Dressed in a light purple British trench coat paired with a striped silk scarf, Xinran stood by the street, gazing at the towering Tian Kun Group building across the road. She watched as employees continuously entered and exited the group’s entrance, her eyes scanning the golden logo emblazoned on the building. A cold smile crept onto her face; Dong Shan Zhong was indeed no ordinary person. It seemed he had been quite reserved when introducing himself to her.
Confidently, she walked into Tian Kun. The sound of her high heels clicked against the marble floor. Approaching the reception desk, she flashed a smile at the Receptionist and slowly removed her sunglasses, politely saying, “Miss, I’m looking for…”
“You must be Miss Xiran! Our president is waiting for you in his office. Please take this elevator to the twelfth floor; that’s where his office is,” the Receptionist replied with a sweet smile.
“Thank you!” Xinran nodded and turned to leave. Judging by the Receptionist's attitude, it seemed Dong Shan Zhong had anticipated her arrival and was already waiting for her. She hated feeling like everything was under someone else's control, yet she had no choice but to accept it.
The elevator doors opened with a 'ding,' and Xinran stepped out confidently. Before her lay a long corridor; unlike the bustling first floor, the twelfth floor was eerily quiet, with only the sound of her footsteps echoing.
As she walked through the corridor, a vast expanse of greenery came into view, refreshing to the eyes. Observing such a unique office environment, Xinran sensed that Dong Shan Zhong must be someone who truly knew how to enjoy life.
“Miss Xia, welcome,” a beautiful woman approached Xinran and gently bowed.
“And you are?” Xinran assessed the woman, who wore a formal suit that could not conceal her beauty. With a delicate face and sparkling eyes framed by cherry-red lips, she appeared as if meticulously crafted, resembling a glass doll.
“Miss Xia, I am the president's assistant, Mukai Saki.” Mukai Saki observed Xinran discreetly, feeling curious about what made this woman so special that Young Master Si would go to such lengths for her.
In the past, Young Master Si would leave such women to Shou to handle; he knew Shou would manage things excellently. As for Young Master Si himself, he had never bothered with those women. However, this time he not only had Shou entice Summer but also intended to personally win her over with love. A man as perfect as Young Master Si possessed immense charm; perhaps it wouldn’t be long before Summer succumbed…
When that time came, Summer would undoubtedly be the loser. Young Master Si had never developed feelings for any woman before; moreover, this time he merely wanted Summer to fall in love with him and leave Mu Family's Second Young Master behind. What awaited her then would likely be a harsh rejection! Once a woman invested emotionally in a man, it became difficult to detach herself—especially when both body and heart were tied to him—just like her own experience of never feeling secure.
“Mizuki, hello!” Another person named Mukai approached; was it just coincidence? Xinran felt slightly puzzled. Although Mukai Hisashi had not reappeared, she always sensed he wouldn’t easily give up on sabotaging her relationship with Augus. Augus himself had said that this person's goal was to prevent him from having love. Regardless of its truthfulness, she chose to trust Augus's words for now!
"Miss Xia, if you don't mind, just call me Xuan," Xuan said with a light smile.
"Okay, Xuan, then you can call me Xinran."
"I didn't expect such a big star to be so approachable! Come on, I'll take you to the president's office. The president has been waiting for you for a long time..."
"Um... Xuan, I'm a bit curious. Is your president really so sure that I would come today? The receptionist downstairs also said he was waiting for me in the office. What if I hadn't come today?" Xinran suddenly asked upon hearing Mukai Saki say, 'The president has been waiting for you for a long time.' Could Dong Shan Zhong really be that certain of her whereabouts? She even wondered if he had someone following her. She hoped he hadn't sent anyone to track her; otherwise...
"Xinran, you're overthinking it. The president isn't a fortune teller; how could he predict when you'd come? It's just that he's been waiting in the office for you these past few days, so no matter which day you come, he'll naturally be there waiting for you! In fact, the president rarely comes to the company; he’s only been so diligent because he’s waiting for you!" Mukai Saki smiled and said to Xinran.
"I see..." Had she been too sensitive? Did Dong Shan Zhong really go through all this trouble just for her? Her heart suddenly raced a little faster!
