You Are Brighter Than Stars

Chen Yue's meeting room —

Everyone lowered their heads, not daring to even breathe. A few of them even had beads of sweat on their foreheads.

Chu Lingyu coldly swept his eyes over everyone, unconsciously releasing some cold air.

"Chenyue didn't invite you here for free." Chu Lingyu let out a sentence as he let out a cold breath.

"Boss Chu, we've already done our best, the other party seemed to have come prepared, we …" Someone stood up and wanted to explain, but Chu Lingyu was so scared that he didn't dare to say a word.

He sat down timidly, trying his best to not let Chu Lingyu notice him.

"Mo Lan." Chu Lingyu suddenly called out to Mo Lan, her cold eyes narrowing as she said, "Organize the data, we'll have a meeting later."

He stood up, one hand in his trouser pocket.

"Last time, if you can't do it well, scram."

After Chu Lingyu left, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, as if they had just survived a disaster.

"What do you think is going on with this Chu Feng? Wasn't he fine yesterday morning?" Someone took the opportunity to wipe off his sweat and asked curiously.

Everyone had a wry smile on their faces. Who knew who was the one that provoked this living Hades and made them suffer?

On the other hand, Mo Lan didn't speak to them, only staring blankly at the door. From Chu Lingyu's eyes, he seemed to sense something.

At the office.

Chu Lingyu threw the documents onto the table, leaned back on the table and used his hands to cover his eyes, concealing the hostility in his eyes.

The moment he saw Xu Chencan calling for him in the morning, he felt a moment of happiness before it faded away in the blink of an eye.

He was afraid that he wouldn't be able to control himself and would imprison the person at home, only allowing himself to see them.

In the afternoon, when he once again received Xu Chencan's message, Chu Lingyu gave a self-deprecating smile and told everyone to stop watching.

As for him, he left the country in the afternoon, saying that he was going to negotiate an important cooperation.

Xu ChenCan returned home and looked at the empty house. She felt a bit disappointed.

"Chencan, what's wrong?" Aunt Ling walked over to her worriedly and asked with concern.

"I'm fine." Xu Chencan shook his head, looking somewhat depressed.

Seeing that she seemed to be in a bad mood, Aunt Ling mumbled to herself, "You youngsters are always acting on your own. Once you regret it, there will be no hope for you."

Xu Chencan opened his mouth, but did not know what to say.

Aunt Ling did not know about the deal between her and Chu Lingyu, so she was afraid that it was not a good reason.

"It's not like you don't know Ling Yu's character. He just went on a business trip, and there's nothing big going on." Xu Chencan feigned a relaxed smile, not wanting to let Aunt Ling worry about him.

Seeing that she didn't want to say anything more, Aunt Ling sighed helplessly. She didn't say anything more and just told her to go upstairs to rest. The meal was ready in a moment.

Late into the night, Xu Chencan was lying on his bed, looking at his phone.

Chu Lingyu did not send him a message, nor did she receive his call.

"Damn it!" Annoyed, Xu Chencan covered his head with a pillow and forced himself to stop thinking about that frivolous rake.

Perhaps hypnosis was really effective. Gradually, Xu Chencan fell asleep.

— —

For several days straight, there was no news of Chu Lingyu. It was as if he had disappeared from his life.

However, Aunt Ling's concern, as well as the driver who had been waiting outside everyday and the daily supplies, all meant that Chu Lingyu was here.

Finally, Xu Chencan could no longer take it anymore. With a pale face, she came down from the second floor and weakly called out, "Aunt Ling."

"When will Ling Yu return?"

She felt that she should properly talk to Chu Lingyu. She could no longer endure this kind of torture.

Seeing her pitiful appearance, Aunt Ling covered her mouth and laughed. She then put on a worried expression. "I don't know either. Since the owner hasn't said anything yet, we shouldn't ask too much, right?"

Seeing that she didn't know either, Xu Chencan lowered his head in disappointment, playing with his fingers.

That night, on the other side of the Earth, Chu Lingyu received the news. However, he only pursed his lips and didn't say anything.

Aunt Ling sighed and said disapprovingly, "If you do this, you'll only push the opponent further and further away."

Chu Lingyu only smiled and did not say any superfluous words.

From the very beginning, it was Xu Chencan who was resisting him.

Chu Lingyu turned off the video and took out her phone to look at Xu Chencan's photo. She sighed helplessly. She really did not know where to start with Xu Chencan.

Another week passed, and just when Xu Chencan thought that he would never appear again, Chu Lingyu appeared in the dining room, eating breakfast.

"Ling Yu." Xu Chencan walked over in surprise and called out to him.

Chu Lingyu raised his head and looked at her expressionlessly, "You're going to be late."

Xu Chencan was stunned. She looked back helplessly. Aunt Ling was not here. No one could help her.

"Then I'll go to work first." In the end, Xu Chencan was the one who calmed down. After speaking to Chu Lingyu in embarrassment, he immediately ran outside.

Just as she turned around, Chu Lingyu put down the tableware in her hands and called out to Aunt Ling.

After Aunt Ling understood, she brought out the already packaged breakfast and handed it to Xu Chencan with a smile.

Knowing that this was Chu Lingyu's intention, Xu Chencan turned around and glanced at him. Seeing him lower his head, Xu Chencan thanked him in a low voice.

After reaching his office, Xu Chencan rubbed his phone, seemingly hesitating over something.

"ChenCan." Xue Tianning appeared behind Xu Chencan at some point and couldn't help but let out a cry when he saw that she was staring at her phone.

"Dr. Shay?" Seeing that it was Xue Tianning, Xu Chencan stood up in panic, hiding his phone behind his back. He said with a slightly embarrassed expression, "Isn't Doctor Xue resting today?"

Xue Tianning smiled faintly and looked meaningfully at the hands behind her back. "Someone came to the hospital and the dean told me to come over."

"ChenCan, are you free tonight?" Seeing that she didn't seem interested in what he had said, Xue Tianning changed the topic. "Doctor Wei's birthday. Let's go together if we have time."

Xu Chencan was flabbergasted. Xue Tianning had always been cold towards such things, why would he attend the birthday party of a colleague that wasn't very good?

Xue Tianning pretended not to see Xu Chencan's doubt as he looked directly into Xu Chencan's eyes and said calmly, "I saw that you were in a bad mood a few days ago. You should have gone for a walk."

Receiving such an explanation, Xu Chencan subconsciously shook his head.

"ChenCan." The smile on Xue Tianning's face gradually faded as he grew serious. "Since you're already a member of the hospital, you should build a good relationship with your colleague. This will be beneficial to your future."

Upon hearing that it was related to his future, Xu Chencan hesitated. However, she still wanted to go back and improve their relationship.

Sensing her wavering, Xue Tianning continued, "Even if you're Lady Chu, the people here won't buy into your account. If you have the ability, then go and fight for it yourself."

His words gave Xu Chencan a heavy blow. She bit her lip, and after a moment of hesitation, she nodded her head.
