　　 "I know that you are kindhearted, so if you keep the shares, I can be at ease. But if you're determined to leave, this can also be regarded as compensation."

　　In a firm tone, grandfather Gong sounds irresistible. But Si Wan knows that she definitely can't take the shares; after careful consideration, she makes a concession.

　　"Grandfather, how about this? Since the shares will be mine after I leave the Gong Family, now you might as well hold them for me. Since there is still a long time, I think it will be better that you keep them."

　　As Si Wan puts forward a compromise, after a little consideration, grandfather Gong also finds it reasonable, so he takes the advice and gathers all the materials. Seeing this, Si Wan relaxes a little, but still knits her brows. Although she has persuaded grandfather to keep the shares for now, she can't make sure that he won't force her to accept them in the future. She still has to find a way to refuse.

　　With a load on her mind, Si Wan returns to her room. The empty room feels extremely lonely, but soon afterwards she may even lose this loneliness.

　　"Boss Gong, this is today's schedule." In the elevator, the a.s.sistant is saying something to Gong Siming with a schedule in his hand. Si Wan stands in the corner of the elevator, feeling a little awkward.

　　Last night, he still didn't come back. But unexpectedly, she meets him in the elevator this morning. She wants to say h.e.l.lo, but is daunted by his alienated eyes.

　　It will not be long before she leaves, thus it makes no sense to draw his attention again now. So be it. It's fine. Si Wan lowers her head to cover the sadness in her eyes, without noticing that Gong Siming is frowning.

　　Recently she has been quite silent. In the past, her eyes are always fixed on him, but now, she seems to be ready to disappear. This gives Gong Siming an unusual feeling. Does he start to care about her?

　　Being astonished by his sudden thought, Gong Siming utters a snorting laugh.

　　How is this possible?

　　Presumably, this is another trick through which she attracts his attention. Thinking of the unfavorable possibilities, Gong Siming sees Si Wan walks straight out of the elevator with a calm face.

　　"This d.a.m.ned woman…" Si Wan always looks superior and invulnerable, which he hates a lot. Staring at her, Gong Siming notices that she even didn't give him a look, which makes him a little indignant. Noticing the awkwardness and seeing Si Wan's leaving, the a.s.sistant wants to say something to moderate the atmosphere, but is scared by Gong Siming's appalling look.
