《Mr. Mo, Your Wife Is Charming the World Again》 Chapter 1 Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio Early summer. 10:40 pm. In Jongvale, it started to rain once more. Meng Yue stuck her hand out of the window, feeling the raindrops falling on her palm. She suddenly remembered a saying: Some people wait for misty rain, some blame the rain for arriving too unexpectedly, others wait for an umbrella, and yet others wait for the rain to cease¡­ As for her, she had been foolishly awaiting Xiang Haoyu¡¯s return in the empty house! Even if he returned once, it would be good! That way, she wouldn¡¯t have felt aggrieved about the three years of marriage that she had spent without her husband by her side! She turned around and looked at the dishes on the table. She smiled bitterly. Then, she made a call. The phone rang for a long time before it was impatiently answered. ¡°Have you thought it through and agree to a divorce?¡± The word ¡°divorce¡± made Meng Yue¡¯s head feel heavy. ¡°I¡­¡± The man¡¯s cold and sarcastic voice traveled down the phone. ¡°If it¡¯s not about a divorce, then I¡¯ll hang up first. I¡¯m busy here!¡± Meng Yue could hear the sarcasm in his voice and swallowed nervously. ¡°Haoyu, are you coming back tonight? I¡¯ve made you your favorite dishes¡­¡± Xiang Haoyu coldly interrupted her. ¡°I¡¯ll sleep at Qing¡¯er¡¯s tonight. One more thing, don¡¯t call me again! ¡°Your voice disgusts me! ¡°Hello, President Mo. I¡¯m Xiang Haoyu. I¡¯ve heard so much about you!¡± ¡°Beep, beep, beep¡­¡± The call had been disconnected! Meng Yue looked at the phone which had just been hung up, and the corner of her mouth curled up. With a smack, the phone in her hand was thrown on the table and slid to the ground. ¡°S***bag!¡± Then, she threw the mop beside her. ¡°To h*** with repaying kindness!¡± Following that, the plates on the table fell to the ground and the room was in a complete mess! ¡°To h*** with that virtuous woman!¡± In the next second, she kicked the stool beside the sofa, and the stool fell into the mess. At this time, Meng Yue did not feel angry or uncomfortable. Instead, she felt completely at ease. ¡°Xiang Haoyu, aren¡¯t you being too brazen? Let¡¯s compete to see who sleeps more!¡± Not long after, she came out of the room in an exquisite dress. She took one last look at the mess on the ground, picked up the phone off the floor, and left. ¡°I¡¯m going to spend the night out!¡± Half an hour later, a red Mercedes-Benz stopped in front of a high-end club. Meng Yue got out of the car. When she was leaving the house, she had still been feeling bold and in high spirits. After entering the club, she suddenly felt a little cowardly. She couldn¡¯t possibly follow his actions! Didn¡¯t that mean she was of the same ilk as Xiang Haoyu? ¡°Sigh!¡± ¡°You¡¯re already here!¡± In that case, she might as well enjoy the top-notch service here! Private room 1808. A beautiful attendant followed her in and asked, ¡°Miss, what can I do for you?¡± Meng Yue looked around the room and took a deep breath. ¡°Get three or four people to chat with me. I want them to be big and tall. Add on some fruits and snacks!¡± The attendant left the room with a smile on her face. They had seen a lot of people who appeared young and shy, but in fact, were bold and open. Just as Meng Yue was hesitating about whether to pay the bill and leave, there was a knock on the door. Four tall and handsome young men walked in. After a simple greeting, the five sat down. It was obvious that Meng Yue was more nervous than them! The four men chatted leisurely with her. They didn¡¯t know her habits and preferences, so they didn¡¯t dare to say anything dirty. However, they were thinking that, since she picked four of them, it means that her experience should be extraordinary! Thus, one of the bolder men placed his arm around Meng Yue¡¯s shoulder. ¡°I¡¯m 27 this year. Should I address you as big sister or little sister?¡± Meng Yue looked at the hand on her shoulder and her entire body tensed up. ¡°I¡­ I¡¯m 24!¡± The man smiled gently, his big hand smoothly moving from her shoulder to her waist. ¡°So you¡¯re a little sister!¡± Meng Yue felt the hand on her waist and frowned. Endure! Meng Yue, you¡¯re here to spend! You¡¯re here to enjoy yourself! Don¡¯t be so tense, relax! ¡°Yueyue, don¡¯t be nervous. Come and have some fruit!¡± As he spoke, the other man sat down on Meng Yue¡¯s other side and stuffed a grape into her mouth. ¡°Alright¡­¡± Meng Yue¡¯s body stiffened. She was so nervous that her heart almost jumped out of her throat. When the man¡¯s hand moved from her waist to her thigh, Meng Yue could no longer hold it in! ¡°Erm, I¡¯m sorry, I need to go to the washroom!¡± She fled in panic! The spots where the man had touched her felt hot and uncomfortable. ¡°Good-for-nothing!¡± ¡°You¡¯re so jittery after being touched by a man!¡± She caressed her burning face and quickly walked in the direction of the washroom. At this moment, a name that was called out in the private room to the left caught her attention. The woman said, ¡°Haoyu, come, let¡¯s drink!¡± Meng Yue¡¯s eyes flashed. Haoyu? Was it Xiang Haoyu? She looked through the half-closed door, and sure enough, the man sitting beside the main seat was Xiang Haoyu. Xiang Haoyu teasingly put his arm around the woman¡¯s waist. ¡°Don¡¯t you have eyes? President Mo is here, why are you toasting me?¡± As he spoke, he looked towards the man in the main seat ingratiatingly. ¡°Quick, go and have a drink with President Mo!¡± The smack that reverberated in the private room made others feel shy and embarrassed. The woman blushed shyly and scolded Xiang Haoyu, ¡°S***bag!¡± ¡°You¡¯re so bad!¡± Xiang Haoyu teased, ¡°I¡¯ll be even worse later!¡± Outside the room, Meng Yue¡¯s face turned pale. Her nails dug into her palms as her hands hung by her side. Meng Yue, this is the man you¡¯ve been married to and whom you¡¯ve been waiting for for three years! Have you given up? Meng Yue, you¡¯re really ridiculous! At this moment in the private room, the woman called ¡°Qing¡¯er¡± walked towards the man in the main seat. ¡°President Mo, Qing¡¯er offers you a toast!¡± Meanwhile, the man who had been respectfully addressed as ¡°President Mo¡± had on a somber expression as he coolly accepted the glass of wine from the woman. In the dark, Xiang Haoyu was looking at the wine glass, his eyes shining calculatively. Meng Yue left with sarcasm written all over her face! She had always known that Xiang Haoyu was very busy, and had also imagined what he was busy with. She lingered among the flowers, caressed by their leaves. Perhaps she should play with the group of young men until late at night, with alcohol, nightclubs, KTV¡­ Tonight, she had finally witnessed it with her own eyes! She entered the washroom and splashed the water on her face. The image of Xiang Haoyu flirting with that woman kept replaying in her mind. She held on to the sink and sneered. She raised her head and saw an exquisite and beautiful face in the mirror. She had delicate facial features, generous makeup, and was tall with a perfect figure. However, she was the little princess of the Meng family. Even if she was not favored, she did not need to humble herself! When her fingers touched the mirror, Meng Yue¡¯s face was already covered in tears. ¡°I¡¯m sorry, sister¡­ ¡°I can¡¯t hold on any longer!¡± She wiped away her tears and dialed a number. ¡°Xiang Haoyu, as you wish! ¡°Let¡¯s get a divorce!¡± Chapter 2 Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio Xiang Haoyu was obviously stunned. ¡°Can you repeat that?¡± Meng Yue wiped away her tears and walked out of the bathroom. ¡°I said, let¡¯s get a divorce and get it done tomorrow!¡± Xiang Haoyu laughed out loud. ¡°Good!¡± ¡°Meng Yue, if you dare to go back on your word, I¡¯ll make you pay!¡± Meng Yue smiled bitterly. ¡°Alright!¡± After hanging up the phone, she instantly felt a sense of relief. Using three years of youth and first marriage to commemorate a person¡¯s love, it should be enough! From now on, she wanted to live for herself! ¡°Oh¡­¡± As she was deep in thought, Meng Yue bumped into someone. Ignoring the pain on her forehead, she immediately apologized. ¡°I¡¯m sorry, are you okay?¡± She looked up and saw a cold and handsome face. The man was around 190 cm tall, while Meng Yue was only 165 cm. She could only look up at him. Suddenly, she felt that this face was a little familiar. Right! He was the man who had just sat with Xiang Haoyu at the head of the table. They had called him ¡°President Mo¡±. Meng Yue laughed sarcastically. He was handsome, but how could he be any good if he had been sitting with Xiang Haoyu? Mo Hanchen looked at the girl in front of him and his eyes flashed. His already restless heart burned even more intensely when he smelled the fresh milky fragrance on her body. He instinctively pressed her against the wall and leaned close to her neck. ¡°What¡¯s your name?¡± The man¡¯s voice was hoarse and low. Sensing the threat, Meng Yue¡¯s face became rigid, fear rising in her eyes. ¡°What are you trying to do?¡± She looked at the man¡¯s reddened eyes and suddenly had a bad feeling. ¡°If I had injured you, I can apologize and compensate¡­¡± Mo Hanchen¡¯s breathing was rapid, and Meng Yue felt very uncomfortable. ¡°Do you have a boyfriend?¡± At this moment, he had already lost his usual self-control. When he didn¡¯t hear an answer, the man leaned closer. ¡°What?¡± Meng Yue was struggling in fear. ¡°What do you mean?¡± He leaned forward again. ¡°Are you clean?¡± Meng Yue¡¯s expression froze for a moment before she nodded. Then, as if she had suddenly thought of something, she started to shake her head desperately. ¡°It¡¯s not clean!¡± ¡°I¡­ I frequent nightclubs!¡± The man raised his eyebrows and pinched her chin with his index finger. ¡°That¡¯s perfect!¡± Meng Yue felt that something was amiss! She wasn¡¯t clean, so how could it be perfect? She started to struggle violently. ¡°Sir, release me first. This is a high-end club. If you want to vent, I¡¯ll treat you!¡± However, the man did not give her a chance to speak and pulled her into the men¡¯s washroom. Meng Yue was panicking! ¡°What do you want?¡± She struggled with all her might as she pushed against the door of the washroom. ¡°Help¡­¡± However, how could her strength be compared to a robust man? He pulled her in ruthlessly! With a ¡°bang¡±, the door was locked! ¡°Help¡­¡± Three minutes later, the entire 18th floor was sealed off! Ten minutes later, the entire club was sealed off! An hour later, Mo Hanchen carried the unconscious Meng Yue out of the washroom with a surly expression on his face. He then speedily walked into the elevator with trepidation and went straight to the presidential suite on the top floor. Mo Yu walked behind Mo Hanchen, holding a lady¡¯s handbag in his hand. He jogged to open the door for his boss. He did not need to look at his boss¡¯s face to know that the atmosphere was strange. What they had done was self-evident! The woman¡¯s hair was messy and swayed with the man¡¯s footsteps. He could not see the woman¡¯s face because she was wearing a men¡¯s suit! In the suite. Mo Hanchen wrung a towel and gently cleaned the woman up as he gazed at her. She was still in a cold sweat despite being unconscious. His face darkened. Little girl! She had lied to him! He pursed his lips as he recalled their conversation about ¡®cleanliness¡¯. ¡°It¡¯s clearly spotless!¡± ¡°If you tell me the truth, maybe I¡¯ll be gentler.¡± However, if she had said that she was still clean, then he probably wouldn¡¯t have touched her! After all, the cleaner it was, the more troublesome it was! At least, that was how it was to him! That was because cleanliness meant responsibility, while unclean meant that both parties were willing. But¡­ She had been unwilling earlier¡­ At this moment, he was in great spirits. Another hour later, Mo Hanchen came out of the bathroom in cold air and put on a bathrobe before he left the room. Mo Yu was waiting outside the door. ¡°Speak!¡± Mo Yu said respectfully, ¡°It¡¯s Xiang Haoyu from the Xiang Group!¡± Mo Hanzheng¡¯s eyes turned grim as he remembered the glass of wine Xiang Haoyu had asked that woman to give him. ¡°He¡¯s really unscrupulous!¡± He glanced in the direction of the bedroom. ¡°What about her?¡± Mo Yu swallowed and handed the information in his hand to his boss. The expression on his face was very odd, as if he was about to twitch. ¡°Her name is Meng Yue. She¡¯s the youngest daughter of the Meng family. The situation in the Meng family is complicated.¡± ¡°Mm¡­ Also, she¡¯s Xiang Haoyu¡¯s wife!¡± In an instant, the entire suite fell into a dead silence. The air was filled with a murderous aura. After that, Mo Yu left! Mo Hanchen was stunned for a long time before he picked up Meng Yue¡¯s information. The more he read, the more peculiar the expression on his face became. She was actually a married woman! What an irony, she was also Xiang Haoyu¡¯s wife! It seemed more like a joke. This married woman had been married to Xiang Haoyu for three years, but she was still as clean as ever! Were the heavens playing with him? Back in the bedroom, he lay sideways on the bed and pulled the person beside him into his arms. He wiped the cold sweat off her forehead. His expression was a little perplexed, and his lips curved into a smile. ¡°Whether you like it or not, we might be entangled for a lifetime¡­¡± he said. Early in the morning. The sky was faintly bright. Meng Yue slowly opened her eyes. There were dim lights on both sides of the soft bed. She had been awakened by the soft sound of the door closing! Her light sleep was caused by Xiang Haoyu. Every time she heard some movement at night, she would think that he had returned. As time went on, she developed neurasthenia. The moment she moved, she felt a piercing pain. In an instant, some bad memories flashed through her mind. Looking at the faint light outside the window, Meng Yue swallowed. ¡°Meng Yue, you¡¯re really capable!¡± She had actually cheated on him! And it had been on the night before the divorce! She only knew that his surname was ¡®Mo¡¯, but she didn¡¯t even know his name. Meng Yue was once again stunned by the silence in the room. Prepare to escape! Because her clothes were torn, she had taken one of the man¡¯s shirts. After she sneaked away, Mo Hanchen walked out of the study. ¡°Have you gotten rid of the reporters outside?¡± Mo Yu followed him out. ¡°There are too many; I can¡¯t get rid of them. But I¡¯ve arranged for a car to pick her up downstairs! ¡°Mrs. Xiang¡¯s identity definitely will not be discovered!¡± Mo Hanchen¡¯s face scowled when he heard the words ¡®Mrs. Xiang¡¯. ¡°Call her Miss Meng!¡± Mo Yu was obviously dumbfounded. It was just a form of address, and he was already so insistent? ¡°Even if she¡¯s clean, she¡¯s still Mrs. Xiang if she¡¯s not divorced! Besides, Master is clean and wealthy. There¡¯s no need to get entangled with a married woman!¡± Mo Hanchen poured himself a glass of wine. ¡°She¡¯ll get a divorce!¡± As he looked at the wine-red liquid, his mind was filled with the image of her crying out in pain in his arms like a cat. He finished the red wine in his glass and put down the blanket. ¡°Mrs Mo obviously sounds better!¡± Chapter 3 Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio Mo Yu¡¯s mouth twitched. Alright! He could already imagine what kind of messy path lay ahead! ¡°Master, I beg you to reconsider!¡± Mo Hanchen poured another glass and pushed one towards Mo Yu. ¡°There¡¯s nothing to reconsider!¡± When he realized that it was her first time, there was no need for him to think twice! ¡°The outcome has already been decided!¡± Mo Yu was so scared that he almost knelt down. ¡°Master¡­ ¡°You¡¯re snatching someone else¡¯s wife. It¡¯s immoral. Besides, the old man has already given you¡­¡± Mo Hanchen interrupted him. ¡°Give me all of Xiang Group¡¯s current projects under construction and their plans for the next three years! ¡°Get me all the information you have on Meng Yue, including her nominal marriage! ¡°The more detailed, the better!¡± Mo Yu had given up! His boss was getting serious! If he got serious, he wouldn¡¯t make way for anyone¡­ Meng Yue had just stepped out of the elevator in a panic when she was stopped by a man. ¡°Miss Meng, it¡¯s a bit chaotic outside. Please come with me!¡± Meng Yue wanted to refuse, but when she saw the crowd of people at the entrance of the hotel, she nodded. ¡°I¡¯ll have to trouble you!¡± She glanced at the name tag on the man¡¯s chest. ¡®Qiu Shan, Manager.¡¯ Qiu Shan brought her to the VIP parking space, where rows of luxury cars were parked. Meng Yue was invited to a black Hummer. When the car drove to the entrance of the club, she saw a ¡®Closed¡¯ sign in front of the hotel, as well as a horde of reporters and paparazzi with their cameras. Meng Yue suddenly realized that she was like a clown. She thought that she had escaped from the previous night¡¯s nightmare, but in fact, every step she took was part of someone else¡¯s plan. She clutched her collar tightly and instantly felt that the situation was grim! It was even more serious than her cheating on her husband! Who was the man who had taken advantage of her the night before? Would she be killed? Or, was there something more terrifying than silence? She looked at the solemn-looking man in the driver¡¯s seat. There were a few times when she wanted to seek clarification, but each time she opened her mouth, nothing came out. Forget it! There was no need! The previous night had just been a nightmare! Now that it was dawn, she had woken up from her nightmare! She gave him the address and the car drove straight to the West Coast Water City. Meng Yue thanked him with an ashen face and ran to the elevator. Wang Ming, who had been pretending to be serious all this time, let out a heavy breath and made a call to report that he had safely sent his passenger to her home. When she entered the house and saw the mess in the dining room, she scratched her head in frustration. Upon smelling the stench of the overnight food, she wanted to beat herself up! ¡°D*** it!¡± ¡°Impulsiveness is a devil!¡± If she had not lost her mind the day before, she would not have met that man! If she hadn¡¯t met that man, she wouldn¡¯t be in such a sorry state now! She did not see him when she woke up that morning! However, she remembered his face clearly! She could even remember his every expression. Looking at the white shirt she was wearing, she didn¡¯t clean up the dining room. Instead, she went into the bathroom and prepared to tidy herself up before coming out to clean up the mess. While she was taking a shower, she scolded herself heatedly. At that moment, Xiang Haoyu entered the room after pressing on the fingerprint lock, calling Meng Yue¡¯s name. This was the second time he had stepped into this place since he had gotten married. ¡°Meng Yue! ¡°Come out!¡± He called Meng Yue¡¯s name as he walked towards the bedroom. Inside the cloakroom, Meng Yue was frantically rummaging through her closet for a long-sleeved shirt to wear. However, just as she was about to change her clothes, the door of the dressing room was pushed open from the outside. Meng Yue heard the doorknob turning and thought she was hallucinating, so she didn¡¯t pay much attention to it. ¡°Meng Yue!¡± Meng Yue froze on the spot. When she saw the man by the door, she cried out in shock. ¡°Ah¡­¡± ¡°Xiang Haoyu, get out!¡± Xiang Haoyu, who was standing at the door, was also stunned. ¡°Meng Yue, what¡¯s that on your body? You¡­¡± However, before he could finish his question, he had already been thrown out by Meng Yue. She even locked the door. Xiang Haoyu¡¯s angry roar and the sound of him banging on the door from the outside made Meng Yue even more panicked! What to do? What to do? Looking at the marks all over her body in the mirror, she was so flustered that her whole body was trembling. What to do? Why was he here? Did he find out that she had been with that man surnamed Mo? ¡°Impossible! ¡°Meng Yue, calm down!¡± While yelling at the door, Meng Yue cursed inside at the man who had been born in the year of the dog. ¡°Xiang Haoyu, I¡¯m just changing my clothes. If you keep banging away, I¡¯m going to call the police!¡± Meng Yue gritted her teeth and started to leave marks on her body. The force was so great that her eyes started tearing! She only stopped when the door had almost been broken by Xiang Haoyu, quickly putting on her clothes. By the time she had put on her clothes and gone out, Xiang Haoyu had almost turned her room upside down like a nutcase. ¡°Xiang Haoyu, is there something wrong with your f***ing brain?