Chapter 444: Chapter 448: Don’t Overestimate Your Importance
After Ran Xiangsi finished speaking those words, she held her breath waiting for Xing Chen’s response.
She could hear that his tone was indifferent.
Would he refuse or agree?
Her heart skipped a beat; Ran Xiangsi was imagining how he would respond to her. However, in the next second, she heard the sound of a dial tone in her ear.
He hung up on her directly...
It felt like a heavy blow had struck her heart. Frowning slightly, Ran Xiangsi put down her phone.
It seemed that Xing Chen cared about things much more than she had imagined.
Sighing quietly to herself, Ran Xiangsi turned around, ready to leave.
At the same time, Ping’an received a call, hurriedly turned back, and opened the office door, inviting Ran Xiangsi inside.
"Miss Ran, the young master has agreed to see you."
Upon hearing this, Ran Xiangsi’s footsteps suddenly halted. She turned around to see the now open door.
The delight that followed her initial disappointment felt so much more precious.
Ran Xiangsi eagerly nodded and walked towards the door, stepping inside.
Once Ran Xiangsi was inside, Ping’an then closed the door properly.
To avoid eavesdropping from Xiahou Chunyi again, right?
In the spacious office.
Ran Xiangsi took a few steps inside, her first gaze falling upon the desk, but she did not find any trace of Xing Chen.
Instinctively, she turned around and saw him casually sitting on the guest sofa, his long legs crossed. In a perfectly tailored suit that matched his meticulous hairstyle, his natural aura of a king was effortlessly revealed.
In his hand, he even swung a glass of red wine.
Upon seeing her enter, he slightly lifted his eyelids, his gaze as placid as tepid water.
As if... he was just meeting a very ordinary guest.
Ran Xiangsi felt a pang of sadness from his cold and distant attitude, her steps naturally slowing down as she refrained from getting too close.
They used to be so intimate, but now... even a glance at each other felt so awkward.
Ran Xiangsi suddenly felt at a loss.
She bit her lower lip hard, trying to focus and not think about personal emotions.
"Your opponent is very powerful. With me around, I can barely protect your system. Mr. Xie and the team’s technology cannot match the opponent’s."
These were the words Ran Xiangsi came to say today.
If she wasn’t there, Rongsheng Technology would completely fall in the next attack.
She knew Xing Chen was a smart person; he should understand this, right?
But unexpectedly, his reply was filled with extreme disdain.
"You are still defending that person’s existence. If that’s the case, why should you care whether my system is breached? Miss Ran, don’t think too highly of yourself."
His voice was so cool, revealing no anger, yet inexplicably it made her heart wrench tightly!
Ran Xiangsi truly didn’t understand. Did he have to be so aggressive? Did he have to hurt her like this?
Taking another deep breath to adjust her emotions, Ran Xiangsi ignored his sarcasm. "If you continue to act on impulse, the one who will regret it in the end is sure to be you."
"Whether or not I will regret it is none of your concern." While speaking, Xing Chen took a light sip of red wine.
His face was expressionless, maintaining a calm facade.
Everything was hidden so well.
Except for his hand at the side, which was quietly clenching, slightly deforming the soft leather of the sofa.
He was still not quite used to being so confrontational with her.
