Xuxu came out of the office pantry with a cup of water . She settled in her seat and glanced at the time . It was almost 5 p . m . , almost time to clock off .
She leaned against the back of her chair as she tilted her head and shut her eyes . Her eyelashes and eyelids were slightly quivering .
Sigh . She couldn't stop whatever that was coming, and she would have to do whatever that needed to be done .
She sighed heavily in her heart and Xuxu's eyelids fluttered open . She placed the cup down and took her cell phone . She stood up, grabbed her bag and left the office while making a call .
"I'm Wen Xuxu . I'm on my way . "
She walked with heavy but determined footsteps .
…
Jincheng City .

"President Yan, the young madam had called for a press conference . She had apologized to Country Y for the scandal between her and Charles . " Qiao Jian had entered Yan Rusheng's room with a laptop in his hand after knocking on the door . He was quick on his footing towards Yan Rusheng who was buried in work .
After Yan Rusheng heard him, the pen he was holding jerked and stopped violently in mid-air . His gorgeous face seemed to be instantly clouded by a layer of gloom .
Qiao Jian placed the laptop in front of him and it was playing a video of Wen Xuxu at the press conference in the capital city .
She stood in front of the camera as beams of lights mercilessly flashed at her .
Nevertheless, she stood tall and straight and displayed neither inferiority nor superiority . She fluently answered all the questions asked by the reporters and appeared unruffled and composed .
But Yan Rusheng's heart seemed to be clenched tightly .
She was the prideful and aloof Wen Xuxu . She was Wen Xuxu, a person who was always able to stay levelheaded and indifferent .
Why would she care about such rumors? And she had chosen to apologize and clarify at a press conference .

His face was screwed up in concentration as he tried to guess what had happened . After a while, he had the answer in his heart . A chill air emanated from him and his eyes seemed to resemble a condensed layer of ice .
"Get prepared, we're returning to the capital city . "
His tone was decisive .
He got up and walked towards his wardrobe .
Qiao Jian peered out of the windows and he hesitated for a second before saying carefully . "President Yan, it's already getting dark… Are we really going back right now?"
Yan Rusheng turned his head and lifted his brow coldly . "Is there a problem?"
He stretched his hand, removed a coat from the wardrobe and put it over him .
Qiao Jian didn't dare to dawdle any longer and went to prepare .

In the dining room, Xuxu was drinking the ginger soup that Aunt Zhang had cooked for her . She had added coke to the soup and the heat made it no longer fizzy, leaving only sweetness .
For best results, Aunt Zhang had added more ginger to the soup to cure Xuxu's flu . But as a result, it became spicier and it irritated the latter's throat when she tried to drink it .
"I can't drink this, my throat hurts . "
She placed the bowl down and touched her throat, pretending to whine in front of Aunt Zhang .
Actually, she didn't intend to drink the soup at all . But because Aunt Zhang brewed the soup personally for her, she couldn't bear to waste her efforts .
Aunt Zhang didn't force her after Xuxu complained about the soup . She then said, "Then forget the soup, drink more water then . "
"Okay . " Xuxu smiled and nodded . "I'll go upstairs first . "
She stood up and was about to leave the dining room .
"Third Young Master is back . "
A servant announced his arrival .
Was he back? Xuxu lifted her head in surprise and Yan Rusheng, who was dressed impeccably, had already appeared at the entrance of the dining room .
When she saw his gorgeous face, a streak of happiness flashed past her eyes fleetingly, but it was too swift for anyone to notice .
That happiness stemmed from her heart and she couldn't control it .
Yan Rusheng gazed at her and stared at her aloof-looking face . It was only then that he did questioned himself . It was so late and he was travel-worn and weary from the journey, why exactly did he rush back?
If there needs to be a reason, he thought that… it should be due to love .
