Breakup and still want to be beautiful on your own? A crazy tycoon seduces and climbs to the top.

An Ying frowned.

If she weren't mindful of her surroundings and didn't want to ruin the atmosphere, she would have kicked him long ago.

She gritted her teeth and sat down.

After thinking about it again, he simply pinched the skin on the back of his hand hard with his fingernail.

"hiss--"

Lu Qiyao immediately withdrew his hand in pain.

The few people in the front row who had been turning around to watch An Ying's antics turned around again.

A man teased, "Young Master Lu, what's going on between you two? Flirting? Have you made up again?"

"One at home and one outside, they're sisters, Mr. Lu is really playing the field."

"If you dare to hold hands now, will you kiss later, hahaha?"

After she finished speaking, the other men joined in the jeering, all looking at An Ying with malicious smiles on their faces.

An Ying's face was expressionless, her expression icy.

There was no response either.

The men found it boring and wisely shut up.

Lu Qiyao said in a low voice, "A few of my buddies from the same year saw us on a date back in school, so they know you. We still see each other often after we start working and hang out together occasionally, but you don't come to those men's gatherings, so you're not very familiar with them."

An Ying lazily replied, "I can tell, you guys are all pretty crazy, no wonder you can hang out together."

Lu Qiyao: "..."

An Ying's voice was neither too loud nor too soft, just enough to reach the ears of the men in front of her.

They looked embarrassed, glanced at each other, and dared not turn back to say anything more.

Lu Qiyao frowned slightly: She's become increasingly sharp-tongued; she used to never talk back no matter what others said.

Lu Qiyao thought for a moment and continued, "I still have some project materials in my company that you have. You didn't hand over these materials when you left the company, so give them to me now."

Lu Qiyao practically gritted his teeth as he said those words.

On the day she resigned, he so aggressively cornered her in the stairwell, threatening and coercing her.

He adopted a superior attitude, humiliating her from a high and mighty position and forcing her to become his secret lover.

He didn't even bother asking her for the documents back.

Because Lu Qiyao was absolutely certain: she couldn't live without him, and she would definitely come back.

But as it turned out, she didn't turn back.

Not only did they not turn back, they also clung to Fu Chengli, this big tree.

Her complexion was much rosier, and she looked much more energetic than when she was working overtime with him every day.

It's really human beings who count as gods.

An Ying had complained to him countless times before that the Fu family was not a normal family and that she did not want to have anything to do with the Fu family.

I don't know what tricks she used, but she made Old Master Fu extremely happy at the birthday banquet.

Now, everything is irreversible.

It will be unsafe for her to keep those documents in her possession sooner or later.

She had already left the Lu Group and was now an "outsider." Leaving project documents worth hundreds of millions in the hands of an outsider was bound to cause problems.

Lu Qiyao still clings to a sliver of hope that An Ying still possesses humanity.

After seven years together, he knew she wasn't the type to betray others or be disloyal, and thankfully, she hadn't caused any trouble during that time.

During the time since the breakup, she has become a completely different person.

What will she become after a while?

Lu Qiyao didn't know either.

Perhaps she will completely abandon him and never look back, showing no mercy whatsoever.

Thinking of this, Lu Qiyao felt a tightness in his chest, but he had to get the company documents back.

Lu Qiyao now had no choice but to beg An Ying in a humble tone, even lowering his voice a few decibels: "You know those materials. If they are leaked, they will cause significant losses to the Lu family. I hope you will cooperate and not force me."

After hearing this, An Ying was speechless for a few seconds, then chuckled.

How can someone say they're asking for a favor, and then add "Don't force me" at the end?

Was he begging her or threatening her?

His way of asking for help was completely wrong.

Since his attitude was wrong, she would teach him a lesson.

An Ying rested her hand on the armrest of the seat, her fair palm supporting her chin, and smiled slightly:

"I can give it to you, but you have to pay me back."

Lu Qiyao was taken aback.

He couldn't believe his ears.

The anger in Lu Qiyao's eyes dissipated, replaced by a furious expression, and his voice rose considerably: "Say that again?!"

The host paused for a moment, surprised.

All eyes in the room turned to An Ying and Lu Qiyao.
