She was fired after she refused to be the CEO's dog licker.

"What? She ran away again? Where did she go?" I was shocked by Xi Ying's words.

I expected Feng Wenting to be in a bad mood after the video conference with Mr. X, but I didn't expect her to be so angry that she would leave the company.

"Anyway, I never saw her return to her workstation." Xi Ying paused here, moved closer to me, and lowered her voice. "But this time is different. Professor Yan didn't chase her out to coax her. He stayed in his office the whole time. The phone rang again and again, but he never answered it."

What surprised me even more was that Yan Dong didn’t chase after Feng Wenting to coax her.

Yan Dong actually dotes on Feng Wenting. When Feng Wenting liked him unilaterally before, he took good care of her, so Feng Wenting has always been a spoiled and arrogant young lady.

Now the two are together. Although Yan Dong's EQ is sometimes not online, I can see that he actually cares about Feng Wenting's feelings more than before. The two of them are together not only to make progress in their careers together, but also to have a deeper loving and sweet relationship.

Feng Wenting ran out sad and frustrated this time. How could her future fiancé Yan Dong not go out with her to comfort her?

He didn't even answer the phone. Wouldn't this make Feng Wenting even more sad?

What if she gets emotional and wants to quit the project?

I was very anxious, so I went straight to find Yan Dong after I came out.

At that time, Yan Dong was working in front of the computer, very focused. It was not until I walked to his desk and tapped it gently that he suddenly looked up, then smiled with joy, and said gently, "Nan Xu, why are you here?"

"Is it okay if I don't come?" I glared at him in a deliberate way, then sat down directly opposite him. "Don't be angry with Wen Ting anymore. Go and coax her back. This is a critical period for the project, and we can't do without her."

"So you came for her. I thought Nan Xu came to comfort me." Yan Dong's tone was still gentle, but there was a hint of loss on his face.

He looked at me quietly, his gentle eyes reflecting my face, yet turbulent.

I can't keep looking at you.

I quickly looked away and smiled to hide my embarrassment: "Why do you need comfort too? I thought Wen Ting was the one who needed comfort the most."

"It seems that Nan Xu has a grudge against me because of Wen Ting." Yan Dong's tone was like a sigh, "It's my fault. I shouldn't have agreed to Wen Ting's confession out of temporary gratitude. Now I have made one wrong step and then another. I am getting further and further away from my original dream..."

His words were incomprehensible. I was confused and even more bewildered: "Yandong, what are you talking about?"

"I mean, I regret it." Yan Dong suddenly clenched his fingers and emphasized his tone, "I regret Nan Xu, I regret that I was not firm in my will at the beginning, and I completely lost myself after being rejected by you, gave up my perseverance and let my family arrange it. I regret that I was moved by Wen Ting's enthusiasm and agreed to be with her. I also regret that I was too strict with my identity and responsibilities, because taking care of her feelings went against my will... I regret too much."

Yeah, I understand.

Yan Dong said that his being with Feng Wenting was not purely voluntary, and a big part of the reason was that I rejected him, which caused him to become depressed.

He also said that he and Feng Wenting had to give in again and again and were not happy together.

He also said he regretted...

"How can you regret this! Yan Dong, don't talk nonsense!" I interrupted him without even thinking, "It's not easy for two people to be together, not to mention that you have already reached the stage of discussing marriage. Wen Ting just has a little temper, but she is actually a very good person. Don't give up just because you are in a bad mood!"

It is not tiring for men and women to work together, but the possibility of a man and a woman who have been together and then separate can continue to work together is very low.

I dare to assert that after Yan Dong and Feng Wenting break up, one of them will definitely leave the project team.

I can't accept this result.

Besides, even though Yan Dong was speaking sincerely at this moment, I could see clearly that he was just in a bad mood and was just complaining to me, and he didn't really want to break up with Feng Wenting.

Sure enough, as soon as I finished speaking, Yan Dong showed a painful and struggling expression on his face: "Nan Xu, do you think Wen Ting is very good? Don't you mind her competing with you? Don't you mind her stopping me from visiting you in the hospital? Don't you mind her embarrassing you in public?"

"Of course I don't mind." I gave Yan Dong a straightforward affirmative answer, "If I minded, I wouldn't keep her in the project team, and I wouldn't come to you."

There was a light in Yan Dong's eyes, as if he was surprised, or moved, and his lips moved slightly: "Nan Xu, you are still the same as I liked at the beginning, with a grand vision and charisma, making people willing to be convinced and want to follow you forever."

"Go and find Wen Ting." I didn't look at him, but just interrupted his sigh softly, "Also, don't say such things again in the future, Yan Dong, I said that we are friends forever, but we can only be friends forever. Don't say such things again and let Wen Ting misunderstand. She is very sensitive to begin with."

I have wanted to say this for a long time. I can't blame Lin Xixi for inducing Feng Wenting to think too much, nor can I blame Feng Wenting for being suspicious. Just look at Yan Dong's attitude. He always says things for me at inappropriate times that I myself don't want to say. As a girlfriend, it would be strange if Feng Wenting didn't feel uncomfortable.

It is not appropriate to do things in severe winter.

He was silent again. After a long time, he nodded gently, as if he was a little helpless: "It seems that the matter between Wen Ting and me has troubled Nan Xu. I can't continue to do things that trouble Nan Xu."

He regained his calm and gentleness: "I promise you that I will fulfill my duties as a boyfriend and let Wen Ting recover as soon as possible and devote herself to work."

"That's good." I was satisfied. This was my original purpose. With Yan Dong's words, I can rest assured.

I don’t know why, but I feel that Yan Dong is in the same relieved state as I am at this moment, as if he has finally let go of something.

What was he worried about?

He wasn't worried that I would misunderstand and blame him because of Feng Wenting's matter, was he? After all, Feng Wenting was his girlfriend.

The problem was solved, and it was inconvenient for me to sit in the office for a long time in the cold winter, so I stood up and prepared to leave.

However, when I walked to the door, I suddenly thought of that important thing, stopped, and turned to look at Yan Dong who was watching me leave: "By the way, Yan Dong, I heard that Wen Ting will be working on my computer in my office during this period. Is this true?"

Yan Dong may not know about Feng Wenting's other affairs, but he should know about her work matters. After all, Yan Dong is not only Feng Wenting's boyfriend, but also her teacher.

"It's true." I didn't expect that Yan Dong would admit it so generously.

What I didn't expect was that he gave me the answer before I even asked the question.

"I gave her your computer password."
