58: Chapter 58 Xia Wei's Concern

The streetlights were just turning on. Neon lights flickered below on the road.

Xia Wei stood in her CEO office, feeling a bit empty. Her office was very large, a full two hundred square meters. The floor was paved with luxurious marble. The walls were covered in expensive wallpaper. There was even a large, antique-style bookshelf neatly filled with various books.

A white leather sofa exuded nobility. Potted plants decorated the surroundings. Moonlight spilled in through the window, making the office appear even more magnificent.

"Robinson, are you busy right now? Do you have time to come to my office?" Xia Wei said, sounding listless.

"Oh, Miss Xia, do you have any instructions?"

"Nothing much, I'll give you half an hour. I'll be waiting for you in the office."

Xia Wei was in a bad mood today. She didn't want to waste too many words with Robinson.

Knock, knock, knock.

A series of wild knocking sounds followed.

Having received permission, Zhang Shan entered Xia Wei's office.

What came into view was a very large executive desk. Xia Wei was sitting in the boss's chair, looking not very happy.

"I have heard about your affairs. Did Qin Peifeng go to find you? You must be careful with this person. Although he appears harmless to humans and animals, his heart is very dark. His schemes are unfathomable."

Xia Wei continued, lost in her own thoughts.

"You don't need to worry about that. A small fry like him is no match for me at all."

Zhang Shan said confidently.

"Robinson, what kind of person do you think I am? Am I someone without a brain, or someone who doesn't care about anything? Or in your eyes, am I just a useless person?"

Xia Wei suddenly questioned Zhang Shan out of the blue.

"Hmm? What are you talking about? Why don't I understand? What kind of questions are you trying to ask me?"

"Robinson, even if I sent a group of highly skilled people to fight you right now, they might not necessarily be able to beat you."

Xia Wei stared into his eyes and said.

"You're not wrong about that; they are indeed no match for me." Zhang Shan explained nonchalantly.

Xia Wei didn't expect him to be so frank. Based on the information she had received, Robinson was definitely not a weak person. His formidable combat skills could take down several burly men in minutes. This showed that his strength was truly extraordinary.

Xia Wei didn't understand. Since he was so powerful, why didn't he reveal his strength and dominate the entire Zhili Country?

Xia Wei had to admit that Zhang Shan was becoming more and more mysterious. She felt as if she had fallen into a huge vortex, wanting more and more to explore his secrets. She was also becoming increasingly curious about him.

"Robinson, do you know? The deeper you hide, the more I want to dig up your secrets." Xia Wei looked at Zhang Shan with burning eyes.

"Oh, really? But I'm sorry, I don't want you to know my secrets, and there is no need for you to know my secrets."

Zhang Shan flatly rejected her words.

Xia Wei closed her eyes and sighed deeply. This Zhang Shan could really easily provoke her anger.

Seeing that Xia Wei ignored him and didn't tell him to leave, as if he were a transparent person, Zhang Shan felt a little embarrassed. After all, it was Xia Wei who called him, so it wouldn't be good for him to leave suddenly.

The two of them sat facing each other without speaking. The sound of their breathing echoed in the empty office.

Zhang Shan felt extremely bored. If it was just going to be like this, why did she call him here? The two of them sitting face to face without talking—what was this, staring contests?

"Xia Wei, have you made enough trouble? What exactly do you want?" Zhang Shan really didn't want to waste any more time with her. If Xia Wei wasn't tired, he was!

Xia Wei suddenly stood up, walked over to Zhang Shan, and looked down at him.

"Robinson, do you think I'm good-looking? How do I compare to others?"

Xia Wei suddenly came out with this out of the blue.

Zhang Shan didn't even raise his head and said.

"You are truly beautiful; you are the first person one sees in a crowd. Ordinary women simply cannot compare to you. You are at the pinnacle of beauty."

"Really? Then why aren't you even willing to look up at me? Am I really that bad in your heart?"

Xia Wei felt a little aggrieved.

"That's not it, Xia Wei. I don't look up at you because I don't like the feeling of being looked down upon. Your appearance is defined by yourself; there is no need for others to say anything."

"But your opinion is very important to me!" Xia Wei suddenly lost control of her emotions.

"Um, Miss Xia, please watch your words and actions. Saying things like that always makes me feel like we have something going on."

"Does being with me make you feel embarrassed?" As she spoke, tears fell from Xia Wei's eyes.

Watching Xia Wei shed tears, Zhang Shan was a little at a loss.

"Don't cry! What's going on? What did I say to make you cry? I'm most afraid of girls crying. Stop crying, it won't look good if others see! If people see, they'll think I'm bullying you, and you're a dignified CEO."

Zhang Shan didn't know why he felt so flustered when facing Xia Wei.

"What nonsense are you talking about? Who would come at such a late hour? Besides, do you think my office has such poor security? But you did bully me, you just did!"

As she spoke, she began to cry out loud.

Zhang Shan wanted to walk over and pat her. But suddenly he realized, this wasn't his brother; this was a woman! What if he couldn't explain it clearly later?

"Robinson, do you know? When I found out you went to see Lin Sheng alone, I was so worried about you. Although we may not have met many times, do you believe in love at first sight? That's the feeling I have for you."

Zhang Shan became even more flustered after hearing these words.

"When I heard my subordinate tell me that day that you went to the dilapidated factory where Lin Sheng was alone, do you know how worried I was? I had investigated that Lin Sheng, but I hadn't had time to tell you yet, and you had already gone."

"I also know that our relationship hasn't reached the point where we can tell each other everything. But I thought we were friends after all."

Zhang Shan helplessly patted her. He had no choice but to bite the bullet and say.

"Let's just consider this matter my fault; we are friends. I won't take such risks in the future. Can you please stop crying?"

Hearing Zhang Shan's soft-hearted words, Xia Wei laughed on the spot.

Her laugh left Zhang Shan a bit confused. Are women really like this? Crying one moment and laughing the next? So unpredictable.

But how should he put it? When Xia Wei said this afternoon that she was worried about him, he actually felt a little warmth in his heart.

This feeling of being cared for by someone was actually quite nice.
