C7 Not Letting Me Follow! the Familiar Girl!!
Murong Hong adhered to Xiao Nan's earlier instructions to leave swiftly once the matter was resolved, without lingering or engaging in further conversation. Yet, whenever Murong Hong gazed at Xiao Nan, his eyes involuntarily betrayed a familiar warmth. It was a detail that only the most observant could discern, and indeed, only someone as perceptive as Xiao Nan could clearly recognize it. Xiao Nan's brow furrowed in response.
On the other side, Murong Hong had initially intended to stay a bit longer, but upon noticing Xiao Nan's furrowed brow, he felt an involuntary tremor in his heart. Without delay, Murong Hong gestured with his hand and promptly led the way out. In an instant, the area was deserted, with everyone gone, including Lin Yali.
Seated once again on her electric scooter, Wang Ziyan had an almost dreamlike sensation. With no further incidents, Xiao Nan had successfully delivered her to her company's location. Sroz Media was situated on the 66th floor of the Hemipeel Tower, a prestigious address that the company, a small subsidiary of the Sroz Group, had the audacity to claim for its sole use. Most small firms wouldn't dare to occupy an entire floor for office space, but Sroz Media boldly secured the most luxurious and expensive level.
However, this wasn't Wang Ziyan's choice; the Sroz Media had been allocated this space by the Wang family back when it was still part of the Sroz Group. Wang Ziyan was actively searching for a new location to relocate Sroz Media, as the rent at Hemipeel Tower was exorbitantly high. The savings from a less costly venue could significantly increase her employees' salaries for several months.
Today was indeed the scheduled meeting with investor Chen Jiannan, but Wang Ziyan's priority was to terminate the contract at Hemipeel Tower, which would free up funds for Sroz Media's account. This thought slightly lifted her spirits.
Xiao Nan, after ensuring that Wang Ziyan's mood had improved, steadied the electric scooter and waited for her to dismount. After a brief glance at Xiao Nan, Wang Ziyan turned and walked away. Xiao Nan nodded in acknowledgment and then prepared to depart.
Xiao Nan didn't want to leave; it was Wang Ziyan who had asked him to go.
After watching Wang Ziyan enter the building, he considered riding away on his electric scooter but then hesitated.
Xiao Nan thought he ought to offer Wang Ziyan his assistance once more. Otherwise, Sroz Media was indeed facing a crisis.
If he refrained from helping, the thirty million would surely be unattainable, and Chen Jiannan would likely refuse Wang Ziyan's plea for help.
Such a large company wouldn't just accept anyone's request for assistance.
Investing in a company that was practically a shell and in debt was something only a fool would do.
With this in mind, Xiao Nan decided to move forward.
At that moment, he parked his electric scooter beside Hemipeel Tower, right at the entrance of an alley.
There were many other scooters parked in the vicinity.
He chose this spot because Wang Ziyan believed Xiao Nan shouldn't be seen with her in public.
She had told Xiao Nan directly, thinking his presence was somewhat embarrassing.
Whenever she expressed these sentiments, she would add that if Xiao Nan left the Wang family to carve out his own path and build his own business, then she wouldn't feel he was a disgrace.
But what Wang Ziyan didn't realize was that Xiao Nan stayed with the Wang family and was so devoted to her because of a promise to his master and because he had fallen for her.
And as for the so-called career, wasn't being a big master impressive enough? What more did he need?
While standing there, Xiao Nan suddenly had the unsettling feeling of being watched.
He sensed someone's gaze upon him.
At that moment, with a smile, Xiao Nan looked off into the distance.
Upon spotting the person approaching, he knew this was the one who had been watching him.
Almost instantly, Xiao Nan felt a wave of discomfort.
The person was still at a distance, yet Xiao Nan could sense their presence.
After a brief pause, Xiao Nan called out, "Come out. I've already sensed your presence."
With his words, the intense sensation that Xiao Nan had previously felt began to swell even more.
In the end, at another spot near the corner of the alley, on a distant sidewalk, some pedestrians were walking briskly. As they approached a point just to the right of the alley's entrance, the previously intermittent presence surged forth in full force.
Following this, a figure began to emerge slowly from the mouth of the alley.
It was a delicate silhouette.
As the slender figure came into view, Xiao Nan's recognition was immediate.
Just by the outline alone, Xiao Nan could tell who it was.
This person was Xiao Nan's junior sister. Gradually, the figure approached Xiao Nan.
Then, she came to a standstill before him.
"Senior Brother, Senior Sister mentioned that your tenure as the Wang family's son-in-law is nearly over. It's time for you to return to our sect," she said.
"Senior Sister misses you. She also asked me to convey her message; she admits her mistake. Senior Brother, please come back. Since Master passed away, the sect has seen a significant drop in profits. Moreover, we've faced bullying from others. Senior Brother, we're all waiting for you to lead us back to becoming the largest power in the world!"
The individual now standing before Xiao Nan was a young woman.
