Return to before death

"Alright, get out of here. Remember this lesson." Sheng Xuanling waved his hand, his eyes showing a hint of impatience, as if he didn't want to continue talking to him.

But this time, he clearly won completely, overwhelming Sheng Xuankang in every aspect.

On the other hand, Sheng Xuan could only swallow his anger and leave with a gloomy expression.

"boom!"

With a loud slam of the door, Sheng Xuanling's gaze shifted to Yan Ran, who was trying to minimize her presence, and a look of amusement appeared in her eyes.

"Now, it's time for the two of us to settle the score."

Upon hearing this, Yan Ran shuddered and looked up at him in a fawning manner, "What score do we have to settle?"

She blinked, pretending not to know, trying to avoid confronting him.

Judging from the match just now, he is obviously a difficult opponent. It's best to avoid direct confrontation if possible. This is the conclusion Yan Ran drew from observing the game.

Unexpectedly, Sheng Xuanling, who is usually as cold as an ice block, actually has a cunning and ruthless side.

"Is this how you repay kindness with enmity to your savior?" Sheng Xuanling said casually without even raising his eyes.

Repaying kindness with hatred?

When did she repay kindness with enmity?

Yan Ran stood there, completely bewildered, unable to recall what heinous thing she had done to him.

"You left me, a disabled person, in the hospital, and then deliberately spilled my lunch to seduce men." Sheng Xuanling's pleasant voice listed her crimes one by one, making it sound like she was repaying kindness with enmity.

Why don't you just fly to the sky!

Yan Ran almost blurted out a sentence: She could accept the first one, but what was this about deliberately spilling his lunch in order to seduce a man?

Which eye of his saw her flirting with men? And that was clearly spilled accidentally, not at all!

Yan Ran maintained a calm expression on her face, but her mind was in turmoil.

"Difficulty moving around? I don't see any difficulty moving around." Does she think she's blind and didn't see him calmly walk from the elevator to the office? If she's not mistaken, he even walked a distance from the office to the elevator before that.

You really can't tell at all that he has any difficulty moving around.

"Heh." Sheng Xuanling sneered, without replying.

Should he show his weak side in front of Sheng Xuan?

What does a sneer mean? Yan Ran secretly rolled her eyes. Could it be that he didn't know how to answer and could only cover it up with a smile?

She was quite eloquent just now, she frowned slightly and stared straight at him.

But she was quickly defeated; there was nothing to see on his face at all.

Upon careful consideration, she realized that her promise to take care of him, followed by leaving him alone in the hospital, meant she had broken her promise first, so it was understandable that he was angry now.

"Um, shall I buy you another one?" she said, breaking the silence. She took a few steps toward him, her eyes asking for his opinion.

She came here to repay a debt of gratitude, not to argue.

She also has to be responsible for what she says; if she keeps breaking her promises, her reputation score will be completely depleted.

Sheng Xuanling's expression gradually softened, and upon closer inspection, his cold and hard features also softened, giving him a somewhat otherworldly appearance.

Yan Ran's mind went blank for a moment, and she stared at him with wide eyes in disbelief.

She couldn't be mistaken, could she? What was that faint smile on his lips?

This time, her smile wasn't as cold as usual; it was like the first melting of snow, giving people a warm feeling.

If someone saw him like this, there would definitely be a lot of women flocking to him. No, even if he had a cold face, there would still be plenty of women throwing themselves at him.

Seemingly noticing Yan Ran's gaze, Sheng Xuanling's face instantly returned to normal. "I waited for an hour for nothing. How do you plan to settle this?"

"Should I go buy it for you again?" Yan Ran asked.

It seems like there's no other option but to buy it again now.

"By the time you buy it, I'll be starving in the office. If I see some man I want to flirt with, I think I'll skip lunch and eat dinner instead." Sheng Xuanling glanced at her out of the corner of her eye, and when she saw her stern face, she suddenly stood up and walked towards the door.

"Huh?" Yan Ran looked at him in confusion, not knowing what he was going to do.

A closer look reveals that Sheng Xuanling's steps are not very steady, and it always feels like she is about to fall at any moment.

Yan Ran consciously walked to his side and gently helped him up.

When he needed to use the restroom at the hospital, she would gently support him like this. The people at the hospital often gossiped behind his back, but if she didn't care, he would be suffocated. Besides, he was her savior, and as he said, he couldn't repay kindness with enmity.

"Let's eat downstairs from the company. There's a place there that serves good food." Sheng Xuanling leaned half his weight on her, a gesture of trust.

"Uh-huh."

Yan Ran nodded slightly. If even he said something was good, then it must be good. She had witnessed his pickiness firsthand.

The two walked out of the company gate intimately, and the two security guards who were originally guarding the gate almost glared when they saw Yan Ran.

They...they can't be mistaken, can they?!

The usually aloof CEO was actually leaning against Yan Ran like a little wife. Yes, a little wife!

They immediately prayed that they wouldn't see them. If Sheng Xuanling found out that they had stopped Yan Ran from coming in, she would be in big trouble.

Fortunately, heaven heard their prayers. Sheng Xuanling and Yan Ran walked out chatting and laughing, without even glancing at the two security guards.

Just as the two of them stepped into the restaurant, a sharp female voice came from afar.

"stop!"

Yan Ran looked around suspiciously; there was no one else besides the two of them.

"Are you calling for the two of us?" she asked, puzzled.

"Let's go, ignore her." From that familiar voice, Sheng Xuanling knew who it was without turning around. His eyes were lowered, making it impossible to see the expression in them.

I just felt the air temperature around me drop several degrees.

"You guys!" The woman not far behind them stomped her foot angrily and jogged towards the restaurant.

When she ran into the restaurant, Sheng Xuanling and Yan Ran were already seated. She glanced around, found her target, and walked over slowly in her high heels, as if she wasn't the disheveled person from before.

Reaching the dining table, she slammed her hand on it, glared fiercely at Yan Ran, and said through gritted teeth, "Why are you such a persistent nuisance? You were like that at the hospital, and now that Xuan Ling is back at the company, are you still going to keep bothering him?"

It was obvious that this woman was Sheng Xuanling's fiancée, Liu Xinyin.

Yan Ran glanced at Liu Xinyin, then turned her gaze to Sheng Xuanling, her eyes filled with questioning.

"Liu Xinyin, watch your image. What kind of behavior is this in public?" Sheng Xuanling scolded her the moment she opened her mouth, without offering any explanation.

That's true. Liu Xinyin is, after all, the only daughter of the Liu family. Coming from a wealthy family, her reputation is the most important thing to her in public.

It doesn't matter if she loses face, but she represents the Liu family, and the Liu family loses face along with her, which changes the nature of the matter.

Upon hearing this, Liu Xinyin's face stiffened; she naturally understood the meaning behind it.
