The Obsessive Tycoon Claims the Deserted Heiress Chapter 83 - 082: Unlucky Star

"They wouldn't dare have an opinion." He was accustod to being in a high position, and his words carried an invisible pressure.

Even though he held back a bit in front of Yu Zhi, that innate deanor couldn't be concealed.

"Alright." A hint of amusent flickered in Yu Zhi's eyes. She stopped overthinking and let him hold her hand as they walked into the eting room.

At that mont, the conference table was already filled with people. The instant they saw the two walking in hand in hand, the room fell silent.

There were subtle glances cast toward Yu Zhi, but they quickly lowered their gazes when t with a warning look.

Shi Wei glanced at the chair placed at the head of the table and was planning to sit down with the young lady in his arms when Chen Cai perceptively brought over another chair.

"Madam, please sit." He bowed his head slightly, treating Yu Zhi with the sa respect as Shi Wei.

The title made Yu Zhi so embarrassed that she wished she could find a place to hide, but with all eyes on her, she had no choice but to sit with a red face.

Seeing her earlobes turn red, Shi Wei's lips curved into a subtle smile. He gently squeezed her small hand under the table.

"Let's begin." As he turned, he reverted to his usual cold deanor.

Everyone present was a sharp observer. They quickly accepted this reality, suppressed their inner shock, and focused their attention on the PPT behind them.

"This piece of land is located next to the zoo and holds high comrcial value. It can be transford into a tourist attraction..."

The eting mainly discussed several alternative projects that the Xingye Group planned to invest in during the second half of the year.

Besides real estate, there was also bridge construction, solar power, and more.

Yu Zhi listened attentively, realizing now more than ever, compared to her earlier research, just how vast Shi Wei's assets truly were.

"Compile these items into a docunt for ." Shi Wei didn't make an imdiate decision. He glanced at everyone indifferently, "Anything else?"

"There is one matter that requires your input." The middle-aged man sitting to his left furrowed his brows slightly, "Recently, a new multinational company dealing with molybdenum mines has erged in the Imperial City. Should I make contact?"

Xingye had been considering expanding into the international molybdenum market, but they hadn't found a suitable opportunity, so it had been shelved for a while.

If they could directly acquire a company, it would save a lot of effort.

Shi Wei paused for two seconds, "Is it a new company?"

"No, I had soone investigate. That company's headquarters is in Australia."

"Let's not rush then, give it so ti."

"..."

Leaving the eting room, Shi Wei noticed that the young lady seed distracted.

He picked her up and sat down on the sofa, kissing her cheek, "Zhizhi, what are you thinking about?"

Yu Zhi's thoughts were pulled back by his actions. She blushed and murmured softly, "Nothing."

"Really?" Shi Wei's large hand caressed her waist, his gaze resting on her lips.

The atmosphere suddenly beca much more intimate. He placed her hand on his shoulder, and their foreheads touched.

"Mm." Yu Zhi's eyelashes fluttered as she looked at the lips drawing closer.

Shi Wei gazed into her eyes, his voice enticing, "Zhizhi, do you want to kiss ?"

Not waiting for her answer, he couldn't help but lower his head.

Their breaths intertwined, and Yu Zhi slowly closed her eyes, wrapping her arms around his neck, doing her best to match his rhythm.

Feeling her change, Shi Wei tightened his hold around her waist, as if he wanted to keep her firmly in his embrace.

"Mmm..." Yu Zhi patted his shoulder, feeling short of breath, her small face turning beet red.

Shi Wei pulled back, licking his lips, "Zhizhi, are you okay?" His husky voice carried a hint of satisfaction.

"Don't kiss for so long next ti." Yu Zhi took a couple of deep breaths, gave him a reproachful look.

Her lips still glistened with a delicate sheen, making them appear even more alluring.

Shi Wei suppressed the urge to kiss her again, burying his face in her collarbone, murmuring, "Alright, I'll listen to my girlfriend."

The warm yellow sunlight filtered through the floor-to-ceiling window, sprinkling over the embracing couple.

The curtains swayed slightly, casting reflections like shimring waves on the floor, yet they couldn't integrate into the space between them, separating their shadows.

**

Shengde Middle School.

As soon as Yu Zhi stepped into the school, she sensed that the people around her were giving her strange looks.

Several girls even scurried away the mont she drew near, as if she were a virus.

Yu Zhi raised her eyebrows. Although puzzled, she maintained a composed exterior.

Just like usual, she entered the classroom through the back door, only to find her desk had been moved to the back row, with a distance of about a ter from other seats.

"You're here." Qin Huai paused his desk-moving actions for two seconds upon seeing her.

Yu Zhi stood still beside him, "What are you doing?"

"I'm moving here to sit with you." Qin Huai smiled, revealing two cute little tiger teeth.

She moved her desk next to Yu Zhi's and sat side by side with her, "We're desk mates from now on."

"What's going on in the front?"

"It's nothing, co and sit quickly." Qin Huai's gaze wavered with a hint of discomfort.

She took out her books and gestured for Yu Zhi to sit when she saw her still standing.

Yu Zhi carefully observed her classmates' expressions, casually fiddling with her phone.

Sitting in her seat, she went through all the ssages in the class group and asked in a cool voice, devoid of emotion, "How do I access the forum?"

"Why do you want to go on the forum?!" Qin Huai exclaid, quickly covering her mouth.

This reaction only heightened Yu Zhi's suspicion.

"Help open it." She glanced at Qin Huai with a look that brooked no refusal.

Qin Huai: "..."

She mouthed her lips a couple of tis, hesitated for a mont before pulling up the school's forum for her.

Seeing the striking headline of the first post on the forum, Qin Huai frowned slightly, "Maybe you shouldn't look. I can tell you about it."

She worriedly held her phone tightly, unwilling to hand it back.

"Okay, tell ." Yu Zhi tapped the desk with her fingertips, lazily reclining against the white wall, exuding an air of ease.

"You weren't at school yesterday, soone posted on the forum, saying you're..."

"Saying I'm what?"

"An Unlucky Star..."

"Is that all?"

Qin Huai nodded, sowhat awkward, "They said no one should get too close to you, or they'd have bad luck."
