she supposed to answer that?
But under his increasingly forceful questioning, he had no choice but to force a smile and reply, "Mr. Bo, you are very good... really very good..."
She glanced at him, then blurted out, "He is... he is younger than you..."
I'm going to die...
Shen Zhiyi closed her eyes, waiting for the storm to come.
Bo Xu remained silent for quite some time.
His face was grim, his oppressive aura intensified, and his voice, as if from hell, uttered in a low, eerie tone, "How old are you?"
“19…” Shen Zhiyi’s voice was barely audible.
Bo Xu almost laughed out of anger.
"Shen Zhiyi, you're not only trying to hook me, but you're also flirting with someone so young?"
"What does a greenhorn like him know?"
"And what can I give you?"
Shen Zhiyi opened her lips.
"He knows a lot..."
“And he…” she glanced at him quickly, “has a bright future.”
Do you like him that much?
Bo Xu suppressed his raging anger and the surging jealousy in his chest, grabbed her waist with one hand, and pulled her into his arms with a forceful pull.
The hand that was gripping her chin loosened its pressure and slowly caressed her. His rough thumb rubbed her lips, his Adam's apple bobbed, and he said in a hoarse voice, "Shen Zhiyi, want to try?"
Shen Zhiyi opened her eyes, her face full of confusion.
Bo Xu leaned down, bringing his lips close to hers, and whispered seductively, "I will not lose to anyone."
His nose touched hers, his gaze falling, carrying a deep, intimidating force.
"Dump him and be my girlfriend."
