"can."

Luo Yusheng did not refuse, and the two easily became WeChat friends.

"Thank you for the yogurt, I'll be going now."

As Luo Yusheng spoke, she got up and left.

As luck would have it, she saw Ji Tingxiao as soon as she entered the elevator.

Luo Yusheng's phone vibrated. She opened it and saw that it was a cute emoji sent by Xie Wang.

She smiled slightly and replied casually.

"Who are you chatting with so happily?"

Ji Tingxiao spoke casually as he walked towards Luo Yusheng, his eyes glancing at the "Xie Wang" note on the screen.

Luo Yusheng didn't even look up, replying casually, "It's just a colleague adding me on WeChat to talk about work, nothing special."

As she spoke, her fingers continued to work on the screen, completely unaware of Ji Tingxiao's gradually darkening expression.

"Xie Wang?"

"I remember there was no connection between our departments at all."

Ji Tingxiao's words were laced with jealousy. He now regarded Luo Yusheng as his possession and could not accept other men getting close to her.

Any woman who gets close to Luo Yusheng will be treated as a competitor by him.

Even though he and Luo Yusheng weren't a couple yet, he still had such a strong possessive streak.

"You know him?"

Luo Yusheng tilted her head slightly, staring intently at Ji Tingxiao's profile.

"I've only ever heard of it."

Ji Tingxiao turned his gaze away, unwilling to meet Luo Yusheng's eyes.

Luo Yusheng could tell he was lying, but she didn't expose him.

The two stood quietly in the elevator, without saying another word.

As soon as the elevator doors opened, Luo Yusheng stepped out first.

Looking at his retreating figure and recalling what had just happened, Ji Tingxiao felt resentful.

In the days that followed, Xie Wang frequently sent messages on WeChat to invite Luo Yusheng out.

Unsurprisingly, Luo Yusheng rejected all of these offers.

The various reasons she gave made it impossible to force her to go out.

Now that he has another rival in love, Ji Tingxiao can no longer contain himself.

Taking advantage of his time off work, he went directly to Zhou Ze and Xie Wang, intending to have a clear talk with them.

The three of them stood on the company's rooftop, the atmosphere quite awkward.

"I advise you to give up your bad intentions, or I will definitely not let you get away with it."

Ji Tingxiao made a harsh statement, thinking it would scare the two of them, but they didn't care at all.

"Yu Sheng has never said she likes you, what are you trying to do?"

Zhou Ze remained calm and asked the questions casually.

Upon hearing this, Ji Tingxiao immediately flew into a rage.

"Everything should be done in order of arrival, you two are shameless!"

Just then, Xie Wang spoke up: "That depends on who Yu Sheng has in her heart."

"If you don't like it, you don't like it. It won't matter how early it appears."

His words made a lot of sense, which immediately made Ji Tingxiao feel deflated.

That's true. He's known Luo Yusheng for so long, but apart from that time in high school, Luo Yusheng has always been indifferent to him.

Thinking of this, he felt a surge of resentment.

So, at noon the next day, Ji Tingxiao cornered Luo Yusheng on the terrace.

The biting winter wind kept whipping against their faces.

Ji Tingxiao's gaze was intense as he went straight to the point: "Sheng Sheng, I don't want to wait any longer."

"Are you going to marry me or not?"

Luo Yusheng was puzzled. Why was Ji Tingxiao suddenly saying these things?

"I'm sorry, my mind is completely focused on the company right now, and I don't want to think about romance for the time being."

Upon hearing this, Ji Tingxiao leaned against the railing, his hands gripping the bars tightly, his knuckles turning white.

"I've waited for you for so many years, and you always use these same excuses to brush me off. How long am I going to keep waiting?"

Luo Yusheng took two steps back: "I have never made you wait for me. Aren't these things your own choice?"

"Besides, we work in the same office, and I don't want it to develop into an office romance."

Luo Yusheng looked serious, showing no sign of guilt.

"Since you're worried that going public with your relationship will affect the company, then we won't go public."

"I'm content as long as I can be by your side, standing behind you as your lover."

Luo Yusheng shook her head again, her attitude firm.

"Don't tell me this anymore, I don't want to hear it."

After saying that, she left the terrace without looking back, leaving Ji Tingxiao alone, bewildered in the wind.

……

"Dad, just hang in there a little longer, we'll get through this winter!"

Luo Zhengdong kept encouraging his grandfather by his bedside, but unfortunately, his complexion worsened day by day, and there was no way to bring him back to life.

Stepping into the room, which reeked of disinfectant, Luo Yusheng saw Old Master Luo lying on the hospital bed, his body emaciated.

This is somewhat different from what she saw some time ago.

"Sheng Sheng, you've arrived."

Grandpa Luo's voice was weak, and his gaze fell on her.

Luo Yusheng walked quickly to the bedside and gently held the old man's withered hand.

"Grandpa, you should rest well. You'll be fine."

Grandpa Luo shook his head with difficulty: "There's no time. Sheng Sheng, I called you here because I have two things to tell you."

He had long sensed his body was declining, and while he was still lucid, he quickly gave his orders.

"Grandpa, you said that as long as it's within my power, I will go through fire and water without hesitation."

In order to calm the old man down, Luo Yusheng had no choice but to make a promise.

"First, we must find the Luo family's grandson."

"This concerns the continuation of the Luo family's bloodline, and we must not be careless."

Ever since he learned that Luo Lingjie was not the Luo family's biological grandson, Old Master Luo has been thinking about it every day.

No one knows where the real grandson of the Luo family is.

Luo Yusheng was startled.

Even now, as the old man lies dying, he is still thinking about this matter, which shows its importance.

"Grandpa, don't worry. I will use all available resources to search for him."

Her solemn promise and the earnestness on her face pleased Old Master Luo greatly.

A smile appeared on Old Master Luo's lips, as if he had finally put down the heavy burden in his heart.

He looked toward the doorway and murmured, "Where's Xingchen? Let him in; I want to see him again."

This was the first time Luo Yusheng had heard words of concern for Luo Xingchen from Old Master Luo.

Luo Yusheng turned around and nodded to the nanny who was guarding the door.

A moment later, Luo Xingchen hurriedly entered the room. The child was tall and straight, and had few other outstanding qualities.

Fortunately, although he is Luo Lingjie's son, he doesn't look much like n.

Fortunately, his mother's genes neutralized the problem; otherwise, he would have had to live with this face for the rest of his life, and he wouldn't even have the will to live.

Little Luo Xingchen walked to the bedside and knelt down with a thud: "Great-Grandpa, I'm here."
