PDLP Chapter 124 She Finally Softened Her Heart
Chapter 124 She Finally Softened Her Heart
The first rays of morning light penetrated the clouds, covering the city with a layer of golden gauze. Xiang Yu did not sleep all night, and he still maintained the same posture as last night, sitting on the steps in front of Yan Jin's house. Fatigue and anxiety covered his face, but they could not cover up the determination in his eyes.
This was the scene Yan Jin saw when he opened the door. Xiang Yu seemed even more haggard than yesterday, with stubble on his face and his clothes a little wrinkled. He stood there pitifully like a child who had done something wrong.
When their eyes met, there was a hint of awkwardness in the air. Yan Jin wanted to pretend that she didn't see it and just leave, but when she saw the bloodshot eyes and tired look on Xiang Yu's face, the string in her heart still moved slightly.
"Come in." She finally softened her heart and moved aside to make way.
Xiang Yu stood up as if he had received a pardon and followed Yan Jin into the house. He noticed that Yan Jin's face looked bad and there was a hint of blue in his eyes, and it was obvious that he had not slept well last night.
"Jin'er..." Xiang Yu was about to explain, but was interrupted by Yan Jin's look.
"Go wash up first, we'll talk later if you have anything to say."
Xiang Yu knew it was too early to explain, so he walked into the bathroom obediently. The warm water washed over his body, but it couldn't wash away the fatigue and anxiety in his heart. He knew that what happened last night had caused great harm to Yan Jin, and he had to do everything he could to make up for it.
After washing up, Xiang Yu walked into the living room and saw Yan Jin preparing breakfast. Simple toast and milk made him feel extremely warm.
"Jin'er, what happened last night..." Xiang Yu mustered up his courage again and wanted to explain.
"I already know." Yan Jin interrupted him calmly, "Assistant Chen told me that Miss Li is an important partner of the company, and you had to attend the appointment for the sake of the company's business."
"Jin'er, do you believe me?" Xiang Yu was a little surprised. He didn't expect Yan Jin to accept his explanation so easily.
"I just choose to trust Assistant Chen's judgment." Yan Jin placed breakfast on the table, "Let's eat."
Although Yan Jin's tone was calm, Xiang Yu could feel that the grudge in her heart had not been completely eliminated. He knew that trust was like a piece of paper. Once it was wrinkled, it would be difficult to restore it to its original state.
The two of them ate breakfast in silence, and the atmosphere was a little depressing. Just then, the doorbell suddenly rang... The doorbell broke the slightly solemn atmosphere in the restaurant. Yan Jin stood up and opened the door, and saw an elegant and intellectual lady standing outside the door. It was Partner Li who met at the cocktail party last night.
"Mr. Li, why are you here suddenly?" Yan Jin was a little surprised.
"Won't you invite me in to sit down?" Partner Li smiled and pointed behind him, "I'm here to be your peacemaker."
Yan Jin hesitated for a moment, but still stepped aside to let her in. Partner Li saw Xiang Yu at the dining table at a glance, she nodded slightly to him, and sat down opposite Yan Jin.
"I came here this time to tell you about what happened last night." Partner Li got straight to the point. "I can see that President Xiang cares about you very much. He didn't mean to ignore you last night. It was just because my company encountered some difficult problems, and he had to help me as a friend."
Yan Jin remained silent and just listened quietly.
"I used to be like you, not believing in love or men." Partner Li said with a hint of emotion, "But my husband's actions made me understand that true love can stand the test of time."
She went on to tell the story of herself and her husband, how their love had gone through ups and downs, but they eventually overcame all difficulties and stayed together.
"Jin'er, I believe that President Xiang is sincere to you." Partner Li held Yan Jin's hand and said earnestly, "Don't give up your happiness because of a momentary misunderstanding."
Partner Li's words were sincere and earnest, which made Yan Jin's heart ripple. She looked at Xiang Yu and found that his eyes were following her closely, full of expectation and anxiety.
"I..." Yan Jin was about to speak, but Xiang Yu grabbed his hand.
"Jin'er, I know I was wrong. Please give me another chance. I will use my actions to prove my sincerity." Xiang Yu's tone was pleading. "I will agree to whatever you say, as long as you are willing to forgive me."
Yan Jin looked at the once arrogant myжчnha in front of her, who was now humble in order to save her, and felt mixed emotions. She pulled back her hand and said calmly:
"I can give you a chance, but you have to pass my test." She paused and looked at Xiang Yu firmly, "I want to see your change and your sincerity."
Yan Jin's words were like a breeze that blew away the haze that shrouded Xiang Yu's heart. He joyfully held Yan Jin's hand, his eyes firm: "Okay, I promise you! I will prove with my actions that my love for you is not just talk."
