The office was bright with light streaming in through the drawn curtains of the floor-to-ceiling windows, rendering the already spacious CEO's office even more luminous.
At that mont, Lin Yuluo stood by the window, hands clasped behind her back, absorbed in the view outside. She seed so focused that she didn't even turn around when Ling Zhenfei entered the room.
Glancing at her graceful silhouette, a faint, indescribable smile couldn't help but spill across Ling Zhenfei's lips. From the tranquil atmosphere of the mont, it seed he already sensed sothing, yet so things appeared truly not to be disturbed lightly.
"Yuluo, haha, I haven't seen you in days, and you've beco so adept. You even knew I was coming!"
Ling Zhenfei flopped onto the sofa, even carelessly propping up his leg in an easy-going manner, as he spoke.
"Not at all, my skills, however advanced, are surely no match for yours!" Lin Yuluo responded with a smile, turning around, her elegant body moving gracefully towards Ling Zhenfei to sit by his side.
However, while Lin Yuluo's voice sounded calm, there was an undertone of lancholy in her tone and expression that Ling Zhenfei thought he could detect.
Indeed, there was an elent of lancholy!
Ling Zhenfei was an exceptionally astute man. Although there had never been any explicit confessions between him and Lin Yuluo, and although she had never hinted at anything to him,
he understood that from the very first day they t, a subtle and indescribable affection seed to have sprung up between them.
Seeing the lancholic look in Lin Yuluo's eyes, Ling Zhenfei's heart skipped a beat, as if he had perceived sothing.
"Yuluo..."
He was about to speak when Lin Yuluo reached out her delicate hand first, gently pressing it to his lips, and whispered to him, "Zhenfei, although, I know that what's between us... may not be possible! But no matter what, I don't want you to leave . Nor do I want you to leave for another woman!"
Uh, this...
Now, it seed unnecessary for Ling Zhenfei to ask Lin Yuluo about the reason for bringing Yang Zixuan to headquarters. Lin Yuluo's soft words had already sufficiently conveyed her intentions!
She was telling Ling Zhenfei that she needed him but didn't want to share him with any other woman. And bringing Yang Zixuan to headquarters wasn't because she valued her skills, but rather out of the jealousy typical of a woman.
If possible, it seed Lin Yuluo would prefer to have Yang Zixuan dismissed from Lin Corporation!
Hearing this answer from Lin Yuluo, Ling Zhenfei found himself both helpless and at a loss for words.
As a man, while he wouldn't claim to fully understand won, he certainly knew well that a woman's jealousy could be more potent than the explosion of an atomic bomb.
If the mutual envy between won was unveiled, the outco would be undoubtedly frightening.
And he, indeed, had no desire to witness such an outco!
Ling Zhenfei knew Lin Yuluo very well. This strong woman who had endured many setbacks and still stood tall would never be swayed once she set her mind to sothing. Any explanation at this mont would be futile.
Moreover, regarding that ambiguous relationship between him and Yang Zixuan, even if Lin Yuluo were to give him a chance to explain, he couldn't make it clear.
With no other choice at hand, it seed that silence was the only option left for him.
"Zhenfei, there is no doubt about Yang Zixuan's talent, but no matter how talented she is, I will not allow her to take what rightfully belongs to ."
Even if Ling Zhenfei remained silent, Lin Yuluo could not afford to. At that mont, her tone was still full of resentnt, a resentnt that made Ling Zhenfei feel an inexplicable guilt.
"Yuluo, you've misunderstood. Actually, there's nothing between Zi Xuan and like what you're thinking..."
Witnessing Lin Yuluo's pitiful appearance, Ling Zhenfei didn't know what to say anymore. He opened his mouth to explain but suddenly realized that any explanation would seem feeble and la.
"If it isn't as I think, then what is it?"
As expected, the more Ling Zhenfei tried to explain, the less clear his explanations beca. Lin Yuluo's gaze towards him grew even more questioning and helpless, her voice seeming to be both an inquiry and a murmur to herself.
"This..." Ling Zhenfei started to speak but instantly knew it was a mistake.
Lin Yuluo was a woman with both high IQ and EQ; sotis the more he tried to explain, the more it backfired.
Ling Zhenfei was at a loss for words, and Lin Yuluo seed to have no intention of pressing for answers anymore. The two of them just looked at each other, silent for a long ti.
"Yuluo, has Du Kongting said sothing to you? Don't forget, that man is scheming..." After a long pause, Ling Zhenfei suddenly thought of sothing and asked Lin Yuluo.
He had always suspected that Du Kongting was up to mischief in the background, otherwise, with Lin Yuluo's EQ, she should have noticed the subtle ambiguity between himself and Yang Zixuan a long ti ago. Why had she never ntioned it before, only bringing it up now?
"Zhenfei, don't ask who told what. I'm not a fool, and I can see clearly with my own eyes," said Lin Yuluo calmly, turning her face away from Ling Zhenfei.
Seeing her reaction, Ling Zhenfei felt even more certain of his previous guess. It must have been Du Kongting, failing one plot and concocting another, continuously targeting the won around him, determined to get his revenge.
It seed he would have to adjust his previous plans and get rid of that old man as soon as possible!
Though playing the long ga was a feasible strategy, it was clear that Du Kongting, the big fish, was too cunning. It wouldn't be good if, in trying to catch the big fish, he ended up getting bitten instead!
"Sigh!" Faced with Lin Yuluo's words, Ling Zhenfei had no response but to heave a sigh.
After a long ti, he finally said gravely, "Yuluo, I have nothing to say about you transferring Zi Xuan to headquarters, but you shouldn't have listened to Du Kongting and imdiately sent her on a business trip. It's quite possible that Du Kongting might harm her."
"Du Kongting might harm her?" Lin Yuluo raised her head, her eyes looking dazedly at Ling Zhenfei.
Then, with a self-deprecating laugh, she said, "You're right, Du Kongting might harm her. You're concerned about her! But have you ever thought about when Du Kongting might harm ? Can't you give so of the concern you have for Yang Zixuan? I need care too!"
"This..."
Hearing Lin Yuluo's self-mocking words tinged with a hint of bla, Ling Zhenfei felt even more ashad and murmured, "I'm sorry, Yuluo, I..."
Indeed, Yang Zixuan and Lin Yuluo, both were won he cared about, and he would never allow either of them to be hurt.
