The Master and His Wealthy Fiancée

Xiaoye tremblingly placed the flowers on the desk. ”Th-these are for you!”

Li Huiran’s brow furrowed slightly. ”Why are you giving these to me? It’s not like you don’t know my situation.”

Xiaoye said with sincere gravity, ”For the past three months, we’ve been rushing to meet the deadline for the Sunny Day Project. Now that the first phase is complete on schedule, I want to pursue my own happiness. President Li, as for your ’situation,’ I don’t mind at all!”

Li Huiran recalled the day Xiaoye had stood up for her. She was genuinely moved by the memory, but she still shook her head, stood up, and said sternly, ”I can’t accept the flowers. Besides, I have no intention of considering romantic matters anytime soon.”

Xiaoye, still unwilling to give up, was about to speak...

Li Huiran’s brow tightened. ”You’re a veteran employee I personally promoted. I don’t want personal feelings to affect the trust I have in you.”

”President Li, I...”

Li Huiran spoke again, her tone now slightly harsh. ”The Sunny Day Project is currently under intense national scrutiny. It’s no longer a secret that we’re building an international martial city. The Zhao Family and Lin Family of Beijing have once again increased their investment, bringing the total to six hundred billion. For the sake of the work that lies ahead, I don’t want you leaving because of something like this.”

Li Huiran’s words were perfectly clear and cold-blooded. If Xiaoye insisted on pursuing her, she would fire him. She greatly admired his abilities and was moved by his previous actions, which was precisely why she spoke with such finality. She didn’t want to give him any false hope.

Dejected, Xiaoye messed up his hair, then gave a relieved smile. ”I knew this would be the outcome. I understand, President Li. I’ll focus on my work.”
