Jiang Xiyan's eyes were firm and his tone was sincere as he said, "Of course. We understand the importance of mutual benefit. We will work together to find a win-win solution that meets the needs of both sides." He was wearing a neat dark suit, his tie was tied meticulously at the collar, and his slightly raised chin revealed confidence and decisiveness.

The foreign boss smiled with satisfaction and said, "Okay. I look forward to working with you." The boss was tall, with silver hair neatly combed back his head, and his eyes were deep and wise.

Jiang Xiyan stretched out his hand, shook the foreign boss's hand vigorously, and said, "I'm looking forward to it too."

At this time, they sat in the spacious, bright and luxuriously decorated private room. The light in the private room was soft and warm, and the exquisite decorative paintings on the wall were more artistic under the light. Outside the window, the city lights were brilliant and twinkling like stars, forming a sharp contrast with the tranquility and luxury in the private room. A long and in-depth conversation began. Time passed by, the topic kept changing, the atmosphere was sometimes tense, sometimes relaxed, but always full of a subtle atmosphere.

Finally, after several hours of discussion and adjustment, the deal was successfully concluded. Everyone had a satisfied smile on their face, as if the huge stone weighing on their hearts had disappeared in an instant.

After the social event, Jiang Xiyan successfully reached a preliminary cooperation intention with those business tycoons from foreign countries.

Both parties stood up, extended their hands to each other in a friendly manner, and shook hands tightly, expressing their expectations and confidence in this cooperation. These foreign bigwigs not only praised Jiang Xiyan's professional ability, but also expressed their sincere gratitude to Shen Jingyan who came with them. They praised one after another: "Ms. Shen, your appearance really adds a lot of joy to our meeting this time!" Shen Jingyan was wearing a simple white dress, with long hair falling on her shoulders like a waterfall, and her delicate facial features were even more moving under the soft light.

Shen Jingyan responded to everyone's compliments with a polite smile, and then quietly walked out of the private room. As soon as she walked out, she breathed a sigh of relief. The corridor was dimly lit and silent. She turned to Jiang Xiyan who was following closely behind her and said, "It's finally over, Jiang Xiyan, you promised me that this is definitely the last time!" There was a hint of fatigue and determination in her tone. There was a little helplessness in her eyes, and her slightly frowned brows showed her dissatisfaction.

Jiang Xiyan nodded quickly, his face full of apology and gratitude. He looked at Shen Jingyan sincerely and said softly: "Jingyan, thank you very much for coming with me today. Without your help, I'm afraid this negotiation would not be so smooth. You really helped me a lot." Jiang Xiyan's eyes were full of sincerity, and his eyebrows revealed his gratitude to Shen Jingyan.

However, Shen Jingyan did not say anything more, but just pursed her lips slightly, then turned around silently and walked towards the hotel gate with light steps. The hotel lobby was brightly lit and people were coming and going. Jiang Xiyan looked at her back as she walked away, and a complex emotion surged in his heart.

He was like a silent shadow, slowly following Shen Jingyan's graceful figure, deliberately keeping a distance that was neither too far nor too close, so as not to appear too intimate, while ensuring that she was always within his sight.

The two of them walked quietly like this, as if the only sound in the world was their footsteps. First, they walked through the brightly lit, busy hotel lobby, and then stepped into the slightly dim and deserted garage together. Along the way, Jiang Xiyan's eyes were always firmly fixed on Shen Jingyan, especially when he saw that cold and beautiful face, he couldn't help but feel a pain in his heart, as if he was being tightly grasped by an invisible hand. The garage was dimly lit, the cars were parked quietly, and there was a faint smell of motor oil.

The city at night is like a bright pearl, exuding endless prosperity and noise. The neon lights shine brightly, flashing colorful lights; the streets are crowded with cars and people, forming a lively scene. Jiang Xiyan drives his car, speeding through the empty road, as if he wants to escape from this dazzling hustle and bustle.

Finally, the car arrived at the destination - the cage-like luxurious villa. The villa was surrounded by trees and looked particularly quiet in the night. Shen Jingyan got out of the car without saying a word and walked straight to the gate, leaving Jiang Xiyan with only a cold and ruthless back. Looking at the figure walking away, Jiang Xiyan couldn't help but feel an indescribable sadness in his heart.

After settling Shen Jingyan down, Jiang Xiyan dragged his heavy steps back to his room. After a simple wash, he collapsed on the bed as if he had lost all his strength, staring at the ceiling with lifeless eyes. Shen Jingyan's cold expression and resolute back kept appearing in his mind, and he couldn't fall asleep for a long time...

The next day, sunlight poured into Jiang Xiyan's company through the huge French windows, casting bright spots of light on the smooth floor. The company was busy, with people coming and going and phone calls ringing one after another. Jiang Xiyan walked to the company with steady steps, and when he opened the door of the office, he saw Xia Qingcheng sitting there quietly.