¡± With a ¡°swish¡±, Xiang Haoyu had already appeared before her after taking a couple of big steps. The man¡¯s eyes were red with fury, and he pulled at Meng Yue¡¯s clothes like a madman. ¡°Meng Yue, let me see what you¡¯ve done.¡± Meng Yue kicked him in anger. ¡°You¡¯re crazy! Let go of me!¡± Xiang Haoyu didn¡¯t care. He didn¡¯t let go even when she kicked him. It was as if he had been cuckolded for tens of thousands of years. ¡°Meng Yue, you¡¯d better give me a clear explanation! ¡°If you don¡¯t give me an explanation, I¡¯ll kill you!¡± ¡°Xiang Haoyu, you b******!¡± Meng Yue cried out in distress. He had pulled open the lower part of her dress, and she desperately guarded the collar that she was about to lose hold on. Looking at his terrifying face, Meng Yue was filled with fear. What kind of animal had she been waiting for and looking forward to for the past three years? ¡°Xiang Haoyu, you b******!¡± ¡°Let¡¯s get a divorce!¡± Xiang Haoyu would not listen to her at all! ¡°I was wondering why you¡¯re suddenly asking for a divorce. Tell me, are you having an affair?¡± Meng Yue bit his arm in anger. ¡°Hiss¡­ B****!¡± Xiang Haoyu gave Meng Yue a tight slap across the face. Immediately, an obvious handprint appeared on her face. ¡°B****!¡± The man ruthlessly grabbed her collar. ¡°Speak! Do you have a man outside?¡± Seeing that she was not speaking, the man threatened, ¡°Well?¡± Meng Yue covered her face, suddenly no longer panicking. She looked at his hideous and embarrassed face. ¡°Yes! ¡°I had an affair. Let¡¯s get a divorce!¡± Xiang Haoyu went even crazier after hearing that. As he spoke, he was about to tear her clothes. ¡°Meng Yue, you b****! ¡°I¡¯ll kill you!¡± He tore her shirt apart like a lunatic, and the buttons fell all over the floor. When he saw the red marks all over Meng Yue¡¯s body, his eyes turned red. He wanted to kill her. Moreover, he was about to do it! He gripped Meng Yue¡¯s neck tightly. ¡°You cheap woman, you deserve to die! ¡°How dare you make me a cuckold? I¡¯ll send you to hell!¡± Meng Yue couldn¡¯t breathe. At the last second, she used all her strength to kick his lower abdomen. ¡°Ow¡­¡± He was in so much pain that he had curled up on the floor, rolling and wailing. Meng Yue went into the cloakroom to change. She calmly looked at Xiang Haoyu suffering. ¡°Xiang Haoyu, let¡¯s get a divorce!¡± Xiang Haoyu gritted his teeth. ¡°Don¡¯t even think about it!¡± Meng Yue clenched her fists, her palms covered in cold sweat. It was her fault for having an affair! However, if Xiang Haoyu found out that she had another man now, he would definitely not divorce her! He would also spread the news of her affair to everyone, making it such that the Meng family would not be able to lift their heads up high! Therefore, she had to lie! She had had enough of this kind of life where they didn¡¯t love each other, but still had to wait for love! Chapter 4 Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio Tears of grievance streamed down her face. Meng Yue said, ¡°Xiang Haoyu, we¡¯ve been married for three years. Do you know that I have masochistic tendencies?¡± Xiang Haoyu¡¯s eyes flickered, and he only replied after a long while. ¡°Impossible!¡± Finally, Xiang Haoyu began to examine Meng Yue carefully. He had never thoroughly looked at Meng Yue, but now that he did, she looked 70% similar to Meng Wan. Especially the nose and mouth¡­ Meng Yue subconsciously wrapped her arms around her body. ¡°These marks on my body were not left by a man. I pinched myself!¡± She leaned against the door. ¡°Every time I think of you, I can¡¯t help but want to contact you. However, I know that the person you really like is my sister. I also know that you married me just to fulfill my sister¡¯s wish and for the Xiang and Meng family businesses. I know you don¡¯t like me, and even detest me, find me annoying, hate me. I also know that you¡¯ve become like this, lingering with other women and not returning home because you married me!¡± The more she spoke, the more aggrieved Meng Yue became. She yelled at Xiang Haoyu to vent her anger. ¡°But I¡¯d rather I was the one who had died in the car accident! ¡°I don¡¯t want to be saved!¡± At this moment, Xiang Haoyu¡¯s lower abdomen was trembling with pain. His heart did the same at the mention of the car accident! It was his youth and his heart that had died in that car accident! Meng Yue curled up in pain and leaned against the door. ¡°I¡¯m trying my best to be a good and virtuous wife. I don¡¯t care about your social life, I don¡¯t care about your private life, I work hard to learn how to cook, and I don¡¯t disturb your fun, even though I¡¯m also suffering living such a life! ¡°It¡¯s so painful that every time I think of you, I will unconsciously punish myself for my incompetence!¡± She stood up straight, lifted the hem of her clothes, and turned around to let him look at her back and her waist. ¡°All these on me were left behind by my self-abuse, and they¡¯re all very fresh!¡± As she said this, she sniffed. ¡°When you and your Qing¡¯er were in love, I pinched myself. I pinched myself again when you were having sex with your Xiu¡¯er. When you used being busy as an excuse to not answer the phone, I pinched myself more. When you forced me to get a divorce, I couldn¡¯t do anything but pinch myself!¡± She touched the red marks on her body, her tears falling continuously. ¡°All this on my body is your fault!¡± Xiang Haoyu¡¯s face froze. He looked at the marks all over her body and her tear-stained face. He endured the pain in his lower abdomen and his expression turned stormy. ¡°Meng Yue, do you think I¡¯ll believe your nonsense? ¡°Do you think I can¡¯t even tell a hickey from a pinch?¡± Meng Yue sneered. ¡°It¡¯s up to you whether you believe it or not. I don¡¯t care anymore!¡± Wiping her tears, she asked, ¡°Do you see the mess on the dining room floor?¡± Meng Yue scoffed. ¡°Actually, that was the meal I made for you last night! Because you didn¡¯t return, I destroyed it! That table of food represented my heart, and I¡¯ve smashed my heart into pieces!¡± She accused him of being heartless. ¡°Congratulations, Xiang Haoyu! ¡°You win. We¡¯ll get a divorce!¡± She roared angrily, ¡°Whoever doesn¡¯t leave is the loser! Whoever doesn¡¯t leave will go to the eighteenth level of hell!¡± Xiang Haoyu¡¯s eyes flickered when he saw how hysterical she was. ¡°Meng Yue, you¡¯re in such a hurry to get a divorce. You must be feeling guilty!¡± He pointed at Meng Yue with a dark expression. ¡°Swear that you¡¯ve never done anything to let me down!¡± Meng Yue¡¯s eyes flashed, and she tried his best to hide the alarm in her eyes. ¡°Why should I swear? ¡°Why don¡¯t you regret the many despicable things you¡¯ve done in this marriage? How many things have you done to let me down?¡± Xiang Haoyu¡¯s face was so embarrassed that he stopped speaking! Meng Yue laughed sarcastically. ¡°Xiang Haoyu, don¡¯t tell me you suddenly fell in love with me and don¡¯t want to divorce me anymore?¡± Xiang Haoyu chuckled! ¡°You¡¯re simply delusional!¡± Meng Yue sneered. ¡°So, we¡¯re getting a divorce! ¡°Your Qing¡¯er is so beautiful. She knows how to toast on your behalf, and she also knows how to tease and chat with you. You should be eager to marry her, right?¡± Xiang Haoyu¡¯s eyes turned vicious. ¡°You¡­ ¡°Meng Yue, you¡¯re getting more and more daring! You actually dared to follow me!¡± Meng Yue wiped her tears and made up her mind. ¡°If you don¡¯t agree to the divorce, I¡¯ll take legal action! If this goes on, even if I didn¡¯t die in the car accident, I would be forced to die by this marriage!¡± As she spoke, she pointed to the window behind him. ¡°Maybe in the future, I won¡¯t be torturing and pinching myself, but I¡¯ll jump down from here!¡± Xiang Haoyu watched her leave. ¡°Meng Yue, get back here!¡± he bellowed with a gloomy expression. ¡°Take me to the hospital! ¡°Meng Yue, you b****, get back here!¡± The answer to that was the sound of Meng Yue slamming the door shut. Xiang Haoyu lay limply on the ground, his face ashen. They could finally get a divorce. He should be setting off fireworks to celebrate, but why was he feeling sad and flustered for no reason? He could see the determination and pain in her eyes! She was blameless in that car accident, and to be saved, she must have felt more agony and self-blame than death itself. His eyes flickered when he thought of the marks all over her body. It was as if something had opened up in his heart, paralyzing his entire body¡­ Meng Yue left the bedroom without looking back. This was not her residence to begin with. It was their marital home under Xiang Haoyu¡¯s name. If she had not remembered incorrectly, this should be his second time here! And the last time had been three years ago on their wedding night! She took with her only her phone and handbag. She walked out of the house and into the elevator. Meng Yue was still jittery! She wondered if Xiang Haoyu believed that the marks on her body were left behind by self-abuse. In fact, she wasn¡¯t completely lying when she had said that she was abusing herself! It was just that she would use another form of self-abuse! Every time Xiang Haoyu hung up on her, she would torture herself by cooking, cleaning, and carefully wiping every inch of the floor. She would lock herself in the study and work day and night, drawing design drafts, and studying pigments and putty powder. She was a famous muralist! But almost no one knew! At the mountain villa. There was a knock on Mo Hanchen¡¯s study door. Mo Yu entered. ¡°Master!¡± At this moment, the man in front of the office desk pinched the bridge of his nose and looked at him. ¡°Speak!¡± ¡°You¡¯re right,¡± Mo Yu said. ¡°Mrs. Xiang¡­ Oh, no, Miss Meng has moved into her own apartment!¡± Mo Hanchen raised his eyebrows and nodded. He looked around his study, from the projection background to the huge bookcase behind him. Just as Mo Yu was about to ask him what he was looking for, Mo Hanchen spoke up. ¡°I think this study is a little too dark. Let¡¯s renovate it and make it brighter!¡± Mo Yu exhaled. Really outrageous! What could he do if he was dependent on someone else and had to live according to the other party¡¯s whims and fancies? Fine! He still had to play along! ¡°Then where do you want to move to for the time being?¡± He looked at Mo Hanchen. ¡°Is it the villa in the east of the city or the apartment in Royal View Court? ¡°Oh, right. Miss Meng¡¯s upstairs and downstairs neighbors and those living on the same floor all seem to be selling their houses!¡± Mo Hanchen pursed his lips. ¡°Oh? ¡°Such a coincidence?¡± Mo Ye had no words. Acting! I¡¯ll let you act! Mo Yu continued, ¡°If you think it¡¯s not convenient to go to Royal View Court, you can move to another villa in the south of the city. If you go there, you can move in immediately!¡± Mo Hanchen glanced at him and cleared his throat. ¡°Let¡¯s just stay at Royal View Court. We can buy her neighboring apartments. There might be a lot of room for appreciation!¡± Mo Yu nodded. ¡°You have a point!¡± And room for appreciation? You¡¯re saying that you and Miss Meng have a lot of room for your relationship to develop, right? Coincidentally, there was a homeowner staying above Meng Yue who was looking to sell his house and move overseas. The house was exquisitely decorated and had never been lived in. So that night, a certain master couldn¡¯t hold back and wanted to move! What could Mo Yu do? Move! If this master were to go crazy, no one could stop him! Chapter 5 Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio After placing Mo Hanchen¡¯s luggage in the bedroom, Mo Yu sent a link to his master¡¯s phone. ¡°People under us have taken over the property management of this community! I just gave you the link to the real-time surveillance downstairs!¡± Mo Hanchen nodded. ¡°Well done!¡± Mo Yu¡¯s mouth twitched. ¡°Master, I have a movie date with my girlfriend tonight. Can I¡­¡± Mo Hanchen waved his hand. ¡°Get lost! ¡°I¡¯m annoyed just looking at you now!¡± Mo Yu walked away with a smile. He seemed to have found a good way to take a break. The next morning, Meng Yue received a call from Xiang Haoyu. He told her to go to the hospital and said that he had already signed the divorce papers, asking her to get it. Her first instinct was to think that Xiang Haoyu was lying to her. However, she was very hopeful! The previous day had been spent on tenterhooks. When night finally came, she turned off the lights and lay on the bed. Nightmares came one after another, and she did not sleep much for the entire night. The moment she closed her eyes, she saw the man in the washroom and Xiang Haoyu¡¯s sinister face. Even if they had no feelings for each other and were preparing to get a divorce, with that marriage certificate, her actions the previous day could be considered as having an affair! The words ¡®extramarital affair¡¯ were already enough to make her feel mentally exhausted. Therefore, she had to get a divorce as soon as possible! Even if Xiang Haoyu had lied to her, she still had to go to the hospital! Moreover, from his tone on the phone, he seemed to have been kicked badly by her! Meng Yue put on slightly heavier makeup to cover the dark circles under her eyes and the hand print on her face. She then put on a mask and a hat before leaving the house. The elevator reached the floor above her. However, when the elevator door opened and she saw the person inside, Meng Yue almost couldn¡¯t breathe. It was him! That Mo guy! The man who had been active in her nightmare the night before! Mo Hanchen looked at Meng Yue calmly, as if he was looking at a stranger. ¡°Are you going down?¡± Meng Yue was stunned. She subconsciously touched the hair by her ear and felt the mask on her face. She sighed in relief. ¡°Yes! ¡°Thank you!¡± After entering the elevator, just as she was about to press the button for the B2 level, she realized that it was already lit up with a green light. When she entered, he had taken two steps back and stood at the back of the elevator. Thus, he could watch her every move. The man¡¯s eyes narrowed. You¡¯re good at acting! Indeed, women were selfish. She didn¡¯t recognize him after getting out of bed! She didn¡¯t even dare to say hello! When they had reached the B2 level of the building, she ran out of the elevator as if she was escaping from something. Mo Hanchen frowned once more. ¡°Little one!¡± The night before, he had been like a beast, but today, he was clearly very gentle and elegant. He smiled as he looked at the red Mercedes-Benz that sped past him. ¡°What are you running for? ¡°We¡¯ll still have to meet later!¡± As the man fastened his seat belt, he imagined the scene of their meeting later. He wondered what expression she would give him. He was looking forward to it! In the hospital¡¯s basement carpark. There were no parking spots, so Meng Yue waited for a long time. She had been feeling uneasy the whole way. Her intuition told her that something was not right! However, she kept comforting herself. That man must not have recognized her! Perhaps, it was purely a coincidence that he was living in Royal View Court! Besides, which successful man wasn¡¯t surrounded by women? Mistresses came and went, and she might just be an inconspicuous passer-by. Moreover, when she recalled the topic of ¡®cleanliness¡¯ between them in the washroom, this man had obviously played with too many women and didn¡¯t want to take responsibility. Furthermore, that night, he had obviously been drunk and had probably forgotten about her! Just as she was feeling flustered, Xiang Haoyu¡¯s call came again. As soon as Meng Yue picked it up, Xiang Haoyu shouted at her. ¡°Where are you? I¡¯m about to starve to death!¡± ¡°I¡¯m already here. I¡¯m waiting for a parking space. Don¡¯t call me again!¡± ¡°Meng Yue, mind your attitude! Is it that you no longer want to get a divorce?¡± Meng Yue¡¯s patience had run out. ¡°You¡¯re starving. Why don¡¯t you ask your mistresses to bring you food? Why are you rushing me?¡± ¡°Meng Yue!¡± Xiang Haoyu warned angrily. ¡°Don¡¯t irritate me!¡± ¡°Hurry up and get in here. Let¡¯s settle our scores. President Mo, why are you here?¡± Meng Yue was stunned. She thought she had heard ¡®President Mo¡¯, but she didn¡¯t hear it clearly. Just as she was wondering if she was hallucinating, Xiang Haoyu¡¯s voice came again. ¡°Don¡¯t come up yet, bring some fruits up!¡± After that, Xiang Haoyu hung up the phone. After parking the car, Meng Yue walked towards the fruit store located opposite the hospital. Indeed, she should bring something with her when visiting a patient. Moreover, she was the one who had caused his injury! She bought a pretty fruit basket and some fresh fruits before going upstairs. However, when she pushed the door open, she felt her whole body shiver when she saw the man standing against the light, leaning on the window. Her heart almost leapt from her chest! She wanted to die! Disappear on the spot! Or find a hole to crawl into! However, it was impossible! The atmosphere in the ward was cold and strange. She stole a glance at the expression on the man¡¯s face. The sun was clearly shining on him, but it still made her feel like she was in an ice cellar. Meng Yue gulped and looked at Xiang Haoyu, who was lying on the bed. He looked as if he was facing a great enemy. This made her instantly realize that there was something amiss between the two. She tried her best to appear calm. ¡°You guys have a chat first. I¡¯ll come back later!¡± She put down the fruits she had been carrying and was about to run off. ¡°Go! Come and look for me later!¡± He looked at Mo Hanchen anxiously and realized that he was looking at Meng Yue. Just as he was confused by the look in Mo Hanchen¡¯s eyes, the man spoke. ¡°Wait a moment! ¡°You¡¯re Mrs. Xiang, right?¡± Xiang Haoyu¡¯s face darkened. Meng Yue stopped in her tracks. Mo Hanchen smiled as he walked towards the coffee table. He looked at the fruits on the table, glanced at Meng Yue, who was standing by the door, and finally looked at Xiang Haoyu¡¯s confused face. ¡°This apple looks a little tempting!¡± Xiang Haoyu¡¯s confusion deepened. ¡°President Mo, you¡­¡± Meng Yue swallowed nervously. Mo Hanchen pursed his lips coldly and sat down on the sofa. ¡°I¡¯m here to visit President Xiang, disregarding our past grudges. Is this how you treat your guests?¡± As he spoke, he crossed his long legs and looked at the fruits on the coffee table with an inscrutable expression. ¡°You¡¯re injured and lying in bed, so I can¡¯t ask you to do anything, but¡­¡± He looked at Xiang Haoyu. ¡°Aren¡¯t you going to ask your wife to peel a fruit for me?¡± After that, he raised his eyebrows and said pointedly, ¡°Or is this how the Xiang Group treats its guests?¡± Xiang Haoyu¡¯s eyes narrowed. He had been in the business industry for a long time, so how could he not hear the veiled threat in his words? However, when he heard the words ¡®disregarding our past grudges¡¯, he instantly heaved a sigh of relief. He had drugged Mo Hanchen that night and the woman he had sent over had been chased back by his assistant. Not long after, the entire floor had been sealed and he had been chased out of the club! After that, he used all his means and connections, but still could not find out what had happened at the club that night. He wasn¡¯t the only one. All the media had also received the news that Supreme Club had closed for reorganization. After that, for more than a day, Mo Hanchen had not looked for him to settle their debts, so he thought that things had blown over! He didn¡¯t expect that it was not that it had blown over, but just that it was late to arrive. The moment he saw Mo Hanchen enter the room, he felt that the road ahead appeared uncertain and bleak. Initially, he had wanted to have a hold over Mo Hanchen by using Mo Hanchen¡¯s dalliance with a woman to gain some benefits from the collaboration with the Moyun Group. He did not expect that he would end up losing more than he had bargained for instead. In the end, not only did he not gain any benefits, but he also suffered in Meng Yue¡¯s hands and had been sent to the hospital. He then looked at Mo Hanchen¡¯s gaze, which was directed at Meng Yue, and he felt extremely uncomfortable. He had only just realized the night before that Meng Yue was a vixen. She had a face that could charm men, especially her clear, almond-shaped eyes, which made it difficult to look away! He immediately put away his thoughts and fawningly apologized, ¡°President Mo, please don¡¯t misunderstand. It¡¯s my fault for not being a good host!¡± As he spoke, he looked at Meng Yue standing by the door and smilingly ordered her, ¡°Meng Yue, come over and peel an apple for President Mo!