Words like that carry responsibility, and she wasn't yet sure if her feelings for Wu Zhishang were actually affection.
Suddenly, Zhang Xinyan heard a faint sound from the bed, as if Wu Zhishang had gotten up and was slowly approaching her.
At that moment, her entire body tensed up in nervousness.
What is he doing? He wouldn't take advantage of the situation, would he? Should I resist?
If I resist, will my family find out?
Actually, Wu Zhishang is quite nice.
Would he love me the same way he loved Zhao Miaomiao?
Forget it, just close my eyes and give up struggling.
No, no, what am I thinking? We haven't even defined our relationship.
Suddenly, Wu Zhishang's arm directly wrapped around Zhang Xinyan's body and lifted her up. At that moment, Zhang Xinyan's heart felt like it was about to leap out of her chest.
Oh no, oh no, this man must have been moved by lust. My innocence is about to be lost.
Will he kiss me first or just start undressing me?
Just as Zhang Xinyan's mind was racing with wild thoughts, the man gently placed her on the bed.
"Really, in the end, I still let you have the bed. Blame my overly kind heart."
Wu Zhishang let go and was just about to leave when suddenly a slender jade-like arm wrapped around him.
Zhang Xinyan didn't know where her courage came from, but she directly pressed her soft, petal-like lips against Wu Zhishang's.
They parted after just a moment.
Then she continued pretending to be asleep.
Wu Zhishang felt as if time and space had frozen for an instant. He was completely stunned.
He... was just forcibly kissed?
Seeing Zhang Xinyan's adorable, sleeping face, he even wondered if he was hallucinating.
He reached out, touched his own lips, then brought his fingers to his nose and sniffed. A faint, sweet fragrance confirmed it wasn't an illusion.
"Zhang Xinyan, you..."
Suddenly, a sentence echoed in Wu Zhishang's mind.
「A kiss is just a form of comfort, it doesn't necessarily mean anything.」
Remembering that woman's words from the past, an inexplicable chill ran down Wu Zhishang's spine.
He shook his head with a bitter smile, swallowed the rest of his words, and lay back down on the floor.
Zhang Xinyan kept her eyes tightly shut, her face flushed crimson. She didn't know why she had done that either.
Her mind felt chaotic, filled with nothing but embarrassing and domineering images.
By the time she regained her composure, she could no longer sense Wu Zhishang's presence. She quietly opened one eye—the space in front of her was empty.
Turning her head slightly, she saw the man lying on the floor was already asleep?
Zhang Xinyan on the bed was dumbfounded.
I was that forward? Are you some kind of Liu Xiahui?
Even if you don't do anything, you should at least have some kind of response, right?
Even a rejection, say something to reject me! What does your silence mean?
Do I really have no charm at all?
Impossible. If nothing else, I'm extremely confident about my figure.
Zhang Xinyan was angry, but she eventually fell asleep.
Carefree people sleep incredibly soundly.
The next morning, having automatically cooled off, Zhang Xinyan recalled the events of the previous night and felt increasingly that Wu Zhishang was a good man.
A guy who can remain calm and composed even when a girl throws herself at him seems rather safe and reliable.
Humans are strange creatures. When you like someone, everything about them seems pleasing.
When you dislike someone, even their good deeds seem like an act.
Right now, Zhang Xinyan found Wu Zhishang extremely pleasing to the eye.
During the day, they wouldn't always stay at the Zhang Family home. They occasionally went out to explore and enjoy the local scenery.
Hearing that the cotton from Zhang Xinyan's hometown was excellent, Wu Zhishang seemed to remember something and made a few calls to people at the company.
He solved the issue of raw materials for sanitary products while also contributing a bit to Zhang Xinyan's hometown.
This made Zhang Xinyan look at Wu Zhishang with even more infatuation.
This man, with his damnable sense of responsibility.
At night, the two slept under the same roof, though they would chat for a long time before falling asleep, no matter who was on the floor.
Regardless of who started on the floor, Zhang Xinyan would always wake up in the bed the next morning.
Each time Wu Zhishang carried her to the bed, she would pretend to be asleep. This feeling was gradually becoming addictive for her.
