But if Ou Zihan still has genuine feelings for her, why doesn't he tell her the truth instead of lying to her? Is it because he's afraid she'll overthink things and feel sad again?
However, just when things seemed to be settling down, another wave of trouble arose. This time, the anonymous email incident has once again implicated Bai Zhi. This time, there are not only photos but also a letter, which is a letter that Bai Zhi wrote to Ou Zihan. What exactly will be written in the letter?
She was desperate to know, and she wondered if Ou Zihan would leave her after reading the letter. For a moment, she was terrified!
Her hands, holding the crayfish, were trembling uncontrollably. She was utterly panicked. Who was torturing her like this? Was it Bai Zhi? Or someone else? She felt like she was being driven crazy…
Immediately afterwards, Ou Zihan's voice rang out from inside the room, "I also have this photo. If someone deliberately wanted to do this, they could have stolen my photo and copied it. This doesn't prove anything."
Ou Zihan's magnetic voice was cold and indifferent, his handsome face remaining calm and composed as he analyzed the situation rationally. Luo Xiaoyi's tense mood eased slightly. Fortunately, Ou Zihan's stance was quite firm, immediately refuting one piece of evidence.
However, she still couldn't completely relax. After all, there was still a letter to worry about, and she was even more anxious about what it might contain. Her breathing became erratic with nervousness.
Immediately afterwards, she heard a 'ripping' sound. Through the crack in the door, she saw Ou Zihan tear open the letter. Ou Zihan took the letter out of the envelope and opened it.
She held her breath nervously, watching Ou Zihan's expression as he read the letter. This time, Ou Zihan's expression suddenly changed. He frowned, and his dark eyes seemed to hold a complex mix of emotions—sadness, panic, and even a bit of helplessness.
Luo Xiaoyi had never seen him with this expression in all the time they had been together. He had always been a very decisive man, doing whatever he wanted regardless of whether it was right or wrong. This time, however, he held his forehead with his large hand, hesitating for a long time, as if it were a life-or-death decision, making it so difficult for him to make a decision.
What exactly was written in that letter?
In an instant, Luo Xiaoyi felt her heart being torn apart, a dull ache spreading through her. She bit her lip, her fear growing stronger. Seeing Ou Zihan's pained and indecisive expression, was Ou Zihan really about to waver?
At this moment, the entire study seemed to be quiet except for the breathing of the three people inside and outside the door. Luo Xiaoyi's heart felt as if it was being gripped by a demon. How unbearable it was to wait for the other party's choice with such fear and trepidation. Every minute and every second felt like being fried in a pan of oil.
After a while, Ou Zihan picked up a lighter, lit it, and set the letter ablaze. The letter burned brightly, and he threw it into the trash can.
“Mo Nan, let’s leave it at that. Don’t investigate any further. I think this whole thing was a conspiracy from the beginning. Also, this matter should be kept secret. Don’t let Xiao Yi know. She’s been too tired lately, and I don’t want to cause her any more trouble.”
After much internal struggle, Ou Zihan finally came to a conclusion. He felt that the more he investigated the matter, the more he would be following the other party's wishes. For example, regarding this email, he could find the letter as soon as he investigated, which was clearly intentional, and was intended to sabotage his relationship with Xiaoyi. He made a decisive judgment.
"Yes, President," Mo Nan replied.
"Also, I have a strong feeling that something is wrong with what has happened recently. I have a feeling that the person who did these things is very scheming. Xiaoyi doesn't like having so many people around her. Please arrange four bodyguards to protect Xiaoyi secretly. I don't want anything to happen to her."
Ou Zihan made arrangements in an orderly manner. No matter how much someone tried to disrupt his thinking, the most important thing he had to do was to protect his little woman.
Hearing Ou Zihan's words, Luo Xiaoyi's sadness, panic, and fear vanished completely. Her heart was filled with warmth and she felt incredibly happy. It turned out that Ou Zihan was so devoted to her, and after much hesitation, he still chose to stand by her side.
"Yes, President, I'll take care of it right away." Mo Nan finished speaking and left. As soon as he opened the door, he saw Luo Xiaoyi standing there, stunned.
"Hello, Miss Luo, did you just get back?" Mo Nan greeted her warmly, though she actually wanted to know when she arrived and whether she had overheard everything.
"Yeah, I just got back. I brought some crayfish to Young Master Ou." Luo Xiaoyi pretended to know nothing to avoid embarrassment, as if she were an eavesdropper. It wouldn't be good for others to think that way.
Mo Nan left, and Luo Xiaoyi came in carrying a plate of spicy crayfish. He saw Ou Zihan sitting at her desk, reviewing documents.
"Zihan, I went to the food street today. Don't you like to eat? I brought some for you. Try some!" Luo Xiaoyi said gently as she placed a plate of crayfish on her desk.
"Little thing, you're still thinking about me while you're eating? Not bad, you've improved. Come on, peel it for me." Ou Zihan looked at her with doting eyes, stretched out his long arm, and she felt a tightening around her waist as Ou Zihan pulled her into his arms. She sat on Ou Zihan's strong thighs, and Ou Zihan's muscular long arms wrapped around her waist.
Her face flushed. Even though they were so close, she still blushed and her heart raced whenever she got close to him. She shyly lowered her head and peeled crayfish for him. After peeling a fresh, white crayfish, she held it to his lips. Ou Zihan's sexy, thin lips parted, and his clean, even teeth bit into the crayfish meat.
"Mmm, the food my wife brought is really delicious." He chewed slowly, a happy smile on his handsome face.
"Yes, I'm glad you like it, Zihan, thank you." Luo Xiaoyi thanked him for two reasons. One was for her help with the renovation of the food street, and the other was for his unwavering support when there were conflicts. This made her feel warm and happy.
"Thank me for what?" Ou Zihan raised an eyebrow, looking at her with deep eyes. What did this woman hear outside the door just now? He wondered.
"The food street, and that letter." Luo Xiaoyi spoke in the most direct way possible. Beating around the bush wasn't in her nature. She really wanted to know what the burned letter contained, so she brought it up.

"You heard everything? You little rascal, you're so naughty, you've even learned to eavesdrop?" Ou Zihan frowned almost imperceptibly. Although his voice was scolding, it was filled with deep affection. He hadn't wanted her to worry, but he hadn't expected her to hear everything so clearly.
"I wasn't eavesdropping. I overheard you while delivering crayfish. I saw you looking at that letter with a hesitant and complicated expression. What exactly did that letter say?" Luo Xiaoyi looked at his face and asked with an extremely serious expression. She wanted to know the truth because, at that moment, Ou Zihan had hesitated, and that moment had frightened her.
