After Xu Yan got off work, she still went to pick up Lin Xiao and got in the car. However, she did not talk to Lin Xiao as usual today and asked Lin Xiao how his day was at the company.

It was so abnormal that Lin Xiao noticed it clearly.

"What happened?" Lin Xiao asked.

Xu Yan was stunned for a moment: "Huh?" Then she responded: "It's okay."

It's just that her face didn't look like she was fine. She hadn't figured out how to tell Lin Xiao yet.

Lin Xiao clenched his fists, trying his best to restrain his desire to control Xu Yan.

After thinking for a moment, he raised Xu Yan's face, rubbed her delicate skin, and said: "Yanyan, tell me what you are thinking in your heart. Say it. If you don't say it, others will not know."

Xu Yan looked at Lin Xiao, never expecting that one day, Lin Xiao would use the words she said to talk about her.

But think about it, she has always asked Lin Xiao to believe her, but does she believe Lin Xiao?

Xu Yan hesitated for a moment and said, "The company wants to arrange for me to go on a business trip next week."

Lin Xiao's expression changed instantly, and his eyes gradually seemed to be covered with a layer of frost.

Xu Yan felt that the surrounding atmosphere was like the calm before the storm.

The storm is about to come and the wind is filling the building. Lin Xiao's hand was still on her face, his thumb swiping across her face.

"Lin Xiao," Xu Yan called out cautiously. At this moment, she felt as nervous as a criminal waiting for trial.

Lin Xiao saw the caution in her eyes.

"Where to go?" Lin Xiao asked.

Xu Yan said: "Jincheng."

"A few days."

"Three days."

Lin Xiao's hand stopped moving. After a while, he straightened the broken hair around Xu Yan's ears, and then said, "Okay, when are you leaving?"

Xu Yan said: "Next Wednesday." After saying that, she realized what Lin Xiao had said: "Do you want me to go on a business trip?" Xu Yan's eyes suddenly lit up.

Lin Xiao put down his hand and said: "Yanyan, I remember everything you said. I want to participate in your life, and I will no longer control your life."

Xu Yan hugged Lin Xiao and said, "Lin Xiao, I love you."

Lin Xiao didn't expect Xu Yan's reaction to be so big. He hugged Xu Yan and asked, "Just because I agreed to your business trip?"

Xu Yan shook her head: "No."

"What is that?" Lin Xiao asked.

Xu Yan said: "Because you are really changing for our future."

If it had been before, Lin Xiao would never have let her go.

Then Xu Yan would have a big quarrel with him because of this, but how could Lin Xiao care about the quarrel in the past.

"Lin Xiao, let's go out to eat tonight." Xu Yan said.

"Okay." Lin Xiao said dotingly.

"Then let's go to the restaurant we went to last time. The food there is pretty good." Xu Yan said.

Lin Xiao told the driver the address.

After the two arrived, there were still many people in the restaurant, but Lin Xiao had a special private room in this restaurant, so he didn't have to worry about not having a seat.

They walked into the restaurant and were immediately greeted by a waiter.

He took them directly into the private room. As they passed through the corridor, two men walked across from them.

One of them was an old acquaintance. Xu Yan looked at Shen Yu. Shen Yu seemed to have become a different person after not seeing each other for just two months.

The last time we met, she was high-spirited and proud, but today, although she tried her best to hide it, it was still easy to see the haggard look on her face.

During this period of time, Shen Yu was probably exhausted mentally and physically. What he needed most now was money.

But the money he needs is not a small amount, and it cannot be collected overnight.

"Hey, isn't this Mr. Lin?" The man walking next to Shen Yu immediately stepped forward with a smile and said hello after seeing Lin Xiao.

Lin Xiao's expression did not change, and he said in a cold tone: "Mr. Xiao."

"It's an honor for Mr. Lin to remember me." Mr. Xiao seemed very happy that Lin Xiao could recognize him.

Xu Yan stood aside, her eyes falling on Shen Yu.

She watched Shen Yu change his face when he saw Mr. Xiao's enthusiastic attitude towards Lin Xiao. Xu Yan didn't know Mr. Xiao, but she felt that Mr. Xiao seemed to be very important to Shen Yu.

Lin Xiao didn't chat with Mr. Xiao for long. He just said hello briefly and took Xu Yan away.

When passing by Shen Yu, Shen Yu's eyes were like a poisoned knife, glaring at them fiercely.

Xu Yan was not timid at all. After her rebirth, the person she was least afraid of was Shen Yu, not to mention Lin Xiao.

Shen Yu watched them walking by and opened his mouth to say something, but in the end he said nothing.

-

"What did Mr. Xiao do just now?" Xu Yan asked Lin Xiao after entering the private room.

Lin Xiao said: "Investment, finance, loan sharking."

"Loan sharking? So Shen Yu is with him... Is Shen Yu already asking for loan sharking?" Xu Yan asked.

Lin Xiao said in an unhurried voice: "The Shen family is in urgent need of liquidity, otherwise it will be declared bankrupt within three months."

"There are still three months." Xu Yan murmured, with pity in her tone.

Lin Xiao saw her reaction and asked after a while: "Why do you hate Shen Yu so much, just because he uses you?"

Xu Yan's hatred for Shen Yu has exceeded the normal range. She is not Lin Xiao. If she were Lin Xiao, if others took advantage of him, he would be able to kill them.

