When Gu Yueji arrived at the factory and saw Zhong Xuyang standing guard at the door of Xiao Yao's office, she froze for several seconds.
Didn't they say they were breaking up? What's going on?
Zhong Xuyang greeted her first, "Yueji, you're back."
Gu Yueji walked over. "Zhong Xuyang, what are you doing here?"
He smiled faintly and said bluntly, "I'm pursuing my wife."
Gu Yueji raised an eyebrow. The plot had already progressed this far? How much had she missed?
Xiao Yao happened to hear this as she came out, and glared at him unhappily, "When are you leaving?"
Instead of answering, Zhong Xuyang asked, "When are you going to pay me back?"
Xiao Yao was taken aback; she never expected him to urge her to repay the money.
In the early stages of opening the factory, she invested all her savings. Later, due to a lack of orders, the factory became unprofitable, and she and Gu Yueji had to invest more money. Gu Yueji also had a profitable online store and a husband, so she had zero income and couldn't come up with the money immediately. She originally planned to ask her family for money, but unexpectedly, Zhong Xuyang transferred some money to her bank card first.
She hasn't paid back a single penny of the 300,000 yuan.
Xiao Yao's gaze darkened. "If I pay you back, will you leave?"
Zhong Xuyang answered without hesitation, "No."
Xiao Yao's eyes widened. "Then why are you pressuring me to pay you back!"
Zhong Xuyang looked completely innocent. "I didn't urge you to pay me back. I don't care if you don't pay me back, as long as you don't kick me out."
"You're interfering with my work!"
"I didn't make a sound or try to talk to you, so how did it bother you?"
They each did their own work every day. He ate with her when she ate, and he left work with her when she left work. He took her to her rented apartment and then went back to his hotel. He really didn't mean to disturb her normal work and life by staying there.
However, Xiao Yao didn't think so. He was a tall man of 1.86 meters who stood at the door of her office every day. She could see him no matter where he looked up or down. He followed her everywhere. How could it not have an impact?
Xiao Yao was so angry she wanted to swear, but Zhong Xuyang, though he didn't understand, still comforted her, "Okay, don't be angry. Yueji is back. You two can go inside and talk slowly. I'll treat you to lunch."
"Who wants to eat with you!"
"I found a great barbecue restaurant. Didn't you say you wanted to eat barbecue yesterday?"
Yesterday, she was chatting casually with a girl in the office, and he overheard her. This guy usually sits here looking busy and focused on his work, yet he still had the audacity to eavesdrop.
"I want to eat barbecue, I'll go by myself, you don't need to treat me, you should hurry back to Yun City!"
However, Zhong Xuyang's phone rang. He picked up his phone, gestured with his chin towards her, and said softly, as if to a child who was disturbing his work, "You two go ahead and talk. I'll get back to work."
Xiao Yao was so angry that she was fuming. Gu Yueji pulled her back to the office. She sat down in the chair, looked up at the door, and then angrily walked over and closed the door.
"What's going on between you two?"
Gu Yueji crossed her arms and looked at Xiao Yao like a cat with its fur standing on end.
"We broke up, but he never said he disagreed. Who knows what crazy thing he's doing now!"
"Why did you break up? Are you really not pregnant?"
"My period is coming right now, I'm not pregnant."
She didn't know if it was because of the busy work and irregular schedule at the factory, or because Zhong Xuyang's words about getting married when she got pregnant put a lot of pressure on her, but her period played a joke on her this month and came late.
"Are you really going to break up?" Gu Yueji leaned against the table, looking down at Xiao Yao.
Xiao Yao was taken aback by her gaze. "What kind of look is that? Why don't you believe I want to break up?"
Gu Yueji wanted to roll her eyes at her.
Last time she said she wanted to break up with him and come to G City to start a business with him, but then she told her she was pregnant. Just when she thought he was going home to get married and have a baby, he said he wanted to break up with her again. How can she believe him?
"Why did you break up this time?" Gu Yueji went straight to the point.
Xiao Yao said irritably, "Lin Wenwen came to our door."
Gu Yueji was taken aback. "What does she want with you?"
Didn't Zhong Xuyang and she break up more than a year ago?
Xiao Yao's face darkened; she was upset every time this was brought up. "She said she's pregnant, and the child is Zhong Xuyang's."
"What?!"
Seeing Gu Yueji's shocked expression, Xiao Yao subconsciously explained on Zhong Xuyang's behalf, "Zhong Xuyang explained that the child is not his; it's a misunderstanding."
"How do you know it isn't? You believe everything he says?" Gu Yueji felt that Xiao Yao was a bit love-struck when it came to Zhong Xuyang.
“Lin Wenwen’s best friend was there at the time, and she explained it to me.”
It must have been Zhong Xuyang's request. Zhao Yanni added her on WeChat a couple of days ago and explained the Lin Wenwen situation, saying that she had asked Zhong Xuyang for help, which is why he took Lin Wenwen to the hotel. She stayed in the hotel room the entire time, from when Zhong Xuyang brought Lin Wenwen to the room until he left, and only left after Liu Yang arrived. She also specifically emphasized to her that Zhong Xuyang only helped her carry Lin Wenwen to the bed, and that they had no other contact.
"So you forgave him?"
"No, even if nothing happened, he still lied to me. Why wouldn't he admit that he met with Lin Wenwen? Why didn't he dare to tell me? Doesn't that mean he has something to hide?"
Gu Yueji knew that Lin Wenwen was a knot in Xiao Yao's heart that couldn't be untied in a short time.
So what do you plan to do now?
“I don’t know either. I do owe Zhong Xuyang money, but I don’t want to have a falling out with him, so I’ll just keep doing my work. He probably won’t last long before he leaves.”
After graduating, Zhong Xuyang went home to learn how to manage his family's machinery factory from his father. Now his father has handed over a significant portion of the work to him, and he is constantly on the phone every day. He can't stay here forever.
