Chapter 405


    C—harley saw that she was giving the roses to everyone, so he was a little happy in his heart. He


    walked over to Anne and asked, "Anne, you don''t like roses, so what flowers do you like? I''ll buy


    one for you tomorrow as well!


    Anne looked at Charley, and politely shook her head: "No need, I don''t like anything right now!"


    "Anne, are you free after work?" "I know there''s a new restaurant nearby. I heard that it'' s pretty


    good. Let''s go andpensate the taste!" Charley did not give up and was not willing to give up.


    He kept on asking her out.


    Previously, Anne would have rejected his invitation because he felt that his colleagues shouldn''t be


    too close to her.


    Furthermore, even though Charley had made the entirepany know of his fondness for her,


    Anne had never responded to him in a manner that was neither cold nor hot.


    But today, she wanted to anger n.


    "Sure, let’s go Dutch!" Anne agreed with a smile.


    "Why do you want to go Dutch? I want to treat you to a meal!" Charley was very happy that she


    agreed to it, but he was also very unhappy that she said she wanted to spilt the bill.


    "If you don''t want to go Dutch, then I won''t go!" Anne''s real purpose was to anger n. She did not


    really want to ept Charley''s invitation. Thus, she felt that if they were to spilt the bill, Charley


    would attempt to go closer to her.


    Charley could only nod his head, "Alright, as long as we can have a meal together, I will be


    satisfied!"


    After their chatting, the assistant in the CEO''s office suddenly sent a message to thepany''s


    staffs.


    The title was about thepany''s new regtionsing out.


    The first rule is that employees within thepany are not allowed to fall in love with each other at


    work.


    Everyone was surprised but Anne found it funny. What kind of joke was this n ys again?


    Not long after he sent the mail, Anne received an internal call. It was from n, who requested for


    her toe to his office to talk.


    Coincidentally, Anne also had something to say to him. Last time, he said that he wanted to see his


    daughter, but she didn''t agree with him.


    Pushing open the door of the CEO''s office, n felt as if he had matured within a few days. His


    handsome face was no longer as friendly as before, it was dyed with depression.


    Seeing her enter, n turned his head to look at her, his voice low and hoarse, "The roses I gave


    you, do you like?"


    "I don''t like them. I gave them to my colleagues!" Anne answered very straightforwardly.


    "You''re lying, this is clearly your favorite flower!" n saw through her heart instantly.


    Anneughed coldly: "People''s preferences will change. In the past, what I liked were flowers, that''s


    because I was still filled with yearning for love, but now, what I like is money because money can


    give me and my daughter a sense of security and a better life."


    n was startled, it seemed that the gift he gave was not sent to her heart.


    "Alright, tomorrow, I''ll send the money!" n immediately changed his mind.


    Anne was angered by his words andughed: "I don''t want your money. The money I want is


    earned by my own."


    "My money is not for you, it''s for my precious daughter''s milk powder. You must ept it, okay?


    Don''t reject me! " n knew that she was stubborn, giving her money for free would hurt her self-


    esteem, so he could only use his daughter as an excuse.


    Anne still shook her head, and said coldly: "I can still earn money for my daughter''s milk powder by


    myself, so there''s no need for you to share it. In any case, this daughter is mine, and it has nothing


    to do with you."


    "Anne, do you have to reject me sopletely? You know how much I love this child! "How much


    you cherish every second of your time with her, you cannot ruthlessly take away my power and


    responsibilities." n was truly hurt and his handsome face was in pain.


    Anne listened to his heartfelt sincerity and his expression stiffened.


    "Anne, you can hate me but don''t stop me from loving my daughter, okay?" n walked in front of


    her with a pleading look in his eyes.


    Anne''s eyes looked a little sour for some reason. She had never thought about reaching this


    circumstance with n, but unfortunately, some injuries had already been caused, so it was


    impossible for her to return to the innocence of her youth.


    Fine, I promise you that I won''t stop you from seeing your daughter, but you must also promise me


    that your role is just her father. Don''t have any other thoughts, you are the great CEO of your


    family''s corporations. Anne''s heart finally softened. She felt she was really too ruthless sometimes.


    She hated the rules and regtions of the wealthy ss but she did not really hate n.


    The sorrow on n''s face disappeared in a second, and was reced with happiness, as if he


    wanted to embrace this woman.


    When he took a step forward, Anne took a step back in time, and said indifferently: "Did you


    understand what I''m saying in the end?"


    n''s expression stiffened once again. In the end, his hands hung down powerlessly and he sighed


    softly, "Do you have to draw the line so clearly with me? You really don''t have any feelings for me


    anymore? "


    Anne looked into his eyes and nodded, "Yes, I have no desire now!"


    "But I see that you are fighting very passionately with Charley in your office!" When n heard her


    say that he was heartless, he immediately used the truth to prove it.


    Anne lifted her lips andughed: "You shouldn''t be going to meddle in my business again, right?"

    "I have to care!" n said in a domineering tone, "This is a great matter that decides my daughter''s


    future stepfather!"


    Anne sneered: "Don''t worry, I have eyes. If I really want to look for her, I will definitely look for a man


    who is good to my daughter!"


    "Women are sometimes easily blinded by love. I must personally check on every man you interact


    with in the future. If I don''t like the men you found, you will have to give up them all!" n was still


    unreasonably tyrannical. Of course, he was already at the edge of copse and every time he


    thought of another man touching Anne''s body, he really wanted to beat that person up.


    Anne wasn''t truly a stone-hearted person but she could feel the strong feelings this man had for her


    from his words.


    Unfortunately, she still couldn''t get through that barrier in her heart. She kept feeling that the gulf


    between her and him was too deep, that she should be more rational. Even if her heart still loved


    him, she should not touch that forbidden line.


    "n, so many years have passed, you still seem to be very childish!" Anne didn''t know what to say


    to him anymore.


    n nodded, admitting: "That''s right, I''m still that childish man that you loved deeply in the past!"
