Gao Fang stayed to deal with the contract, while Zhan Nanxian and Wen Nuan returned to Qianyu first.

In the elevator he asked, "What do you think about solving this case?" His usually cold eyes remained calm.

Wen Nuan smiled, "To be honest, I don't have any ideas."

She was not happy because Qianyu won, nor was she sad because Zhu Linlu lost. For her, it was just about doing her job well. No matter what the two companies or two people were arguing about, it had nothing to do with her.

All the success and failure in the world, including the glory and loss of anyone including her immediate superior, had nothing to do with a little woman like her.

Zhan Nanxian stared at her in the mirror. "That's right. You already have beauty, money, a boyfriend of equal status, or a respectable job." A hint of sarcasm curved his lips. "Is there anything else in this world that can interest you? Or - can move your heart made of iron?"

She thought about it and said, "There is one." This is the only one.

Perhaps because he was in a good mood after the victory, he was rarely aroused and slowly turned around, "Oh?"

"Sleep, I wish I could sleep until noon every day." Since she was transferred to the 66th floor, work has occupied her whole life. She is so busy that she sleeps less than five hours a day. She already feels that she is seriously sleep-deprived.

A long arm suddenly pressed against her ear and supported itself on the staircase wall. She was completely enveloped in his aura that changed from unbelievable to rare. The voice that was close to her once again rang softly in her ear, "Are you—playing tricks on me?"

"I dare not." She responded respectfully, stepping back slightly, with her back pressed against the handrail, unable to avoid it.

His breath lingered in her ears.

In an instant, the back door opened behind him. He didn't move, and she didn't dare to move either, for fear that the skin on her neck would touch his thin lips. Her cheeks were once again slightly tingled by his light breathing. Zhan Nanxian looked at the pink color appearing in his eyes. It was indeed caused by his approach. In an instant, his eyes changed into a thousand colors.

In the end, he did nothing but slowly raised the corners of his lips, then turned and walked out.

Wen Nuan covered her lips with her hand and exhaled quietly, feeling mentally exhausted.

Obviously, the envoy was married and Luo Fu was married, so she didn't need to be on guard. However, every time she was alone with him, her heart was in suspense. She was afraid that he would suddenly hurt her with words if they disagreed, such as the casual words "We won't force you". She was also afraid that if something went wrong, she might be doomed from then on.

She returned to her seat dejectedly, replied to the unread emails, finished the remaining work at hand, and then sent an email to remind Zhan Nanxian of his schedule for the next day. It was already past the end of get off work time when she finished all this. While she was packing up, she saw Gao Fang coming over. They greeted each other and he walked towards the president's office, while she turned off the computer and took the elevator.

After going down to the parking lot, she searched her bag for a long time but couldn't find her car keys, so she had no choice but to go upstairs again.

The thick carpet muffled the sound of her footsteps, so when she approached the desk, she heard Gao Fang's voice coming from the half-open carved wooden door.

"Today, Zhu Linlu booked a small conference room in the hotel next to Leng's and placed a group of people inside. Now we can find out that he did receive a phone call during the lunch break, and then asked the people waiting in the hotel to change the bid again."
