If we swapped lives, I'd be the CEO and you'd take care of the kids.

Shen Yanqiu felt her heart breaking after hearing Jiang Wanjun's words!

In June, when he and Zhu Tingyue were at the height of their romance, she actually went abroad to find her first love? And she even told him she was going on a trip?

He waited anxiously for her to come back, but she fell asleep in another man's arms?

Haha, Zhu Tingyue, what a master of time management! She's juggling two relationships without anyone even noticing!

I was so blind! I thought that since Zhu Tingyue didn't reject me that night, she must like me too!

To hell with liking her! She's a fickle womanizer, always eyeing what's in her bowl while eyeing what's in the pot, falling in love with every guy she meets! Just like her unchaste father, what a scumbag!

Unable to vent his anger, Shen Yanqiu dug his nails into his palms, but he felt no pain, trapped in his accusations against Zhu Tingyue.

Zhu's mother stood quietly in the distance, her gaze fixed on the familiar figure in front of her.

As my thoughts drifted away, memories of spending time with my "daughter" during this period flooded back to me like a tide.

Those moments filled with laughter seem like they happened just yesterday; the daughter's bright smile warms Mother Zhu's heart like the spring sunshine.

Her pouty lips and pitiful eyes when she's occasionally angry also break Zhu's mother's heart.

When "she" triumphed in her battle with her father, the pride and confidence radiating from her face brought immense joy to Zhu's mother.

These scenes played out in Zhu's mother's mind like movie footage, and she could clearly recall every detail and every change in expression.

Before she knew it, tears had blurred her vision and were slowly sliding down her cheeks. Each glistening teardrop carried the deep love and longing that Mother Zhu had for her "daughter".

She stared for a long time, seemingly lost in thought, before finally turning and leaving.

Shen Yanqiu carefully recalled every detail of her time with Zhu Tingyue. She wondered if Zhu Tingyue was thinking about another man who was far away in a foreign country and would sing for her during those happy and memorable moments.

Once the seed of doubt is planted, it will take root and sprout on its own. In no time, Shen Yanqiu's doubts were as deep as a towering tree, firmly rooted in his heart.

Just then, his phone rang. The man, who was originally irritable and full of resentment, instantly picked up the phone and pressed the answer button the moment he heard the ringtone specially set for Zhu Tingyue, uttering a chilling word: "Hello?"

Zhu Tingyue, who was opposite him, seemed to be busy with something, or perhaps she hadn't heard him at all. After a long while, she finally said, "It's me, Zhu Tingyue."

This was the first thing she said when she answered the phone, both unfamiliar and polite.

Would she react the same way if she answered that man's call? This thought suddenly popped into Shen Yanqiu's head.

Suppressing his wandering thoughts, Shen Yanqiu adopted a businesslike tone: "Yes, is there something you need?"

"I'm fine. Didn't you call me? I was busy and didn't answer."

Shen Yanqiu thought she had a change of heart and missed him, but it turned out he was just imagining things!

Upon hearing her say that, he immediately denied it: "Oh, I dialed the wrong number."

Zhu Tingyue wasn't sure if she had read the letter or not, so she simply replied, "Okay, you still... um, I'll be there soon."

The first half of her sentence was addressed to Shen Yanqiu, but the second half was unclear to whom she was agreeing. Shen Yanqiu heard a man's voice over the phone.

So, she didn't answer my call this morning because she was with that man? And now, when she calls me, she's still chatting and laughing with him?

Although he didn't hear laughter from the other side, it didn't stop him from thinking that way.

Shen Yanqiu's anger, which he had been suppressing for a long time, finally flared up. However, he did not say anything to Zhu Tingyue. Instead, he angrily hung up the phone and slammed it onto the grass.

Watching the phone roll a few times on the ground, I felt as satisfied as if I had beaten the man who had seduced Zhu Tingyue to a pulp.

He wanted nothing more than to kick him a couple more times and yell at him: "What did you do wrong? You became a mistress! Don't you have any sense of shame? Destroying someone else's relationship is against public order and good morals! You shameless vixen!"

But he held back, because what he considered his imaginary enemy was his phone; it wouldn't break if dropped on the grass, but kicking it a couple of times might.

He bent down, picked up the phone, wiped off the dust, and put it back in his pocket.

As for that man, there will always be a chance to meet him. When that time comes, I'll see how I scold him to wake him up!

snort!

He comforted himself, relieved his frustration, and his mood brightened. He hummed an off-key tune and strolled away leisurely.

Zhu Tingyue, on the other hand, was engrossed in endless work.

Today is Saturday!

Zhu Tingyue felt as if she were firmly gripped by a pair of large hands called "work," and as a pawn, she was placed by these large hands in every day she was still breathing!

As long as I have a breath left, I have to work!

Why? Didn't she choose to be the general manager because the general manager has power? Why doesn't she get a rest on her days off, but instead gets a ton of work to do?

She's going crazy!

Shen Yingchu, it must have been Shen Yingchu who arranged this! He just can't stand to see me doing well!

She was sent on a business trip on a Saturday, to a place she knew no one, to deal with a bunch of documents she had never seen before.

Fortunately, I was smart enough to bring Assistant Yang along. Otherwise, with this mountain of documents on the table in front of me, when would I ever be able to finish it!

"Knock knock," Assistant Yang came in.

"Mr. Shen, let's go get some food first."

Yes, Zhu Tingyue hadn't had lunch yet. It was 3 PM, the time when she should have afternoon tea, but she hadn't even managed to have a proper meal!

Zhu Tingyue looked at Assistant Yang with a pleading look, her eyes so pitiful that they gave Assistant Yang goosebumps.

Assistant Yang avoided her gaze. It was truly horrifying to see a grown man looking at another grown man with such eyes!

Assistant Yang felt it was not appropriate to linger here. Did President Shen perhaps have some kind of unusual fetish?

He hastily tossed out a sentence: "The food is at the door," and then ran away.

Zhu Tingyue wanted to call him over and ask when the work would be finished.

As a result, he was a little slow to open his mouth, and Assistant Yang slipped away very quickly, disappearing in the blink of an eye.

Zhu Tingyue had something on her mind and couldn't eat, so she simply stopped eating and buried herself in her work, refusing to believe that she could be defeated by this little bit of work!

Two hours later, she gave up.

Humans, it must be admitted, do have shortcomings in certain aspects.

Work is Zhu Tingyue's weakness!

Let Assistant Yang help me out; I really can't handle this by myself.

Three cobblers with their wits combined can equal one Zhuge Liang. But a single cobbler is no match for one person!
