am2_1 Chapter 6 10pm

The tone of his voice was overbearing, showing that it was an unquestionable order.

Bai Xixi's heart trembled.

This was his second time saying "my woman". The two words were like a powerful protective umbrella that trapped her in his own world.

But had he forgotten? Their relationship would only last for half a year.

In the next six months, she would only be a woman whom he did not want the public to see.

Bai Xixi did not dare to retort. She suppressed her thoughts and lowered her head to show her approval.

Sheng Shinian then let her go and placed her beside him. He then texted Su Nan.

Soon, Su Nan came over and got into the car respectfully. He started the engine and drove towards the basement carpark.

Bai Xixi asked cautiously, "Mr. Sheng, can you find a remote place to let me out?"

She definitely did not dare to alight near the company. If Sheng Zixian had not gone far, or if someone else saw her, she would be dead.

Sheng Shinian swept his deep gaze across her body and asked, "Where are you going?"

There was a vague tone of resolution in his voice. Bai Xixi dared not refuse him and answered, "The studio. Nansheng Building."

Sheng Shinian looked towards Su Nan sitting in the front with his icy-cold gaze.

He ordered, "Send her there first." The three words were concise and comprehensive.

Su Nan was shocked. The morning meeting was about to begin, yet the President wanted to send this woman first...

The thing was, even then, he still could not figure out what was happening. Wasn't this woman Mr. Sheng's fiancée? Why was she together with the President...?

However, he did not dare to intrude. He quickly turned the steering wheel and turned the car around.

Bai Xixi was a little surprised.

Sheng Shinian, the cold-blooded man who was a step above the common bloke, was actually taking the initiative to send her to her office?

It seemed that he was not that difficult to get along with.

Bai Xixi realized that some of the cake she was holding onto had gotten onto her hand.

She asked carefully, "Mr. Sheng, do you still want to eat the cake?"

Sheng Shinian glanced at her and saw that her hand was full of cream. His brows furrowed and he said coldly, "No. Clean your hands."

After that, he did not look at her again and moved away to the other side.

It was as if she was some kind of germ.

Bai Xixi felt awkward. This man obviously had mysophobia! And it was not mild at all.

She had even thought that he was easy to get along with...

The atmosphere for the whole car ride was quiet and cold.

After wiping her hands clean, Bai Xixi sat in her seat obediently and dared not look at the man beside her at all.

For some reason, it was very oppressive to be in the same space as him.

When the magnificent building appeared in front of her, she cried out immediately, "We've reached it! Please just drop me off here!"

Su Nan parked the car steadily at the side of the road.

Bai Xixi thanked him and opened the door to get out. However, a big hand grabbed her wrist.

The man's unique body temperature made her flustered. She turned around hesitantly.

"Mr. Sheng, is there anything else?"

Sheng Shinian took out a card from his jacket in a cold manner and handed it to her.

"10pm. I don't like to wait."

The card was an exquisite and high-end hotel room key.

Bai Xixi understood what he meant immediately. She felt her heart tighten and she nodded embarrassedly and fearfully before getting out of the car hastily.

She was wearing a simple white suspender dress today. When she ran, the hem of the dress swayed with the wind and looked like a blooming jasmine.

Sheng Shinian subconsciously realized that she had a nice natural jasmine fragrance on her body and his lips started to dry for some reason.

Damn it! When did he start to get emotional so easily?

Sheng Shinian did not like to be attracted by anything, nor did he like the feeling of being too obsessed.

He was merely keeping Bai Xixi by his side for investigation purposes. He would not allow any loss of control over his emotions.

He loosened his tie. "Start the car."

Bai Xixi ran to the company non-stop. The card in her hand was like a scorching-hot potato. She quickly put it into her bag.

Thinking of his strong aura from last night, she became afraid subconsciously. How was she going to face him tonight...

"Bai Xixi, why are you not working and daydreaming instead!" Just when she was in the midst of her thoughts, a sharp scolding voice was heard.

Bai Xixi snapped back from her thoughts and saw that the evil female director was standing in front of her desk. She was fully decked out in professional officewear and there was an aura of refinement exuding from her.

Bai Xixi was so scared that she quickly stood up and apologized. "I'm sorry, I'll draw the design draft right now, right away."

Director Qiao Anya shot her a disdainful glance and rebuked her, "Huh, you'd better be able to produce it. Don't think that just because your childhood sweetheart invested in this studio you won't need to do anything and can disregard my orders."

Her loud voice rang through the office. All the other designers held their breath.

Bai Xixi lowered her head even further.

Nan Chenze had indeed invested and opened this studio for her while they were in college. However, she had always done her job diligently and did not disregard anyone.

