Chapter 37: Don't you know the consequences when you cross the line?

His attention shifted from the phone back to the computer screen, and in less than two seconds, Xie Xuan heard his phone vibrating again.

The phone was unlocked, and the screen still displayed the WeChat conversation.

At the top of the chat window was the nickname 'Little Marshmallow', and not only that, in his phone contacts, her phone number was also listed under the same nickname.

"The coffee today was very good, thank you."

On his table was an identical cup of black coffee.

She had tasted it, so he wanted to try it too.

Xie Xuan replied with a simple "Mmm" and then set his phone aside.

He picked up his coffee cup and took a sip.

The Blue Mountain coffee, filled with a rich aroma, blossomed in his mouth with a unique mellowness. The strong and enticing elegance of the coffee made Xie Xuan, who never drank black coffee, couldn't help but praise, "Not bad."

After another sip, he placed the coffee cup back on the table.

Savoring the unique sweetness of Blue Mountain coffee on his tongue, he pursed his lips and subconsciously smiled.

Little Marshmallow indeed had excellent taste.

At this moment, the code scrolling down the computer screen abruptly stopped, and the display switched to a 3D world map, with a red dot continuously flashing on it.

Xie Xuan slid the mouse, causing the map's scope to zoom in.

He noticed that the red dot's blinking speed increased as he got closer to the exact location.

Then, all of a sudden, the red dot disappeared.

Xie Xuan stopped abruptly.

He released the mouse, lazily leaning back in his chair, and squinted at the computer screen.

After going around in circles using overseas servers, it unexpectedly ended up back in B City.

Interesting!

At this moment, there was a knock on the office door.

Xie Xuan glanced at the surveillance camera and saw that it was Xie Third. He raised his arm and lazily tapped the Enter key on the keyboard.

With a 'ding', Xie Third entered the room.

"Master, Mrs. Zheng's dinner party has ended, and Mr. Zheng is returning to the country today. After the dinner, Mrs. Zheng personally went to the airport to pick him up."

Mr. Zheng, in this case, referred to Xie Shengnan's son, Zheng Shaohua.

After a while, Xie Xuan spoke in a low voice, "The whole family is here..."

Xie Third: "At this critical moment, Mrs. Zheng asked Lil' Mr. Zheng to return. I'm afraid..."

"Don't worry," Xie Xuan, with his head resting on the back of the chair, took a deep breath and closed his eyes. "It's a rare reunion for them, so why should we spoil their mood?"

"Understood," Xie Third obeyed.

Having followed Xie Xuan for so many years, he unconditionally obeyed every command.

But...

It seemed like he had something to say but hesitated. After a few seconds of silence, Xie Xuan opened his eyes. "Do you have something else to say?"

Xie Third pursed his lips and finally said, "Master, about Miss Lu..."

At this, Xie Xuan's gaze, which had been on him, instantly turned cold. "Huh?"

Xie Third continued without changing his expression, "I believe that Miss Lu, while her appearance is compatible with yours, is ultimately just a decorative vase. Master has a special status, and it's not advisable to get too close to her."

If he got implicated by her, the consequences would be unimaginable.

But he didn't say that last part.

Some things were better left unsaid, and he didn't need to be so explicit.

With that, the office fell into a deathly silence.

After about half a minute, Xie Xuan stood up.

He walked slowly to Xie Third's side. "Third Brother, you've been with me for so long. Don't you know the consequences when you cross the line?
