CHAPTER 201 - MEANING IN WORDS

Life.

Thi

These two simple words caused Lan Xi to tremble!

As her nose began to sour, the incredulity in her eyes was replaced with a sad and beautiful smile before finally dissipating.

Mu Yan Chen, you don't have to mess with me … She took a small breath. Thi

Mu Yan Chen's warm palm covered her face and a cold gaze stopped her words. His finger gently caressed her beautiful lips as he said in a low voice, … I'm not making a fuss.

flattery

Lanxi, if … I mean if there's an accident that happens again and we have a child, remember, you don't need him anymore.

His thin lips slightly paled, but his cold eyes were filled with seriousness.

However, these words were filled with shock when they entered his ears. He felt as if he was listening to a fantasy.

He was able to say the word child so intimately and easily, holding her so intimately as her own brother, discussing matters that could only be discussed between a lover and even between a husband and wife.

And those words were no less than a few light years away.

Lan Xi blushed. Her eyes flickered with a light that she didn't dare meet him. Her lips curved up in a sad and beautiful smile. Why?

Despite the absurdity, she couldn't help but ask.

Mu Yan Chen stared at her for a long time, his eyes becoming increasingly sharp and dark. He stared at her, supporting her face as he slowly said, Lanxi, listen carefully. If we have children in the future, he definitely won't be a freak, because between us, there's no way … flattery

Dang Dang Dang, a few muffled but short distance sounds of the car window knocking on the door interrupted his words.

Mu Yan Chen's body stiffened slightly.

However, Lan Xi seemed to breathe a sigh of relief. This atmosphere had long ago suffocated her to the point where she couldn't bear it.

Not only was his body feeling uncomfortable, he was also feeling sad in his heart.

She gave him a look, wanting him to turn around, then reached over and slowly rolled down the window. She was so nervous that she forgot to avoid their intimate embrace.

When he lowered the car window and saw that face, his eyes locked onto it and he was shocked for a moment. He suddenly felt as if he had done something bad and someone had caught him!

Yan Can's eyelids instantly jumped! His face instantly turned pale.

However, Mu Yan Chen was as calm as water. His long fingers gently gripped the back of Lan Xi's neck and gently pressed her down into it. He glanced at Yan Ran and indifferently said, What is it?

Yan Shan looked at the soul-stirring scene in front of her, and only recovered her strength after a long while.

Resisting the dryness in her throat, she said hoarsely, The foreign business flight from the Philippines is delayed and will arrive at 9 PM. I just notified you that your phone is out of order, so since your car is here, I might as well come down and tell you myself. Are you disturbing me?

Mu Yan Chen didn't say a word, but retracted his gaze coldly. The window of the carriage was already slowly rolling up.

Yan Can quickly retreated, otherwise she would have been caught!

The window of the car did not look through, all that could be seen was her reflection in the window. After a while, the engine started up and she quickly took a step back, not letting the tire run over her feet!

After doing all this, Yan Luan was so angry that her whole body was trembling.

She couldn't bear it …

She could tell from his minute movements that his eyes were brimming with an expression of rejection and indifference!

Although they could be found in the United States, they were on a completely different level compared to the feelings they had now.

Because at this moment, he was with Lanxi.

And she was damned if she knew … When did they get together again?

Yan Shan looked at the distant car, her eyes were terrifyingly sour and cold. Could it be that they really had no scruples? Because they were in a different city, because they weren't facing their parents or friends, they became this unscrupulous?!

That small interruption of a moment ago had also cleared Mu Yanchen's mind a little.

I still need to talk to them about work, how can you... How can they just drive away like that?! Lan Xi suddenly reacted. Her eyebrows knit together, she was puzzled.

Mu Yan Chen's expression was calm and his voice was soft, Isn't it because you're not feeling well? Take a day off and we'll talk tomorrow.

Lan Xi's frown deepened.

Mu Yanchen, I'm different from you. You're the boss, I'm just an employee. Last month, I took a lot of leave and was even criticized by Branda. I can't do this again this month. She tried to reason with him.

However, Mu Yan Chen's heart softened.

He reached out his hand to hold her hand and slowly said, Then the next time she criticizes you, ask me to come over. I will take the blame for you.

In contrast, he was still reluctant to let her sit in that cold building and talk about work.

Her body wasn't very well, and the pain in her meridians would be extremely severe.

It wasn't that she didn't have the strength to argue with him, but that she truly felt uncomfortable. Her stomach twisted, making it difficult for her to even say a single word, and fine beads of sweat had already seeped out.

What did you want to say to me just now? she asked. Why did he say they wouldn't be freaks if they had children?

Mu Yan Chen's eyelids jumped, but he didn't say anything.

After turning a corner, he tightened his grip on her hand. Have you contacted your family since you came here?

Lan Xi's eyes became a bit colder as he blankly stared at the carriage's roof. No. Dad doesn't like to use his cell phone. I haven't called them this year except to call them once on Father's Day. It was Uncle Fu who answered. And the time when I went back with you …

After a pause, she said softly, It seems that they are a bit older.

Mu Yan Chen paused for a moment, then asked, Did you contact your grandma's family?

The light in Lan Xi's eyes instantly dimmed.

She leaned on her seat and gently shook her head. My mother was my eldest daughter at my maternal grandma's house. After she died, my aunt was there as well, but since she was abroad all year round, she rarely contacted me. For the past four years, I've only come to pay my respects to her.

Then can we still contact her? he asked lightly.

It should be fine, but I have to go back and ask my grandma's family.

Lan Xi was a bit curious. Why did you suddenly ask me these questions?

Mu Yan Chen's thin lips curved into a line as he said slowly, I might be out on a business trip soon. Let me know where she is, maybe I can bring you to visit her.

Even after listening to his explanation, Lan Xi still felt a bit baffled.

