My Exclusive Dream World Adventures
Chapter 210 - Chapter 210 210 Attack of Yang Jinxia

Chapter 210: 210 Attack of Yang Jinxia Chapter 210: 210 Attack of Yang Jinxia At 8:30 in the morning, Secretary Jin arrived at the office as usual, turned on the computer, and began to prepare for the day’s work.

At 9:00, two employees arrived on time, and she began assigning tasks to them.

The employees turned and left to start their work. A while later, Chen Xu arrived at the company and went straight into his office.

Secretary Jin brewed a cup of tea and followed him into the office, placing the cup in front of him. She noticed something off about his demeanor; he seemed anxious and restless, an emotion she had never seen on him before.

She couldn’t help but wonder, was his date last night unsuccessful?

Yesterday afternoon, Chen Xu had left the office early, his face unable to hide his joy, obviously going on a date.

These thoughts crossed her mind, but her face revealed nothing as she silently left the office.

Back at her own desk, she occasionally glanced back. Through the transparent glass walls, she could see Chen Xu sitting there, slightly lost in thought.

Before she realized it, it was ten o’clock. While she was typing on the keyboard, Secretary Jin suddenly heard some noise outside the door. Looking up, she saw two women walk in.

When she clearly saw the woman in the lead, her heart skipped a beat. After a closer look, indeed, it was her.

With the status of president of Jinxiu Investment and her remarkable appearance and aura, even having seen her only once, she would never forget.

But why was she here?

Rumors had it that she rarely went out and seldom met with outsiders. Only CEOs of previous companies were deemed worthy of meeting her.

Secretary Jin’s heart trembled, but her reaction was swift as she went to greet them, “Hello, may I ask who you are looking for?”

She wasn’t sure if it was her imagination, but she felt the woman’s gaze linger on her, as if observing her.

“I’m here to see Mr. Chen.”

The woman was very polite, so polite that it made Secretary Jin’s scalp tingle. She remembered that when her previous boss went to meet her, her attitude was cold and formal. After a brief exchange, she would serve tea as a signal for him to leave.

That was the CEO of a publicly-traded company.

Later, she learned that, although only the second-largest shareholder of the company, she had various cooperative relationships with the other major shareholders. If she wanted to replace the CEO, it would be easy for her to do so by allying with the other shareholders.

Thus, even her boss had to play the subservient part in front of this woman.

The problem was, the current boss was worlds apart from the previous one, and yet she was being so polite. It was enough to shock Secretary Jin.

Moreover, judging by her tone, she seemed quite familiar with Chen Xu.

“What, is he not here?”

In the midst of her distraction, Secretary Jin heard the woman ask and hurriedly responded, “Yes, he is. Please follow me.”

She turned and walked to the office, knocked on the door, opened it and said, “Mr. Chen, there’s an important guest looking for you.”

Chen Xu looked up and obviously paused for a moment.

“They really do know each other.”

Secretary Jin saw his reaction and knew she had guessed correctly. She wondered even more: How did her boss come to know such an influential figure?

Next, she saw Chen Xu’s expression become very strange–not one of ecstatic joy or overwhelmed surprise, but rather one of wariness and resistance.

Why such a reaction?

Secretary Jin was thoroughly confused.

“You can step out,” Chen Xu said to her.

Secretary Jin turned and left, closing the door gently behind her, giving a polite nod to the woman who still stood outside.

Chen Xu didn’t know how to treat Yang Jinxia. After all, they had shared the most intimate relationship, and even though they were separated, he really couldn’t treat her like an enemy.

But now he had a new girlfriend and should be wary; being too enthusiastic wouldn’t be appropriate either. In the end, he spoke with a cold tone, “What are you doing here?”

Yang Jinxia stood in front of him and said, “I want to ask you for a favor.”

Hearing this, Chen Xu felt a tremor in his heart; she had never used the word ‘ask’ in front of him. It was then that he noticed she was dressed in a black gauze dress, with no makeup on, her face pale, which made her look somewhat haggard.

He wanted to ask what she needed, but the words reached his throat and he swallowed them back.

He knew he couldn’t agree, or else there would be endless trouble.

After a while, seeing he didn’t say anything, Yang Jinxia continued, “I know you’ve always blamed me. I don’t dare to hope for your forgiveness.”

At that point, Chen Xu couldn’t help but say, “If that’s the case, why come looking for me? You go your way, I’ll go mine, and we won’t bother each other. Isn’t that good?”

“The doctor said that my grandma doesn’t have much time left.”

Hearing this, Chen Xu felt a jolt in his heart, looked up to see her sorrowful expression, and saw that she appeared fragile and helpless, “She’s the only family I have…”

Chen Xu let out a long sigh and said, “I’m sorry.”

“All along, her greatest wish was to see me happy. Now that she has her last breath left, I thought to let her see you one last time before she goes.”

Chen Xu slowly but firmly shook his head, “We’re no longer in that kind of relationship.”

Yang Jinxia looked upset, “Why are you so heartless towards me?”

“Because you lied to me. In fact, you’ve always remembered the things from the dream, haven’t you?”

Yang Jinxia was slightly taken aback, looked at him, and her sadness gradually faded from her face, slowly saying, “Of course, I remember. You were so severely injured, close to death. To save your life, I took down S01, and 2003 died as well. I obtained the highest authority of the shelter, and I placed you in the cryogenic device.”

Chen Xu was startled; he hadn’t expected her to bring up events from the dream. He had wondered how she had managed it; S01 would never allow her to take someone out of the cryogenic device, let alone put him back in.

“Is it strange how I did it? It’s actually not complicated. I secretly made a high-powered electromagnetic pulse gun, always carried by 2003. In that urgent situation, I had 2003 fire the gun; their chips burned out simultaneously.”

Chen Xu thought of that somewhat chatty robot, feeling a twinge of sadness in his heart, realizing it had died for him.

“Afterward, I stayed with you, floating in the cryogenic device, day after day. Eventually, the whole shelter was just me. At first, I was afraid. I would talk to you while eating and watch you as I slept. I spoke to you every day, and gradually, I wasn’t afraid anymore. Because I knew you would always be with me.”

“On the one hundred and eighteenth day, everything suddenly went dark, and then I woke up. Initially, I thought it had been a dream until I accidentally heard about a noodle shop called ‘2003.’ I sent someone to get a bowl to-go, tasted it, and it was exactly like the one you made in the dream. At that moment, I knew that everything in the dream had really happened.”
