As Su Chen spoke, he took a sip of his coffee and handed her the car keys—

“Drive the car back. I’ll take a taxi after work.”

Ji Zitong glanced at him and accepted the car without hesitation. She put it into her bag and took out a few hundred yuan notes. She placed them on the table and looked at the man who was still drinking his coffee.

“Let’s go!” Su Chen looked up at her and suddenly stood up.

The husband and wife rarely went out like this. Su Chen was usually very busy with work and had been traveling often recently, otherwise then it would be Ji Zitong who was too busy. Now that she thought about it, they had not gone out like this for at least one to two months.

Without that eye-catching uniform, Su Chen and Ji Zitong were like a normal couple as they walked through the square in front of them.

The couple shuttled through the bustling underground street for a while. When they came out, Su Chen’s hands were occupied with two large bags.

“Do you want to know news about him?”

When they reached the station to pick up the car, Su Chen put the things in the car and suddenly asked her this question.

Ji Zitong paused for a moment and looked at him in a daze. She did not reply for a moment. After a while, she retracted her gaze, opened the car door, and sat inside.

“He was transferred to a town under City Z. He will leave tomorrow. It was my suggestion.”

Su Chen thought about it and did not hide it. He really did not want to see Dong Wentao. Especially when he thought about the things between him and Ji Zitong, he felt uncomfortable. Back then, Ji Zitong almost escaped from the training for him, under such circumstances, he could understand that they were still deeply in love at that time.

“I know. You don’t have to explain anything. I’ve said it before. We’re a thing of the past. You don’t have to worry about him. If there really was something, I wouldn’t have married you.”

Ji Zitong took a deep breath and slowly started the car.

“I’m just worried that you can’t forget him.”

Hearing this, Su Chen could not help but stare at her in exasperation—

What a heartless woman. If it were not for her, he would not have lowered himself to argue with such a person. The current him was nothing like he was before.

Ji Zitong listened and her heart sank. She then turned to look at the man who was standing beside the car window and looking at her.

“The person I’m married to right now is you, not him, isn’t it? You’re as petty as a needle.”

“If I wasn’t petty, you should be worried. Let’s just put this behind us. Cook something delicious tonight, I’ll get off work early today and rush over.” Su Chen finally replied at this moment.

Ji Zitong rolled her eyes at him before she drove off. In a short while, the car disappeared from Su Chen’s sight.

...

After a busy afternoon, the sky quickly quieted down. Evening arrived quietly. After spending an entire afternoon, she finally finished reading the information on hand. Dongfang Liuyun was also very tired.

She was usually quite afraid of seeing these numbers, but sometimes, the more afraid you were, the more you had to get into it.

“Manager Yun, it’s almost time to get off work. You look quite worn out today. You should get off work early.” The secretary, Ding Xiaoling, said as she packed up the documents and came over.

“Mmm, you can go home first. I’ll be leaving soon.”

“Alright, see you tomorrow, Manager Yun.”

“Mmm.”

After the secretary left, Dongfang Liuyun simply tidied up her desk, took the car keys and left the office.

The car was parked in the underground parking lot of the Dongfang Group, on the second floor.

Dongfang Liuyun did not expect to run into Jin Sheng in the elevator, just the two of them.

She frowned and saw that at the last second, just as the elevator was about to close, Jin Sheng squeezed in. Just like her, he was on his way to the second floor.

Dongfang Liuyun automatically retreated to a corner and quietly watched on as the elevator moved down. Jin Sheng was standing in front of her.

A strange feeling was spreading rapidly in this narrow space. When the figure in front turned around, Dongfang Liuyun instantly frowned.

“Are you still pretending not to know me? Dongfang Liuyun?”

There was a cold aura in his voice, and also, was there a hint of resentment?

“Even if it’s to greet, you should be the first one to do so, right? Fifth Brother-in-law?”n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

Dongfang Liuyun’s eyes were calm, but there was a hint of mockery in them. She met Jin Sheng’s gaze without blinking.

“You don’t have to provoke me like that. I thought you could really marry Fujiwara. What’s wrong? I heard that he already has a fiancée. You’re just an abandoned woman, Dongfang Liuyun!”

When he thought about how this woman treated him back then, Jin Sheng really wanted to go up and strangle her to death.

“Don’t be so indignant. Before this marriage was proposed, I already didn’t approve of it. Dongfang Ren wants to make you his good son-in-law, so there’s no need to involve me. I know you want to know what’s going on. You can go ask Dongfang Rou’er or Lin Yuanyuan. They might have all the answers,” Dongfang Liuyun replied indifferently.

“Fujiwara and I were also set up by someone. You’re just a chess piece. Believe it or not, it’s up to you.”

“Don’t put it so nicely. Do you really think that I didn’t know about your relationship with Fujiwara back then? It’s just a show between you and Fujiwara, you’re just a shameless b*tch. Your grandfather already agreed to our marriage back then. Don’t you know?”

Jin Sheng gnashed his teeth in hatred at the mention of this matter.

“Was it Dongfang Ren who told your grandfather that he agreed to this marriage?”

Dongfang Liuyun fixed her gaze on Jin Sheng.

Jin Sheng’s expression darkened for a moment. He did not reply and just looked at Dongfang Liuyun coldly.

‘Ding!’

The sound of the elevator arriving could be heard. Dongfang Liuyun’s lips curled into a sneer as her slender body quickly walk past him—

“As long as I don’t agree to something, grandfather will never force me. And I have never agreed to this marriage. I’ve told you this more than once. I can’t help it either if you won’t believe me. Moreover, you’ve also chosen Dongfang Rou’er now. Those things aren’t necessarily that important.”

“Stop right there! Let’s make things clear today! Dongfang Liuyun!”

Just as Dongfang Liuyun passed by, Jin Sheng suddenly reached out to grab her and pressed the button to close the elevator door with one hand. The elevator door that had just opened immediately closed again.

“Let go of me!”

“No! Give me a reason. What part of me isn’t good enough for you? This question has been bothering me for a long time! Was it you who sent people to surround me? Or was it Fujiwara? Tell me!”