She apologized helplessly, "I didn't. I respect you a lot. I'll work hard."

Qiao Anya glared at her harshly. "I'm giving you two weeks. If you still can't produce a decent design, resign on your own, and get lost!"

After throwing her these words, she turned and left.

The air dissipated quickly.

Bai Xixi sat back down helplessly. Looking at the canvas on her table, she felt she had reached her wits' end.

She was an inner wear designer and had been the chief designer of the studio for many years.

In the past, most of the best sellers had been her work. However, after her family was ruined, she had lost her luxurious lifestyle, her loving father, and even the creative talent which she had always been so proud of seemed to have left her.

For two whole weeks, she was unable to come up with a new design or a decent sketch.

She was like a useless person.

Bai Xixi was really going insane.

What did she need to do in order for her inspiration to come back and for her to draw amazing artwork like the ones before?

For the whole day, Bai Xixi sat at her desk and forced herself to draw.

Even if she could not draw it out, she still had to.

By night time, the trash can beside her desk had been filled with dozens of waste drafts. Yet, she was still drawing.

When the hundreth waste draft was thrown into the trash can, Bai Xixi could no longer control herself and tears burst out of her eyes.

Why? Why had it turned out like this?

God had taken away all of her happiness, and now this too?

How was she going to live in the future?

Nan Chenze pushed the door open and came in. This was the scene that he saw - A spacious and quiet office and a girl sitting in front of her desk. The girl's hair was slightly messy, and her tears were falling like beads from a broken string.

His heart tightened and he walked towards her in big strides, then held her in his arms.

"Xixi, what's going on?"

Hearing the familiar, warm voice, Bai Xixi looked up and saw that it was Nan Chenze. She felt more upset and broke down.

"Chenze, I can't produce a draft. No matter how hard I try, I can't draw anything. Am I useless now? Does it mean that I can't be a designer anymore?"

Nan Chenze Ze glanced at the waste paper pile on the floor and lifted his hand to caress her back. He comforted her in a gentle voice, "You won't. You're just stressed over all of the sudden changes and need time to deal with it."

"Trust me. As long as you relax, you can come up with a more beautiful work than before."

Actually, Bai Xixi did not need anyone to comfort her. In the last two weeks, she had faced so much ruthlessness in the world and was already strong enough.

But at this moment, she could not hold it in anymore and she wept sadly.

Tears streamed down onto Nanchen Ze's suit but he did not despise her. He comforted her again and again.

By this time, it was already half past ten at night.

At Capital Plaza Block A, Presidential Suite.

The Presidential Suite spanned across more than 100 square meters. It had a 180-degree floor-to-ceiling windows which offered a clear view of half of the Capital's splendid night view. The view was amazing.

The man sat in front of the floor-to-ceiling window. He was dressed in a black silk nightgown that looked luxurious and profound.

He had not turned on the lights and when the light from outside shone in through the window, it illuminated his cold and handsome features, which were covered in frost.

His body was emitting a bone-chilling aura.

This was the scene that Su Nan saw when he came in with investigation results. He could not help but feel a chill down his spine.

He had a feeling that if he went up and handed him the documents, it would be even more terrifying...

However, he did not dare to lie. He walked up to him respectfully and handed over the documents nervously.

"President, this is all the information on Miss Bai that has been collected since she was born, as well as her schedule for today."

"Read." He was a man of few words.

Su Nan shuddered. He could not tell which document he wanted him to read, but after careful consideration, he was sure that it would definitely not be her history.

Otherwise, he would not be able to finish reading it even by tomorrow morning.

Su Nan took out Bai Xixi's schedule respectfully and glanced at it before reporting to him, "President, after separating ways with you, Miss Bai has been working in her office. She seemed to be very busy with her work and did not even eat lunch or dinner. And..."

Su Nan hesitated for a while before continuing, "Nan Chenze went to find her and Miss Bai hugged him and cried for a while. Now, they are on their way to get supper together..."

When he finished reporting, just as expected, the man's face became several degrees colder. It was as chilly as if his face had been sealed with ice.

Very well. She had made him wait for a whole half an hour and was now off on a date with another man.

Sheng Shinian had never been so angry before.

In the past, who would have dared to stand him up or defy his orders?

This woman was very bold.

Sheng Shinian took out his phone. His long, slender fingers scrolled on the screen before he hit dial.

Bai Xixi was having supper with Nan Chenze when her phone on the table suddenly rang.

Seeing that it was a bunch of special foreign numbers, she hesitated a moment but eventually picked it up.

"Hello?"

"I'm giving you ten minutes to appear in front of me. Otherwise, you'll disappear from this world forever."

The man's voice was cold and cruel. After he finished, he hung up the phone with a loud slam.
