Chapter 385 Progress in Relationships

Lin Xiaotian drove back to the villa after leaving.

When he arrived home, he found that Chu Nianxue had not yet rested. She was sitting on the sofa, clutching her legs with her small white hands, her eyes shining with a faint light.

She was clearly thinking about something.

No wonder he walked over and embraced her directly.

Realizing he was there, she quickly looked up. When she smelled his familiar scent and saw his bright, sunny smile, she finally relaxed.

"Are the matters over there all resolved? How did it end?"

"Of course, they were sent to where they belong. Don't worry, there won't be any traces left. Those guys won't have a good ending. As for Manager Liu, he won't be returning to the company. You might not hear from him again from now on."

Lin Xiaotian had asked Old Li to handle this matter. Old Li's methods would definitely make Manager Liu pay the price he deserved.

Even if he was pitiful, he had his detestable aspects.

Since he had made mistakes, he had to pay the corresponding price. Otherwise, without consequences, order would descend into chaos.

Chu Nianxue took a few deep breaths, and then a hint of fear and confusion appeared in her eyes. "Why did Manager Liu suddenly become so crazy? Were the things he said earlier true, or was he lying?"

"Did someone really capture the people close to him and try to threaten him?"

Lin Xiaotian knew what Chu Nianxue was worried about. The smile on his face became even more pronounced, and he said with a mischievous grin, "That guy was just lying. The people around him are long gone."

"Did he go crazy for more profit? After all, birds die for food and men die for wealth."

"That's why I said that guy has already learned his lesson. Don't worry, similar incidents will basically not happen in our company anymore."

He now needed to establish his own intelligence network, and Zhao Jinghai was an excellent choice. He was smart and knew how to prioritize.

Truly smart people understand their position and know that they absolutely cannot betray.

Otherwise, if they can betray one master, they will never be trusted by the next. They might even be used and then discarded. Betrayers will never have a good ending.

Zhao Jinhai had already made his choice without hesitation. From now on, he would have a news network covering the entire city.

Chu Nianxue said nothing, just leaned quietly in Lin Xiaotian's arms, listening to his strong heartbeat. A hint of shyness appeared in her beautiful eyes. "Are you hungry?"

Lin Xiaotian chuckled, "Wife, are you telling me I can eat you now?"

Chu Nianxue raised her head with a look of shy annoyance, pretending to be angry. "I'm not joking with you. I'm hungry now. I was so scared tonight and only waited for you to come back. I didn't even have time to drink a sip of water."

"But I brought you something delicious!" Lin Xiaotian pointed to the table.

Only then did Chu Nianxue notice that several boxes of dinner were already placed on the table.

The aroma made her mouth water, and her stomach rumbled.

Lin Xiaotian released her from his embrace, walked over, and opened the food containers. He knew that Chu Nianxue must not have had time to eat alone at home and would have been a little scared and anxious about what had happened.

So, after handling everything, he rushed back immediately and, passing by a restaurant, packed some food.

Tasting the delicious and beautifully presented food, Chu Nianxue's fear completely disappeared upon seeing Lin Xiaotian's sunny smile.

No matter when, as long as Lin Xiaotian was by her side, she didn't have to fear any storms.

Thinking of this, she couldn't help but ask, "Will you... will you always be by my side?"

Lin Xiaotian looked up, pretending to be confused. "You are my wife, and I won't let you go. You are mine in this life, and not just this life, but in all future lives, for eternity."

Chu Nianxue said nothing, just lowered her head, her heart filled with warmth.

After they finished eating, Lin Xiaotian casually threw the food containers into the trash can outside. When he walked back, he found that his bedding had already been placed on the bed.

The smile on his face became even brighter. He closed the bedroom door and rushed over.

Holding her in his arms, he felt incredibly secure, his heart filled with warmth.

However, he didn't act rashly, as he knew that this hard-won closeness could not be marred by his impulsive actions.

The morning sun shone into the room. Lin Xiaotian opened his eyes groggily and looked at the woman in his arms. Her exquisite beauty was like a fairy who had fallen to earth.

Her flawless face had not a single blemish, captivating him.

At that moment, Chu Nianxue's phone on the bedside table suddenly rang.

The sound woke her. She slightly opened her beautiful eyes and found that her hand was holding Lin Xiaotian. She must have fallen asleep in his arms last night.

She hadn't slept so comfortably in a long time. Looking at Lin Xiaotian's sunny smile, her heart fluttered like a little deer.

She quickly got up and picked up her phone from the nightstand.

Seeing that it was her assistant calling, she glanced at the time. "Why didn't you wake me? It's almost nine o'clock. There are very important matters at the company today, so I probably won't have time for breakfast. You should also get up and get ready quickly."

As Chu Nianxue said this, she had already answered the call and was walking towards the bathroom.

Lin Xiaotian sat up with a smile. "Wife, the company is yours. You can sleep in. No one can control you."

Chu Nianxue turned her head and gave him a charming roll of her eyes. She was already listening to her assistant report on work, detailing her schedule for the day. The assistant was also curious, as Ms. Chu had never been late before and always arrived earlier than other employees. Why was she suddenly late today?

After leaving home, Lin Xiaotian bought some breakfast on the way and also came to the company.

He still had no clue about the so-called "Heavenly Net." At this time, he didn't need to ask Old Li. He had heard Old Li mention the "Heavenly Net" before.

Such a notorious group, once discovered, would likely be wiped out immediately.

If Old Li had any information, he wouldn't have let those scoundrels linger until now.

They were a group of rats that everyone wanted to kill.
