For the sake of his feelings, he had no qualms about turning back. However, she couldn’t just stand by and watch him sink into the depths of the Abyss and harm herself.

With this thought in mind, Lin Jiayi forcefully suppressed her soft heart and looked at Xia Shangzhou with a beaming smile. “What’s wrong? The navigation device suddenly received a promotion and a raise. Why isn’t there any reaction at all? Have you gone mad with Joy?”

Hearing Lin Jiayi’s question, Xia Shangzhou snapped back to his senses and tried his best to suppress the surging emotions in his heart, he forced a smile at Lin Jiayi, “Happy… of course I’m happy… I’m going to become a promising young man soon, how can I Not Be Happy?”

Lin Jiayi smiled as she picked up the Teacup on the table and raised it at Xia Shangzhou, “Navigator, thank you for your cooperation over the years. I wish you… A Bright Future.”

He didn’t want a bright future, he just wanted to stay by her side..

But in the end, he didn’t have the right to say those words. All he could do was follow her and pick up the Teacup on the table, raising it up at her, Lin Jiayi said, “Thank you, director Lin. I also want to thank you for your years of cultivation. I wish you… Happiness for the rest of your life.”

“Thank you.”Lin Jiayi smiled as she brought the Teacup to her mouth and downed the tea in one gulp.

Xia Shangzhou stared unblinkingly at Lin Jiayi until she finished her tea and put down the cup. Only then did he turn his gaze away and gulp down the tea in one gulp.

After lunch, Lin Jiayi was about to head back to the office when Xia Shangzhou suggested, “CEO Lin, let me send you back.”

“There’s no need for that. I’ll leave by myself. You can go home and rest…”

Faced with Lin Jiayi’s rejection, Xia Shangzhou pondered for a moment, then, he added, “Even though there’s no need for you to hand over your responsibilities, there are still some things that I’m in charge of. I think it’s better for me to follow you back to the office and talk to the people in the secretarial department about some important matters so that you won’t make a mess out of your important work.”

Hearing those words, Lin Jiayi pondered for a moment before nodding her head in agreement. “Alright.”

After returning to the office, Lin Jiayi headed straight for a meeting. Xia Shangzhou found Lin Jiayi’s longest-standing secretary and began to hand her over to him one by one.

Two hours later, Lin Jiayi’s meeting wasn’t over yet. Xia Shangzhou sat in the same position he had been in for the past seven years in a daze for a moment before starting to organize his things.

Lin Jiayi’s lost key chain, Lin Jiayi’s lost bag pendant, Lin Jiayi’s lost pen, and Lin Jiayi’s lost hairpin..

All these years, he had kept all the trivial things that she didn’t want in the drawer of his office. As he organized his things, he actually managed to gather a huge box.

After Xia Shangzhou finished packing his things, he took a glance at the conference room.

The door to the conference room was tightly shut, and it didn’t look like the meeting was about to end.

However, he didn’t intend to wait for her to end the meeting and bid her farewell. Instead, he walked around the huge office with a huge box in his arms and stared at his colleagues who were engrossed in their work, finally, his gaze landed on Lin Jiayi’s office door.

He stared at the door for a long time before turning his gaze away. Without turning his head back, he turned around and left.

He knew that one day, he would leave her side.

All these years, he had been working hard, hoping that this day would come a little later, a little later..

But in the end, this day had come..

Then, Goodbye.

Then, take care.