Aunt was a typical strong woman. Her marriage was shaky, her career was flourishing, and she had no children. She had a bad temper and had a bunch of problems.

She was not the same type of woman as her mother, nor was she very close to her aunt.

She didn't know why Mu Yan Chen would suddenly ask about this.

However, his palm was very warm, so warm that she didn't let go even if she wanted to. She leaned back in her seat and almost fell asleep.

...

When she got home, she turned on the air conditioner and asked her to change into a light nightgown and lie down on the bed. The quilt was wrapped tightly around her and she was forced to drink a large bowl of ginger water that had just been boiled.

Although it was … Very comfortable, but...

Mu Yan Chen, don't you have to go to work? Her face was a little flushed from the heat.

Mu Yan Chen pulled over the clean bed sheet and held it in his hand. He then swept his gaze over the bed indifferently, What's the matter?

… Lan Xi was at a loss for words, a bit embarrassed. I just think that you shouldn't be so free.

Was there a successful person like him?

Mu Yan Chen retracted his gaze and threw the things in his hands into the basket. He then opened his hands to her side and stared at her face. Do you really hate the smell of ginger?

Lan Xi's long eyelashes drooped, and his breathing became erratic. He was still able to see through it.

Here, finish this. If you finish it, you can eat it. " He coaxed lightly.

Lan Xi didn't know whether to laugh or cry. She felt as if she were being coaxed like a child, and the embarrassment on her face burned even hotter. She took a deep breath and said, In fact, Mu Yanchen, I feel very uncomfortable with you acting like this.

— She was real, a little uncomfortable.

She didn't know how to describe this feeling. She was even a little afraid of going back to the state they were in four years ago, afraid that they really had no grudges against each other. What should she do when they couldn't be together again after loving each other so deeply?

Is it not good to be so estranged? Why did he have to talk to her about children and family and friends? It was as if they were really going to be together for the rest of their lives. They were going to solve all their problems and prepare for the future.

It was as if this was no longer a delusion, but something he really planned to do.

Mu Yan Chen stared deeply at her and could see her worry and cowardice. She didn't dare to move forward with fear in her eyes.

Touching her face with his palm, he said slowly, Give me some time.

Give him some time to lay out all the routes for her to retreat. Give him some time to ensure that the moment she found out the truth, she wouldn't feel half the pain of joy and half the pain. She wouldn't let the most beautiful family in her memory vanish into thin air.

CHAPTER 202 - CAN'T BEAR TO LEAVE ME

Lan Xi actually didn't understand what he meant.

Thi

Mu Yan Chen took the bowl from her hands and took a sip. At that moment, he grabbed her neck and covered her mouth with his.

Lan Xi's beautiful eyes widened.

She didn't expect him to feed her water like this. She was at a loss for what to do when her lips were pried open, so she instantly choked and a bit of juice slid down the corner of her mouth. Mu Yan Chen's movements immediately slowed down a bit, and she finally got used to it. Thi

That strange spicy taste, mixed with the brown sugar and the refreshing taste in his mouth, did not seem to be hard to accept anymore.

flattery

Opening his eyes, Lan Xi suddenly felt that under the light of the lantern, this man's slightly closed eyes were extremely beautiful.

Involuntarily, her hand touched his collar, carefully touching his bones through his clothes, and then her little hand went around the back of his neck and held him tight, pressing his green fingers into his thick hair.

Mu Yan Chen pushed the bowl to the side and pressed her under the blanket, kissing even more passionately.

Pain and happiness.

The corners of Lan Xi's eyes were slightly wet, but his embrace was even tighter. He was unwilling to let go.

It was seven o'clock when he arrived at the hotel.

It's rush hour, I'm stuck in a traffic jam! Lan Xi trotted in, a bit out of breath. You didn't wait for me for too long, did you?

Ji Yao was leaning back against his seat as he leaned back against the menu. His lips were pursed as he said, I just ordered some food, so it's not too late. flattery

After Lan Xi sat down, she frowned and looked behind her, Didn't you say you'd come with your boyfriend? Why did you go back on your word?

Lan Xi's face immediately turned red.

I... No, you said it yourself." she protested.

Ji Yao's face turned cold as she stretched out her hand, Come, come, give me a call. I'll call that man to see who has such no manners.

Lan Xi dodged backwards, protecting his bag, Stop messing around, he really doesn't have time to come.

Just now, Mu Yan Chen had said that he would be receiving foreign guests tonight, so Lan Xi tactfully didn't ask him to come along.

Unexpectedly, the door to the restaurant was pushed open, and an ink-black light instantly flashed across the luxurious restaurant. A cold and low pressure spread out from the door, making people feel suffocated.

Ji Yao looked at the door and was slightly stunned. Surprise started spreading in his heart.

Mu Yan Chen walked over to pull out a chair and asked slowly, Do you welcome me?

Ji Yao felt as if his brain was about to explode.

... 'Mu family's elder brother? ' How did you... Why are you here?! " She remembered that he had been abroad for many years, and she almost felt that he was not coming back!

Lan Xi was also incomparably shocked, and she used her eyes to ask him this question.

The other party's flight will arrive at 9 PM. I still have time to accompany you for a meal. He raised his hand and gently rubbed her head.

There was nothing wrong with this posture when placed between brother and sister.

However, Lan Xi's heart was full of fear.

What were you talking about? Mu Yan Chen picked up a napkin and wiped his hands.

Ji Yao still hadn't recovered from the shock. His eyes were filled with shock as he asked in a daze, Big Brother Mu, are you married?

Mu Yan Chen's movements paused as he glanced at her, revealing a faint smile. Do you think that I should get married?

Ji Yao almost bit his tongue off.

