Can't!
Can't!
Now, whenever he thought about the scene that Meng Sheng would throw herself into the arms of another man in the future, and they would have nothing to do with each other and would never meet again, he could not bear the thought.
The suffocation and pain would engulf him like a tide.
If his mother went to jail, he would most likely become a discarded child of the business community and would have nothing left.
All this is because of Meng Sheng.
This marriage is the last bargaining chip he holds.
If he lost this, he would really have nothing.
So what if she was a whistleblower, so what if she deceived him and used him?
It doesn't matter.
None of this matters.
He can be self-consistent, help her give reasonable reasons, and then try to understand and tolerate her.
The most important thing now is that he can't live without Meng Sheng and can't leave Meng Sheng.
He wanted to lock Meng Sheng by his side and have her belong only to him for the rest of her life.
Yes, that's it.
He supported himself with his palms, slowly stood up from the ground, and sat back in the chair.
In his chaotic and messy mind, the only thing left was the thought "I can't lose Meng Sheng". What kind of reasons and excuses should he find for her, and how should he keep her by his side?
He couldn't think of any of these things, and the pain in his heart didn't lessen in the slightest.
Time passed quickly, yet it seemed very long.
By the time he emerged from the complex and dark abyss, the electronic clock hanging on the office wall had shown 1:20.
Looking out from the floor-to-ceiling windows, the outline of the entire city is reflected in the gorgeous neon lights.
Shang Boyu raised his hand mechanically, hesitated, picked up the mobile phone on the table and turned on the screen.
I just realized that Meng Sheng sent me a WeChat message four hours ago.
[What time did you work overtime? Have you had dinner? ]
He was stunned, his eyes dark and unclear.
He had thought a lot since he sat there in the afternoon, but now he couldn't seem to remember what he had thought about specifically.
There is only confusion and heartache.
When I got back home after calming down, it was already after two o'clock.
The whole villa fell into silence.
He looked at the layout of the room and the familiar decorations, feeling extremely heavy.
The lights on the second floor were not on, so he walked up and turned on the sensor light in the corridor.
He wandered at the door of the master bedroom for a while, then gently pressed the door handle.
The light from the corridor seeped into the dark room. He walked to the edge of the bed and looked at the peaceful sleeping face on the bed in the faint light.
He pursed his lips and his shoulders slumped.
At this moment, she suddenly realized that since Meng Sheng was the whistleblower, asking her uncle and elder brother for help was just a trick to deceive him.
He laughed at himself.
The hatred that split open in my chest lingered in my heart, but was soon covered by his strong and sincere love.
Even though this relationship was mixed with many considerations of interests, he could not convince himself to stop loving her.

Meng Sheng also worked overtime last night and didn't come back until after nine o'clock.
A busy day left her exhausted. After taking a shower and symbolically sending a WeChat message to Shang Boyu, she threw herself on the soft and comfortable big bed and fell asleep.
When I woke up the next day, it was already half past eight.
After the opening ceremony of the joint exhibition, the subsequent exhibitions were open to ordinary visitors, so there was no need for her to keep an eye on them all the time.
After washing up, changing clothes and going downstairs, I smelled the fragrance coming from the kitchen.
Shang Boyu walked out of the kitchen carrying breakfast as usual.
The only thing that was different was that slightly pale face, and the eyes that looked over at her were filled with a complexity that made her heart sink.
This look seemed different from the one from the previous two nights.
She frowned slightly, walked to the table, and asked with concern, "Why do you look so bad? Didn't you sleep well last night? What time did you come back?"
Shang Boyu heard this, perhaps because she knew the truth, her concerned look now seemed to be covered with a veil of falsehood and disguise.
It made him feel unreal.
But the emotion in his eyes was soon covered by tenderness, and he whispered, "I came back at two o'clock. There was a lot of work at the company, so I came back late. Are you going to the art museum later?"
"Go, but don't be too anxious." Meng Sheng pulled out a chair and sat down.
"Yeah. Let's have breakfast first."
Shang Boyu responded, peeled an egg for her, and picked up a shrimp dumpling. "Eat more. You were tired from the opening ceremony a few days ago. Pay more attention to rest these days. If you can leave the art museum matters to Minister Zhou and Qiao Na, leave them to them."
For some reason, Meng Sheng caught a hint of something unusual in his tone.
Obviously he was just as gentle and focused, his voice full of patience and concern.
but……
It's just different.
There was silence at the table for a while as she ate her breakfast in silence, pondering his different feelings.
Suddenly, Meng Sheng heard Shang Boyu's gentle, but slightly nervous and expectant voice, "Shengsheng, do you love me?"
Meng Sheng was stunned, his hands hanging in the air, looking up at him.
He has asked this question before.
But usually not at the dinner table.
She chuckled. "Have you become stupid from working overtime? Why are you asking this for no reason?"
"I want to know." Shang Boyu glanced at her with a serious look.
Meng Sheng looked at the servant who was wiping the table and vases in the living room, and glared at him pretending to be embarrassed.
"There are other people here. Be more restrained and eat quickly. The wontons in front of you are getting cold."
She changed the subject.
Shang Boyu's eyes dimmed, and it felt like a saw was stuck in his heart, pulling at it.
Perhaps because the pain lasted from yesterday afternoon until midnight, he was now a little numb.
He lowered his eyelids, trying his best to hide the sadness in his eyes, and the wontons in the bowl seemed tasteless.
These wontons are what she said she wanted to eat yesterday morning.
He didn't sleep all night last night and couldn't sleep.
I got up at around six o'clock, washed up quickly, prepared the filling, and made wontons for her.
He tried hard to swallow the bitterness in his throat, his eyes flickered slightly, and he spoke hoarsely again, "Shengsheng, let's... have another child. This time, I promise to take good care of him, okay?"
Meng Sheng looked into his deep peach blossom eyes and saw desire and hope in them.
But the emotion on her face faded, as if some sad memories were brought back, and she looked away evasively, "Let's watch again."
Shang Boyu's heart skipped a beat.
He knew that it was a bit inappropriate to say this now, after all, Meng Sheng had just had a miscarriage some time ago.
If she has been in confinement for a full month, then she is still a few days away from being released.
But he was too panicked and unsure now, and he urgently needed her attitude to calm down.
Her reaction now made her feel guilty and a little uneasy.
It's really not the right time to get pregnant.
Is there any other way to keep her by my side?
He lowered his eyelids again, admitted his mistake softly, and asked her not to be angry.
Meng Sheng always felt that Shang Boyu was a little creepy.
She shuddered at the thought of what could have caused such a change in him.
She had a vague guess in her mind.
But I'm still not sure.
After breakfast, she didn't let him send her off. She called the driver and left the Moonlight Villa.
The morning rush hour had already passed and the car had been running smoothly all the way. When they were almost at the art museum, the phone in her bag suddenly rang with a text message alert.
bite!
Meng Sheng was stunned, and took it out to read: [Shang Boyu has already found out that you are the whistleblower of Yueqifang, be careful! ]
