Mr. Liang, you mustn't covet other people's fiancées!

The wind was strong in the depths of winter, whipping up the hems of their coats and making them flutter loudly.

Jiang You pursed his lips tightly: "And what about you?"

"Can you guarantee that you can successfully fight against the family and bring happiness to Wen Li?"

Liang Chaoxu's gaze passed over him and went straight to Wen Li, who had already boarded the car, his expression firm and unwavering.

“Ding Di—”

The cars blocked behind honked their horns one after another, urging each other on.

Jiang You hummed softly and turned to walk towards his car.

Yan Jin, sitting in the driver's seat, tentatively called out, "President Liang?"

Liang Chaoxu withdrew his gaze, opened the car door, and got in.

The two cars started one after the other, and after exiting the airport expressway, they each went their separate ways.

Since returning from his business trip, Jiang You has been working in the design department director's office every day. He's ostensibly taking over the director's duties temporarily.

That afternoon, Tian Miao peeled a pear for Wen Li.

"It's so sweet, and it's also good for your throat."

Wen Li lay listlessly on the cushion, saying, "You eat, I have no appetite."

Tian Miao frowned, put down the pear in her hand, took a tissue to wipe her hands clean, and then placed it on Wen Li's forehead to check her temperature: "You don't have a fever, what's wrong?"

Wen Li casually made up a story: "It might be a side effect of the business trip."

She didn't know what was wrong with her. Ever since returning from her business trip, she had felt extremely tired, listless, and unable to muster any energy for anything.

For the first two days, she thought it might be due to Liang Chaoxu's excessive activity that night, and that it would be fine in a few days.

But a few days later, it was still the same, which scared her so much that she quickly bought a pregnancy test and tested herself. Only after confirming that she was not pregnant did she feel relieved.

For the past two weeks, she has been trying to adjust, but the results have not been obvious. She hasn't even delivered on her promise to make Jiang You a nourishing meal to replenish his qi and blood.

"What nonsense are you talking about?" Tian Miao stood up and massaged Wen Li's shoulders. "I think you're just tired. I'll use my own technique to massage you and you'll feel better."

Wen Li is ticklish, especially when someone touches her shoulders and neck. She grabbed Tian Miao's hand and laughed, "Miao Miao, stop touching me, it tickles!"

Seeing her smile, Tian Miao wasn't about to let it go so easily, and continued pinching: "So this is where your ticklish spot is."

Wen Li was so itchy that she begged for mercy.

As the two were joking around, the assistant came in from the door, went straight to Wen Li's workstation, and tapped the table with his index finger: "Team Leader Wen, President Jiang is looking for you."

Wen Li raised her head, glanced at the assistant, then turned to exchange a look with Tian Miao. Only then did she get up and follow the assistant upstairs.

She had just entered the CEO's office when Jiang You arrived right behind her.

Jiang Gu saw him and her face darkened: "Don't you have anything to do?"

"I'm coming up to your office to rest for a bit," Jiang You said, sitting down on the sofa and closing his eyes. "You go ahead and talk, don't worry about me."

Jiang Gu raised his hand and pinched the bridge of his nose, then said to Wen Li, "I am fully aware of what happened in Hangzhou, and the company supports your handling of the situation. If you need any further assistance from the lawyers, please contact the legal department directly."

Wen Li was surprised. How could a mere team leader like herself have the honor of receiving a personal talk from the CEO?

After a brief moment of distraction, she smiled and thanked him, "Okay, thank you, Mr. Jiang."

Hearing this, Jiang You, sitting on the sofa, slightly raised the corners of his lips.

Jiang Gu glanced at Jiang You: "In addition, the cross-border logistics park project has now entered the formal implementation stage. Your department can start preparing for the resort project and strive to complete the due diligence report before the Spring Festival holiday."

"Resort!" Jiang You suddenly opened his eyes, turning to look at Jiang Gu. "Is it the one in Jingyue?"

