Challenging the CEO

“If I’m not mistaken, you deliberately keep a distance from everyone, right!” Lu Ziyi suddenly spoke after a pause. “Hmm?” Xia Xi was slightly stunned, not understanding how the topic had turned this way. “Take me for example, you only know my name, but you’ve never been curious about my surname. In your heart, you completely refuse to know anything about me, preferring that I ultimately disappear like a stranger, right?” Although he was smiling, Lu Ziyi’s words struck her heart like hammers. “…” “Are you too protective of yourself, or too afraid of getting hurt?” Xia Xi’s expression slightly changed, but she still maintained the same calm tone. “You really love to uncover my scars!” “I just want to get to know you,” Lu Ziyi smiled nonchalantly. “Does knowing your surname matter that much?” Xia Xi countered. “Not exactly important, but it represents that you truly want to keep a distance from me in your heart.” “My father… was quite promiscuous. I was just a product of his momentary passion,” she said, since he wanted to ask. Many things had been bottled up in her heart, and she always wanted a chance to vent. “I still remember that year when I was very young, my mother entrusted me to my father to raise me. I’ve always firmly remembered the words she whispered in my ear…” “What did your mother say?” It wasn’t easy to make the woman in front of him reveal her vulnerable side, but he would be a good listener.