¡± Chapter 6 Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio Xiang Haoyu wanted to get out of bed, but when he moved his body, he realized that he was in great pain, so he could only give up. ¡°President Mo, this is my wife, Meng Yue! ¡°Meng Yue, this is the CEO of the Moyun Group, Mo Hanchen!¡± Meng Yue¡¯s feet seemed to have been nailed to the floor, unable to move. Her hands were clenched tightly. However, she knew that she had to do something. She turned around with difficulty and walked towards the coffee table with a smile on her face. ¡°President Mo, hello!¡± She lowered her head and sat opposite the man. She suppressed the trembling in her hands as she picked up an apple from the bag and began to peel it. Under the man¡¯s gaze, the originally skilled peeling action became awkward and nervous. So, his name was Mo Hanchen! The man who had taken her first time! Mo Hanchen looked at her and his lips curled up as his fingers tapped the armrest of the sofa. ¡°Miss Meng, do I look that ugly?¡± Meng Yue was stunned. Mo Hanchen¡¯s finger continued to tap on the sofa. ¡°Then why don¡¯t you dare to look at me?¡± Meng Yue subconsciously swallowed and lifted her head with a smile. ¡°President Mo, you¡¯ve misunderstood! ¡°I¡¯m not afraid to look at you! I¡¯m peeling an apple!¡± Mo Hanchen nodded his head thoughtfully. ¡°Oh, I see! ¡°The weather is so hot now. Miss Meng, don¡¯t you feel uncomfortable wearing a mask?¡± Meng Yue tightened her grip on the fruit knife. ¡°Thank you for your concern, President Mo. I¡¯ve caught a cold, so I had no choice but to wear a mask!¡± Mo Hanchen finally chuckled. ¡°I see! It seems like I¡¯ve really misunderstood Miss Meng!¡± Xiang Haoyu looked at the way Mo Hanchen looked at Meng Yue and held back his fury. A man¡¯s intuition about being cuckolded had always been accurate! Moreover, they were ¡®making eyes¡¯ at each other in front of him. Were they taking him for dead? Even though he did not like Meng Yue, the way Mo Hanchen was looking at her made him very unhappy. It was as if Mo Hanchen had taken over his territory! And Meng Yue was the territory that he had taken over. The corners of his mouth twitched in anger. ¡°President Mo, do you know Yueyue?¡± Yueyue? Meng Yue almost vomited in disgust! Mo Hanchen¡¯s eyes darkened. Yueyue? He was addressing her so affectionately! However, there were always people who were not afraid of death and wanted to provoke him! Meng Yue¡¯s eyes narrowed as she subconsciously looked at Mo Hanchen. When her eyes met Mo Hanchen¡¯s dark brows, the hand that was peeling the apple quivered. Mo Hanchen felt her gaze on him and looked at Meng Yue gloomily. ¡°Have you seen me before, Miss Meng?¡± She must be extremely afraid! Otherwise, her hands would not be shaking like that! The knuckles of the hand that was holding the fruit knife had turned white, and she was so nervous that her heart was in her throat! Looking at her, he finally couldn¡¯t bear it and said, ¡°I don¡¯t know her. This is the first time we¡¯re meeting!¡± Finally, Meng Yue let out a sigh of relief, and her heart settled back down. Xiang Haoyu retracted his gaze and heaved a sigh of relief. ¡°Yueyue is timid and hasn¡¯t seen much of the world. She might have been a little impolite in front of President Mo!¡± In the end, he even added something that seemed inconsistent with what he¡¯d said, ¡°But our relationship is pretty good!¡± ¡°Ah¡­¡± Meng Yue cried out in pain. She had been so startled that she had cut her hand! Mo Hanchen furrowed his brows and his expression darkened as he looked at Meng Yue¡¯s index finger, which had begun to bleed. ¡°Miss Meng, are you alright?¡± As he spoke, he pulled her blood-covered hand in front of him. Meng Yue instinctively broke free. ¡°I¡¯m fine!¡± Her action of pulling free was very exaggerated, and anyone with eyes could see her anger and disrespect. Xiang Haoyu¡¯s eyes darted back and forth between Meng Yue and Mo Hanchen. As if she had noticed Xiang Haoyu¡¯s gaze, Meng Yue was so flustered that she did not dare to look at anyone. She walked toward the door with a pale face. ¡°I¡¯m going to buy a band-aid!¡± Meng Yue resolutely left after saying this. Mo Hanchen¡¯s lips curled into a cold smile. ¡°Ha!¡± Looking at the bloodied apple and fruit knife on the coffee table, he no longer had any joy in eating apples! He looked at Xiang Haoyu and stood up. ¡°President Xiang¡¯s words seem to be very scary. You¡¯ve scared your wife!¡± Xiang Haoyu stared at Mo Hanchen¡¯s face. There was something up with these two! Suddenly, he thought of something! The night he had planned to drug Mo Hanchen was the same night he had been followed by Meng Yue. So¡­ He looked at Mo Hanchen. ¡°President Mo, have you seen my wife before?¡± ¡°We just met!¡± Mo Hanchen replied. ¡°However, your wife might have seen me before, and she might have a very strong opinion of me!¡± ¡°What do you mean?¡± Xiang Haoyu asked. Mo Hanchen¡¯s face turned black when he saw the back of his hand that Meng Yue had hit when she had broken free from his grip. ¡°I just wanted to check on her injury out of good intentions, and she hit me like this!¡± Mo Hanchen sighed and looked at the door. ¡°Let¡¯s call it a day. I wanted to let it go, but eating an apple has made me angry. ¡°Finally, I hope Mr. Xiang can give me an explanation for the drug! Also, if I remember correctly, the collaboration between us and the Xiang Group hasn¡¯t started yet, right?¡± With that, Mo Hanchen left, leaving Xiang Haoyu with a murderous look on his face. ¡°D***!¡± He cursed as he angrily smashed the bed. Following that, he gave himself a tight slap. ¡°Really f***ing unlucky!¡± He didn¡¯t get any benefits and was even covered in s***. He did not believe a single word that Mo Hanchen had just said about never meeting Meng Yue before, but he did not have any evidence. It looked like he would have to interrogate that immoral woman later! Once he was out of the ward, Mo Hanchen started to look for Meng Yue. At that moment, his bodyguard and driver, Wang Ming, walked over and gestured with his eyes at the safety exit. ¡°Miss Meng is in the stairwell!¡± He nodded. ¡°Alright!¡± The man subconsciously took a step back. ¡°Master?¡± The man stood there for a while before taking a deep breath. ¡°Let¡¯s go back!¡± He couldn¡¯t be too hasty. He believed that after his explicit hints today, both Xiang Haoyu and Meng Yue would be mentally prepared! Wang Ming touched the back of his head. As a straight, single man, he indicated that he didn¡¯t understand! The clueless Wang Ming directly asked, ¡°Master, you weren¡¯t like this before. You were much more straightforward and decisive than you are now!¡± Mo Hanchen¡¯s lips curled up. ¡°The situation is a little different!¡± He sighed helplessly. ¡°She¡¯s not the kind of woman who will be with me after I¡¯ve taken and slept with her!¡± The man¡¯s eyes narrowed dangerously at the thought of the episode in the washroom. He wanted to be direct and decisive, but he wanted her to be able to accept it! He was afraid that if he were to force himself on her, she would stab him! Moreover, the fact that she had an affair during her marriage was already enough to make her suffer! So, he couldn¡¯t rush it. He had to give her time to adapt. Wang Ming rubbed his nose and asked, ¡°Are there any women who can¡¯t be won over after sleeping together? I think brother Mo Yu¡¯s girlfriend is won over after sleeping with him! ¡°Every time he works overtime, his girlfriend gets angry. Every time she gets angry, she wants to break up with brother Mo Yu. But each time, the two of them will make up the next day!¡± Mo Hanchen raised an eyebrow. ¡°His secret is to sleep together?¡± Chapter 7 Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio Wang Ming nodded his head very seriously. ¡°Mm! ¡°Brother Mo Yu told me this himself! He even shamelessly gave me bad ideas, saying that there¡¯s no women who can¡¯t be won over by sleeping with them! ¡°If the first time doesn¡¯t work, then do it twice. If the second time doesn¡¯t work, then do it three times. If the third time doesn¡¯t work, then do it for a night. There will be a time when it will work!¡± Mo Hanchen¡¯s mouth twitched. ¡°Really? ¡°He is indeed an animal! ¡°Only an animal would be like this and not talk about feelings!¡± He had only done it once, and Meng Yue had passed out from the pain. He didn¡¯t dare to continue after that. As for a night¡­ He didn¡¯t even dare to think about it! Wang Ming scratched the back of his head in distress. ¡°Brother Mo Yu also has a classic quote.¡± ¡°What?¡± ¡°Feelings and love are all made out!¡± ¡°Next time, tell him to be a human!¡± Mo Hanchen said. ¡°He¡¯s a decent human being, but is always doing things like animals!¡± They arrived at the basement parking lot, and Wang Ming respectfully opened the car door for Mo Hanchen. ¡°I just feel that there might be a lot of variables by going in this roundabout way!¡± ¡°Also, I just saw from outside the door that Xiang Haoyu seems to have some feelings for Miss Meng! At least, he was jealous when you looked at Miss Meng! ¡°If he doesn¡¯t agree to the divorce¡­¡± It was silent in the car. The man in the back seat began to close his eyes to rest. After a long time, his eyes were dark and deep. ¡°He must get a divorce!¡± He, Mo Hanchen, had the final say in the divorce! Meng Yue was in a mess! The place that Mo Hanchen had touched was burning. Did that man recognize her? Were his actions towards her intentional or unintentional? Just as she was about to leave like an ostrich burying its head in the sand, Xiang Haoyu¡¯s call came. In the past, if Xiang Haoyu had taken the initiative to call her, even if the content was just the word ¡®divorce¡¯, she would still feel gratified for an entire day. But now, she only felt pressure and frustration. ¡°What¡¯s the matter?¡± she asked in an unfriendly tone. Xiang Haoyu was even more unfriendly. ¡°Where are you? Get up here!¡± ¡°I have something to do, so I¡¯ll go back first!¡± Her mind was filled with thoughts of her cheating on her husband after she had incidentally met Mo Hanchen! Xiang Haoyu always knew how to hit the nail on the head. ¡°Do you still want the divorce agreement?¡± Meng Yue helplessly gave up. ¡°Alright!¡± She stood at the door of the ward for a long time and took a few deep breaths before pushing the door open and entering. Xiang Haoyu squinted at Meng Yue. He once again carefully sized up the woman by the door. He didn¡¯t seem to hate her as much as before! Meng Yue was very beautiful, with a classic charm. Looking at her, one would subconsciously calm down. Meeting the man¡¯s eyes, Meng Yue cut to the chase. ¡°Where is it?¡± Xiang Haoyu¡¯s face darkened. ¡°Meng Yue, have you seen Mo Hanchen before?¡± Meng Yue panicked and went straight to the point. ¡°If you haven¡¯t signed the divorce papers, I¡¯ll come again next time!¡± As she spoke, she was about to leave! Xiang Haoyu saw that she was avoiding him and was so angry that he propped himself up and wanted to get off the bed. ¡°Meng Yue, stop right there! ¡°The day you followed me to the Supreme Club, did you see Mo Hanchen there?¡± Meng Yue swallowed nervously. She wasn¡¯t good at lying, and she couldn¡¯t lie with ease! Furthermore, even a fool would be able to tell that there was something going on between her and Mo Hanchen! After that, he saw her covered in bruises. She wasn¡¯t sure if she had managed to fool him about that matter! She was so confused that she was about to lose it! Xiang Haoyu was even more livid when he saw that she did not speak. ¡°Meng Yue, I¡¯m asking you a question!¡± Meng Yue clenched her fists. ¡°I¡¯ve seen him!¡± Xiang Haoyu instantly became nervous, and his eyes narrowed. ¡°When!¡± Meng Yue tried to stay clear-headed and organized. ¡°The day before yesterday, I saw him when you were toasting to him with your Qing¡¯er!¡± Xiang Haoyu stared at her face, as if to confirm the truth of her words. ¡°Meng Yue, you¡¯d better not lie to me! ¡°You specially followed me to the Supreme Club that day?¡± Meng Yue sneered. ¡°Don¡¯t think too highly of yourself! ¡°I¡¯m went to the Supreme Club to look for some fun!¡± She boldly confessed to her masterstroke that night. ¡°I called for four men, and chatted and drank with them.¡± Xiang Haoyu pointed at her nose and scolded, ¡°Meng Yue, you b****! ¡°I knew that you wouldn¡¯t be law-abiding!¡± He was so enraged that his face turned red. Meng Yue laughed sarcastically. ¡°No matter how cheap I am, I can¡¯t be as cheap as you! ¡°I¡¯ll ask you one last time. Have you signed the divorce papers?¡± Xiang Haoyu gritted his teeth. ¡°No! ¡°You¡¯ve injured me to this extent, and you still want to get a divorce? You¡¯re simply dreaming!¡± Meng Yue laughed sarcastically. ¡°I knew a dog like you wouldn¡¯t keep your word! ¡°No! Calling you a dog is an insult to dogs! ¡°Xiang Haoyu, since we can¡¯t come to an agreement, let¡¯s go through legal procedures!¡± With that, she walked towards the door. Seeing her determination, Xiang Haoyu¡¯s face turned dark and he bellowed at her, ¡°Meng Yue, you¡¯d better not let me find out that you¡¯re having an affair with another man! ¡°Otherwise, you and the Meng family will be finished!¡± At this moment, Meng Yue, who had already walked out the door, shuddered. ¡°As you wish!¡± Meng Yue glared at Xiang Haoyu. ¡°Worst comes to worst, we¡¯ll just fight to the death!¡± After she finished speaking, she slammed the door and left! It was just that her expression was much worse than her aura. What to do? Should she have a showdown with Mo Hanchen? Should she ask him to cover up for her? However, what if Mo Hanchen did not remember her at all? Meng Yue wished she could slap herself a few more times. Why did she have to go to the Supreme Club to have fun¡­ After Meng Yue left, Xiang Haoyu made a call. ¡°Help me check if Madam went to the Supreme Club two days ago and what she did there. Who did she meet? When did she leave? Investigate it thoroughly!¡± After he hung up, Xiang Haoyu threw his phone with a glum expression. ¡°Meng Yue, you¡¯d better not let me find out that you¡¯re up to no good!¡± Three minutes later, his phone rang. ¡°Speak!¡± As he listened to the report from the other person, Xiang Haoyu¡¯s expression gradually eased. ¡°You mean, she didn¡¯t follow me?¡± ¡°Yes, Madam didn¡¯t say anything to the four young men before she ran away in fear. She accidentally found your room on the way to the washroom and saw you!¡± Xiang Haoyu asked, ¡°What happened after that? When did she leave?¡± ¡°I couldn¡¯t find anything. The club was sealed after that!¡± ¡°Who¡¯s the owner of the Supreme Club?¡± ¡°The legal person is Qiu Shan!¡± ¡°I know!¡± After hanging up the phone, Xiang Haoyu¡¯s mind was still in a state of turmoil. He knew that Qiu Shan was definitely not the real boss of Supreme Club. However, this phone call had at least proven that Meng Yue had been speaking the truth! She invited men and chatted with them, but she didn¡¯t dare to do anything because she was too timid! She didn¡¯t even dare to chat with strange men, what more could he expect her to do? When he received the news, Xiang Haoyu smiled and relaxed a little. He called Meng Yue again. Chapter 8 Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio Meng Yue was on her way back to Royal View Court. ¡°What¡¯s the matter now?¡± Xiang Haoyu cleared his throat. ¡°In the future, if you miss me, just give me a call. Don¡¯t torture yourself! ¡°Your fair and tender body is full of marks; it¡¯s so ugly!¡± He hung up without giving Meng Yue a chance to mention divorce. Meng Yue was flabbergasted by the call! So? What did Xiang Haoyu mean? She wanted to reconcile with him? ¡°It¡¯s no longer possible!¡± She didn¡¯t want him anymore even if she was unclean! She was so hurt; afraid of those days where she had to wait endlessly! Or did he believe that the marks on her body were caused by her self-abuse? Moyun Group. Mo Hanchen called Mo Yu into his office. ¡°The Xiang Group is currently working on three cases, but we¡¯ll stop them for the time being. I¡¯ll personally follow up on the deal that¡¯s about to be confirmed!¡± Mo Yu immediately nodded. ¡°Alright!¡± It looked like Xiang Haoyu¡¯s future was bleak! At the door, Mo Yu couldn¡¯t hold back his curiosity and asked, ¡°Master, what are you playing at this time?¡± Was he stopping the project? It¡¯s an endless stream of cash! Mo Hanchen was signing some documents and replied without looking up, ¡°I want Xiang Haoyu to personally send her to my bed!¡± Mo Yu¡¯s Adam¡¯s apple moved, and the word ¡®animal¡¯ was suppressed! ¡°As long as you¡¯re happy! ¡°As long as you don¡¯t regret it!¡± Mo Hanchen raised his head and looked at him. ¡°Get lost! ¡°I heard that you coaxed women by sleeping with them?¡± Mo Yu¡¯s eyebrows twitched. ¡°Master, can you change the phrasing?¡± Mo Hanchen was speechless. Mo Yu said, ¡°A husband and wife will soon reconcile after a conflict!¡± ¡°Scram!¡± Mo Hanchen said. Now that bed was mentioned¡­ He found it unbearable! There was no way to have a conflict, nor have a reconciliation! At 10 o ¡®clock that morning, Xiang Haoyu received a call from his assistant, Guo Rui, saying that all the collaborations between the Moyun Group and the Xiang Group had been canceled, and a project that was about to be confirmed had also been put on hold. Xiang Haoyu was so irate that he hurled his phone! ¡°B******!¡± He knew that Mo Hanchen would not let things go so easily! What was he trying to do? To give him an explanation for the drugging? Good! Wasn¡¯t it just an apology? He¡¯d just do it! Looking at the phone that had been tossed far away, he moved his body and felt a piercing pain! ¡°You heartless woman, just wait and see how I¡¯ll deal with you when I¡¯m better!¡± Unable to get out of bed, he could only press the hospital¡¯s call bell for help and wait for the nurse to help him pick up his phone. The nurse handed the phone back to him and looked at him with a blushing face. Xiang Haoyu¡¯s body tensed up when he saw that look. Then, he warned himself not to get too excited, or he would be the one suffering in the end! Eventually, he managed to calm himself down. He immediately located Mo Hanchen¡¯s number and gave him a call. Just as he was preparing a bunch of apologies, the call was cut off! He tried to dial three more times! However, he was cut off each time! When he saw that the call was instantly disconnected, Xiang Haoyu was so incensed that he threw his phone again. Because of the force, the phone¡¯s screen was broken. Moyun Group. Mo Ye looked at his boss¡¯s action of hanging up the phone and couldn¡¯t help but sigh in disgust. ¡°Master, how long has it been since you¡¯ve been so childish?¡± Mo Hanchen put his phone aside. ¡°Since I was three years old!¡± Mo Yu¡¯s mouth twitched. Master, didn¡¯t understand his words! I didn¡¯t ask you to answer so seriously! Mo Hanchen said, ¡°Take care of the surveillance footage from ¡®West Coast Water City¡¯, just in case Xiang Haoyu finds out about it! ¡°Even though Xiang Haoyu is a s***bag, he¡¯s quite smart!¡± If Xiang Haoyu checked the surveillance footage to see if Meng Yue had returned home that night, the whole matter might be exposed. She wasn¡¯t ready yet, and he didn¡¯t want anything to go wrong! ¡°Yes!¡± Mo Yu replied. ¡°Master, are you so sure that Xiang Haoyu is not in love?¡± Mo Hanchen thought of Xiang Haoyu¡¯s medical report and scoffed. ¡°He probably won¡¯t fall in love for the next three months!¡± Mo Yu covered his mouth and laughed. ¡°That¡¯s true! ¡°By the way, this Miss Meng is really ruthless! ¡°She actually dared to kick that vulnerable body part!¡± Mo Hanchen was smiling. ¡°Good kick! ¡°He deserved it!¡± Mo Yu narrowed his eyes. ¡°Master, why do you think Miss Meng kicked Xiang Haoyu?¡± Mo Hanchen glanced at Mo Yu. ¡°If you have something to say, then spit it out!¡± Mo Yu cleared his throat and looked Mo Hanchen up and down. ¡°According to the amount of drugs you consumed that night, you must have been very harsh on Miss Meng. There must have been some traces left behind. Do you think Xiang Haoyu noticed that you and Miss Meng¡­?¡± Mo Hanchen narrowed his eyes. ¡°I don¡¯t think so!¡± In fact, he had already thought about this when he found out that Meng Yue had left West Coast Water City. Part of the reason he went to see Xiang Haoyu today was to confirm this matter, and another was to see her and hint at something between the two. Based on Xiang Haoyu¡¯s performance today, he probably hadn¡¯t discovered that she had lost her virginity. ¡°Also, according to the information uncovered earlier, Meng Yue was marrying Xiang Haoyu in place of her sister, Meng Wan, and the two of them were at odds with each other. However, from what I¡¯ve seen today, Xiang Haoyu is not completely without feelings for Meng Yue. At least, he was jealous of Meng Yue and me today!