Seeing Du Xiaoxian coming out of the building, Du Huayue moved forward to her. “How is it? Did you tell him everything?”

Du Xiaoxian said “Yes” and held Du Huayue’s arm. Her entire body leaned on him and said in a low voice, “Brother Ah Yue, my legs are weak and I can’t walk. Take me out of here quickly. I’m afraid he will see us in his office.”

Du Huayue did not dare to raise his head. He held Du Xiaoxian in his arms and walked quickly to the bus stop.

Du Huayue hadn’t released her until they turned a corner. “Alright, it is safe here. He won’t be able to see us.”

However, just as he let go of her, Du Xiaoxian fell down and weakly called him, “Brother Ah Yue.”

Du Huayue was shocked and quickly hugged her again. They were not going to take a bus. He directly called for a taxi. He put Du Xiaoxian in the back seat and then sat in the car. He asked Du Xiaoxian to lean on him, “How are you? Are you feeling unwell?”

Du Xiaoxian lowered her head and leaned against his shoulder without saying a word. Her breathing was so gentle that the sound could not be heard. After a long time, she finally let out a deep breath. Then, she gasped lightly. It was as if she had been holding her breath for too long and could not recover for a moment.

Du Huayue also felt uncomfortable. He held her in his arms and patted her on the back. “I know you feel bad. Take a break. It will be over.”

“Brother Ah Yue,” Du Xiaoxian grabbed his sleeve and said softly, “He is very sad. He looks awful. I…”

“I know. It’s fine. It’s over. Xiaoxian, you are great. You did it and you will get better in the future…”

“I feel very bad.” Du Xiaoxian hit her chest hard, and her voice almost choked with sobs. “It’s really bad!”

“I know.” Du Huayue quickly grabbed her hand. “If you feel bad, let yourself cry. When you cry, you will feel well. Xiaoxian, let yourself cry!”

Du Xiaoxian opened her mouth wide, and her tears silently rolled down like pouring rain in an instant! She really felt very uncomfortable. Her bloody heart seemed to have been rubbed with salt, stinging with extreme pain. She could not breathe as her throat was blocked. It was so uncomfortable that she just wanted to die immediately…

She grabbed Du Huayue’s arm hard and pressed her forehead against it, crying like an injured little beast.

The driver in the front glanced at the rearview mirror a few times curiously and finally could not help but say, “Did you encounter something difficult? The little girl is very sad!”

However, no one answered him. Du Huayue’s face was livid, and his two dark thick eyebrows wrinkled as if he was extremely angry.

He didn’t care whether Gu Nianbin was hurt or not. But when he saw Du Xiaoxian was so painful, he felt very uncomfortable. His eyes unconsciously turned moist. He never uttered a word when he felt hard as he served in the army. But now he couldn’t stand it anymore. The weak little girl cried silently in his arms and only took a breath after a long time. He was worried that if she couldn’t take a breath, she would faint. So he could only keep patting her back and coax her, “Stop crying, Xiaoxian. It has passed. Don’t forget that you are not alone now. Your child will be affected if you cry like this… It will be afraid…”

Du Xiaoxian’s body shook, and she started to take deep breathes. She said disjointedly, “I won’t cry. I won’t cry anymore…”

However, she could not hold back her tears. She felt so anxious that she choked and coughed severely as she failed to take a breath, causing Du Huayue to become worried. He put one hand in front of her and let her lean on it, and gently stroked her back with the other hand. “Breathe slowly. Don’t make yourself sick. Since you have decided, you should be strong. Xiaoxian, you can do it. Didn’t you do well just now? I was scared downstairs, afraid that you would reveal any flaws. But when you came out, I knew that you did it…”

Yes, she did it. Du Xiaoxian finally got the cough under control after coughing a few more times. Originally, she thought that she could not make it. As long as she faced him, she would become weak and melt in his dark eyes. She could not tell lies either. She would avert her gaze, and her face would turn red. He would definitely see that she was lying. She never told lies in front of him.

But she had actually made it. Even she herself had not expected that those words were spoken so naturally and smoothly, as if they were her innermost thought and feelings. Even she herself was about to believe them. It turned out that lying was not as difficult as she had imagined. She had passed the most difficult hurdle!

Shao Boqing pushed open the door and came in. When he saw Zhou Ting sitting in a daze, he moved toward her quietly and patted her heavily on the shoulder.

Zhou Ting was shocked, but she only glanced at him as she patted her chest.

“Secretary Zhou, the company is facing a great enemy now. As the president’s secretary, you are actually absent-minded at work. You shouldn’t be like this, right?”

Zhou Ting did not retort as usual. Her expression was indifferent as if she disdained to argue with him.

Shao Boqing felt snubbed and he was a little embarrassed. He coughed as he walked to Gu Nianbin’s office. “Is your boss inside?”

This time, Zhou Ting reacted quickly. She moved forward to block him. “Mr. Shao, the boss told me that he didn’t want to see guests now.”

“Am I a guest?” Shao Boqing found it a little funny and walked around her to move forward again.

Zhou Ting stopped him again. “Mr. Shao, how about you come to see him later? The boss really doesn’t want to see anyone now.” In fact, Gu Nianbin did not have any instructions, but Zhou Ting felt that he would not be in the mood to see anyone at this moment.

