214: A promising start but a disappointing finish

Shao Zongze and Qiao Xingchen were stunned and frozen in place. It was no wonder they were like this; Chen Yuxi's actions were in such stark contrast to what they had anticipated.

The two of them had assumed that Chen Yuxi had been persuaded by them and that she was ready to sign the contract upon receiving it!

They had not expected Chen Yuxi to reject them so decisively, which far exceeded their expectations.

By the time they reacted, Lin Zifeng and Chen Yuxi had already turned and walked toward the Sea-View House.

Qiao Xingchen was about to chase after them, unwilling to give up, but was grabbed by Shao Zongze.

"President Shao, are we just going to give up like this? This is the first time we've seen such a top-tier woman! If we can't get a taste of her, it will be a lifelong regret. Are you really content with this?" Qiao Xingchen asked, puzzled.

"Even if you aren't content, what can you do? Do you want to force your way into their residence? Don't forget, this is a society ruled by law. If they choose to call the police, once this matter is exposed, it will not only affect the company's reputation, but we will also be in big trouble. If the matter blows up, we won't be able to stay in the entertainment industry anymore. We can't ruin our lives just because we're thinking with our lower heads!" Although Shao Zongze was also unwilling to give up, he remained rational and shook his head as he spoke.

Upon hearing Shao Zongze's words, Qiao Xingchen regained some rationality and nodded, saying, "I'm sorry, President Shao. I was a bit provoked by those two. If you hadn't advised me in time, I would have caused a huge disaster. But to just give up like this, it's really a pity. I'm truly unwilling!"

"We aren't completely without a chance. We are only a few hundred meters away from here. Let's go back and rest early, then get up early tomorrow to stake out the area and find a way to follow them. As long as we find an opportunity to see Ms. Chen alone, we will have a chance to persuade her; we can paint a bigger picture to tempt her. After all, with her husband present, even if she is tempted, she wouldn't be able to express it. As long as she can't resist the temptation and secretly signs with us, won't she be at our mercy later? Once she takes the first step, even if the couple is deeply in love, it won't take long before we make their marriage fall apart." Shao Zongze said, analyzing the situation while looking smug.

"President Shao is truly brilliant! No wonder you are the President while I can only be a Scout. You are much wiser than me; it seems I have a lot to learn from you." Qiao Xingchen said, laughing and flattering him.

The two talked as they walked toward their accommodation.

Lin Zifeng and Chen Yuxi didn't take this matter to heart, treating it as nothing more than a small interlude. Given their status, they truly hadn't taken the other party seriously.

So, after finishing dinner, the two sat on the large bed holding hands, listening to the sound of the waves for a while, until their gazes met. With just a look, they understood each other's thoughts. Lin Zifeng supported her shoulders and kissed her beautiful red lips, and Chen Yuxi closed her beautiful large eyes. After a passionate kiss ended, the two embraced and fell onto the spacious bed.

Nothing happened overnight. The next morning, after having breakfast and packing up, they called the pre-booked car service and the landlord of the Sea-View House.

Soon, the landlord and the car arrived one after another. Bidding farewell to the landlord, the two dragged their suitcases out of the Sea-View House and, with the driver's help, put the suitcases into the car.

As the two were busy leaving, Qiao Xingchen, who was hiding not far away behind the greenery, saw their actions and hurriedly called Shao Zongze.

"President Shao, those two seem to be leaving. The car to pick them up has already arrived. What should we do next?"

"Wait there. I'll drive over immediately. Let's see where they are going." After saying this, Shao Zongze hung up the phone.

Lin Zifeng and Chen Yuxi got into the business van, and the driver drove away. Neither of them noticed that they were being followed.

It wasn't until they reached the vicinity of the airport that Qiao Xingchen and Shao Zongze confirmed their destination.

"President Shao, it seems their vacation is over, and they are leaving. What should we do next? We can't even follow them anymore; it's too late to buy flight tickets." In his view, the fat meat ready to be eaten was about to fly away, so he spoke with some anxiety. They had done this kind of thing many times before, and the number of failed cases was very small. He didn't expect that such a promising beauty would have an accident, and he was very unwilling.

"There's nothing we can do about it. If they don't give us a chance, we can't just forcibly snatch someone, right? If you're really unwilling to give up, you can try again when you get to the airport while waiting for the flight! I have no other choice. However, if you decide to do this, you will have to bear any consequences yourself; it has nothing to do with me."

Qiao Xingchen knew that he said this to prevent any accidents and to distance himself first. He was also unwilling to be used as a pawn by the other party. So he pondered for a moment before saying: "President Shao, in the short time while waiting for the flight, the probability of those two separating is not high. That man has a special aura; although he speaks gently, he is definitely someone not to be trifled with. If I appear in front of them again, it would confirm the fact that we are following them, which is very likely to cause a dispute. In that case, let's forget it!"

By this time, they had arrived at the temporary parking lane. Watching Lin Zifeng and his companion drag their suitcases into the departure hall, Shao Zongze, who was hesitant to speak, nodded and drove away, ending the matter in an anti-climax.

Lin Zifeng and his companion didn't know about these things, and even if they did, they wouldn't take it too seriously. They walked into the waiting hall and found a corner to sit down.

"Hubby, Mom, Dad, and my sister know we are returning today and are waiting for us to have dinner together! We'll stay in the provincial capital for two days, then we'll go back to Yushu County together to live our little life and start running our small family." Chen Yuxi had already told Lin Zifeng about Chen Yuqing buying them a house in Yushu County. So, hearing what Chen Yuxi said, he smiled and said: "Wife, although I didn't marry into your family, I've started eating soft rice from your family. With such a good wife, what more could I ask for?" Lin Zifeng took the opportunity to joke.

"You just enjoy it! With me around in the future, I won't let you have any worries. You just need to focus on your work." Chen Yuxi patted him lightly and said with a coquettish smile.

The two chatted happily, and time passed unknowingly. Soon it was noon. The two went to the restaurant for lunch, and after the meal, they rested for more than an hour. Close to two o'clock, they went through security and boarded the plane.
