Don't meet me in your next life.

He didn't want to talk about marriage, so he was unwilling to answer Shen Linshu's questions.

He simply replied perfunctorily, "I'll let you know when the time comes."

“Che’er, your attitude is far too perfunctory. You know my personality; if you really don’t like Xiang Yiyi, I can help you get rid of her,” Shen Linshu said.

“No need,” Shen Che refused.

"Che'er, I'm doing this for your own good. I hope you won't let your father down."

"Thank you for your concern, Dad," Shen Che said, getting up to leave.

"Che'er, wait." Shen Linshu called out to him, "I think you didn't do this just for me, did you? Are you still thinking about Xiang Yiyi?"

"she?"

Shen Che scoffed, his eyes filled with contempt.

"Che'er..."

Shen Linshu wanted to stop it.

Shen Che turned and left without hesitation.

He walked to the top of the stairs, then suddenly remembered something and turned back.

"Dad, you just need to handle that matter. My private life is none of your concern."

"..."

Shen Linshu was stunned.

That brat actually talked to me like that!

They're getting more and more disobedient as they get older!

Shen Linshu was furious.

He glared at the tall, slender back before him, cursing, "Shen Che, you bastard! Do you think the Shen family's assets aren't enough? Let me tell you, if you don't want to embarrass me, you'd better hurry up and get married and have children to continue the Shen family line. Otherwise, don't even think about me collecting your corpse!"

Shen Che didn't turn around, but coldly said, "Whatever."

"Che'er!"

Watching him leave, Shen Linshu stomped his cane in exasperation, his eyes flashing with ruthlessness.

After Shen Che walked out of the Shen family's gate, he saw Xiang Yiyi's car parked at the gate. His heart skipped a beat, and he felt a faint sense of anticipation.

Has she come looking for me again?

This woman is really persistent.

He shook his head and couldn't help but give a bitter smile.

Forget it, I'll just go back to the company.

Thinking of the company, Shen Che suddenly remembered the contract and felt annoyed.

That contract originally belonged to me!

However, because of Xiang Yiyi's appearance, she was taken away and even threatened by her father.

How abominable!

No matter what, Xiang Yi, you won't get away with this!

Shen Che clenched his fists secretly, thinking bitterly to himself, before walking out of the hospital.

Xiang Yi ran all the way to the company and barged into Shen Che's private elevator.

She dared not imagine what would have happened if she hadn't rushed to Shen Che in time; would their relationship have been over?

What should she do if he doesn't bail her out?

What can she use to fight back against him?

Xiang Yi's mind was blank; she could only rely on instinct to find his location.

When she saw the man sitting leisurely drinking tea in the CEO's office, her fear instantly dissipated.

Shen Che...

Shen Che!

Xiang Yi quickened her pace slightly.

She walked up to him, looked up at his exceptionally handsome face, and felt a surge of emotion.

She was truly grateful that she had met him.

Fortunately, she met someone like him...

What are you doing here?

Shen Che frowned slightly, looking at Xiang Yiyi, "Shouldn't you be in class?"

Xiang Yi blinked her bright, watery eyes and said pitifully, "My teacher asked me to come and have you sign a contract."

She held a stack of documents in her hands and handed them over.

Shen Che glanced at her, then flipped through the book.

What the hell is this? !

She can actually write? And her writing is quite good, unlike those novices who haven't been out of college for long.

Where did you get this piece of junk?

"Mr. Shen, what do you think of this contract?" Xiang Yi asked cautiously, her eyes fixed on Shen Che's changing expression.

She felt very uneasy.

Will Shen Che be dissatisfied with her? Will he look down on her?

"Mr. Shen?" Seeing that Shen Che remained silent, Xiang Yi called out softly again.

He looked up at her indifferently, without saying a word.

Xiang Yi was at a loss. She pursed her lips and continued, "You should know very well that the other party for this project is a large corporation, so this time, I really have no choice..."

"Are you stupid?" Shen Che finally spoke, his voice icy. "Your responsibility is to study hard, work diligently, and earn money to support your family. These things are none of your concern."

He paused, glanced at Xiang Yi, and continued, "You don't need to give up your life for a job. Your life should be for yourself."

"I...I understand," Xiang Yi said softly, lowering her eyes.

Shen Che looked at Xiang Yiyi's expression, which seemed to show some grievance.

Can't she just be a little more obedient?

Why do I always throw a tantrum?

"Then what are you still doing standing here?" Shen Che said coldly.

"Then I'm leaving."

She gritted her teeth, turned around, and walked towards the door.

Seeing her appearance, Shen Che suddenly felt a little soft-hearted.

But he quickly regained his cold expression. "Wait a minute."

Xiang Yi immediately turned around, her eyes filled with anticipation.

Shen Che took a delicate little box out of the drawer and threw it into Xiang Yiyi's arms.

"Take this and go buy yourself a new outfit. I don't want you wearing those cheap clothes anymore."

Xiang Yi looked at the box he handed her, a hint of surprise flashing in her eyes.

She quickly hugged the box tightly and nodded, saying, "Okay, I understand. Thank you, Mr. Shen, I'll go buy it right away."

After saying that, Xiang Yi hugged the box and ran out excitedly.

Watching her hurried departure, Shen Che's lips curled into a smile.

His Yi Yi is getting cuter and cuter.

As Xiang Yi ran, she kept thinking about what Shen Che had said.

Is the clothing she's wearing really that bad?

She remembered that back in China, she often wore the most ordinary shirt and jeans, a black mini skirt, and black canvas shoes...

But she wouldn't dare wear it in this city...

However, since Shen Che said her clothes weren't good, then...

Xiang Yi lowered her head, looked at the box in her arms, and a sweet smile appeared on her lips.

The scene from that night seemed to reappear before Xiang Yiyi's eyes.

She sat on the sofa watching TV, while Shen Che sat next to her.

They were so sweet together back then.

Although they didn't know each other at that time.

But Xiang Yi knew that he treated her specially; otherwise, he wouldn't have helped her.

"Mr. Shen, you're amazing! I love this outfit so much! I absolutely adore you!"

Xiang Yi hugged the clothes and jumped up excitedly.

She ran to the bathroom and changed into her long dress.

The size of the long dress was just right, perfectly hugging her slender waist. The hem was also adorned with lace and rhinestones, making the dress look exceptionally luxurious.

The woman in the mirror looked like a fairy from a fairy tale, stunningly beautiful.

Shen Che, do you know how happy I am to wear this outfit?

Xiang Yiyi remained immersed in her own fantasy.
