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
Shen Zhiwei watched as Bo Yan paled, feeling like a knife had been stabbed into her heart.Fearing that Bo Yan might make things worse, she had no choice but to stop him."Young Master Bo, please leave. My fiance and I need to talk in private." With her shaking voice, Shen Zhiwei couldn't even convince herself when she said those words. But what other choice did she have?Lu Mingyu had found her Achilles heel and could make her regret her decision with the tiniest command. For Duoduo and Bo Yan, she couldn't take the risk.Lu Mingyu raised an eyebrow at Shen Zhiwei and gave her a meaningful smile.He casually walked up to Bo Yan and lighted patted Bo Yan's right cheek before speaking in a sarcastic voice."Young Master Bo, did you hear that? My fiancee says that she needs to talk to me. You know where the door is. Haha!"Bo Yan clenched his fists so tight that his knuckles turned white and his nails dug into his palms. He couldn't feel any pain, because it was nothing compared t
As expected, Bo Yan stepped onto the stage, ignoring how the other guests booed and hissed. Both Lu Mingyu and Shen Zhiwei's faces darkened, and they wondered what Bo Yan wanted to do.With so many people watching, Lu Mingyu couldn't do anything to Bo Yan. A few security guards arrived, trying to remove him from the stage, but he broke free from their grips.Smiling, Lu Mingyu dismissed the security guards with a wave of his hand. Shen Zhiwei had her heart in her mouth and didn't know how to handle the unexpected situation.Lu Mingyu reacted before she could. He hastily told the guests, "It seems that Young Master Bo just can't wait to offer me his blessings!"Bo Yan gave Shen Zhiwei an affectionate glance. Since he had his back to the guests, no one else could see his expression. Shen Zhiwei, on the other hand, was flustered by the emotions in his gaze.Bo Yan stood right in front of Lu Mingyu and Shen Zhiwei with his back to the guests. Apart from Zhuang Xiaowei, no one else kne
"Bo Yan and the fourth daughter of the Zhuang Family? Are they a couple now? Since when? Bo Yan has been begging me to go back to him, but has he been lying to me? Or did Lu Mingyu say that on purpose?"Lu Mingyu smiled in satisfaction when he saw how distracted Shen Zhiwei was.Shen Zhiwei had no idea how she got through the rest of the party. She had to tell Lu Mingyu that she wasn't feeling well so she could return to Lu Mingyu's villa early.Duoduo had stayed behind during the party, and she still had no idea that her mother was now engaged to Lu Mingyu. When Shen Zhiwei saw her daughter running towards her, she felt heartbroken."Duoduo, I'm so sorry for not being able to give you a wholesome family!"But she couldn't bring herself to say those words. Duoduo was still so young, and Shen Zhiwei decided that she shouldn't be dragged into the drama of adults. The girl deserved a happy, healthy childhood.Throwing her arms tightly around Duoduo, Shen Zhiwei was in tears before s
Shen Zhiwei was having difficulty thinking straight. Instinct told her that this girl was someone special to Lu Mingyu, but she don't know the girl's identity or what their relationship had been.She flipped the picture over to find a few words written on the back that read, "I'll remember you forever!"The strokes were forceful with sharp corners, seemingly written by a man. She guessed the words had been written by Lu Mingyu, so this girl was probably a forbidden topic.Shen Zhiwei didn't want to know everything about Lu Mingyu. Their deal was the only thing they had in common and, to this day, she still couldn't figure out why Lu Mingyu had forced her to get engaged with him. "What does he want from me?"Seeing that Duoduo was enjoying her time with the bunny, Shen Zhiwei smiled in satisfaction. She crouched down and looked into Duoduo's innocent eyes. For a moment, she thought she saw Bo Yan in them making her shudder.It seemed that Bo Yan had already become an inseparable pa
Bo Yan had no idea how he got back home. He woke up to find himself lying on the sofa in the living room of his villa. Rubbing his throbbing temples, he called out, "Zhiwei, pour me a glass of water!"The room was empty, and no one answered him. Baffled, he called again. "Duoduo, where are you? Come to daddy."But he still heard no reply.It took Bo Yan a long time to realize that he was the only one living here now. Both Shen Zhiwei and Duoduo had left him.He had just woken up from a dream. In it, Zhiwei was making him breakfast and Duoduo was playing hide and seek with him. But it was only a dream. In the real world, he had lost them both.Rising unsteadily to his feet, he poured himself a glass of water and looked around the house. Only then did he realize that she hadn't set foot in this house for five years!The happiness used to be within his touch, but it had vaporized. "Shen Zhiwei, why would you give me hope only to take it away?"What happens to coming back and being
At that untimely moment, Bo Yan's phone rang. He checked the caller ID to find it was from Zhuang Xiaowei.Rubbing his forehead, he found the phone call irritating. He was just about to answer the call when it suddenly went silent.He was wondering if Zhuang Xiaowei had dialed his number by mistake when he received a message. "Bo Yan, you ungrateful man. Why didn't you pick up? I'm really mad!"Bo Yan was baffled for a while before recalling that after he drank himself down at the engagement party, Zhuang Xiaowei was the one who sent him back while he was only half-conscious.Bo Yan wasn't the ungrateful or treacherous type. After taking a deep breath, he called her back.The call went through and she picked it up almost immediately. Frowning, Bo Yan tried to sound as friendly as possible."Hey, Young Master Bo, I see that you don't want to be accused of being ungrateful. You sure called me back quickly enough."Zhuang Xiaowei's cloying voice came from the other end so vividly t
"Sure. I wasn't hungry last time, but I'm ready to have some lunch today."Zhuang Xiaowei didn't press further, but only patted Bo Yan's shoulder with a coquettish smile and said gently, "Young Master Bo, I like your honesty."Bo Yan frowned and said nothing in reply.They went to the same French restaurant as before, and Zhuang Xiaowei led him to the same table at the window. From there, she could see everything that was going on outside.After ordering their food, Bo Yan cut to the chase. He looked into Zhuang Xiaowei's eyes and said directly, "Miss Zhuang, can you tell me more about what you said earlier over the phone?""About what? You mean the project?" Picking up her glass, Zhuang Xiaowei took a sip and blinked at Bo Yan.Bo Yan nodded and waited patiently for her answer."Well, there's nothing much to say, really. You know how uptight my brother is, and he never does anyone any favors. However, he has a soft spot, and that's me. He always indulges me, so he'll do anythin
