When Shen Tianxing saw the name ‘Xie Linchuan’ appear on her phone, she was absolutely thrilled!
She asked Gu Letong to keep an eye on things first, then went to a secluded spot nearby and quickly answered the call.
“Hello~~” Shen Tianxing’s voice was soft.
“Shen Tianxing!”
Hearing Xie Linchuan roar her name, Shen Tianxing quickly held the phone away from her ear!
Shen Tianxing: Why is my future husband so fierce! Not cute at all!
“Lower your voice. If my ears go deaf from the noise, I won’t be able to hear anything!”
Xie Linchuan on the other end suppressed his anger and asked through gritted teeth:
“Shen Tianxing, what exactly do you want?”
Shen Tianxing wasn’t angry. She replied playfully, “I want to see you~!”
The other end of the line suddenly fell silent.
Shen Tianxing held the phone without speaking, suddenly feeling a bit sad!
Why was Xie Linchuan treating her like this after her rebirth? He clearly loved her to the core, so why was he coldly pushing her away?
The two of them silently listened to each other’s breathing, counting their heartbeats in the quiet.
“Where are you?” Shen Tianxing didn’t know how much time had passed before Xie Linchuan finally spoke those icy words.
She took a deep breath. Her goal was clear now—to pursue Xie Linchuan!
Whether he loved her or not, Shen Tianxing was determined to give it her all!
Even if he didn’t love her in the end, even if he treated her poorly in this life, it didn’t matter. After all, she had been reborn just to repay this debt of affection!
Shen Tianxing adjusted her emotions and said cheerfully:
“I’m at the mall owned by the wealthy Xie family! Using your card to spend money at your place—aren’t I being considerate of you?”
“Get upstairs now. I’m only giving you ten minutes!”
“Okay, I’ll be right there!”
Shen Tianxing quickly returned to Gu Letong’s side.
“Letong, take these things to the car first. I have something to do and will meet you in the car in ten minutes!”
“What are you going to do?”
“I’ll tell you later!!!”
Shen Tianxing immediately turned and broke into a light jog!
On the other end, after hanging up, Xie Linchuan was extremely frustrated!
What exactly did this woman want?
Could this be another one of her pranks?
Xie Linchuan tugged lightly at his tie twice, leaning back in his office chair with a gloomy expression.
His eyes fell on a floor clock in the room.
Ten minutes!
He would wait for her for ten minutes. If she actually dared to show up…
Then no matter what she said, he would agree to it!
Even if it meant marrying her, or handing over all the projects to Fu Jinyan—he would do it!
Shen Tianxing jogged all the way to the nearest elevator, but all the direct elevators were stuck on middle floors!
‘Ding!’
When the elevator door at the far end opened, she dashed inside in one swift move.
The moment she entered, she regretted it.
The elevator was packed full of goods, and she instantly realized—this was a freight elevator!
At that moment, she truly understood what it meant to survive in a cramped space.
When the freight elevator stopped on the 17th floor, Shen Tianxing checked the time—almost three minutes had already passed.
Seeing the workers lock the elevator on the 17th floor and start unloading the goods one by one, she nearly went crazy!
Her mind was completely out of control now—she had to see Xie Linchuan.
In a burst of impulsiveness, she rushed out of the elevator and opened the nearby fire escape door.
Xie Linchuan’s office was on the 32nd floor. Starting from the 17th floor, she had to climb 15 floors!!!Shen Tianxing had only climbed three floors when she discovered that her high heels had rubbed two large, tender blisters on the backs of her feet.
Without a second thought, she took off her shoes, held them in her hand, and sprinted up the stairs!
20th floor…
24th floor…
28th floor…
31st floor…
32nd floor…
Shen Tianxing glanced at her watch—less than a minute left!
She pushed open the emergency door, not bothering to put her shoes back on, and rushed straight toward Xie Linchuan’s office.
Meanwhile.
Inside the room, Xie Linchuan saw that time was almost up, and Shen Tianxing hadn’t appeared. He stood up, grabbed his suit jacket, and prepared to leave.
This woman was really lying to him!
If she wouldn’t come, then he would go find her!
At that moment, Xie Linchuan had only one simple thought in his mind:
Wherever she was, find her, catch her, lock her up, and keep her!
Click~
As soon as Xie Linchuan opened the door, he saw Shen Tianxing, barefoot and panting, being stopped by the receptionist.
“Miss, you can’t go in. You don’t have an appointment!”
“I… have an appointment~!”
With time running out, Shen Tianxing had no patience to argue with the receptionist.
Most importantly, she was too exhausted to speak.
She tried to force her way in but was firmly held back by the two receptionists.
“Miss, if you keep this up, I’ll have to call security!”
Shen Tianxing: Just my luck—when it rains, it pours. Heaven really wants to finish me off!
“What are you doing?” Xie Linchuan suddenly shouted.
“Xie Linchuan.”
Shen Tianxing checked the time and excitedly yelled at Xie Linchuan, “9 minutes and 50 seconds!”
Xie Linchuan slowly walked over to Shen Tianxing.
One of the receptionists immediately explained:
“Mr. Xie, this lady tried to force her way in without an appointment!”
Shen Tianxing: Watch carefully, I’m your future boss’s wife. Saying that about me makes you not cute at all!
Xie Linchuan looked coldly at Shen Tianxing.
His gaze traveled from top to bottom, and Shen Tianxing followed his eyes to her own small feet.
Filthy…
Absolutely unbearable to look at!!
Her two little feet nervously rubbed against each other.
“You ran up?” Xie Linchuan asked with a stern face.
Shen Tianxing nodded!
“Wasn’t there an elevator?”
Shen Tianxing nodded, then immediately shook her head.
She looked at Xie Linchuan with a pitiful expression and whispered:
“I took the wrong elevator—the freight elevator—and it stopped at the 17th floor. I was afraid I wouldn’t make it in time, so I ran up!”
“Look, my feet are covered in blisters. It hurts so much!!”
Xie Linchuan: Crazy! Is this woman trying to act cute with me???
Shen Tianxing: Stupid man, would it kill you to show a little concern for me?!
Xie Linchuan handed his suit jacket to the nearest receptionist, took a step toward Shen Tianxing, and scooped her up in a princess carry.
He turned and walked straight into his office. The moment she was lifted, Shen Tianxing rested her head against Xie Linchuan’s chest, feeling his strong and steady heartbeat.
Xie Linchuan placed her on the sofa, then turned and walked to his desk. Using a remote, he lowered all the blinds in the room.
With his back to Shen Tianxing, he said coldly:
“Speak. What exactly do you want?”
Shen Tianxing didn’t answer. Instead, she quietly walked toward Xie Linchuan.
Not receiving a response, Xie Linchuan was about to turn around and vent his anger at Shen Tianxing.
But then.
The moment he turned—
Whoosh~
Shen Tianxing threw herself into his arms, wrapping her arms tightly around him!Xie Linchuan once again raised his hands in an instant, startled…
“Shen Tianxing, what exactly do you want?”
“Is it fun to mess with me over and over again?”
“Have you forgotten what you said to me last night?”
