After dealing with his emotions, Lian Xi came to the company, opened the work software, and checked the latest projects.

Lin Kexin walked in with a thick stack of documents.

"The person in charge from Huanyu contacted us and wanted to cooperate. What do you think?"

Lian Xi didn't even look at the contents of the document and said bluntly: "I refuse."

Lin Kexin frowned: "Why?"

"This kind of project is a mutually beneficial cooperation." Lian Xi said calmly, "The more money Huanyu invests, the more we earn. But they want to rely solely on our investment, which is not appropriate. Besides, this project is too risky."

"But..." Lin Kexin hesitated. "Once our project is successful, it will be a very good advertising platform. Huanyu may not lose money if it invests in this project!"

"No matter what, I don't agree." Lian Xi insisted on his point of view, "Let's put this matter aside for now and find a chance to discuss it later."

"Okay." Lin Kexin compromised, "I will contact other companies as soon as possible."

"No rush." ​​Lian Xi said, "You can consider simple projects first."

Lin Kexin suddenly became even more depressed.

She didn't understand why Lian Xi was unwilling to do something that was obviously mutually beneficial.

Lian Xi saw Lin Kexin's disappointment and comforted her, "You go and do your work first. I want to be alone."

Lin Kexin nodded, turned and walked out.

Lian Xi lowered his head and looked through the project report on the table.

There are many projects during this period, but few are suitable for the Lu Group. If we really want to do this project, we need to re-plan and re-select the plan.

This will be a huge workload.

She rubbed her forehead, shook off the mess in her mind, and continued to work.

Near the end of the get off work day, Lian Xi received an email from his secretary regarding project planning and implementation plans.

She took her laptop, went back to the office, sat down in front of the computer and looked at it carefully.

When she finished watching, it was already late, so she stretched, picked up her car keys and prepared to leave the company.

As soon as she opened the door, she heard light footsteps coming from the stairs.

Lian Xi became alert, held her bag tightly, and slowly moved towards the source of the sound.

She saw a woman walking stealthily downstairs. Her figure was hidden in the darkness and her face could not be seen clearly. She could only vaguely make out that she was wearing black clothes and the brim of her coat was pulled down very low, making it impossible to tell her age.

The woman seemed to sense that someone was watching her from behind, so she suddenly stopped and turned slowly.

Under the dim light, Lian Xi finally saw her clearly, and his pupils shrank suddenly.

It turned out to be Jiang Qi.

Jiang Qi stood at the stairs, his eyes fell on her, and a smile appeared on the corner of his lips: "I heard that Si Li has prepared a grand wedding for you. Do you think it can go smoothly?"

"It has nothing to do with you."

Lian Xi said this coldly and left without any reluctance, leaving Jiang Qi with only a cold back.

The curve of Jiang Qi's mouth widened a little, and he turned and left.

Lian Xi relaxed only after he walked away. He touched his heart, his breathing was still heavy, and his whole body revealed unspeakable tension and panic.

She didn't know how to describe this feeling.

I always feel like something is about to get out of my control, and I also feel like I'm firmly locked into fate and there's no way I can escape.

Jiang Qi's words lingered in his ears like a spell. Lian Xi closed his eyes, trying to dispel the fear in his heart.

Forget it, if the enemy comes, we will fight him; if the water comes, we will block it with earth. There is nothing to be afraid of.

Lian Xi breathed a sigh of relief, but the fact that Jiang Qi came to see her still made her subconsciously unable to help but think too much, and her mind became complicated.

Lian Xi returned home and smelled a rich and sweet scent as soon as he entered the door.

She was stunned for a moment, pushed open the kitchen door, and found a sumptuous meal on the dining table.

She walked over and saw Lu Sili still busy in the kitchen. He was wearing an apron and looked particularly homely, making it difficult to take your eyes off him.

"What day is today?" Lian Xi asked.

Lu Sili turned around and smiled at her gently: "I promise you that I will eat with you every day from now on. I will always remember this promise."

Lian Xi was stunned for a moment, then reacted.

Her heart was beating so hard it almost jumped out of her chest.

It turned out that what she was expecting was such a simple promise.

This feels...so good.

Lian Xi curled the corners of his mouth, trotted over and hugged Lu Sili's waist from behind.

Lu Sili was startled, but after coming to his senses, he patted her hands and said, "Okay, go out and wait. I'll be ready soon."

Lian Xi took two steps back and helped bring out the dishes.

Lu Sili washed his hands, walked over and sat down.

Lian Xi looked at his profile, then suddenly leaned over and kissed his cheek: "Thank you, husband."

Lu Sili didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "Thank you for what?"

"Thank you for cooking for me today, and thank you for agreeing to eat with me." Lian Xi said with a smile, "Because of your promise, I feel that the world is brighter."

Lu Sili pinched her nose lovingly: "Silly girl."

Lian Xi stuck out his tongue and buried his head in the bowl to eat.

Lu Sili's eyes never left her for a moment. Looking at her satisfied expression, ripples of satisfaction appeared in his heart.

After dinner, Lian Xi habitually lay on the sofa and watched variety shows.

Lu Sili went to clean up the dishes, and when he came back he saw her watching a variety show, so he walked over and sat next to her.

Lian Xi raised his eyes and looked at Lu Sili: "I haven't seen it for a long time."

Lu Sili smiled and said, "Since you like it, I'll go with you to watch it later."

"Yeah." Lian Xi said, "That director is quite popular recently, and the theme song of their crew is also great."

Lu Sili was not interested in this, but he still cooperated and praised the director and theme song.

Finally, he asked Lian Xi: "Did Jiang Qi come to see you today?"

Lian Xi nodded: "Yeah, but how did you know that?"

Lu Sili frowned, his tone slightly cold: "The bodyguard I sent to protect you told me."

"Ah?" Lian Xi was a little surprised, and then said, "Actually, I just chatted with her for a while."

"What did we talk about?"

Lian Xi told Lu Sili what she and Jiang Qi had talked about, including Jiang Qi's question about whether the wedding date could go on as planned.

After hearing the end, Lu Sili's voice became even colder: "I'll have someone go to the Jiang Group to say hello. If she dares to mess around..."

"Forget it." Lian Xi waved his hand. "Since Jiang Qi dared to do this, her family must know about it. If you use your connections again, it will probably backfire."

Lu Sili pondered for a moment, then slowly breathed a sigh of relief: "I'm glad you didn't get wronged."

Lian Xi said with a smile: "I'm not afraid, not to mention you've already helped me!"

Lu Sili laughed and rubbed her head affectionately: "Just stay at home during this time and don't go anywhere. I will pick you up in the evening and take you home."
