Chapter 271 -

"Tonight, a fire broke out in the residence of a resident of the Qing-Ling sector. The fire was fierce and quick. Fortunately, the rescue was timely and no casualties were reported. The specific cause of the fire is still under investigation."

Mo Wanwan who was sitting cross-legged on the sofa was eating a box of ice cream with gusto. Looking at the time, it was almost midnight, she quickly put down what she was doing and turned down the volume with the remote control.

He quickly got up and ran to the window, lowered his head and looked at the floor.

At a height of over a hundred meters, everything below was extremely small. One could only see a rough outline, but to confirm it, it was very difficult.

After some thought, he still took out his phone and dialed a number. However, a ringtone came from a distance behind him.

Mo Wanwan was startled, but then the door opened. Shu Yao walked in with large strides and hung up the phone.

"Hey, why did you come back so late?" Mo Wanwan walked over and frowned, "You saw Li Chenxi again? The person downstairs just now, was it him? "

Shu Yao shook her head. She was a little tired and took off her high heels. Without changing her shoes, she sat on the sofa with her bare feet on the floor.

"Who is that?" Mo Wanwan chased relentlessly.

"Pei Shaoling." Shu Yao answered.

Mo Wanwan was shocked, "Pei Shaoling? Did he send you back? "

"Yes."

"Oh my god, it seems like he's still not giving up on you!" Mo Wanwan crossed her legs and continued to sit at the side, nagging like a little old lady.

Shu Yao leaned her head on the sofa tiredly, raised her hands and rubbed her temples, "I'm tired, I still have to go to the airport tomorrow to pick up Mobai and Xixi!"

"Then I'll go as well!" When Mo Wanwan was speaking, he seemed to have thought of something, a glint flashed in his eyes, and he suddenly said, "Don't you find it strange? This time when you returned home, Sean did not say much, and even let Mobai and Xixi go. "

Shu Yao opened her eyes, her beautiful eyes quickly sweeping across the complexity in her eyes, and only said, "From what you said, I'm just a worker in the Giant Boulder Company, a dignified CEO of the Sean Family, what are you holding my family back for?"

"You work?" Mo Wanwan retorted coldly as she shrugged and laughed, "You are Giant Stone's money moneymaker, I still feel that something is amiss. You have to be more careful!"

Mo Wanwan turned off the television, got up and returned to her bedroom.

As he walked past Shu Yao, he soothed her by patting her shoulder, his words were clear.

Even if she didn't say it, Shu Yao felt that something was wrong.

In these past few years, in order to make a living, and also give his daughter the best living, Shu Yao had to choose from tens of thousands of large enterprises, roam the business world, and circle one company after another. She was the manager of the shopping mall, as well as the controller and creator of the financial whirlpool.

In the end, it was seen through by the opponent once again. Although the business was successful, it had revealed everything about itself.

And that time, his opponent was Sean.

Currently, the CEO of the Giant Rock Group was also an illustrious person. Her strength was great and she was also extremely mysterious. Behind him, she was always shrouded in a thick fog, making it difficult for people to feel or see through him.

It had been a miscalculation on Shu Yao's part to provoke Sean, and it had also become her greatest regret.

As he could not afford to offend her, Sean had taken a liking to her ability and hired her to stay in Giant Rock Group with a high salary. He wanted to be her backer and use her power to gain more benefits for the company.

From then on, Shu Yao became a puppet in the hands of the huge boulder.

Sean's power far exceeded her imagination. She really couldn't afford to offend him, nor could she provoke him. All that was left was a temporary surrender.

This was also the main reason why she hadn't returned to see her son after five years.

But this time, she didn't understand. Sean actually agreed to let her go back home, and even agreed to let Xixi go with her.

What did that mean?

Whatever it meant, one thing was certain. Sean talked only about work, not relationships.

Even if they talked about relationships, it wouldn't be Shu Yao's.

She could tell that the man's heart was not something that an ordinary woman could control. Moreover, in Sean's eyes, there was nothing else but benefits.

He shook his head slightly. He wanted to throw these thoughts out of his mind and return to his bedroom, but he was not sleepy. He thought about whether it would be better to take a bath. When he came out of the bathroom, he became even more energetic.

If it was a normal day, Shu Yao would definitely go to the study room and take out her computer to work. She didn't want to miss any time, but at this moment, she didn't want to.

Her daughter would be back tomorrow, and she needed to be in good spirits to pick up Xixi in a good state.

He couldn't fall asleep no matter how he tossed and turned on the bed.

Fortunately, he put on a coat, went to the living room and poured himself a glass of red wine. After drinking it, he left the room.

Other than her and Mo Wanwan, there was no one else. Without much thought, she also went to the Sky Platform.

In the pitch-black night, on top of the tall building, the night breeze was slightly chilly.

It was so cold that Shu Yao had no choice but to wrap her jacket tightly around herself. She stood by the fence of the roof and looked down at the entire city's night scenery.

I wonder if that man is still at work at this hour

Maybe it was because she felt that something was off, or maybe it was something else, but Shu Yao stood there, completely immersed in her own thoughts, to the point that a voice suddenly came from behind her, scaring her out of her wits.

"It's so late, aren't you going to sleep?"

The deep male voice was full of magnetism, but in the dead of night, it was frightening.

Shu Yao was so frightened that her face turned pale. She turned around and looked over, "Who?"

A 'who' that almost had a trembling voice was enough to prove that she was truly frightened.

A warm voice, however, came from not too far away from her. It was faint, and seemed to carry a hint of ridicule. "You're so timid, yet you still dare to come here in the middle of the night?"

This time, Shu Yao heard the voice clearly and also looked at the tall figure under the pitch-black shadow of the moonlight.

However, there was still a bit of displeasure after the surprise, and she coldly replied. "Li Chenxi, how did you come up again?"

It had to be known, the entire top floor of the hotel was reserved by her and the security downstairs was to guard the place 24 hours a day. No guest or other person was allowed to enter without permission.

He couldn't have climbed up here, right?

This distance was hundreds of meters above the ground!

Li Chenxi stepped out from the shadows, his handsome figure was tall and straight, his resolute silhouette revealed a slight chill in the night, his deep gaze looked at her with deep meaning.

"Curious?"

Shu Yao frowned, "This is not a question of curiosity."

"What's that?" he asked.

She sighed. It seemed that the security guards downstairs should be changed tomorrow, so she raised her head to meet his gaze and only said, "It's so late, why is President Li here?"

"Look at me, is there something wrong or is there nothing wrong?" He walked forward, and lowered his head condescendingly. The deep eyes was bright, and the stars seemed to rise and fall.

Shu Yao lowered her eyes and avoided the question, "If there's anything you want to say, let's talk about it during the day!"

With that, he turned to leave.

When she passed by him, Li Chenxi grabbed her wrist. It wasn't by much, but it was enough to interrupt her advance.

Without waiting for her to struggle free in surprise, the man's strength increased a little and his large hand suddenly held her body tightly. He directly hugged her and looked at her with a profound gaze. "Why do you work at the Giant Stone?"
