His words were undoubtedly meant to reassure Xu Zhilin, signaling that if Xu Zhiyuan were to target Xu Zhilin, he wouldn't stand by and do nothing.
Xu Zhilin, though an honest man, had clearly understood what was meant and momentarily set aside his worries to focus on his meal.
That afternoon, Zuo Xingyun had plans to go out with Xu Zhilin. It was hot, and he didn't want Xiang Wan to tag along, so he told her to make her own arrangements.
Not wanting to spend another afternoon alone at the office, Xiang Wan went to the dessert shop with Alan's company.
Shi Nian'an hadn't arrived yet today, and the shop wasn't busy around noon, very peaceful. The staff, mostly resting after their meal, were leisurely playing with their phones.
When they saw her coming, they quickly put away their phones.
She said with a smile, "Don't be nervous. There are no customers now, and it's the middle of the day. You should play if you want to."
Hearing her say this, they all relaxed again.
