"Director Shen..." Upon hearing these two words, I suddenly looked up at Cheng Haifeng, who happened to glance at me as well, but quickly averted his gaze and left the office. I didn't confront him on the spot, as there were outsiders present. Once they all walked out, I shook Zhang Yun, who was still engrossed in his game.
"Huh? Xingxing, what's wrong?" Zhang Yun was so caught up in the game that he didn't immediately respond to my interruption.
"Who is the chairman of Chengxing? Why did the secretary just say it's Director Shen? You told me Cheng Haifeng is an old acquaintance of the president of this group, and the only person he knows with the surname Shen is..."
"Is it someone else?" Zhang Yun's eyes sparkled with anticipation as he looked at me.
I hesitated to say that person's name, feeling a tangled mess in my heart and my thoughts in disarray. I couldn't help but stand up and pace around the room, my steps appearing somewhat frantic.
"Xingxing, stop pacing; you're making me dizzy. What were you going to say?"
"Is it him?" I stopped walking, my gaze vacant and unfocused as I turned my face toward Zhang Yun. He didn't answer but lowered his head to continue playing the game.
Meanwhile, in the president's office, Cheng Haifeng pushed open the door and saw Shen Yulin buried in writing something at his desk. Seeing him looking so relaxed, Cheng Haifeng couldn't help but feel amused: "I say, aren't you anxious? The person is right here in my office."
Shen Yulin didn't lift his head and replied, "I have dinner plans with her tonight."
"Hey, Mr. Shen, what are you thinking? Just showing up in front of her like this and asking to be together? She hasn't been as obedient as she used to be these past few years."
"I know. Since I returned this time, I haven't thought about letting her go."
"Good luck then."
...
"I'll go to the restroom," I said to Zhang Yun before opening the door and stepping out. After washing my face at the sink, I tried to take deep breaths to calm myself, but each inhale only made my chest feel heavier. Various possible outcomes kept flashing through my mind; I felt as if I were trapped in an inescapable nightmare.
In the corridor, I wandered aimlessly until I heard a door open in the distance. Someone was walking toward me; the sudden sound of footsteps broke the silence of the corridor. I turned to look and saw a sharply tailored suit on this person that fit him perfectly. His polished shoes shone brightly. As I looked up further, that familiar feeling enveloped me instantly; it felt as if I had been frozen in place by some spell.
The figure approached closer until a shadow fell before me; the footsteps came to an abrupt halt, leaving the entire corridor silent.
"Xingxing."
This person before me was someone I had imagined reuniting with countless times during late nights. Yet when he actually stood in front of me, all the words I'd built up seemed lost.
I didn't speak; instead, I stared blankly at him. He had shed his youthful naivety and appeared more refined and composed now. My heart inexplicably ached; this was not how I had envisioned our reunion.
"Xingxing."
"Hello, Director Shen." A flicker of surprise crossed his eyes but quickly faded into calmness.
"It's been a long time; you've become more beautiful." His voice remained gentle as if we had never parted ways.
I forced a smile. "Thank you; you've become even more handsome."
The atmosphere grew awkward as neither of us knew what to say next. Finally, he broke the silence: "How have you been these past few years?"
"Not bad, how about you?" I lowered my head, fiddling with my fingers.
"I'm doing well too, just been busy with work." He paused, "Actually, I've been wanting to find a chance to apologize to you for what happened back then..."
I looked up and met his gaze, "Let's leave the past behind; we've both grown up."
He smiled slightly, "Yeah, time really flies. By the way, do you have a boyfriend now?"
My heart raced, "Not yet."
He nodded slightly, "Then... would you be willing to give me a chance?"
