"I just think you guys have such a good relationship. There are so many people caring about you..." Lin Wan opened her mouth but finally swallowed the last words.
Actually, what she wanted to say was that it wouldn't make any difference whether she cared about him or not.
But considering Lu Zhihang's increasingly gloomy face, she finally swallowed those words and didn't say anything more.
"Lin Wan." Lu Zhihang reached out and gently stroked her hair. The smooth strands spread out between his fingertips. This was the second time he called her name so seriously. The last time was when he confessed his love.
Lin Wan looked up and met his pitch - black eyes. Her heart suddenly skipped a beat.
She regretted it a little. In this situation, she shouldn't have brought up such a serious and solemn topic. The atmosphere between them had been so harmonious.
"I don't need others' care." Lu Zhihang gritted his teeth and enunciated each word clearly. He lowered his head, pressing his forehead against Lin Wan's, and said softly, "I only need you. As long as you're here, it's the greatest care for me."
At this moment, Lin Wan stared blankly at Lu Zhihang. It was rare for her to be in such a daze.
In her eyes was Lu Zhihang's magnified face. No matter how close she looked, this man was flawless. But there was a hint of fear and worry in his eyes, which made her inexplicably feel a twinge of pity.
She reached out and gently stroked Lu Zhihang's head.
He then leaned on her shoulder naturally, burying his face in her neck. Their breaths gradually intertwined.
"Don't worry. I just... envy you so much." Lin Wan gently stroked his hair as if comforting a large dog. She never thought that one day she would comfort someone in such a way, by baring her heart.
Lu Zhihang paused for a moment, gently rubbed his chin against hers, and said in a muffled voice, "Don't envy. I'll care about you from now on."
Lin Wan smiled but didn't say a word. She sat there in a daze, still holding Lu Zhihang's head. She recalled the days before she met Lu Zhihang. It wasn't that no one cared about her, but the care always came with awkwardness, which made her unconsciously push others away.
She always wanted to take everyone's feelings into account and make everyone happy, but in the end, she could only make herself unhappy.
And now she had met Lu Zhihang.
"I have so many people caring about me and so many good - relationship friends. But I only care about you and only have a good relationship with you. Then you'll be the most sought - after person in the world!" Lu Zhihang whispered in her ear, as if it were the tenderest love words in the world.
Her tears fell unexpectedly. There seemed to be a ray of sunshine in her heart, bringing a little warmth. However, just like a double - edged sword, the warmer her heart felt, the colder it became at the same time.
She nodded and smiled without saying a word.
The incident of that day was over, and their lives returned to normal.
...
"Brother Lu, you need to go back to the company today. There's a meeting." After getting along for so many days, Hu Weisheng didn't want to provoke the man sitting in the back seat at all. He carefully flipped through his phone memo and said.
Lu Zhihang raised his eyebrows, lowered his eyes to look at his watch, and said impatiently, "What kind of meeting is it that has to be held so late? Can't it be postponed until tomorrow?"
Damn it, it was just a little past four o'clock!
Hu Weisheng complained in his heart, but his face showed a look of embarrassment. "I'm afraid not. This meeting was arranged by the company's CEO himself."
"Han Yan?" Lu Zhihang snorted and laughed, his tone full of disdain. "... Idiot."
Hu Weisheng felt cold sweat breaking out on his back. He was on the verge of collapse. He really didn't dare to respond to such words, nor did he dare to tattle.
And Lu Zhihang didn't really care about this matter. He returned to the company in the nanny car.
He took the elevator all the way from the parking lot to the top - floor office. He didn't meet anyone on the way, which made Lu Zhihang feel at ease. He took off his mask in the elevator and let it hang loosely on one ear for a while.
Hu Weisheng always looked extremely nervous. Especially when they reached the office and saw all the big shots sitting inside, he didn't even dare to breathe loudly.
When Lu Zhihang saw this situation, he was really stunned for a moment. He stood at the door, whistled, and said with a lazy smile, "Tsk, what a special day. Everyone's here. People who don't know might think I'm here to terminate the contract."
Han Yan's face changed constantly when he looked at Lu Zhihang, but finally he managed to force out a far - fetched smile and asked him to sit down.
Lu Zhihang scanned the office and directly pulled out the chair opposite the main seat. When he sat down, he exuded an air of lazy comfort. But faintly, there was a sharp look of scrutiny in his eyes, as if he were the real big shot who should be sitting in the main seat and calling the shots.
From his angle, he could clearly see that several shareholders showed dissatisfaction with his behavior.
"We're here to learn about your future intentions. We've also drawn up the contract for your renewal. You don't have to answer us in a hurry. Take a good look at the contract. With your current popularity, we naturally won't treat you badly." Han Yan was silent for a few seconds. When he said this, Lu Zhihang could clearly feel a hint of embarrassment in his tone.
Obviously, this move wasn't decided by him but by the shareholders sitting around.
Lu Zhihang raised his eyebrows and with great interest, he grabbed the contract document that Han Yan threw over.
He opened it and took a serious look. Lu Zhihang had to admit that the company was really persistent about his contract renewal. But he already had his own plans for the future. He looked at the contract as if it were a joke.
The company's treatment for him this time was more than twice as good as before. The two contracts were like heaven and earth. In order to keep him, the company even offered a profit - sharing ratio of 60 - 40, which really surprised Lu Zhihang. He looked at it for a while before closing the document and casually raising his head. His eyes swept across everyone present.
No one knew what he meant. Han Yan's face looked a bit grim.
"The contract is really good. This should be the treatment only top - notch stars in the industry can get. I don't think I deserve it. After all, I don't have any classic works." He said with a smile, his tone very casual. Then he threw the contract on the table in front of him.
With a soft thud, most of the people present frowned.
Han Yan's expression was hard to describe. Lu Zhihang even thought that he actually agreed with his words in his heart. He also thought it wasn't worth it, but there was nothing he could do.
