She felt more and more lost...


    He clearly knew that he was treating her well for the sake of Xiao Xi''s illness, but she was still lost in his gentleness.


    Now, she thought of him more and more frequently, and longed for him to be by her side more and more ??


    She was truly afraid that if she continued like this, she would be so muddle-headed that she would not be able to extricate herself.


    She had been trying to control her mind with her mind, but it had worked out to no avail. It was like how, at ten o''clock in the evening, when she should have avoided asking him about his whereabouts, she couldn''t help but want to call him and ask where he was and when he wasing back ??


    After hesitating and struggling for a long time, she finally couldn''t help but want to call him.


    However, just as she was about to pick up her cell phone, she heard the door handle twist.


    It was obviously him.


    Only he entered this room and never knocked.


    But she didn''t want him to see that she was going to call him, so she quickly put the phone away, jumped on the bed, and covered herself with a quilt, pretending to be asleep.


    In the next second, Dan Yan walked in.


    She was already familiar with his footsteps, so she could easily distinguish who it was.


    "You''re still awake, right? "My apologies, I returned sote ??"


    She wanted to continue pretending to be asleep, but he seemed to have seen through her that she was not asleep, so she slowly opened her eyes.


    Dan Yan took off his suit jacket, loosened his tie, and walked towards her.


    "Busy at thepany?" she asked casually.


    Dan Yan sat on the edge of the bed and ced both his hands on the sides of her body, looking at her with a pampering attitude. "Well, all the work from the other days has been piled up today."


    "Looks like you''re very tired ??" "Then I''ll help you put out the bath water. You take a shower and rest early!" She got up to get out of bed.


    Unexpectedly, Dan Yan suddenly hugged her from behind.


    As the two of them had been intimate many times, she was no longer used to it, but she would still feel shy, so she patted his arm around her waist. "Don''t make trouble ??"


    Dan Yan pulled her into his embrace, and buried his head into her neck. His scorching aura sprinkled onto the sensitive part of her neck as he said in a low and hoarse voice, "I''ll washter ??"


    "You ?? Aren''t you tired? " Her cheeks were burning.


    "Not tired."


    "..." "You have such good stamina." She remembered that he had left the ne and gone straight to thepany. He probably hadn''t rested yet.


    "Thank you for your praise, so I will perform well."


    "You ??"


    Before she could say anything, he had bent over her lips.


    Fortunately, Dan Yan sent her to thepany on the second day, so she was notte.


    But when she arrived at the office, Tan Yan was already there waiting for her.


    She was a bit embarrassed. "You''ve been here for a long time?"


    Tan Yan who was sitting on the office sofa calmly closed the financial magazine he was reading and looked over to her.


    "Looking at you, it seems like this trip has greatly improved your rtionship with Dan Yan."


    She went to the water dispenser and poured herself a ss of water. " Don''t make fun of me, you know... He and I are doing this for Xiao Xi. "


    Tan Yan said in a deep voice, "Since you are clear about this, then don''t sink deeper and deeper, you must always maintain your consciousness, understand?"


    "Yes." With that, she raised her cup to her lips and took a sip. For some reason, she felt a little guilty.


    However, Tan Yan seemed to see that she was being perfunctory and spoke with a serious tone: "I am doing this for your own good ?? If Dan Yan had already let you go, and already had someone he liked, if you fell into it, you would be hurt beyond recognition. You''ve already suffered so much, I really don''t want to see you suffer. "


    "Alright, as you said, I know all about it... I feel more and more that you are not like my friend, but like my mentor. " She was very clear that Tan Yan was right, but she could no longer control it.


    Tan Yan left the sofa and stood up. Then I won''t hold you up any longer... You must remember what I told you. "


    "Got it."


    After Tan Yan left, she thoughtfully sat down at the desk.


    Every time she chatted with Tan Yan, her mood would always be depressed ??


    Although she knew Tan Yan''s warning was correct, she still ?? She really didn''t want to ruin her beautiful life with Dan Yan. Even if she really suffered in the future, she didn''t want to think about it at this moment ?? She just wanted to be with him.


    However, the truth was that she did not listen to Tan Yan''s warning, which was wrong, because Dan Yan had really "peaceful co-existed" with her only because of Xiao Xi.


    Originally, she didn''t know about it, but that day, her birthday ??


    Na


    y and Aunt Qu felt that it had been a long time since there was a happy asion, so they decided to help her organize a birthday banquet. They invited Jiang Jun and his wife, Ya Ru and his wife, as well as Tan Yan and his wife, toe with their children ??


    Naturally, she didn''t want to host this birthday banquet, so she felt that it was a bit extravagant. Furthermore, she was never a birthday person, but her mother-inw had already decided to help her hold it. She could only ept it ??


    Hence, she prepared to wear the long skirt that she bought from the Madrid that day, which was also the one Dan Yan chose for her.


    However, the night before her birthday, when she was trying on clothes in front of the mirror, Dan Yan''s phone suddenly rang.


    At that time, Dan Yan was taking a bath, and the other party had continuously called several times. She was afraid that the other party would look for Dan Yan for something important, so she wanted to help him take the call.


    Coincidentally, the moment she picked up his phone, the other party had already hung up, and she saw that the person who called him was Ji Sixi.


    After exchanging numbers with Ji Sixi, she remembered Ji Sixi''s phone number.


    At that time, she was stu


    ed for a bit with her phone, but Ji Sixi had already sent a message to her.


    He probably never would have thought that she would hold Dan Yan''s phone, Ji Sixi''s message was nothing to worry about ?? ??


    Yan, tomorrow is my birthday, can youe and apany me?


    Ji Sixi did not say much, just these few words.


    At that time, she was stu


    ed that Ji Sixi and her birthday was the same day, and she was stu


    ed in ce for a long time. Only when the sound of the water stopped, did she regain her senses, and quickly put her phone back where she was, pretending that she didn''t see the message ??


    When Dan Yan came out of the bathroom, he did not notice anything amiss and continued his normal conversation with her.


    She had stared at him nkly at that moment. She already had a premonition that he would find a reason to leave her birthday banquet tomorrow ??


    But even though she thought this, her heart still trembled as she hoped that he wouldn''t leave ??


    However, it was still true that Dan Yan and Ji Sixi were male and female friends. Before Qingyou and the others came the next day, Dan Yan had already apologised to her that he had matters to attend to at hispany.


    She had forced a smile on her face, but her chest was sore. Only then did she realize that she was no longer the ''THEONE'' in his heart ??


    It''s impossible between them...


    If he still cared about her, he would never leave her and go find Ji Sixi ??
