Chapter 834: Chapter 833: Accidental
"Lian Chuan, I...I only touched her hand by accident..."
Lin Li hastily explained.
Liu Zheng stepped forward, clutching Lin Li’s chin, "By accident? Lin Li, do you think I am blind? I saw everything. You did it on purpose!"
Lin Li guiltily avoided his gaze, hanging her head low, "Lian Chuan, I know I was wrong."
Liu Zheng flung her head away, "Get out!"
Ye Yunxi watched as Lin Li was shoved out, her brows furrowing in disapproval. That Liu Zheng, he really is quick to defend his own!
Liu Zheng glanced at Ye Yunxi, "President Ye, I apologize for my late arrival."
Ye Yunxi offered a faint smile, "It’s alright."
The two sat on the sofa sipping tea when Ye Yunxi inquired, "Lian Chuan, when did you return to the country?"
"Last night."
"Oh," Ye Yunxi nodded, then hesitantly asked, "You weren’t hurt yesterday, were you?"
Liu Zheng shook his head, "No."
Ye Yunxi looked at Liu Zheng, "How are things with your boss... with him?"
"Him?" Liu Zheng’s expression suddenly turned somber, a bitter smile on his face, "He’s had a falling out with his mother and moved out. I’m not sure what the reason is, but I feel he’s quite agitated, and I’m really worried about him."
"Is that so?"
Ye Yunxi fell silent for a moment, her thoughts drifting to Shen Mochen’s avoidance of Shen Mochen—how he seemed to be constantly evading him.
"Yunxi, I came to you today because I have a favor to ask," Liu Zheng suddenly spoke up.
Ye Yunxi slightly frowned, "What is it?"
"I’d like you to help take care of my uncle. He’s lost his memory and doesn’t remember anything, so I’m afraid he might hurt himself or do something foolish. Don’t worry, I’ll pay you!"
Ye Yunxi was surprised upon hearing this.
The news of Ye Yunxi’s argument with Lin Zhendong had spread throughout the industry; Ye Zhendong had stormed off, vowing to never return to Capital City.
His return would likely stir up a lot of trouble, and now Liu Zheng was asking her to care for Shen Mochen!
Ye Yunxi couldn’t help feeling uneasy, "Are you sure you want me to take care of him?"
Liu Zheng nodded firmly, "I think you know better than I do what kind of man he is. I believe he must have been in despair to move out. So, please, I’m begging you!"
Liu Zheng looked at Ye Yunxi earnestly. After a long hesitation, she finally nodded her agreement.
Liu Zheng let out a sigh of relief, then stood up and said to Ye Yunxi, "Yunxi, thank you."
"No need."
After Liu Zheng left, Ye Yunxi picked up the documents on the table and began studying them carefully.
Ye Corporation was a top-tier enterprise in Capital City, often dealing with the prominent families, and this time, it was responsible for crisis management for the Shen Corporation’s emergency.
The crisis was a result of Shen Corporation’s failed investment in Huaxia, which resulted in Shen Mochen losing a significant piece of territory in Huaxia.
This was his retribution, she supposed.
Ye Yunxi didn’t know if what she was doing was right, but since she had chosen Shen Mochen, she was prepared to try, whether for his sake or for Liu Zheng’s.
She picked up the phone and dialed Liu Zheng’s number.
"Lian Chuan, where are you? I need a favor from you."
"I’m at the hospital. I’ve written down your ward number on a note and will come find you right away."
Liu Zheng hung up and immediately drove to the hospital Ye Yunxi had mentioned.
Upon arriving at her ward, he was informed that Ye Yunxi had been transferred to a VIP ward and did not wish anyone to enter.
Liu Zheng furrowed his brow, What on earth is this woman up to?
He waited in the hospital for about half an hour until Ye Yunxi did indeed show up.
Liu Zheng looked at Ye Yunxi and questioned, "Yunxi, what are you doing?"
Ye Yunxi sighed and sat down on the chair, "Lian Chuan, I know you mean well, but you should know how obsessed I am with this job. The loss this time was too great, and I need to recover it as soon as possible. Otherwise, my dad will definitely blame me, so I had no choice but to resort to this. I’m sorry to put you in this situation, but don’t worry, once I’ve made enough money, I will compensate you."
Liu Zheng raised an eyebrow, "You’re the one saying this, don’t go back on your word when the time comes!"
