It Started With a Kiss: Leng Shao's Beloved Wife

Chapter 19 Heart and Hand Connected

Heart and hand connected

"Mr. Luo, something bad has happened! Mr. Chen has come with several investors and said he wants to... withdraw his investment!" Secretary Zhao rushed in in a panic, breaking the solemn atmosphere in the office.

Wu Xinyan took a deep breath and forced back the tears that were about to overflow from her eyes. Now was not the time to be weak. The Luo Group was facing a huge crisis, and she could not let Yichen be distracted by her.

Luo Yichen gently patted the back of Wu Xinyan's hand, gave her a soothing look, then turned to Secretary Zhao and said, "Why are you panicking? The sky isn't falling. Please ask Mr. Chen and all the investors to come to the conference room. I'll be there soon."

"Yichen..." Wu Xinyan grabbed his sleeve, her eyes filled with worry. She knew what this withdrawal of investment meant, and she also knew that Chen's opponent had always been at odds with Luo Yichen, and this time he was taking advantage of the situation.

Luo Yichen held her hand in return and said firmly, "Don't worry, I'll take care of everything." There was a sense of confidence in his deep eyes, as if everything was under his control.

The atmosphere in the conference room was tense. Chen's opponent sat at the head table, surrounded by several investors, each with a look of suspicion and dissatisfaction.

"Boss Luo, you're finally here." Chen Dui looked at Luo Yichen with a forced smile. "Why isn't Miss Wu here? Isn't she always very concerned about the company's affairs?"

Luo Yichen glanced at him coldly, ignoring his provocation. He walked straight to the main seat and sat down, saying in a deep voice, "Everyone, having come here today, must have known about the company's current situation. I don't want to hide it. The Luo Group has indeed encountered some difficulties, but I assure you that we will definitely overcome them and get through this difficult time."

"That's easy!" an investor slammed the table. "Now the company's funding chain is broken and the project is suspended. What guarantees can you offer? Why should we trust you?"

Several other investors also echoed this, demanding that Luo Yichen give a reasonable explanation and solution, otherwise they would withdraw their investment immediately.

Luo Yichen's face was calm, and he was about to explain when he was interrupted by a crisp voice.

"Everyone, please listen to me." Wu Xinyan walked in from outside the door with a confident smile on her face and a firm and calm gaze.

She walked over to Luo Yichen, looked around at everyone, and slowly said, "I know that the company's current situation has everyone worried. But please believe in us, believe in the strength of the Luo Group..."

"Ms. Wu, you're saying that a bit too lightly, aren't you?" Chen's opponent said sarcastically, "Everyone knows that the Luo Group's capital chain is broken and it's on the verge of bankruptcy. What can you say to convince us?"

Wu Xinyan ignored his provocation and turned to the hesitant investors, speaking sincerely and firmly, "Everyone, I guarantee with my integrity that the Luo Group will not collapse. We will definitely overcome this difficult time! Moreover, I promise that not only will your investment not be wasted, but you will also receive an even greater return!"

"Oh? What guarantee do you have?" an investor asked with interest, his eyes falling on Wu Xinyan with a hint of inquiry.

Wu Xinyan smiled slightly and calmly took out a document from her bag and handed it to the investor. "This is the valuation report of all the real estate under my name. The total value is over 50 million, which is enough to fill the company's current funding gap."

The conference room erupted in an uproar, with everyone staring at Wu Xinyan in surprise. They hadn't expected her to be willing to sacrifice everything she had to save the Luo Group. Chen's face sank. He had initially assumed Luo Yichen was doomed, but Wu Xinyan had suddenly appeared and ruined his plans.

"Everyone, I know this sounds a bit risky, but I have confidence in the Luo Group, in Yichen, and in myself." Wu Xinyan glanced at everyone and said firmly, "I believe that as long as we work together, we will be able to overcome the current difficulties and create an even more glorious future!"

Her sincerity and determination impressed the investors present, especially Mr. Sun, who took the documents and carefully read them. Mr. Sun, a cautious man to begin with, had carefully considered his investment in the Roche Group. Seeing Wu Xinyan's determination further strengthened his confidence.

