Lin Yu stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, the city below twinkling under the night sky like scattered stars.
Each light seemed like an eye, silently watching this bustling yet indifferent world.
The alarm of "Inverse Light" echoed in her ears, its sound piercing like a thin silver needle, stabbing at her heart and causing waves of pain and unease.
"Could it really be Jiang Chen? This guy just won't go away!" Lin Yu couldn't help but vent her frustration, her tone tinged with helplessness and irritation.
She crossed her arms and paced back and forth in the room, her brow furrowed as if she were contemplating a significant issue.
Rubbing her temples, she felt a headache creeping in, as if an invisible hand was tightly gripping her head, making her feel dizzy.
In recent days, she had been overwhelmed by Jiang Chen's relentless pressure, each day feeling like she was walking a tightrope; one misstep could send her plummeting into an abyss.
Now, with this new development, she felt utterly drained, like a deflated balloon with no energy left to muster even a hint of spirit.
"Host, based on my analysis, this energy fluctuation is extremely powerful and likely directed at you. You must be careful!" "Inverse Light" warned sternly, its tone filled with concern.
Its voice echoed in Lin Yu's mind like a series of alarm bells, constantly striking at her nerves.
It was like a loyal guardian, always protecting Lin Yu's safety, akin to ancient loyal ministers who would sacrifice everything to safeguard their sovereign.
"I understand. I will be careful," Lin Yu nodded firmly.
She lifted her gaze to the window, determination glimmering in her eyes.
She was no delicate flower sheltered in a greenhouse; she was a woman who had weathered storms and was confident in her ability to face any challenge.
Her life was like a tumultuous novel, filled with unexpected twists and challenges.
She believed that as long as she remained strong enough, she could overcome any difficulty and welcome a bright future that belonged to her.
At that moment, Lin Yu's phone suddenly rang, the sound breaking the tranquility of the room like a stone thrown into a calm lake, creating ripples that spread outward.
It was an unfamiliar number, and the caller ID indicated it was local.
After a moment's hesitation, she decided to answer the call; she was curious to know who would call her at this time.
“Hello, who is this?” Lin Yu asked, her tone laced with caution.
Her voice was soft, like a feather gently falling through the air.
“Miss Lin, hello. I am Mr. Jiang Chen's assistant.” A respectful voice came from the other end of the line, sounding like a well-trained professional.
“Jiang Chen? What does he want with me?” Lin Yu frowned, her tone tinged with confusion and displeasure.
Her brows knitted tighter, resembling two little caterpillars writhing on her forehead.
She couldn't fathom why Jiang Chen would want to contact her at this moment. Did he want to reconcile?
That would truly be a surprise; the cold-faced King of Hell, Jiang Chen, actually reaching out to her?
“Mr. Jiang asked me to inform you that someone has been looking to harm you recently. Please be very careful,” the assistant said, his tone carrying a sense of urgency.
His voice was hurried, like a tightly drawn bowstring that could snap at any moment.
"What? Someone wants to harm me? Who is it?" Lin Yu's heart skipped a beat, her voice filled with shock and concern.
Her heart raced, like a little deer frantically pounding in her chest.
She never expected Jiang Chen would warn her that someone intended to hurt her.
Could it be... Jiang Chen wasn't as bad as she had imagined?
This sudden news complicated Lin Yu's emotions, tangling them like a ball of yarn that couldn't be unraveled or cut through.
"We're not sure who it is, but Mr. Jiang has already sent someone to protect you. Please don't worry," the assistant said, trying to reassure her, much like soothing a frightened kitten.
"Sent someone to protect me?" Lin Yu was taken aback, disbelief evident in her tone.
Her eyes widened, sparkling with surprise like two shining bells.
She could hardly believe that Jiang Chen would send someone to look after her.
What was going on?
Did Jiang Chen actually care for her...?
Lin Yu dared not think further; she felt her heartbeat quickening, as if it might leap out of her chest, like a little rabbit being chased by a hunter—panicked and helpless.
"Miss Lin, do you have any other questions?" the assistant asked, a hint of curiosity in their tone, waiting for Lin Yu's instructions.
