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."
Everyone was surprised at Lu Mingyu's arrival.Shen Zhiwei shuddered and turned to Lu Mingyu in a fluster.Lu Mingyu feigned a gentle smile when he looked at her. "Zhiwei, don't forget what I told you. Now, go back inside. We have to make sure that you look your best tomorrow!"Those words made Shen Zhiwei even more nervous. Looking from Bo Yan to Lu Mingyu, she took Duoduo's hand and turned to leave.Seeing that his master had arrived, the guard at the gate feared that he would be blamed for the current situation, so he immediately grabbed Shen Zhiwei by the arm and dragged her toward the house."You! Let go of her! Don't touch her! Let go!" yelled Bo Yan. With such a strong reaction, it was clear to Lu Mingyu how much the man cared for his family."Bo Yan, why are you so flustered? She's my fiancee, so this is none of your business. Try something stupid again, and I can't promise that I won't take it out on the mother and daughter!"Lu Mingyu's threat couldn't be clearer. If B
Half an hour later, Bo Yan called Zhuang Xiaowei."Go to Lu Mingyu's engagement party with me tomorrow."Zhuang Xiaowei, who had been waiting for Bo Yan's phone call, almost jumped to her feet with joy, barely managing to keep her excitement at bay.Bo Yan, on the other hand, drank himself to sleep that night. Only after he was drunk could he stop thinking about the fact that Shen Zhiwei was going to become Lu Mingyu's fiancee.And getting drunk was the only thing that could numb his pain.If Shen Zhiwei had been forced into it, as long as she wanted to, he could take her away at any moment, even if it meant to lose everything. However, she said that she didn't love him anymore and that they were over!Their past came back to him bit by bit, and all the occasions that he had hurt her replayed in his head like a movie."Why do I only realize that I've been so unforgivably wrong after I've lost her?" The woman that had tried to save him at the price of her own life had stopped lov
