"See, I told you we’d have a chance to et again."
After Brother Chen smiled and said this, Liu Zheng turned to him with a sincere expression and spoke.
"I really want to thank you for last ti. Otherwise, I might have already been beaten to a pulp by them."
It looked like he was indeed very sincere.
Liu Jiaxin also chid in from the side.
"She ca to find just now, insisting on seeing you and wanting to thank you in person."
I originally thought it was just a coincidence to run into each other.
But I never imagined that Liu Zheng would actively seek out and express such gratitude.
He felt a bit awkward but soon raised his hand and waved it off.
"It’s fine, we’re friends. Helping each other out is no big deal. Don’t worry about it, and besides, I didn’t exert much effort."
That’s what he said.
But in his heart, Liu Zheng was clear.
Everything was truly thanks to Brother Chen.
"Although, to you, it might not seem like much, to , it’s incredibly important. In the future, if there’s anything I can help with, just call on . I will definitely help."
Liu Zheng spoke these words with utmost sincerity.
After all, he couldn’t just do nothing.
After all, the man had saved his life.
No matter what, he would certainly repay him properly.
Seeing him so polite, Brother Chen felt a bit uncomfortable for so reason.
Perhaps it was because Liu Zheng at this mont looked too much like that guy from before, and him saying all this with that face made Brother Chen feel a bit uneasy.
"Alright, since there’s nothing else, I’m going to get busy."
Honestly, having said everything that needed to be said, he didn’t want to keep the two from spending ti together.
Liu Jiaxin also nodded gently.
"Okay, go ahead with your work."
Soon.
The person in front finally left, and not only that, he even closed the door behind him.
Now, only Liu Zheng and Liu Jiaxin were left in the office.
Liu Zheng imdiately ca over to Liu Jiaxin.
Last ti, he had clearly heard what Brother Chen told those underlings.
He found it very strange at the ti; they had ssed with soone they shouldn’t have, and he proclaid himself the boss.
But what could his identity possibly be, and how could he not be clear about that?
The only possibility seed to be that Liu Jiaxin’s identity was far from simple.
She must be very powerful.
And she was the real boss that Brother Chen was referring to.
The reason he had told those underlings that he was the boss was probably because he felt that he might be in a romantic relationship with Liu Jiaxin, so he said that.
"I never expected your identity to be so special."
Soon, Liu Zheng uttered these words.
Upon hearing this, Liu Jiaxin was very curious.
She wondered what he ant by ’special’?
You could see a faint smile at the corner of her mouth as she asked.
"What do you an? What’s this about being ’special’? I don’t think my identity is anything special."
Originally, I just thought Liu Jiaxin was simply a restaurant owner.
But now it seems I really thought too simply; things were never that straightforward.
She even turned out to be a boss in the underworld.
For a woman to climb to such a position is indeed not easy; I can only imagine the countless hardships Liu Jiaxin must have faced back then.
She certainly must have endured great suffering.
Otherwise, she couldn’t possibly have made it this far.
Even if, at first, she only had one person working hard alongside her.
But it wasn’t that simple.
Being a boss in the underworld isn’t sothing just anyone could aspire to.
"The path you’ve traveled must have been very tough; no matter what, I hope you can be happier and not let anything disturb your peace of mind," he said.
She had originally thought that when he learned of her true identity, he might try to ingratiate himself with her or do sothing that many n would do.
Because, before this, she had indeed kept so secrets from him.
She hadn’t told him her real identity or how much property she owned.
In the past, she had indeed co into contact with others, and they had beco even more obsequious upon learning of her status.
But the man before her was completely different.
He was only thinking about just how difficult her journey had been.
This surprised Liu Jiaxin greatly; she never expected him to think about her situation from such a perspective.
So, for a mont, she was stunned into silence, her mouth open, but in the end, she couldn’t speak a word.
This was the first ti she had encountered such a situation, so she really didn’t know what she should say.
Seeing her not speaking, Liu Zheng suddenly stood there, puzzled, wondering what was going on with her out of the blue.
Then he lifted his hand, waved it gently before her eyes, and asked,
"What’s wrong with you? Why are you ignoring ?"
Only after hearing this did she finally snap back to reality.
A small smile appeared on her lips, and then she shook her head and said,
"It’s nothing, it’s nothing—I was just thinking about so things from the past."
Liu Zheng then held her in his arms and gently rubbed her head with tenderness.
"Co on, I’ve already said it; don’t be upset about things that happened before. Don’t dwell on the unhappy thoughts."
"No matter what, life now is very beautiful and everything will get better and better."
Upon hearing this, Liu Jiaxin naturally nodded in agreent.
And soon, for no apparent reason, he started to apologize.
"It’s really my fault; I’ve upset you."
Naturally, Liu Jiaxin was very curious upon hearing this; she didn’t understand why he would suddenly say such a thing.
She imdiately shook her head and responded,
"What are you talking about? None of this is related to you at all; why are you taking all the bla onto yourself?"
"It was my fault for suddenly ntioning your past. Otherwise, you wouldn’t have thought of those unhappy things. So, it is my fault."
To think it was sothing so trivial.
It was just for that reason, after all.
But to tell the truth.
Liu Jiaxin had never thought that way, never felt that all of it had anything to do with him.
Naturally, she couldn’t have any complaints against him.
"Alright, you’re really overthinking it; I don’t bla you," she assured him.
