After Mr. Xiang divorced, the president regretted it

The smell of disinfectant in the hospital made Yan Jin feel dazed. The news of her mother's critical illness was like a hammer, shattering her brief peace. Since her father passed away, her mother has been her only spiritual support. Is this support also going to collapse now?

"Jin'er, don't worry, Auntie will be fine." Xiang Yu held Yan Jin's cold hand tightly, his heart full of worry and self-blame. He had never seen Yan Jin so fragile, as if she would break at the slightest touch.

Yan Jin didn't say anything, but just stared blankly at the red light in the operating room, tears silently falling.

Time passed by, the lights in the operating room finally dimmed, and the doctor walked out tiredly. "Doctor, how is my mother?" Yan Jin hurried over, her voice trembling with a hint of hope.

"The operation was successful and the patient is out of danger, but he still needs to be observed in the intensive care unit for a period of time." The doctor took off his mask and comforted her.

Hearing that his mother was out of danger temporarily, Yan Jin's tense nerves finally relaxed. His body softened and he almost fainted. Fortunately, Xiang Yu, who was standing beside him, supported him in time.

In the next few days, Yan Jin stayed outside the intensive care unit without leaving her side, looking much more haggard. Xiang Yu turned down all his work, stayed by her side, took care of her diet and daily life, and did not miss any opportunity to make up for it.

On this day, Yan Jin was about to buy some daily necessities for her mother, but she ran into Mr. Li who came to discuss cooperation at the hospital gate. When Mr. Li saw Yan Jin, he greeted her warmly, "Mr. Yan, what a coincidence, you are here too?"

"Hello, Mr. Li." Yan Jin responded politely, but he was a little confused. Why did Mr. Li appear here?

"I heard that your mother was ill and hospitalized, so I came to see her." Mr. Li asked with concern, "How is she doing now?"

"Thank you for your concern. She's out of danger now." Yan Jin replied calmly, not wanting to talk more about her mother's condition.

"That's good, that's good." Mr. Li said with a smile, "By the way, I was just about to tell you about this. Our company has a project recently, and I think it is a great match for your company. I would like to find time to talk to you in detail."

Yan Jin was about to refuse, but suddenly saw a familiar figure walking towards him not far behind Mr. Li - Xiang Yu. He was wearing a well-tailored suit, walking steadily, and looking as high-spirited as ever.

"Mr. Yan, long time no see." Xiang Yu walked up to Yan Jin, looked at her deeply, and spoke in a gentle tone, yet with a hint of indescribable nervousness.

Yan Jin was slightly stunned, with mixed feelings in his heart. Since they parted at the hospital that night, they had never met again.

"Mr. Xiang, are you here to discuss cooperation as well?" Yan Jin asked calmly, his eyes sweeping over PR Zhou who was standing behind him.

"No, I came to see Auntie." Xiang Yu's eyes never left Yan Jin, as if he wanted to see through her. "By the way, I want to talk to you."

Yan Jin's heart moved. He knew what he needed most at the moment and how to impress himself.

"Okay." Yan Jin was silent for a moment, and finally nodded, "Let's talk in the coffee shop over there."

Watching Yan Jin and Xiang Yu walk into the coffee shop side by side, President Li smiled meaningfully and said to the assistant beside him: "It seems that there is hope for our cooperation."

The cafe was filled with a faint aroma and soft music was playing, adding a touch of relaxation to the slightly serious atmosphere.

Xiang Yu pulled out a chair for Yan Jin like a gentleman, and after she sat down, he sat down opposite her. He handed a document to Yan Jin, "This is the preliminary plan I prepared for the cooperation between our two companies, take a look first."

Yan Jin took the document, put on her gold-rimmed glasses, and flipped through it lightly with her slender fingers, browsing the contents of the document with focused eyes. There was no expression change on her delicate face, making it impossible to guess what she was thinking.

Xiang Yu observed Yan Jin quietly. He knew that she was not someone who could be easily persuaded, especially after what happened before, she became even more defensive.

"This proposal is indeed very attractive." After a long while, Yan Jin put down the document, raised his eyes and looked at Xiang Yu, his tone calm, "But I want to know, why did you choose to propose cooperation at this time?"

"Because I believe that only by joining forces can we achieve a win-win situation." Xiang Yu met Yan Jin's inquiring gaze without flinching, and said sincerely, "I understand your ability and believe in your vision. This cooperation will benefit both of us. I hope you can seriously consider it."

Yan Jin frowned slightly and asked, "What if I say that I just don't want to see your company dominate the market?"

"If you think so, then you underestimate me." Xiang Yu chuckled and said confidently, "What I want is never to suppress my opponent, but to surpass myself. What's more," he paused and looked at Yan Jin with burning eyes, "I hope that you can stand by my side and fight side by side with me."

Yan Jin's heart trembled, and he avoided Xiang Yu's burning gaze, and his tone returned to his usual coldness, "Let me think about the cooperation first."

"Okay, I won't force you, but you have to believe that I really want to cooperate with you, and I really want to make it up to you." Xiang Yu knew that he couldn't get what he wanted in a hurry, so he could only wait patiently for Yan Jin's response.

Yan Jin didn't say anything else, but just lowered his head and looked through the documents in his hands, as if he was seriously thinking about the possibility of cooperation.

The sunlight from outside the window shone through the glass, enveloping the two of them in a warm halo.

……

Assistant Chen and Public Relations Officer Zhou stood not far away, looking at the two people sitting opposite each other in the cafe, with gratified smiles on their faces.

"It seems that our President Xiang is really going to change his personality this time." Assistant Chen said in a low voice.

"Yes, I hope they can..." Before PR Zhou could finish his words, Assistant Chen stopped him with a look.

