Chapter 703: Chapter 703: Can You Come Back to Me?

"I just really like you, that’s why I can’t help wanting to get close to you, to watch over you."

"Stop it, saying it out loud will only bring disgrace upon yourself."

Fang Fang suddenly covered her face, crying, and ran away.

Rong Shaoze’s eyes were undisturbed, his face cold, showing no emotion.

If Lin Xinlan were still by his side, he might have spared some face for the women who liked him.

But ever since she left, his heart had also grown cold and hard.

He had no patience for empty pleasantries with others, and he even forgot how to smile.

Rong Shaoze’s gaze transcended the floor-to-ceiling window, looking towards the distant horizon.

His eyes were desolate and barren.

Anyone who saw it would find it unbearable.

He softly called out in his heart.

Xinlan, where are you?

If you’re tired, can you come home? Can you come back to me?

Qiao Yiyang really did wait outside the door all night without leaving.

Early in the morning, Lin Xinlan opened the door and was startled to see two people squatting by the doorway.

"Xinlan..." When Qiao Yiyang saw her, he stood up with joy.

But he had squatted outside for too long, and when he stood up, his legs were numb and unfeeling. His tall body nearly fell over, but fortunately, Lu Xiaofan was there to steady him.

Lin Xinlan immediately grew cold and asked angrily, "Why are you still here? Didn’t I tell you to get lost? Why are you lingering at my door? Get lost, get far away from me!"

In the face of such unpleasant words, Qiao Yiyang didn’t mind at all; his face still wore a faint smile.

"Xinlan... I’ve been freezing outside all night, can you let me in to warm up?" he asked ingratiatingly.

But Lin Xinlan was not swayed by his act.

She scoffed coldly, "Qiao Yiyang, are you trying to play a martyr in front of me? Let me tell you, even if you freeze to death, I won’t blink an eye!"

Lu Xiaofan immediately grew angry.

She drew a dagger and in an instant pressed it against Lin Xinlan’s throat.

"What’s the point of talking nonsense with her! Just threaten her, and if she doesn’t let us in, kill her!"

Lin Xinlan faced the threat without fear, only sneering in mockery.

She was already a person about to die, what could she possibly fear from their threats?

Qiao Yiyang’s eyes darkened, he pulled Lu Xiaofan’s hand away and scolded her coldly, "Listen to me, never hurt her again, or don’t blame me for being rude to you!"

Lu Xiaofan bit her lip and, under Qiao Yiyang’s icy gaze, she reluctantly withdrew her dagger, hanging her head and responded, "I understand."

Lin Xinlan gave them a look but said nothing; she closed the door with a bang.

She decided not to go out and was curious to see how long Qiao Yiyang could persist.

Shengjue Building.

Three men sat in the president’s office on the top floor, discussing business matters.

Xu Yao leaned against the couch, arms crossed, his long legs resting on the glass table in front of him, and he spoke lightly about the recent situation.

"After we joined with the Qianyue Group to deal with the Mafia, we gave up all our power in North America. In just over a month, the Qianyue Group has developed rapidly there, and their power is now at its zenith. I’m afraid there’s no force now that can contend with them."

Tao Hua raised an eyebrow and asked with a smile, "Did we accidentally nurture a tiger that’s now a threat to us?"

He wasn’t blaming Rong Shaoze for ceding power in North America; he was simply stating a fact.

When the three of them were together, they always spoke very directly.
