n“President Lu.” Shen Yuechuan knocked on the door of the president’s office. “Miss Xia is here.”

nLu Boyan looked up and saw Shen Yuechuan and Xia Mili. He gave Shen Yuechuan a look without a trace.

nAfter so many years of tacit understanding, Shen Yuechuan immediately understood what Lu Boyan meant and chose to stay in Lu Boyan’s office.

nLu Boyan greeted Xia Mili and motioned for her to sit down.

nDaisy came in with two cups of coffee. Seeing that Shen Yuechuan didn’t intend to leave, she gladly offered him a cup of coffee too.

nThe door of the office was wide open, and there was a third party in the room—Lu Boyan was obviously trying to avoid the suspicion of being with Xia Mili!

nDaisy’s feeling could be described in one word—Cool!

nXia Mili naturally understood everything, but she was smart enough that she didn’t say anything about it.

nShe sat upright on the sofa, took a sip of coffee, and said, “Boss Lu, before we talk about business, I want to converse with you about the photos on the Internet first.”

n“There’s nothing worthy to talk about,” Lu Boyan said calmly. “We all know that it’s just a misunderstanding.”

n“I’m very sorry,” Xia Mili said, “I shouldn’t have been drunk that day, and I shouldn’t have pestered you in the hotel. But I really didn’t mean to vomit on you.”

n“I know. As for getting drunk, I can’t blame you,” Lu Boyan said, “I’ve already asked someone to investigate who took the photos and how they were uploaded to the Internet. There should be an answer soon.”

nXia Mili nodded. “It’s in our best interest to find it out as soon as possible. I also want to know who did these things and what his purpose is.”

n“The photos have already affected me. You don’t have to worry. I will deal with it.” Lu Boyan looked at Xia Mili indifferently. “Do you have any ideas or suggestions?”

nXia Mili shook her head apologetically. “I’ve been abroad for too long. And I’m not familiar with the domestic media’s rules at all. So, I’ll leave it to you. I believe in you.”

nFrom the beginning to the end, Xia Mili’s performance looked quite normal. It seemed that she really didn’t know what was going on with those photos, and it appeared that she was not involved in the exposure of them.

nLu Boyan kind of hoped that Xia Mili was not acting, or…

nThere was a flash of killing intent in Lu Boyan’s eyes, but on the surface, he still looked polite and distant. “When the results come out, I will tell you right away.”

n“Okay. There’s something… I don’t know if I should ask.” Xia Mili hesitated. “You said that this matter had already affected you. Did… did it affect your relationship with your wife? If so, I’m terribly sorry.”

nLu Boyan smiled. “My wife and I aren’t so distrustful of each other.”

nXia Mili hid her disappointment and said, “Oh, then what do you mean by the impact? It’s just a misunderstanding. Can’t you explain it to your wife?”

n“How is it possible that I can’t explain it clearly?” The first half of Lu Boyan’s voice was still full of love, but when it came to the latter half of the sentence, his voice gradually cooled down. “It’s just that I don’t want such a misunderstanding to happen.”

nIt was only then that Xia Mili realized that Lu Boyan’s feelings for Su Jian’an had reached the point of bearing no defects

nEven if it was just a misunderstanding, which could be explained easily, he could not tolerate it.

nHow much did he love that woman?

nThere was obviously something going on in Xia Mili’s heart, but on the surface, she still looked calm. “I’m relieved that you can explain it to your wife. Let’s talk about work, shall we?”

n“As for the cooperation, I’ll leave it to Yuechuan for the time being,” Lu Boyan said. “Before I take over the project again, you can talk to Yuechuan about all of it.”

nNot only Xia Mili, but even Shen Yuechuan was shocked.

n“When did he hand it to me? Why don’t I know anything about it?” Shen Yuechuan thought to himself.

n“What the f*ck—f*king damn!”

nAlthough he was roaring in his heart, on the surface, Shen Yuechuan looked like, “Yes, this project already belongs to me.” He made a gentleman’s gesture of “please” and said, “Miss Xia, let’s go to the conference room to talk.”

nXia Mili didn’t react in time.

nIt was understandable to her that Lu Boyan kept the door of the office open and let Shen Yuechuan be there—Lu Boyan had to avoid being gossiped about his relationship with her.

n“But now, he even handed over the project to Shen Yuechuan?”

n“What’s the position of Shen Yuechuan? He is just an assistant!”

nXia Mili did not move, and her expression gradually became unpleasant. “Boss Lu, I understand why you did this. But, isn’t this too irresponsible? Special Assistant Shen is just your assistant. If he is in charge of the cooperation and management of the new project between Lu Enterprises and the MR Group, it will arouse suspicion when the news is widespread, won’t it? Happy cooperation requires cooperation between both sides!”

n“Yuechuan is my assistant. I know better than anyone how capable he is.” Lu Boyan’s face darkened. “You doubt his ability, which means… you doubt me?”

nXia Mili was stunned, and a trace of panic flashed across her face. “I didn’t mean that…”

n“I understand why you have such concerns.” Lu Boyan said, “Yuechuan is in charge of the project for the time being. If you or anyone else in MR have any dissatisfaction, I can take over the project again.”

nIn this way, Lu Boyan had already made a concession.

nXia Mili didn’t know what to say, so she could only agree. “Okay.”

nShe got up and followed Shen Yuechuan out. When she was about to reach the door of the office, Lu Boyan suddenly added,

n“I forgot to tell you that it won’t take long before Yuechuan becomes the vice president of Lu Enterprises.”

