Lin Yue returned to the rental house, as if all the strength had been drained away, collapsed on the somewhat worn out sofa. In her mind, the scenes of the night of the yacht party flashed like a light, Shen Yifeng's tenderness, Xiaoyan's difficulties, and the surrounding people's gazes with contempt, stirring up her heart in turmoil. She picked up her cell phone and looked at the text message sent by Shen Yifeng, the short text, but like a fire, ignited the flame called expectation in her heart, but immediately after, reason and a pot of cold water poured down, so that she soberly realized that the class gap between the two people, like an insurmountable mountain.
"What's wrong with me? How could I have such unrealistic fantasies about him?" Lin Yue muttered, her voice filled with confusion and struggle. Her parents were ordinary laborers, running around all day long to make a living, growing up in such an environment, she had long gotten used to the plainness and hardships of life, and was also well aware of the huge difference brought about by wealth and status. Shen Yifeng, the man who stands at the top of the business world, and her life should not have any intersection, but fate is like a joke, they are involved together.
The next day, Lin Yue walked into the advertising agency with two dark circles under her eyes. She is a copywriter, usually work conscientiously and responsible, but today, how the mind can not concentrate. The documents on the computer screen, those jumping cursors, just like her disorganized thoughts at the moment.
"Lin Yue, take a look at this plan you handed in, is this still your usual level?" Supervisor Sister Wang's voice was sharp and urgent, breaking the calm in the office. Lin Yue snapped back to her senses, looking at the document on the screen that was full of annotations and red crosses, only to be shocked to realize that she had made many low-level mistakes.
"Sister Wang, I'm really sorry, I'm not in a good state today, I'll change it right away." Lin Yue lowered her head, her voice carrying a few points of guilt and helplessness. Sister Wang frowned, her tone easing slightly, "You're usually quite serious about your work, what's going on today? If you have something on your mind, adjust your state first, don't delay the progress of the project." Lin Yue nodded, secretly blaming herself in her heart, how could she make work like this because of her feelings.
It was hard to get through to the end of work, Lin Yue dragged her tired body out of the company's door. The afterglow of the setting sun sprinkled on her, but failed to bring her a trace of warmth. Right at this moment, a black luxury car slowly stopped in front of her. The car window rolled down, revealing Shen Yifeng's handsome and concerned face.
"Lin Yue, get in the car, I'll send you home." Shen Yifeng's voice was gentle and firm, like a light in the darkness, instantly dispelling the haze in Lin Yue's heart. Lin Yue was surprised and happy, but looking at the curious gazes cast by colleagues around her, her heart was a little hesitant: "This ... isn't good, will it be too much trouble for you." Shen Yifeng seemed to have read her mind and said with a smile, "It's not troublesome, I just want to stay with you for a while longer."
Lin Yue got into the car, and a faint, reassuring perfume smell filled the car. Shen Yifeng drove while saying, "I'm really sorry about yesterday, Xiaoyan went too far, I didn't expect her to do something like that." Lin Yue quickly waved her hand, "I don't blame you, it's because I was out of place with that occasion that so many things happened." Shen Yifeng looked at her seriously, his gaze firm, "Lin Yue, don't say that, you are very good, different from them, in my eyes, you are the most special being." Lin Yue raised her head and met Shen Yifeng's gaze, at that moment, she felt like her heart had been hit by something, and her cheeks flushed slightly, and she said softly, "Thank you for saying so."
The car stopped under Lin Yue's house, Shen Yifeng suddenly pulled her hand, his eyes full of anticipation, "Lin Yue, I want to see you again, will you have dinner together tomorrow night?" Lin Yue's heartbeat steeply accelerated, looking at Shen Yifeng's affectionate eyes, she was at a loss for words. Her heart was like two little people fighting, one saying say yes, what a wonderful destiny; the other was reminding her that the gap between you is too big. After hesitating for a long time, she still gently nodded. A bright smile bloomed on Shen Yifeng's face, "Then I'll come pick you up tomorrow."
Lin Yue returned home and lay on her bed, filled with excitement and apprehension. She knew that her relationship with Shen Yifeng was undergoing a subtle change, a change that made her both expectant and afraid. She looked at the ceiling, silently thinking in her heart: "Am I too greedy, wanting this unattainable love? What should I do in case I'm the one who gets hurt in the end?"
At the same time, when Xiaoyan learned that Shen Yifeng had sent Lin Yue home, the flames of jealousy blazed in her heart, almost devouring her. She sat in the luxurious living room of her house, a hint of ruthlessness flashed in her eyes, "Lin Yue, who do you think you are? How dare you steal Shen Yifeng from me, I definitely won't let you live well." After saying that, she picked up her cell phone and dialed a phone number: "Hey, Brother Zhang, I have something I want to ask you to help ... You find a reliable person and make a good show of that Lin Yue during their dinner, money is not a problem."
