Song Nanqiao entered the room and closed the door behind her.
“What’s wrong?” Wen Wenyao asked.
“There’s a confidential dinner party tomorrow night. I heard that the CEOs of major companies are coming, and we’ve been invited too. Do you want to go?” Liu Xuwen held the invitation, feeling that it was a bit sudden. There hadn’t been anything special happening recently, so he was puzzled as to why so many CEOs would gather together.
“Is Wen Guangquan attending?”
“No, that’s the strangest part. Usually, he’s invited to these business events. I had the intelligence agency look into it, and surprisingly, Wen Guangquan’s name isn’t on the guest list.”
As Liu Xuwen spoke, Song Nanqiao fell into deep thought.
“Do you know the details of this business meeting?”
“The intelligence agency’s findings suggest that it’s to create a united business association.”
“Find out what Wen Guangquan has been up to recently. Once you have the information, call me back, and don’t confirm our attendance at the gathering for now.”
“Alright.”
Song Nanqiao hung up the phone.
With a pen in her right hand, she began to tap the table slowly.
Creating a united business association under Wen Guangquan’s nose? That was like conspiring against the host, and it was not a wise decision.
The CEOs of major companies had been worn down by Wen Guangquan over the years, so why would they suddenly decide to unite now?
Song Nanqiao speculated that Wen Guangquan must have done something that harmed their interests and made them unable to tolerate it, prompting them to make this decision.
Or perhaps someone was trying to sow discord and overthrow Wen Guangquan.
When she heard that there was no more talking in the room, Wen Wenyao knocked on the door.
“Can I come in?”
“Sure.”
Song Nanqiao snapped out of her thoughts, walked to the door, and opened it.
“What’s wrong?”
“Why was that call so long?”
Wen Wenyao tugged at Song Nanqiao’s clothes, looking a bit aggrieved. When Song Nanqiao called her, they had never talked for so long. Standing at the door, Wen Wenyao had heard a little and originally thought it was about work, but she seemed to have heard the words “gathering” and “dinner.”
“Don’t overthink it. We were discussing some important work matters.”
“Yeah, I’m fine with it…”
Although she might feel a little sad deep down, Wen Wenyao always prioritized Song Nanqiao’s matters above everything else.
“Feeling uneasy?”
Even though Song Nanqiao said this, she still sensed something was off. She knew that Wen Wenyao was a girl with extremely low self-esteem who tended to overthink and be overly concerned about her.
“Yeah… Am I bothering you?”
Wen Wenyao timidly raised her head. She didn’t deny it but instead grabbed Song Nanqiao’s sleeve, trying to alleviate her inner anxiety.
Before Song Nanqiao could respond, Wen Wenyao continued, “Nanqiao… I seem to be unable to control my possessiveness. Whenever anyone close to you interacts with you intimately, I feel jealous and uneasy. I lack self-confidence, always wanting you to stay by my side. I know it’s not right; even in a close relationship, we should give each other space…”
She was afraid that Song Nanqiao would resent this kind of restraint and that Song Nanqiao would want to avoid her possessiveness. This was her greatest fear.
During this period, she had read many books about strengthening the bonds between couples, and they all clearly stated that one should not display excessive possessiveness, as it could create psychological pressure on the other person. Over time, it could drive the lover further away…
Reading these words and phrases, Wen Wenyao was genuinely scared because she knew she was that kind of person.
“Do you hate me…” When she said these words, Wen Wenyao’s voice began to quiver slightly.
“Wen Wenyao!” Song Nanqiao held her girlfriend’s shoulders, making her face her.
When Wen Wenyao’s tearful eyes met hers, Song Nanqiao spoke again.
“I’ve never disliked your possessiveness. On the contrary, it makes me feel very secure. You’re the person I love, no matter how you are, I will accept all of you. Moreover, you’re my girlfriend; you can do things like check up on me if you want.”
Song Nanqiao handed her phone over. Besides Liu Xuwen, there was nothing she needed to hide. Even if she had to tell Wen Wenyao, it wouldn’t be a big deal.
Wen Wenyao took Song Nanqiao’s phone. The password was her own birthday. She opened it and saw a series of call records.
“Who is Liu Xuwen? Can you tell me?” Wen Wenyao looked at the names in the contacts list. This person seemed to call Song Nanqiao more frequently than she did.
“He’s the chairman of another company in my group. We’ve been busy with a startup project recently.”
“Yeah… I trust you; it’s just a bit unsettling.” Wen Wenyao had already softened and leaned into Song Nanqiao’s embrace.
She knew that Song Nanqiao would not lie to her, but she couldn’t help but feel jealous.
Song Nanqiao entered the room and closed the door behind her.
