Reborn and fleeing for his life, he unexpectedly knocks on the door of the prince of Beijing's

The people in the office looked at each other, their eyes darting around.

The scene felt both strange and familiar.

In the end, Ba Wen reacted quickly, pulling a chair and pushing it behind Gong Xiaochen.

"Boss, please have a seat. Let's talk things over slowly. She can't get away."

Gong Xiaochen glanced at him, then sat down and spun Wen Shengsheng's chair so that she was facing him directly.

"Why do you look so pale? What happened?" he asked.

Wen Shengsheng only came to her senses at this moment.

He sighed helplessly, rubbing his forehead.

"Let's go out first..." she whispered.

"Right here, explain yourself clearly!"

From this angle, Wen Shengsheng could clearly see all her colleagues looking at the two of them.

Compared to the panic of the first time, everyone was much calmer this time, their eyes darting around, looking like they were excitedly watching the drama unfold.

"I'll go with you to the 28th floor." She had no choice but to compromise.

"No need. There's nothing shameful about me dating you. This isn't the first time you've done this. Explain yourself right here and now why you stood me up again." He draped his long arm over Wen Shengsheng's desk and tapped the surface twice, his tone leaving no room for argument.

I don't like being watched by everyone like this.

Wen Shengsheng's face flushed red, then turned pale, then flushed again.

It was because of the Gong family that she felt so depressed.

Gong Xiaochen is pressuring her like this again, and Wen Shengsheng finally explodes, "Did I promise you we'd go to dinner? You said it yourself, I don't want to see you right now, I don't want to eat with you, is that not allowed?"

After shouting that, she pushed Gong Xiaochen's arm away and walked straight out the door.

Gong Xiaochen's face was extremely gloomy. He loosened his tie, got up, and chased after her.

From the moment Wen Shengsheng yelled, everyone in the office gaped in astonishment. When they saw Gong Xiaochen chasing after Wen Shengsheng, their eyes followed him in unison. They had never been so synchronized when doing morning exercises in school.

After leaving the office and walking to the elevator, Wen Shengsheng suddenly disappeared.

“Sheng Sheng”.

Gong Xiaochen caught up and grabbed her.

"What happened to you?"

A group of colleagues who were going to lunch gathered at the elevator entrance. When they saw Gong Xiaochen, they all stopped and looked at the two of them with suspicion.

Another major social media frenzy...

Her face flushed again, and Wen Shengsheng nervously shook off Gong Xiaochen's hand.

Gong Xiaochen knew what she cared about, and pulled her into the private elevator.

To facilitate the work of Gong Xiaochen and his senior executives, Qingshan Capital specially set up a private elevator, which employees are not allowed to use under normal circumstances.

Since dating Gong Xiaochen, Wen Shengsheng has always been dutiful and has never sought special treatment, nor has she ever ridden in this private elevator with Gong Xiaochen.

But today, under the watchful eyes of everyone, she had no choice but to follow Gong Xiaochen into the private elevator.

The moment they returned to the president's office, Gong Xiaochen embraced her.

He pressed his forehead against hers and said in a low voice.

Tell me, who bullied you?

"No one bullied me." Wen Shengsheng had calmed down, but her emotions had not recovered.

"Then why are you like this again? Last night you were so enthusiastic about making fun of me and lying to me, why are you so listless today?"

After hesitating for a moment, Wen Shengsheng decided to speak directly.

I just met your mother.

Gong Xiaochen paused for a moment, and his face gradually darkened with a deep, inky expression.

"What's wrong with her?"

Wen Shengsheng looked up, her eyes filled with a hint of resentment.

"She said that the Gong family has already chosen a marriage partner for you, and they will arrange for you to meet in a while."

Her voice was muffled, and the original brilliance in her starry eyes had vanished, leaving only a dim, barely perceptible glimmer.

Like a pitiful little animal about to be abandoned.

Looking at her like this, Gong Xiaochen's dark eyes lost their solemnity and anger, replaced by a gleam of schadenfreude or triumph.

"Are you jealous?" He cupped Wen Shengsheng's small face in his hands, curiously examining every emotion on her face.

Wen Shengsheng blushed, even the tips of her ears turned bright red.

"Why is it that you can never grasp the main point when I speak?" she asked.

"I always focus on the key points."

Gong Xiaochen smiled, looking like he was in a very good mood.

He picked up her slender and petite body and returned her to his large, luxurious leather chair, letting Wen Shengsheng sit on his lap.

Resting her chin on her hand, she said casually, "It's really not easy for you to be jealous of me now."

Wen Shengsheng was speechless. "You still have the nerve to say that? Bai Yilan, Liang Fei, Xu Zhiwei, Xia Xiaobai, and now another marriage prospect has popped up. When will you ever have a moment of peace and quiet around you!"

Gong Xiaochen leisurely sized her up, "One Xi Yu by your side is worth a thousand troops, and you're always planning to undermine me. Do you think I'm indignant?"

Wen Shengsheng suddenly felt a tightness in her throat.

"Alright, there's no point in arguing when we don't see eye to eye. Young Master Gong, just enjoy yourself for now."

She struggled to stand up.

Gong Xiaochen stretched out his long arm and pulled her back into his arms.

"I rarely feel happy, and you're being so stingy."

He moved closer to her and gently inhaled her scent through her clothes.

Wen Shengsheng always had a very fresh fragrance, cool and slightly sweet.

He loved it.

"We'll get our marriage certificate at the end of the year and get married next year. I said it, and no one can change it!" he said as if making a promise. He took out the couple's ring that Wen Shengsheng had taken off that day from his pocket and put it back on her finger, his tone slow and deep.

"Let's talk about it then."

Wen Shengsheng lowered her eyes and played with the ring, but she didn't feel happy because of those words.

"How about this, let's go to the Civil Affairs Bureau to register this afternoon. I don't want you to be so anxious all the time."

Wen Shengsheng was stunned.

He held her hand, his expression solemn and frank. "Wen Shengsheng, actually I don't want to get married. I don't trust marriage. But if the constraints of marriage can keep you with me forever, then I will choose to get married."

Her heart started pounding, and Wen Shengsheng began to feel nervous.

"Um...you don't need to make such promises to me. Even if we get married, many things can still happen. Just don't deliberately hide things from me or cheat on me."

"You don't trust me," Gong Xiaochen concluded.

"Circumstances are beyond our control; my trust and feelings are not that important."

"How can it not be important? I care about your trust and your feelings."

"Are you sure?" Wen Shengsheng glanced at him. "Your sister treated you like that, but you still went to the airport to see her off. Why don't you just marry her? You're a good match, and you have feelings for each other. She's much more suitable than me."

"When did I go to see Xia Xiaobai off?" Gong Xiaochen asked in surprise.

Wen Shengsheng pouted, "The day you left my house after answering the phone."

Gong Xiaochen remained silent for a moment.

"Now I finally understand why you've been so hot and cold towards me these past few days." He sighed helplessly. "Xia Yi came from Shanghai that night. She has accomplices in Beijing. I went there to investigate this matter."

Wen Shengsheng was stunned...

*

The main gate of the Xi residence has been replaced by a new one by Xi Yu.

When Xia Yi entered, she glanced at the pure black door a few more times.

A mahogany tea table was set up in the garden. Xi Maokun sat calmly under a tree, boiling water and adding tea.

Xia Yi raised her voice as she walked into the garden.

"I heard that Xiao Chen broke down your front door a few days ago. I hope nothing bad happened to you."
