Yan Rusheng had gone on a work trip to settle important issues, so it would mean that he should be hustling or entertaining potential clients—not lounging back at his hotel at such an early hour .
But even so, Xuxu sent him a text .
'Have you eaten dinner?'
'Will you be able to come back tomorrow?'
She thought she would have to wait for some time before receiving his reply . To her surprise, her phone rang almost immediately .
She instantly picked up the phone .
A familiar voice—that she had missed very much—echoed from the other line . "Xuxu, are you thinking of me?"

He sounded a little tipsy, and there were sounds of the clattering of cutlery in the background . He should be in the midst of dinner .
Xuxu's heart softened a little when she heard his voice . She quickly responded, "So, any progress?"
"It's settled . I can go home tomorrow . " Yan Rusheng's voice sounded contented and sluggish .
His voice sounded exceedingly attractive . Xuxu responded, "Okay, then go back to the hotel and rest early . "
"President Yan, why are you here? We were all looking for you . "
A middle-aged man's voice sounded in the background, and he sounded drunk too .
Xuxu knew that he must be busy . "Go ahead and don't drink too much . "
When she was about to end the call, Yan Rusheng suddenly confessed, "Xuxu, I miss you so much that I wish I could fly back to you right now . "

His gentle voice seemed like warm current coursing through her whole body . She had completely surrendered to him . "Come back soon," she softly said .
Then she hung up .
She went to her photo gallery and clicked on a locked photo album . She had secretly taken pictures of him while he was unaware .
She browsed through the photos one by one .
'Love is long-lasting . '
'Love is when you start to miss him the moment he is out of sight . ' As she thought to herself .
…
The next morning, a phone call had awakened Xuxu from her slumber . She sleepily squinted her eyes to glance at the screen .
She didn't save this number, but she could distinctly recall that it was Qiao Jian's .
She used to be Yan Rusheng's secretary while he was his assistant . Both of them used to work closely together, so she could still vaguely remember his number .
It jolted her awake . She then picked up the call . "Hello, Qiao Jian . "
Qiao Jian had called her so early in the morning, and she had a bad feeling that something terrible must have happened .
She scrambled and sat upright .
Qiao Jian's anxious voice traveled to her ears . "Lady boss, Boss wanted me to convey a message . Please trust him and remain calm . "
Upon hearing what he had said, Xuxu's heart furiously thudded . Her free hand tightly gripped the blanket . "What happened?"
She thought reading the news might be faster than hearing it from Qiao Jian . So she hung up and searched online .
'Flourish & Prosper's President, commonly known as Third Young Master, was drunk last night and had an intimate relationship with three high school girls . The police are investigating now . Third Young Master might be charged with the crime of having intimate relationships with under-aged girls…'
Xuxu stared at her phone in disbelief and shock . Her phone slid out of her hands .
Left dumbstruck, she recovered after a while and composed herself . She shook her head and muttered to herself, "No, this is impossible . "
Yan Rusheng would never do something like that . He didn't need such intimacy, and he wasn't someone who would do that .
This was a conspiracy .
Xuxu picked up her phone and flung her blanket away . She went to the living room and turned on the TV .
She changed to the capital city's news channel and true enough, Flourish & Prosper was on the news .
