Chapter 24: Chapter 1: 024 Threats and Pleas_1 Chapter 24: Chapter 1: 024 Threats and Pleas_1 “Xiangwan, where did Yichen keep his underwear? I can’t find it!” The message was accompanied by a ‘pitiful’ emoji, making her look quite worried.

“…” Lin Xiangwan stared at her phone, tears streaming down her face!

She couldn’t help but sob out in sadness.

In the silent night, listening to her own crying, she felt a wave of shame.

Drying her tears, she kept telling herself that she had no right to yearn for Song Yichen since she was never good enough for him in the first place.

He was now seeing other women, she should be supportive, and she should be happy!

Why cry?

Crying would only prove how selfish she was!

She forced herself to calm down, picked up her phone, swiped open the screen, and opened up a conversation with Ni Shanshan on Whatsapp. ‘Yichen’s underwear is in the bottom drawer of the wardrobe in his bedroom, shirts are on the left, suit jackets on the right.’

After confirming the message, she sent it out!

In an instant, her line of sight blurred again!

Ni Shanshan quickly replied again, ‘Thanks. But he really has to change his habits. Why would he put his socks and underwear together? That’s how you get a fungal infection!’

‘Yes, you need to correct him in the future,’ Xiangwan typed, wiping away more tears.

Soon, her cheeks were salty from her tears, her hands were wet, and so was the phone screen.

In fact, she knew Ni Shanshan wasn’t really looking for Yichen’s underwear, but was just purposefully asking about it.

As for her, she was willing to answer this ‘obvious question’. She needed more stimulation to help her let go!

Her heartache was at its peak now, would it clear up by tomorrow morning?

She closed her swollen eyes, hoping to fall asleep quickly to numb the heartache!

…………

Ni Shanshan, holding her phone, was overjoyed. Sitting at the edge of her bed, she even lifted her legs, swinging them in the air excitedly.

“Hehe… I thought she was so in love with you. But it turns out… she doesn’t care that much about you after all!”

Song Yichen, his bathrobe still wet from his shower, fell stone-faced. He snatched the phone out of her hand.

Ni Shanshan winced in pain, but said nothing, still excitedly anticipating Song Yichen’s reaction.

Song Yichen tossed the phone onto the bed.

“Are you angry?” Ni Shanshan wasn’t sure whether to be happy or upset. She had mixed feelings!

She should be pleased that he was angry at Lin Xiangwan, but his anger made her wonder if he still had feelings for her!

“Get off!” Song Yichen pushed the woman clinging to him away forcefully!

Ni Shanshan, who had been pushed to the floor, started complaining. “Why are you pushing me? It’s not my fault that she doesn’t love you!”

Song Yichen clenched his eyes shut, his cheeks twitching.

The betrayal of Lin Xiangwan was his deepest pain and greatest humiliation!

Ni Shanshan slowly picked herself up from the floor, went up behind him, and gently hugged him. “Yichen, trust me, no other woman in this world loves you like I do!”

“…” He didn’t respond, remaining still.

Ni Shanshan pressed her cheek slowly against him. “I am the one who has always been there for you, loving you unconditionally!”

“…I know!” After Song Yichen spoke, he gently pushed her away. “It’s getting late, you should go now!”

Ni Shanshan struggled to process what he was saying. “Go? I am going to stay with you tonight…”

“I’m not interested,” said Song Yichen. “Sorry, I am a bit tired tonight!”

“It doesn’t matter, if you are tired, then tonight we will just go to sleep!” Ni Shanshan held on to his arm, persistently clinging to him.

“I’m really not in the mood tonight. I will get the driver to send you home!” Song Yichen once again pushed her away before dialing the driver’s number.

Ni Shanshan could only stand aside in anger. “Is Lin Xiangwan still in your heart?”

“…” Song Yichen didn’t say a word.

Ni Shanshan’s eyes turned red with rage. “Don’t forget who saved your life when you were on death’s door! It was me. What was Lin Xiangwan doing at that time? She was having a baby with someone else!”

“Shut up!” Song Yichen shouted harshly.

“Even if I don’t say it, don’t you already know?” Ni Shanshan kept going.

Song Yichen reached out and grabbed his phone, hurling it at Ni Shanshan’s head.

“Ah…” She screamed in terror and quickly turned her head.

With a ‘thud,’ the phone hit the wall and bounced back onto the floor.

Ni Shanshan turned pale with fear.

“Are you leaving or not?” Song Yichen asked.

Ni Shanshan burst into tears. “Song Yichen, is this how you treat the woman who saved your life? You’ve thoroughly disappointed me!”

With a huff, Ni Shanshan left the apartment in a sulk.

Song Yichen, frustrated, lit a cigarette, heavily inhaling and exhaling as the smoke blurred his facial features.

Lin Xiangwan, how could you do this to me? How could you hurt me like this?

Song Yichen closed his eyes in utter despair.

The phone rang, and after a few seconds of hesitation, Song Yichen picked it up and answered with a low: “Hello…”

The person on the other end of the phone was discontented. “What are you doing every day? Why haven’t you acquired the shares of Sheraton yet? Are you planning to show up with nothing to show at this year’s shareholders’ meeting?”

“I understand!”

“Understanding is not enough, why haven’t you acted? Do you just want to be CEO forever? You should be aiming for the position of Chairman, do you understand?” The person was close to yelling!

“I understand!” Song Yichen raised his voice.

“You understand? Then why aren’t you taking any action right now?”

“Mom, could you stop pushing me? Acquiring shares requires the right timing. We may want to buy, but if people aren’t selling, what can we do?”

“Wasn’t your plan to start negotiating with Qin Muchuan?”

“I failed!” Song Yichen slumped in defeat, speaking in a weak voice.

That night he thought he could blackmail Qin Muchuan with some dirt he had on him, coaxing him into selling him his 10 percent share of Sheraton.

But Lin Xiangwan, the idiot, messed up his plan!

As a result, he had made an enemy of Qin Muchuan!

If he now asked Qin Muchuan to sell his shares, there was no chance he would sell to him!

“Mr. Song, I am a bit confused. Why… didn’t you directly bring up the matter to Qin Muchuan in the first place? Qin Muchuan doesn’t rely on dividends from Sheraton, he doesn’t even attend the annual shareholders’ meetings. If you had proposed the offer normally, he might have agreed, right?” Song Yichen’s confidant asked.

Song Yichen twisted his mouth in bitter irony. “As a man, when faced with someone more powerful, you want to threaten him, not beg for their favor!”
