Fang Yu pinched Zheng Yao's waist in displeasure at her lack of cooperation, causing Zheng Yao to cry out in pain.
"How should I know? You're asking me, who am I supposed to ask?"
Zheng Yao was extremely flustered, and she paced anxiously back and forth in her office.
"What should I do if Han Shanyu really finds out something?"
Fang Yu rubbed his temples, looking like he was on the verge of exploding. He was already trying his best to control his emotions when he spoke to Zheng Yao.
“If it’s found out, it’s found out. It was something you were going to do anyway, so you should have considered that it might be discovered one day.”
Hearing him say that, Zheng Yao was instantly enraged. She slammed her hand on the table and said furiously:
"What do you mean by 'it was originally my turn to do it'? Didn't you say you had the opportunity to ask me if I wanted to do it?"
She clearly remembered the way Fang Yu looked when he asked her the question, and he also told her that if this succeeded, Song Mai would definitely be kicked out of the company.
The temptation was too great for her, and Fang Yu repeatedly assured her that no one would find out, which is why she took action.
But things have developed in a way that has exceeded everyone's expectations. She never expected that even Han Shanyu would start investigating.
If the investigation continues like this, it won't be long before they find out. At that point, not only will all her efforts be in vain, but she will also face dismissal and being blacklisted.
Fang Yu leaned back in his chair and glanced at her impatiently.
"I'm just telling you that you have this opportunity, but the decision is yours. It's your final decision to take action, and it's your decision to do it yourself. Why are you scared now?"
Zheng Yao was seething with anger; she hadn't expected Fang Yu to turn his back on her at this moment.
She gritted her teeth in anger: "Don't forget, if I'm found out, you won't escape either!"
Fang Yu took out a cigarette and put it in his mouth, his eyes full of indifference as he looked at Zheng Yao.
It seemed he didn't take her words to heart at all.
"You did it, what does it have to do with me?"
"you!"
Fang Yu sneered: "Go ahead and tell them I did it. Do you have any evidence? How can you prove it was me if I don't admit it? Everyone in the company knows that you're the only one who's always at odds with Song Mai. I have no grudge against her. Even if you go out and say it, do you think anyone will believe you?"
"Shameless!"
Zheng Yao couldn't help but curse, and turned to slam the door and leave.
But thinking about everything she might face next, she gritted her teeth and suppressed her discomfort, then turned back to beg Fang Yu.
"For the sake of our relationship, please help me one more time. Besides, even though I did it, I've also helped you get rid of a worry. Don't you also dislike Song Mai?"
She sat on Fang Yu's lap and offered him a kiss, trying to use her beauty to soften the man's heart.
Fang Yu remained silent, his face so gloomy it seemed as if water could drip from it.
He knew all too well that once Han Shanyu got serious, even if he wanted to protect her, he would be powerless to do so.
Fang Yu, however, couldn't understand why Han Shanyu did this.
And why did Han Shanyu suddenly start investigating this matter after going to Yunxing several times? Could it be related to Yunxing?
But no matter how hard he racked his brains, he couldn't figure out what kind of relationship Yunxing Group could have with that woman, Song Mai.
Surely Song Mai isn't related to anyone in Yunxing?
He didn't believe it; the woman was incredibly shabby and didn't seem like someone who could know any important people.
Fang Yu's silence further enraged Zheng Yao.
"What do you mean by not saying anything? Don't think I'm helpless without you!"
After saying that, Zheng Yao stormed off.
That evening, Song Mai meticulously prepared a table full of food and spent a fortune to buy a bottle of red wine and some candles. She let the wine breathe in advance and made all the necessary arrangements in preparation for her husband's return.
When Chu Xing pushed open the door, Song Mai was standing at the bar, wearing a bright red fitted halter dress, garnishing her steak with freshly sliced lemon slices.
The woman's beautiful hair was tied up high, with stray strands falling casually from her forehead to her ears. Her lips were naturally red without any makeup, giving her a languid yet alluring look.
The bright red dress perfectly accentuated her figure, making her skin appear even whiter and her figure more graceful and slender.
A hint of amazement flashed in Chu Xing's eyes.
When Song Mai saw him return, she smiled gently. Two completely different qualities, charm and elegance, coexisted in her, and Chu Xing's heartstrings were touched involuntarily.
"Please sit down."
She placed the decorated steak on the table and picked up a small pair of scissors to carefully trim the candle wick.
Chu Xing took off his black suit jacket and hung it in the entryway, rolled up the sleeves of his white shirt slightly, washed his hands, and then sat down at the dining table.
"This is……"
"Let's celebrate."
This dress was bought by Song Mai when she graduated from university to attend the graduation party, and it has been sitting at the bottom of a box ever since.
It wasn't a brand name item, nor was it very expensive; it was just a simple dress, and after a while, she forgot about it.
She only noticed the dress because the weather was getting colder and she had folded her summer clothes into the closet.
Thinking that she hadn't worn it for many years, she tried it on to see if she could still fit into it. Unexpectedly, wearing the dress again after so many years gave her a completely different look than when she wore it to graduate.
Since she was already dressed, she simply put on some makeup.
Song Mai picked up the red wine and poured it for herself and Chu Xing.
The liquid in the glass appeared even more crimson under the flickering candlelight, its shimmering color and intoxicating allure making one feel slightly tipsy even after only a few sips.
Song Mai took the initiative to clink glasses with the man, then took a small sip of the wine in her glass. The red liquid flowed down her crimson lips, as if the two were competing to see who was more beautiful.
The man's eyes darkened, and an indescribable emotion seemed to be slowly growing in his depths.
When will you start work?
Song Mai's smile never stopped for a moment.
"Next Monday."
She put down her wine glass, picked up her knife and fork to cut her steak, her eyes lowered, and her long, feathery eyelashes cast a small shadow under her eyes.
When she looked up again, a champagne-colored velvet box was pushed in front of her.
"This is?"
Song Mai accepted it with some doubt.
Chu Xing took a small sip of the red wine in his glass.
"It was a welcome gift for joining the company. I was planning to ask you out for dinner tonight, but I didn't expect you had already prepared it."
"This might be what it means to be in sync with someone."
The woman winked at him playfully and opened the square box without hesitation.
In the middle of the box lay a silver-white bracelet, simple yet sophisticated in design, set with a row of tiny diamonds, and a teardrop-shaped main diamond at the very center, giving it an elegant and luxurious look.
Song Mai was immediately captivated by his beauty, and that single glance was enough to reveal the man's refined taste.
"This is too valuable, I cannot accept it."
