Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
In her previous life, they couldn’t even be considered friends. Yet, in this life, He Huai seed to have taken a liking to her. Shen Wan couldn’t help but ponder – destiny was truly full of the unexpected, always throwing surprises.
But one thing was clear; she had no romantic feelings for He Huai at the mont.
Since he had already laid his cards on the table, she couldn’t be vague about it either. Although she hadn’t had a proper romantic relationship in both lifetis combined, Shen Wan had decent emotional intelligence. She understood that avoiding the topic might imply, “You can continue pursuing .” So, she planned to state her position during this opportunity.
“All Huai, I think it’s better for us to remain friends.”
“…What do you an?” He Huai’s voice dropped, and his heart sank.
Shen Wan could tell he was getting the ssage and decided to be straightforward, “I an, we shouldn’t…”
“Hey! I have a very important business call coming in; 1 can’t talk right now. I’ll get back to you later.”
Shen Wan was speechless.
A quarter of an hour later, He Huai called again, “These Germans are a pain. They’re so ticulous about this and that… By the way, where were we just now? Oh, my mory’s failing . Well, never mind.”
Shen Wan didn’t give a reply, and thought to herself, “You can keep up with the act.”
However, the atmosphere had shifted by now. Since He Huai intended to gloss over it, there was no need for her to expose the truth. As long as he understood, she wouldn’t want to make the situation ugly for him.
“Oh, you ntioned earlier that you were driving?”
“Yeah.”
“Where are you heading?”
“Mingda Group.”
“Wan Wan, I’ve been insanely busy lately,” He Huai suddenly said, “I don’t even have ti to invite you out for dinner or tea, or take you out to sowhere fun.”
Shen Wan chuckled and teased, “It seems like you’re the one who can’t sit still and wants to go out and have fun. Why drag into it?”
“Hey! That’s not very romantic of you.”
“I don’t need romance.”
Okay, you win.
Shen Wan could sense he wasn’t making things up from his tone and slightly probing, “What major project is keeping you so busy?”
“It’s simply about a proposal to increase capital. The old man was adamant that 1 join him, and there was no changing his mind. This week alone, I’ve been on business trips for six days, hopping between eight different countries, and I haven’t had a good night’s rest.”
“Normally, projects that require frequent travel are usually assigned to subordinates. Why are you…”
“Yeah, I can’t figure out what the old man is thinking either. He probably read those worthless motivational articles online and decided to send on so sort of training mission. Why doesn’t he sign up for ‘tamorphosis’ instead? He’s driving crazy…”
The contributor of motivational articles, Sixth Lord, sat in the spacious conference room of Mingda Group, lazily but gracefully sneezed.
Shen Chunjiang signaled with a glance, and his assistant silently raised the central air conditioning by two degrees.
As Shen Wan drove, she listened to He Huai complain about his father. Even when stuck in traffic, she didn’t find it boring at all.
“I’m almost there.”
He Huai hesitated, “Oh, alright then. After I’m done with this busy period, I’ll treat you to dinner. Let’s make it clear now, you’re not allowed to refuse!”
“Sure.”
If He Huai took her words to heart and stayed within a safe distance, Shen Wan wouldn’t mind having another friend.
After all, this guy was adorably foolish and fun to tease.
After finding a parking space and parking the car with precision, Shen Wan looked to the side and casually put the rose on the center console before getting out.
Even through the windshield, the red rose alongside the red sports car added a touch of romance.
After so thought, Shen Wan leaned over and reached between the passenger seat and the car door. After a mont of searching, she pulled out a bracelet. Even with a bit of dust on it, the platinum chain and the sparkling white diamonds still shone brilliantly, unable to hide their radiance..