Embarrassed, she quickly drank a mouthful of tea, No, no, I didn't mean it that way. I just felt that you had really … Well, there are many successful people getting married late anyway, so it's fine even if you don't get married! But I think I heard that Bureau Chief Yan's daughter has always been with you in the United States. How could you …"

The two of them were male and female friends before, why did it take them so many years to achieve success?

Mu Yan Chen's face darkened, but he continued to speak slowly, I have nothing to do with her.

Ji Yao gave an Oh and embarrassedly touched his nose. Then, as if he had gotten interested again, he went over and excitedly whispered, Hey, then tell me who Lanxi's boyfriend is, right? In the morning, she personally came to ask for me. She said that she had a boyfriend, do you know her? How tall and how handsome? And compared to you?

Lan Xi facepalmed.

Ji Yao, will you die if you don't gossip every day? Her little face scrunched up.

Ji Yao thought for a moment. That's not right. I don't think we can compare to you. However, our Lanxi's eye of discernment isn't bad. Quickly tell us …

Mu Yan Chen's gaze moved, and a hint of danger could be seen on his lips, making him very intriguing.

He swept a glance at the blushing figure beside him and said in a low voice, Stronger than me.

Ji Yao instantly gaped, unable to utter a single word.

Lan Xi felt as if she were going crazy.

The three of them were sitting at a table. They were friendly enough. While they were going to the washroom, Lan Xi couldn't help but run over and pinch him. Mu Yan Chen was in front of the mirror, tidying up his attire. He looked down at the person who had rushed into his embrace, filled with resentment. His eyes were filled with gentleness as he pulled her over to press against his forehead, pressing her down against the wall of the washroom.

Don't you think you should pay attention? This is the men's room. His deep eyes were filled with the circulating starlight as he asked in a hoarse voice.

Lan Xi's face turned slightly red. Didn't you tell me you weren't free tonight? Why did you suddenly run over?

I missed you a little. Mu Yanchen's words were straightforward as he bent his head to touch her lips and gently said, I might be away on a business trip in a few days and I don't have much time to get tired of you yet you actually came out to eat with someone else.

Lan Xi was shocked. So fast?!

Yes. Mu Yan Chen hugged her and rubbed her neck gently, You can't bear to part with me?

Lan Xi's mind was in chaos.

She looked up at the tiny lamp inlaid in the long corridor of the washroom. The lamp was blurred, making her feel unreal. What had happened in the past few days made her feel an inexplicable sense of fear. A few days ago, she had always felt that dissecting the issue between them was a very painful thing. She was a person with a strong sense of self-esteem, and showing weakness in front of people who had hurt her before was even worse than killing her.

She still remembered the cruel and disdainful smile on his face back at the Mu residence.

Most of her unconfidence stemmed from the heavy blow he had dealt her back then.

Because one thing that she had firmly believed in had been destroyed. The person she loved the most had told her that she had been too naive. From then on, she no longer dared to easily believe it.

However, she had never expected that the matter would turn out so well if it was exposed.

He cared for her even more than before.

He felt a sudden pain in his neck and bit into it. Then, a deep, magnetic voice was heard, What kind of god is walking?

Lan Xi's face reddened, she still wasn't used to this sort of flirting between couples.

Surprisingly, she wrapped her arms around his waist, turned her head to the side, and gently rubbed him. She said in a hoarse voice, Pay attention to your body, look well at the weather forecast, and consider taking any clothes over. Otherwise, I'll help you clean up.

Mu Yan Chen's body stiffened as well.

He raised his deep eyes, stared at her, and asked in a low voice, You're coming?

This sight caused Lan Xi to blush even more. He pushed him away and said, If you don't want it then forget it.

Mu Yan Chen frowned and suddenly pulled her back into his embrace, I want to... I want it. "

It wasn't until someone walked into the washroom and saw the two of them strangely getting intimate and giving each other a strange look, that the two of them separated. Embarrassed, they tidied up their clothing before walking out.

Mu Yan Chen left three days later, in the early morning.

Lanxi only knew the date, but didn't know the exact time. He waited at home until 11 PM, feeling a bit disappointed as he fell into a deep slumber. Who would have thought that he would actually only come in after 3 o'clock?

She was fast asleep.

He put his packed luggage by the bed.

Initially, he didn't want to disturb her, but as he watched her continue to sleep in a waiting posture, his heart suddenly jolted. He wanted to bow down and kiss her, but his hand somehow snuggled into her pajamas.

Her slightly cold skin woke Lan Xi from her stupor. She drowsily opened her eyes and saw a blurry figure at first glance. She didn't even think before grabbing onto his neck and pressing down on him.

Mu Yan Chen maintained his composure and instantly collapsed.

In the end, he simply lifted up the blanket and covered her entirely. When he touched her completely moist territory, he viciously continued to peel her until the end! Tight and astringent, hot and humid feelings assaulted him layer upon layer, making his scalp tingle with pleasure.

She moaned softly and seductively, pulling out all the fire in his body and pressing down on her for two hours before she stopped.

It was dawn, and she was drenched in sweat as she fell into a deep sleep. Her body was covered with love scars.

Mu Yan Chen took care of himself and kissed her, then picked up his luggage and left the room.

Lan Xi was woken up early in the morning by the phone call.

The continuous ringtone began to ring at eight o'clock. Lan Xi struggled to open her eyes, and as she got up, she felt as if all the bones in her body were about to scatter. Her legs felt incomparably sore.

Branda's voice was urgent, scary, and even a little shaky.

Hurry over here. She took a deep breath, her eyes dripping with cold. Yes, that's right — something happened!

CHAPTER 203 - THERE WAS AN ODD ODDITY

In the midst of the hazy chaos, Lan Xi was immediately jolted awake by this severe berating voice.

Thi

She propped herself up, and a cold feeling seeped into the thin blanket.

