right now." He paused, and continued, "Ningning, give me five years. If after five years, you haven't fallen in love with me, I'll let you go...."A man's warm breath blew against the young man's skin....The man lowered his gaze, his deep eyes looking over, and said, "I'm sorry about what happened last night. Although I know this will make you feel sick, coming to apologize in person is what I should do."

Shen Mingxuan's attitude was neither humble nor arrogant, but his noble and elegant demeanor gave one a feeling of good upbringing.

...with a touch of coldness and detachment.

For someone of his stature, to be so sincere is already commendable. Ning Shu couldn't help but recall the scene last night. If it had been someone else without grace, they would have likely blamed him for intentionally seducing her instead.

Although there was still some awkwardness, Ning Shu didn't mind it that much anymore. He quickly shook his head and said, "Mr. Shen, you don't have to take it to heart. It was just an accident."

The man didn't speak, he just passed her a business card.

Ning Shu took it over a little dazedly.

The other party looked at him and said, "If you have anything in the future, just come to me."

Ning Shu was taken aback for a moment.

Then it dawned on him that Shen Mingxuan probably felt indebted to him, so he was indirectly expressing his attitude in this way.

This kind of favor is not so easy to ask for. It might seem like an impossible request to anyone else, to have the president of Shen Shi Company lend a hand.

But Ning Shu felt strangely in her heart.

As if he could see through his thoughts, the man before him spoke in a low voice, “You don’t have to think of this as compensation. Just consider it my care for a junior.”

Shen Mingxuan said faintly, "If uncle feels uncomfortable about anything, it's okay."

When the man said this, Ning Shu naturally chose to accept it. She shook her head and quickly replied, "No, Mr. Shen."

"That's good enough." A hint of a smile appeared in Shen Mingxuan's eyes.

Until the car drove away, Ning Shu still stood there, frozen in place.

He couldn't help but raise his hand and touch the place where the other person had touched him just now.

Mr. Shen, aren't you being too nice to him

Ning Shu couldn't help but think.

But he also felt it was because of last night.

As soon as Ning An returned home, he stopped him, glaring at him with anger in his eyes: “What happened between you and Mr. Shen”

Ning Shu glanced at him: "If you want to know, you can ask Mr. Shen yourself."

"You..."

Ning An was extremely jealous. He could see that Shen Mingxuan seemed to have some admiration for his older brother, but his attitude towards him was very ordinary.

"Little book."

Ning's father interrupted their conversation, frowning and saying, "How do you speak to your younger brother Don't you know that An'an admires Mr. Shen the most"

He said in a commanding tone, "Since Mr. Shen thinks highly of you, you should also mention An An to him more often, understand"

Ning An crossed her arms and sneered, "I wouldn't want him to speak on my behalf in front of Mr. Shen. I want to show him what I'm capable of myself."

Ning Shu looked at the two men who seemed like father and son, and said, "Mr. Shen is just thanking me, you're overthinking it."

Ning An said: "Mr. Shen is well-educated, it's only right to visit and express gratitude. If my brother understands manners, he shouldn't disturb Mr. Shen because of this."

Ning Fu listened and felt that there was some truth to it. What could a child possibly do Even if they were able to help, it wouldn't be much. If they upset Shen Mingxuan, then that would just cause trouble.

He then said, "Your younger brother is right. Don't take it upon yourself to act impolitely just because you helped Mr. Shen."

Ning Shu returned to her room.

Looking at the silver card, he lay in bed, a little hesitant.

If he doesn't contact Shen Mingxuan, the mission won't progress.

But got in touch.

No matter how I look at it, it feels like I took advantage of that night's events...

Ning Shu couldn't help but sigh.

Still no contact.

"I heard someone's coming to give a speech at our school today." As soon as I walked into class, people started talking about it.

"Know who it is"

"He is Mr. Shen from the Shen Corporation,"

The girls collectively gasped softly: "Is that Mr. Shen"

"My God!"

As a big shot who could change the color of the sky in the mall just by stomping his foot, even if people didn't understand him, they wouldn't have heard of Shen Mingxuan's name.

"How could that person come to our school"

“Don't you know Mr. Shen studied here for a year in high school before transferring to another school,” someone explained. “So, our school can be considered one of Mr. Shen’s alma maters.”

The girls' voices were a little excited, after all, Shen Mingxuan was a diamond king laowu, and he was very handsome.

There must be some longing in one's heart.

Ning Shu, listening to these words, only then thought of the fact that the female lead was also at this school. So, Shen Mingxuan's return to his alma mater this time was estimated to be their first encounter.

From the moment she received that business card, Ning Shu had been on the fence about calling the person.

Hesitating, it hasn't been sent yet.

Ning Shu was a little dazed. By the time the male and female leads met, it would probably be time for their romantic plot to unfold. Then, Shen Mingxuan would have even less time to spare him.

