Xu Xiaoxiao reciprocated Ji Fang’s meaningful smile with a Imowing glance. His strikingly handsome face, coupled with those affectionate eyes, could disarm anyone with just a smile. Ji Fang’s cheeks flushed with laughter, and he quickly redirected his focus to the road, trying to suppress his amusement. “Xiaoxiao, don’t tease my people,” Zhou Hengguang said in a relaxed tone.
As soon as Ji Fang started the engine, it abruptly stalled.
Xu Xiaoxiao shot Zhou Hengguang a perplexed look but remained silent.
“Director, please don’t scare me like that,” Ji Fang pleaded.
“This engine is truly rubbish. No wonder Big Brother wants to renovate the engine structure and produce our engines!” Despite the potential seriousness of the situation, Zhou Hengguang effortlessly transitioned to discussing work, as if unaffected by the engine failure.
Indeed, he even pulled out his work diary, seemingly always ready to tackle tasks at any moment.
“Zhou Hengguang…”
“Call me Third Cousin, or else you’re dead,” Zhou Hengguang interrupted.
Xu Xiaoxiao complied, “Third Cousin if only you had a fraction of your current passion back in the Capital, you’d have become the principal of the design institute by now. ”

“There were too many people around earlier, making it hard to talk, ” Zhou Hengguang said, shifting his demeanour. He removed his glasses and toyed with them thoughtfully.
As Ji Fang drove, he could sense the change in the department director’s demeanour without needing to glance back. After serving as his secretary for so long, Ji Fang had grown wary of the director’s displeasure.
Even without his lenses, Zhou Hengguang’s gaze was intense. His dark, piercing eyes emitted an unsettling aura in the dim light of the night.
Deep, cold, fierce… It’s difficult to fully describe those eyes that were completely uncovered. Despite their inherent beauty, they exuded aggression and danger, qualities that were utterly unmasked.
Normal individuals are always wary of danger.
This was also why Zhou Hengguang, despite not being nearsighted, wore glasses. Zhou Hengguang had known from a young age that he wasn’t easily liked. His peers feared him, elders favoured his eldest brother, and his siblings adored his cheerful second brother.
Yet, his eldest and second brothers always included him, recognizing his loneliness. They’d bring him along on their adventures. Mischievous and playful, they’d climb trees to plunder bird nests and fish in the river, always bringing him along to help keep watch..
