Chapter 291 Find a Quiet Place
"Actually, I hope to be your support." Yang Cheng's words revealed a hint of firmness and warmth.
Xiao Hua was silent for a moment, seemingly touched by Yang Cheng's words. "I feel that sometimes in this circle, there are too few people who can truly be trusted."
Yang Cheng's heart sank, knowing that Xiao Hua was longing for emotional support deep down. He secretly made up his mind to show Xiao Hua that he was reliable and firm.
However, Black Tiger's vigilance remained constant. Yang Cheng sensed Black Tiger's increasingly close surveillance of him during subsequent work. Whenever he attempted to engage in deeper communication with Xiao Hua, he felt pressure from Black Tiger.
"I can't give up, I must continue." Yang Cheng said to himself, trying to stay calm and look for a breakthrough.
One night, Yang Cheng was drinking with friends at a bar when he suddenly received a message from Xiao Hua. She sent him a photo of herself and Hei Hu at an event, with a teasing caption: "Look, this is my partner!"
Yang Cheng's heart tightened. Hei Hu's face seemed to appear in his mind. He realized that Xiao Hua's dependence on Hei Hu might not just be work-related. He replied, "It seems that you two get along very well."
Xiaohua's reply arrived quickly: "Actually, sometimes I wonder, is Black Tiger really that good?"
This sentence hit Yang Cheng's heart like a hammer. He knew that Xiao Hua might be hiding some dissatisfaction and doubts about Hei Hu. Yang Cheng thought to himself, "Perhaps I can take this opportunity to guide her and make her trust me more."
"I think he is very good at business, but everyone has some shortcomings." Yang Cheng replied cautiously, trying to guide Xiaohua's emotions.
"You're right. Working with him makes me feel very stressed." Xiaohua's words revealed a hint of helplessness.
"Then we can talk and find some ways to relieve stress." Yang Cheng felt the opportunity coming and decided to increase his offensive.
"Okay, I've been so busy with work lately, I also need to relax." Xiaohua's reply made Yang Cheng happy, as if he saw an opportunity to further improve their relationship.
A few days later, they arranged to meet again. Yang Cheng chose a quiet restaurant with a relaxing atmosphere. When Xiaohua arrived, Yang Cheng was already waiting at the door. Seeing her, he felt a warm feeling in his heart.
"Hello, Yang Cheng." Xiaohua greeted with a smile, as if all the pressure had dissipated at this moment.
"Hello, Xiaohua." Yang Cheng responded, his eyes involuntarily lingering on Xiaohua's face, and he silently sighed in his heart, "She is really beautiful."
After the two sat down, they ordered some delicious dishes. Yang Cheng tried to steer the conversation in a more relaxed direction. "Has anything interesting happened recently?"
Xiaohua was slightly stunned and thought for a moment. "Actually, I recently attended an exhibition and saw some great works. I felt inspired again."
Yang Cheng's eyes lit up, and he thought to himself, "This is exactly what I want!" "Sounds good, are there any works that you particularly like?"
Xiaohua excitedly shared the works she had seen. Yang Cheng listened, but he was constantly thinking about how to steer the conversation back to his own plans. "I think you have a good aesthetic sense. Perhaps you could try to explore deeper into your creative work."
Xiaohua nodded, his eyes gleaming with anticipation. "I'm also thinking about trying some new styles."
"That's a great idea. It's always worth pursuing new possibilities." Yang Cheng encouraged her with a smile, but he knew in his heart that he had to guide Xiaohua in his own direction to avoid obstruction from the Black Tiger.
During their conversation, Yang Cheng noticed a hint of confusion in Xiao Hua's eyes, as if he was confused about the future. He decided to take this opportunity to further deepen their feelings for each other.
"Xiaohua, sometimes I wonder if we have ignored our true feelings in the process of pursuing our dreams." He mentioned cautiously.
Xiao Hua was slightly stunned, his eyes falling on the dining table, as if thinking about Yang Cheng's words. "Yes, sometimes I feel like life has become an obligation."
"I understand this feeling. Maybe we can try to find something to make ourselves happy." Yang Cheng's voice softened, trying to get Xiaohua to open up.
Xiaohua looked up, his eyes gleaming with gratitude. "Thank you, Yang Cheng. You always understand me."
At this moment, Yang Cheng felt a surge of sweetness in his heart, but it was immediately interrupted by the pressure of reality. He had to find a balance between Xiaohua's trust and Heihu's vigilance.
After a few days, Yang Cheng felt that Hei Hu's attitude was becoming increasingly tense, and he almost stopped supporting him in any cooperation. Whenever Yang Cheng proposed a collaboration with Xiao Hua, Hei Hu would always respond coldly and even began to interfere with him.
"The direction of this company should not deviate from our plan." There was obvious dissatisfaction in Hei Hu's words, and a vigilant glint in his eyes.
Yang Cheng's heart tightened, knowing that Hei Hu was deliberately putting pressure on him. "I think cooperation with Xiao Hua will be very helpful for our future development." He tried to calm down and try to convince Hei Hu.
"She's just an artist and doesn't have much business acumen." Hei Hu's tone was full of contempt.
At this moment, Yang Cheng felt a surge of anger, but he knew he had to be patient. He tried to remain calm and said, "I think we should give Xiaohua a chance. The value of art often transcends commercial value."
Hei Hu's expression suddenly darkened, clearly dissatisfied with Yang Cheng's rebuttal. He didn't say anything else, but just looked at Yang Cheng coldly, and the atmosphere became solemn for a moment.
Yang Cheng realized that he had to be more careful and not let Hei Hu see that his relationship with Xiao Hua was gradually getting closer. However, his inner emotions continued to heat up, making him feel extremely conflicted.
Under such pressure, Yang Cheng decided to have an in-depth discussion with Xiao Hua. He wanted Xiao Hua to understand his true feelings towards her, while at the same time keeping a secret from Hei Hu.
"Can we find a quiet place to talk about our future?" Yang Cheng tentatively suggested during a date.
Xiaohua was a little surprised, but quickly nodded. "Okay, I also have a lot of ideas I want to share with you."
They chose a park with a tranquil environment and shady trees, which provided a suitable background for this in-depth conversation. Yang Cheng's heart was filled with anticipation and nervousness. He longed for close contact with Xiaohua, but was also worried that Hei Hu might notice him.
Sitting on the bench, Yang Cheng tried to maintain a relaxed attitude. "Xiaohua, are you feeling a little tired from your recent work?"
