Chapter 92: Chapter 92: Wait for Me to Come Back and Pacify You

"Impact? What impact?"

Naturally, it’s about the company’s impact!

Xie Linchuan didn’t speak, and Liang Shiyu also remained silent, watching Xie Linchuan with an evident look of worry.

After a while, Xie Linchuan finally said, "It’s nothing, they’ll resolve it themselves, mainly I’m worried Yanchuan might not be happy if he sees it."

"Let’s have breakfast first." As Xie Linchuan spoke, he handed the phone back to Liang Shiyu, then put his arm around her shoulder and led her towards the dining room.

Liang Shiyu’s body stiffened, but she still followed Xie Linchuan to the dining room, although her mind was still preoccupied with the matter.

She actually knew that there probably wasn’t anything between that man and Xu Jinzhi, but what difference did it make?

Didn’t the Xie Family dislike her for being in the entertainment industry?

Now Xu Jinzhi was also being heavily criticized online for some personal issues, shouldn’t the Xie Family have an opinion on Xu Jinzhi as well?

Sometime after ten in the morning, upon waking up from his drunkenness, He Jingyi looked at his phone filled with a pile of calls and WeChat messages.

He clicked into them somewhat irritably, and then was stunned, as the events of the previous night flooded his mind.

At that moment, He Jingyi felt utterly humiliated!

But the key point wasn’t about his humiliation; it was about his actions causing Xu Jinzhi to face all sorts of abuse.

Annoyed beyond his own embarrassment, He Jingyi was angry at the nonsensical netizens and also at himself for causing trouble for Xu Jinzhi.

So, He Jingyi went online to clear things up, not just that, but he also directly lashed back at those who had insulted Xu Jinzhi excessively.

He Jingyi just sat on the bed reeking of alcohol, not bothering to wash up or eat breakfast, even less to think about work. He kept quarreling with netizens until He Group’s staff knocked on his door and hurried over.

On the other hand, Xu Jinzhi was unaware of what had happened. At lunch, she took a moment to make a video call to Xie Yanchuan but inadvertently felt that something seemed a bit off with Yanchuan.

Xu Jinzhi, feeling concerned, couldn’t help asking, "What’s wrong? Did something happen?"

Xie Yanchuan blinked, his tone still indifferent, "Nothing’s happened."

Xu Jinzhi still felt something was amiss and frowned, saying earnestly, "No, there definitely is something."

Xie Yanchuan pursed his lips as if there really was something and he seemed to want to keep it from Xu Jinzhi.

"What are you hiding from me?" Xu Jinzhi asked with feigned seriousness.

"Isn’t it you who’s been hiding something?" Xie Yanchuan retorted, his tone lacking any interrogation but instead carried a hint of grievance.

"Me?" Xu Jinzhi was taken aback.

Looking at Xie Yanchuan’s expression, Xu Jinzhi quickly recalled in her mind. If it was about what she had been hiding from Xie Yanchuan, there was quite a lot, and definitely the kind that she couldn’t tell Xie Yanchuan.

So what exactly had Xie Yanchuan found out?

Xu Jinzhi felt a bit panicked at her core. She wasn’t about to be exposed, was she?

Xu Jinzhi tried to remain calm and asked Xie Yanchuan, "What have I hidden from you?"

Yet, even with her composure, Xie Yanchuan could see Xu Jinzhi’s guilty conscience.

In truth, he knew in his heart that Xu Jinzhi had nothing to do with He Jingyi, but he just felt a vague discomfort, which became increasingly evident as he saw Xu Jinzhi’s guilt-stricken expression at that moment.

"Has He Jingyi been looking for you again these past few days?" Xie Yanchuan asked in a low voice.

Startled, Xu Jinzhi looked at Xie Yanchuan, wondering why the topic had changed so abruptly. But it didn’t take long for Xu Jinzhi to remember—it was about He Jingyi!

Realization dawned on Xu Jinzhi, and she then asked, "So, you’re behaving so awkwardly because of He Jingyi?"

Xie Yanchuan didn’t say anything, which was as good as admitting it. Yet as Xie Yanchuan gazed at Xu Jinzhi, he felt somewhat puzzled at the bottom of his heart.

He could sense Xu Jinzhi’s initial guilt was real, and her face of utter disbelief when he brought up He Jingyi was genuine too.

That meant from the start she didn’t take He Jingyi’s matter seriously, which explained the relieved sensation she had when He Jingyi was mentioned.

Then, what was Xu Jinzhi hiding from him?

"He’s just a fool. I can’t be bothered with him," Xu Jinzhi said.

Xie Yanchuan came back to his senses, setting aside the matter of what Xu Jinzhi might be hiding from him, "He said he will wait for you forever."

"I swear, even if it’s until the end of time or when the seas run dry and the stones crumble, I will absolutely never go back," Xu Jinzhi solemnly declared.

Xie Yanchuan continued watching Xu Jinzhi with calmness, neither expressing belief nor disbelief.

After a brief silence, Xu Jinzhi coaxed, "Come on now, I’ll be back tomorrow, and then I’ll make it up to you properly."

Hearing Xu Jinzhi’s promise to appease him, Xie Yanchuan felt a bit embarrassed, but he didn’t reject the idea. Deep down, he too wanted Xu Jinzhi to appease him.

"Then I’ll go get busy."

"Mhm," Xie Yanchuan responded faintly, appearing somewhat tsundere.

Xu Jinzhi felt a touch helpless and said softly, "Love you."

Having said that, Xu Jinzhi hung up the video call as quickly as she could, shivering uncontrollably, her whole body breaking out in goosebumps from that single sentence.

And Xie Yanchuan didn’t get a chance to say anything, looking at the already disconnected video, recalling what Xu Jinzhi had just told him?

She spoke very quickly, but he heard it.

The slight discomfort Xie Yanchuan had felt all morning seemed to vanish at this moment. He looked down, barely stopping himself from curling his lips into a smile.

In the afternoon, He Jingyi saw Xu Jinzhi again. He wanted to approach her and apologize for the trouble he’d caused her with his drunken, nonsensical talk.

But Xu Jinzhi was busy. After seeing He Jingyi, she didn’t say anything and continued on with her work.

He Jingyi felt very downhearted, suddenly thinking that it wasn’t without reason that Xu Jinzhi didn’t like him.

The next day.

Xie Yanchuan didn’t come to pick up Xu Jinzhi. Once she got off the plane, she headed straight back to the company.

She had no choice; she had a meeting to attend soon and needed to get back to the office first.

The meeting was with the Xie Group, and Xie Suian didn’t come; it was Xie Linchuan who attended.

The meeting went relatively smoothly. Although Xu Jinzhi was not entirely satisfied with several of the proposals, they were meant for discussion, and dissatisfaction was to be expected, so it didn’t really matter.

However, after the meeting ended, Xie Linchuan called Xu Jinzhi aside.

Xu Jinzhi frowned slightly. She always had this feeling—if Xie Linchuan wanted to speak to her privately, it definitely wouldn’t be good news!

"What now, is there something else?" Xu Jinzhi asked, clearly impatient.
