Those words were a blatant challenge to Sheng Yize’s love for her .
An Xiaxia frowned and said “excuse me,” ready to walk away from Lan Yu .
However, Lan Yu wasn’t going to let it drop . She said slowly, “You’re here today for the project with Mr . Xu, aren’t you? The Xu Group has been eagerly trying to join hands with the Song Group, and now that you and Sheng Yize are here in person, I bet Mr . Xu is over the moon . ”
What was that supposed to mean?
Wasn’t Mr . Xu reluctant to work with them?
Seeing the suspicious look on An Xiaxia’s face, Lan Yu rose to her feet and walked toward her . Her well-tailored dress moved in pretty waves as she walked . A slit ran up as high as her thighs, revealing her fair, sexy legs . She was really a rare beauty .
“Xiaxia, there’s this little secret I’ve been meaning to share with you . ” Lan Yu smiled, then whispered in An Xiaxia’s ear .
An Xiaxia’s face instantly turned ghastly pale .
She stared at Lan Yu in disbelief, but Lan Yu only looked back at her with a coquettish smile .
“What a surprise . ” Lan Yu’s red lips curled up and she caressed An Xiaxia’s cheek . “I almost pity you at times . Oh, by the way, Sheng Yize knows it, too . How much must he hate you? And he has to live with you all this time as if nothing happened . He even had two kids with you… sigh…”
The mention of her kids brought An Xiaxia back to reality .
She threw off Lan Yu’s hand and said harshly, “Don’t touch me!”
Lan Yu wasn’t offended at all . “It’s not right to vent your anger on an innocent bystander . ”
“I don’t believe you!” An Xiaxia bit her lip . “Lan Yu, stop trying your tricks on me! I’m not going to believe a word out of your mouth!”
Maybe she couldn’t tell how much Sheng Yize loved her with her eyes .

But, she had a heart .
Sheng Yize wasn’t exactly good-natured . He had many character flaws and he wasn’t as perfect as other people thought he was .
But, she had never doubted his love for her!
She walked toward Sheng Yize on trembling legs . Seeing her pale face, Sheng Yize frowned . “Xiaxia, what’s wrong?”
An Xiaxia held his hand so tight that she thought she was going to lose control .
That secret was such a hard blow to her…
She stared at that face within her reach — the beautiful eyes, stunning features, and that mesmerizing mole under his eye .
Would a man like this lie to her?
She began to waver .
“Xiaxia . ” Sheng Yize raised his voice a little as he called her name again, waking An Xiaxia up from her reverie . “Is Mr . Xu here?”
Sheng Yize looked around the room and nodded . “Yes . ”
He led An Xiaxia toward the man and Mr . Xu greeted them warmly . He cleared his throat after a stern look from Sheng Yize and put away that obsequious smile .
“From my personal point of view, I intend to work with Diguang Bank, but there are still many objections in my company . However, since Mr . and Mrs . Sheng have come here in person to demonstrate your sincerity, it would be too rude to turn you down . I’ll do my best to make this cooperation happen!”
It was a pitch that was neither humble nor pushy, with just the right amount of warmth .
He had been practicing it for days!
Sheng Yize was satisfied with his performance . He said unhurriedly, “In that case, I’m looking forward to hearing good news from Mr . Xu . ”
“Sure, sure . ”
They raised their glasses, clinked, and drank them down in one go .
An Xiaxia interjected suddenly, “If it’s too much trouble for Mr . Xu, we won’t press the matter further . Cooperation only works when both sides are willing . ”
That baffled Mr . Xu right away . That was not what Sheng Yize had said when the latter approached him!
