CHAPTER 277: CHAPTER 291: THIS IS WHAT YOU SAID YOURSELF

On the night they arrived in Z City, he knew that the person coming to negotiate the project this time was Lan Shan. Because of Beichen Rui’s involvement, he didn’t think much about signing the contract, which resulted in the scene of Lan Shan standing in the office for a long time in the morning.

He wasn’t unwilling to cooperate; he just wanted to delay for a few days to make Beichen Rui a bit anxious.

Due to some issues, he wasn’t in a good mood today, which is why he asked Lan Shan to accompany him out to have some fun.

However, he never expected that Lan Shan had a fear of heights. If he had known earlier, he wouldn’t have brought her here.

At this moment, Gong Shaoyu felt extremely guilty, looking down at Lan Shan, emotions surging in his eyes.

"Shanshan, could you please not scare me? Wake up quickly! As long as you wake up, don’t say just one document; ten, a hundred, it’s all okay!"

Just as Gong Shaoyu’s words finished, the person in his arms stirred, "Those were your words, I never forced you."

The next second, Lan Shan opened her eyes, dazedly looking at Gong Shaoyu, "Everyone heard you, you can’t lie."

Seeing that she was alright, everyone let out a sigh of relief, and Gong Shaoyu’s suspended heart finally settled. With a smile, he said, "I said it, as long as you’re okay."

Lan Shan gave a sweet smile, her gaze directly meeting Gong Shaoyu’s, "Thank you."

She had been worrying about how to get him to sign the documents earlier and didn’t expect to turn misfortune into a blessing this time.

As their eyes met, Lan Shan only felt his gaze was too deep to fathom. In a moment, she lowered her eyes, not daring to look at him. At this moment, leaning in his embrace, she could hear his strong heartbeat by her ear.

Her cheeks flushed a bit unnaturally, and suddenly, the spot where her heart was felt as though it had been fiercely struck by something, like the warm sunshine of early spring shining in, so very warm...

She moved her hand and then realized she was holding onto his clothes. She gave an awkward smile. When the staff helped them unbuckle their safety belts, she hurriedly tried to stand up.

Her head was still a bit dizzy, and just as she stood up, she stumbled a couple of times. Gong Shaoyu quickly supported her, asking with some concern, "Are you alright? Do you want to go to the hospital for a check-up?"

"I’m fine, I’ll be okay after a rest. No need to make a fuss."

Seeing her like this, her face extremely pale, her eyes full of guilt, he said, "I didn’t know you had a fear of heights. If I had known earlier, I wouldn’t have let you play this."

Lan Shan: "It’s okay, I wanted to play it myself. If I didn’t want to, you couldn’t have forced me, and besides, I didn’t tell you in advance, how can I blame you?"

Gong Shaoyu supported Lan Shan as they went to the locker, took their things, and then left together.

Back in the car, Lan Shan leaned against the car window, closed her eyes to rest, while Gong Shaoyu concentrated on driving.

Instead of going back to the company, he sent her to the place where Ye Xinluo lived. Only after confirming she was really alright did he leave.

Lan Shan lay on the bed, blankly staring at the ceiling, and without realizing how long she had been looking, she fell asleep unknowingly.

...

Beichen Group Building.

Ye Xinluo picked up her bag, ready to leave work. Just as she walked to the company entrance, a limited edition sports car slowly stopped beside her.

Glancing suspiciously, she saw the passenger-side window roll down, with Beichen Rui sitting in the driver’s seat, looking at her.

"Get in the car."

"Where are we going?" She didn’t get in immediately but asked a question.

"Grandfather asked me to take you home for dinner," Beichen Rui explained patiently.