But according to Xu Yan's character, just being used, such hatred has exceeded her nature.

Lin Xiao understands Xu Yan, and it is precisely because he understands that he cannot understand her.

Xu Yan knew that Lin Xiao would have this question one day. This was what she was struggling with at the beginning, whether to tell her about her revenge against Shen Yu.

Because this matter cannot be explained clearly in one or two sentences.

And according to Lin Xiao's character, even if she explained, she still didn't know whether the outcome would be good or bad, so she didn't dare to gamble, especially after her relationship with Lin Xiao became better.

However, Lin Xiao must be given an answer.

Xu Yan thought for a moment and said, "Because I had a dream."

"Dream?" Lin Xiao frowned and asked.

Xu Yan nodded, and then said: "Yes, it was a very real dream. In the dream, I was used by Shen Yu without knowing it, which later caused an irreversible situation. In the end, I was killed by him. Although it was just a dream, it was too real. Yes, and I think according to Shen Yu’s character, he can really do those things.”

After Xu Yan finished speaking, she looked at Lin Xiao, feeling uneasy. He knew that her words were full of loopholes, but she was not ready to show her cards to Lin Xiao yet.

If you can't guarantee that things are under control, you won't dare to try boldly.

After listening to Xu Yan's words, Lin Xiao looked at her with a worried face and said, "Did you dream about me?"

"Ah?" Xu Yan was caught off guard by Lin Xiao's reaction.

She had thought about Lin Xiao's reaction to her words, suspicion, suspicion, or maybe thinking that she was perfunctory and angry.

However, Lin Xiao's response to her was to ask her if she had dreamed about him.

Xu Yan nodded, and Lin Xiao asked again: "Then what do I look like in your dream?"

Xu Yan said: "You died because of me."

"So, your revenge against Shen Yu is also for me?" Lin Xiao asked.

Xu Yan finally couldn't help it: "Don't you think it's ridiculous for me to target Shen Yu because of a ridiculous dream?"

"Yanyan, just do whatever you want. If you can't do it, it's me." Lin Xiao said.

Xu Yan was a little shocked by Lin Xiao's unconditional defense of her.

"Lin Xiao, do you like me now or me before?" Xu Yan asked.

Lin Xiao said: "You."

"Yes, me, am I still the same person I was before?" Xu Yan repeated.

Lin Xiao also repeated: "It's you, whether it's before or now, as long as it's you."

Xu Yan suddenly felt a little sorry for Lin Xiao's affection.

Because she couldn't do it, she didn't like Lin Xiao in the past, and she couldn't be like Lin Xiao.

If Lin Xiao was still the same Lin Xiao as before, Xu Yan couldn't guarantee that she would be able to fall in love with him.

When Xu Yan came back from rebirth, her softening of attitude towards Lin Xiao was not love. She knew that even before her rebirth, she saw Lin Xiao's deep love for her from a third party's perspective as a wandering soul.

But she didn't fall in love with Lin Xiao, and coming back was just a compromise, because she knew she was destined to be unable to escape and was destined to be entangled for the rest of her life.

She didn't want to repeat the ending before her rebirth, so she accepted her fate. She just compromised. She just didn't want to get hurt again.

And she fell in love with Lin Xiao because after Lin Xiao changed, she still yearned for freedom, was still unfettered, and still didn't want to be anyone's accessory.

Lin Xiao has always been very sensitive to Xu Yan, so he immediately caught the changes in Xu Yan's eyes.

Xu Yan's eyes were apologetic, why did she look at herself like this.

Lin Xiao suddenly felt that Xu Yan seemed to have something very important that she had not told him, and it was something that could not be said easily, and it might change their relationship.

Lin Xiao suddenly hesitated. He wanted Xu Yan to tell everything, but he was afraid that what Xu Yan had not said would change their current relationship.

I'm afraid no one would believe that he, Lin Xiao, would be afraid of such a thing.

How can you like darkness if you have received sunlight?

In the end, Xu Yan didn't say it. She thought that even if she wanted to say it, she would have to find a suitable time.

At least not here.

Before the dishes were served, Xu Yan went to the bathroom. When she came out, she was blocked at the door.

The person blocking her was Shen Yu, and Xu Yan was instantly on guard.

"Xu Yan, did you know this a long time ago?" Shen Yu stood in front of Xu Yan and asked directly.

Now that the distance is closer, Xu Yan can clearly see the fatigue on Shen Yu's face.

His eyes were bloodshot, his eyes were blue, and his shirt collar was wrinkled.

"I don't know what you said." Xu Yan said.

Shen Yu didn't listen to Xu Yan's words and said to himself: "No, this is your game. It was calculated by you and Lin Xiao. Xu Yan, you have been in love with Lin Xiao for a long time. You lied to me, you Betray me and help Lin Xiao plot against me."

Shen Yu spoke louder and louder, and the expression on his face became more ferocious.

Xu Yan looked at Shen Yu at this time, like a wolf at the end of its rope, roaring for the last time.

"I don't know what you're talking about." Xu Yan continued to deny. She would not admit it or give Shen Yu an excuse.

"You don't know?" Shen Yu growled: "All the projects you gave me are in trouble now, and you told me you didn't know. Xu Yan, do you think I believe it?"