"Mr. Luo, Ms. Wu, I believe in you!" Mr. Sun stood up and said firmly, "I have decided to make additional investments to support the Luo Group through this difficult time!"

"Mr. Sun, you are really a timely help!" Luo Yichen shook Mr. Sun's hand gratefully. He knew that with Mr. Sun's support, Luo Group had hope.

Seeing that Mr. Sun had made additional investments, several other investors also expressed their willingness to continue supporting the Roche Group. The divestment crisis was thus resolved by Wu Xinyan.

Chen's opponent watched all this happen, gritting his teeth in anger, but he could do nothing. He hadn't expected Wu Xinyan to be so resourceful, not only defusing the crisis but also seizing the opportunity to win over Mr. Sun. It was truly a loss of both the wife and the army!

"Luo Yichen, don't be so complacent!" Chen pointed at Luo Yichen's nose and said viciously, "You are lucky this time, you won't be so lucky next time!" After that, he turned away, and several other investors also left the meeting room.

After the crisis was resolved, Luo Yichen and Wu Xinyan stood side by side in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, looking at the bustling city outside, feeling a mixture of emotion.

"Xinyan, thank you. If it weren't for you this time, I really don't know what I would do." Luo Yichen looked at Wu Xinyan affectionately, his eyes full of gratitude and love.

"We are husband and wife, and we should stick together through thick and thin." Wu Xinyan smiled gently, "Besides, I believe in you. You can definitely make the Luo Group better."

Luo Yichen held her hand tightly and held her in his arms, his heart filled with happiness and emotion. He knew that he had found a woman worth cherishing for his whole life.

However, they didn't know that the danger was not truly over. After leaving the Luo Group, Chen immediately called a mysterious person and said in a sinister tone, "The plan has failed. That woman Wu Xinyan ruined my plan..."

"What? How could this happen?" A deep voice came from the other end of the phone. "Didn't you say it was foolproof?"

"I don't know what she will do..." Chen said through gritted teeth, "But don't worry, I won't let her be so proud for too long. I've come up with a new plan..."

"what's the plan?"

"Didn't the Luo Group just sign a new cooperation project with Mr. Sun? I'm going to..."

In the conference room, Luo Yichen and Wu Xinyan sat face to face, both of their faces filled with solemnity.

"This time, Chen's opponent is targeting our joint project with Mr. Sun." Luo Yichen tapped his fingers lightly on the table. "He will definitely find ways to obstruct the project."

Wu Xinyan frowned slightly and calmly analyzed, "He will definitely be more cautious this time and won't reveal his true intentions as easily as last time."

"That's right." Luo Yichen nodded in agreement, "So we must be even more cautious and not give him any chance to take advantage of us."

Secretary Zhao handed a document to Luo Yichen and said softly, "Mr. Luo, this is the project schedule sent by Mr. Sun. Please take a look."

Luo Yichen took the document and began to carefully read it. Wu Xinyan also came over, and the two of them discussed the details of the project in a low voice, striving to ensure that everything was foolproof.

In the following days, Luo Yichen and Wu Xinyan worked until late at night almost every day. Secretary Zhao also became their right-hand man, not only giving them the greatest support in their work, but also taking care of them in every possible way in their daily lives.

"Mr. Luo, Ms. Wu, you have been working all day. Eat something first." Secretary Zhao walked into the office with two hot midnight snacks with a gentle smile on his face.

"Thank you, Secretary Zhao, you are so thoughtful." Wu Xinyan took the midnight snack and said gratefully.

Luo Yichen also cast an approving look at Secretary Zhao. He knew that Secretary Zhao had contributed a lot to the company's affairs during this period.

"It's my pleasure. Enjoy your meal." Secretary Zhao smiled, turned around and left the office.

Under Secretary Zhao's arrangement, Luo Yichen and Wu Xinyan had more opportunities to be alone. They worked overtime together, ate together, discussed work together, and the distance between them became closer and closer.

However, Chen's opponent did not give up his conspiracy. He secretly bribed an employee of the Luo Group and wanted to steal the confidential documents of the project through him.