¡± Mo Yu was full of questions. ¡°Is it possible that Xiang Haoyu doesn¡¯t want a divorce?¡± Mo Hanchen¡¯s expression became somber. ¡°He has no say in the divorce! ¡°He must divorce!¡± Otherwise, why would he be so bored as to get involved in this mess? Mo Yu kept the documents and was about to leave. When he reached the door, he reminded, ¡°Master, as someone who has experience with this, I¡¯d like to remind you that you can¡¯t force a woman. If you force a woman into a corner, there are only two outcomes ¡ª one, collapse; two, growing resentment! ¡°I can guarantee that you won¡¯t be able to handle either of these!¡± Mo Ye raised his eyebrows at him mischievously. ¡°Especially when you can¡¯t have it! ¡°Master, you understand ¡­¡± Mo Hanchen¡¯s eyes flickered. ¡°I don¡¯t understand!¡± Then, he awkwardly picked up a document and read it. ¡°Get lost! ¡°Do I need you to teach me how to be in a courtship?¡± Of course, he understood what Mo Yu meant. In the end, either way, it would not be easy to coax! Mo Yu smiled evilly. ¡°Once a man has had sex, he can¡¯t quit. Only a man can understand another man¡¯s pain, so don¡¯t hold it in!¡± Mo Hanchen¡¯s eyes narrowed dangerously. Mo Yu said, ¡°Master, you should know what I mean. You¡¯d better get into a relationship quickly. That way, you don¡¯t have to work overtime every day, and we don¡¯t have to accompany you every day!¡± ¡°Get lost!¡± Mo Hanchen said. This time, Mo Yu scampered away hastily with the documents in his arms! He was afraid that if he waited any longer, he would have more information in his arms! Mo Hanchen stood up and walked to the large floor-length windows overlooking Jongvale. Jongvale is so small, but I¡¯ve never met you. If only you weren¡¯t married. That way, I can pursue you boldly, hug you protectively, and even directly request for the Meng family to let me collaborate with you on a project. The useless me still has to plan for a long time just to see you. ¡°Meng Yue¡­¡± Chapter 9 Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio On the other side, Xiang Haoyu had almost been driven crazy by the shareholders over the past two days! Plus the pressure that the Xiang family was putting him under, he had a huge headache currently! He had been calling Mo Hanchen for the past few days! However, the call was either disconnected or not picked up. In the end, it went straight to the message saying that the other party was in a call, and to please try again later. It was obvious that he had been blacklisted by Mo Hanchen. While he was feeling frustrated, his assistant called him again and again, saying that the Board of Directors and clients were making trouble and demanding an explanation. Xiang Haoyu could only helplessly bear with the pain and leave the hospital. He personally went to apologize. However, when he reached the ground floor of the Moyun Group, he could not go up at all! Mo Hanchen¡¯s assistant, Mo Yu, was the only one who came. Mo Yu brought Xiang Haoyu to the reception room on the first floor and said directly, ¡°President Xiang, please go back! ¡°Our boss is in an extremely bad mood, so he probably won¡¯t be meeting anyone related to you during this period of time. ¡°We will compensate the Xiang Group for the breach of contract. I¡¯m also officially informing you that you won¡¯t have a chance for this new project!¡± Hearing Mo Yu¡¯s firm answer, Xiang Haoyu instantly became frantic. ¡°Why? We had already finalized that project two days ago!¡± Mo Yu said, ¡°You said it yourself that that was two days ago. Our boss is in a bad mood now!¡± Xiang Haoyu cursed. To h*** with his bad mood right now! He was also in a bad mood right now! He wanted to curse, but he knew that if he did, he wouldn¡¯t even have the chance to apologize! He suppressed his rage and tried to salvage the situation. ¡°Our collaboration is obviously going smoothly. If you have any other additional requests, we will definitely cooperate with you to the best of our abilities.¡± Mo Yu said, ¡°This is not a matter of profit. Our boss has no shortage of money!¡± As he said that, he started to lie. ¡°To tell you the truth, he¡¯s still angry about you drugging him previously. Additionally, he¡¯s unhappy because of you and your wife¡¯s insult to him. He¡¯s holding an emergency meeting to re-plan the development of a new project.¡± Xiang Haoyu could not calm down after hearing this. After thinking about it, he finally thought of the key point! Meng Yue! He wasn¡¯t even this angry when he drugged him. Now, because of Meng Yue¡¯s disrespectful words and actions, he was upset? Perhaps Mo Hanchen was not waiting for his apology, but for Meng Yue to apologize to him! Because he wanted to eat the apple, but in the end, he didn¡¯t get to eat the apple! Moreover, Meng Yue had injured his hand and his dignity. ¡°Special Assistant Mo, I understand now. Thank you for your advice! ¡°I think President Mo is angry because my wife¡¯s actions towards him have made him unhappy. I¡¯ll get my wife to come over and apologize to President Mo right now!¡± Mo Yu rubbed his nose, his eyes sparkling. ¡°Alright, then we can only try!¡± He added, ¡°It¡¯s best if you can do it in one try. Otherwise, if the boss is in a bad mood, it will make things difficult for us!¡± Because he was bearing with the pain between his legs, Xiang Haoyu¡¯s face had turned pale. He forced himself to call Meng Yue. On the other side, Meng Yue had been working on a design draft at home because she had accepted a small project. Looking at the caller ID, she picked the call up impatiently. ¡°What¡¯s the matter now?¡± Xiang Haoyu gritted his teeth. ¡°Meng Yue, come to the Moyun Group!¡± Meng Yue¡¯s face froze. Moyun Group? Mo Hanchen¡¯s company? ¡°Tell me what it is about first,¡± Meng Yue said quietly. Xiang Haoyu glanced at Mo Yu and awkwardly moved to a less crowded part of the hall. ¡°Because you gave President Mo a hard time the past two days, he¡¯s in a bad mood right now and has stopped all collaborations with the Xiang Group. The new project is also going to be killed off!¡± Meng Yue replied coldly, ¡°What does the Xiang Group have to do with me?¡± Xiang Haoyu listened to her words and blew up, ¡°Meng Yue, come over and apologize to President Mo!¡± Meng Yue scoffed and hung up. ¡°S***bag!¡± In less than five seconds, Xiang Haoyu¡¯s call came again. ¡°Meng Yue, you¡¯re getting more and more f***ing capable. How dare you hang up on me!¡± Meng Yue held her ground. ¡°Xiang Haoyu, if you utter another vulgarity, it won¡¯t just be hanging up the phone!¡± ¡°Come over and apologize to President Mo first. If the Xiang Group falls, the Meng Group will not have a good time either. You don¡¯t care, but can¡¯t you think about your parents?¡± Meng Yue paused and exhaled. ¡°I can apologize, but the condition is that I want a divorce!¡± Xiang Haoyu said, ¡°Meng Yue, have you gone f***ing crazy thinking about a divorce?¡± Meng Yue¡¯s eyes turned cold as she listened to his vulgarities. She hung up the phone. She tossed it away and flopped onto the bed. ¡°I am going crazy thinking about a divorce! ¡°No, I¡¯m going crazy!¡± After that, Xiang Haoyu called her more than ten times, but she did not answer a single call. Xiang Haoyu was so worked up that he kicked the wall a few times in succession. The wall was unaffected, but he grimaced in pain and broke out in a cold sweat. He suppressed his anger and sent Meng Yue a message. ¡°Fine!¡± ¡°I agree to the divorce!¡± At the moment, he could only use a delaying tactic and agree first. Meng Yue replied to his message. ¡°I¡¯ll be there in half an hour!¡± Meng Yue arrived 50 minutes later. Xiang Haoyu was so infuriated that he wanted to give her two tight slaps when he saw her arriving late. However, he could only patiently instruct, ¡°Hurry and apologize to President Mo. You must obtain his forgiveness and restore the collaboration with the Xiang Group!¡± Meng Yue shook off his touch in disgust. ¡°What¡¯s the rush?¡± As she spoke, she took out the ¡®divorce agreement¡¯ from the front passenger seat that she had printed in advance and handed it to Xiang Haoyu. ¡°Sign this first!¡± Xiang Haoyu was furious. ¡°Meng Yue, look at the situation now. Why are you still so insistent on getting a divorce?¡± Mo Yu¡¯s eyes lit up when he saw the words ¡®divorce agreement¡¯. It looked like their master had hope! Meng Yue looked at him icily and pressed him. ¡°Are you going to sign it or not?¡± Xiang Haoyu glared at her, almost biting her head off! In the end, he clenched his fists so hard that they cracked. ¡°I¡¯ll sign it! He pulled the agreement over and glanced at it. When he saw Meng Yue¡¯s signature, he gave her another look. Meng Yue didn¡¯t even spare him a look. Xiang Haoyu¡¯s hand that was holding the pen stiffened. ¡°Are you sure you want nothing?¡± Meng Yue shook his head. ¡°No need. You can keep your money to support your mistresses! ¡°To me, freedom is more important than anything!¡± Xiang Haoyu¡¯s eyes flashed. ¡°Meng Yue, don¡¯t you regret this!¡± As he said that, he signed off with a flourish. Meng Yue heaved a sigh of relief when he was done. When she stepped forward to grab the agreement, Xiang Haoyu put it away and said, ¡°Let the Moyun Group resume all transactions with the Xiang Group, including taking over the carbon fiber project that is still being confirmed. Otherwise, the agreement will be void!¡± Meng Yue¡¯s eyes were firm. ¡°Deal!¡± As she spoke, she snatched the agreement and kept it away. ¡°Xiang Haoyu, from now on, let¡¯s go our separate ways; you go your way, and I¡¯ll go mine! ¡°Never to meet again!¡± She emphasized the last few words, firmly and resolutely. After that, she followed Mo Yu upstairs without looking back. She looked calm on the surface, but only she knew the panic in her heart! Chapter 10 Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio From the moment she stepped into the elevator, she had been thinking about how to apologize. Additionally, if Mo Hanchen had the intention to make things difficult for her, what should she do? She touched her bag. No matter what, she was not going to give up the divorce papers that were already in her hands! In front of the President¡¯s office. Meng Yue was so nervous that her palms began to sweat. Mo Yu knocked on the office door, ¡°President Mo, Miss Meng is here!¡± At this moment, a man¡¯s clear voice came from within. ¡°Come in!¡± ¡°Miss Meng, please enter. Our President is waiting for you!¡± Without giving Meng Yue a chance to hesitate, he opened the door and pushed her in. ¡°Hey, you¡­¡± ¡®Bang!¡¯ The door slammed behind her. Meng Yue nervously lifted her head and saw the man sitting at the back of the office. His handsome side profile was even more profound and deep than when she had seen him previously in the hospital. This time, she wasn¡¯t wearing a mask, making her feel like she had nowhere to hide. ¡°Hello, President Mo. I am Xiang Haoyu¡¯s wife, Meng Yue. I am here today for¡­¡± Mo Hanchen finally looked up from the documents before him. He interrupted her with a dark expression. ¡°Are you sure you want to introduce yourself like this?¡± Meng Yue met his eyes. The word ¡®warning¡¯ was clearly written in his gaze. She instantly guessed that it was the name ¡®Xiang Haoyu¡¯ that had angered him. She continued to apologize, ¡°President Mo, I was rude the last time. I hope that you will be magnanimous and forget about the unpleasant incident. I hope that you will let the Xiang Group off.¡± At this moment, the man crossed his arms and looked at the woman who was unwilling to get close to him. ¡°I¡¯ve never considered myself magnanimous!¡± Not only was he not magnanimous, but he was also a despicable person! Otherwise, she would not have appeared in his office. At that moment, Mo Hanchen¡¯s phone rang. It was a message from Mo Yu. He picked up the phone and glanced at it. ¡°President Mo, Miss Meng and Xiang Haoyu have just signed a divorce agreement. The condition is that the Moyun Group must restore every project it has with the Xiang Group!¡± Mo Hanchen kept his phone and looked at her with a glint of praise in his eyes. Meng Yue trembled when she saw this sparkle. She immediately gave a 90-degree bow, ¡°President Mo, I¡¯m really sorry for what happened previously!¡± Looking at her anxious expression, he couldn¡¯t help but want to tease her. He got up and walked toward her. ¡°To tell you the truth, I don¡¯t intend to let you all off easily, let alone the Xiang Group!¡± It was strange for a man to be so petty. Meng Yue¡¯s eyes were filled with disdain. ¡°You¡­¡± Mo Hanchen saw the emotions in her eyes and finished her sentence, ¡°You, you know that I have feelings for you, but you are still being rude to me and trying to embarrass me.¡± Meng Liang was furious. ¡°President Mo, I¡¯m Xiang Haoyu¡¯s wife, please conduct yourself with dignity!¡± He raised his eyebrows. ¡°Conduct myself with dignity? ¡°I¡¯m sorry! ¡°I won¡¯t!¡± Meng Yue¡¯s mouth twitched. Listen to such shameless words, and he said it so openly! ¡°President Mo, what exactly do you want to do in order to resume your collaboration with the Xiang Group?¡± Mo Hanchen¡¯s 190 cm height approached her. ¡°He still wants to collaborate? ¡°Xiang Haoyu is even more outrageous. How dare he do something to my wine in such an occasion? Does he take me for dead?¡± The man¡¯s eyes flashed viciously. At this moment, the distance between them was only ten centimeters. Meng Yue was shocked by his words! It turned out that Xiang Haoyu had drugged him at the dinner that day! Did he force himself on her in the washroom because he had been drugged? So, it was all retribution? Because of Xiang Haoyu¡¯s mistake, she had to bear the consequences? Sorrow flickered in Meng Yue¡¯s eyes. She had nothing to say; she could only apologize. ¡°I¡¯m sorry!¡± When she looked up at him once more, he was already standing in front of her. Sensing his oppressive aura, Meng Yue frantically refused him. ¡°President Mo, you¡­ What are you doing?¡± However, her small arms and legs were no match for him. Mo Hanchen stretched out his long arm and took a small step closer, trapping her between his chest and the wall. ¡°If I really wanted to do something, you might not be able to stop me!¡± Meng Yue was scared out of her wits. Her eyes met his deep, dark eyes, and the scene in the washroom that night kept replaying in her mind. She felt helpless for a long while. His eyes met her almond-shaped eyes and he raised his eyebrows. ¡°So, don¡¯t struggle and don¡¯t move. We¡¯re all young people, I don¡¯t know what I¡¯ll do if the fire starts!¡± Meng Yue looked at his moving lips and bobbing Adam¡¯s apple and subconsciously swallowed. A monster! Not only was he good-looking, but he was also so good at teasing! She put her hands on the man¡¯s chest and did not know where to look. She could only apologize. ¡°I¡¯m sorry, I¡¯m sorry! ¡°Xiang Haoyu must not have done it on purpose. I apologize to you on his behalf!¡± Mo Hanchen looked at her flustered expression and easily held both of her hands above her head. ¡°You¡¯re apologizing on his behalf? ¡°Who are you to apologize on his behalf?¡± Meng Liang swallowed. ¡°I¡¯m his wife, uh¡­¡± Mo Hanchen furrowed his brows and his lips immediately landed on her red lips. Meng Liang was so frightened that she covered her mouth. She looked at the man in front of her with her big, glittering eyes! What was he trying to do? Why did she see sparks in his eyes¡­ Mo Hanchen looked at her actions with satisfaction. As she covered her mouth, he took a step forward. At this moment, the two of them were one step closer. He looked at her red lips and his Adam¡¯s apple unconsciously moved. ¡°Also, because of the strong drug he gave me that night, I lost my virginity.¡± Meng Liang cursed. S***! Do you have to be so straightforward! Mo Hanchen¡¯s eyes were fixed on her face. ¡°The drug that night caused me to bully a woman, and I don¡¯t know how to face her even now!¡± Meng Yue filled Mo Hanchen¡¯s gaze. His deep, dark eyes drank in her features, and Meng Yue¡¯s heart beat wildly. Her heart was in her throat. ¡°President Mo, you¡­¡± So, was he hinting at something? He knew it was her from the beginning? Right! She hurried out today and didn¡¯t wear a mask! He said in a low voice. ¡°It¡¯s me! ¡°I was the one who wanted you that night! ¡°But I won¡¯t say sorry!¡± Meng Yue was flustered and at a loss, forgetting to struggle¡­ She looked at his face. ¡°I, you¡­¡± She mumbled ¡®you¡¯, but for a long time, she didn¡¯t know what she wanted to express. She was falling apart! Feeling confused! Finally, Mo Hanchen¡¯s heart softened when he saw her distress! He took a step back and let go of her, then unhesitatingly walked towards the desk. ¡°You can go back!¡± He picked up the document and continued to read. ¡°This matter can¡¯t be resolved with just an apology!¡± Without his support, Meng Yue leaned against the door, her legs so weak that she could barely stand. ¡°What do you want?¡± It wasn¡¯t easy to obtain Xiang Haoyu¡¯s divorce agreement, so she couldn¡¯t give it up so easily. ¡°I don¡¯t want to let him off!¡± Mo Hanchen replied. He looked at her again. ¡°I¡¯m going to toy with him! Toy with the Xiang Group!¡± Meng Yue finally managed to steady herself and walked towards him. ¡°He drugged you and you slept with me. We¡¯re even now!¡± She had an overbearing aura. Chapter 11 Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio Mo Hanchen glanced at her. ¡°We¡¯re even?¡± ¡°No matter how you look at it, I was the one at a disadvantage that night!¡± Meng Yue said. Mo Hanchen sneered. ¡°I remember asking you some questions that night. Did I ask you to lie to me?¡± Meng Yue was speechless. She lied to him that she was not clean! So, she deserved to be raped! Mo Hanchen¡¯s eyes met her face gloomily. ¡°Also, I slept with a married woman. How can you think I have no psychological trauma?¡± Meng Yue was dumbfounded. She had clearly given him her first time, so how could he have any f****** psychological trauma? He was toying with her! ¡°You¡¯re so fragile!¡± Meng Yue spewed angrily. ¡°Are you still a man?¡± Mo Hanchen pursed his lips and exuded a satanic aura. ¡°Meng Yue, don¡¯t you know if I¡¯m a man or not?¡± he warned. Meng Yue instantly blushed. ¡°You¡­ ¡°Shameless!¡± Mo Hanchen chuckled. If I were not shameless, you wouldn¡¯t be here. Meng Yue saw that he was already looking through a document. Although it wasn¡¯t a business matter, she wasn¡¯t stupid! Mo Hanchen did not let Xiang Haoyu come up to apologize, but let her come instead. He must have an ulterior motive. Moreover, according to what he had said before, he had a good impression of her, so things were bound to take a turn for the better! Moreover, this turning point might still be on her. Meng Yue¡¯s heart skipped a beat when she looked at Mo Hanchen once again. As the rumors said, a man who was focused about his work was the most attractive! Moreover, it was a man who was originally striking, which made him appear even more manly. Looking at his side profile, Meng Yue licked her lips, her mouth dry. ¡°President Mo, now I have sincerely apologized to you. What do you want before restoring the collaboration with the Xiang Group?¡± At this moment, he raised his head and looked at her. ¡°It¡¯s not like there¡¯s no turning point in this matter, unless¡­¡± As expected! There was a turning point! If there was a turning point, there was hope! Meng Yue met his eyes with a serious expression. ¡°Unless what?¡± Mo Hanchen pursed his lips and said, ¡°Be my woman!¡± Meng Yue¡¯s face turned ashen. She felt that her character had been insulted! Looking at his face, it was obvious that he was being serious! ¡°Mo Hanchen, say it again. What are your conditions?¡± Mo Hanchen spoke slowly, ¡°Be my woman!¡± He looked at her with a serious expression. ¡°I only have this condition. There¡¯s no need to discuss anything else!¡± Meng Yue said, ¡°You pervert! I¡¯m Xiang Haoyu¡¯s woman!¡± ¡°Wrong, you¡¯re my woman!¡± Mo Hanchen replied. Meng Yue¡¯s face flushed red. ¡°You¡­¡± Meeting Meng Yue¡¯s angry gaze, he drawled, ¡°I¡¯m not short of money! ¡°If you don¡¯t agree, I don¡¯t mind dragging the Xiang Group to its grave!¡± ¡°Mo Hanchen, you s***bag!¡± Meng Yue savagely cursed. Mo Hanchen furrowed his brows. She was probably the only one in the world who dared to call him a s***bag! ¡°Do you agree or not?¡± Mo Hanchen looked at her face and said, ¡°If you agree, the Moyun Group will immediately resume its collaboration with the Xiang Group. I don¡¯t have to elaborate; I believe you are clear about the implications for the Xiang Group!¡± ¡°If you don¡¯t agree, the door is over there. Take care!