Since then, Xiang Yu has become a different person. He no longer takes Yan Jin's kindness for granted as he did before, but cherishes and cares for her even more. Every morning, he will prepare breakfast for Yan Jin himself, and even if he is busy with company affairs, he will take time to eat with her. After get off work, he will go home on time, chat with Yan Jin, take a walk, and enjoy the rare world of two people.
Not only that, Xiang Yu also took the initiative to share the housework, learning to cook, wash dishes, and even took on all the housework that Yan Jin didn't like to do. Seeing the overbearing president who used to be a master of his craft, now cooking for her, Yan Jin couldn't help but feel warm in her heart.
At work, Xiang Yu also worked harder. He devoted himself to the company's business and led the team to overcome difficulties one after another. He knew that only by making himself stronger could he give Yan Jin enough sense of security.
Yan Jin saw all this and kept it in mind. She knew that Xiang Yu was really changing for her and for their future. He was no longer the high-handed and arrogant CEO, but an ordinary person who was willing to give everything for love.
As time went by, Yan Jin's heart gradually melted. She began to let go of her past prejudices and re-examine this marriage and the man she had once rejected.
That night, Xiang Yu specially prepared a candlelight dinner for Yan Jin. Under the soft light, the exquisite dishes exuded an alluring aroma, and melodious music flowed slowly in the room.
"Jin'er, try this soup. I learned it especially for you." Xiang Yu placed a bowl of steaming soup in front of Yan Jin, his eyes as gentle as water.
Yan Jin took the soup spoon and tasted it gently. A warm feeling instantly surged into her heart. This bowl of soup not only warmed her stomach, but also her heart.
"Is it delicious?" Xiang Yu asked nervously, fearing that Yan Jin would be dissatisfied.
Yan Jin put down the spoon, looked up at Xiang Yu, and a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "Well, it tastes good."
This was the first time Yan Jin showed Xiang Yu such a sincere smile. At that moment, Xiang Yu felt that the whole world was brightened. He put down the tableware in his hand, walked to Yan Jin, and gently embraced her in his arms.
"Jin'er, thank you, thank you for giving me another chance."
Yan Jin didn't say anything, but just leaned quietly in Xiang Yu's arms, feeling his warmth and his heartbeat. Just as the two were immersed in this long-lost warmth, Yan Jin's phone suddenly rang...
Yan Jin picked up her phone and found an email from an unfamiliar number. She hesitated for a moment, but still clicked on the email. The content of the email was very simple, with only one sentence: "Do you want to know the crisis that Xiang Group is about to face? See you at xx Coffee Shop at 10 am tomorrow."
Seeing this email, Yan Jin's heart was suddenly overshadowed. She raised her head and looked at Xiang Yu opposite her, only to find that he was also looking at her with a questioning look in his eyes.
"What's wrong?" Xiang Yu asked, "Who sent the email?"
Yan Jin didn't say anything, but handed the phone to him. Xiang Yu took the phone, read the content of the email carefully, and frowned.
"Don't worry about it." After a moment, Xiang Yu put the phone back on the table and said lightly, "Maybe it's just a prank."
"But..." Yan Jin wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Xiang Yu.
"Don't worry, I will take care of everything." Xiang Yu held Yan Jin's hand, his eyes firm, "Trust me."
Yan Jin looked into Xiang Yu's eyes and finally nodded. She chose to believe him, just as he believed in himself.
The romantic dinner ended in a delicate atmosphere. After returning home, Xiang Yu went to the study alone, using the excuse of dealing with work. He turned on the computer and began to investigate the source of the email.
As time went by, Xiang Yu's expression became more and more serious. He found out that the email was sent from a virtual IP address, and it was impossible to track the specific sender.
"Who is it? Why did you send me this email at this time?" Xiang Yu muttered to himself, his heart full of doubts.
He had a vague feeling that this matter was not as simple as it seemed. Perhaps, a bigger storm was about to come...
At this time, there was a gentle knock on the study door. Yan Jin came in with a cup of hot milk. Seeing Xiang Yu frowning, she asked with concern, "What's wrong? Are you still worried about that email?"
Xiang Yu raised his head and looked at Yan Jin's worried eyes, and his heart was warmed. He put down the work in his hands, stood up, walked to Yan Jin, and hugged her in his arms.
"It's okay, don't worry." Xiang Yu gently patted Yan Jin's back and comforted her softly, "I'll take care of everything."
Yan Jin leaned in Xiang Yu's arms, listening to his strong heartbeat, and the uneasiness in her heart gradually dissipated. She believed that no matter what happened, he would be by her side and face it together.
However, what they didn't know was that this anonymous email was just the beginning. A bigger crisis was waiting for them...
