Shen Fangxing remained silent, her back straight, unmoved by Shen Qianrou's words.

That's just how Shen Fangxing was sometimes; she could crush people with silence alone.

The humiliation of being ignored made Shen Qianrou clench her teeth inwardly, but with Su Heng by her side, she couldn't act as she wished.

Soon enough, the elevator arrived, and Shen Fangxing calmly stepped inside with her bag.

Su Heng and Shen Qianrou followed suit.

Shen Fangxing pressed the button for the 21st floor, where the research and development department was located.

As for the two behind her, she didn't ask, nor did she care. It wasn't her obligation.

Originally, she intended to bring up the resignation directly with Su Heng when she saw him, but seeing Shen Qianrou, she didn't want to say more than necessary.

Such people were too good at making their presence felt, too good at adding drama to their lives!

If she were to bring up the matter of resignation with Su Heng now, Shen Qianrou would inevitably make a scene.

Why give her the chance to disgust herself?

Sensing that Shen Fangxing only pressed her floor, Shen Qianrou's eyes darkened, but then her moistened lips curved into a smile.

In front of Shen Fangxing, she pressed the button for the top floor, the 36th floor.

A case of theft: this story is not rightfully on Amazon; if you spot it, report the violation.

Then she looked at Shen Fangxing with a smile, a hint of provocation in her eyes.

The 36th floor belonged exclusively to Su Heng's area, and without Su Heng's permission, no one was allowed to enter.

And now, that place was where Shen Qianrou could come and go as she pleased.

She thought Shen Fangxing would care, but after staring at her for a while, Shen Fangxing remained indifferent, without the slightest change in expression.

Shen Qianrou gritted her teeth and walked up to Su Heng, whispering softly,

"Brother Heng, isn't there an internal meeting for senior management in the company later? Since Sister is here..."

Su Heng's expression froze. Looking at Shen Fangxing's back, he remained silent for a while before slowly saying,

"Since she's here, there's no reason not to attend."

As the elevator ascended, before Su Heng's words had completely settled, they reached the 21st floor, and Shen Fangxing stepped out of the elevator without any pause.

Shen Fangxing's indifference left Shen Qianrou stifled, every word felt like punching into cotton, unable to vent out.

But Su Heng looked at Shen Fangxing's back and felt a sudden realization.

She seemed to have really let go, not forgiving him, not trying to keep him, decisively leaving no room between them.

There was a heavy sinking feeling in his heart, similar to the feeling in the hospital, as if he had lost something completely.

"Brother Heng, what should I do to make Sister feel a little better... Seeing her like this, I feel really sad..."

Shen Qianrou's suppressed voice came from beside him, soft and trembling, a mixture of strength and helplessness that made Su Heng feel pity.

He reached out to pull Shen Qianrou into his arms, lifting her delicate chin to wipe away the tears welling in her eyes.

Shen Qianrou looked even sadder.

"Sister has only come back from abroad three years ago and has only visited Grandpa three or four times since then. There's no one around her to take care of her... I'm really afraid she can't make it alone..."

Shen Qianrou's empathy touched Su Heng. These words struck a chord with him.

Bad relationship with family, now she refuses to face him properly.

Alone... Can she really handle it?

"Let's wait a little longer. When she calms down, I'll talk to her. Don't worry, Fangxing is always reasonable. Given time, she will surely understand us."

Shen Qianrou sniffed softly, nodding gently, her voice soft with melancholy:

"I hope so."