¡± Meng Yue felt conflicted upon hearing this! On one hand, it was her freedom, the shackles of the past three years, and the end of her path to redemption. On the other hand, it was her filthy soul used as part of a business transaction. Furthermore, it was obvious that Mo Hanchen was much more difficult to deal with than Xiang Haoyu! No matter how much she wanted to leave Xiang Haoyu, she would not be so stupid as to jump out of the frying pan and into the fire. As if she had figured something out, Meng Yue let out a breath of air. ¡°I¡¯m sorry! I can¡¯t agree to that!¡± With that, she slammed the door and left! Mo Hanchen looked at the door and smiled. ¡°Little thing, you¡¯re still very faithful!¡± However, he might have to destroy her faith step by step. He took out his phone and made a call. ¡°Let the Xiang Group have a harder time in the coming days!¡± Mo Yu kept away his phone and looked at Meng Yue, who was walking in front of him. He smirked wickedly! This was the first time he had seen his boss being stepped upon despite exerting a lot of effort. Why did he have the urge to set off fireworks to celebrate when he saw his boss being defeated? At this moment, Xiang Haoyu, who had been waiting outside the door, was so anxious that he could not sit still. He had only been waiting for ten minutes, but he had already received more than ten calls from the company¡¯s Board of Directors! All of them wanted to tear him apart, seeing the stock price drop and that there was no way out. When he saw Meng Yue, he endured the pain and went up to her. ¡°How was it?¡± Meng Yue shook her head. ¡°I can¡¯t do anything!¡± Xiang Haoyu was furious. ¡°Meng Yue, do you even know how to apologize? If he doesn¡¯t let the Xiang Group off, we¡¯ll be finished. Now, those shareholders can¡¯t wait to tear me apart! ¡°How did you apologize? Do you know how to apologize? Worse comes to worst, you should go and kneel before him.¡± Mo Yu looked at Xiang Haoyu with disdain. How did a man like him become the president of the Xiang Group? Meng Yue watched him go berserk and shook his hand off her shoulder. She looked at Xiang Haoyu sarcastically. ¡°You want me to agree even if he wants to sleep with me?¡± In an instant, the two men froze! Mo Yu thought to himself that it was indeed their boss¡¯s style of doing things! Decisive! Direct! Shameless! Xiang Haoyu¡¯s face instantly turned livid. ¡°B******! ¡°Mo Hanchen, you f****** b******! ¡°You s***! ¡°You even want to sleep with my wife!¡± He cursed as he ran towards Moyun Group¡¯s reception area. However, before he could get any further, he was already subdued by the security guards and brought to the ground, unable to move. Meng Yue sighed and stepped forward to mediate. The security guards only sent Xiang Haoyu away after receiving Mo Yu¡¯s signal. Xiang Haoyu wanted to continue cursing, but Meng Yue gave him a warning look, so he shut his mouth. ¡°You¡¯re thinking of going to jail for a few days before the matter is resolved, right?¡± With that, Meng Yue left, flabbergasted. Xiang Haoyu turned around and glared at Mo Yu. He took a few steps forward and grabbed Meng Yue¡¯s wrist. ¡°Come! Let¡¯s go home!¡± Meng Yue viciously pushed him away. ¡°Don¡¯t touch me!¡± Xiang Haoyu rubbed his nose awkwardly as his hand was flung away. He even subconsciously looked at the building behind him. Compared to sending his wife into Mo Hanchen¡¯s arms, he would rather accept the Xiang Group¡¯s disaster this time. For men, dignity was more important than anything else! However, what he didn¡¯t know was that the Xiang Group was about to face not only this catastrophe, but also a historical challenge. Just as Meng Yue was about to get into the car, Xiang Haoyu grabbed her bag. When Meng Yue realized what he was about to do, she immediately reached out to snatch it back. ¡°B******, give it back to me!¡± However, she was not tall enough! Even though Xiang Haoyu was not as tall as Mo Hanchen, he was still slightly over 180 centimeters tall. So, even if she jumped up, she could not save the divorce agreement. Xiang Haoyu laughed coldly. He simply tore it into several pieces and threw them into the trash can. ¡°In your dreams! ¡°Go back home. Otherwise, I¡¯ll call my in-laws later!¡± Meng Yue stared at the trash can, her eyes filled with hatred. ¡°I have no home!¡± Xiang Haoyu¡¯s eyes flickered. ¡°West Coast Water City is your home, and¡­ ¡°I¡¯ll be back home every day from now on!¡± After that, Xiang Haoyu got into his car and left. Chapter 12 Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio Meng Yue was left standing there, stunned. Xiang Haoyu had said that West Coast Water City was her home and that he would return home every day. She had waited for three years for his response. It seemed that everything was advancing well. But why did she feel more panicky? If the incident with Mo Hanchen had not happened, she would have jumped for joy. However, the wrong sequence of events resulted in her being in a different state of mind! She looked towards the top floor of the Moyun Group. The sun was glaring, but it could not warm her heart. Mo Hanchen was looking at her from the window. He also saw how Xiang Haoyu had snatched the divorce agreement. He patted his head in frustration. He felt like he was being too much. When Mo Yu knocked on the door and came in, he happened to see the vexed expression on his president¡¯s face. ¡°Master!¡± Mo Hanchen gave him a sidelong glance. ¡°Are you here to laugh at me?¡± Mo Yu immediately waved his hand. ¡°I wouldn¡¯t dare! ¡°You must have your own plans!¡± This man had been able to establish the Moyun Group at the age of 20, and in just three years, he had developed the Moyun Group to be second to none in the country. He then used another three years to make the Moyun Group the international standard and benchmark in the chip industry. How could a mere assistant like him doubt this superhuman¡¯s strategies and schemes? Mo Hanchen sat back on his desk and said in a firm tone, ¡°Regardless of whether she has the divorce agreement, she won¡¯t be able to get a divorce so quickly! ¡°Xiang Haoyu is narrow-minded and stubborn. He¡¯s very opportunistic! He has too many things that can be used against Meng Yue. As long as he doesn¡¯t want to get a divorce, he¡¯ll definitely have a way to hold her back.¡± ¡°Are you talking about the Meng family?¡± Mo Yu asked. ¡°But Ms. Meng is not favored!¡± Mo Hanchen lit a cigarette and held it between his fingers. He looked at the wisps of smoke and opened his thin lips. ¡°It doesn¡¯t matter if she¡¯s favored or not. What¡¯s important is that she has the Meng family¡¯s blood flowing through her veins!¡± Mo Yu started to understand. ¡°However, from this incident, it seems like Xiang Haoyu wants to turn over a new leaf!¡± Mo Hanchen¡¯s face darkened and he took a puff of the cigarette. ¡°Him?¡± Slowly exhaling the smoke, he said leisurely, ¡°Do you think I will give him a chance to turn back?¡± It was not easy for that woman to be so persistent about the divorce. How could he disappoint her? Also, the resolute attitude she had had when she had rejected him earlier made him so angry that he wanted to give her a good spanking. After that, he would hold her in his arms and cajole her. Mo Yu touched the tip of his nose when he saw the fire in his master¡¯s eyes. Fine! Their master was going to start pranking people again! It was just that he did not know if Meng Yue or Xiang Haoyu would be the first to suffer. He was sitting guard. However, as soon as he entered the Xiang Group, his father, Xiang Shen, gave him two tight slaps. ¡°You unfilial son, look at what you¡¯ve done!¡± Xiang Haoyu covered his face and suppressed his rage. Xiang Shen saw him like this and looked at the executives behind him. ¡°You can all go back to work!¡± Everyone scattered like the wind! ¡°Work my foot. All the projects have been stopped, there¡¯s no work to be done!¡± ¡°What kind of wisdom can a boss who only knows how to have fun and underpay his employees have?¡± ¡°It¡¯s better to close down earlier. Give me some money and I¡¯ll pack up and leave immediately!¡± Xiang Shen looked at the handprint on Xiang Haoyu¡¯s face. His eyes flickered, and an anguished look flashed through them. No matter what, this was still his own son. It pained him to hit him. ¡°You, properly explain to me what happened!¡± Xiang Haoyu¡¯s office. After Xiang Shen heard what had happened, he couldn¡¯t help but slap him again. ¡°I think you¡¯ve gone mad! Are you a numbskull?¡± Xiang Shen angrily tapped his forehead, ¡°Go and ask around, in the whole of Jongvale, who has the guts to touch him! ¡°Do you have a screw loose? You even dared to plot against Mo Hanchen. I think you¡¯re tired of living!¡± Xiang Haoyu was already full of grievances, and now that his father had slapped him thrice, he was so riled that he kicked over a sofa in the office. ¡°Now that things have come to this, it¡¯s useless for you to say anything more!¡± His eyes were filled with viciousness. ¡°I don¡¯t believe that without the Moyun Group, the Xiang Group will have no way out.¡± Xiang Shen patted his chest, ¡°You¡¯re still too young!¡± ¡°Have you guys gone to apologize?¡± ¡°Yes!¡± Xiang Haoyu replied. ¡°Mo Hanchen won¡¯t see me!¡± Xiang Shen¡¯s eyes flashed. ¡°What about Meng Yue?¡± Xiang Haoyu¡¯s face turned black. ¡°She went, but that s*** Mo Hanchen is an animal, and the conditions he proposed were very inhumane!¡± ¡°What did he ask for?¡± Xiang Haoyu said, ¡°He¡¯s taken a fancy to Meng Yue!¡± Xiang Shen¡¯s eyes flickered, and his face darkened. ¡°You don¡¯t even like Meng Yue. Since his condition is Meng Yue, you can just give her to him! ¡°Right now, the Xiang Group¡¯s interests are above all else!¡± Xiang Haoyu exploded in anger. ¡°Dad, Meng Yue is my wife!¡± Xiang Shen was so livid that he ruthlessly slapped him again, ¡°You evil creature! ¡°What is more important, dignity or the Xiang clan? ¡°With the Xiang Group, how many Meng Yues can¡¯t you find?¡± At this moment, Xiang Shen¡¯s phone rang. He took out his phone and looked at it. It was a call from the bank. ¡°Look, these are the calls I received today. From banks, shareholders, clients, and engineers. Count them; there are at least ninety, if not a hundred!¡± He shoved his phone into Xiang Haoyu¡¯s hand. ¡°Just say that you can solve these problems, and I will immediately promise I won¡¯t get involved in these things!¡± ¡°If you can¡¯t, send Meng Yue to Mo Hanchen at once!¡± Bewildered, Xiang Haoyu looked at the phone that kept ringing in his hand. ¡°Give me three more days!¡± Xiang Shen sighed, ¡°Alright, if the situation doesn¡¯t improve in three days, then I¡¯ll have to make the decision for you!¡± Xiang Shen left after he was done speaking! An entire day of coming up with all sorts of remedial plans and preventive measures had left Xiang Haoyu battered and bruised! He endured the pain and dragged his tired body to the hospital before returning to West Coast Water City. It was already eleven o¡¯clock at night. He stood outside the door for a long time. This was his third time here! He placed his index finger on the fingerprint reader and began to look forward to the scene inside. Meng Yue would be seated on the couch, waiting for him to get off work in her sexy pajamas, or jump happily into his arms when he returned¡­ However, one could dream! No one would have expected that he would almost vomit from the stench after pushing open the door. He looked once again at the crawling flies and insects and closed the door while holding back his disgust. No one had cleaned up the food that had been knocked over previously, and it was summer now. It would be strange if there were no insects! His angry and irritable voice could be heard from the corridor, ¡°Meng Yue!¡± ¡°D*** you!¡± The man suppressed his disgust and called her. On the other side, Meng Yue was still in a daze when she answered the call. ¡°Meng Yue, where are you now?¡± When Meng Yue heard his voice and anger, she finally sobered up a little. ¡°I¡¯m at home.¡± Xiang Haoyu was incensed. ¡°Which house?¡± Meng Yue scoffed. ¡°Which other house do I have? It¡¯s my own house!¡± Chapter 13 Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio Xiang Haoyu couldn¡¯t help but holler, ¡°Didn¡¯t I tell you that I would be home tonight? I told you to wait for me at home! ¡°Meng Yue, don¡¯t you f****** listen?¡± Meng Yue frowned, her face darkening, and hung up the phone. ¡°You¡¯re the one who¡¯s f****** sick in the head!¡± She cursed under her breath. She turned off her phone and went back to sleep! When Xiang Haoyu called again, the other party¡¯s phone had already been turned off. He was so irate that he wanted to hurl his phone, but eventually held it in. He suppressed his anger and dialed a number. ¡°Can you find out which neighborhood Madam is living in now?¡± However, ten minutes later, Xiang Haoyu received news that Meng Yue¡¯s location could not be found. It seemed that some organization had deliberately hidden it. Xiang Haoyu subconsciously thought of Mo Hanchen. However, he was unwilling to believe in his extraordinary abilities. After he hung up, he was so infuriated that he threw his phone. Just as he was about to kick it in anger, his phone rang. ¡°Meng Yue, it¡¯d better be you!¡± However, when he picked up the phone and saw the words ¡°Qing¡¯er¡±, he was so enraged that he was going to throw the phone again. However, just as he was about to throw it, the call was unexpectedly connected. A woman¡¯s sweet voice came from the other side of the phone. ¡°Haoyu, you haven¡¯t come to see me for a few days. I miss you¡­¡± ¡°Get lost!¡± He said darkly. ¡°Haoyu, I¡¯m your Qing¡¯er. Don¡¯t you remember me? ¡°You were still sleeping at my place a week ago, and we even had sex until late at night. Have you forgotten?¡± He picked up the phone and gave a final warning. ¡°Scram! ¡°Don¡¯t call me again!¡± After hanging up the phone, Xiang Haoyu asked his assistant to find a housekeeping company to clean up the house. When he thought of the bugs crawling all over the ground, his stomach began to churn once more. Meng Yue! Just you wait! When I wanted a divorce, you were unwilling! If you want a divorce now, do you think I¡¯ll let you? After entering the elevator, Xiang Haoyu¡¯s eyes flashed. Meng Yue, I can¡¯t find you, but someone will! Then, he called Meng Zhengde, Meng Yue¡¯s father. ¡°Dad, this is Haoyu¡­¡± The next morning, Meng Yue didn¡¯t wake until late in the morning. She turned on her phone and realized that she had ten missed calls. Three were from Xiang Haoyu. Five belonged to her father, Meng Zhengde. There were also two unfamiliar numbers. Seeing her father¡¯s missed call, Meng Yue smiled bitterly. If Xiang Haoyu had not called them, they probably would not have thought of their daughter for the rest of their lives! Just as Meng Yue was pondering about whether to return the call, her father called again. ¡°Dad!¡± ¡°Where are you now?¡± Meng Zhengde directly asked. His voice was so cold that there was no warmth in it. Meng Yue put aside her hurt feelings. ¡°What¡¯s the matter?¡± ¡°Come home for dinner tonight!¡± Without waiting for Meng Yue¡¯s reply, Meng Zhengde hung up the phone. Meng Yue¡¯s eyes reddened upon hearing her father say ¡®come home¡¯. But he hung up so quickly that he didn¡¯t allow her to feel even a trace of warmth. That night, Meng Yue, who hadn¡¯t returned to her family¡¯s home in three years, arrived at the Meng residence at 4:30 p.m. Meng Yue saw Xiang Haoyu¡¯s car the moment she got out of the car. It¡¯s as I predicted. Meng Yue, what¡¯s there to be sad about? Looking at the familiar yet strange home, Meng Yue put aside her thoughts and walked towards the villa. When she reached the living room, Xiang Haoyu immediately welcomed her with a smile. ¡°You¡¯re here!¡± He even helped Meng Yue put down her bag and thoughtfully brought her slippers. Meng Yue felt repulsed by his affectionate behavior. During dinner, Xiang Haoyu acted like a good husband. He kept filling Meng Yue¡¯s bowl with food and even chatted with her parents. Throughout the entire process, Meng Yue felt that she was out of place in this family, and instead, Xiang Haoyu was like their son. Meng Yue ate only a little before putting down her chopsticks. ¡°I¡¯m done, you guys enjoy your meal!¡± Just as Meng Yue was about to leave, her mother, Li Yun, placed a piece of fish in her bowl. ¡°Eat more, it helps with your health. ¡°You¡¯ve been married for three years. It¡¯s time for you to have a child!¡± Meng Yue¡¯s body trembled. A child? Then, she laughed hoarsely. Even if she were to have children in the future, it would definitely not be with Xiang Haoyu. After that, they continued to chat about children. Meng Yue was silent the entire time. She merely fixed her gaze on the fish in her bowl, saddened and feeling the absurdity of the situation. His sister had always liked to eat fish! But she never ate it! Meng Yue only followed after everyone had left the table. However, she didn¡¯t even touch that piece of fish! It wasn¡¯t because of jealousy, but because missing out on maternal love had made her heart icy. When they were about to leave, Xiang Haoyu made an excuse that he had been drinking and did not want to drive his own car. He got into Meng Yue¡¯s car. It was only after the car left the villa that Meng Yue asked, ¡°Where do you live?¡± Xiang Haoyu changed his position and lay down in the passenger¡¯s seat. ¡°I live wherever you live!¡± Meng Yue slammed on the brakes and stopped the car. ¡°If you don¡¯t want to tell me, you can get out now! ¡°I don¡¯t have time to waste on you!¡± Xiang Haoyu¡¯s face stiffened. ¡°Are you angry? ¡°I couldn¡¯t find your address, but I wanted to see you, so I came to the Meng family. Dad thought we had a relationship problem, so¡­¡± Meng Yue laughed. ¡°We don¡¯t even have feelings for each other. What problem can there be? ¡°Either tell me your address or get off now!¡± Xiang Haoyu glowered upon hearing her words. He took out his phone and dialed a number. ¡°Meng Yue, don¡¯t keep forcing me to use Mom and Dad!¡± Meng Yue flew into a rage and frantically snatched at the phone. ¡°Xiang Haoyu, hang up!¡± Xiang Haoyu lifted his phone and threatened, ¡°Send me to your place!¡± Meng Yue gritted her teeth as she looked at the phone. The next moment, the call was connected. ¡°Haoyu, what¡¯s wrong?¡± Xiang Haoyu did not say anything, but simply looked at Meng Yue. Meng Yue grounded out a word. ¡°Fine!¡± Xiang Haoyu immediately said, ¡°I¡¯m sorry, Dad. I accidentally dialed the wrong number!¡± Neither uttered a single word as the car drove all the way to the entrance of Royal View Court. Meng Yue alighted from the car, and Xiang Haoyu followed suit. ¡°I¡¯m already here. I¡¯ll go up and have a look!¡± As he spoke, he took out his phone threateningly. At this moment, Meng Yue didn¡¯t even want to speak to this s***bag! After exiting the elevator, Meng Yue stopped in front of her door. ¡°Xiang Haoyu, don¡¯t push your luck!¡± Xiang Haoyu gestured to the door with his chin. ¡°Open the door. I¡¯ll go in and have a cup of tea!¡± Meng Yue looked at the fingerprint reader and clenched her fists. At this time, Xiang Haoyu forcefully pulled Meng Yue¡¯s finger to the reader. The moment the door opened, he pulled Meng Yue in. He pressed her against the door domineeringly, not giving her any chance to escape. ¡®Click, click, click¡¯. Xiang Haoyu turned on the lights in the room. His hands trembling with irrepressible anger. After that, he stopped Meng Yue and fiercely questioned her. ¡°Meng Yue, I¡¯ve been tolerating you all this time! ¡°You used to call me every day like a dog, begging me to come home, cooking for me. Are you playing hard to get now?¡± Meng Yue looked at his angry face. ¡°I used to be shameless, but I¡¯m sober now. I just want a divorce!¡± Chapter 14 Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio The word ¡®divorce¡¯ once again triggered Xiang Haoyu. He aggressively grabbed her neck. ¡°Meng Yue, tell me the truth. Why do you suddenly want a divorce? ¡°Did you hook up with another man outside?¡± Meng Yue looked at his ferocious face fearlessly. ¡°I should be the one asking you why you suddenly don¡¯t want a divorce?¡± Xiang Haoyu¡¯s eyes flickered. ¡°I suddenly realize that I don¡¯t hate you as much as I did!¡± Meng Yue endured the discomfort on her neck and looked at him as if he was a monster. ¡°Xiang Haoyu, have you shifted the source of your problem?¡± Xiang Haoyu¡¯s eyes glinted. He moved closer to her, his hands exerting more pressure. ¡°I think Mom is right. We should have a child!