Chapter 115 Ruan Liuzheng: Do you know the chairman of Hanfei Group?

Ruan Liuzheng's eyes flickered.

It was so straightforward and sincere again.

But maybe because she had experienced a lot, she was not silent this time like the previous times, but was accustomed to it.

She curled her lips, and there was a special warmth in her cold voice.

"Aren't you afraid that in the end, you will lose both your money and your people, and you will not get my person or my heart?"

Ruan Liuzheng raised her eyes slightly, and there was a hint of teasing in her beautiful eyebrows. The tone of her voice rose slightly at the end, which seemed a bit deliberate.

She tapped the table unconsciously with her fingertips, her expression slightly distracted. "Besides, I don't deserve your careful attention. Xie Qingcen, I'm not a very good person. Sometimes I can even be a bit greedy and overbearing." "

It's precisely because of this that I..."

Ruan Liuzheng paused, as if reflecting on something difficult to articulate. She took a deep breath and continued, "A man, especially one of status and standing, would find it difficult to accept a partner whose abilities and means are comparable to his

own. They might even be wary of it." Xie Qingcen smiled faintly. He rested his forehead on one hand and looked at Ruan Liuzheng attentively. His elegant features were as gentle as ever, making it difficult to discern his specific thoughts. He

smiled softly and said, "That's something only the weak and useless worry about."

His tone was arrogant and haughty, and some of his words were tinged with a strong sense of disdain.

Wasn't his determination based in part on Ruan Liuzheng's abilities that matched his own?

The strong never bully the weak.

Xie Qingcen straightened up, his dark eyes slightly raised, a deep, dark hue in them.

He looked at Ruan Liuzheng, his delicate features etched with seriousness. "Truly capable people, truly wealthy families, never worry about the abilities of outsiders. What they truly care about is the future of the entire family."

"A wife whose abilities match the family heir's brings far more benefits than the jealousy and resentment you speak of. They need that kind of foresight, and a mistress who can shoulder the responsibility if something happens to the heir or the entire family."

Ruan Liuzheng's heart tightened.

Meeting Xie Qingcen's resolute gaze, she suddenly felt exposed.

Xie Qingcen had guessed her purpose; he understood her concerns.

Ruan Liuzheng was stunned, her fingers on the table unconsciously curling slightly. She stared at Xie Qingcen quietly, her pale pink lips gradually pursing into a straight line.

Her eyelids subconsciously closed.

She said those words just to make Xie Qingcen take two steps back and let his thoughts on her go a little.

She didn't want to bear it passively.

Moreover, facing Xie Qingcen's overwhelming affection and his extremely precious feelings, Ruan Liuzheng suddenly felt that she could not repay him.

She didn't know if she was worthy of this sincerity, nor was she sure how long Xie Qingcen's sincerity could last.

If... could she really treat Xie Qingcen with the same sincerity?

Ruan Liuzheng tightened her palms, and for some reason, a cluster of wrinkles appeared between her originally smooth brows.

It looked very annoying.

She was silent for a long time, and she still didn't speak, or should I say, she didn't know how to answer.

Xie Qingcen's slender jade-like knuckles tapped the table lightly, and he suddenly chuckled twice, and his elegant eyebrows became more and more beautiful.

He opened his lips, his voice was clear and mellow, and there was a faint smile.

"Love can't be measured by value. I just told you all that because I didn't want to burden you. My family is different from that scumbag you met before. My family won't discriminate against your status or fear your abilities." The

corners of his lips curled up slightly, and a glint flickered in his dark eyes. "With me, you don't have to think too much. Just follow your heart." "

Besides, I just told you about the medicinal food..."

Xie Qingcen paused slightly, looking at Ruan Liuzheng, his smile slowly deepening, his brows darkening.

"I just want you to care about me a little more, to know that in this world, besides Fu Jingcheng, there's someone else who will move my heart for you."

Ruan Liuzheng raised her eyes, her brows gradually relaxed, and a hint of helpless compromise flashed across her cold eyes.

But it must be said that Xie Qingcen was truly skilled at controlling people.

After his explanation, Ruan Liuzheng's mood indeed relaxed significantly, no longer as heavy and hesitant as before.

She let out a soft breath, the corners of her pale pink lips curling uncontrollably as she spoke, "If that's the case, then congratulations, you've achieved your goal." "

Mr. Xie, I tell you now clearly and solemnly that you have earned a place in my heart. I can no longer easily let you go."

Ruan Liuzheng raised her eyes, gazing intently at Xie Qingcen, her delicate features etched with an indescribable seriousness.

Xie Qingcen's eyes flickered, the corners of his thin lips curling uncontrollably, his joy barely concealed.

His eyebrows lifted slightly, his eyes so gentle they seemed to shed tears as he gazed at Ruan Liuzheng quietly. "Miss Ruan, there's no need to explain. I remain completely confident in my abilities." "

However, I'm extremely happy to have Miss Ruan's approval."

