Tang Xuerou fell in love with Zhou Cheng at first sight and began to flirt with him. However, Zhou Cheng, being a clueless guy, was oblivious. After he found out that Tang Xuerou liked him, he began to distance himself from her, suppress her, and bully her, which led to the series of events that followed.

So here's the question: if she didn't want the ending to be like in "The CEO", and instead didn't invite Tang Xuerou on her birthday, thus preventing them from meeting, would the subsequent events have been avoided?

However, this novel features her and Zhou Cheng as the main characters. Even if Tang Xuerou comes and meets Zhou Cheng, she may not necessarily fall in love with him at first sight. So, should she invite him or not?

Tang Xuerou must have sensed something when she distanced herself from her without inviting her.

Qiao Nansheng was conflicted, not noticing that Tang Xuerou's eyes lit up even more after hearing her words. "I think tomorrow will do. The old man helped me a lot last time, and I haven't thanked him yet. Since he's coming tomorrow and I'm free, I'll come to see you tomorrow."

After Tang Xuerou finished speaking, as if she knew Qiao Nansheng would refuse, she glanced at the time and said without giving her a chance to refuse, "Oh dear, it's getting late. I have something to do, so I'll head back first. Nansheng, see you tomorrow."

After saying that, Tang Xuerou turned around and got into the BMW, disappearing from Qiao Nansheng's sight in no time.

She remained in the same position, standing there motionless, like a sculpture.

Liu Xu came over and pulled her aside: "Madam, what's wrong?"

"Damn it." Qiao Nansheng cursed, his expression quite unpleasant.

Tang Xuerou, that scheming woman, didn't give her a chance to refuse at all, and made her decision in just a few words.

Ha, you just say you want to come, did you even ask your great-aunt's opinion?

I'm the lady of the house, and you can forget about getting in if I don't let you in!

Qiao Nansheng thought viciously, then roared, "Where's Sheng Zhuo? Why isn't he here yet? He said he'd be here within ten minutes, and it's been fifteen minutes and he's still nowhere to be seen! I'll dock his pay when we get back!"

Liu Xu hugged her shopping bag tightly and stood silently without saying a word.

Ten minutes later, a Rolls-Royce Phantom with license plate number "6688" stopped by the roadside. Qiao Nansheng recognized the driver as Sheng Zhuo and strode over to get into the car.

"You just wait," she threatened Sheng Zhuo.

Sheng Zhuo looked completely innocent, not understanding what he had done.

Liu Xu stuffed her shopping bags into the trunk and quickly got into the car. Glancing at the back seat, she whispered to Sheng Zhuo, "You said you'd be there in ten minutes, but you were late. Your wife is furious and she's going to dock your pay."

"..." Sheng Zhuo was speechless. Was it really necessary for Madam to get so angry over such a small matter? He didn't think so.

-

It was already 10 p.m. when Qiao Nansheng returned to Shuixie Yunlan. She had been shopping all day and was sore all over. She asked Liu Xu to put her things in her room and then went to take a bath.

She was watching a drama while eating the pickled chicken feet she had bought. Just as the male and female leads were about to kiss, a phone call came in. It was from Zhou Cheng.

Qiao Nansheng didn't want to talk to him and refused without thinking, but her hands were wet and she accidentally answered the call.

Okay, I'll answer the call. It's not a big deal. As long as she hangs up or doesn't say anything, it's fine.

only!

Why did he make a video call?

Startled, Qiao Nansheng threw her phone to the floor, exasperated, "Why are you calling?"

After asking the question, she looked down at herself. Thank goodness, she had been playing with the foam in the bath and had covered her private parts, so that guy probably hadn't seen anything.

Qiao Nansheng comforted herself, and her wildly beating heart gradually calmed down.