"N-no, thank you," Lin Yu stammered, her voice tinged with a hint of panic.
Her voice trembled slightly, like a leaf swaying in the wind, uncertain and unsteady.
She hung up the phone, lost in thought, resembling a statue standing still in contemplation.
Why did Jiang Chen do this?
What does he really mean?
Could it be that he truly feels something for her…?
Lin Yu felt her mind tangled in confusion; she simply couldn't grasp Jiang Chen's intentions.
It was like a complex puzzle that left her utterly perplexed.
Just as she was deep in thought, Inverse Light suddenly spoke up, "Host, I have detected several powerful energy fluctuations nearby. They should be people sent by Jiang Chen to protect you."
Inverse Light's tone carried a hint of certainty, much like an experienced detective confident in their judgment.
"Are they really sent by Jiang Chen?" Lin Yu murmured to herself, her voice filled with doubt.
It was a soft whisper, as if she were speaking to herself or seeking answers from the air.
She couldn't understand why Jiang Chen would do such a thing.
Could it be that he truly has feelings for her…?
Lin Yu's heart raced faster; she felt her cheeks growing warm, as if they were being scorched by fire.
She didn't know how to face Jiang Chen's "good intentions."
"Host, Jiang Chen's behavior is quite unusual. I suggest you remain cautious," Inverse Light advised, its tone laced with a hint of caution, like a wise mentor warning a student.
"I understand. I'll be careful," Lin Yu nodded, her voice carrying a note of determination.
Taking a deep breath, she tried to calm herself.
She knew that there was definitely a secret hidden behind Jiang Chen's "good intentions."
She had to figure out what Jiang Chen was really after.
It was like a game of strategy; she had to be careful and prudent to remain unscathed.
Meanwhile, Jiang Chen sat upright in his office, playing with a glass of crystal-clear red wine, his gaze deeply fixed on the view outside the window.
Dressed in a sharp suit, he exuded an air of maturity and composure.
His face bore no expression, making it impossible to read his thoughts, like an unfathomable lake—calm yet mysterious.
"President Jiang, why did you send someone to protect Lin Yu?" the assistant asked cautiously, his tone tinged with curiosity.
Standing behind Jiang Chen, he slightly bent forward, resembling a servant awaiting his master's command.
"Don't ask what you shouldn't," Jiang Chen replied coldly, his voice carrying a warning.
His voice was deep, resonating through the air like a cello.
The assistant, frightened, dared not speak further and quickly retreated, disappearing at the door like a startled mouse.
Jiang Chen set down his wine glass, the crisp sound echoing loudly in the empty office.
He walked slowly to the floor-to-ceiling window, gazing at the distant twinkling lights. His expression grew complex, like a shroud of mist, elusive and hard to decipher.
Lin Yu...
Why did he do this?
Even he couldn't articulate it clearly.
Perhaps... it was because he didn't want to see her get hurt.
The corners of Jiang Chen's mouth lifted slightly, revealing a barely perceptible smile, like a night-blooming cereus quietly unfurling in the darkness.
He turned around and returned to his desk, continuing to handle documents.
His figure appeared particularly tall under the light, resembling a solitary king guarding his territory.
And Lin Yu was the one he wished to protect.
Though he never voiced it, his heart had long been occupied by Lin Yu, imprinted deeply within him like a brand.
He didn't know what his feelings for Lin Yu truly were, but he understood that he could not afford to lose her.
He had to protect her and ensure her safety.
No matter the cost.
Jiang Chen's gaze became resolute, like two brilliant stars shimmering with dazzling light in the night sky.
He picked up the documents on the table and began to review them earnestly, as if the entire world had faded away, leaving only the papers in his hands as his everything.
As night deepened, the city's clamor gradually subsided, leaving only scattered lights flickering in the darkness, as if whispering untold stories.
And the story of Jiang Chen and Lin Yu was just beginning.
Their fates were like two intertwined lines that would inevitably cross again at some point in the future.
What kind of story would unfold then?
All of this remained a mystery.
Only time could provide the final answer.
