“Navigator, come to my office. I have something to tell you…”

“Xia Shangzhou, where are you? Come here for a moment, I have something to tell you…”

“Navigator, don’t leave after work. I have something to tell you…”

Xia Shangzhou could hear Lin Jiayi saying those words to him almost every day, but for some reason, his heart skipped a beat as soon as she said those words, and a hint of uneasiness rose in his heart.

He stared at Lin Jiayi’s beautiful face for a moment, but he couldn’t find any clues. Thus, he asked, “CEO Lin… did something happen?”

Seeing Xia Shangzhou’s nervousness, Lin Jiayi chuckled once more. “No, it’s a good thing…”

After a brief pause, Lin Jiayi added, “It’s a work-related matter. But let’s eat first, and we’ll talk about it after.”

Since it was a work-related matter, why didn’t they talk about it in the office? Why did they have to talk about it here?

Xia Shangzhou was still feeling uneasy, but seeing that Lin Jiayi was no different from her usual self, he thought that it was because he was being sensitive, so he listened to her and didn’t ask any further.

Soon, the waiter served Lin Jiayi the dishes that she had ordered in advance. Xia Shangzhou took a look at them, and to his surprise, there were many dishes that he liked to eat.

Overwhelmed by the favor, he took another glance at Lin Jiayi. Perhaps it was because he had been neglected by her for too long that he suddenly felt even more uneasy.

Lin Jiayi caught his gaze and smiled at him. She picked up the dishes with her chopsticks and placed them on his plate, “Eat them while they’re hot.”

“CEO Lin, you… you should eat too…”Xia Shangzhou’s ears reddened slightly. He lowered his head and stared at the dishes on his plate for a long while before reluctantly stuffing them into his mouth.

Lin Jiayi didn’t seem to have much of an appetite, so she put down her chopsticks before she even touched any of the dishes.

Xia Shangzhou had eaten quite a bit, but when he finally stopped eating, he realized that Lin Jiayi had already wiped her hands clean, mended her lipstick, and leaned back in her chair, staring at him.

He noticed that there was only a tiny bit of oil on the plate in front of her, and he couldn’t help but frown. “CEO Lin, is your appetite bad? Why haven’t you eaten anything? Do you want to look at the menu again and add something else?”

As he spoke, Xia Shangzhou was about to call the waiter over.

Lin Jiayi quickly stopped him, “No need, I’m not that hungry.”

“But you should at least have something to eat for lunch…”

Before Xia Shangzhou could finish his sentence, Lin Jiayi interrupted him once more, “Xia Shangzhou.”

She had often heard such long-winded words from him in the past, and sometimes, when she was on her period, she would find him annoying. But today, she realized that… it was because she was distracted that she was so long-winded.

Before Xia Shangzhou could finish his sentence, Lin Jiayi interrupted him once more, “Xia Shangzhou.”

Lin Jiayi didn’t allow her thoughts to drift too far away, so she quickly retracted her thoughts. She looked at Xia Shangzhou and asked, “How long have you been in Lin Enterprise?”

Xia Shangzhou didn’t understand why Lin Jiayi would suddenly ask him this question. He was taken aback for a moment before replying, “Seven years and two months.”

“Seven years and two months… two thousand six hundred days… That’s a long time…”

Xia Shangzhou listened to Lin Jiayi’s lamentation, but he didn’t say a word. Nevertheless, his heart began to race.

“Navigator, to be honest, did a lot of people try to poach you?”

Xia Shangzhou nodded before shaking his head. “Yes, but I rejected them all… CEO Lin, did someone say something about me?”
