By the time dawn broke the next morning, Fu Liangmu was no longer at her side.After washing up, Su Wanwan descended the stairs, just in time to see Uncle Zhang coming up.He greeted her with a gentle smile."Madam, you're up. The young master is waiting to dine with you."Su Wanwan gave a small nod. She took a seat opposite Fu Liangmu, sneaking a glance at him.The awkward scene from the night before still played vividly in her mind.
"You're up early.""Mm."
Neither said much more, quietly finishing their breakfast in silence.
Su Wanwan checked the time."I have to head to work.""I'll take you."Fu Liangmu picked up the car keys he had prepared in advance.
"Actually, there's no—"
Before the words could leave her lips, Fu Liangmu was already striding out of the living room.Su Wanwan had no choice but to grab her bag from the sofa, sling it over her oversized clothes, and hurry after him.
They soon arrived near her company. Su Wanwan, wary of gossip, said,"Just stop here.""What time are you off? I'll come get you."
Her hand paused slightly on the door handle."Not sure if I'll have to work overtime. I'll let you know later."
Fu Liangmu handed her his phone."Your number."
After adding her contact and WeChat, Su Wanwan finally stepped down from the luxury car—unaware that the entire scene had just been witnessed from a nearby BMW.
Su Nian's eyes brimmed with envy as she stared at the departing Maybach. Her red lips lightly bit the lower one."The man who drove my sister to work… he must be the boss from yesterday, right?"
Ye Nan looked displeased.
Especially after realizing that Su Wanwan hadn't fallen into ruin after leaving him,but had instead found a man even wealthier and more powerful than he was—a sharp sting lodged in his chest.
A woman like her—how could any man be blind enough to want her?
"Sister's luck is truly enviable. First, she had you—such a good boyfriend.Then she married into the prestigious Fu family.And now, she even has a thoughtful boss taking care of her…" Su Nian sighed.
Ye Nan snorted coldly."A woman like her—faithless and two-timing—utterly revolting!"
Su Nian's soft, boneless hand gently caressed his chest."Let it go, Nan-ge.You did date for two years, after all. There must've been some genuine feelings.Otherwise, why would she come work at your company even after marrying someone else?"
At that, Ye Nan's brow twitched violently."That damned woman. I was trying to save face for both of us by not firing her outright!""Don't worry, Nian Nian. The moment I get back to the office, I'll kick her out immediately!"
A shrewd glint flickered through Su Nian's fox-like eyes."Nan-ge, it's best to leave some room for maneuver.After all, once we're married, we'll inevitably run into her now and then.If things turn sour now, it'll be awkward in the future."
Su Nian smiled faintly, as if offhandedly mentioning,"I heard there's a major collaboration that the company's been unable to secure.The client is the chairman of Gao Group.If my sister were the one to handle it, I'm sure success would come easily."
Ye Nan stared at her for a long moment before the corners of his lips slowly curled upward.
The chairman of Gao Group was an old lecher past forty.His only condition for business deals? The woman must be beautiful.
Ye Nan's mind began to scheme.
Su Wanwan had humiliated him in front of so many people yesterday and cost him a fortune—he had no intention of letting her off so easily!
Back at the office, Su Wanwan quietly nestled into her usual little corner.
After confirming her relationship with Ye Nan, she had started working at his company.But "working" was a generous word—she didn't even hold a proper position.She was little more than a general errand runner.
Of her eight-hour workday, six were spent idling, and the remaining two sleeping.Everyone in the company was baffled as to why she had been hired in the first place.
Su Wanwan never offered an explanation, nor did she ever mention being Ye Nan's girlfriend.
Because Ye Nan had once said to her—"Wanwan, company policy strictly forbids office romances.As the boss, if I lead by breaking the rules, I'll lose authority in the company.Please understand. Don't tell anyone, alright?"
And so, during their two-year relationship, no one but her closest friends and family knew.
Unfortunately, some people simply don't deserve trust.
Su Wanwan opened her computer and casually clicked on a news article.It was a report about the wedding of the Fu family's eldest son.However, there was no mention of the bride's background—not even her name.
Clearly, the Fu family was deliberately keeping it under wraps.
Knock knock—
She looked up to the sound of knuckles tapping her desk—meeting Ye Nan's stormy gaze.
He tossed a folder at her, speaking like a stranger."Seal this deal for me."
Su Wanwan opened the file and scanned it quickly.Upon seeing the other party's name, she immediately understood.
"They're already scheduled.Tonight, 8 p.m., Nanshan Hotel, Room 3001."
She didn't ask a single question.
Ye Nan had already prepared a response for "Why the hotel?",but she merely nodded and returned her gaze to the screen.
His fingers curled into a tight fist.A deep bitterness surged in his chest.
A lover of two years—gone, just like that,and so utterly indifferent—colder than a stranger.
Su Nian had been right all along.There were too many men around her.She had no room in her heart for him.
Nightfall came swiftly.Before leaving the office, Su Wanwan sent Fu Liangmu a WeChat message:[Business meeting. I'll be home late. Don't wait for dinner.]
He replied instantly.[Okay.]
Standing before Room 3001, Su Wanwan swiped the keycard.
The door opened to a carpet of rose petals leading all the way into the room.
A greasy, potbellied man with slicked-back hair burst out eagerly, eyes gleaming.
Su Wanwan remained expressionless."Mr. Gao, let's talk business.""Yes, yes!"
Gao chuckled lecherously, rubbing his hands together."As long as you please me tonight, I'll agree to anything!"
Su Wanwan tossed the contract onto the table."Why don't we sign the deal first, Mr. Gao?"
"What's the rush? The night is still young.I'm already here—are you afraid I'll run?"
A beauty like this—Even lovelier than movie stars!
Excitement made Gao's hands tremble as he lifted a wine glass.
"Come, let's have a drink."
Su Wanwan took the glass and downed it in one go."Now, shall we sign?"
Gao blinked in surprise before bursting into laughter."What a drinker!Of course—we'll sign right now!"