"Don’t worry, am I that kind of person?" Ye Yunxi huffed lightly, then continued, "Lian Chuan, I know you care about me, but you have to understand me as well. I’m no longer the president of Mu Corporation now. You still want me to act like a president, how would all the high-level executives view me? This won’t benefit you either."
"I’ve said before, I don’t care about other people’s opinions. I just think you are a good girl who deserves a better man."
Ye Yunxi was stunned, "Lian Chuan, I really appreciate it, but..."
Liu Zheng looked into Ye Yunxi’s expression, suddenly reached out, and held her wrist, "I’ve decided to pursue you."
To pursue you.
That sentence, like a bomb, stunned Ye Yunxi’s mind. She looked at Liu Zheng blankly, "Lian Chuan, you..."
Liu Zheng stared earnestly into her eyes, "I know you don’t have feelings for me, and I won’t force it. I can wait for you, wait for you to slowly fall in love with me."
"Lian Chuan, I really..."
"Yunxi, you don’t need to rush to reject me. I believe that, with enough time, you will definitely like me, trust me!"
Liu Zheng looked at her, his eyes full of conviction. Ye Yunxi’s heart raced, "Lian Chuan, why do you like me?"
Liu Zheng cleared his throat, "Because I am a very focused person. Besides you, my heart can’t fit another woman."
After saying this, Liu Zheng watched Ye Yunxi eagerly, as if waiting for her answer.
Liu Zheng’s eyes were bright, like a deep pool, and his handsome, dashing face was captivating, making it difficult to look away. How could she refuse such a wonderful guy?
"Lian Chuan, I..."
"Listen to me first, Yunxi, I know you’re an excellent designer, so I also want to become an excellent jewelry designer. As it happens, I am a jeweler, and you are a jewelry designer, so if you’re willing to help me, we can collaborate."
Surprise flashed in Ye Yunxi’s eyes, "We can collaborate?"
"Of course we can. As long as you’re willing to help me, I can provide you with all the clothing and accessories you desire, including a collection of top designers’ jewelry. Do you think this is a profitable deal for you?"
Ye Yunxi’s eyes lit up, indeed, this business was very advantageous for her. This way, she could transform from an ordinary designer into an excellent jewelry designer!
"Good! I agree!"
"Great, Yunxi, rest assured, I won’t let you suffer a loss. When the time comes, each of us will hold five percent of the shares, that way, you can independently establish your own brand."
"Five percent, in that case, you’re holding eighty percent, don’t be like this!"
"Don’t you want my help?"
"Lian Chuan, that’s not what I meant."
Liu Zheng smiled, "So you mean, you’re willing to collaborate with me?"
Ye Yunxi nodded.
Liu Zheng’s smile turned smug, his eyes revealed a determined joy.
He had already thoroughly investigated Ye Yunxi’s background, therefore, all her information was in his hands. This way, no matter where Ye Yunxi went, Liu Zheng could find her.
"Yunxi, then let’s meet tomorrow."
"Okay."
Ye Yunxi was about to say goodbye when she suddenly noticed a pair of black leather shoes coming into view. She looked up sharply, only to see Shen Muyang standing at the doorway, his gaze icy.
"Muyang, Brother," Ye Yunxi called out somewhat awkwardly, then lowered her head again, "Muyang, Brother, when did you come? Why didn’t you knock?"
Shen Muyang walked up to her, staring at Ye Yunxi, "If I had arrived a moment later, would you have already agreed to Liu Zheng’s pursuit?"
Ye Yunxi pursed her lips and remained silent.
"Yunxi, do you even know what you are doing?" Shen Muyang asked in a cold voice.
Ye Yunxi lifted her head, her gaze stubborn and calm, "Of course I know what I’m doing, and I’m very clear about it."
Shen Muyang’s eyes were slightly moist, he couldn’t believe that there was someone as stubborn as Ye Yunxi in the world.
"You don’t know what Liu Zheng really thinks of you, let me tell you, Liu Zheng is doing this on purpose."
"What?" Ye Yunxi looked at Shen Muyang in surprise; she really hadn’t expected that Liu Zheng was getting close to her on purpose.
"Ye Yunxi, can’t you see that Liu Zheng has feelings for you? Let me tell you, Liu Zheng’s approach to you is not out of sincerity. You must not be deceived by him."
Ye Yunxi fell silent for a long time, finally shaking her head slowly, "Muyang, Brother, you’ve misunderstood him. He didn’t approach me on purpose; it was I who approached him."