Lan Xi didn't have time to think about it. She immediately hung up the phone and got out of bed. Her watery eyes swept across the empty room before realising that Mu Yan Chen had already left. Thi

There was no time to think.

She ran to the bathroom to wash. Her whole body was sore and there was white liquid flowing between her legs. She blushed and her heart was beating very quickly. She reached out her hand to wipe the flowers on the mirror in the bathroom and washed it clean before coming out with a towel wrapped around her.

flattery

It was a quarter to nine when he arrived at the company.

There was already a car waiting for her at the foot of the steps leading up to the company building. Lan Xi directly got on the car from across the street. After getting on the car, she was shocked to discover that Qiao Qiyang was there again.

He didn't seem to have slept well. His long fingers pressed against his slightly wrinkled forehead, and his expression was heavy.

Hearing the commotion, Qiao Qiyang raised his head and his gaze fell onto her face.

Don't look at me like that. My mom doesn't have time. I'm going in her place, or rather, in the company's place. He said it softly, coldly.

Lan Xi's heart suddenly jumped again!

With a pale face, she sat in the middle and thought carefully about what kind of things could alarm Chairman Song.

Branda finally got into the car, his face serious. flattery

Bam! After closing the car door, she tilted her head and asked, Have you communicated with the technical department before? Have you ensured your safety? "

Lan Xi nodded. I've communicated with them. They've already passed the examination.

Branda also nodded. That's good …

What's good? A sneer came from the back seat. Qiao Qiyang slowly sat up in the dark carriage. His long and narrow eyes revealed a trace of gloominess. This time, the design is not flat but three-dimensional. It is truly strange.

Lan Xi's heart shook, and his little face paled. Did something happen to someone? Was it an accident or a problem with the design?

Qiao Qiyang stared at her with cold eyes. His gaze softened a bit as he said in a low voice, All of them.

Lanxi's hands clung to the seat cover as a buzz went through his head.

Recently, her mood had been a bit unstable, and she might have neglected her work. However, she kept warning herself to be careful. After all, Yan Lan had emphasized the safety of this project many times, yet she still made a mistake.

Branda frowned and looked back. Isn't that funny? The design was only implemented after they had approved it. The natural factor is force majeure, how can you blame it on us?!

Qiao Qiyang sneered, Why are you also starting to get chaotic? Just like when a product goes public and there is a problem, quality inspection cannot escape responsibility, so can the manufacturer be exempted from responsibility?

Branda suddenly choked! However, thinking about it, the damnable Qiao Qiyang was right!

Lan Xi had already calmed down and forced himself to calm down. With a trembling voice, he said to the driver in front of him, Uncle Dong, please hurry up.

If there really was a problem and it involved a person's life, then they couldn't afford to delay it.

...

At the same time, the entire office floor of Yan Shan's office was in chaos.

The phone kept ringing, sounding a bit sharp. Yan Luan answered the phone, frowning as she communicated with the people beside her about what to do. Seeing that Branda and the others were coming over, her eyes turned even colder.

Order me the nearest ticket. I'm on my way to the airport right now. After Yan Can finished speaking, she directly brushed past them.

Branda's face darkened and he stepped forward. Miss Yan …

I really don't have the time to care about you right now. Yan Can coldly turned around, holding a thin piece of paper, If anything happens I need to go back immediately and look, now is not the time to discuss my responsibilities, after I have dealt with everything, we can discuss the details according to the results, or if I don't come back, I will prepare a lawyer letter and send it to you.

Lawyer's letter.

When the group heard this, their expressions immediately changed.

Lan Xi was also shaken stiff for a moment. Seeing Yan Ran already turn around and hurriedly follow, she suppressed the fierce heartbeat in her chest and said, Miss Yan, please wait a moment! Cooperation is a matter for both of us, and the implementation of the project was only carried out after your approval. In terms of responsibility, we do not intend to escape, but we must know the exact result and the reason behind it —!"

Yan Can's footsteps suddenly stopped.

Lan Xi continued to speak, his eyes turning bloodshot. I need to know what exactly I designed that was wrong. Otherwise, with Los Angeles being so far away, even if we don't know the truth, we can't take responsibility for nothing.

There was a trace of unyielding determination in her gentleness, which made Yan Shan's eyelids twitch all of a sudden!

The noise on the whole floor of the office suddenly slowed down. The staff raised their heads and looked at the two different women. A kind of stand-off atmosphere suddenly spread.

Yan Can's eyes softened, and laughed coldly: Good. Then let's go together.

She walked out of the building on her high heels.

Lan Xi let out a sigh of relief. Her cold little hand gripped the bag belt. Just as she was about to turn back and tell Branda that she wanted to go with her to Los Angeles, the light behind her was suddenly blocked by a figure.

Being pulled up by someone, he heard a low voice say, I'll go with you.

Lan Xi paused, looking at Qiao Qiyang with some surprise.

Before he could even react, he was pulled forward. Lan Xi frowned and said, Qiao Qiyang, you don't need to …

Even if I don't go to the company, I'll give you an assistant. Which one do you think is better? Qiao Qiyang was so cold that he did not even turn around. His grip on her hand was exceptionally firm.

Lan Xi was speechless.

Things had happened so suddenly that she was completely unprepared. If Qiao Qiyang was replaced with someone else by her side, she might have even less confidence. As they were thinking, the two of them had already left the floor. Lan Xi turned around to look at Branda. It seemed that she had already begun to help them book a plane ticket.

Los Angeles.

Before entering the elevator, Lan Xi still hadn't reacted. She only felt that the whole thing had happened a little too suddenly, but Mu Yan Chen wasn't by her side at this time.

As the plane was about to take off, Yan Jia, who was sitting in another seat in front of them, was closing her eyes and resting.

How could something like this happen in just a few short hours?