"Why are you here!" Jiang Xiyan frowned slightly, and a trace of surprise and dissatisfaction flashed in his deep eyes. His voice also rose a few notes unconsciously. His originally steady and powerful steps suddenly stopped as if he was suddenly cast a spell. He was a little overwhelmed by this sudden scene, as if the rhythm of the carefully choreographed life movement was disrupted at this moment. Jiang Xiyan was wearing a dark business suit, his hair was neatly combed back, and his eyes revealed majesty.

Hearing Jiang Xiyan's question, she looked up at him, her eyes filled with endless resentment. Her hands were tightly clenched together, and her joints were white due to too much force. She was still trembling slightly, as if only in this way could she barely suppress the surging emotions in her heart. The office was brightly lit, but filled with a tense atmosphere. Xia Qingcheng sat quietly in a wheelchair, wearing a light blue dress. Her face was delicate, but her eyes were full of sadness.

"I'm your wife, why can't I show up in your office?" Xia Qingcheng sat quietly in a wheelchair, her exquisite and beautiful face covered with a thick layer of sadness.

Jiang Xiyan looked at Xia Qingcheng with indifference. The morning sunlight shone in from the window, casting a cold shadow on his well-defined face, making him look even more unkind. "Xia Qingcheng, this marriage was obviously something you begged for, not something I begged for!" He opened his thin lips and uttered this coldly. His voice was as cold as the breeze blowing outside the window, without any warmth at all.

"Why can you be so cold and heartless?" Xia Qingcheng looked at the familiar yet strange man in front of her, and finally couldn't help but burst into tears. They were like pearls that had broken off the string, sliding down her fair cheeks one by one. Her frail body began to tremble uncontrollably, as if a gust of wind could blow her down. She looked so helpless and sad. At this moment, a small and delicate bird hurriedly flew past the window, leaving only a lonely figure. The sky outside the office was blue, with white clouds floating, forming a sharp contrast with the tense atmosphere inside. Xia Qingcheng's eyes were red and swollen, her face was pale, and her lips were trembling slightly.

"I am cold-blooded and heartless?" Jiang Xiyan's face instantly showed an extremely angry look after hearing this, but then he sneered. He took a big step and walked straight towards the office. After entering the office, he sat down on the luxurious office chair, and then stared directly at Xia Qingcheng, who was indifferent opposite him, without flinching. Jiang Xiyan's brows were tightly knitted, and his eyes were burning with anger.

Jiang Xiyan seemed to be ignited at this moment, with rage burning in his eyes. He took a step forward, approached Xia Qingcheng, and said in a tone full of accusation and resentment: "When you used all means to force me to get married, you should have foreseen that this situation would happen today!"

On the other side, Xia Qingcheng watched Jiang Xiyan, who was sitting in an office chair, flipping through the documents on the table carelessly. Facing Jiang Xiyan's rebuke, she could no longer suppress her inner grievance and unwillingness, so she shouted back: "I did that because I love you deeply! Over the years, my love for you has never diminished in the slightest. Don't you really see all the efforts I have made?" Xia Qingcheng's voice trembled, tears welled up in her eyes.

However, Jiang Xiyan just frowned slightly and responded impatiently: "Humph, your so-called love really makes me feel extremely suffocated. Your shady means not only failed to win my heart, but only made me hate you more!"

After hearing this, Xia Qingcheng's face turned as pale as paper in an instant. She bit her lips tightly, trying to hold back the tears that were about to burst out, and asked with a trembling voice: "If that's the case, then you only have Shen Jingyan in your heart, right? What's so good about her that you treat me like this?" Xia Qingcheng's body trembled slightly, and her eyes were full of pain and despair.

"You will never understand her kindness." Jiang Xiyan's eyes, which were originally as cold as ice, instantly became soft and gentle when he mentioned Shen Jingyan's name, like the melting snow in spring, flowing with strands of warmth. His voice also became softer involuntarily, like a breeze blowing across the lake, with an indescribable tenderness.

"You've gone too far!" Xia Qingcheng's body trembled, her beautiful face flushed with anger, tears flashed in her beautiful eyes, like two crystal clear gems. She glared at the man in front of her, her heart full of grievance and unwillingness, "I am your wife, how dare you think about another woman so unscrupulously in front of me!"

Jiang Xiyan seemed to have not heard her words at all, and threw the document in his hand aside fiercely, making a crisp sound of "pa". Then, he looked at Xia Qingcheng with extremely cold eyes, and his eyes were like a cold knife, piercing straight into her heart, as if to freeze her completely. He just sat quietly in the office chair, but exuded a cold breath that made people unable to approach.

Jiang Xiyan frowned slightly, his eyes casually falling on the pile of documents on the desk, as if these documents were much more important than the heartbroken wife in front of him.

"There is no emotional foundation between us." Jiang Xiyan's voice was still as cold as water, without any ripples. "From the very beginning, this marriage was a transaction. So, stop looking so pitiful. Who are you doing this for?" After saying that, he no longer paid attention to Xia Qingcheng, lowered his head and began to look through the documents, as if she no longer existed in this room.