A low laugh escaped his throat, a soft, indescribably joyful laugh.

His dark, inky eyes were blazing and direct, their gaze fixed squarely on Ruan Liuzheng, searing and scorching.

Ruan Liuzheng's eyelashes trembled slightly. Even though she already knew Xie Qingcen's character, she had to admit that her heart was still involuntarily stirred by Xie Qingcen's words and attitude.

Her eyes flickered slightly, and she took a deep breath, forcibly suppressing the strangeness in her heart, and raised her eyes slightly, "I can see that the smile in your eyes has never disappeared, especially the tail that is sticking up behind you, it's probably reaching the ceiling."

Xie Qingcen's eyes paused, his eyes seemed a little surprised, and he didn't react for a moment.

But within two seconds, the whole restaurant was filled with his clear and joyful laughter.

He frowned and casually glanced at the food on the table, and a hint of helplessness flashed across his dark eyes.

When will the time be ripe?

If this continues, his self-control will soon be reduced to zero.

Xie Qingcen looked at Ruan Liuzheng, his eyes were deep, and a faint sigh suddenly overflowed from his throat.

...

Halfway through dinner, Ruan Liuzheng suddenly remembered something. She put down her chopsticks, her cold eyes fixed on Xie Qingcen across from her.

She said nothing, but her gaze was hard to ignore.

And not only did Xie Qingcen sense it, but even Fu Jingcheng, who was standing next to her, had noticed something.

They both paused, chewing their food in unison, then took a sip of water from the cups beside them.

They raised their eyes together, and unsurprisingly, two pairs of beautiful, distinctive eyes turned to Ruan Liuzheng, clear and bright.

Ruan Liuzheng felt a little uncomfortable being stared at. She coughed lightly and asked, seemingly puzzled, "Why are you looking at me? Have you finished eating?"

Seeing Ruan Liuzheng's obvious act of ignorance, Fu Jingcheng curled his lips in a slightly speechless manner. He looked up and said, "Mom, your eyes seem to be devouring Dad."

Ruan Liuzheng was slightly startled.

A rare flicker of embarrassment crossed her fair, delicate face.

She smiled. "Is it obvious?"

Xie Qingcen raised an eyebrow. He folded his hands in front of him, leaning back slightly, his demeanor languid.

His delicate features looked a bit charming under the bright light.

He said calmly, "What else? Miss Ruan, do you have any questions I could answer for you?"

Ruan Liuzheng pursed her lips and nodded slightly. "Yes, do you know the chairman of Hanfei Group?"

She had just remembered that Xie Qingcen, besides being a lawyer, seemed to be a businessman, a company owner.

However, since she had only casually glanced at the business card Xie Qingcen handed her during their first meeting, she hadn't read the details clearly.

Besides, Ruan Liuzheng's attention was distracted by a stomachache at the time, and even if she tried to recall, she couldn't recall the contents of the business card.

Ruan Liuzheng stared intently at Xie Qingcen before her, a hint of curiosity etched in her cold eyes.

Today, Rosent suddenly mentioned Hanfei Group, focusing particularly on its new chairman, praising him with such admiration.

It was hard not to be curious.

In all her years knowing Rosent, she had rarely seen him so appreciative of someone.

Although Rosent also came from a wealthy family, his unique status meant he wasn't taken seriously by others. However,

he was indeed the legitimate heir to their family.

One of the reasons Ruan Liuzheng met Rosent and founded Sofan with him was that

he wanted to gain their family's recognition, prove his strength as the heir, and silence those who ignored him.

Although Ruan Liuzheng later broke her promise for Fu Yanci, Rosent had always remained true to his original

aspirations, never once considering giving up.

Moreover, despite Rosent's lack of recognition from his family, his standards for judging people were surprisingly high.

His judgment was also quite accurate.

Ruan Liuzheng rarely heard praise from Rosent, especially from a businessman.

Even though he was the heir to a prestigious family in Yuncheng.

But…

her eyes shifted, and as she lifted her eyelids, her gaze towards Xie Qingcen grew increasingly intense. "You're in the same industry, so you should know each other, right?"

Xie Qingcen paused, instantly remembering the notes he had just seen in the study. A subtle curve curved his lips.

He swirled his tongue around his lips, his brows raised slightly. "I guess we know each other. What's wrong?"

Ruan Liuzheng pondered. "Nothing, just that I'm going to a banquet hosted by the Hanfei Group with my friends, and I was a little curious."

She tapped the table with her fingertips, her delicate features appearing gentle under the bright light.

It was a subtle gesture she made when she was thinking or wondering. It

seemed like there was more to this than just a banquet.

Xie Qingcen raised his eyes slightly, his dark eyes like a dark pool, quietly looking at Ruan Liuzheng.

His emotions were a little dark and difficult to understand.
