1606 Persistence

Xuan Sheng reached out to hold the woman’s hand, but the woman dodged him.

“Don’t be like this.” The woman forced a smile at Xuan Sheng. “I know my status very well. CEO Xuan, you don’t have to pity me.”

Hearing the woman’s words, Xuan Sheng suddenly turned around and looked at the woman at an extremely close distance.

Caught off guard, she met Xuan Sheng’s deep gaze. The woman’s breathing stopped and obvious panic flashed across her eyes.

“It’s been so long, but you’re still unwilling to tell me your name.” Xuan Sheng smiled. “Why? Is your name so precious?”

“Didn’t I already say that my name is Sheng Yi?”

“I’ve checked. That’s not your real name.” Xuan Sheng’s eyes darkened. “When will you be willing to tell me your real name??”

Sheng Yi looked up at Xuan Sheng’s face and her heart ached. At that moment, she could barely hold back her emotions, but her strong restraint from so many years stopped her. “My name is Sheng Yi.”

“Mm.” Xuan Sheng took a step back. “I understand. Let’s not talk about this anymore. What do you want to eat?”

“Anything is fine.”

“Okay, seeing that you like to eat fish, I’ll get the chef to make steamed fish and send it over today.”

The two of them chatted as they walked in. Xuan Sheng did not hide his relationship with the woman at all and openly held her arm.

Seeing this scene, everyone was already used to it.

After all, in the past ten years, everyone had seen too much. From the initial shock to the current calmness, they could already completely accept this scene.

Almost everyone knew that more than ten years ago, there was a woman with 100% disability beside Xuan Sheng. That woman had undergone hundreds of surgeries, big and small. Everyone in the medical industry knew that there was no hope of recovering from such a serious injury. This woman had to live with scars that covered her entire body for the rest of her life.

Initially, everyone thought that Xuan Sheng had brought the woman around to seek treatment out of kindness.

However, later on, every year, Xuan Sheng would propose to this woman once in public.

The first time he proposed to a woman was at Glory World Corporation’s annual meeting. Xuan Sheng took the diamond ring and knelt on one knee to the woman in the black robe. The woman fled.

Back then, this matter had actually occupied the trending list for an entire month. It could be seen how shocked the netizens in the country were.

Later on, as Xuan Sheng proposed more and more times, everyone got used to it. Their attitudes gradually changed from shock to blessings.

After all, it was no exaggeration to say that a man like Xuan Sheng was worthy of any woman in the world. However, he had brought a woman in a black robe with him for more than ten years and had never despised her at all.

This sincerity touched thousands of netizens.

Now, seeing Xuan Sheng speak softly and patiently to the woman, countless envious and jealous gazes landed on the woman.

Sensing everyone’s complicated gazes, the woman sighed softly. “It’s been more than ten years. Why must you guard a broken person like me? CEO Xuan, you should have a better choice.”

Xuan Sheng turned around and looked at her. He said meaningfully, “Do you know why I’m so persistent and insistent?”

“Why??”

“Because there was once a person who taught me what perseverance and persistence are.”

“Is it Miss Xia?”

“No.” Xuan Sheng smiled. “She’s a very brave and silly girl.”
