Her expression froze.
Suddenly, her phone rang. It was on the table. She glanced at it and saw the caller ID: "Qin-An."
She hurried to grab it, but he was quicker and got it first.
"Give it to !"
She reached out to snatch it back, but he easily pinned her hands behind her, holding her wrists so she couldn't move.
"Shen Yanshi!" she shouted, furious.
He looked at her, leisurely answering the call.
"Nuan-Nuan, are you done with work?" Qin-An's voice ca through the phone.
"Hello, Nuan-Nuan?"
"Can you hear ?"
Shen Yanshi didn't speak, just stared at her.
She lowered her voice and cursed at him, "Are you insane?"
He leaned in closer, pressing her, "Say it louder."
Qin-An sensed sothing was wrong and imdiately asked, "Nuan-Nuan? Can you hear ? Where are you?"
Shen Yanshi held the phone, smiling at her with a suggestive tone, "Nuan-Nuan, say sothing."
There was a brief silence on the other end, then Qin-An's voice erupted in anger.
"Shen Yanshi! Stay away from her! Nuan-Nuan is not soone you can toy with, you..."
Shen Yanshi hung up the phone and turned it off.
Xiang-Nuan had never seen Shen Yanshi act so irrationally.
"President Shen, don't you feel ashad doing this?" she mocked.
"I can do a lot more. Want to try?"
"You!"
He released her imdiately.

"Rember what I said, Xiang-Nuan. My patience is running out."
He tossed her phone back to her, opened the door, and walked out.
Forcing soone wasn't beyond him, but he preferred using other thods to make her co to him willingly.
The door slamd shut with a "bang."
Xiang-Nuan collapsed onto the bed and turned on her phone. Qin-An's call ca through imdiately.
"Hello? Nuan-Nuan! Are you okay?"
Xiang-Nuan felt drained, "I'm fine."
"I'm on my way now."
She rubbed her forehead, "Don't co. I'm very tired and need to sleep."
"Then earlier..."
"I was with Shen Yanshi."
"He bullied you?!"
"No, he just answered my call."
Qin-An was silent for a mont, then spoke with difficulty, "Nuan-Nuan, I've told you before, Shen Yanshi is very cunning and powerful. Don't get entangled with him."
"Qin-An, don't ddle in my affairs."
"Nuan-Nuan, why don't you trust ? I've already talked to my parents. Once my business in Peking City takes off, they won't interfere with my marriage anymore. My company is now on track, and by next year, it will start making profits. Can't we let the past go and have a fresh start?"
Xiang-Nuan thought of Qin-An's mother.
The first ti she t her was in their senior year of high school. She was dressed elegantly, scrutinizing Xiang-Nuan from head to toe with a disdainful look before saying, "Qin-An is young and easily influenced. A few won here and there don't matter, but it's just a fling, nothing serious."
Back then, she was naive and brave. She firmly told her, "I won't break up with Qin-An."
Now, looking back, she felt foolishly naive.
She had grown up and wouldn't believe those words anymore.
"Nuan-Nuan, I watched that drama, 'White Poplar.' You still rember our past, don't you? We were so good back then. You said you'd marry , and I said I'd marry you. You rember, right?"
"I rember."
She spoke slowly, "But I rember the seventeen-year-old Qin-An and Xiang-Nuan. That was a long ti ago."
"No matter how long, it's the sa. Nuan-Nuan, I've never changed!"
"But I have."

The next morning, Assistant Lin knocked and entered.
"President Shen, we've gathered information on Qin-An. Take a look."
Assistant Lin handed over a file.
"The Qin family was originally in Lin City, with modest assets, making their fortune in the steel business. Qin-An is their only son, and the family has rigorously grood him. He attended a top high school in Lin City. After he graduated, the whole family moved to Australia to engage in international trade."
"But now, international trade isn't doing well, so they returned to the country, aiming to establish themselves in Peking City. Qin-An founded Huisheng Trading, hoping to capture a share of the market here."
Shen Yanshi skimd through the file, asking calmly, "How's the progress?"
"It seems decent. The Qin family secured a big order through the Xie family. If they can fulfill this order, they might establish a foothold in Peking City."
Shen Yanshi's lips curled coldly, "Is that so?"