But Secretary Zhao was watching every move of the employee. She calmly played along and handed a fake document to the employee.

Chen's opponent was ecstatic after receiving the document, thinking he had finally succeeded. He immediately contacted the media, preparing to make this "confidential document" public and deal a fatal blow to the Luo Group.

However, the moment he opened the document, his face turned pale. The document contained no project secrets at all, but a lawyer's letter accusing him of defamation and industrial espionage!

It turned out that all this was a trap set by Luo Yichen and Wu Xinyan. They had long anticipated that Chen would repeat his old tricks, so they used their own strategy to lure him in, laying a net and waiting for him to fall into it.

Chen's opponent's conspiracy was shattered again, and he completely lost the chance to turn things around. Luo Yichen and Wu Xinyan joined forces to save the company, and their relationship was further sublimated in this cooperation.

Late one night, after finishing a day's work, Luo Yichen and Wu Xinyan came to the company's rooftop. They took in the panoramic view of the city at night, with thousands of lights and twinkling stars.

"Xinyan..." Luo Yichen was the first to break the silence, "Thank you, you have worked hard during this period."

Wu Xinyan smiled slightly and turned to look at him. Under the moonlight, her eyes sparkled with a moving light...

"Actually, I should thank you more," Wu Xinyan met Luo Yichen's gaze with a gentle smile on her lips, "Thank you for trusting me and allowing me to participate in this war without gunpowder smoke."

"We are husband and wife, and we should stick together through thick and thin." Luo Yichen's deep eyes fell on Wu Xinyan's face, and his tone was solemn and serious.

"Husband and wife..." Wu Xinyan repeated these two words in a low voice, an indescribable warmth welling up in her heart. She had never dreamed that she and Luo Yichen would become a real couple, but now, they fought side by side, relying on each other. This feeling made her so greedy.

"Xinyan," Luo Yichen's voice was low and magnetic, as if it had some kind of magic that attracted Wu Xinyan's attention. "I know that the beginning between us was not a good one, but I hope that you can give me a chance, a chance to truly enter your heart."

Wu Xinyan's heart trembled. She raised her eyes and looked into Luo Yichen's deep eyes. The emotions contained in them were so sincere and passionate that she could not escape.

"Yi Chen..." Thousands of words finally turned into a soft call. She knew that she had been attracted to him for a long time, but the shadow of the past and the uneasiness in her heart made her dare not take that step easily.

"Give me some time, and give yourself a chance, okay?" Luo Yichen gently held Wu Xinyan's hand, his tone gentle but with a firmness that could not be refused.

Wu Xinyan didn't say anything, but nodded silently, letting his warm big hand wrap around hers. The night breeze blew gently, and the atmosphere on the rooftop was warm and romantic, as if the whole world was just the two of them.

"It's getting late, let me take you home." Luo Yichen didn't want to force her, so he changed the subject at the right time.

"Yeah." Wu Xinyan replied softly.

The next day, Wu Xinyan came to the company, her mind still replaying the scene on the rooftop last night. Luo Yichen's confession caused ripples in her originally calm heart.

"Ms. Wu, this is the information you requested." Secretary Zhao placed a document on Wu Xinyan's desk with his usual professional smile on his face.

"Thank you." Wu Xinyan took the document and casually flipped through a few pages. Suddenly, a familiar name caught her eye, and her heart trembled. It was... the names of her biological parents!

"This information..." Wu Xinyan suddenly raised her head and stared at Secretary Zhao, "Where did you find it?"

"This is the company's early employee files. President Luo said you might need them, so he asked me to sort them out." Secretary Zhao explained, not noticing Wu Xinyan's abnormality.

"Boss Luo?" Wu Xinyan's doubts grew even stronger. Why did Luo Yichen give her this information? Did he know...

"Can I borrow this information for a few days?" Wu Xinyan suppressed the turmoil in her heart and tried her best to sound calm.

"Of course." Secretary Zhao nodded in agreement.

Wu Xinyan returned to the office with the documents and eagerly turned to the page containing her parents' information. According to the records, her parents had once been employees of the Luo Group, and they seemed to have a close relationship with a company veteran...
