Ling Zhenfei felt a bit panicked inside, not knowing who this person was, whether they were a paparazzi or an enemy of his.

Taking his photo could be for posting online to make money, or it could be for gathering his information for revenge—it was hard to say.

Although he felt panicked, Ling Zhenfei remained composed, not knowing what the other party was up to, he couldn't rashly take any action.

Ling Zhenfei thought of Yang Zixuan; if this person was a bad guy looking to gather his information to target him, wouldn't that put Yang Zixuan in great danger?

Thinking this, Ling Zhenfei hurriedly called Yang Zixuan, wanting to tell her not to come over and to meet somewhere else instead.

But just as he got through to Yang Zixuan's phone, he suddenly heard someone calling him from behind.

"Big Brother Ling, I'm right behind you, no need to make a call."

It was Yang Zixuan's voice, Ling Zhenfei was surprised and turned around to indeed see Yang Zixuan standing there looking at him.

Today, Yang Zixuan was dressed in a pale blue dress and light yellow high heels.

She looked very pretty with a goddess-like charm, quite a change from the shy and reserved Yang Zixuan of the past.

If this were the past, Yang Zixuan would never dare to wear such clothes, but now she looked much better, fully revealing her good figure.

"How did you get here so quickly?" Ling Zhenfei was somewhat shocked.

"Is something wrong, Big Brother Ling?" Perhaps sensing something off in Ling Zhenfei's eyes, Yang Zixuan quickly asked.

Since Yang Zixuan had already arrived, Ling Zhenfei of course couldn't say anything. The person must have already taken her picture, the situation couldn't be changed; they would have to see how things unfold.

"It's nothing, let's hurry up and go upstairs."

As Ling Zhenfei spoke, he walked inside, only to find that Yang Zixuan had naturally linked her arm through his.

The two of them walked into the restaurant, appearing just like a couple.

Although Ling Zhenfei somewhat did not want this, if he directly pushed Yang Zixuan away, it could very possibly hurt her feelings, so Ling Zhenfei had no choice but to go along with it.

The two found a spot and sat down, ordered their dishes, and then sat facing each other.

Although Yang Zixuan had slightly changed in both attire and personality, once they sat together, Ling Zhenfei could still sense that in some ways, Yang Zixuan hadn't changed.

She was still somewhat girlish, somewhat inspiring a protective impulse.

"Tell me, what happened?" Ling Zhenfei really wanted to know what trouble Yang Zixuan had encountered.

Yang Zixuan hesitated for a moment, but after hesitating a while, she said, "President Lin called me."

When Ling Zhenfei heard the mention of President Lin, he didn't react for a moment, and after two seconds, he was taken aback, "Are you talking about Yuluo?"

Yang Zixuan nodded and said, "Yes, Lin Yuluo, President Lin, called me."

"What did she say?"

Ling Zhenfei had different feelings about Lin Yuluo; after all, a lot had happened between them, and they had almost confirmed their relationship.

When Lin Yuluo left, she made it very clear that anytime Ling Zhenfei wanted, he could find her, and then the entire Lin's Group would be his.

But Ling Zhenfei had refused; he didn't want to be a man living off a woman. Since then, he had never seen Lin Yuluo again.

Lin Yuluo, as if in a huff, had never called him since then, and now hearing Lin Yuluo's name brought up many memories for Ling Zhenfei.

"She asked about your situation?" Yang Zixuan said.

"Is that all she asked?" Ling Zhenfei was curious what Lin Yuluo was up to.

Yang Zixuan nodded and said, "She also said she wanted to give me some money to let me go work in the company's branch, away from Binyang."

Ling Zhenfei understood immediately. Lin Yuluo's purpose in making Yang Zixuan leave Binyang was too obvious—it was to keep Yang Zixuan away from him.

Originally, there wasn't much of a relationship between Ling Zhenfei and Yang Zixuan, so what Lin Yuluo did was really quite unreasonable.

"So what do you mean?" Ling Zhenfei asked Yang Zixuan.

Yang Zixuan thought for a moment and said, "I want to resign; I don't want to work at Lin's Group anymore."

"But you must already be a manager by now, resigning would be such a pity," Ling Zhenfei was shocked by Yang Zixuan's decision.

"I don't care, I just don't want to leave Binyang, and I certainly don't want to leave you."

Yang Zixuan said stubbornly, clearly having made up her mind.

Ling Zhenfei thought for a moment and said, "Well, if you want to resign, that's also fine. We are actually in need of a financial manager at Xishan Manor. Why don't you come work with us at Xishan Manor?"

Yang Zixuan's eyes widened in shock as she said, "Big Brother Lin, are you serious?"

"Of course I'm serious. Is there any doubt?"

Yang Zixuan, still in disbelief, said, "But if I do that, won't President Lin get even angrier when he finds out?"

Ling Zhenfei laughed after hearing this, "Zi Xuan, why do you always think about others? Do you really think there's something between me and Lin Yuluo?"

Feeling a bit embarrassed, Yang Zixuan said, "But wasn't it rumored in the company that you and Lin Yuluo were boyfriend and girlfriend?"

"You believe those rumors? When Lin Yuluo left, she indeed asked me to go with her, but I refused. I am not a man who relies on a woman."

"If that's really the case, I'll go work at your company then. Just to be clear, it was you who invited me, so if President Lin really comes back and asks, I have an answer ready."

Ling Zhenfei nodded and said, "Okay, I understand. It was me who invited you."

Ling Zhenfei took off his mask to eat, but just after he had taken a couple of bites, he suddenly heard the faint sound of a camera shutter.

Although the sound was very soft, Ling Zhenfei still caught it.

A thought flashed through Ling Zhenfei's mind. He hadn't expected that the person in the car outside would actually follow him inside. He really didn't know what this guy was up to.

Ling Zhenfei released his Divine Sense. Although he didn't move physically, he had completely locked onto the person.

This was a middle-aged man, looking to be in his thirties, wearing a mask and a hat, carrying a handbag, sitting in a corner closely watching everything Ling Zhenfei was doing.

Filled with suspicion, Ling Zhenfei said to Yang Zixuan, "You keep eating, I'm going to the restroom."

Then Ling Zhenfei walked towards the direction of the restroom, and as he did, the middle-aged man also got up and followed behind him.

Ling Zhenfei turned and walked around a corner, the middle-aged man followed, but when he got there, he suddenly discovered that Ling Zhenfei had disappeared.

Anxious, he looked around everywhere but couldn't see where Ling Zhenfei had gone.

"Hello, are you looking for me?"

All of a sudden, a voice appeared, startling the middle-aged man, who then realized that Ling Zhenfei had somehow gotten behind him.

"I'm not looking for you; I just didn't know where the restroom was, so I was going to ask," the middle-aged man started to make excuses.

"Is that so? Do you also bring your camera to the restroom?" Ling Zhenfei asked with a smile.

"Don't talk nonsense, what's wrong with bringing valuable items to the restroom?" the middle-aged man said as he tried to leave, but Ling Zhenfei stopped him.