Could he really wait until he graduates from university to try hard to get a job at Shen's company

Ning Shu doesn't know.

It wasn't long before Shen Mingxuan's return to his alma mater arrived. The school had made extensive preparations for this momentous day. School leaders were determined to ensure everything went smoothly and prohibited several activities to prevent any mishap.

On this day, all the students in the whole school dressed neatly and behaved themselves.

The moment the man appeared, soft gasps rippled through the audience of women.

Ning Shu couldn't help but look up, and saw a man in a suit. His facial features were three-dimensional and profound, with broad shoulders and a narrow waist, standing over 1.85 meters tall. He had thin lips, a high nose bridge, and was strikingly handsome.

He was stunned for a moment, and he also understood the reason why these girls were so obsessed with him.

After all, a man like Shen Mingxuan is truly exceptional.

The man took the microphone, his voice low and pleasant. He exuded an air of cool elegance, with a hint of alluring sophistication.

Ning Shu could even hear the girl next to her talking.

"Damn! Mr. Shen is so handsome!"

He's so handsome and rich. At first glance, you can tell he's serious and cool.

Ning Shu couldn't help but think, Was Shen Mingxuan cold

He didn't think so, though. Men might seem a bit cold, but when they looked at you, you couldn't help feeling nervous. It wasn't because of pressure, but rather a sense of aggression in their gaze.

“You’ve been tricked, Mr. Shen smokes and he's quite the veteran at it.”

The girl lowered her voice involuntarily. "Did you see his fingers On his middle finger, there's a faint thin callus. Only someone who's been doing this for a long time would have that."

Ning Shu couldn't help but be stunned, following the other party's words to look. Because they were sitting in front, they could see so clearly.

As the girl said, there was a pale mark on the man's long fingers.

He couldn't help but think of the scene he had seen in the private room that night.

The man held a cigarette between his fingers, his movements graceful yet imbued with a nonchalant coldness.

When he looked up, there was a feeling of being targeted by a wild animal.

“You can tell that, for crying out loud!”

The little girl exclaimed.

"Don't even think about who I am. Look at him, Mr. Shen. He seems abstinent and perfect on the surface, but just looking at him, you know he's definitely not a simple man." The girl whispered, "My cousin told me that men like this are very dangerous and good at disguising themselves. For their own goals, they will stop at nothing, it's terrifying. Don't get involved with them easily..."

Ning Shu, hearing the seriousness in her words, couldn't help but find it amusing.

He concealed a smile and observed Shen Mingxuan attentively, who was being evaluated by them.

Yet in the next moment, he met the man's gaze. It was deep and intensely probing.

The young man couldn't help but be taken aback.

The man’s gaze fell on him for a long while before he finally looked away and said, “So, I’m here to wish you all the best of luck on your exams. And should there be an opportunity in the future, Shen Corporation welcomes you…”

Thunderous applause erupted below.

Even after the speech ended, the girls were still excitedly discussing how charming Mr. Shen was.

Many people also went up to sign.

Ning Shu looked for a while, but still didn't go over.

He hesitated a little.

Should I contact Shen Mingxuan If so, what should I say to him

What can a high school student say

Ning Shu watched the boys playing basketball, falling into a tangle of thoughts. He stared for a while, starting to daydream.

Actually, Ning Shu envies boys who are so sunny and cheerful.

He remembered that he had once held a basketball before, but only once. He was seen by Ning's father and scolded for it. He was told that playing with such things would lead to ruin and that the Ning family did not need a child like him.

But no one knows.

Ning Shu just wants to be born into an ordinary family with ordinary parents. She wants to be able to play basketball freely with everyone, play and frolic together, and even go to the internet cafe after school.

But he is the young master of the Ning family.

Until Ning Shu died, he never touched a basketball again.

"Wanna play" a low, magnetic voice said from behind her.

Ning Shu was slightly stunned and raised her face in a daze, "Shen, Mr. Shen"

The man stood before him and said in a calm tone, "Seeing you staring at the field all this time, why don't you go play with them"

Ning Shu's face flushed, she shook her head.

Shen Mingxuan said, "Is it that you don't want to tell me, or are you still minding what happened last time and don't want to see me"

Ning Shu couldn't help but say, "No, Mr. Shen...."

He blushed and stammered, "It's not because of that...."

"What's the reason Are you not on good terms with them" Shen Mingxuan raised an eyebrow.

Ning Shu interrupted his guess, her face reddened as she said, "It's because I..."

The boy's voice dropped a little, sounding a bit embarrassed.

Shen Mingxuan bent down and said, "Hmm"

Ning Shu saw him suddenly approach, and couldn't help but be startled. Her eyes widened slightly.d promised to take him along, but once they were in the carriage...But the Crown Prince ignored him.Ning Shu, seeing this, changed the subject and said, "Your Highness, are you on good terms with Gene...
