"Handling it?" Wu Yuxuan let out a cold laugh, his patience wearing thin. "Chen Lin, do you have any idea what could have happened if I hadn't walked in?"
She met his gaze without backing down. "I had it under control."
His eyes flashed with something dangerous. "Xu Jianhong wasn't just trying to intimidate you. He was testing how far he could push you."
His fingers tapped against the wheel, his voice dropping lower. "If I hadn't been there, what would you have done?"
She lifted her chin slightly. "I would've found another way."
Wu Yuxuan exhaled, shaking his head. "You shouldn't have been alone with him."
Chen Lin narrowed her eyes. "You think I don't know how to deal with men like Xu Jianhong? I've been handling people like him my entire life."
"Handling them?" His voice was sharp. "Chen Lin, you were alone in a room with a man who thought he had the upper hand. He wouldn't have stopped until he got what he wanted, or until he realized you wouldn't break."