As the New Year holiday grew shorter, Zhang Xinyan even began to wish these days would never end.
One day, Zhang Xinyan took Wu Zhishang to a famous mountainous scenic spot in the area.
The sky here was vast, and the snow on the ground was pure white.
Zhang Xinyan was not only a captivating little beauty, but her facial features were also uniquely beautiful, a kind of mixed beauty blending Central Plains and Western Regions traits.
Reflected against the snowy white world, Wu Zhishang was stunned by the woman before him.
She looked like a Western Regions princess who had stepped out of a book, truly beautiful...
The New Year holiday passed quickly, and despite their immense reluctance, they returned to the capital.
After resuming work, one day Zhang Xinyan accompanied Wu Zhishang to Dongtian Manor.
Lin Ran asked both of them the same question.
"Do you like Zhang Xinyan?" / "Do you like Old Wu?"
While waiting for Wu Zhishang's answer, Zhang Xinyan was also confirming her own feelings.
When Wu Zhishang said, "I... no, I don't... I don't," Zhang Xinyan knew she couldn't evade it any longer.
Given this man's personality, waiting might yield no result for a lifetime. So, she might as well take this step herself.
Did she like Wu Zhishang?
"The atmosphere has built up to this point. To say I'm deeply in love isn't quite it, but to say I don't like him isn't true either—it's more like this feeling has just recently emerged."
In reality, her heart had already admitted it: she had fallen for this man.
Once again, she had expressed her feelings to Wu Zhishang, and this time in front of Lin Ran and Luo Yao. Surely, you'll respond now, right?
As a result, Wu Zhishang did respond, but it was a form of rejection.
In the car on the way back, Wu Zhishang told her, "The New Year is over now. I hope we can focus on work. Let's put an end to those little games from the past few days."
Little games?
Put an end to them?
Zhang Xinyan was a bit crushed. She seemed unable to accept that the person she liked didn't like her back.
So, she angrily slammed the car door and walked into the company without looking back, not waiting for the big boss.
Wu Zhishang was utterly confused, wondering if this woman was angry.
What he didn't know was that beneath Zhang Xinyan's angry exterior, her heart was actually in a panic.
Zhang Xinyan's temper flared up quickly but also faded fast. In the following days, she worked even harder to showcase her best qualities.
She finally managed to stir this man's heart, and he agreed to try dating.
She thought this would be the perfect ending, but Zhang Xinyan slowly discovered that Wu Zhishang was very slow to warm up emotionally.
The super slow kind.
Zhang Xinyan had a personality that wanted rapid development once things were confirmed, much like her father.
So, she decided to force Wu Zhishang's hand.
One day, she came to the office holding her household register in one hand and a resignation letter in the other.
"Either get married, or I resign."
Get married, and you get a perfect girl like me.
I resign, and I lose my job while you lose love.

nd fell into a coma while saving his younger sister from an out-of-control car. He became a vegetable. No one knew that his consciousness had crossed into a world of cultivation. Over the course of sixty years, he began as the lowest kind of mine slave, struggling to survive amid mountains of corpses and seas of blood. By sheer chance, he eventually obtained the complete memories of a fallen Immortal King. Alchemy, medicine, formations, feng shui, physiognomy, artifact forging… Every great inheritance of the cultivation world was now his. But when he opened his eyes again, he discovered that ten full years had passed in the modern world. To pay for his treatment, his father had sold the family’s shop and house, leaving himself covered in lasting injuries and illness. His mother had cared for him day and night, and more than half of her hair had already turned white. His younger sister, who had been only fifteen back then, was now twenty-five. To help repay the family’s debts, she had been forced to lower her head and put on a smiling face in places of glittering lights and endless revelry. Only then did Chen Xuan understand that what he had lost was not merely ten years. He had lost the life his entire family was meant to have.

Spiritual energy was scarce, resources were depleted, and the modern world still had firearms, surveillance, capital, and laws. If he wanted to protect his family, break free from everyone’s control, and become truly invincible beneath the heavens, he would have to start all over again.