Lan Xi felt a headache coming on. His confused eyes swept over to the window, and then a rustling sound came from the side. A low pressure fell upon him, and Qiao Qiyang's cold and mocking voice sounded out, Stop looking. If you keep looking, then it's me who's going with you. What, do you wish to have someone else change next to you?"

Those slightly piercing words woke Lan Xi up.

She suddenly looked back and saw the mockery and indifference in Qiao Qiyang's eyes.

She didn't know if it was because they had fought for too long, but she didn't want to keep fighting to the death with him. Her clear eyes stared at him like that.

Looking at this scene, Qiao Qiyang began to feel awkward.

He looked at her coldly, covered her eyes with his palm, and slumped back in his seat.

Lan Xi pulled away from his hand and softly said, Don't you think that people who do business are two-faced? Benefits come first. When it's advantageous, it's a friend. If you lose something, you suddenly become an enemy."

Qiao Qiyang closed his eyes and sneered. You just found out.

Lan Xi frowned. But I don't think there's anything wrong with me. I really did inspect them closely at that time. If they don't make any sense, shouldn't they be the ones who are more professional and point them out to me? But why not? "

Qiao Qiyang reached out his hand to pat her head. You'll understand when you get there.

This matter was extremely bizarre, and there were tens of thousands of possibilities. Only at this place would they truly understand.

Lan Xi was also a little tired. Last night, she had been tossed around in her sleep for some unknown reason, but she had gradually fallen into a deep slumber amidst the rumbling sounds of the plane.

Qiao Qiyang opened his eyes and carefully observed her beautiful sleeping visage.

Gently, he brushed her hair away from her face and asked in a low, hoarse voice, Have you thought about me these past few days?

Originally, she was just mumbling to herself, but she didn't expect that she wasn't asleep yet. Her hazy eyes opened as she stared at him blankly. She asked in a hoarse voice, What did you say?

She hadn't heard clearly.

Qiao Qiyang's expression changed, instantly feeling awkward.

He withdrew his hand and patted her face. Do you want to sleep with me on your head?

Lan Xi looked at him with her watery eyes that were filled with confusion. She shook her head and changed her posture to turn her face, No … I sleep alone on my shoulder. "

CHAPTER 204 - MOUNTAIN RAIN

Qiao Qiyang felt a stab in his heart when he heard this.

Thi

Sneering coldly, he leaned over and asked in a low voice: How do you think he is stronger than me? Lanxi, the difference in our ages and family backgrounds is just like that. For instance, if I love you, then where do you think he is better than me?"

What can I not do that he can do? Thi

Lan Xi felt a headache coming on. He gently rubbed his forehead and said, You already have a girlfriend.

I've already divided it.

flattery

Did you tell him about my miscarriage? You want him to not want me because of this? There was a trace of coldness in her eyes as she turned around and asked, Qiao Qiyang, you are not honest enough. Does this count?"

Qiao Qiyang was speechless.

The look in her deep eyes was extremely complicated. She stared at him for a long time until she turned her back on him and fell asleep. Only then did Qiao Qiyang gradually regain his senses.

Her heart was filled with bitterness, as if she had given him a path to walk and made him feel that it was worth it.

When she was really about to fall asleep, Qiao Qiyang extended his arms and gently embraced her from behind. He bent his head down and covered her soft hair with his lips. He said in a low and hoarse voice, I'll change.

Did I change it so that I would be able to ask for the same amount of love as him in the future?

In Qiao Qiyang's opinion, he could afford to wait.

His arms would be open to her when they were fully aware that they had no future at all. flattery

The passing flight attendant couldn't help but stop beside them. With a blush on his face, he gently tugged at his arm. Sir, can I trouble you to fasten your seatbelt?

On the plane, it really wasn't a place for him to talk about love.

Separated by three or two positions, Yan Can slowly took out the small makeup mirror to examine her makeup, between her eyebrows there was still a trace of gloominess, but it had gradually disappeared now. She stared at the two people behind her, and sure enough, they were wrapped together as she had expected.

The journey had just begun.

After arriving in Los Angeles, Yan almost had no rest and was on her way to the scene in a car that had come to pick up the plane from the company.

Exhaustion filled her body, and every part of her body felt uncomfortable. But even so, Lan Xi insisted on following her. Yan Luan's cold eyes swept over them, and she indifferently agreed.

Qiao Qiyang followed her into the back seat. He coldly swept a glance at Yan Ran in front of him, grabbed her by the waist, and said in a low voice, Be careful.

Although his mental state was not good either, he still had to muster up enough mental energy to protect her.

It was already night, and all they could do was go to the hospital and look at the wounded.

Los Angeles was a strange place to be. There was nothing wrong with being careful.

When he arrived at the hospital, his ears were filled with English. It took him a moment to get used to being able to fully concentrate. Many of the surrounding DiglandYork employees, mostly Americans, came and went without paying attention to their presence. With a cold expression, Qiao Qiyang told her to wait outside. She did not know what to do inside, but after a long while, she bid her farewell to Yan Luan and walked out.

It's too late now so we won't have time to deal with it tomorrow. We'll stay at the hotel tonight. If you get your ID, I'll bring you there directly. Qiao Qiyang instructed as soon as he came out.

Lan Xi was startled. She looked into the ward and asked, Is that person seriously injured?

Qiao Qiyang looked at her and pursed his lips without saying anything. Halfway through, he said, Heavy, but it was not caused by you.

Lan Xi's heart tightened.

She subconsciously rubbed the phone in her palm that was already turned off with a black screen. She felt uneasy.

Qiao Qiyang paused for a while, then took out his mobile phone and handed it to her. Or should you give him a call to reassure him? My phone still has electricity, how about you use it?

Lan Xi was slightly surprised.

She looked at Qiao Qiyang's mobile phone but didn't dare to pick it up. She shook her head, got up and walked over to the booth to talk to the nurse in English. However, she found that she couldn't make an overseas call.

