Sober and beautiful, my husband and son begged for my forgiveness on their knees.

Since the initial draft of the new Chinese style had been finalized, Ning Yao did not go to Lu's Group today, but went directly back to Suixing Company.

She spent most of the month at Lu's Group, and returning to her own company gave her an indescribable sense of peace.

Xiaoxiao and Wen'an were overjoyed to see her return. They chatted with her for a long time, sharing even trivial matters like the company next door changing employees.

Zhong Yunche smiled and stepped forward, noticing that she was still wearing the watch he had given her on her wrist, and his smile deepened.

"Your watch matches your outfit perfectly today."

Hearing his praise, Ning Yao smiled and said, "Manager Zhong has a good eye; I'm also benefiting from it."

After what happened last night, Ning Yao has come to understand some things.

She didn't want to limit herself because of Lu Jingmo, or reject other people's kindness and concern just to avoid trouble.

Although she has no feelings for Zhong Yunche now, as Zhong Yunche said, it is his business if he likes her, and she doesn't need to feel burdened by it.

Let's be open and honest with each other, and leave the rest to time.

"Wow!" Xiao Xiao's eyes lit up instantly as she caught something in their conversation. "Looks like someone secretly gave me a gift last night!"

Wen An laughed along with him.

Zhong Yunche pointed at Xiaoxiao and said, "You really don't give people any face at all."

The atmosphere in the entire office was relaxed, warm, and harmonious.

Because the new product that Lu's Group is about to launch is going to be a hit, Ning Yao immediately gathered everyone to discuss the upcoming Shattered Star new product.

The discussion could last all day.

Although there were disagreements along the way, a consensus was eventually reached.

Ning Yao had been talking for half an hour and felt her throat was burning. Just as she was about to pour herself a glass of water, Zhong Yunche placed a glass of warm water in front of her.

"If it's hot, tell me."

Ning Yao was slightly taken aback, then smiled and thanked her.

The temperature at the entrance was just right.

Because of her experience living in an orphanage as a child, she personally prefers to drink water that is a little cooler.

I didn't expect Zhong Yunche to notice even this detail.

He is indeed a very meticulous person.

If the person I first met hadn't been Lu Jingmo, but someone like him, would the ending of my past life have been different?

pity……

Lu Group.

What's the progress on the design drafts?

Yang Qian came in to report on his work and was suddenly asked a question by Lu Jingmo.

He noticed that Lu Jingmo was in a bad mood and reported truthfully, "Master Merlin's assistant, Wen Zhao, said that the optimized details will be sent to you for review before you leave work today."

Lu Jingmo checked the time; there was still an hour left. "Tell them to hurry; I have something to do today."

Yang Qian immediately relayed the message.

Soon, Master Merlin came to explain the details of the optimization to him personally.

Lu Jingmo's expression was calm. Only at the end of their conversation did he casually ask, "Didn't Ning Yao come today?"

Master Merlin saw through his meaning: "She didn't come. She said the first draft was fine and she didn't need to be involved in the follow-up work, so she didn't come."

Lu Jingmo's cold expression froze, and he looked at him with a piercing gaze, "Who gave you permission?"

Master Merlin shrugged. "I assumed you all agreed to it."

Lu Jingmo clenched his fist tightly, his expression as cold and hard as iron. "That's not true. Tell Ning Yao to come to work tomorrow. If she dares to refuse, tell her she'll face the consequences!"

After getting off work, Ning Yao received a call from Master Merlin.

She refused without hesitation, saying, "I'm not an employee of Lu's Group. Besides, I've already finished my work, and I won't go back."

She had been worried that Lu Jingmo, that scoundrel, would go back on his word, so she had kept a lot of evidence and even recorded their conversations.

If Lu Jingmo dares to go back on his word and cause her trouble, she'll throw these things in his face!

"Oh, Yao, I can't stand being in the office even when you're not here. Where is your company located? If you don't mind, I'll come and visit you another day."

Ning Yao was naturally pleased to hear that he had offered to come, "Okay, you can come anytime."

After exchanging pleasantries for a while, Ning Yao hung up the phone.

As soon as she sat down on the sofa, she saw the jigsaw puzzle that Lu Mingjin had given her.

Remembering how he still protected the gift box like a precious treasure even though it was broken last night, she felt a pang of sadness.

Looking back, I was in the wrong last night.

Although he used to make char siu, there is a noticeable change this time.

Why don't you invite him out for a meal to make it up to him?

She checked the time; it was only six o'clock.

The Lu Group has been busy with various projects lately, so Lu Jingmo is definitely not home. It's perfect timing for her to go over now.

She drove to the Lu family villa.

Because news of her divorce from Lu Jingmo hadn't spread recently, the villa security didn't stop her and let her through directly.

As soon as she drove near the villa, she could hear laughter coming from inside, even through the high wall.

"Haha, Auntie, your rabbit isn't as pretty as the little sheep I made. The rabbit's eyes aren't even aligned."

Lu Mingjin smiled very happily.

"Oh dear, I told you my handiwork isn't good, and you still laugh at me," Ning Yan retorted softly, her voice full of laughter.

Ning Yao suddenly lost the desire to invite Lu Mingjin and parked the car on the side of the road.

As if possessed, she got out of the car and walked to a gap to look into the villa.

The sky wasn't completely dark yet, but seven or eight paper lanterns had already been lit on the Lu family's lawn.

They were all animals.

Lu Mingjin was still holding a nearly finished little goat in her hand.

It feels like they're trying to put together the twelve zodiac animals.

Her gaze shifted, and she noticed a dark figure beside Ning Yan, causing her to pause.

It was Lu Jingmo, wearing a black shirt.

Although he didn't participate in the game and was busy handling things on his phone, he sat cross-legged between the two of them and didn't leave.

When he saw Ning Yan almost trip over while she was playfully fighting with Lu Mingjin, he even reached out to help her up.

The two stared at each other, their eyes locked in a silent exchange.

She silently curled her lips. How could she be so presumptuous as to think that Lu Mingjin would be upset by her misunderstanding and would truly reconcile with her?

They are such a good family of three, I, as an outsider, am really superfluous.

"Who's there!"

The bodyguard saw someone secretly watching the young master and his younger brother on the lawn through the surveillance camera and immediately spoke up.

Lu Mingjin and Ning Yan, who were playing around, immediately looked towards the door.

After finishing the last matter, Lu Jingmo stood up and instructed his bodyguard to check on things.

Soon, the bodyguard returned and said that the person was gone.

Lu Jingmo found it strange that no one had ever dared to spy on the Lu family's every move.

"Pull up the surveillance footage and take a look."

But because it was dark all around and the streetlights were off, they couldn't see each other's faces.

Judging from the blurry outline of her figure, it was a woman.

Lu Jingmo reminded the bodyguards to increase patrols around the villa and not give such suspicious people any more chances to get close.

Ning Yan looked at that figure, but a sense of crisis rose in her heart.

Lu Jingmo and Ning Yao had only been divorced for a short time, yet a woman was already throwing herself into his arms!

Looks like she needs to speed things up!
