Chapter 202 One Lifetime is also possible
Lin Chuyue stood before the floor-to-ceiling window, her gaze cold and sharp, piercing through the glass as she surveyed the bustling city traffic. Her fingers tapped slowly on the table as she pondered Shen Fang's movements. Shen Fang had been away from the country for some time, but this silence was merely the calm before the storm.
Just as she was pondering, her phone screen lit up, and a WeChat message from Li Zhanchuan popped up—
"Are you done?"
Lin Chuyue looked at the screen, a slight smile playing on her lips, and quickly replied with her fingers: "Just finished, is there something you need?"
The other party replied almost instantly.
"Come downstairs, I'll take you to relax."
Lin Chuyue raised an eyebrow, hesitated slightly, and finally picked up her bag and left the office.

When they arrived downstairs, Li Zhanchuan stood by the car, still dressed in a well-tailored black suit that accentuated his tall, slender figure and cold, handsome features. Seeing her emerge from the door, a slight smile played on his lips as he stepped forward and opened the passenger door for her: "Get in."
Lin Chuyue sat down and casually asked, "Where are we going?"
Li Zhanchuan didn't answer, but started the car and said with a slight parting of his thin lips, "You'll know when you get there."
The car drove away from the city center, through a bustling commercial district, and gradually entered the quiet suburbs. Lin Chuyue looked at the scenery flashing past the window and frowned slightly: "Are we going on vacation?"
"No." Li Zhanchuan kept his eyes on the road and focused on driving. "I just want to take you somewhere."
Half an hour later, the car stopped in a secluded lakeside park. The lake water was sparkling, the shore was lined with large green spaces, and the air was filled with the fragrance of grass and trees, which was refreshing.
"Get out of the car." Li Zhanchuan was the first to push open the door and get out, then walked around to her side and gentlemanly opened the car door.
After getting out of the car, Lin Chuyue looked around, slightly surprised: "When did you find a place like this?"
"I found it by chance before, and I thought it would suit you quite well." Li Zhanchuan's tone was indifferent, but his gaze was so gentle that it was impossible to ignore.
The two walked side by side along the lakeside path, their feet crunching softly on the fine sand. A gentle breeze ruffled Lin Chuyue's hair, and as she gazed into the distance, her mood seemed to soothe with the tranquility.
"Thank you," she said suddenly, her eyes sincere. "I've had too much going on lately, I really need to relax."
Li Zhanchuan looked at her, his eyes deep: "You can rely on me anytime."
Lin Chuyue glanced at him sideways, a slight smile curving her lips: "Then you'd better be prepared, I might rely on you for a long time."
Li Zhanchuan chuckled softly, his gaze full of affection: "A lifetime is fine too."
Lin Chuyue's heart trembled slightly. She gently looked away and instead looked up at the lake, a complex emotion rising in her eyes.
In her world, there had always been only calculation and composure; love had always been distant and elusive to her. However, Li Zhanchuan's existence was like a ray of light, silently seeping into her life, making it impossible for her to ignore.

After returning to the city, Lin Chuyue's phone rang.
It was Gu Yanchuan's call.
"Hey?"
Gu Yanchuan's voice remained gentle, yet tinged with inquiry: "Chuyue, I heard Shen Fang is up to something again?"
Lin Chuyue leaned against the car window, her eyes cold: "She won't let this go."
Gu Yanchuan was silent for a moment, then said in a low voice, "Do you need any help?"
Lin Chuyue chuckled lightly: "No need, I can handle it myself."
On the other end of the phone, Gu Yanchuan seemed to sigh softly, then said, "Okay, but feel free to contact me anytime if you need anything."
After hanging up the phone, Lin Chuyue closed her eyes slightly, her mind filled with Shen Fang's past schemes and her actions abroad.
This contest is far from over.
