"He asked you to come?" Qiao Xuan looked at Xu Yi suspiciously, "You are … Someone from the Xilin Family? "

Xu Yi's expression did not change much, and his tone was light as well: "Since I've told you this, then I won't hide anything. I'm not someone from Xilin Family, I'm just Xilin Fu's driver."

If that was the case, he should have arrived at Lan Xi not long ago, but Xilin Fu actually trusted him this much.

Qiao Xuan knew that all the people that Sheng Liang could stay by his side, must have their outstanding characteristics. But to be able to reach Xilin Fu's side in such a short period of time, Qiao Xuan couldn't help but have a whole new level of respect for him.

Lan Xi International was a company that started out with Xilin Family and was the cornerstone of their business empire. Therefore, even though it was no longer the main industry of Xilin Family, it still possessed the same level of strength as Golden Age.

The entire floor only had a circular office, and were entirely made up of transparent glass walls. Before they even entered, Qiao Xuan saw a woman in professional attire kneeling on the floor, cleaning up the scattered documents, while the person behind the desk was facing the window, with the back of the chair facing the door. had not even gone in yet, when he saw that she was wearing a professional attire.

"Seventh Elder, I've brought the Miss Qiao." Xu Yi and Qiao Xuan stood in the middle of the office, Xu Yi respectfully said to the person behind the desk.

Xilin Fu, who was sitting on the chair, did not turn around. Instead, he raised his finger and signaled for Xu Yi to leave.

Xu Yi slightly nodded. When he walked out, he did not look at Qiao Xuan either.

"Miss Qiao was willing to come, so I agreed." Xilin Fu still had his back facing Qiao Xuan, his voice a little hoarse.

Qiao Xuan snorted: "You're kidnapping."

Xilin Fu still had not said anything, but the woman who was kneeling on the ground earlier actually carried a pile of documents and stood up, and coldly said to Qiao Xuan: "You dare to speak to Seventh Elder like this, don't you want to live!"

Looking at the woman's actions just now, Qiao Xuan had thought that she was just a submissive little employee, but she dared to teach him a lesson in front of Xilin Fu. Furthermore, when she stood up, Qiao Xuan saw the name on her chest plate.

"Kidnapping, threatening, is this how you treat your guests?" Qiao Xuan shot a glance at the woman, and then returned her gaze to Xilin Fu. Although she could only see his shoulders and arms.

The woman laughed coldly, "So what? Don't you know what kind of place this is?"

Qiao Xuan frowned. He was just an assistant, yet he was this arrogant?

"Lena, you go out." Xilin Fu slowly turned around. The sunlight shone in from behind him, and his face seemed to be covered as if he was hiding in the shadows.

When the woman called Lina heard Xilin Fu's words, she immediately went out with her head lowered.

Xilin Fu crossed his legs and held his fingers together as he looked at Qiao Xuan: "Miss Qiao, please sit."

"No need. If you have something to say, just say it. Then, I'll leave." There was clearly a warm breeze in the room, but Qiao Xuan felt a chill behind her back. She did not want to stay here any longer, not even a second.

Xilin Fu seemed to be smiling, but his face was hidden in the shadows, and his expression could not be seen clearly: "Actually, I have admired Miss Qiao for a long time, why not, leave Sheng Liang and come to my side."

Qiao Xuan's heart suddenly shook. She had originally thought that Xu Yi was the only one who knew that she was brought here from Sheng Liang's room. It seems that her thinking was too simple.

"I only said that I can consider coming to Blue Brook to work. As for everything else …" Qiao Xuan held onto her last bit of hope that she had overthought things.

Xilin Fu finally stood up and walked towards Qiao Xuan one step at a time: "How do you know that this time, it's not Sheng Liang who's using you again.

Qiao Xuan looked at the man who was walking towards her and an alarmed cry almost left her throat. She saw that there was a long scar that ran from her forehead to her cheekbone on the rather handsome face that looked like a centipede.

"My face, did it scare you?" Xilin Fu suddenly leaned over, closing in on Qiao Xuan.

Qiao Xuan unconsciously swallowed, and then, he retreated a few steps. "Mr. Xilin, this has already exceeded the scope of our discussion."

Looking at her flustered expression, Xilin Fu straightened his body and revealed a playful smile: "Then let's continue discussing you and Sheng Liang. How sincere do you think he is to you, one point, or two points?"

Qiao Xuan dodged his gaze and slightly frowned: "This is between him and me …"

Before Qiao Xuan even finished speaking, Xilin Fu had already said: "Do you believe me? He now knows that you've disappeared, but he didn't look for you anywhere. Instead, he sat at home, waiting for news of you taking up the role of Lan Xi International."

Qiao Xuan's finger trembled slightly, but he maintained his expression as best he could: "This doesn't seem to have anything to do with work."

Xilin Fu smiled with some profound meaning: "So now, Miss Qiao has agreed to enter Lan Xi, right?"

Qiao Xuan felt like he was brought into a trap and she was the one who came here to help Sheng Liang in the first place.

"I don't think I have any other choice," Qiao Xuan sighed to himself, and politely smiled at Xilin Fu, "Now that we are done, can I leave?"

Xilin Fu nodded: "I'll get the driver to take you back."

Qiao Xuan immediately said: "No need, I'll call my own car."

Xilin Fu did not try to force it any further, and laughed: "Miss Qiao can go to work tomorrow, I will quietly wait here for you."

Xilin Fu had a smile on her face the entire time, but Qiao Xuan didn't feel anything special, she only felt a gloomy and cold feeling, especially the scar on his face, she didn't even dare look at it. She nodded and bid farewell to him, then Qiao Xuan immediately walked out, escaping from this suffocating place.

Qiao Xuan did not stop for a single word. She only started to pant heavily after they exited Lan Xi's room. Only then did her tensed mind gradually relax.

After stopping a taxi, Qiao Xuan hesitated for a moment, but in the end he still said the name of the inn.

It seemed like only that place was the only place she and Sheng Liang could go to.

Only now did Qiao Xuan feel that she seemed to have become his secret lover again. She could not bear to see the light of day, and did not dare to mention it to anyone.

She took out her phone and turned it on, seeing that a few missed calls were from Sheng Liang, but after one hour, she stopped calling them.

After getting off the car in front of the hotel, Qiao Xuan walked into the room in a daze. Outside of Sheng Liang's room, she took out the room card that he had left for her to open the door.

With such a familiar temperature and aura, she didn't even need to look to know who it was. Her hands slowly wrapped around his waist.
