Rong Nian sat beside her, watching her bow her head and eat intently, the image of her standing drenched at his apartment door just now reappeared before his eyes.
So pitiful, like a little dog soaked by rain and unable to find its home.
"Did something happen today?" Rong Nian asked in a low voice.
Jiang Xi paused, continuing to slurp her noodles, "President Rong, may I ask you a question?"
Rong Nian hummed in response.
Jiang Xi swallowed the noodles in her mouth and looked up at him, "If... I mean, if the Tianlu Group was secretly involved in illegal and criminal operations, what would you do?"
Rong Nian's gaze turned deep, "Why do you ask that?"
Jiang Xi pursed her lips, "Answer me first."
Rong Nian leaned back in his chair, saying, "You should be clear about what I did before I joined the Tianlu Group."
"Yeah, I know," Jiang Xi nodded. Rong Nian had been a soldier, and even though he had retired, certain things were etched into his soul and bones.
