Chapter 26: Catching Her

After the host’s opening remarks, applause welcomed the star of the show.

“Next, let’s invite Shen Yuchu, Director of Product Sales at Emergency Star Group, to give us a detailed product introduction.”

Clap clap—

Clap clap clap—

Many people applauded their welcome, and Shen Yuchu, naturally, walked out confidently amidst the applause, without any shyness or hesitation.

When Lin Xuan heard the three words “Shen Yuchu,” his dark eyes began to gleam strangely.

Now, seeing her in a red dress with a high slit and off-the-shoulder design, her fair swan neck adorned with a sparkling diamond necklace…

His brain ignited, his temper flaring.

It’s her!

It’s her!

It’s really her!

Who allowed her to dress like this?

Lin Xuan now found the surrounding applause particularly irritating. Why wasn’t there such prolonged applause when others appeared?

Yet, her appearance elicited this lengthy applause, grating on his ears.

Shen Yuchu began to speak in Mandarin: “Good afternoon, everyone, welcome to…”

Then, she smoothly switched to English: “Ladies and gentlemen…”

Lin Xuan frowned, completely stunned. When did Shen Yuchu become so fluent in English?

This is impossible. She wasn’t like this before. Didn’t she—graduate from kindergarten?

Impossible?

Unscientific?

After her speech, Shen Yuchu skillfully used a projector to introduce the product and its features.

She even specifically used English for labeling and explanations.

After her presentation, it was time for the main event—the foreign client’s signing ceremony.

Shen Yuchu understood that the higher-ups arranged for the foreigner to sign at the end, publicly, to promote their company’s products and boost their popularity.

However, when Lin Xuan saw the foreign man holding Shen Yuchu’s hand for an extended period after their conversation,

Jealousy surged within him, his eyes trembling.

His hand went into his pocket.

Snap—

He snapped the pen in his pocket in two with his bare hands.

Since he was sitting in the front row, he used his professional training to flick the broken pen towards the foreigner’s wrist.

Click—

The flick was precise and forceful.

The foreigner, completely inappropriately, let out a yelp, “Ow!”

After another cry, he clutched his right hand—the hand that had been holding Shen Yuchu’s.

His face contorted in pain.

Shen Yuchu was puzzled, “What’s the matter?”

She asked with concern, what had happened?

The foreigner realized he’d held her hand too long, perhaps, he thought, God intervened and caused his wrist pain.

So, he politely said: “I’m excited to chat with such a beautiful lady!”

Shen Yuchu was surprised at first. But she was smart; since he signed the contract,

She wouldn’t foolishly pursue the matter further. After all, they were adults, and everyone has their pride!

Especially in this setting.

So, she didn’t ask further.

After the event, some reporters interviewed Shen Yuchu about the product.

Shen Yuchu answered each question, but some reporters strayed from the product.

They asked personal questions.

For example, a reporter directly asked: “Director Shen, you’re so young and beautiful, you must have many suitors. What’s your ideal prince charming like? Or, what are your criteria for choosing a partner?”

Although Lin Xuan couldn’t rush to her like the reporters, when he heard someone ask her this question,

His ears perked up, afraid to miss a single detail.

Shen Yuchu gave a very official answer: “I’m sorry, I haven’t considered this. Besides, it’s irrelevant to the product launch, so I decline to answer!”

Assistant Xiao Wang quickly stepped in, “Sorry everyone, the interview time is up. Please ask your questions next time.”

Then, Shen Yuchu left under the escort of her assistant and bodyguards.

Lin Xuan frowned, his thin lips slightly parted, silent for a long time.

The deputy instructor who came with Lin Xuan, along with Captain Wang and several guards, looked at Lin Xuan.

After all, when Lin Xuan showed them the photo, Captain Wang had already spread the word.

If their Major Lin was looking for someone, why hide it? There’s no such thing as secrecy!

Captain Wang cautiously approached Lin Xuan, “Captain, is that… your wife?”

The deputy instructor closed his notebook, “The names are the same, and they work for the same group with equivalent positions. Further investigation is needed for verification.”

He was a staff officer, so he spoke formally.

However, Lin Xuan stood up abruptly, “You guys go back. I’ll go find her!”

Seeing Lin Xuan leave for the backstage, the deputy instructor said to Captain Wang: “You, Xiao Zhang, and Xiao Li stay to protect him, don’t let anything happen to him. I’ll go back with them. Remember, return to the base on time, no accidents!”

“Yes!”

With his sharper perception and keen observation skills, Lin Xuan caught Shen Yuchu at a corner.

“Ah~” Shen Yuchu was stopped by a figure in the special passage to the underground parking lot, nearly screaming in fright.

Then, her wrist was grabbed.

After her initial shock, Shen Yuchu fell silent upon recognizing the person.

Lin Xuan held her wrist, forcing her to meet his gaze, “Who are you?”

Shen Yuchu was stunned by these three words.

He grabbed her wrist and asked: Who is she?

Is he crazy?

Shen Yuchu tried to shake her wrist.

No luck!

She looked up at Lin Xuan, just a glance.

Lin Xuan’s grip slightly loosened, his fierce expression softening.

“Lin Xuan, you’re hurting me~” Her red lips parted slightly, her watery eyes sparkling.

Shen Yuchu’s usual tactics began: “It hurts, it’s red~” Her tone was soft, gentle, with a hint of a sob, soft and sweet.

Lin Xuan’s handsome face inexplicably flushed, and he slowly released her wrist.