¡± With that, he kissed Meng Yue¡¯s neck. After realizing his intentions, Meng Yue grabbed her bag and tried to bash him on the head with it. However, after it made contact several times, Xiang Haoyu managed to toss it away. He lost control and tore at Meng Yue¡¯s clothes. ¡°Meng Yue, I really regret not caring about you for the past three years. Why did I leave such a beautiful woman like you alone in our new house? I¡¯ll make it up to you for those three years right now!¡± he said. As he spoke, he ripped her clothes off like a madman! Meng Yue¡¯s eyes narrowed. She grabbed a horned ornament from the shoe cabinet and smashed it over his head. ¡°Xiang Haoyu, you b******!¡± Xiang Haoyu¡¯s head buzzed from the impact. Blood seeped out of his forehead and flowed down the corners of his eyes. Meng Yue didn¡¯t feel the slightest bit of heartache. She took out pepper spray from the drawer and aimed it at Xiang Haoyu. ¡°Are you leaving or not? ¡°If you don¡¯t leave now, the police might be the ones taking you away later!¡± Xiang Haoyu glared at her and wiped the blood on his forehead. When he saw the blood on his hands, he cursed, ¡°Meng Yue, you¡¯re f****** cruel! ¡°I¡¯m your husband!¡± Meng Yue gathered up her clothes. At this time, four of the buttons on her collar had been ripped off by him, and the remaining two were on the verge of falling off. ¡°You won¡¯t be soon!¡± Xiang Haoyu looked at the pepper spray in her hand and opened the door angrily. ¡°Meng Yue, if I don¡¯t want a divorce, you will forever be my woman! ¡°You¡¯re dreaming if you think you can fool around with others!¡± Xiang Haoyu left. His bloodied fingertips pressed the button for the elevator, and the elevator happened to come down from the floor above. When the elevator door opened, Xiang Haoyu and Meng Yue were stunned. At that moment, Mo Hanchen¡¯s tall figure was standing in the elevator. Meng Yue¡¯s eyes narrowed, and she subconsciously tightened her grip on her clothes. Xiang Haoyu, on the other hand, was shocked. Why was Mo Hanchen living here too? Mo Hanchen was obviously calmer than them. He looked at the blood on Xiang Haoyu¡¯s head and smiled teasingly. ¡°Hey, President Xiang, what a coincidence!¡± After that, his gaze shifted to Meng Yue, who was standing behind Xiang Haoyu. ¡°Ms. Meng, we¡¯re really fated to meet!¡± Meng Yue¡¯s eyes darkened, and she slammed the door shut. Leaning against the door, Meng Yue felt unnerved! Why did she feel like she had been caught red-handed when she saw Mo Hanchen? Also, if Xiang Haoyu really didn¡¯t plan on getting a divorce and still insisted on pestering her, what was she going to do? She looked at the ornament that had just been used to hit Xiang Haoyu and saw blood at the corner. She clenched her fist. She could not accept Xiang Haoyu¡¯s touch! It wasn¡¯t just because Xiang Haoyu had messed around with other women before! It was because Mo Hanchen had touched her body, so she could not accept any other man, even if he was her husband! When Xiang Haoyu had tried to molest her, her mind was filled with the night she had spent with Mo Hanchen in the washroom¡­ ¡°B******! ¡°I¡¯m really going crazy!¡± Outside the room. Mo Hanchen looked at Xiang Haoyu, who was standing outside the elevator, and graciously asked, ¡°President Xiang, are you going down?¡± Xiang Haoyu gloomily entered the elevator. Mo Hanchen pressed the button to close the door after he entered. ¡°President Xiang¡¯s injury appears to require hospital treatment!¡± Xiang Haoyu said, ¡°President Mo, you don¡¯t have to worry about me! ¡°But when did President Mo move into this neighborhood?¡± Mo Hanchen¡¯s eyes gleamed. ¡°President Xiang, you¡¯re mistaken. It¡¯s not me who lives here, but my assistant!¡± As he spoke, he waved the document in his hand. ¡°I¡¯m here to get a document! ¡°This needs to be dealt with urgently!¡± Mo Hanchen did not hide the contents of the document¡¯s front cover and deliberately let Xiang Haoyu see the words ¡®Xiang Group¡¯ on it. Obviously, it was information about the collaboration between the Xiang Group and the Moyun Group. ¡°President Mo, I hope you¡¯ll reconsider the collaboration between Moyun and the Xiang group. After all, it¡¯s not only the Xiang Group that will suffer losses!¡± Mo Hanchen took the file and tapped it on his hand. ¡°Because I wasn¡¯t respected, because I was drugged, I was rankled! ¡°If I¡¯m unhappy, I¡¯ll make everyone who displeases me unhappy!¡± He looked at the wound on Xiang Haoyu¡¯s forehead and said, ¡°Besides, I have plenty of money! ¡°I don¡¯t care about earning that little bit of money from the Xiang Group!¡± In the end, he said three words that almost drove Xiang Haoyu crazy. ¡°I¡¯m just playing!¡± When Xiang Haoyu heard this, he was so angry that his knuckles cracked. ¡°Oh, really? Then I hope you have a good time, President Xiang! ¡°Also, don¡¯t always think about what others have. No matter how wonderful and amazing it is, it¡¯s not yours!¡± Mo Hanchen laughed mockingly. ¡°Who says it¡¯s not? ¡°I¡¯ll also direct these same words to you, President Xiang!¡± Xiang Haoyu did not comprehend what Mo Hanchen meant, but he felt that there was a hidden meaning behind his words. Before he left the elevator, he emphasized, ¡°Meng Yue is my wife. I believe President Xiang knows what etiquette and honor mean!¡± Mo Hanchen laughed wrily. ¡°When President Xiang drugged me, sent a woman to my bed, and even planned to force Moyun to provide benefits to the Xiang Group, did you have any etiquette and honor?¡± Xiang Haoyu¡¯s eyes darkened. He was afraid that the fact that he had drugged him would always be hanging over his head! Mo Hanchen continued, ¡°If there¡¯s ever a day where I don¡¯t know about etiquette and honor, that¡¯s because I learned it from President Xiang!¡± ¡°You¡­¡± Xiang Haoyu said. Mo Hanchen looked at the constantly jumping numbers and did not give him a single glance. He warned sternly with an imposing manner, ¡°I believe that President Xiang understands what I mean.¡± ¡°I don¡¯t understand!¡± Xiang Haoyu retorted angrily. He instantly had a bad feeling. Mo Hanchen smirked coldly. ¡°Then, since President Xiang doesn¡¯t understand, I might as well explain it clearly!¡± ¡°I¡¯m simply toying with your wife to punish you for your mistake. Not finishing the Xiang Group off is already being exceedingly merciful! ¡°Does President Xiang want me to dig out the Xiang Group¡¯s roots? Or do you want me to send you to jail for eight to ten years?¡± Xiang Haoyu suddenly panicked. ¡°You can¡¯t!¡± ¡°I can¡¯t?¡± Mo Hanchen looked at his flustered face sarcastically. ¡°President Xiang, are you doubting my ability?¡± Xiang Haoyu was getting worked up. He dared not look at Mo Hanchen again. When the elevator reached the first floor, he bolted away in fear. Chapter 15 Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio Mo Hanchen looked at his hastily retreating figure, eyes filled with scorn. He pressed the door close button. The elevator stopped at Meng Yue¡¯s floor. Her earlier disheveled appearance had stung his eyes! His woman should not have to suffer such humiliation. He rang the doorbell. At that moment, Meng Yue was in a daze. She was startled when she heard the doorbell ring. When she turned on the video doorbell and saw the man outside, she was so flustered that she almost couldn¡¯t stand straight. Was he there to settle scores with her? Was he going to bring up the matter of ¡®being his woman¡¯ again? Did he just go down with Xiang Haoyu? Did they say anything about her? A thousand different reasons why Mo Hanchen was looking for her flashed through her mind in an instant. However, she eliminated every possibility! She didn¡¯t want to know! And felt even less like opening the door! The man then took out his phone and started to dial! Not long after, Meng Yue¡¯s phone rang. Meng Yue disconnected the call in a panic. A short while later, she received a message. ¡°Open up! ¡°You should believe that I have a thousand ways to make you open up. However, you might not like any of them!¡± Meng Yue put down her phone and frenziedly tidied her hair. She put on a casual jacket before opening the door. Mo Hanchen stood outside the door, his imposing manner making Meng Yue¡¯s heart skip a beat. ¡°Mr. Mo, what¡¯s the matter?¡± Mo Hanchen saw her panic and said in a low voice, ¡°Let me in!¡± Meng Yue stood at the door, not letting him in. ¡°It¡¯s not appropriate for a man and a woman to be alone in the same room. Moreover, it¡¯s late now, so please go back, Mr. Mo¡­¡± Without waiting for her to finish, he had already grabbed her wrist and waist, entering the house. Meng Yue was shocked to hear the door close. ¡°You¡­¡± ¡°Don¡¯t struggle unnecessarily in the future. Whatever I say, goes. Otherwise, you¡¯ll be the one to suffer in the end!¡± Meng Yue strained, trying to pull her hand back, but he held her wrist tightly. ¡°Mr. Mo, please speak your mind!¡± Mo Hanchen threw the document in his hand on the dining table. Then, he carried her to the table. Meng Yue was so afraid that she wanted to jump down, but he caught her. He suddenly lowered his head. ¡°Don¡¯t move!¡± As expected, Meng Yue did not dare to move! Mo Hanchen¡¯s lips curled up when he saw how obedient she was. He thought to himself, ¡°If only she was always this obedient!¡± ¡°Where did he touch you just now?¡± Meng Yue¡¯s eyes moved, and she shrank back, looking at him cautiously. ¡°What does it have to do with you?¡± He stretched out his long arm and hugged her even tighter. ¡°I¡¯m warning you again, don¡¯t move!¡± Meng Yue sighed. ¡°What exactly do you want? ¡°I¡¯m a married woman. Mr. Mo, please have some self-respect!¡± Mo Hanchen lifted her chin slightly. ¡°I remember telling you that I have no self-respect!¡± At that moment, a red mark on Meng Yue¡¯s neck made him narrow his eyes dangerously. ¡°Did he touch you here?¡± Meng Yue smacked his hand away in anger. ¡°It¡¯s none of your business!¡± Mo Hanchen took a step closer to her when he saw the fury in her eyes. One of his large hands held hers and pulled them behind her. The other hand held the back of her head and he spoke in a low and hoarse voice. ¡°I can let you recall that night right now! ¡°What do you think?¡± Meng Yue¡¯s face was red with shame. She pursed her lips and spat out a few words. ¡°Mo Hanchen, you¡¯re shameless!¡± Mo Hanchen chuckled. ¡°If I was afraid of feeling shame, would I be here now?¡± At that instant, a ringing phone interrupted his shameless words. Just as he was about to reach for the phone in his pocket, he realized that it wasn¡¯t his phone that was ringing. ¡°Your phone is ringing!¡± Meng Yue struggled to reach for her phone. She clenched her fists when she saw the name on the screen. It was Xiang Haoyu. She subconsciously looked at Mo Hanchen. Mo Hanchen saw it as well. ¡°What are you looking at me for? Answer it!¡± Meng Yue looked at him and tried to get down, but Mo Hanchen refused to let go. ¡°I promise I won¡¯t say anything!¡± Meng Yue shot him a suspicious look before clearing her throat and answering the call. ¡°What is it?¡± Xiang Haoyu warned, ¡°Meng Yue, if you dare to have any ambiguous relationship with Mo Hanchen, I will destroy the Meng Group. After that, I will destroy you!¡± Meng Yue looked at Mo Hanchen, who was smiling. That smile was evil and seductive! ¡°Is there anything else?¡± Xiang Haoyu lowered his voice. ¡°I¡¯ll come to your place for dinner after work tomorrow night. Make me a few dishes!¡± Meng Yue sneered, ¡°Xiang Haoyu, stop dreaming. I¡¯ve been doing this for three years and I¡¯m sick of it. Go and find your Qing¡¯er and whatever else you have!¡± Just as she was about to hang up, Xiang Haoyu called out to her. ¡°Wait a moment! ¡°Meng Yue, I advise you to be more sensible. If I don¡¯t see you at West Coast Water City tomorrow night, I might not be able to help but run to the Meng family again. When that happens, don¡¯t blame me for not warning you in advance!¡± ¡°Xiang Haoyu, you s***bag!¡± Meng Yue cursed. With that, she hung up the phone. When she recovered from her rage, she realized that Mo Hanchen had undid her collar and was staring at the bruises on her neck. She slapped his hand away again. ¡°Mo Hanchen, what are you doing? ¡°Hooligan!¡± Mo Hanchen¡¯s face darkened. ¡°He left this?¡± Meng Yue gripped her clothes tightly and jumped off the table. ¡°It¡¯s none of your business!¡± Mo Hanchen grabbed her wrist. ¡°I¡¯m asking you a question!¡± Meng Yue¡¯s temper flared. ¡°I told you, it has nothing to do with you!¡± In an instant, the words ¡®it has nothing to do with you¡¯ pushed Mo Hanchen over the edge! He carried Meng Yue in his arms and walked towards the sofa. Meng Yue was so terrified that she struggled wildly. ¡°B******, what are you doing? ¡°Let me go!¡± However, she was no match for him. He threw her onto the sofa in three big steps. ¡°I dare you to say that it has nothing to do with me again!¡± His stance was such that they could shortly have sex if they wanted to. ¡°I¡¯ll ask you once more, did he leave those behind? ¡°You let him touch you?¡± Meng Yue couldn¡¯t breathe from the pressure, but she couldn¡¯t break free from his embrace. ¡°He¡¯s my husband. So what if I let him touch me? It¡¯s none of your business!¡± Mo Hanchen was furious. He held her hands above her head and bit her neck hard. ¡°Ah¡­¡± Meng Yue was in so much pain that tears streamed down her face. ¡°B******! ¡°Let me go!¡± Mo Hanchen finally released her when he tasted the blood in his mouth. He got up and straightened his suit. ¡°Guard your body, don¡¯t let him touch you!¡± Meng Yue touched her wound, wearing a willful expression on her face as her tears flowed. ¡°Mr. Mo, it¡¯s up to me who touches me. It has nothing to do with you!¡± Chapter 16 Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio The next second, Mo Hanchen slickly bent down once more. ¡°That mouth of yours can¡¯t seem to learn its lesson, can it?¡± This time, Meng Yue was really fearful. ¡°What are you doing now?¡± ¡°Open!¡± Mo Hanchen held her hand and stared at the bleeding wound. He then looked at her tear-stained face and his heart hurt. That night in the washroom, she had also cried. She had cried so much that her entire body had been trembling! This time, she cried so much that his heart ached! ¡°Be good and listen to me. Otherwise, I can¡¯t help but leave something on you.¡± Meng Yue shrank back into the sofa. She was afraid he would do something rash, but yet didn¡¯t want to yield to his abuse of power. ¡°Get up first, I¡¯m not comfortable with you pressing on me like this!¡± Mo Hanchen let out a breath of hot air and warned himself to stay away from her! Otherwise, he would be the one embarrassed in the end if he got heated up! Meng Yue heaved a sigh of relief as he got up. This man¡¯s every move was extremely devilish and charming! If he didn¡¯t get up soon, she didn¡¯t know what would happen next and whether she could control herself. Mo Hanchen walked to the dining room, poured himself a glass of cold water, and gulped it down. Meng Yue¡¯s ears turned red! That was her usual cup! She would touch the place where he was drinking water every day! Would that count as an indirect kiss? Bah! Bah! Bah! Meng Yue, what are you still thinking about at a time like this? When Mo Hanchen looked at her, she happened to be looking at the glass in his hand. Seeing her flushed face, he immediately knew what was going on! Meng Yue turned away nervously. ¡°Mr. Mo, are you so obsessed with all the women you¡¯ve slept with?¡± He put down the cup and raised his eyebrows. ¡°What do you think?¡± Meng Yue stood up and guardedly walked towards the balcony. She thought to herself that, should he dare to do anything, she would jump from the window! ¡°I don¡¯t know what I did wrong to give Mr. Mo the impression that I¡¯m frivolous.¡± ¡°Oh?¡± Mo Hanchen said. ¡°Why do you say so?¡± Meng Yue scoffed. ¡°We¡¯re all adults here. You were drugged by Xiang Haoyu and slept with his wife. It can be said that you¡¯ve gotten your revenge! If you¡¯re not satisfied, you can settle the score with him, punish the Xiang Group, or terminate the collaboration. It¡¯s nothing to do with me! ¡°However, we¡¯ve only slept together once, and Mr. Mo already thinks that I¡¯m frivolous and cheap. I don¡¯t think it¡¯s right for you to force yourself on me to be your mistress, right?¡± Mo Hanchen¡¯s expression turned cold. ¡°Continue!¡± Meng Yue¡¯s heart skipped a beat as she looked at his unhappy expression. However, since she had already spoken, there was no reason for her to leave it at that. ¡°Mr. Mo, you just questioned me sternly about my relationship with my husband. May I know what basis you have?¡± She sneered sarcastically. ¡°Perhaps this is a game for you businessmen? And I¡¯m lucky enough to be your pawn?¡± Mo Hanchen¡¯s expression darkened. ¡°Pawn? You really think too highly of yourself!¡± Meng Yue paused and tightened her grip on the sill. Mo Hanchen continued to argue, ¡°If I, Mo Hanchen, want to take revenge or punish someone, I only know how to spend money. But you¡­ ¡°So far, I haven¡¯t even said anything harsh!¡± Meng Yue¡¯s heart trembled again, as if something was about to slip out of her mouth. However, she was also afraid that she was overthinking it. Hence, she smirked, ¡°Could it be that Mr. Mo has fallen for me?¡± Mo Hanchen furrowed his brows. Her smile made him want to teach her a lesson. ¡°Guess?¡± ¡°I¡¯m not guessing!¡± Meng Yue said. ¡°I¡¯m warning you, I¡¯m not your tool, and I¡¯m not your pawn!¡± Mo Hanchen approached her and stopped in his tracks when he saw her hand on the window sill. Was she going to jump off the building if he closed in on her again? It pained him to think of this. She was afraid that he would force himself on her. She¡¯d rather die than submit? He met her gaze and said with a serious expression, ¡°You were never a pawn!¡± Meng Yue pursed her lips, feeling even more nervous. If not a pawn, then what was she? Looking at his serious and aloof face, she eventually did not dare ask! Mo Hanchen saw her cowardice and pressed his lips together. ¡°Coward!¡± he cursed. Meng Yue¡¯s mouth opened, but she didn¡¯t refute it. Her silent acknowledgment made him take a deep breath. ¡°You were quite bold when you rejected me, and you were the same when you hit Xiang Haoyu. Why are you cowering now?¡± He continued to persuade her. ¡°Meng Yue, if you dare to ask, I¡¯ll definitely answer you!¡± For some reason, Meng Yue blushed. ¡°No need; I don¡¯t want to know!¡± She didn¡¯t have the status to find out! She sent him off with a cold expression. ¡°Mr. Mo, please leave! ¡°It¡¯s getting late!¡± Mo Hanchen sighed. ¡°I¡¯ll ask you one last time, did you let him touch you?¡± Meng Yue¡¯s eyes narrowed. ¡°What if he touched me?¡± Mo Hanchen picked up the documents that he had tossed on the table earlier and sat on the sofa in the living room. He crossed his legs like a boss and started to read through the documents, looking as though he was going to stay for supper. ¡°The Xiang Group is finished! ¡°If the Xiang Group is finished, then the Meng family will be finished too!¡± Meng Yue frowned. ¡°You¡­¡± Mo Hanchen interrupted her, ¡°You know how I feel about you! ¡°We¡¯re all adults, there¡¯s no need to hide!¡± The corners of Meng Yue¡¯s mouth twitched. ¡°¡­ How shameless!¡± Mo Hanchen looked up from the document. ¡°If it wasn¡¯t for your current status, I might have been even more shameless!¡± Meng Yue lowered her eyes, her heart trembling. He knew everything! He knew exactly what she was worried about. ¡°I didn¡¯t let him touch me!¡± Her voice was very low, so low that it sounded like a whisper. Mo Hanchen¡¯s eyes lit up when he heard it. Before he could say anything, she added, ¡°I didn¡¯t let him touch me not because of you. It has nothing to do with you!¡± Her state of mind had changed! She couldn¡¯t accept Xiang Haoyu! Mo Hanchen¡¯s lips curled up as he stood up and walked towards her. Meng Yue started to get jittery again. ¡°Don¡¯t come here!¡± Mo Hanchen stopped a meter away from her. ¡°Don¡¯t let him touch you! ¡°Otherwise, I don¡¯t care what your marital status is right now, I¡¯ll directly snatch you away! ¡°And then kill him!¡± he warned fiercely. Meng Yue stared at his face, speechless. ¡°Mo Hanchen, we live in a society ruled by law!¡± Mo Hanchen laughed coldly, his meaning obvious. ¡°Since I dare to do it, I¡¯m confident that no one will be able to find any evidence against me!¡± He smiled provocatively. ¡°If you don¡¯t believe me, you can try!¡± Meng Yue was at a loss for words. Try, your foot! He no longer scared her. ¡°Save my phone number. Call me immediately if anything happens!¡± Meng Yue was gobsmacked. Call, my foot! Mo Hanchen looked at her disgruntled expression. ¡°Huh?