Qiao Qiyang smiled coldly as his tall figure leaned against the wall.

He seemed to be waiting for her to hit the wall.

Let's go to the hotel. The hotel must have a phone number to call. Lan Xi lightly sucked in a breath, walking back to speak.

Qiao Qiyang's eyes turned cold.

He began to feel that his mental endurance was truly formidable. Otherwise, if a woman had rejected him so clearly in the past, he would not have been able to hear her and would not have shamelessly stuck to the top again.

But it was still love.

Love is something that makes people willing to be base.

...

In the hotel, after Lan Xi's cell phone charged into the electricity, he used his landline to dial Mu Yanchen's number.

— What time was Manchester now?

She was suddenly startled and held the receiver. She was afraid that she was not on time to calculate the time difference, but the call suddenly came through.

Hello? An indifferent and magnetic voice sounded.

Lan Xi's heart warmed. She suddenly didn't know what to say, so she said, Mu Yanchen, it's me.

Who are you? The voice on the other side was a bit lazy as it asked slowly.

In almost an instant, Lan Xi understood the slight teasing in his words. His face instantly flushed red. I'm your girlfriend. "

What? I didn't hear what you said. Say it again.

Lan Xi's face was so red that it seemed as if it would burst. She gently scolded, Mu Yanchen!

She didn't need to look to know that his mouth was curling into a smile.

It was a soul-stirring scene.

Why didn't you just call me brother? I will know it must be you. Mu Yanchen slowly said.

Lan Xi gently leaned against the headboard and said with a sigh, I'm in Los Angeles now.

Mu Yanchen paused for a moment before changing his phone to another hand and asking in a low voice, Business?

Right.

You miss me?

... Right. Lan Xi blushed as she admitted it.

Mu Yan Chen smiled faintly, his deep eyes rippling. Take good care of yourself then. If you have any problems, call me again. Or if you stay long, I'll fly over tomorrow night to find you.

Lan Xi's heart tightened. Don't, you already have enough time to travel, don't give me any more. I should be able to leave in two or three days, if all goes well, of course. "

Is there any problem? he asked flatly.

I don't know either … She looked up at the ceiling and whispered, Didn't your subordinates report to you?

Report what?

… Lan Xi's face turned a bit hot. She suddenly felt that she shouldn't have acted this way to help others. Since Yan Ran was responsible for all of the projects here, she shouldn't have reported it so lightly. It's alright. We can settle it by ourselves.

Mu Yan Chen narrowed his eyes slightly as he noticed the words' we … '.

Lanxi. he whispered to her.

Her gentle voice made her bones soften. After a while, she softly replied, … Hrm?"

Be good and wait for me. I'll be back soon. He put his thin lips to the receiver and spoke softly.

Lan Xi's heart was filled with warmth. She humphed and hung up the phone.

On the other side, Mu Yan Chen sat there for a while, coldly listening to the second hand ticking away. After a long while, he picked up the phone on the table and dialed a number.

When she came out of the bathroom, she just happened to hear the phone ring. She ran over to pick it up with her wet feet, but she didn't expect it to be Qiao Qiyang. Are you asleep?

Lan Xi looked at his phone and frowned. Qiao Qiyang, why don't you call the hotel's inline? I hate you. This is International Roaming, okay? "

Qiao Qiyang smiled like a ruffian and said, Sleep early. Good night.

Then he hung up first.

Lan Xi was a bit annoyed. She threw the phone back onto the bed and secretly said in her heart: Crazy.

However, the summary report of the coastal accident that he got from DiglandYork headquarters the next morning broke all of Lanxi's self-consolation through the night!

With a pale face, she finished reading the accident report and closed the file. That's impossible.

Seated on the opposite side, Yan Luan's eyebrows twitched, she raised her eyes and asked: What's impossible?

I'm talking about the cause of the accident! Lan Xi's face turned ashen, her watery eyes were filled with shock and unwillingness. She turned the document around and pushed it to her, pointing straight at it, Here – I admit that I had originally wanted to design this place this way, but I know that I'm not professional enough. I've asked the technical director of this project, and it was only because he told me that there's no problem that I dared to come to this conclusion! Miss Yan, you came over to look for me the other day when we were talking. How could the guarantee given to me by your technical department suddenly be overturned and said that it was unreasonable?"

Yan Shan frowned slightly.

Miss Yan … The responsible person beside her frowned at her and asked in English.

Taking the phone over, she dialed Lan Xi's number and passed it to him. Yan Luan's eyes were calm as she said, I'm also a layman. I just saw the progress of your conversation that day. How about it?

Lan Xi's eyes instantly turned cold. His heart trembled, but he still didn't hesitate to pick up the phone.

In the few minutes since the call was made, an assistant came up to Yan Ran with a receipt in her hand. Yan Ran's frown deepened instead of relaxing.

Qiao Qiyang stared at Yan Can and withdrew his gaze. He bent over and lightly patted Lan Xi's back as he said in a low voice, Don't be impatient. Don't rush when you speak. Take your time.

Even though he said that, he felt a chill run down his spine, as if he subconsciously smelled danger.

CHAPTER 205 - SHE WILL BE DESTROYED

Du du, the sound of the phone rang was slightly cold.

Thi

After a while.

Lan Xi's cold face relaxed for a moment and then changed to Chinese to talk to the other party.

Most of the surrounding Americans curled their lips to express that they didn't understand, but they could feel that Lanxi's mood had once again been stimulated by these words. The hand holding the microphone trembled a little. Thi

Will you please not lie? You didn't tell me that the other day. In China, in the Divisional Department of Digland York, you didn't tell me that! I specifically asked you if you had any problems. It was you who promised me that even if there was a big wave, protective measures like this would be enough! You know this is a project at sea, don't you? You told me all the time to be careful of my safety, so why don't you admit it now? Do you know that someone was hospitalized because of this injury? It was a human life, and he was severely injured!

flattery

In his entire life, he hated being wronged the most. As he lost control of his emotions, his tone of voice had already changed.