nXia Mili looked at Shen Yuechuan in surprise and immediately smiled. “I’ve heard that Mr. Shen is competent. Now it seems that it’s true. I can rest assured that Mr. Shen will be in charge of the project.”

nShen Yuechuan smiled modestly. “Miss Xia, the meeting room is this way—”

nOn the way to the conference room, Shen Yuechuan was silently cursing Lu Boyan.

nOthers couldn’t see it, but it was obvious to him that Lu Boyan must have done it on purpose!

n“Does he think he can force me to get promoted in this way?”

n“Huh, does he think that all those years of working with him are useless?”

nHe had plenty of ways to deal with him!

nXia Mili just felt that Shen Yuechuan didn’t seem to be very happy and thought that he might be angry about her words just now. She apologized and said, “Special Assistant Shen, I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to deny you just now.”

n“Hmm?” Shen Yuechuan’s and Xia Mili’s thoughts were totally different. After half a second, he realized what she was talking about. He smiled and said, “What did you say just now? I’m sorry, I have forgotten.”

nWhen he smiled, it couldn’t be more lethal.

nHe was an elegant hooligan and an evil gentleman. It was perfect to use such contradictory words to describe Shen Yuechuan.

nThe most important thing was that the whole process of communicating with him could be very pleasant.

nXia Mili smiled. “I finally know why others say that if you want to deal with Lu Boyan, you’ll have to start with Shen Yuechuan.”

nFirst, Shen Yuechuan was easy to get along with.

nSecondly, his relationship with Lu Boyan was really unusual. His words were more important than anyone else’s.

nShen Yuechuan just smiled and pushed open the door of the small conference room. “Come in, please.”

nBy the time they finished their discussion, it was already noon. After he finished lunch in a hurry, it was another busy afternoon waiting for him.

nWhen Shen Yuechuan was about to get off work, he received a call from Henry, who told him that the results of his examination had come out.

nHe asked directly, “How is it?”

nAfter a moment of silence, Henry said, “Come to the hospital first. Let’s talk face to face.”

nThe hidden meaning was very obvious—his condition was not very ideal.

nShen Yuechuan lowered his voice. “Okay.”

nHe soon arrived at the hospital, and Henry placed the report of the examination in front of him. He said with a serious look, “Yuechuan, your condition has begun to worsen.”

n“…”

nIt was obviously the expected answer, but Shen Yuechuan still felt dizzy and everything was dark in front of him.

nHe continued to say, “Although it’s not very obvious, in the following time, the symptoms will attack you more frequently. If it’s convenient for you, stay in the hospital and start your treatment from now on so that I can acquire your latest condition at any time.”

nShen Yuechuan shook his head. “Not yet.”

nHenry still wanted to persuade him, but was stopped by the gesture of his hand.

nHe closed his eyes, quickly operating his brain. Soon afterward, he had arranged everything in his mind, saying, “I will fully cooperate with the treatment, but right now, there is no need for me to stay in the hospital. Also, don’t tell anyone about this matter. Henry, I cherish my life too, but in terms of time, I have my own plans.”

nHenry said helplessly, “Well, I respect your own choice.”

nAfter leaving the hospital, Shen Yuechuan stayed in the car for a long time before he calmed himself down. When he was about to call the driver to drive, his phone suddenly rang.

nHe thought it was a call from work, but the screen showed Xiao Yunyun’s name.

nIf there was nothing special, Xiao Yunyun wouldn’t call him.

nHe picked up the phone without hesitation. Xiao Yunyun’s anxious voice came from the phone. “Shen Yuechuan, where are you?”

nShen Yuechuan told her the address close to the hospital and asked, “What’s wrong?”

n“I’m at MiTime, and Qin Han… is in a fight.”

n“What’s going on?” As he said that, Shen Yuechuan had already asked the driver to head to MiTime bar.

n“I can’t explain it clearly for now, but the manager said that those people knew you.” Xiao Yunyun’s intention was very obvious—she wanted Shen Yuechuan to stop the fight.

n“I’ll be there in about 15 minutes.” Shen Yuechuan said, “Whether they fight or not, you should stay away from them. Don’t get involved, and don’t interfere. If someone makes trouble for you, just tell them that you are Su Yicheng and Lu Boyan’s cousin. Do you hear me?”

n“I heard you clearly.” Xiao Yunyun’s voice became weaker and weaker.

nOnly now did Shen Yuechuan remember that Xiao Yunyun might have never seen a fight in her life, let alone a fight involving her boyfriend.

nHis voice became gentle. “Don’t be afraid. I’ll be there in a minute.”

nXiao Yunyun was silent for a moment before she said softly, “Hmm.”

nShen Yuechuan hung up the phone and urged the driver to drive faster.

nOut of curiosity, the driver asked, “Special Assistant Shen, is it your girlfriend’s call?”

nShen Yuechuan was surprised. “Why did you ask?”

nThe driver laughed and said, “The tone of your speech just now seemed to tell me that you were talking to your girlfriend.”

nShen Yuechuan was stunned and suddenly fell into silence.

nIn the face of Xiao Yunyun, at the critical moment, he still couldn’t control himself and accidentally exposed himself.

nFortunately, Xiao Yunyun was in a panic, or she was very worried about Qin Han, so she couldn’t detect the strangeness in his tone.

nOtherwise, it would be awkward when they met.

n“No.” Shen Yuechuan denied. “It’s Boss Lu’s cousin. She has run into some trouble, so you should take me to MiTime as soon as possible to stop the fight before it gets worse.”

n“Okay!”

nThe driver stepped on the accelerator, and the white Land Rover sped up in the direction of the bar…
