Under the moonlight

Zhao Meng got up and left the office. He sat in his car, started the engine, but didn't rush to leave. The roar of the engine filled him with even more panic. Should I ask her? How should I bring it up? What if she's already forgotten? A series of questions tormented him, and he couldn't figure out what to do. So he simply stopped thinking about it and followed his heart.

Zhao Meng jerked the steering wheel and turned the car around. The first batch of products was about to be shipped out according to the contract date, so it was more important to keep an eye on the workshop.

Listening to the roar of the boss's car, Liang Yuanyuan glanced at Huang Meng, who was still looking at documents in the conference room. Sigh, it's true what they say, handsome guys always love to fawn over beautiful women! In the past, the boss would be lucky to stay in the office for an hour at most, but ever since Huang Meng came, he seems to love spacing out in the office!

Huang Meng was unaware of what was happening outside the meeting room. It took her nearly two hours to finish checking all the product information in her hands. She felt quite accomplished looking at the stack of documents that she had revised so much.

She walked to the office area and found the girl who had just taken the documents, the girl she had already identified as Jiang Ying in her mind.

"Hello, I've checked all the information. When should I hand it over to you?" Huang Meng said softly.

"Yes, just leave it here. I'll fix it later." Huang Meng looked at the documents in her hand, then at Fen Ying who was busy at the computer, and asked with a smile, "Um, if possible, I can help you reorganize these text documents that need to be modified, and send them to you so you can reprint them. You seem to be quite busy too."

Huang Meng simply wanted to help, but unexpectedly Fen Ying got angry and frowned, saying, "You can leave it there. I'm in charge of these tasks, you don't need to help."

Huang Meng was startled by her curt refusal. She quickly nodded and bowed as she placed the documents on her desk and quietly slipped out. Goodness, she's not happy about being asked to help? Does she love her job that much?

"That's just how she is. When it's her job, she won't push any of it onto others, but when it's not her job, you can't expect her to help you with anything." Huang Meng was muttering to herself when she heard Liang Yuanyuan speak.

"Oh, hehe, she really is, um, quite serious, hehe~" Huang Meng said awkwardly.

"You can leave once you're done. I'm going to get busy now!" She waved to Huang Meng and carried a pile of documents into the conference room.

Huang Meng stood in the corridor, watching the people buried in their work. Apart from Liang Yuanyuan, whom she was somewhat familiar with, everyone else seemed like a complete stranger. And rightly so, she'd spent less than 24 hours in total here. But that was fine; it saved her the trouble of maintaining so-called colleague relationships. She'd work when there was work, and leave when there wasn't, enjoying a relaxed and carefree life.

She glanced at the time; it was almost noon. Looking around, she couldn't spot Zhao Meng. "Huh? Strange, why would I look for him?" Huang Meng chuckled self-deprecatingly and prepared to hail a taxi home.

Just as I reached the door, I received a message from Xu Ao: Didn't you say you were going to the company today? I'm near your company, when are you done?

Huang Meng thought for a moment and then called Xu Ao. The call was quickly answered: "Are you done with your work?" Xu Ao's voice came through the receiver.

"Yeah, I'm done with work. This little problem is no problem for me. Where are you?"

"It's near your company. Wait for me at your company for a bit, and I'll come find you later."

"Well, how about this, I'll come find you. I'm free anyway, and I don't know what to do here!" Huang Meng felt a little apprehensive at the thought of facing a group of unfamiliar people.

"Okay, I'll send you my location." Xu Ao hung up the phone after saying that.

Huang Meng looked at the location on her phone. It wasn't far. She would arrive after crossing one traffic light and turning a corner. She opened the navigation and decided to walk there.

When she arrived, Xu Ao should have finished work by then. As he walked out, he was talking to his colleagues. When he saw Huang Meng coming, he ran up to her, put his arm around her, and introduced her to his colleagues behind him: "This is my girlfriend, Huang Meng."

"Hello." Huang Meng greeted them in a generous and open manner.

"Hey kid, when did you get such a beautiful girlfriend? Remember to treat us next time!"

"Haha, definitely!"

"Okay, we'll be going now!"

After exchanging a few words of laughter, they left in the company car. Xu Ao turned around and looked at Huang Meng with a smile, "What do you want to eat? I'll take a taxi."

"Mmm, I want to eat hot pot." Huang Meng tiptoed closer to Xu Ao and said with a smile.

"Okay, no problem!" Xu Ao reached out and touched the top of her head, then put his arm around her waist and kissed her forehead.

Xu Ao had just hailed a taxi when he looked up and saw a completely black Land Rover parked across the street. He couldn't see inside the car from a distance, but he felt like there was a pair of eyes watching him, or maybe it was just his imagination.

Huang Meng has never been particularly observant about cars, so she didn't notice that Zhao Meng's car was a completely black Land Rover. She did notice the car that had been parked there at some point, but only caught a fleeting glance before Xu Ao's taxi arrived, and they got in together.

Huang Meng didn't know why, but after getting into the car, she glanced back and saw the license plate number. She just thought it looked familiar and didn't think much of it.

Zhao Meng remained seated in the car until they disappeared from sight.

He came out of the workshop intending to go back and pick up Huang Meng for dinner, but as soon as he got here, he saw her come out of the intersection, but instead of walking towards him, she turned a corner and went to the other side.

So he just watched them laugh and hug each other.

It was him, that man who came to the company last time. Was he her boyfriend?

Even after they left, the surging heat in Zhao Meng's chest had not subsided. His eyes were filled with simmering anger, endless resentment, and a powerful possessiveness.

It felt like something that originally belonged to him had been taken by someone else by some twist of fate, and he was unwilling to accept it. If he was hesitant about whether to explain things to Huang Meng just now, after seeing what happened, he was certain of his feelings. Perhaps after she knew, she would understand her own feelings and also understand his.

Perhaps, she simply thought she had forgotten.
