Xuxu bent her head and gazed down at the arms around her waist . Her mouth curled with a blissful smile . "That was… My Lucky Star . "
"I won't let you off the hook tonight if you don't tell me . " Yan Rusheng could tell that Xuxu didn't want to tell him, so he lifted her up and walked towards the bed .
He flung Xuxu on the comfy, spacious bed, and followed then after . He just laid next to her, his arms propped against the bed to support his weight . He didn't rush to attempt anything . Instead, he just fixed his gaze on Xuxu . .
Xuxu could feel her heart pounding wildly inside her chest . She bit her lips and whispered, "I'll tell you when the story has ended, alright?"
"That depends on your performance then . " Yan Rusheng immediately pounced on her after giving her a devious smile .

The contract with Country Y was finally signed . The Board of Directors were once again impressed with Xuxu's capability .

The deal with Country Y had brought Flourish & Prosper to greater heights and glory .
Naturally, more came flocking to fawn over Flourish & Prosper .

When afternoon tea break rolled around, Xuxu made a cup of oatmeal for herself . As she was absentmindedly stirring her cup, she was also skimming through some documents .
Her phone suddenly rang, taking her attention off of the document . She took a quick glance over her phone screen and then picked it up immediately when he saw who it was .
"Hello, Secretary Liu," she spoke over the phone as she began to walk towards Yan Rusheng's office .
She hazarded a guess that Secretary Liu called regarding the acquisition of the land for Tiny Stars Orphanage . It wasn't such a good idea to discuss with him in the main office, so she rushed towards Yan Rusheng's private office instead .
It had been a long time since Madam Wu and Xuxu turned in the required documents for acquisition, and it had been that long since they waited for the authorities' approval .
But after a long time of waiting, Madam Wu called Xuxu earlier that morning to inform her that the authorities called her . She intended to call Secretary Liu after work to inquire about the progress, but Seretary Liu beat her to it .
Secretary Liu answered, "Madam Yan, The land for Tiny Stars Orphanage has been settled . When would you be able to sign the contract with the landowner?"
Xuxu's eyes sparkled with joy . "That's great! Thank you so much, Secretary Liu . "
"It's nothing much, it's my honor to be of service to you . "
"I'll arrange with Madam Wu tomorrow . "
She could only rest easy after the contract's been signed, so she had to settle this quickly .
"Sure . " Secretary Liu continued, "Anyways, just wondering, are you and President Yan available tonight? I've just came from a meeting and I finally have some free time . The President have always been generous to me and I just want to return the favor by inviting you both to dinner . "
Xuxu politely refused, "Secretary Liu, you're too courteous . We've sought your help so naturally, we should be the ones to give you a treat . Please don't take it to heart . "
Besides, both she and Yan Rusheng didn't like having connections with corrupt government officials like he was . Furthermore, she was Fang Jiayin's uncle — naturally, she wouldn't try to associate herself with him .
After that night merely three years ago, she yielded to circumstances and never once more fought for her own good . But now that she has what she had always dreamt of, she wanted to at least try and fight for herself this time around .
It would seem perhaps that she was simply deceiving herself if she had prevented them from meeting each other . But that was better than her suffering in pain as she watches them relieve fond memories together .
