Shen Zhiwei felt as if she was feeling the same pain as Bo Yan did. Stubbornly wiping away her tears, she pulled Duoduo to her side."Bo Yan, go get your surgery. Come out alive and we'll be your wife and daughter. If you're dead, I promise you that we won't show up at your funeral."With much difficulty, Bo Yan forced a smile. He knew perfectly well that Shen Zhiwei only said those things to make sure that he would live.After watching him getting pushed into the operating room, Shen Zhiwei picked Duoduo up and headed out of the hospital."Mom, I don't want to go. I want to wait for Dad to come out."Shen Zhiwei only cried in silence, unable to utter a word.Duoduo started struggling. "I want to wait for Dad."Shen Zhiwei ignored her."Mom, put me down. I want to go find Dad.""Mom needs to take care of something. You can only stay with your dad forever after that's settled."Duoduo stopped talking and only rested her head on Shen Zhiwei's shoulder.Bo Yan slept restlessly,
"At Lu Mingyu's villa."Bo Yan leapt to his feet, his face livid. "Are you sure?"The assistant nodded. "I've set up infrared facial recognition equipment in all major shopping malls and supermarkets, and Mrs. Bo has been spotted at a mall today. I drove out there immediately, just in time to see her getting into a Mercedes, so I followed the car. The driver was Lu Mingyu, and the two of them went into a villa together."Lu Mingyu used to be a big shot in Ming City, but for some unknown reason, he arrived in town a year ago. Before anyone knew it, he had dominated the city's economy to the point that he was almost as influential as Bo Yan.However, Shen Zhiwei didn't have any prior connection with the man, so why was she in his villa? Was it of her own will, or..."Let's go. I'd like to meet this Lu Mingyu."The assistant quickened his pace to follow Bo Yan. "President Bo, are we rushing things a little, visiting him like this?" he asked.Bo Yan walked so quickly, it was as if h
Sitting down next to Shen Zhiwei, Lu Mingyu poured himself a cup of herbal tea and savored the fragrance, looking smitten."Shen Zhiwei, I've done everything you asked me to, so isn't it about time that you fulfil your promises?"The look on Shen Zhiwei's face changed a little. Although she had prepared herself for this eventuality, she still felt baffled when Lu Mingyu brought it up."Sure. I'll go to your office tomorrow.""You know perfectly well that's not what I meant." Putting down the teacup, Lu Mingyu looked at her."I can't do it now. Not yet."Rising to his feet, Lu Mingyu seemed disgruntled when he looked at Shen Zhiwei. "Since there's no love but business between us, Miss Shen, why don't you show our contract some more respect?""I-I need to think of Duoduo. You're only an uncle to her, and she already has a father figure in mind. I don't want to traumatize her."Infuriated, Lu Mingyu threw the cup onto the ground, shattering it. "Is it Duoduo or yourself that you d
Shen Zhiwei picked up her phone and dialed Lu Mingyu's number. "What did you do?" she asked."I was just about to tell you, but it seems that you have other information sources other than me. But it doesn't matter. I don't mind even if Bo Yan is still in touch with you, because soon, he'll be so heartbroken that he'll wish he's dead."The tone in Lu Mingyu's voice scared Shen Zhiwei. She had always known Lu Mingyu to be a scheming man who would stop at nothing to achieve his goal.However, it was only today that Shen Zhiwei realized how frantic the man could be, and his madness was frightening."Lu Mingyu, I haven't said yes yet. How could you make the decision all by yourself?""Shen Zhiwei, you've brought this onto yourself. I've given you plenty of time already.""But you never tried to think about it from my side," he continued. "You're living under my roof, and I'm supporting you and Bo Yan's daughter. Am I not allowed to get anything out of it? You can't be that selfish. By
Her rising rage almost drove the young woman insane. "Lu Mingyu, how are you laughing right now? No one has ever talked to me like that. I'm telling you, if Shen Zhiwei doesn't apologize to me, I'm going to make her life miserable."Only then did Lu Mingyu find what he said a little outrageous. "Xiaowei, you want Bo Yan and I want Shen Zhiwei, so we should have each other's back. You can't keep accusing me, can you?"Bo Yan is the one you should go to. I've said on my invitation that he's supposed to attend with his wife tomorrow. If you can become his plus one, that's entirely up to you."Xiaowei was done talking to him. She hung up and went straight to Bo Yan's company, just in time to see him walking out of the building. "Hello, Mr. Bo."Bo Yan had never met her before, not to mention that Shen Zhiwei was all that he could think of at the moment. He didn't even want to look at any other woman."Out of my way.""Mr. Bo, I'm the only one that can help you with Shen Zhiwei."Bo
"Don't worry. I won't let something like that happen. Never!"Bo Yan's eyes had turned bloodshot red, reminding her of a lion hunting its prey. With a ferocious look in his eyes, he seemed to stare at some invisible point ahead.His demeanor baffled Zhuang Xiaowei. She had never seen Bo Yan show such an aggressive side.She couldn't help feeling perplexed, and the gloating look disappeared from her face. Her lips moved."Mr. Bo, I think you know that you'll need a plus one for the engagement party tomorrow, to handle other people and the press. If you like, I can give you a hand.""Miss Zhuang, you're from an influential family, so I hope you won't do anything inappropriate to embarrass yourself."Bo Yan seemed to be warning Zhuang Xiaowei, telling her not to do anything against him.He was also telling her not to get involved in the strife between him and Lu Mingyu.Of course, Zhuang Xiaowei knew what Bo Yan meant, so she smiled at him and spoke in her most seductive voice. "M
With a mocking expression, Lu Mingyu looked at the dejected Bo Yan."Just what must I do for you to cancel the engagement tomorrow? You don't even love Zhiwei, so why are you doing this? Just target me instead!"Bo Yan seemed to have lost his soul, looking at Lu Mingyu pleadingly. He had hoped that Lu Mingyu could solve the problem between the two of them in another way instead of getting Shen Zhiwei and their daughter, Duoduo, involved."Bo Yan, who told you I didn't love her? I love her very much, and she loves me as well, even your daughter, who you think of night and day, will call me 'Papa'! Hahaha!""Lu Mingyu, if you want revenge, you can target me. My life, my company, I'll give them all to you. Just please let go of the mother and daughter. Let them go home, let them come back to me. I'm begging you! Please?"Bo Yan knew that Lu Mingyu must have wanted him to get a taste of the pain that Lu Mingyu felt that year.But the incident that year, clearly…When Lu Mingyu heard
Shen Zhiwei was worried that Duoduo would run too quickly and trip, so she immediately ran after her.They had almost reached the door when a man suddenly appeared and blocked their way."Madam, Young Master Lu has given orders that the two of you cannot go out.""Let go of me," Shen Zhiwei said. "My daughter wants to see her father.""Madam, please don't make things harder for me. I'll have to answer to Young Master Lu.""Then call Lu Mingyu and tell him that I need to go out. This is imprisonment, and it's against the law!"Bo Yan watched the mother and daughter from afar. He couldn't hear what they said, but he could tell that the man didn't want his daughter and wife to see him.Bo Yan continued calling out from the other side of the iron gate. "Zhiwei, please tell me what's going on? Let's just take Duoduo and go home."Shen Zhiwei looked in the direction of the iron gate and felt conflicted.However, while the man wasn't looking, Duoduo slipped away and ran to Bo Yan."
