She divorced with her property, and her ex-husband chased her around the world

Shang Manyue turned her head and saw Jiang Qi.

Unexpectedly, he would come to her. She pursed her lips and asked, "Brother Qi, what can I do for you?"

Jiang Qi naturally saw the wariness in her eyes.

He curled his lips and responded lightly, "I'm not going to embarrass you this time, don't worry, but... Miss Shang, shouldn't you treat me to a meal?"

Shang Manyue had an epiphany.

Even if Jiang Qi took action to solve the project problem for his own reasons, this favor should be remembered on her head.

Now that she wants to make her way in the business world, she cannot be lacking in the ways of the world.

Shang Manyue hesitated for only a few seconds, then smiled and nodded, "Of course."

"It just so happens that I'm free tonight, so let's go now."

Jiang Qi opened the door of the back seat, and Shang Manyue had to bend down to sit in.

The car drove away slowly.

Shang Manyue took out her cell phone and lowered her head to send a message to Secretary He to explain the situation.

Jiang Qi glanced at her sideways.

The neon lights outside the car window occasionally shone on the side of her face. Her bones were very well-shaped and her side profile was a work of art.

Compared to the fake I saw this morning, the real thing is more pleasing to the eye and makes me feel comfortable.

Half an hour later, the car stopped in front of a private restaurant.

Jiang Qi should be a frequent visitor. There is a private room for him here. The manager led them in and asked as usual, "Mr. Jiang, are the dishes the same as before?"

Jiang Qi handed the menu to Shang Manyue, "Please order."

Shang Manyue waved his hands repeatedly, "Brother Qi, this meal is to thank you for your help, just follow your taste."

Jiang Qi probably just wanted to show his appreciation, and seeing that she was trying to refuse, he said nothing more and nodded to the manager.

The manager understood and turned to leave.

Soon, various special dishes were served on the table. They looked delicious, and a bottle of red wine of very good vintage was also served.

Jiang Qi picked up the wine glass and asked, "Would you like a drink?"

"I'm sorry." Shang Manyue looked very embarrassed. "Brother Qi, I drank a whole bottle of wine yesterday. I'm still a little dizzy today and haven't recovered yet. And I promised the children that I would sleep with them at night. It's not good to smell alcohol."

She picked up the teacup and said, "Brother Qi, thank you so much for your help. I'll have tea instead of wine, is that ok?"

Jiang Qi's dark eyes darkened slightly, with a hint of displeasure.

But she was a smart woman after all. She showed weakness first and then brought up the child. If he still argued with her, it would be very ungraceful.

Jiang Qi didn't force it anymore. He clinked glasses with her, took a sip of red wine, and said meaningfully, "I like children too, but unfortunately, I don't have any yet."

Hearing this, Shang Manyue remembered what Jiang Yuan once said, that Jiang Qi and his wife were in a marriage of arrangement. He married the daughter of his boss at the time. His wife was quite strong, and the relationship between the two had always been not very good.

They separated after more than a year of marriage, so they still have no children.

Of course, you can't just respond to this kind of talk.

Shang Manyue thought for a moment and said with a smile, "You are the parent official, and the people of Gangcheng are all your children, aren't they?"

This answer seemed to be beyond Jiang Qi's expectations. He was stunned for a moment, then laughed, "Miss Shang, you are really good at talking."

After dinner, Shang Manyue called the manager to pay the bill, but the manager said, "Miss Shang, Mr. Jiang has already paid the bill."

She couldn't help but look at Jiang Qi, "I agreed to treat you."

Jiang Qi finished the last sip of red wine and met her dark eyes. "I'm not used to letting women pay. There will always be opportunities in the future."

Shang Manyue's smile remained unchanged, but her grip on the phone tightened slightly.

Jiang Qi sent Shang Manyue back to Manyue Bay and left.

Shang Manyue stood there and watched the car leave, the curve of her lips falling completely.

She was a mature woman, so she naturally understood that men would not show their kindness to her for no reason. Every word Jiang Qi said tonight seemed to have a deeper meaning.

I always feel that... he has something planned for her.

I just hope she was wrong.

Otherwise, if she was targeted by such a man, she would be in big trouble.

Shang Manyue sighed softly, turned around and was about to go back to the house, but unexpectedly bumped into a wall of flesh.

A cold question came from above, "Shang Manyue, why are you with Jiang Qi?"

When Shang Manyue heard this voice, she started to have a headache.

Has she had Mercury retrograde recently?

Why are they both looking for trouble?

Shang Manyue raised her head and met Huo Jingbo's slightly angry eyes. She said in a calm voice, "Boss Huo, you have no right to interfere in my affairs."

She walked away from him.

However, Huo Jingbo simply grabbed her wrist, dragged her back and held her in front of him.

"Shang Manyue, why did you block me? I didn't do anything last night, so I was wrong?"

He believed that he had shown his best attitude and sincerity to her.

She is still not satisfied?

Shang Manyue was very tired after just finishing a social event. Now she just wanted to go back and take a shower, change into comfortable pajamas, and sleep with her two children in her arms.

Instead of arguing with him here and going back and forth.

Shang Manyue took a deep breath, suppressed all her emotions, and spoke as calmly as possible, "Huo Jingbo, there is no need for you and me to contact each other anymore except for the matter of the child. If you want to see the child in the future, just contact Aunt Chen, and she will arrange it for you."

Her calm look made Huo Jingbo's anger burn even more fiercely.

"Shang Manyue, I'm asking you, why did you block me? What do you mean there's no need to contact you? How come there's no need for us to contact each other?"

"You don't love me anymore? Or have you fallen for another man?"

Shang Manyue could tell that the other man was Jiang Qi.

Suddenly she couldn't help but laugh, but the smile didn't even reach her eyes.

It seemed that no matter how stable her emotions were, she couldn't hold back in front of that bastard.

He always managed to hit her sore spots accurately.

She closed her eyes and asked, "Huo Jingbo, what do you want? Since things are going so well between you and Jiang Yuan, you will probably get engaged soon. Even if... you don't remember your feelings for me, we have a pair of children, and I used to be sincere to you. How can you... force me to be your underground lover?"

"Because of your physical desires, how will our children live with themselves in the future? How will you let me live with myself?"

"Huo Jingbo, if you still have a little conscience, you shouldn't get entangled with me anymore. I, Shang Manyue, can't be your canary anymore!"

"As for love?"

She felt wronged after all, and as she laughed, tears welled up in her eyes.

"Huo Jingbo, if you don't love me, why should I continue to love you? You always ask for things from me, but you are unwilling to give even a little bit."

Huo Jingbo was stunned.

She exerted force and pushed him away viciously.

"Huo Jingbo, I'll say this one last time. I'll leave when this project is over. Don't come looking for me again!"