¡± Meng Yue glared at him, refusing to answer him. Mo Hanchen pursed his lips. ¡°Can¡¯t you be a little more obedient? ¡°To be honest, I don¡¯t want to force myself on you at all!¡± Meng Yue¡¯s face instantly became hot. She had never known that a man could be shameless to this extent. Chapter 17 Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio Mo Hanchen looked at her, waiting for an answer. ¡°Yes?¡± His voice was raised at the end, low and sexy. ¡°Got it!¡± Meng Yue said. ¡°It¡¯s late. Please go back, Mr. Mo!¡± In the end, Mo Hanchen really left! Meng Yue stared at the closed door for a long time, unable to collect her thoughts. She had indirectly made a promise to Mo Hanchen¡­ Just as she was in a daze, her phone rang. Looking at the unfamiliar number, Meng Yue subconsciously swallowed and cleared her throat. ¡°Hello!¡± The man¡¯s deep voice rang beside her ear. ¡°Mo Hanchen!¡± ¡°I know!¡± This sudden shyness made Meng Yue think that she might have gone crazy. ¡°Is anything the matter?¡± Meng Yue asked. Mo Hanchen said in a low voice, ¡°Don¡¯t go out for the next two days!¡± ¡°Why?¡± Meng Yue asked. Mo Hanchen teased, ¡°Because it¡¯s dark outside; there may be ghosts!¡± Meng Yue subconsciously looked out of the window at the pitch-black darkness. At the mention of ¡®ghost¡¯, she suddenly felt that her house was spooky and eerie. ¡°I¡¯m hanging up if there¡¯s nothing else!¡± This man was beyond childish! He chuckled. ¡°I¡¯m being serious. If you are captured outside and sent to my bed, I might just enjoy you without hesitation!¡± ¡°Impossible!¡± Meng Yue exclaimed. ¡°Xiang Haoyu wouldn¡¯t do that! ¡°Although we don¡¯t get along well, and he¡¯s often unreliable, I still believe in his character!¡± Mo Hanchen¡¯s tone suddenly turned frosty. ¡°Meng Yue, you owe me! ¡°You need to be taught a lesson!¡± After that, he hung up the phone without even saying goodbye! Meng Yue had no words as she looked at the phone. ¡°This¡­ ¡°There¡¯s something wrong with him¡­¡± At three in the morning, Meng Yue hazily received a call from a strange woman. ¡°Meng Yue, you b****! Did you ask Haoyu to ignore me? ¡°You shameless b****! Just because Haoyu doesn¡¯t like you and doesn¡¯t want you, you¡¯re forcing him to not come and look for me, right?¡± Meng Yuncheng dug her ears and cursed. ¡°Crazy!¡± She immediately hung up! Within five seconds, her phone rang again. ¡°Meng Yue, I advise you to divorce Haoyu! He doesn¡¯t love you, he loves me! I¡¯ve been with him for three years, since your wedding night. And we¡¯ve always had a good relationship. He even said that he would divorce you and marry me¡­ ¡°Speak, did you say something to Haoyu? He¡¯s not answering my calls or replying to my messages. I can¡¯t find him. My world has collapsed¡­¡± The woman¡¯s hysterical cries made Meng Yue¡¯s head feel as though it was going to explode! Meng Yue wanted to scold her back, but she felt that there was no need to. She had been hysterical before! On their wedding night! At that time, Xiang Haoyu had told her, as she wore her wedding dress, that she should have been the one to die! She was alive, and had brought pain to everyone! If she had died, perhaps everyone¡¯s pain would be lessened! They wouldn¡¯t think of the Meng Wan they loved when they looked at her. Meng Yue sucked in her breath as she thought about the past. However, no one cared if she had wanted to be saved. She would rather be the one to die than to live in such pain and suffering now! Hearing the painful cries, Meng Yue thought of her past self. Fine! Another silly woman. A woman who was even more foolish than her! ¡°Sigh, pitiful thing. I¡¯ll send you the address. You can go and look for him!¡± Then, she gave her the address of the apartment where Xiang Haoyu was currently living. After that, she turned off her phone and covered herself with the blanket before going back to sleep! She didn¡¯t wake until the alarm clock rang the next day. As soon as she turned on her phone, Xiang Haoyu called her! ¡°Meng Yue, is there something wrong with your head?¡± Meng Yue scoffed, turned on the speakerphone, and entered the bathroom to wash up. ¡°There must be something wrong with my head for me to answer your calls!¡± Then, Xiang Haoyu¡¯s enraged voice could be heard from the other side of the phone. ¡°I used to run to other women every day, but you called me daily, asking me to come home. Now I don¡¯t run out anymore, don¡¯t hang out with other women anymore, and want to live peacefully with you. But you¡¯re good, pushing women to me. Are you f****** off your rocker, or have you been dropped on the head? Or is it that I¡¯ve given in too much to you the past two days?¡± Meng Yue felt indescribably carefree as she listened to the irascible voice. ¡°Xiang Haoyu, you can continue to play with women, you can continue not to come home, no one asked you change!¡± ¡°Meng Yue¡­¡± Xiang Haoyu suddenly said in an exhausted voice. ¡°I was serious when I said I wanted to start over! ¡°I know I went a little too far before, but I really want to live happily with you now. I¡¯ve had enough fun with women outside. I want a stable home, where there will be someone waiting for me when I go home each day; someone who has already prepared dinner when I return. Then, have a child together and watch her grow up!¡± Meng Yue suddenly felt a lump in her throat. If it were in the past, she might have been moved to tears and even be grateful for his forgiveness! Even if he had been a playboy for the past three years, and might have slept with more women than she was aware of! However, the timing had been just a few days short. Things had changed with the passage of time, and she was no longer who she¡¯d been earlier! All this time, she had been dreaming about Mo Hanchen who had taken her first time! He coaxed her to relax, hugged her, and praised her for her beauty¡­ Meng Yue returned to reality. ¡°These things can be done by your Qing¡¯er, your Lu¡¯er, and any other woman!¡± ¡°But those women are not you, Meng Yue,¡± said Xiang Haoyu.¡±They¡¯re not Meng Wan¡¯s sisters, and they¡¯ve never married me or registered our marriage!¡± Hearing Meng Wan¡¯s name, Meng Yue smiled bitterly. At this moment, she heard Xiang Haoyu¡¯s assistant knocking on the door and coming in to report work. His landline phone continued to ring. It seemed that Mo Hanchen¡¯s termination of the collaboration between the Moyun Group and the Xiang Group had dealt them a huge blow! ¡°Go and settle your work!¡± For some reason, she felt bad for him! Xiang Haoyu let out a sigh. ¡°I wanted to go home tonight, but it seems like I can¡¯t!¡± Meng Yue said, ¡°¡­Got it!¡± Before he hung up, Xiang Haoyu added, ¡°Call me if you need anything!¡± Meng Yue didn¡¯t answer and hung up. After all, she had been in love with this man for three years. Even though he had not shown his love for her in the past three years, she felt so sad that her eyes turned red upon seeing him forced into such a state. If she didn¡¯t love him, she wouldn¡¯t feel hurt! Xiang Haoyu looked at the phone and pressed his sore temple. Because he had not fallen asleep for the first half of the night, he could not figure out whether Mo Hanchen¡¯s appearance at Royal View Court was intentional or coincidental, but he still cared! He also had the illusion that his woman was being stared at every day! The disconcerting feeling made him irritable and lose his usual patience and calm! As he listened to the constant ringing of the landline, and his cell phone starting to ring, he angrily waved away the phones. Finally, the world fell silent. His father had given him three days, and today was the last day. However, the company¡¯s situation had not improved. Instead, it had become worse! Chapter 18 Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio At this moment, the head of the legal department came over and reported, ¡°President Xiang, the people from the tax bureau are here!¡± Xiang Haoyu was so incensed that he swept everything off his desk. ¡°Mo Hanchen, you¡¯ll die a horrible death!¡± Xiang Haoyu¡¯s father, Xiang Shen, suddenly walked in, followed by the Xiang family¡¯s steward, Zhou Liang! He looked at the dispirited Xiang Haoyu in exasperation. ¡°Go back and rest! ¡°From now on, I have the final say in the Xiang Group!¡± He then left with Zhou Liang. ¡°Old Zhou, contact Meng Yue and tell her that I¡¯m treating her to tea!¡± Meng Yue and her best friend, Zhang Shuang, had set up a small studio that specialized in providing high-quality murals, such as for exhibition halls, exhibition rooms, libraries, luxury hotels, villas, and so on. When she received Zhou Liang¡¯s call, she and Zhang Shuang were seeing to a project at a seven-star hotel. Looking at the caller ID, Meng Yue didn¡¯t need to guess to know that her father-in-law was looking for her. It might be related to the Xiang Group. It was already half an hour later when she arrived at the agreed-upon caf¨¦. Xiang Shen greeted her first, ¡°Meng Yue, you¡¯re here!¡± ¡°Dad,¡± Meng Yue called out in a low voice. ¡°Don¡¯t be nervous, come and sit.¡± The last time Meng Yue had seen Xiang Shen had been at her wedding with Xiang Haoyu. Xiang Shen and his wife had subsequently been living abroad. If Xiang Haoyu did not return home during the holidays, she had no reason to do so. Meng Yue had just picked up the teacup in front of her when Xiang Shen went straight to the point. ¡°You should have heard about the Xiang Group¡¯s situation, right?¡± Meng Liang nodded obediently. ¡°Yes!¡± She looked at Xiang Shen and waited for his next move. Xiang Shen sighed, ¡°I heard that you¡¯re in the process of getting a divorce?¡± Meng Yue¡¯s eyes flashed and she continued to nod. ¡°Yes!¡± Xiang Shen¡¯s expression darkened. ¡°I also heard that you offended Mo Hanchen from the Moyun Group?¡± Meng Liang laughed. ¡°Dad, you must have heard that Mo Hanchen wants me, right?¡± Xiang Shen heaved a sigh, a helpless expression on his face. ¡°The Xiang Group can¡¯t be finished in Haoyu¡¯s hands! ¡°Uncle has no choice!¡± Meng Liang laughed sarcastically. ¡°Uncle?¡± This was her father-in-law. How ironic! ¡°I understand what you mean, Uncle!¡± As she said this, she looked at Xiang Shen. ¡°Does Xiang Haoyu know that you¡¯re here to talk to me about this?¡± Xiang Shen looked at Meng Yue. ¡°He doesn¡¯t! And there¡¯s no need for him to know! ¡°I have the final say in your matters!¡± Meng Yue held the cup and nodded. With that, she walked to the front desk and returned with a piece of paper. She placed it in front of Xiang Shen. ¡°Uncle, this is the divorce agreement. Get Xiang Haoyu to sign it and hand it to me. After I get the divorce certificate, I¡¯ll go and look for Mo Hanchen!¡± Xiang Shen¡¯s face instantly darkened as he looked at the paper in front of him. ¡°You don¡¯t believe that I can solve your problem?¡± Meng Yue smiled. ¡°I believe you! ¡°It¡¯s safer for me to wait until I get the divorce certificate. After all, if I don¡¯t have the divorce certificate, I¡¯ll be with Mo Hanchen in an unclear way and someone will create trouble for me. Not only will the Meng family be humiliated, Mo Hanchen will be humiliated, and the Xiang family¡¯s reputation will be tarnished!¡± Hearing this, Xiang Shen¡¯s face froze, and he couldn¡¯t help but avert his eyes! He felt embarrassed that she had seen through his thoughts. It was also at this time that he obtained a new understanding of Meng Yue! He had indeed come to her today with some intentions. Meng Yue turned to Xiang Shen. ¡°What do you think?¡± Xiang Shen picked up the teacup in front of him and took a sip of tea. ¡°You¡¯ve considered everything!¡± Meng Yue smiled and nodded. ¡°I believe that Uncle has considered this more than I do. After all, Mo Hanchen is not easy to deal with. ¡°Additionally, Xiang Haoyu was the one who set him up first! ¡°And I¡¯m just a scapegoat!¡± Xiang Shen¡¯s eyes gleamed. ¡°As long as you settle Mo Hanchen¡¯s matter, I¡¯ll give you 50 million!¡± Meng Yue lowered her eyes. ¡°Uncle is so generous. This is more than the betrothal gifts back then!¡± Xiang Shen¡¯s eyes darkened, his face burning in embarrassment. ¡°You should talk to Xiang Haoyu about the divorce first. After all, we can only discuss further when we have the divorce certificate!¡± After that, Meng Yue politely said goodbye and left. At this moment, Zhou Liang walked out from the shadows. ¡°Young Madam is much more clear-headed than we thought!¡± Xiang Shen¡¯s phone then rang. It was Xiang Haoyu¡¯s assistant, Guo Rui. ¡°President Xiang, we can¡¯t take it anymore!¡± Hanging up the phone, Xiang Shen was in despair. ¡°That evil creature, I can¡¯t wait to kill him now!¡± Zhou Liang said, ¡°You can¡¯t blame it all on Young Master. Mo Hanchen is not a good person either!¡± Xiang Shen slammed his hand on the table in frustration. ¡°Who is Mo Hanchen? He¡¯s not someone he can play with! If he didn¡¯t have any bad intentions, how could there be such a disaster!¡± Zhou Liang exhaled. ¡°Now that things have come to this, we have no choice but to get a divorce!¡± Xiang Shen sighed, ¡°I tried to sound him out previously. It shouldn¡¯t be that easy to get him to divorce!¡± A devious look flashed across Zhou Liang¡¯s face. ¡°Old Master, do you think this will work¡­¡± After Xiang Haoyu¡¯s father had taken over his job, he stormed out of the Xiang Group! He gave Meng Yue a call, and the latter answered it once before hanging up with the excuse that she was busy. After that, he called her again, but she didn¡¯t answer at all! He threw his phone on the ground in fury. He drove all the way to West Coast Water City, but the place was vacuous and empty. When he arrived at Royal View Court, he realized that he couldn¡¯t even enter Meng Yue¡¯s building without the owner¡¯s permission. Finally, he arrived at the Supreme Club! The place had already reopened for business! He ordered some wine and began to drink alone. Not long after, the door to his room was pushed open. A beautiful figure walked in. ¡°Haoyu..¡± Xiang Haoyu squinted drunkenly at the figure before him. ¡°Meng Yue, I knew you can¡¯t bear to leave me.¡± Chen Qing¡¯s beautiful face stiffened. ¡°Haoyu, I¡¯m Chen Qing. I¡¯m your Qing¡¯er, don¡¯t you remember? We used to be together almost every day!¡± However, Xiang Haoyu was not listening to her words at all. He held onto Chen Qing. ¡°Meng Yue, my good Yueyue¡­ ¡°Meng Yue, you¡¯ve loved me and pursued me for three years. How can you divorce me¡­ ¡°Let¡¯s be together. Let¡¯s have a child and be together forever¡­¡± Everything after happened naturally. They shortly arrived at the suite upstairs. After a long while, calm was finally restored. Chen Qing looked at the man who was fast asleep, her eyes filled with hurt. They had been together many times, and she knew that she was not Xiang Haoyu¡¯s only woman. However, she was the one who had stayed by his side the longest. Today was the first time she had been a substitute! She was Meng Yue¡¯s substitute! What a joke! Chen Qing was unwilling! At this moment, her eyes glinted and a plan came to her mind. She took out her phone and lay in Xiang Haoyu¡¯s arms¡­ Chapter 19 Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio Meng Yue received Chen Qing¡¯s photo at 3 p.m.! She had been eating noodles at that moment. The photo of the two of them together was ambiguous and repulsive! Almost instantly, Meng Yue ran towards the bathroom. They were both were covered in marks, and she was so disgusted that she vomited out all the noodles that she had just eaten. Meng Yue leaned over the toilet and looked at the nasty photos again. Xiang Haoyu, you¡¯re really determined to start over with me! He was so determined that he had called her in the morning and then went to bed with another woman in the afternoon! Meng Yue poured away the remaining noodles in her bowl and lost all desire to continue eating. At night, she received a message from the steward, Zhou Liang. ¡°Uncle Zhou!¡± Zhou Liang said respectfully, ¡°Ms. Meng, Young Master and Old Master are both here at the Supreme Club. If you have time, come over and discuss the divorce!¡± Afraid that Meng Yue wouldn¡¯t believe him, he added, ¡°Young Master is here too!¡± ¡°Okay,¡± Meng Yue answered and hung up. This Xiang Haoyu was really efficient. He slept with a woman, had a divorce, and saved the Xiang Group. He did all three without delay! By the time she arrived at the Supreme Club, half an hour had already passed! The last time she had been here, she had lost her virginity and had gotten tangled up with Mo Hanchen! This time, she might be giving up her marriage here! She even suspected that this place was her nemesis! Seeing how anxious the Xiang family was, she guessed that the Xiang Group was unable to withstand Mo Hanchen¡¯s blows! Meng Yue knocked on the door. Zhou Liang came to answer the door. ¡°Ms. Meng, you¡¯re here!¡± ¡°Uncle Zhou!¡± Meng Yue looked into the private room and did not see Xiang Haoyu. She looked at Zhou Liang. She had a bad feeling about this! However, she still politely greeted Xiang Shen, ¡°Uncle!¡± Xiang Shen¡¯s eyes had a meaningful look. With a dark expression, he passed Meng Yue the divorce papers she had previously given him. ¡°I¡¯ve spoken to Haoyu about the divorce, and he agreed to it!¡± Meng Yue looked at Xiang Shen in disbelief. ¡°He agreed to it so quickly? ¡°Where¡¯s Xiang Haoyu?¡± At this time, Zhou Liang interrupted, ¡°Young Master has no choice. He¡¯s currently working overtime at the Xiang Group!¡± ¡°Now, that b****** Mo Hanchen has reported the Xiang Group for tax evasion. The company is in a mess!¡± Meng Yue smiled. ¡°If there¡¯s no problem with the Xiang Group, I don¡¯t think they¡¯d be afraid of the tax department¡¯s inspection!¡± Xiang Shen and Zhou Liang opened their mouths at the same time, but couldn¡¯t give any explanations. After a long while, Xiang Shen awkwardly cleared his throat and pushed a cup of tea in front of him towards Meng Yue. ¡°Sit down and have a cup of tea!¡± Meng Yue exhaled. She glanced at the yet-to-be signed divorce papers and eventually sat down. ¡°Xiang Haoyu has woken up so quickly? He even went to work overtime?¡± Xiang Shen froze, ¡°What do you mean?¡± Meng Yue showed Xiang Shen the photos she received that afternoon. ¡°I received them this afternoon. He should be awake by now, right? ¡°If he¡¯s awake, then let him come over! ¡°He has to sign the divorce papers himself!¡± Xiang Shen looked at the photo and angrily slammed the table. ¡°This animal!¡± The corners of Meng Yue¡¯s mouth twitched. ¡°It looks like Uncle doesn¡¯t know about this yet!¡± Xiang Shen instantly freaked out. ¡°I¡­¡± Meng Yue sneered and stood up. ¡°Next time, just give me the agreement after Xiang Haoyu has signed it!¡± She was about to leave. At this moment, Zhou Liang blocked the door of the private room. ¡°Ms. Meng, Young Master is waiting for you in the suite upstairs. He knows that he is in the wrong, so he doesn¡¯t dare to come down to see Old Master. He said that you can come over and get him to sign the papers directly!¡± Meng Yue was not stupid! ¡°Uncle, let him sign it! Sign it and give it to me. Once I get the divorce certificate, I¡¯ll definitely look for Mo Hanchen!¡± Xiang Shen ordered Zhou Liang, ¡°Let her drink it! ¡°Send it up!¡± Zhou Liang¡¯s eyes flashed ruthlessly. ¡°Alright!¡± As he spoke, he went to take the cup of tea from the table. Meng Yue panicked, but it was too late to open the door and escape! Just then, several bodyguards came out of the room and surrounded Meng Yue. She looked at Xiang Shen. ¡°Uncle, what are you trying to do?¡± Xiang Shen gestured to Zhou Liang, ¡°Drink this tea and I¡¯ll tell you!¡± At this time, Zhou Liang had already walked towards Meng Yue with a cup of tea. ¡°Ms. Meng, drink this tea and the Xiang Group¡¯s crisis will be resolved. The divorce certificate will definitely be in your hands!¡± Meng Yue looked at the tea in Zhou Liang¡¯s hand. ¡°Did you do something to this tea?¡± Xiang Shen said, ¡°Don¡¯t spend time entertaining her. Pour it down her throat!¡± After that, four bodyguards and Zhou Liang attacked Meng Yue together and held her down tightly. After being forced to drink a whole cup of tea, Meng Yue looked very embarrassed. Her originally neat hair was now sticking to her face in a mess, her tears and tea were mixed together, and her clothes were also torn. She stared unwaveringly at Xiang Shen¡¯s face. ¡°You¡¯ll all get your retribution!¡± Xiang Shen was startled by the hatred in her eyes. ¡°I had no choice. I spent a lot of effort today to get the news that Mo Hanchen is here for a social event. Just take it that the Xiang family has let you down. After this, I will definitely make Haoyu divorce you. I will give you the 50 million that we agreed on!