Qiao Qi Yang frowned, he hugged her shoulders tightly, wanting to give her some strength, he raised his cold eyes and looked at Yan Ran.

Who would have thought that Yan Ran's gaze would be as cold as ice.

In fact, the meaning behind his words was even more profound.

I said it wasn't like that! Lan Xi shouted into the phone once more, sparkling tears beginning to flicker in her eyes.

flattery

She was more than anyone else in the world! She had clearly been wronged, but the other party had pretended to be confused. She didn't know if he had truly understood or if he had just faked it, but he had reminded her of something.

With a 'pa' sound, Lan Xi hung up the phone. She couldn't bear it any longer.

A sour atmosphere pervaded the air.

Her hands and feet were cold.

Yan Can looked at her for a few seconds, her beautiful eyes that were as cold as water under her eyebrows, her red lips slightly opened: You guys don't seem to have reached an agreement? Lan Xi, you can look at it again. If you admit that this was a moment of carelessness on your part, then you can do it …"

I didn't make a mistake! Her eyebrows knit together as she shouted out, but her hands and feet actually trembled until they were numb, I don't know the other details, but I've seen all the places that you've told me to pay attention to no less than ten times, I absolutely won't …

You don't know anything? Her slender fingers slapped the thin piece of paper she was holding onto on the table with a pa sound. She did not get angry, but instead released her might, instantly spreading a cold, low pressure around her. Lanxi, take a look at this – don't you want me to tell you something? Choose your company, choose you to do a coastal project for me propaganda, if not for your brother, you think I would have come all the way to China to cooperate with you?! But look carefully at what you've done!

A pile of information papers on the table flew up into the air. In a split-second, Qiao Qiyang had pulled Lan Xi into his embrace! Only then did those flying pages stop their sharp momentum!

Lan Xi's small face suddenly paled from the shock of her humiliating words!

Qiao Qiyang gave her a cold stare and pulled over the piece of paper that she had thrown over. There were a few rows of simple English words on top of it, and they were all sealed and scanned.

Lan Xi's mind was in chaos, but she tried her best to remain calm. She lifted her watery eyes to look at him, and then endured the humiliation and without fear, took the paper and read it. The crime written on it was very obvious —

'DiglandYork Coast Project Advertising Design Propaganda Suspected of Copying Part of the Annual Plan for the Global Media. After confirmation, the company will formally file a lawsuit against DiglandYork on behalf of the Royal Consortium that supports it. Please contact the relevant person in charge of the company as soon as possible after receiving the lawyer's letter … '

His fingers trembled, and it seemed as if all the strength in his body had been sucked out in an instant.

Plagiarism.

Plagiarism?

Opposite of them, Yan Chuan's anger had not yet faded, but it was obvious that she was trying her best to suppress the indignation in her heart. She tried her best to calm her tone as she said slowly: Lanxi … I remember previously telling you that you are very talented. Yan Chen definitely didn't choose you because of your special relationship with him. I am also in the same frame of mind to work with you! But what have you done? Do you know how serious it is in your industry to copy ideas? I thought you were different. What you're doing isn't to let me down, but to let your brother down along with you!

Lan Xi couldn't say a single word.

The light in her watery eyes trembled violently. She was completely confused.

Qiao Qiyang also realized the seriousness of the situation. He patted her shoulder and coldly said, Miss Yan, before this matter is settled, please do not use such a tone. Otherwise, if you find out that the blame is not on us, Miss Yan, you will also be embarrassed, won't you?

Yan Can's sharp eyes swept over to him!

She then tapped the table and gently said: The surface of the stage does not seem to matter, but the only thing I am proud of is that after four years of hard work, I have not done anything to disappoint Yan Chen, so on this point, my eyes are filled with unwillingness. With that, she pulled out a chair and got up. She cast a soft and cold gaze at Lanxi and said, We still have a few days to think of how to handle this lawyer letter. Before that, I hope you can give me a clear answer. Or, Lan Xi, it might be possible for you to have your brother help you suppress them. I'll wait for you.

Clear high heels

The voice, bringing with it a chill that grew further and further away, left the empty floor.

The entire crowd began to disperse while murmuring.

Qiao Qiyang's heart was already burning with anxiety. He patiently leaned over the table and whispered, Lanxi, just what is going on here?

Lan Xi almost crushed the thin paper in his hand. With great difficulty, he lifted his eyes and spat out a few words from his pale lips, … I don't know either …

The door to the hotel room opened.

Lan Xi didn't even have time to take off her shoes. She directly stepped onto the carpet and opened her laptop, then connected to the hotel's wireless web page and began to search. Last year's annual program was very easy to search for, so she directly knelt on the edge of her bed and began to browse through it bit by bit.

Yes, she did not believe in evil.

In Digland and York, they were usually ignored. At the very least, they had to come back and investigate!

Qiao Qiyang, who had just entered, frowned. He decided to take off his shoes and put on his slippers.

Did you find anything?

I'm checking.

The heating system in the hotel was on full blast. Qiao Qiyang took off his jacket and squatted down. He frowned as he stared at the screen. The overall architecture of the screen was actually exactly the same as the one they had designed.

You are sure of this idea... You really haven't seen it before? Qiao Qiyang asked hesitantly.

Lan Xi coldly glanced over and sneered, You also think that I'm copying it?

Qiao Qiyang said somewhat uncertainly, I just feel that it's very similar. It's really too similar.

