" Yuexi, you need to take a look at this document," her colleague said, placing an urgent file on her desk.
Lin Yuexi sat at her desk, focused on reviewing the document in her hands. She knew this was her chance to prove her capabilities. She had to make it flawless.
Lin Yuexi quickly skimmed through the file and then offered her opinions. Her professionalism and efficiency caught the attention of her colleagues around her.
Lu Tingchen stood by the glass window of the office, his gaze inadvertently landing on Lin Yuexi.
He was surprised by how focused she was on her work. She seemed different from the girl he remembered, who was always so cautious.
"Mr. Lu, Lin Yuexi's handling of the matter is very professional," Zhou Han reported.
Lu Tingchen nodded but remained silent, his eyes never leaving Lin Yuexi.
Feeling his gaze upon her made Lin Yuexi a bit uncomfortable; she blushed and picked up her coat, opening the office door.
She walked down the corridor that led to the entrance.
"Wait."
A deep, magnetic voice called out, resonating with masculine charm.
"Miss Lin, are you in such a hurry to leave? If you're not pressed for time, I have another case I need your help with."
"I..." Lin Yuexi said softly, "I have something urgent."
"Urgent? Did your boyfriend get into an accident?" Or were you just brushing me off?
"Whatever the reason, I need you to stay and work right now."
His expression was cold, as if other people's emotions had nothing to do with him.
Reluctantly, she stayed and worked in his office until dark.
In the evening, an assistant brought in two boxes of takeout, elegantly packaged and clearly from the city's most expensive top-tier restaurant.
She stood up awkwardly, her feet still unsteady, as Lu Tingchen looked at the documents and said in a commanding tone,
"Sit down."
"Mr. Lu, this isn't appropriate."
"What? You don't like it?" Lu Tingchen raised an eyebrow.
He wrinkled his handsome nose.
"I'm not in a good mood today and need someone to have dinner with me."
He had always been like this, oblivious to her feelings.
In the past, she would always agree to his demands, careful and anxious, fearing even the slightest hint of his dissatisfaction.
But five years had passed, and she was no longer the same Lu Yuexi.
"No." She bit her lip and immediately stood up.
She dared not look up; she knew that what followed would surely be a storm.
Trying to maintain her composure, her hand trembled slightly on the doorknob.
In the past, whenever he lost his temper, she would be too scared to do anything but clutch her chest.
Before he could explode, she left the office.
Lu Tingchen was left behind in the office for the first time.
Lin Yuexi's apartment was small and simple, but it symbolized her independence.
When Lu Tingchen stood at her apartment door, his brows furrowed involuntarily.
Lin Yuexi thought he had come to confront her, but to her surprise, his first words were:
"This place isn't safe; you need to move out." Lu Tingchen's voice was firm and unwavering.
Lin Yuexi felt a wave of surprise wash over her, finding his insistence baffling.
"No, I won't be moving," she replied resolutely.
Lu Tingchen gazed into her determined eyes, a surge of inexplicable emotions rising within him.
He remembered how she used to be, always standing by her decisions, even in front of him.
Like that time five years ago when she ran away from home.
"This is for your own good," he said, his tone softening slightly.
For five years, he had been searching for her, though she remained unaware of it.
"I know, but I can take care of myself."
Though Lin Yuexi's voice was gentle, it was filled with strength.
Lu Tingchen fell silent; he understood that she was no longer the girl who needed protection.