Shao Boqing was confused. “What on earth happened?”

“He, ” Zhou Ting looked a little awkward, but she still told the truth, “He is not in a good mood.”

“Then I will go and enlighten him.” Shao Boqing pulled her away and reached out to touch the doorknob.

Zhou Ting turned anxious. She didn’t care too much and grabbed Shao Boqing’s arm and pulled him backward.

Shao Boqing was even more confused. With his relationship with Gu Nianbin, she need not treat him like this. He felt that something was wrong and asked Zhou Ting seriously, “What happened to Nianbin?”

Zhou Ting pulled him all the way to the corridor before heaving a sigh of relief. “The boss got hurt deathly this time.”

When Shao Boqing heard this, he became anxious and growled, “Alas, tell me what happened to him. You make me so worried.”

“This is my guess,” Zhou Ting looked around, moving close to Shao Boqing’s ear and saying, “Du Xiaoxian broke up with the boss.”

“Ah?” Shao Boqing widened his eyes. “Really? Did she leave him again? Didn’t Gu Nianbin have to look for her again? This little girl was so insensible. Why did she cause trouble at this moment?”

“It’s nothing if she just left alone.” Zhou Ting said angrily, “But she left with another man.”

Shao Boqing was even more shocked. “She found a new boyfriend in just two months? Who is he?”

“He was far away and I couldn’t see him clearly. Anyway, it was a man. He was tall and thin and looked very young. After Du Xiaoxian went downstairs, the two of them walked away together, and he was holding her in his arm.”

Shao Boqing was still a little suspicious. “Are you sure that they really break up?”

“Probably.” Zhou Ting snorted. “If I had known that she was here to show the boss her hand, I should have stopped her. When she came out, she looked calm, but the boss appeared terrible. Then he smashed things inside and lost his temper. I have never seen him like that. So you shouldn’t go in now and let him be alone inside.”

Hearing what Zhou Ting said, Shao Boqing fell silent. He frowned as he paced along the corridor. His leather shoes made a dull sound as they stepped on the clean floor tiles.

After walking back and forth twice, he stopped and said, “You should pay more attention to him today. I’m afraid that he won’t be able to think things through. Call me immediately if anything happens. I have to keep an eye on the stock market.”

“But,” Zhou Ting said awkwardly, “The boss won’t let me in. I…”

Shao Boqing glared at her. “Don’t you usually peek inside through the cracks of the door?”

Zhou Ting smiled embarrassedly and said, “Then I will go in first.”

Shao Boqing nodded and looked thoughtfully at the door closed by Zhou Ting. He understood Gu Nianbin’s feelings for Du Xiaoxian. If Du Xiaoxian really broke up with him, it would be like the sky collapsing for Gu Nianbin!

On the second thought, he felt that this was good to Gu Nianbin. What’s so good about that heartless little girl? If he married Xia Xiaowan, the Xia Group will help them. Then the company’s predicament will be solved.

Gu Nianbin still maintained his posture and did not move. He leaned against the wall and stared blankly at the mess in the room. He did not understand why things had turned out like this.

When Du Xiaoxian was not by his side, he didn’t need to pay attention to her and could devote himself to his work. He wanted to end the battle early and bring back his little girl as soon as possible. But suddenly, he was told that all of this was meaningless.

His hopes and his expectations had all become an illusion!

The beautiful life he expected fell apart in front of him, turned into dust, and was taken away by the wind. Nothing remained but him, a lonely and desperate man!

His heart was in intense pain that arose one wave after another. It was so painful that his back was sweating. He slowly propped himself up against the wall and walked to the lounge in a daze.

He was so tired and needed to sleep. Perhaps when he woke up, he may realize that this was just a dream.

Without even taking off his shoes, he fell on the bed, pulling the quilt to cover himself.

Zhou Ting pressed herself against the door for a long time to listen to what was happening. There was no sound from the inside. Then she peeked through the cracks of the door to search every corner. But there was no trace of Gu Nianbin. She was shocked and recalled Shao Boqing’s words, so she quickly opened the door and went in.

The room was still in a mess, and there were many cigarette burns on the carpet close to the wall and a pile of cigarette butts aside. It seemed that she had to change the carpet for the president’s office. But where did he go? The large floor-to-ceiling glass was intact and there was no hint of falling down. Then, she was shocked again. She immediately thought of something terrible and quickly went to the bathroom. When she opened the door, she found that no one was inside.

She looked around and went to the door of the lounge to listen to the sound inside. The lounge was silent. She gently unlocked the door and heaved a sigh of relief when she saw Gu Nianbin lying on the bed.

She tip-toed her way to him, quietly taking off his shoes and covering him with the quilt. Then she tiptoed back to the office and began to tidy up the things on the ground.

She did not dare to make a single sound all along. When she cleaned things on the coffee table, she saw the test report. Zhou Ting covered her mouth in shock. Could it be… Could it be… it was impossible…

So that was what had happened. No wonder the boss’s eyes were so desperate. He was cuckolded!

Zhou Ting was so angry that she gasped for breath. She wished she could smash the things she picked up on the ground again. She cursed Du Xiaoxian in her heart: “Little bitch!”
