She was fired after she refused to be the CEO's dog licker.

"Scoundrel, Zhou Hanzhi, you are a scoundrel!" My emotions were ignited by Zhou Hanzhi's laughter, and they quickly swelled and exploded, and I angrily cursed at the person on the other end of the phone.

It's just a scoundrel!

And he keeps playing rogue on me again and again!

Why didn’t I realize before that this man was such a scoundrel!

But my anger not only did not make Zhou Hanzhi angry, but instead made him laugh happily.

The more he laughed, the angrier and more out of control I became. I really wanted to rush up to him and punch him in the face.

But I can't. If I hit someone, I have to pay compensation, and I don't have any money right now.

I could only suppress my anger and said seriously, "Zhou Hanzhi, please return my diamond bracelet immediately!"

"You've given me the label of a scoundrel. I can't bear this label in vain, right?" Zhou Hanzhi laughed enough and finally stopped, but still exuded that scoundrel tone. "Since I've been given this label, I'll carry it through to the end."

"You!" I was so angry that the fire rushed to my forehead.

Zhou Hanzhi's laughter became even more joyful: "I said I would return it, and I will definitely return it. However, when I return it depends on my mood. So, Manager Meng, you have to try your best to make me happy. Only when I am happy can I return the things to you. If you make me unhappy, then this thing..."

I swallowed back the insults that were about to hit my throat.

I can't hit him or scold him, I feel really frustrated.

"However, I am still very happy today. Although you refuse to admit it, I know that Xuxu cares about me in her heart and is worried that something might happen to me." On the other end of the phone, Zhou Hanzhi's voice became soft and magnetic, like a lover's whisper in the ear, "I am very happy, and I hope Xuxu will continue to be like this, so that I can return the things to you sooner."

I gritted my teeth and pinched my fingers hard to stop myself from being impulsive.

He chuckled again: "Okay, that's it for today, good night, honey."

I couldn't stand it anymore, so I hung up the phone, punched the air, and cursed with gritted teeth: "Asshole, Zhou Hanzhi, you scoundrel, you have no shame!"

I was really angry, so angry that I couldn't fall asleep again even though I was very sleepy at the moment.

At this moment, the door was pushed open from the outside, and Wu Ling's face squeezed in from the crack of the door, with curiosity and gossip: "Xuxu, are you arguing with Zhou Hanzhi?"

"I didn't, I didn't talk to him." I denied it subconsciously, but my face was already hot.

Wu Ling smiled brightly, walked in, got into my bed, pinched my face and laughed at me: "Xu Xu, you blush when you lie, you can hide it from others but not from me, and I can't sleep either, come, tell me, what happened between you and Zhou Hanzhi?"

My face did turn red. Zhou Hanzhi had provoked and intensified my emotions just now. Now my emotions were easily shown on my face and I couldn't hide them at all.

However, I still have a trick to deal with Wu Ling.

I looked at her gossipy face and smiled slightly, then took out my phone to show her the call records: "I didn't talk to Zhou Hanzhi, but Assistant Zeng was very concerned about you and didn't forget to call me in the middle of the night to inquire about your situation. Look, here are the call records."

Now, it was Wu Ling's turn to remain silent.

She stared at the call records on my phone. All the calls on them were from Zeng Zhi, and her face began to turn red.

She suddenly turned her face away and said, "Go to sleep!" without asking any more questions.

I suddenly felt that I had gone too far, because not only did Wu Ling's face turn red, her eyes also turned red. She was lying with her back to me, but her thin shoulders were trembling slightly, as if she was crying.

"Sister, I'm sorry, I didn't mean that. I just wanted to tease you, you..." I held her shoulders, feeling very apologetic.

Originally, I wanted to make her happy. After all, although she broke up with Zeng Zhi, Zeng Zhi's love was still there and he still cared about her. Any woman would be happy about this.

But I didn’t expect that Wu Ling’s reaction would be to cry.

It seems like she is not crying out of happiness, but really out of sadness.

Because she held my hand, her voice choked and sad, with a strong nasal tone: "I'm fine, just a little sad... I feel sorry for him, but we really can't be together."

"The fact that you feel sorry for him means that you still have him in your heart. Since both of you have each other in your hearts, why can't you try again?" This question has been in my mind for a long time, but I have never been able to ask it. However, my emotions are fluctuating at this moment, and I asked it on impulse.

Zeng Zhi's love for Wu Ling is naturally deep and intense. Wu Ling is obviously reluctant to let go of Zeng Zhi. She is pregnant with Zeng Zhi's child and she even wants to keep the baby. Why can't she choose to reconcile with Zeng Zhi?

Wu Ling's tears fell, spreading a dark color on the light-colored pillowcase.

She looked at me and asked, "You and Zhou Hanzhi also have each other in your heart, Xuxu, do you think you can try again?"

"I..." I wanted to say that I didn't pretend to be Zhou Hanzhi in my heart.

But when I met Wu Ling's clear eyes washed by tears, I was speechless, and my heart was filled with congestion and bitterness.

After lowering my eyes for a moment, I whispered, "No, I already have Xiaoye." Zhou Hanzhi was also about to marry Lin Xixi.

After a pause, I immediately raised my eyes and stared into Wu Ling's eyes: "But you are both single, why can't you get back together?"

"Because... I want to protect him, so we can't get back together." Wu Ling's voice was very soft, but his eyes became firm at this moment.

Not getting back together with Zeng Zhi is to protect Zeng Zhi?

This logic is incredible. I looked at Wu Ling for a long while. "Why, sister, have you offended some enemy? Are you afraid that they will implicate your nine clans? So you want to keep a distance from Zeng Zhi? It shouldn't be that serious."

Wu Ling burst out laughing, turned around and rubbed me: "Xu Xu, you really have a mouth..."

After a while, we both quieted down and lay side by side on the pillows. She looked at the ceiling and said quietly, "But you guessed right. I did get into trouble with someone. I did this to protect him. Xuxu, just think of it as helping your sister. Don't let him bother me again in the future, okay? He will be in danger."

I really don't understand what's going on here. Even if Wu Ling offended someone, it couldn't be serious enough to implicate Zeng Zhi.

There must be something else going on here.

What on earth was going on? I had no idea.

But seeing how serious Wu Ling was, I nodded and agreed to her request: "Okay, I'll try my best to persuade him."