"Shh, let's not disturb them." Assistant Chen said, pulling Public Relations Zhou and turning away, leaving the space for the two people in the cafe.

Assistant Chen and Public Relations Officer Zhou did not walk far. They chose to sit on a bench not far outside the cafe, observing the movements inside while communicating in low voices.

"Look, isn't our CEO Yan's face looking much better than before?" Assistant Chen lowered his voice and excitedly nudged PR Zhou with his elbow. "I told you, CEO Xiang is serious this time. He has never been so attentive to a woman before."

PR Zhou also nodded with a smile, "Yes, we were worried before that Mr. Xiang was just impulsive, but now it seems that he really wants to win back Mr. Yan." He paused, and said with some concern, "However, Mr. Yan is not so easily persuaded, I hope Mr. Xiang can persevere."

"I believe Mr. Xiang can do it." Assistant Chen is full of confidence in his boss. "Look, aren't they chatting happily now? Maybe we will be able to drink their wedding wine soon."

As they were talking, the door of the coffee shop was pushed open, and a middle-aged man in a suit and tie walked in and went straight to the table where Yan Jin and Xiang Yu were sitting.

"Mr. Li!" Assistant Chen recognized the man at a glance. He was Li Qiang, an important partner of Yan Jin's company and the chairman of Li Group.

"It seems I'm here at the right time." Li Qiang walked to the table and said to Yan Jin and Xiang Yu with a smile, "Are the two CEOs discussing something?"

"Hello, Mr. Li." Yan Jin and Xiang Yu stood up at the same time and greeted Li Qiang politely.

"Sure enough, I won't disturb you two from talking about business?" Li Qiang asked with a smile.

"Don't disturb me, please take a seat, Mr. Li." Xiang Yu pulled out a chair for Li Qiang in a gentlemanly manner.

After Li Qiang sat down, he glanced back and forth between Yan Jin and Xiang Yu, and asked with a hint of inquiry, "I heard that President Xiang is interested in cooperating with President Yan?"

"Yes, I have already told Mr. Yan about my sincerity and plan." Xiang Yu answered calmly, and handed the document in his hand to Li Qiang, "Would you like to take a look, Mr. Li?"

Li Qiang took the document and read it carefully, with a look of surprise and appreciation gradually appearing on his face.

"Mr. Xiang is really generous. This cooperation plan is very promising." Li Qiang put down the document and looked at Yan Jin with sharp eyes. "If Mr. Yan agrees to cooperate, I believe it will be a win-win situation."

Yan Jin was silent for a moment, then said calmly, "I need to think about the cooperation carefully again."

"That's what I should do." Li Qiang expressed his understanding. "However, I still hope that Mr. Yan can consider it carefully. After all..." He glanced at Xiang Yu meaningfully. "This opportunity is rare."

Li Qiang's words made the atmosphere between Yan Jin and Xiang Yu become a little subtle.

"I have something else to do, so I'll leave first." Li Qiang stood up and said goodbye. Before leaving, he patted Xiang Yu on the shoulder and said in a voice that only the two of them could hear, "Brother, come on!"

After Li Qiang left, the cafe returned to silence.

"You heard it all." Xiang Yu broke the silence and looked at Yan Jin with burning eyes.

Yan Jin didn't say anything, just picked up the coffee cup and took a sip.

"I'll wait for your reply." Xiang Yu knew that he couldn't get what he wanted in a hurry, so he could only wait patiently for Yan Jin's response.

He stood up, walked to Yan Jin, and gently held her hand, "Give me a chance, okay?"

Yan Jin's fingers trembled slightly. In the end, she said nothing, but slowly...

...slowly pulled his hand away from Xiang Yu's palm.

"I will seriously consider your proposal." Yan Jin's voice was calm, without any emotion.

Xiang Yu understood that this was already a huge improvement. She used to be unwilling to even look at him, let alone talk about cooperation calmly. He knew that he couldn't eat hot tofu in a hurry, so he could only suppress his excitement and gave Yan Jin a reassuring look.

"Okay, I'll wait for your news."

Leaving the coffee shop, Xiang Yu felt that even his breathing became lighter. He looked back and saw the figure sitting by the window, like a ray of sunshine, shining into his originally dark world. He knew that this crematorium of chasing his wife had just begun.

Yan Jin watched Xiang Yu leave until his figure disappeared around the corner of the street, then she looked away. Li Qiang's words were still ringing in her ears, and his hint was obvious - Xiang's cooperation was indeed a tempting piece of cake for Yan's.

She rubbed her brows, trying to sort out her chaotic thoughts. It is undeniable that Xiang Yu's cooperation plan is very attractive, and from a business perspective, cooperating with Xiang's will only benefit Yan's family.

However, when she thought about being tied to Xiang Yu again, all the grievances and injuries she had suffered in the past came to her mind and grew wildly in her heart like thorns.

"Mr. Yan, are you okay?" Assistant Chen asked with concern when he saw that Yan Jin looked unwell.

"I'm fine." Yan Jin took a deep breath and tried to suppress the emotions surging in his heart, "Let's go back."

After returning to the company, Yan Jin plunged into work, trying to numb herself with busy work. However, whenever it was late at night, Xiang Yu's figure and his words would always appear in her mind.

"Give me a chance, okay?"

His voice was low and hoarse, with a barely perceptible hint of pleading, like a heavy hammer, striking her once hard heart.

Yan Jin's heart was in turmoil. She found that she was not as determined as she thought...

At this moment, the mobile phone on the desk suddenly rang, and an unfamiliar number flashed on the screen.

Yan Jin hesitated for a moment and answered the call.

"Hello, Mr. Yan, I am..."
