When he returned to the CEO’s office, a call came in. Zuo Hancheng went to answer the call. After hanging up, he had no intention of leaving the office to get busy. Instead, he glanced at Anhao, who seemed to have something on her mind.”What’s wrong? You didn’t eat your fill at noon? Why are you so listless?”
Anhao looked up.
Although she had lunch with Zuo Hancheng and the Bai family’s elders at noon, even if Anhao had restrained her usual casual way of eating, she was still more or less full, and she ate the most.
Seeing Zuo Hancheng’s attitude as if he was really going to feed a pig, Anhao rolled her eyes at him and said,””Did you notice the look in Madam Bai’s eyes?”
Zuo Hancheng calmly took off his suit jacket and placed it on the swivel chair behind the desk. At the same time, he loosened his tie and said in a nonchalant voice,””I noticed it. I’ll send someone to investigate Madam Bai’s situation later.”
It seemed like she wasn’t the only one who was sensitive. Lin Qing had noticed it, and even Zuo Hancheng, who seemed to have only been discussing business with Director Bai, had noticed it.
“But Mrs. Zuo ”
Anhao was still explaining the matter of Madam when Zuo Hancheng’s words suddenly rang out in the air. When she came back to her senses, she saw that Zuo Hancheng had already appeared in front of her. She was stunned. Because she was too close, she instinctively took a step back to prevent herself from falling. However, just as her legs were about to move, her waist suddenly tightened. Zuo Hancheng’s arm had already pulled her into his embrace. At the same time, he lowered his eyes to look into her clear eyes under her stunned gaze.
“Who told you that I wouldn’t feel bad if you gave away all my precious things?”Zuo Hancheng’s voice carried a hint of a deep smile, and it was obvious that he did not really intend to pursue the matter. However, this oppressive feeling made Anhao feel that the words she said in front of the Bai family’s elders just now seemed to have given Zuo Hancheng some benefits.
However, since she had already said it, she could not take it back. Although she said it for others to hear, the truth was still the truth.
“I see that you don’t usually drink much coffee or tea leaves. You’re clearly used to drinking plain water. Not to mention that a high and mighty CEO like you has such an unexpected habit, even Director Bai probably didn’t expect it. He must have thought that West Lake Longjing is your treasure. If I didn’t exaggerate, he might even find an excuse to say something unpleasant to make things difficult for you.”
Anhao pointed in the direction of his desk.”” Besides, that packet of tea leaves is placed at the inconspicuous position at the bottom of your desk. It’s obviously something that you use to entertain politicians because you’re too lazy to drink it. I’m just exaggerating it a little bit to make them feel that I’m valued.”
As soon as she finished speaking, Zuo Hancheng leaned in front of her and leaned so close to her that she could clearly feel his warm but familiar aura.
“So Mrs. Zuo’s purpose is to help me out?”Zuo Hancheng smiled.
Although she did have such thoughts, Anhao still felt a little embarrassed after being teased by Zuo Hancheng. She was not the kind of person who was particularly good at expressing her feelings. She had always been taken care of by Zuo Hancheng. Even if she was no longer worried about the Bai family, she still did not want him to be restrained by others because of her. In her heart, she still wanted to help him in some way .
However, she could not say anything after being teased like this. She did not have the kind of coquettishness that she would have when she leaned into his arms when she was drunk. She only raised her hand and tucked the stray hair behind her ear in embarrassment. She saw Zuo Hancheng’s face, which was right next to her, smiling in a good mood.
“What are you laughing at?” Anhao initially thought that Zuo Hancheng was a little touched, but his smile made her feel that he was up to no good.
Perhaps it was because the man in front of her had always been too black-bellied, so she was always on guard against him setting up a trap for her again.
“I’m thinking about the feeling of being protected by Mrs. Zuo.”Zuo Hancheng said meaningfully. At the same time, he curled his lips. His smiling face fell into her clear eyes, and his voice sounded as if he was in a good mood.”It seems that if one day I’m no longer the CEO of the corporation that people fear, if one day I’m so weak that I have to be protected by someone, Mrs. Zuo won’t leave so easily.”
For some reason, Anhao’s heart was stabbed by Zuo Hancheng’s words. She could not tell if it was sour or painful.
Would Zuo Hancheng also become weak one day?
A man like him who could pull out the needle and rush to her ward door even when he was seriously injured .
Would a man like him, who could smile calmly no matter what kind of storm he faced and turn things around in an instant, also have a day when he was so fragile that he needed to be protected by her?
“Then I might ” After a long while, Anhao replied softly,””You need to make yourself stronger in advance. The Mrs. Zuo in front of you now may not be capable enough.”
Zuo Hancheng smiled and stroked her hair. At the same time, he kissed her on the lips, but it was not deep. It was not as passionate and entangled as it was in the resting room just now. It was just a gentle and loving kiss on her lips.
Then, Anhao heard him say,””Promise me that you will leave forever.”
Anhao opened her misty eyes and looked at the man in front of her. Suddenly, she remembered the three years she had been away.
In those three years, Zuo Hancheng did not call her once, nor did he send her an email or text message. She did not have any contact information at all. She even thought that he had changed his number and that she would never see him again. She thought that she would be ruthlessly divided into two parallel worlds and that she would never be able to feel his presence or find him again.
She suddenly took the initiative to put her arms around his shoulders to kiss him back. Just as Zuo Hancheng’s eyes darkened and he was about to lift her face with his palm to kiss her deeply, Anhao whispered,””Then you have to promise me that you will never let me not find you.”
Zuo Hancheng’s deep black eyes were right in front of her eyes. However, during those three years, she often felt that she could not get close to him in her dreams. Only she herself knew the feeling of not being able to touch the air around him.
What responded to her was a sudden and fierce kiss from Zuo Hancheng. Anhao felt her back being knocked against the desk by him. She was about to cry out in pain, but Zuo Hancheng’s hand had placed on her waist in time to prevent her fragile waist from being hurt again.
Just as Anhao thought that she would be carried into the resting room by him, a hurried ringtone interrupted her intimate moment.
