The bag had the 'First Love' logo on it and Xuxu's eyes glinted . Subconsciously, she began to hasten her footsteps .
Of course, she knew that he didn't buy the cakes on the way as there weren't any 'First Love' outlets in the vicinity . The 'First Love' outlets could only be found in the city and other nearby business districts .
Yan Rusheng turned to Xuxu . "The orange juice is slightly chilly . You can warm it up if you want . "
Xuxu received the bag from him, and she peered at the contents inside without a word .
Yan Rusheng looked her intently with a trace of longing in his eyes . He said rather awkwardly, "Then, I'll make a move first . "
At that moment, Xuxu looked up and caught a glimpse of the longing and sorrow in his eyes .
It gently tugged at her heartstrings, and so she blurted out, "Let me get you a glass of water . "

She regretted almost immediately, and she felt like biting off her tongue .
Yan Rusheng nodded eagerly . "Sure . "
Exhilaration replaced the sorrow and longing in his eyes .
Without waiting for Xuxu to invite him, he strode across and walked towards the reception area .
Xuxu looked at him and the corners of her mouth twitched . She had a hunch he must have felt troubled .
"There is no need for any further discussion . Inform them that Flourish & Prosper will pull out our investment . "
Xuxu walked over with a cup of tea and overheard him talking on the phone . His tone sounded firm and determined .

She gently put the cup of tea on the coffee table and sat across him .
Yan Rusheng noticed Xuxu and lowered his volume . "Tomorrow I will personally make a trip there . Follow my instructions for now . I'm hanging up . "
He concluded the phone call and hung up .
He stretched his hand towards the cup of tea, blew on it gently, and sipped .
Xuxu looked at him and quietly studied his expression . She knew he must have met some difficulties at work .
She had never seen him look so hesitant after making a firm decision regarding work .
Xuxu felt worried when Yan Rusheng put down his cup . And to her, he softly said, "Xuxu, tomorrow I'm going to the coastal county for a work trip . I'll ask Aunt Zhang to accompany you . "
Wen Xuxu nodded . "Mm . "
She pressed her lips before asking . "Is there a problem with the project?"
She had made an intense struggle before asking him .
Yan Rusheng could tell from her expression that she was hesitating . Of course, he badly hurt her in the past, and so it must have been hard for her to take a step forward towards him .
He also knew that it was their child that gave him another chance to reconcile with her .
Xuxu was always level-headed and a rational person . She would always think of the bigger picture whenever she acted upon anything . And so, everything she did was for the sake of their child .
If it wasn't for the child, she would never forgive him . Her pride would prevent her from doing so .
He didn't want her to feel worried, so Yan Rusheng smiled . He replied, "Nothing serious . It's just that we met a problem regarding the demolishment . "
Xuxu didn't press on .
Actually, she wasn't sure if she would be of any help . What she should do now is to take good care of herself and not make him worried .
Yan Rusheng sat there for a short while, and he gulped down the rest of his water .
Before he left, he asked, "What do you want to eat for dinner tonight?"
Xuxu was staring at his long-fingered hands with clearly-defined knuckles . Her heart painfully tugged .
She replied, "Let's head out . "
