Ji Yubai's lips parted into a smile; things are looking promising!

Fu Shengyang, that iceberg, has a woman he likes.

This is a big event.

"The woman who won the grand prize at your company's annual party, your methods for pursuing her are so outdated. If you don't like it, I can teach you."

Ji Yubai, who frequents brothels, understands women all too well. He can win over any woman he wants with ease.

In this capital city, there isn't a woman that Young Master Ji can't win over.

Fu Shengyang ignored his words.

Zhong Lingxi, Xiaoyue's best friend.

"When did this happen?"

“When I came in, she was holding a broom and was about to hit someone, but I stopped her.”

Fu Shengyang frowned. "She's alone?"

"one person."

Does that mean Xiaoyue also knew he was at the bar?

Xiaoyue had worked part-time at a bar, so she knew what bars were like.

“Ji Yubai, if you meet me in a place like this again, I’m withdrawing my investment.”

Fu Shengyang left after uttering those harsh words.

Ji Yubai was confused. "What's wrong with this place?"

"Hey, no, could you invest more money in me? Then I'd have enough to rent an office building."

The only response he received was the door that Fu Shengyang slammed shut.

He leaned back lazily on the sofa, looked around, and said, "Isn't this place pretty good?"

They all lacked appreciation, so this fine wine was indeed enjoyed by him alone.

Fu Shengyang hurriedly returned to the Waterside Residence, where Cui Ma was folding clothes that she had taken out of the dryer.

Each little piece of clothing brought a smile to Cui Ma's face.

It's as if I can already see the adorable faces of the young master and young lady.

Fu Shengyang entered the room, not even having taken off his shoes, and asked, "Aunt Cui, has the young mistress returned?"

"Not yet." Seeing the young master's solemn expression, Aunt Cui thought something had happened. "I'll call and ask Xiao Zhao."

"Who is Xiao Zhao?"

"Shang Qi is not feeling well, so Xiao Zhao will be protecting the young mistress today."

Fu Shengyang was taken aback. What a coincidence.

Xiaoyue must have misunderstood him.

They must have assumed that he was the one who transferred Shang Qi away.

This is truly a case of one wave subsiding only for another to rise.

He needs to see Xiaoyue now and explain everything clearly; he doesn't want Xiaoyue to misunderstand him.

"Ask them where they are? I'll come pick them up."

"Okay." Aunt Cui put down her work and quickly called Xiao Zhao.

Fu Shengyang went upstairs to change his clothes.

His clothes were soaked in the stench of several cheap perfumes mixed together.

When he took off his cufflinks and was about to put them back, he noticed the pink diamond ring on the jewelry cabinet.

It lay quietly on a piece of white paper, solitary, exuding a serene beauty.

It was Xiaoyue's silent resistance.

He put the ring in his pocket, quickly changed into casual clothes, and went downstairs.

"Young Master, this is where Xiao Zhao is. Xiao Zhao said that Madam has been inside for four hours."

"Okay." Fu Shengyang took it and saw that the address was for a shop in a cultural and creative park. "The clothes upstairs will be washed now."

"Okay, Master."

An Xiaoyue watched a tragic TV series in the home theater, using up four packs of toilet paper before finally finishing all ten episodes.

Her eyes were bloodshot and swollen, and her double eyelids had swollen into single eyelids.

Her nose and cheeks were flushed, and her voice was very nasal as she spoke, "Sister, the bill."

Zhong Lingxi accompanied her the whole time, without saying a word or watching any TV dramas; she just stared at Xiaoyue.

Xiaoyue wanted to drink water, so she went to get it for her.

Xiaoyue asked for toilet paper, so she pulled it out and handed it to her.

She was hiding the CEO's secret from everyone, and she was in so much pain.

Xiaoyue had never been so heartbroken; Xiaoyue's emotions were like a blank sheet of paper.

Even though many male classmates had crushes on her during her school days, none of them dared to actually pursue her because of her status as a top student and the child of a teacher.

Now, Xiaoyue has met a man, and they have become intimate and have a child.

Regardless of whether there were feelings involved, the other party was unfaithful during Xiaoyue's pregnancy.

This is a disdain and an insult to Xiaoyue. She can keep it a secret for now, but Xiaoyue will find out sooner or later.

How will Xiaoyue face the CEO after finding out? How will she explain it to her child?

As a lawyer, she had seen too much of human nature.

No one can help Xiaoyue in her current state. The mental anguish she is experiencing can only be resolved by the person involved coming to terms with it.

As her best friend, she could only silently stay by Xiaoyue's side.

An Xiaoyue lowered her head, went out, called Xiao Zhao, and prepared to leave.

"Young Madam, the young master has arrived," Xiao Zhao reminded her.

The sky was dark and the cold wind was biting.

Fu Shengyang sat in the car with the window rolled down.

When their eyes met, An Xiaoyue's red and swollen eyes remained calm and indifferent.

"Xiao Zhao, could you please take Lingxi home?"

Zhong Lingxi's heart clenched, and she called out with heartache, "Xiaoyue..."

Xiao Zhao nodded, "Yes, young mistress."

"Lingxi, it will be alright." An Xiaoyue smiled brightly. "I can't have dinner with you today, let's meet up next time."

"Okay, call me if you need anything, I'm not busy right now."

The two sisters exchanged a few words and then got into their respective cars parked by the roadside.

The car was completely silent, filled with an endless silence.

Back at Fu Garden, An Xiaoyue walked ahead alone, with Fu Shengyang following closely behind.

Once she reached the second floor of the Waterside Pavilion, An Xiaoyue changed her clothes with a blank expression.

Even with Fu Shengyang standing behind her, she still took off her clothes with ease.

Fu Shengyang can do anything to her body, but her spirit must belong to him.

Fu Shengyang waited for her to put on her pajamas before saying, "Let's have a chat."

"Go ahead." A smile appeared on her cool face, but the smile didn't reach her eyes.

"Shang Qi is indeed feeling unwell, but I haven't contacted her."

"I understand," she replied casually.

Fu Shengyang's expression froze. "The bar belongs to Ji Yubai. He just started his business and doesn't have the money to rent an office, so he arranges to discuss business at the bar."

"understood."

Fu Shengyang felt a sudden, sharp pain in his heart, and pulled out a pink diamond ring from his pocket. "This..."

"Oh, thank you." An Xiaoyue smiled apologetically. "I was in a hurry and forgot where I put it."

After saying that, An Xiaoyue put the ring back on her ring finger.

Fu Shengyang's palm fell empty, the slight chill of her fingertips still lingering, the coolness settling on his heart.

Seeing him staring blankly at his palm, An Xiaoyue asked in confusion, "Is there anything else?"

Fu Shengyang's dark eyes were deep and unfathomable. "No."

"Mr. Fu, I want to take a nap." An Xiaoyue's tone was normal, but her eyes were firm.

"My internship at Zhongkangtang is very important to my career planning. I will fulfill my duties as a wife and mother in accordance with the agreement. At the same time, please do not interfere with my studies."

Fu Shengyang stared at her swollen eyes, unable to bring himself to say no.

He didn't want her to go, but she would be unhappy.

But she went...

Fu Shengyang was torn; he neither said yes nor no.

"I'm going to take a nap. I'll have dinner in my room. I can't face Grandpa Fu and my mom with this face."

After finishing her own words, An Xiaoyue stopped looking at Fu Shengyang's reaction and went straight to bed.
