Chapter 677 - 664
"Guanshen, is the conference about to start?"
Helian Si squinted his eyes and looked at Ou Guanshen.
Ou Guanshen was taken aback, unsure of what his master was up to, but he quickly responded, "Yes!"
"Then let’s go." Helian Si gently pulled Qin Mengshu aside, "You go back to the room first, I have official business to attend to."
"...Okay." Qin Mengshu was somewhat reluctant, but she knew she couldn’t be willful at a time like this. She nodded, stood on her tiptoes, wrapped her arms around Helian Si’s neck, and pecked him on the cheek. "When you’re done, come back early. I’ll wait for you."
Helian Si was taken aback, his entire body and even his expression turned stiff. He hadn’t expected Qin Mengshu to be so bold!
"Secretary-General Ou..." Yu Sangwan happened to turn around and saw the scene, her speech becoming awkward. "Um, I... wanted to ask you something, but never mind, I’ll just call you!"
With that, she quickly lowered her head and hurried forward.
"Guanshen, let’s go!"
Helian Si flung his hands, parted his coat, and walked forward, directly pursuing Yu Sangwan.
"Hey, Si..." Qin Mengshu bit her lower lip. What was the deal with this Yu Sangwan? It seemed like she had some sort of entanglement with Helian Si?
Helian Si chased after Yu Sangwan and intercepted her at the registration desk. Yu Sangwan was quick, having already obtained her room card, and was heading in the opposite direction with her luggage. Her room was separated from Helian Si’s, not even in the same building.
As Yu Sangwan walked along the path, she suddenly felt her hand lighten.
Startled, she looked up to see Helian Si’s furious face.
"..." Yu Sangwan was puzzled, wondering what was going on with him?
Yu Sangwan exerted force, trying to retrieve her suitcase.
"Let go," Helian Si said in a deep voice, "I can’t carry it? But Le Zhengsheng can?"
Yu Sangwan had been holding it in for a while, and at this moment, she couldn’t anymore. "Mr. President, what is it about me that displeases you? Why have you been picking on me since earlier? Today isn’t even a public event. If you don’t want to see me, I can just leave!"
As she spoke, she truly made a move to leave.
"Come back!"
Helian Si restrained her wrist, pulling her into his embrace with a long arm.
"..." Yu Sangwan’s head collided with his shoulder, leaving her a bit dazed... What was happening?
"Naughty girl!" Helian Si chided softly in her ear, "What are you angry about? So you think you’re in the right now?"
"..." Yu Sangwan was utterly speechless, what was going on?
"Tell me, do you also like me?" Helian Si lowered his head, lifting her chin with one hand.
"..." Yu Sangwan was shocked. Helian Si’s thought process was undoubtedly different from the average person’s!
Suddenly, she thought of something. "Mr. President, are you left-handed?"
"Hmm?" Helian Si raised an eyebrow, puzzled, "Yes... how did you know?"
Then he added, "I was born this way, but... I can also write, eat, and handle a gun with my right hand... both my hands are the same, but to be precise, my left hand is more flexible, which is what people usually call left-handed."
"Ah!"
Yu Sangwan covered her mouth in shock. He... he overlapped with Jinxuan again!
This thought made her hair stand on end! It seemed like she was a step closer to the truth. Could Helian Si really be Jinxuan? But if he was, why wouldn’t he acknowledge her?
"Mr. President." Yu Sangwan opened her mouth slightly, her eyes a bit moist, "Have we met before?"
Helian Si raised an eyebrow and was silent for a moment.
Then he smiled, "Are you trying to tell me we felt an instant connection at first sight?"
"..." Yu Sangwan froze. That wasn’t right! If he was Jinxuan, how could he not recognize her? Was it genuine denial, or was it deliberate?
Helian Si’s gaze softened significantly, gently caressing her cheek, "Do you know why I let go? Because you weren’t willing... If only you were willing, I wouldn’t want anyone else! I don’t care what others think! As long as you don’t care, no one can stop us from being together!"
"Why?" Yu Sangwan blinked.
"Hmm?" Helian Si didn’t understand, "What?"
"Why do you like me?" Yu Sangwan looked at him in a daze.
Helian Si was slightly embarrassed, "I don’t know either, I’ve never liked anyone before, you... are the first."
He thought for a moment and added, "I really, really like you. You’re my nephew’s wife, but is that your fault or mine? Jinxuan is no longer here, you can’t remain alone for a lifetime, so why can’t that person be me?"
Jinxuan... Yu Sangwan’s lips moved, her mind overwhelmed with information.
This person in front of her, was he Jinxuan?
"I..." Yu Sangwan didn’t know how to respond. She still needed confirmation, so she couldn’t just reject him like that. But agreeing now wasn’t possible either—she wanted to say yes to Jinxuan, not Helian Si!
"Sigh."
Seeing her not answering for a long time, Helian Si picked up her luggage and walked forward, "Let’s go! I’ll help you take your luggage to your room."
"..." Yu Sangwan was surprised, "Mr. President, that’s not appropriate."
Helian Si smiled, "What’s inappropriate about it? Right now, at this moment, I’m not a president, I’m just a... regular man pursuing the woman he loves. I also want to take care of you, protect you, and be recognized by you."
Yu Sangwan lowered her head, her heart racing.
If this person were Jinxuan, then it would be wonderful... At least all these years, no matter how he had changed, his feelings for her had never wavered.
At this moment, Helian Si, like an ordinary man, carried Yu Sangwan’s luggage and escorted her to her room.
Helian Si surveyed the environment, "The room’s the same, just too far... I’ll change your room in a bit so it’s more convenient to be next to mine."
"..." Yu Sangwan was somewhat bashful, at a loss for words.
"With you like this, I feel assured." Helian Si’s voice carried joy, "I’ll give you time, and I hope by the end of these few days, you’ll give me a clear answer... You know, if we’re to be together, there’s a lot we need to deal with."
Yu Sangwan kept her head down, not daring to look at him.
Helian Si cupped her face, lowered his head, and kissed her lips.
"Mmm..." Yu Sangwan softly moaned, her body stiff, neither daring to reciprocate nor to resist.
Feeling her body trembling, Helian Si held her, lowering his head, "No need to be afraid, as long as you’re by my side."
...
The day’s schedule was indeed quite full, and the conference genuinely needed to take place.
It wasn’t until the evening that there was some free time. In the evening’s event, Helian Si left the conference venue and headed directly to the banquet hall.
Ou Guanshen was holding a change of clothes, and as soon as Yu Sangwan saw it, she immediately took it, "Secretary-General Ou, let me take it in..."
"Alright." Ou Guanshen smiled, "Some things, you’re more suitable for it... Every time I tie the President’s tie, I always feel it’s a bit odd as a grown man."
