The ambulance arrived, and I was urgently taken to the hospital for treatment.

Fortunately, the wound I received was not too deep, and it didn't hit any vital organs. I just needed a few stitches and there was a bit of blood.

It was a close call, but I managed to save my life.

After the wound was treated, Yan Yang's emotions calmed down.

He looked at me with a complex gaze, "Why did you rush to save me? Why did you take the knife for me? Do you know... it's very dangerous. You could have paid with your life."

Of course, I didn't want that.

It was all a misunderstanding...

But... since I had already done a good deed, I wouldn't sabotage myself.

Thinking about it, Yan Yang is the chairman's son.

If everything goes as expected, he will be the successor of the company.

As long as I can build a good relationship with the successor, wouldn't I be able to thrive in this company in the future?

So I quickly adjusted my expression, showing weakness with determination, tenderness with a hint of shyness, and said, "I was scared, of course, but we are good friends. When I thought my good friend would get hurt, I didn't care about anything else. I just wanted to block that knife for you. So... you wouldn't get hurt. Luckily, I managed to block it for you."

These words were both sincere and thoughtful, should I have won him over directly?

After he takes over, I should at least get a promotion, right?

Just as I was indulging in my dream of promotion and raise, Yan Yang's eyes suddenly turned red.

"I understand your feelings towards me... I won't let you down in the future."

Upon hearing this, my eyes lit up.

This means... he will always protect me in the future, right?

However, when I returned to the company, I found out that Yan Yang would indeed protect me for a lifetime.

But it seemed... not in the way I imagined a boss would protect his subordinate.

It was more like... a husband to a wife.