So if I tell you that I got this idea once in the office of the DiglandyYork branch, do you believe me? The first time I went there, their walls were bright white, and the people who worked inside would feel sore in a very short time. Then they switched to blue wallpaper, and finally to a little gray green, so that the lighting wouldn't look too harsh, and that's why I thought we could change colors this time. But if I had looked at the original Mampo amp; R's design in advance, I would have suspected that I had copied it.

Because they looked too similar, they felt like they had come from a single person.

Qiao Qiyang's expression was also extremely complex.

Then do you want to call Mu Yanchen and inform him? With him here …

I can't. Lan Xi shook his head, his eyes a little desolate as he continued to browse the web, If he comes out, no matter what happens, it will make people feel as if he's covering for me. I wasn't wrong in the first place, so I can't make things difficult for him.

She also understood that Mu Yan Chen was never that kind of person.

Qiao Qiyang sneered, his voice cold. But Lanxi, have you thought about the consequences? This has been decided for a long time, the only thing that's missing from Digland is a person to take the blame, and all accidents are all gimmicks. Once this happens, you will be charged with a heinous crime, and even the company won't be able to tolerate you in the future. The entire industry will definitely not need a designer who relies on plagiarism — Lanxi, do you know that you will be destroyed?"

Lan Xi's entire body trembled, and her small face paled.

Don't you like this business? I know you like it so much, but are you willing to be destroyed like this? Qiao Qiyang moved closer to her, his eyes filled with pain and unwillingness.

CHAPTER 206 - SUDDEN HEAT OF DESIRE

Lan Xi's eyes flashed with pain, his pale face looked pitiful.

— Not only was the color changing, even the tones were similar. How was she going to explain this? Coincidence? An accident? Who would believe it? Thi

The hand holding the mouse trembled. She simply let go and somewhat dejectedly leaned against the bed. Thi

This scene caused Qiao Qiyang's heart to ache even more.

Lanxi. Keeping a clear mind, he reached out and patted her lightly on the face. Don't be discouraged yet, don't you think the whole thing is too strange? I believe your memory is correct. Then why did that technical department man deny what he had said himself? Isn't it too much of a coincidence that you mentioned the source of your creativity? flattery

Lan Xi only struggled out from the pain and bewilderment that filled his heart a few seconds later. She lifted her watery eyes and helplessly looked at him before carefully thinking about everything that had happened.

Qiao Qiyang, I don't understand what you mean. Are you saying that someone is going to frame me? And if the other party does bring a lawsuit, will the case be tried in the United States or in China? What will be the most serious outcome?"

She lacked knowledge in this aspect. In fact, what she wanted to ask the most was whether she would be sentenced or not. Would it be so serious that he would no longer be a designer with such a background?

Lan Xi! Qiao Qiyang frowned deeply as he held onto her face. Do you want something good? I'm asking you a question, but you should think about the cause and effect. Don't be scared by what I just said!" flattery

Lan Xi's eyes trembled, and his face became increasingly pale. After a long time, he gently freed himself from his grasp and wrapped his arms around himself.

I miss my brother a little. she whispered, trembling.

She missed Mu Yan Chen a lot, especially when it came to this sort of thing. Her mind was filled with images of him.

A sharp pain flashed across Qiao Qiyang's eyes as he brushed it away. After a moment, he asked her, Does Yan Can like your brother?

Lan Xi's entire body stiffened.

She nodded. Yes.

They've been together before? Qiao Qiyang continued to ask, Why were they separated at the back?

Lan Xi placed her chin on her knees and softly said, Four years ago, they appeared as an unmarried couple. Afterwards, Yan Ran followed him to America, and I don't know how they got along for these four years, but Mu Yanchen told me they weren't together.

Qiao Qiyang sneered. Do you really believe him just because he says so?

Of course I do! Lan Xi looked up, his eyes shining brightly.

Qiao Qiyang stared at her for a few seconds. He was too lazy to argue with her. He lowered his eyes in disappointment and then said hoarsely, You haven't eaten since you ran out this morning. Do you want to order something up?

Lan Xi's mind was thrown into chaos. After a moment, her unwillingness to give up surged up again. She knelt down once more to look up the detailed plan that she had come up with. She didn't believe it … She refused to believe that her hard work for so long had been branded with such shame. She was even more unwilling to bear the blame that should not have belonged to her and never touch upon designing this industry again!

Qiao Qiyang looked at her, his heart a mess. However, he had no time to worry about that. He called for two people's food and drinks and then leaned on the bedside table to accompany her in searching.

A quarter of an hour later there was a knock on the door.

I'll go. Qiao Qiyang patted her head and said in a low voice, You should also change places. If you have a chair, don't kneel down here.

I have no appetite.

Then at least eat a little.

The waiter then pushed the dining car out. Qiao QIyang paid for the tip and scooped up the soup into a bowl. He then used a napkin to wipe his finger and looked at her. Do you want to make up for it?

Lan Xi's face was pale white. She shot him a grateful glance and then shook her head, returning her attention back to the webpage.

Actually, her stomach was already rumbling with hunger. It was just that she couldn't feel it at all.

However, the results of the search only made her more and more disappointed. In the end, even she felt that she couldn't explain herself clearly anymore. The only thing she could say was, It's not like that. She knew better than anyone that it wasn't the case!

But who else could testify for her other than she herself was as clear as a mirror?!

His phone vibrated in his bag again.

Lan Xi stood up to answer the phone. Only now did she feel that her knees had gone numb.

Qiao Qiyang indifferently glanced at her, paying attention to every expression on her face. He could clearly feel the change in her expression. At the start, she was able to calmly speak to others, but in the end, she began to be agitated.

Enough! If you really feel that you should find someone to take responsibility for your actions, then just let them sue you! I have read the letter for a long time. I will never deny that I did it, and even if I did not do it, you can forget about giving it to me! "My brother is the founder of Digland York. Someone has to
