Ni An bit her lip, fidgeted with her knuckles, and whispered, "Sister Su, I know everything."
Mingyao was even angrier, her eyes filled with resentment as she looked at Ni An.
"Since you know this, why are you still in contact with him?"
“I…” Ni An couldn’t utter a coherent sentence for a long time, clearly feeling guilty.
The greater the expectation, the greater the disappointment. Mingyao's heart sank to the bottom, and she felt deceived.
Ni An looked at Ming Yao with red eyes, tears streaming down her face.
"I'm sorry, I..."
"I will explain it clearly."
Mingyao's lips twitched twice, and she said with a cold smile, "Now that things have come to this, what other explanation do you want?"
At this point, any further explanation would be nothing but sophistry.
Mingyao felt a surge of rage rising in her chest.
Anger surged and burned fiercely, almost consuming her reason.
Mingyao took a deep breath, trying to calm herself down. "I need to calm down."
"Sister Su..."
Before Ni An could even open his mouth, Ming Yao had already turned and left with a stern face.
As Ni An watched her retreating figure, he suddenly felt all the strength drain from his body.
She swayed, and finally collapsed into the chair, unable to hold on any longer.
Ring ring—
The phone rang again. Ni An absentmindedly took out the phone and pressed the answer button.
Lin Bin's concerned voice came from the other end of the phone, "Honey, why did you suddenly hang up?"
Ni An didn't answer, but covered her mouth and started crying.
Lin Bin was silent for a moment, then heard Ni An's sobbing voice. He asked in a panic, "Baby, did you and Su Xueya have a fight?"
After Lin Bin pointed it out, Ni An's suppressed emotions surged like a tidal wave, instantly engulfing her.
"Waaah, honey, what should I do?"
"Sister Su is my only friend, and I don't want to be separated from her."
"But she doesn't want me to be with my husband."
Torn between Lin Bin and Ming Yao, Ni An found herself in a dilemma.
She was unwilling to choose one over the other.
After a moment of silence, Lin Bin suggested, "Honey, Su Xueya is more important than me."
“But,” Ni An said, choking back tears, “if I choose Sister Su, we will have to separate.”
"Sister Su doesn't like you and can't tolerate us being together."
She lowered her head and picked at the barbs on her hands.
Lin Bin said gently, "Didn't she want us to break up?"
"Why don't we just do as she says and break up?"
Ni An immediately raised her head and refused outright: "No, I can't be separated from you!"
With a sob in her voice, she pleaded, "Husband, we can think of other ways."
"Waaah, I don't want to be separated from you."
Ni An cried pitifully, and Lin Bin quickly comforted her, "Silly girl."
"Don't worry."
"I haven't finished speaking yet."
Hearing Lin Bin say this, Ni An finally stopped crying: "Then what do you mean?"
Lin Bin lowered his voice and whispered, "We can put on an act in front of her and make her mistakenly believe that we've broken up."
"As long as she doesn't know, we can just contact each other secretly, right?"
Ni An blinked, and a glimmer of light appeared in her tear-filled eyes.
Yes, how come she never thought of such a good idea before?
She lowered the volume on her phone and began discussing her plan to "fall out" with Lin Bin.
Mingyao didn't return to the front desk until the afternoon when work hours started.
She could only stand expressionless beside Ni An, staring straight ahead.
From the moment Mingyao entered the company, she didn't glance at Ni An once.
Ni An twisted her fingers, secretly glancing at Ming Yao out of the corner of her eye.
To get closer to Mingyao and to get her attention, Ni An moved two steps closer to her.
Mingyao subtly moved to the side, clearly resisting any contact with her.
Mingyao's unintentional little gesture was like a steel needle, piercing deeply into Ni An's heart.
"Sister Su."
Ni An's dark eyes were misty, her eye rims were red, and tears kept welling up in her eyes.
Mingyao glanced at her dismissively and asked coldly, "What?"
"I have already broken up with Lin Bin."
She continued, "I called at noon because of the children."
Mingyao frowned, still somewhat skeptical of what Ni An had said.
She smiled radiantly when she spoke to Lin Bin at noon; only a woman deeply in love would show such a smile.
Seeing that Mingyao did not reply for a long time, Ni An raised her head with a slight worry.
The moment he looked up, his gaze met Mingyao's sharp eyes.
She lowered her head as if she had been electrocuted, not daring to breathe.
"Then what?"
Mingyao asked in a cold voice, her tone completely flat.
Tears streamed down Ni An's face as she looked at Ming Yao with a mixture of grievance and sadness. "Sister Su, can you give me another chance?"
"I really know I was wrong, and I really haven't made up with Lin Bin."
Ni An's expression was sincere, but Ming Yao couldn't convince herself to believe her.
Ni An stared at her without looking away, tears streaming down her face. In no time, she was crying so hard that her face was streaked with tears, making her look pitiful.
Her aggrieved appearance deeply touched Mingyao's heart.
Just as her emotions were about to take over, Mingyao steeled her heart and turned her head away.
If nothing really happened between Ni An and Lin Bin, they would have explained it clearly by noon. Why did it take until now?
Reason prevailed again, and Mingyao said, "There's no need to explain. Explaining is just covering up."
Ni An burst into tears, repeatedly apologizing to Ming Yao.
Her attitude was incredibly sincere; she was practically ready to raise three fingers and swear an oath to heaven.