The next night, Shen Yifeng came to pick up Lin Yue on time. Lin Yue was wearing a simple but elegant white dress, her fresh and unassuming temperament made Shen Yifeng's eyes light up, "You're so beautiful, just like a white rose blooming under the moonlight, pure and charming." Lin Yue's cheeks instantly reddened, lowered her head and whispered, "Don't you tease me."
The two came to an upscale restaurant, where the warm yellow candlelight flowed like a gentle lullaby in this quiet space, intertwining with the melodious music to create a romantic atmosphere. Shen Yifeng ordered a table of Lin Yue's favorite dishes, and the two ate and talked. Shen Yifeng recounted interesting stories in the business world, Lin Yue listened intently, and from time to time let out a crisp laugh.
Just at this time, a waiter carrying dishes hurriedly came, suddenly slipped, the whole plate of dishes straight toward Lin Yue splashed. Lin Yue let out a cry of horror and subconsciously closed her eyes. However, the expected mess did not appear, she only felt a warmth to wrap herself tightly. When she opened her eyes, Shen Yifeng had stopped in front of her body at some point, and her back was soaked with vegetable juice, making her slightly wretched.
"Are you alright?" Shen Yifeng turned his head in concern and looked at Lin Yue. Lin Yue's eyes were slightly red, her heart filled with emotion, "I'm fine, are you? Are you hurt?" Shen Yifeng shook his head and smiled, "I'm fine, as long as you're fine." After saying that, he turned his head to look at the waiter, his face instantly grim, "How do you do your job?" The waiter was so scared that his face was pale and stammered, "Yes ... I'm sorry, I didn't do it on purpose."
Seeing this, the restaurant manager rushed over and simply apologized, saying that he would deal with the matter seriously. Shen Yifeng, however, coldly opened his mouth, "This is not so simple, I suspect that someone deliberately directed it." With that, he took out his cell phone and dialed, "Hey, help me check the waiters in this restaurant tonight to see what's wrong."
Just as the crowd was at a standstill, the waiter suddenly flung himself to his knees and said with a trembling voice, "I'm sorry, someone gave me a large sum of money to do this. But I just saw this gentleman get splashed all over himself in order to protect this young lady, and I just can't live with my conscience." Shen Yifeng frowned slightly and asked, "Who instructed you?" The waiter hesitated and said, "It was a young lady named Xiaoyan." Shen Yifeng's face grew more and more somber, "It's really her, Xiaoyan, you've gone too far." Lin Yue was shocked in her heart, she didn't think that Xiaoyan would really do such a thing.
Shen Yi Feng looked at Lin Yue and said firmly, "Lin Yue, don't worry, I won't let her hurt you again." Lin Yue looked at Shen Yi Feng's firm eyes, a sense of security welled up in her heart and she gently nodded her head.
On the other hand, Li Ming was annoyed in his heart when he learned that Shen Yifeng had made new progress on the new business project. He paced back and forth in his office, like a trapped beast, "Shen Yifeng, don't get complacent too early, I won't let you succeed easily." Saying this, he dialed a mysterious person's phone, "Hey, it's me, the plan can start ... You go and give me a good check on that woman called Lin Yue, I don't believe that she doesn't have any leverage at all. I heard that she and Shen Yifeng family business early years of commercial disputes a little relationship, you give me along this line to dig deep."
Shen Yifeng took Lin Yue out of the restaurant and sent her home before rushing back to the company. He knew deep down that Li Ming wouldn't let up, he had to solve the problem of the business project as soon as possible, and at the same time, he had to protect Lin Yue with all his might.
Lin Yue returned home, her mood unable to calm down for a long time. She was touched by Shen Yifeng's protection and was filled with worry about the future. She sat in front of the window and looked out at the night, the fear and longing in her heart constantly pulling at her, "What the hell am I supposed to do? Can I really cross this class divide and be with him? What will he think if he knows the secret I've hidden in my heart?"
It was late at night, and Lin Yue lay on her bed, looking out the window at the starry sky, her thoughts running wild. She didn't know what awaited herself and Shen Yifeng tomorrow, but she was clear that they had to face the challenges of the future hand in hand. At this time, Shen Yifeng was busy in the company, looking at the business documents on the computer, thinking that Li Ming's conspiracy might implicate Lin Yue, his heart was weighing hard between business interests and protecting his lover, "No matter what the cost, I can't let Lin Yue be hurt for a single moment, I have to guard her, as well as my career."
