There was a cold reminder tone from the other end: No one answered the call you made...

Li Yue looked embarrassed, but she didn't give up and continued to fight.

I called four or five times in a row, but no one answered.

When she looked up, she saw Shang Manyue's lips curled up slightly. She was almost angry and said, "Shang Manyue, are you making fun of me? Don't be so proud. Mr. Jiang was just busy. He didn't mean to ignore my call."

"is it?"

Shang Manyue took out her cell phone, dialed Jiang Qi's number, and then turned on the speaker.

She casually placed her phone on the table.

It only rang three times before the other end picked up the phone. Jiang Qi's deep voice sounded, even with a hint of surprise and unexpectedness.

"Man Yue, why did you call me? What's the matter?"

The tone was full of tenderness, even with a hint of smile.

Shang Manyue lazily raised her eyelids to look at Li Yue, her face had turned pale in an instant.

Shang Manyue said calmly, "Nothing happened. I just ran into your lover Li Yue while shopping. She looks a bit like me, but I don't like her very much."

"Is it."

Jiang Qi seemed to understand women quite well. He probably thought that women didn't like to wear the same clothes as others, so if they saw the same face, they would definitely be unhappy.

He didn't care much. "I'll ask Secretary Li to inform Li Yue and ask her to avoid you. Are you satisfied?"

Shang Manyue chuckled, "You are quite ruthless. This Li Yue must have been following you for a long time, right?"

"Man Yue, you should know that when you see something good, how can you settle for less? My previous promise to you remains the same. As long as you are willing, there will be no other women around me."

Shang Manyue didn't respond. "I have something else to do. I'm hanging up now."

"Okay, see you next time."

After the call was hung up, Li Yue no longer had the arrogance he had just had. He leaned dejectedly on the sofa, with cold sweat on his forehead.

She clearly knew what Jiang Qi was thinking.

But she just wouldn't give in and wouldn't admit defeat.

She always felt that if she did a little better, she could turn the situation around.

Shang Manyue shattered her beautiful dream with just one phone call.

She loved Jiang Qi deeply, but Jiang Qi treated her as nothing.

A piece of toilet paper that can be thrown away at will after use.

A pair of worn-out shoes that are thrown away after being worn.

Li Yue covered her lower abdomen, tears rolling down her cheeks uncontrollably. She didn't want to embarrass herself in front of Shang Manyue again, but all her sadness at this moment surged up and she couldn't control it at all.

Shang Manyue looked at her quietly for a moment, then took out a tissue and handed it to her.

Li Yue slapped her hand away, "I don't want you to be so hypocritical."

Secretary He was furious. "What's wrong with you? It was Jiang Qi who let you down. Why are you taking your anger out on our young lady? If you have the guts, go find your man."

"Oh no, you think Jiang Qi is your man. In his eyes, you are just one of many women. You are totally insignificant. How ridiculous."

Secretary He's words were unpleasant to hear, but they were all true.

Li Yue was already feeling uncomfortable, and she was frantically finishing off the enemy, which made her even more embarrassed.

She bit her lower lip tightly, "So you guys came here on purpose to laugh at me today?"

Shang Manyue was too lazy to pay attention to her self-pity, because there is a type of woman who will never face up to her cruel reality.

She only laid out her conditions, "You stay with Jiang Qi, abort the child, continue to please him, and then wait for the day when he gets tired of you and kicks you away."

"Or, agree to my terms and I will protect you and your child. Instead of waiting for him to deal with you, you might as well take the initiative. This way you can keep the child as a thought and have something to look forward to in the rest of your life."

"Of course, I won't embarrass you, nor will I force you. Everyone has to choose their own path. You should think carefully about whether you want to cooperate with me."

Shang Manyue picked up Li Yue's phone and entered her own number.

"When you've thought it through, call me."

Shang Manyue smiled, stood up, and left with Secretary He.

Li Yue sat on the sofa in a daze, looking at Shang Manyue's unrestrained and uninhibited attitude, unable to come back to her senses for a long time.

……

In the evening, Shang Manyue walked out of the study. Huo Jingbo leaned against the wall with his tall body, staring at her deeply with his black eyes.

"Are you done with your work, Mr. Shang?"

Shang Manyue had been forced to accept his mysterious appearances in Full Moon Bay.

She had dealt with a lot of things today and was very tired and had no energy to deal with him.

Shang Manyue walked straight towards the master bedroom.

She sat in front of the dressing table to remove her makeup. Huo Jingbo came over and stood behind her. Seeing her weak look, he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, "Shang Group has so many things to do?"

The last time he took a rough look at the documents, Shang's company was currently developing well, so there was no need for her to spend so much effort to run it.

He narrowed his black eyes and looked at Shang Manyue in the mirror, "Manyue, are you busy with something else?"

Shang Manyue's hand holding the cotton pad paused, and she subconsciously looked up. She met the sharp gaze of the man in the mirror, and her heart beat faster.

Huo Jingbo is very perceptive, could he have noticed something?

If he knew what she was doing... he would probably be furious...

Shang Manyue forced a smile and said as naturally as possible, "No, it's just that my ability is limited, so I have to work harder."

She even deliberately scolded him, "Do you think everyone is like you, a business genius?"

The man's scrutinizing gaze still remained.

Shang Manyue thought for a moment, then stood up and faced him, questioning, "Why are you here again? It's late, I need to take a shower and rest, you can leave now."

As soon as these words were spoken, Huo Jingbo's mind was quickly drawn back.

He stretched out his long arms, hooked them around the woman's slender waist, and pulled her in front of him.

He looked down at her and said in a hoarse voice, "Don't chase me away all the time. I'm going on a business trip and it will take about a week for me to come back. You won't be able to see me by then, and you might miss me."

Business trip...Business trip at this time?

Shang Manyue frowned slightly, but she didn't show it on her face. She asked naturally, "I didn't hear you say you were going on a business trip before. Why are you going on a business trip suddenly?"

"It was a temporary decision. There was a problem with the project in City B."

Huo Jingbo answered subconsciously, and suddenly realized something. His handsome face moved closer, and their breaths almost intertwined.

"Man Yue, you care about me, huh?"

Shang Manyue's face turned slightly red, and she turned her face away, "No."

Huo Jingbo didn't believe it and continued to ask, "Are you reluctant to leave me?"

Shang Manyue pushed him, "Did you say that?"

The man grabbed her face with his big hands and forced her to turn it back so that their eyes met.

He saw the ripples in her eyes and exposed her directly, "Look at yourself, you are obviously reluctant."

Shang Manyue: "…………"

She just felt that something was fishy.

How could I not be willing to give it up!

Shang Manyue ignored the throbbing in her heart and said stubbornly, "Get out of the way. I'm going to take a shower."

Huo Jingbo's dark eyes darkened, his gaze fixed on her red lips. He pressed her firmly against the dressing table and said ambiguously, "Shang Manyue, I want to kiss you."
