After a wealthy woman went bankrupt, her live-in husband became her sugar daddy.

"As for President Jiang's sudden appearance, I don't know why, but he just voted normally. If you have any objections to his vote, you can ask him directly, instead of confronting me in public and deliberately saying ambiguous things."

Seeing my righteous words, Xiaoyu's face immediately fell, her displeasure written all over her face.

"That's all just your side of the story. Who knows what's really going on behind the scenes?"

Seeing that she was still persistent, I disregarded our feelings and said some harsh things.

"We're all colleagues, there's no need to be a sour grapes. I got first place because of my own ability. If you're not satisfied, you can participate in the competition. Don't gossip in public like this. You have no manners at all."

After I retorted, Xiaoyu's chest heaved violently, clearly angered by me. She stopped arguing with me and turned to leave.

In order to boost sales, I continued live streaming.

Because of the dance competition, my popularity has been steadily increasing, and the number of viewers in my live stream has doubled.

Seeing my popularity rising, I enthusiastically interacted with netizens.

However, at that moment, the live stream was suddenly forced to stop.

I was somewhat surprised, and when I looked up, I was met with Lin Nan's angry face.

Before I could even ask anything, Lin Nan threw a phone in front of me and said coldly, "Do you really want to cause trouble for the company?"

I didn't understand what she meant, and subconsciously looked at my phone.

I just realized that I had inexplicably become a trending topic.

The trending topic, however, was a criticism of my arrogance.

My mind went completely blank for a moment, and I quickly clicked on the trending topics to see the details.

I found several videos posted inside, and the text in them was all criticizing me, saying that I deliberately made sarcastic remarks about my senior, Xiaoyu, because I won first place in the dance competition.

Just as I was checking, Lin Nan's dissatisfied voice rang out again. She looked at me coldly and questioned, "Can you give me a satisfactory answer about this trending topic?"

Seeing the comments from netizens in the comment section, my heart sank even further.

I tried to calm myself down and quickly explained to him.

"That's not how it happened. Xiaoyu deliberately provoked me and made a veiled attack on me in public. I just retorted."

Lin Nan didn't care about my answer. She said nonchalantly, "No matter what the reason, this matter has affected the company, and you need to take responsibility for it."

I felt indignant and unwilling to accept it, so I argued with her.

"Does Xiaoyu really have no fault at all in this matter? She clearly did it on purpose..."

Lin Nan ignored what I was saying and warned me again, "Gu Mo, don't you understand that your repeated trouble-making will only bring negative impacts to the company?"

One sentence shut me down completely.

This is indeed the case.

But that wasn't my intention.

Seeing that I fell silent, Lin Nan added, "This is the last time. If there's a next time, you're fired."

Upon hearing this, I couldn't help but feel wronged.

I lowered my head, and as I looked down, I noticed that Li Nan was wearing a women's diamond ring on her finger.

Was it a gift from Jiang Yichen?

I felt a chill run down my spine.

My initial intention to continue explaining was immediately abandoned.

After she left, I got up and went to the break room to calm myself down.

What I didn't expect was that the more I tried to avoid a certain person, the more likely they were to appear.

When I saw Jiang Yichen, I turned to leave.

But he suddenly called out to me.

"Gu Mo".

I tried to escape quickly, but before I could take more than a few steps, he grabbed my wrist and dragged me into the tea room.

His sudden action caught me off guard, leaving me no choice but to passively follow him.

He cornered me against the wall, making it impossible for me to move.

I couldn't help but get angry, and glared at him as I said, "What are you doing? Let me go."

Jiang Yichen pressed me even closer, his hands unconsciously wrapping around my waist.

After a few seconds, he spoke in a deep voice, "Why are you hiding from me?"

Looking at Jiang Yichen, who was so close to me, I didn't know what to feel.

He seemed to care about me, but then he gave Lin Nan a diamond ring.

Seeing that I didn't answer for a while, Jiang Yichen hugged me tighter and repeated himself.

His voice pulled me back to reality, and without thinking, I pushed him away forcefully.

Perhaps caught off guard, Jiang Yichen bumped into the table. He frowned slightly, seemingly displeased with my actions.

But I didn't care and retorted, "Don't you know why I ran away?"

Now that he has a fiancée, shouldn't I, as his ex-wife, keep my distance from him?

Jiang Yichen's brows furrowed even more, and his voice gradually deepened.

"Gu Mo, just say what you have to say."

I couldn't help but feel mocked, and I retorted directly, "Jiang Yichen, what are you pretending for now?"

Why didn't I see him being so hypocritical before?

Seeing my retort, he moved closer to me again, his eyes scrutinizing me as he stared at me intently, demanding an explanation.

"what do you want to say in the end?"

I couldn't help but get a little angry. "You have Lin Nan, and now you're bothering me. When did you become so fickle?"

I blurted it out angrily, completely unaware of the change in his expression.

I don't want to be a part of his love game anymore; I just want to live my own life.

Upon hearing this, Jiang Yichen remained silent for a few seconds, seemingly lost in thought.

After a moment, he looked me in the eye and suddenly said, "Gu Mo, why couldn't you see me when my heart and eyes were full of you before?"

He spoke calmly, but upon closer listening, there seemed to be a hint of grievance rather than resentment.

My heart skipped a beat.

I know he used to like me a lot.

That's why I felt justified in doing those things that hurt him.

At that moment, I felt a tightness in my chest and couldn't help but feel a little regretful.

If I could live my life again, I would never abuse and humiliate him like I did before.

but……

I cautiously raised my head and asked him, "If you could do it all over again, would you still choose to marry me?"

As soon as I said it, I regretted it.

Asking these questions now would only be self-humiliating.

But I still wanted to hear the answer from him.

Jiang Yichen paused for a few seconds, then gave a mocking smile and asked, "Gu Mo, do you think I would deliberately seek out trouble?"

I immediately lowered my head; I should have guessed this answer long ago.

After saying that, Jiang Yichen didn't even glance at me again and turned to leave.

Watching him leave decisively, I felt a pang of disappointment.

Yes, knowing that the Gu family will lose, why would they still stay with me?

I stood in the break room for a long time until my emotions calmed down a bit before leaving.

But as soon as I stepped out of the tea room, I heard news that made my blood boil.

Xiaoyu happened to be talking to other people at the bottom of the stairs.

Her voice was very clear, and full of sarcasm.