"What kind of behavior is this, all jumpy and easily startled?" Jiang Gu was truly worried about her younger brother, who was completely lacking in composure in front of the girl he liked.

To his surprise, when he looked up, Wen Li was also full of astonishment.

Jiang Gu took a deep breath and slowly exhaled: "Yes."

Wen Li and Jiang You were both stunned for a moment.

"Who's in charge of Jingyue?" Jiang You asked Jiang Gu, looking at Wen Li's profile.

"Their investment director."

Upon hearing this, Wen Li and Jiang You both breathed a sigh of relief.

Fortunately.

Jiang Gu glanced at the two of them, then waved his hand and said, "Alright, you two can go now. I'm going to take a nap."

The two left the CEO's office together and headed towards the elevator.

Jiang You smiled brightly: "Could you treat me to a nourishing meal after get off work today?"

Wen Li felt relieved and replied with a smile, "Absolutely no problem."

"Can we order food now?"

"Can."

"bite--"

Hearing the elevator doors open, the two of them turned to look at the elevator at the same time.

"I'm at your door." Liang Chaoxu came out while making a phone call and paused slightly when he saw the two people at the elevator entrance.

Jiang You instantly wiped the smile off his face, his tone cold and indifferent: "Brother Chaoxu."

Liang Chaoxu hummed in agreement and glanced at Wen Li beside him. For the past two weeks, she had truly kept her word and hadn't let him know a single thing.

"President Liang," Wen Li greeted him calmly, then lowered her eyes and looked away. It wasn't for any other reason than that she felt it was better not to look at him, so as to avoid thinking about him and getting annoyed when she had free time.

"Okay." Liang Chaoxu nodded and walked straight past the two of them.

Jiang You glanced back at him, then continued talking to Wen Li: "I want to eat sweet and sour pork ribs."

Wen Li stepped into the elevator: "Okay."

Upon hearing this, Liang Chaoxu, who was walking briskly toward Jiang Gu's office, suddenly slowed down. His fingers gripping his phone tightened involuntarily, causing the veins on the back of his hand to bulge noticeably.

The elevator doors slowly closed, and Wen Li only saw Liang Chaoxu's back as he turned and walked into the office.

Tall and upright, clean and neat.

As she looked away, Wen Li suddenly remembered the parent-teacher conference that summer.

Liang Chaoxu attended as Song Yu's uncle. When it was his turn to speak, the previously quiet audience suddenly stirred as parents inquired about his identity.

Upon learning that he not only came from a wealthy family but was also a graduate of Beijing Airlines' undergraduate-graduate program, everyone whispered their praises, calling him a bright and outstanding young man.

Song Yu then leaned over and said to her with a proud look on his face, "My uncle is a man with a good family background, good education, and good looks. My future aunt will definitely be someone who is a good match for him."

She had just received the city's Olympic gold medal and was focused on reading extracurricular books, so she didn't remember Song Yu's words at all. But for some reason, she suddenly remembered them today.

Wen Li shook her head, clearing her mind of the jumbled thoughts, and unconsciously curved her lips into a smile.

Fortunately, he had self-awareness.

Even now, she still feels that it was the right thing to do to get away from him as soon as possible.

In the president's office, Jiang Gu was so shocked by Liang Chaoxu's words that he stood up.

"Are you crazy? That's the Chen family, who can control everything in Jingzhou City."

Liang Chaoxu held his teacup, inhaling the aroma, a faint smile playing on his lips: "I'm just preparing for a rainy day, just in case."

Jiang Gu sat down again, his face serious: "What exactly triggered you?"

Liang Chaoxu smiled without saying a word, but the image of that day in front of the terminal building, when he hadn't had a chance to answer Jiang You's question, flashed through his mind.

"Actually, I started fighting it five years ago. By now, I'm about 70-80% confident."

Now, all my schemes and plans are for her.
