Before Li Jinyu received a call from his mother, he had already received a call from Secretary Zhang.

He was in a bad mood, and his voice was low and weak: "Secretary Zhang, you'd better have something important to do!"

Secretary Zhang came to "surrender" and said solemnly, "Boss Li, I apologize to you. I was the one who asked Manager Zhi to send out that article."

"What's the meaning!"

Li Jinyu was originally listless and leaned lazily on the sofa.

After hearing what Secretary Zhang said, he sat up straight.

"Last time, in order to stop Madam from worrying about asking you to go to the sperm bank, I lied to Madam and said that you had a crush on Lin Suman."

Li Jinyu's expression changed slightly.

"My wife said she wanted to help you. She asked Manager Zhi to publish an article in your name to confess her love for Lin Suman. But Manager Zhi didn't understand it clearly, and things turned out like this."

He suddenly remembered the key information: "Where are the photos? What happened to the photos?"

"It was also provided by Madam. Master Si Qingli also knew about the photo, but Lin Suman was completely unaware of it."

"I'm sorry, Mr. Li. This happened because of me. I'm willing to accept the punishment."

Li Jinyu hung up the phone in a daze.

At that moment, he didn't know whether to be happy or guilty.

He heard some movement downstairs and immediately stood up.

At this moment, his cell phone vibrated. It was Mrs. Li calling. He didn't have time to answer it. He dropped the phone, opened the door and went downstairs.

It happened that Lin Suman came out with red and swollen eyes, dragging a big box.

Li Jinyu's throat tightened and he hurried downstairs to stand in front of her.

"What are you going to do?"

Lin Suman's eyes were red and swollen, probably because she had been crying for a long time.

She was silent and handed him her resignation.

He took a look at it, took it and tore it to pieces.

"Who allowed you to leave?"

Lin Suman's beautiful eyes have now turned into two big walnuts, filled with tears.

"Please, Mr. Li, don't go too far."

Li Jinyu's arrogance immediately disappeared. He put aside his high pride and dignity as a man and said softly, "Don't go. I will investigate this matter thoroughly."

Tears streamed down her face as she shook her head, "It's no use. You've assumed I had bad intentions from the start, and you deny me at the slightest sign of trouble."

She wiped her tears and continued to cry: "Last time you believed Aya's words, this time you believed the rumors. You didn't even bother to find out the truth, and you concluded that I did it."

"I don't know what will happen next. I don't want to live under someone else's roof anymore, worried about being kicked out. Please get out of the way."

Li Jinyu refused to give in, but instead took half a step towards her, and their bodies were very close.

"I won't let you."

All the bitterness and forbearance she had accumulated over the past few months burst out in tears tonight.

At this moment, even she herself did not realize that there was no anger of being wronged in her tone.

There are only soft accusations and weak grievances.

It was like she was asking for affirmation from the person she trusted, for a promise not to hurt her again.

Li Jinyu was very smart and he heard it.

He felt guilty and distressed.

There is also a sour and soft love gushing out.

He was willing to give her the affirmation and commitment she subconsciously wanted.

"I promise you, there won't be a next time. We'll get married right away."

Lin Suman suddenly stopped crying, a tear hung on her eyelashes, and she looked at him in shock.

He held her hand, afraid of scaring her, and explained softly.

"Only by getting married can we calm this public opinion. Otherwise, even if you leave here, it will still have a negative impact on you."

When Lin Suman heard the word marriage, she suddenly backed off.

She pulled her hands free.

What happened in 2018 was like a prison, and she couldn't escape its shadow.

"I'm not getting married."

Li Jinyu's heart suddenly sank.

There was confusion in his eyes.

She had just inadvertently revealed her softness and vulnerability, and she was willing to show her wounds to him.

Only towards people you trust and like will you behave like this, hoping for their care.

If she only has anger and hostility in her heart, she will unconsciously become cold and hard, and hide her wounds.

In other words, she just acted like a girlfriend who was having a breakup.

Li Jinyu has a very high IQ and is good at insight.

He realized that Lin Suman liked him, even though she was too shy to admit it at first.

But why did she resist getting married? Did she have concerns about marriage?

Li Jinyu felt that they needed to have a good talk.

"Come, sit down and listen to me."

He took the suitcase from her, held her hand, and walked back to the living room.

Pressing her shoulders, he made her sit on the sofa.

She said nothing, like a well-behaved child.

After delivering the suitcase to her room, Li Jinyu sat next to her with a glass of water.

"Drink some water first."

She took it but didn't drink it.

Li Jinyu sat down beside her with his legs open, his knees even touching her legs.

She was sitting at the very end of the sofa and had nowhere to hide.

Li Jinyu never gets so close to anyone, and he didn't pay attention to these details at this moment.

Perhaps, he accepted Lin Suman from the bottom of his heart and was willing to get close to her.

His mind was racing as he thought about how to convince Lin Suman to agree to get married.

If she doesn't agree to get married, the rumors outside will force her to leave sooner or later.

He has strong negotiation skills and can close the deal while chatting and laughing.

But this time, he was more nervous than any other negotiation.

"I was negligent in this incident. I made you suffer. This is my fault."

"Actually, I know that because of some experiences a few years ago, I developed a special psychological defense pattern."

"You once asked me why I hated women so much. Maybe it has something to do with my past experiences."

"So, when I saw that article, I subconsciously activated the defense mode and was unable to calmly think about the loopholes in it."

Lin Suman raised her eyes and looked at him quietly.

He looked sincere, and his deep eyes moved across her face, so gentle that they seemed to be dripping with water.

She was too close to him, and after just a brief glance, Lin Suman quickly lowered her eyelids and blushed to her ears.

"Xiaoman." He suddenly changed his address.

Lin Suman's heart was pounding, and she mustered up the courage to look at him.

"Do you believe me?"

She was silent for a long time, then nodded slightly, "I believe it."

She took a sip of water nervously.

She really believed it.

With Mr. Li's arrogant personality, he would never patiently explain things to others like this.

He didn't even have the patience to listen to other people's explanations.

Li Jinyu smiled, "That's good. Don't get me wrong, I'm not shirking responsibility. On the contrary, I'm reflecting on why I was manipulated by this wrong way of thinking."

"In fact, the company has done a background check on you, and your previous clients' evaluations of you are surprisingly consistent. You are responsible for your work, sometimes even more serious than the clients themselves. This stems from your passion."

"After spending some time together, I have come to believe those comments completely. At work, you have truly exceeded my expectations and given me many surprises."

"I hope you won't leave. The company needs you. I want you to continue to be in charge of this project, okay?"

Lin Suman said slowly,

"You don't have to do this just to get the project done."

She looked at Li Jinyu and said, "I understand. You want me to complete this project."

That's all she agreed to do.