¡± Meng Yue¡¯s back was against the door. When she heard Mo Hanchen¡¯s name, she suddenly felt relieved! If she was sent to his bed, it could be considered the best possible ending! At least it was better than making her accompany some tax officer or president of a bank. The drugs in her body quickly took effect, and she felt her heart burning. She didn¡¯t even need to guess what kind of dirty drugs were in the tea. Mo Hanchen had been poisoned with this previously! ¡°Sure enough, they are father and son!¡± She looked at Xiang Shen with disdain, ¡°The father actually used the same filthy methods that the son used, and on his daughter-in-law! Even wanting to send his daughter-in-law to another man¡¯s bed!¡± Xiang Shen¡¯s face flushed red. ¡°We¡¯ll give 2% of the profits to the Meng family in the later stages of our collaboration!¡± Meng Yue¡¯s smile turned even icier. ¡°Do you think you¡¯re free of guilt just like that? ¡°The Xiang family and the Xiang Group will get their retribution!¡± Xiang Shen felt inexplicably jittery. On one hand, he was doing it behind Xiang Haoyu¡¯s back! On the other hand, he had a feeling that things might not go so smoothly! Xiang Shen gave Zhou Liang a look, ¡°Send her up! Send her directly to Mo Hanchen!¡± He looked at Meng Yue and said, ¡°Please don¡¯t do anything funny!¡± Meng Yue was taken away, and Xiang Shen made a call. Not long after, Mo Hanchen picked up the call. ¡°Elder Xiang!¡± Just these two words made Xiang Shen¡¯s entire body tremble. Because Mo Hanchen¡¯s aura was so strong, even he, who was over 50 years old, felt that he could not withstand it. ¡°I gave Mr. Mo a big gift today at room 2888. I hope Mr. Mo will like it!¡± ¡°Oh?¡± Mo Hanchen asked. He raised his tone at the end, and one couldn¡¯t help but imagine his expression at the moment. Even though Mo Hanchen was not before him, he had already started to bow to the space in front of him. ¡°Mr. Mo, I¡¯ll definitely deliver the person you like to you. I hope Mr. Mo can let the Xiang Group off this time. Once again, I¡¯ll be extremely grateful!¡± Chapter 20 Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio Mo Hanchen raised an eyebrow. The person he likes? Did he mean that he would send Meng Yue to him? Mo Hanchen crossed an arm over his chest, rose from the table, and walked to the window. ¡°Forgive this junior¡¯s ignorance, but I still don¡¯t understand Elder Xiang¡¯s meaning!¡± Xiang Shen took a deep breath, ¡°Then I¡¯ll be direct! ¡°Previously, this dog Haoyu didn¡¯t understand the seriousness of the matter and drugged you. I¡¯d like to apologize to you. I¡¯ve heard that Mr. Mo likes Meng Yue very much. I¡¯m presenting Meng Yue to you now. I hope you like it so that you can spare Xiang Haoyu and let the Xiang Group off!¡± When Mo Hanchen heard ¡®I¡¯m presenting Meng Yue to you now¡¯, he felt as if he had just come out of an ice cellar. At this moment, Mo Yu, who was entertaining with Mo Hanchen, suddenly noticed the change in his boss¡¯s aura! As he sipped his wine and entertained the people around him, he thought to himself, ¡°Which scoundrel had dared anger their boss? There would probably be a good show to watch later!¡± Xiang Shen said a lot after that, but Mo Hanchen was no longer interested in listening! He only had Meng Yue¡¯s face on his mind! ¡°Does she know about your plan?¡± his cold voice came slowly after Xiang Shen finished speaking. Xiang Shen replied quickly, ¡°It doesn¡¯t matter if she knows or not!¡± Mo Hanchen chuckled. ¡°Really? Your son¡¯s opinion doesn¡¯t matter anymore?¡± Xiang Shen nodded, ¡°It¡¯s not important! ¡°The most important thing is that Mr. Mo is happy!¡± Just as Mo Hanchen was about to say something, someone knocked on the door of his room. Zhou Liang walked towards Mo Hanchen respectfully and placed a room card in his hand. Xiang Shen said, ¡°I believe President Mo has already received it! ¡°Also, to liven things up for President Mo, I just gave Meng Yue something to drink¡­¡± Mo Hanchen tightened his grip on the room card and laughed. ¡°Elder Xiang is so considerate! ¡°You¡¯re much better at playing than your son!¡± Xiang Shen¡¯s face reddened once more! Mo Hanchen¡¯s words were full of sarcasm; even a fool could hear it. ¡°As long as Mr. Mo has fun!¡± Mo Hanchen chortled. ¡°Thank you in advance, Elder Xiang!¡± With that, he hung up the phone. An expression of murderous intent was written all over his face. Seeing his master walking out, Mo Yu immediately knew that things weren¡¯t as simple as they had seemed. After greeting the crowd, he followed him out of the private room. ¡°Master! Did something happen?¡± Mo Hanchen¡¯s eyes darkened. ¡°Xiang Shen sent Meng Yue to my bed!¡± Looking at the room card in his hand, Mo Hanchen tried to suppress his rage, but was unable to suppress the surge of emotions in his heart. Mo Yu pursed his lips, a mischievous smile flashing across his eyes. ¡°This¡­ ¡± When he saw the room card in his boss¡¯s hand, he could roughly guess what was going on! This Xiang family! They were really peculiar! ¡°Someone must be making trouble. Moreover, this Xiang Shen is a cunning old man who is much more difficult to deal with than his son!¡± Looking at his boss¡¯s stormy expression, Mo Ye couldn¡¯t help but laugh. ¡°Thank you for your hard work, Master. This is such a good opportunity, but I can¡¯t take it!¡± Mo Hanchen pinched the room card and glowered at him. ¡°Shut up!¡± Mo Yu couldn¡¯t help but laugh evilly. ¡°It¡¯s rare to see Master being deflated. This moment is worth celebrating! ¡°However, the Xiang family is also completely pushing themselves into a corner!¡± Mo Hanchen walked towards the elevator. ¡°I¡¯ll leave the other matters to you!¡± ¡°Don¡¯t worry, Master!¡± Mo Yu replied respectfully. He even consoled him, ¡°I really hope this is the last time! ¡°Otherwise¡­ I¡¯m really worried that your body will be suffocated!¡± ¡°Get lost!¡± Mo Hanchen said. ¡°Find out what Xiang Haoyu is doing.¡± ¡°Yes!¡± Mo Yu replied. Then, Mo Yu started to make a call. ¡°What an unlucky thing! ¡°His own father sent his wife to another man¡¯s bed. I wonder whose arms he¡¯s in right now¡­¡± Meng Yue was thrown onto the bed by the bodyguards. She grabbed the lamp on the bedside table and swung it at them in anger! ¡°Get lost!¡± Zhou Liang narrowly dodged Meng Yue¡¯s attack! ¡°Ms. Meng, please serve Mr. Mo well and save the Xiang Group. Both Young Master and Old Master will be grateful to you!¡± he warned with a vicious look. Meng Liang couldn¡¯t even open her eyes from the heat. She could only rely on her senses to swing at the black shadow in front of her. ¡°Get lost! All of you! ¡°None of you from the Xiang family are good people!¡± The table lamp broke. Just then, Zhou Liang¡¯s phone rang. He left with his bodyguards. Meng Yue heaved a sigh of relief when she heard the door close. She tore off the thin coat on her body in discomfort and stumbled out of bed. She lost her balance and fell to the ground. Unfortunately, she fell on the broken table lamp. ¡°Oh¡­¡± She gasped in pain. Her back, arms, and thighs were all pierced by the broken fragments, bleeding and staining her white t-shirt and light green dress red. At that moment, she temporarily regained her alertness due to the pain. Enduring the pain, she pulled out the shard in her palm and held it in her hand. Then, she walked towards the bathroom. However, she fell on the carpet after taking a few steps. She crawled forward with difficulty. What had originally been a distance of seven or eight meters felt like thousands of kilometers. She had already been dizzy and uncomfortable, and now felt like she was floating in the clouds because of the fall. Sweat quickly soaked through the bloodstains from before, causing her clothes to become mottled. ¡°S***bag! ¡°Xiang Shen, why are you doing this to me¡­¡± It took her a lot of effort to climb into the bathroom. When the cold water poured down on her, she shivered once more. The icy water collided with the burning pain; Meng Yue¡¯s vision turned black. When she opened her eyes again, she momentarily regained her presence of mind once more. She clutched the broken lamp in her hand, her whole body trembling. The cold water washed away the blood and wounds on her clothes, and the blood-red water flowed down¡­ She almost fainted from the pain. She turned the cold water to the maximum and curled up in the corner. There must be a conspiracy behind Xiang Shen¡¯s act of avoiding Xiang Haoyu. He could not have set up his own son, so he must have set Mo Hanchen up. If he used the same method to set Mo Hanchen up and something really happened between her and Mo Hanchen today, the entire Jongvale would be in an uproar! Not only would the Meng family be finished, Mo Hanchen would be finished as well! Gradually, her consciousness started to blur once again. ¡°Mo Hanchen¡­ ¡°Don¡¯t come! ¡°I beg you!¡± The man she was calling out to had already arrived at the door. Mo Hanchen¡¯s grip on the doorknob tightened. However, he only halted for a second before swiping the card and entering the room. He heaved a sigh of relief when he did not see Meng Yue. He scanned the room and saw that there were at least four surveillance cameras in the living room. He exuded a cold aura as he sent out a message. Then, he walked straight to the bedroom. He didn¡¯t see anyone, but when he saw the broken lamp beside the bed, his expression froze. He panicked when he saw the blood on the fragment. The faint sound of running water came from the direction of the bathroom. He strode over. He held the door handle, but couldn¡¯t turn it! It had been locked from the inside! Hearing the sound of running water, he banged on the door in a panic. ¡°Meng Yue, are you alright? ¡°Open the door! ¡°I am Mo Hanchen! ¡°Open the door!¡± Meng Yue lifted her head when she heard the knock on the door. Her dark almond-shaped eyes were now misty. The cold water kept washing away at her consciousness, but it no longer had any effect. At this moment, she had clearly fallen into a battle of wits again. The broken table lamp in her hand had already pierced her palm, and blood was flowing out, but she didn¡¯t feel the pain at all. Looking at the turning door handle, she weakly shouted, ¡°Mo Hanchen, don¡¯t come in! ¡°Don¡¯t¡­¡± However, her voice was drowned out by the sound of the water and Mo Hanchen could not hear her at all! ¡°Meng Yue, I¡¯m going to kick the door down! ¡°Don¡¯t be afraid! ¡°I¡¯m not looking at anything!¡± Hearing the sound of the door being kicked open, Meng Yue hugged herself even more anxiously. She buried her head in her knees and trembled in fear. ¡°Don¡¯t come in! ¡°Mo Hanchen¡­¡± After four consecutive kicks, he kicked open the door. The door hit the sink with a loud bang, and Meng Yue flinched. She looked up and saw his figure appear by the door. ¡°Mo Hanchen¡­¡± Chapter 21 Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio Mo Hanchen¡¯s heart ached as he looked at the drenched woman who was curled up in the corner. ¡°Listen to me! ¡°Don¡¯t be afraid! ¡°I¡¯m coming!¡± Meng Yu shook her head and kept murmuring ¡®no¡¯, ¡®don¡¯t¡¯, ¡®you can¡¯t¡¯. Mo Hanchen wanted to destroy the father and son pair from the Xiang family. When he saw the wounds on Meng Yue¡¯s body that had turned white from the cold water, he wanted to destroy himself! He hated himself for not coming over earlier. The entire bathroom was subsequently filled with the man¡¯s comforting voice. Under the sound of the water flowing, it was gentle and loving. ¡°Don¡¯t be afraid, don¡¯t be afraid¡­ ¡°It doesn¡¯t hurt anymore, it¡¯s not uncomfortable anymore, you¡¯re fine¡­¡± Outside the door, Xiang Shen held the room card and was anxiously looking at his wrist, checking the time. ¡°Can the surveillance cameras inside capture anything?¡± Zhou Liang was repeatedly trying to connect to the surveillance videos. ¡°It was fine earlier. Why can¡¯t it connect all of a sudden? ¡°Old Master, don¡¯t worry. I¡¯ll try again!¡± As he spoke, he logged out and logged in again. Looking at the flashing circle that showed that he was connecting, his hand trembled with nervousness. His palms were covered in cold sweat. Xiang Shen paced back and forth cagily. ¡°How is it?¡± Zhou Liang looked at the words ¡®connection failed¡¯, frustrated! ¡°These vile beasts!¡± ¡°Old Master, the surveillance cameras inside the room may have been tampered with!¡± Xiang Shen¡¯s face darkened. ¡°Let¡¯s go in and take a look!¡± He pushed the door open, scanned the room, and walked straight to the master bedroom! His eyes gleamed when he saw the bathroom door that had been kicked open. They lit up when he heard the sound of running water and Meng Liang¡¯s suppressed screams of pain. ¡°Old Zhou, go in and record a video!¡± Zhou Liang immediately responded. He jogged all the way in and began to record in the bathroom. At this moment, Mo Hanchen appeared on the screen. The man was half-naked and was seated in the bathtub with his back facing them. His back was muscular and he seemed to be suppressing something! Meng Yue couldn¡¯t be seen on camera, but her soft cries could be heard. She kept saying ¡®no¡¯ and Mo Hanchen¡¯s name. Xiang Shen saw that the situation was clear, and immediately called for Zhou Liang to leave. ¡°Let¡¯s go!¡± Zhou Liang saved the video and immediately followed Xiang Shen out! As they jogged into the elevator, Mo Yu exited the other elevator with a bag. In contrast to Xiang Shen¡¯s panic, he strolled towards the suite. When he entered the suite, Mo Hanchen had already come out of the bathroom bare-chested, carrying the unconscious Meng Yue in his arms. Mo Yu immediately turned around and looked straight at the door. He stepped backwards and placed the clean bag by the bed. Mo Hanchen threw his wet clothes aside and quickly ran to the closet to get a bathrobe. When he was helping her put on the bathrobe, he looked at the wounds on her back, arms, thighs, and palms, his eyes filled with viciousness. ¡°Is the doctor here?¡± ¡°The doctor is already here, and will be up in three minutes at most!¡± Mo Hanchen pursed his lips. ¡°Go out!¡± ¡°Yes!¡± Mo Yu replied. ¡°Oh right, Master, Xiang Haoyu is also here! ¡°And right next to you!¡± Mo Hanchen was speechless. Mo Yu said, ¡°With Chen Qing. She¡¯s the woman who gave you a toast the previous time!¡± Mo Hanchen laughed coldly. ¡°We are really fated!¡± Then, the doctor came! Mo Hanchen heaved a sigh of relief when he saw that the doctor was female. Of course, if it had been a male doctor, Mo Yu would have met with a storm of punches that night! Because Mo Hanchen was already furious due to Meng Yue¡¯s injury and had no place to vent his anger. When the doctor was applying medicine for Meng Yue, Mo Hanchen had already changed his clothes and was with Mo Yu in the living room. ¡°What¡¯s the situation outside?¡± Mo Yu handed his phone to Mo Hanchen. ¡°I¡¯ve received the e-mail about the Xiang Group¡¯s project experience!¡± Mo Hanchen read the e-mail contents and a look of disdain flashed in his eyes. ¡°To think they¡¯re doing all these sneaky things!¡± Mo Yu kept his phone. ¡°The news will probably be out soon!¡± Mo Hanchen took his phone and sent him a video. ¡°Don¡¯t let them live!¡± ¡°Yes!¡± Mo Yu responded. Then, he left the suite. He had promised, but whether he could do it was another matter! When Mo Hanchen entered the room, the female doctor was treating the last wound. It was a wound on Meng Yue¡¯s shoulder. ¡°Sir, you¡¯re just in time. Help me hold your girlfriend down!¡± Mo Hanchen was stunned. Girlfriend? It would be great if she was his girlfriend! He wouldn¡¯t have let her suffer so much pain earlier! His face finally revealed some gentleness. It was the only nice expression he had had in the past three hours. ¡°This wound is deeper. I¡¯m afraid she might wake from the pain!¡± The female doctor explained as she prepared the disinfectant. Mo Hanchen immediately stepped forward and leaned against the head of the bed. He picked up the unconscious woman from the bed and pulled her into his arms, showing her injured shoulder to the female doctor. Even though the doctor¡¯s hand was very gentle, Meng Yue still trembled from the pain and tried to hide in Mo Hanchen¡¯s arms. She sobbed like a child. ¡°It hurts¡­¡± ¡°You¡¯re all bad people!¡± ¡°Mo Hanchen, you¡¯re a cad¡­¡± Mo Hanchen¡¯s heart trembled as she cried. He hugged her tightly and wanted to pull her into his arms. Meng Yue was still crying even after the female doctor had finished treating all the wounds and left. In the bathtub earlier, she had lost control and thrown herself at him. His heart ached and he helplessly held her down to wash her with cold water, not letting her thrash about. He had lost his balance and she, who could not swim, choked on a few mouthfuls of water. She probably wouldn¡¯t dare to go near water again! Meng Yue cried pitifully, and his heart softened. He kept coaxing her gently, kissing her forehead and comforting her. ¡°Good girl, our Meng Yue is the best! ¡°I won¡¯t let you choke again! ¡°Alright, let¡¯s sleep a little longer. It won¡¯t hurt when you wake up!¡± After that, the crying Meng Yue fell asleep again. It was also at this moment that Mo Hanchen finally let go of her. It was only then that he picked up his ringing phone and answered Mo Yu¡¯s call. ¡°Speak!¡± ¡°Master, the Xiang family has already made their move half an hour ago!¡± He leaned against the window and tenderly looked at the woman on the bed. ¡°What¡¯s the situation now?¡± ¡°They¡¯ve purchased Jongvale¡¯s front-page headlines and a large space in the economic section to report about you and Ms. Meng. They¡¯ve also paid internet trolls to pull up reviews. So far, I¡¯ve already received calls from five shareholders to confirm the authenticity of the matter. ¡°Now the rumors are saying that you slept with a married woman and are shamelessly hiding from the public eye!¡± Mo Hanchen chuckled. ¡°They can say whatever they want!¡± Mo Yu panicked. ¡°Master, you musn¡¯t do that! ¡°By the way, Master, really, Ms. Meng has always been here, and will always be. You really don¡¯t have to race against time like this!¡± Mo Hanchen laughed coldly. ¡°Anything else?¡± Mo Yu finally let out a sigh. ¡°Master, I¡¯ll be honest. I really can¡¯t take it anymore! If you don¡¯t come back soon, I might be torn apart by the shareholders!¡± Mo Hanchen snorted. ¡°Why didn¡¯t you just admit earlier that you¡¯re useless?¡± Mo Yu begged helplessly, ¡°Yes, I¡¯m useless!¡± ¡°I knew you were useless!¡± Mo Hanchen retorted. Mo Yu¡¯s face reddened in anger. ¡°Master, I beg you to have a heart!¡± It¡¯s a mess outside. The stock market is unstable and the shareholders are about to rebel. Yet, you¡¯re still thinking about Ms. Meng. Do you want the entire corporation and company to call Ms. Meng a demon and the root of our problems?¡± ¡°Did you say that?¡± Mo Hanchen asked. Mo Yu¡¯s heart trembled! In the end, I was the one who bore with all the notoriety. ¡°Is there any movement from the old residence?¡± Mo Yu replied, ¡°I didn¡¯t even dare pick up the calls from the old residence. I think the old master is not far from the hospital! ¡°Oh, the head of the Meng family and his wife are waiting for you in the guest room downstairs!¡± Hearing this, Mo Hanchen¡¯s eyes flashed. ¡°Just you wait!¡± He hung up the phone. He walked over to the bed and gently kissed Meng Yue¡¯s forehead. Then, he pulled a note from the side and scribbled a few big words on it: ¡°Wait for my return!¡± ¡°If you dare run, I¡¯ll break your legs!¡± Mo Hanchen left after that! Chapter 22 Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio When Mo Hanchen arrived at the Moyun Group, there was already a huge crowd waiting for him outside the reception hall. ¡°President Mo,¡± reporter 1 said, ¡°May I know if the content of the news is true?¡± Reporter 2 asked, ¡°May I know where Ms. Meng is now? Were the two of you together just now?¡± Mo Hanchen looked at the crowd. ¡°I¡¯m sorry to have used up public resources because of this small matter! The questions that everyone is concerned about will be explained at the press conference in half an hour. Please move to the reception hall. Someone will make the arrangements in a while.¡± ¡°Mr. Mo,¡± reporter 3 said, ¡°May I ask if you¡¯re going to execute an emergency deployment or are you making a last-ditch attempt to remedy the situation?¡± Mo Hanchen looked at the person who asked the question. ¡°What do you think? ¡°If you¡¯re in such a hurry, you can just go to the Xiang Group and wait for the celebration! ¡°Or do I need to explain to you that I just want to go in to have a drink of water and use the washroom?¡± Reporter no. 3 was a woman. She lowered her head in embarrassment and wished she could dig a hole in the ground to bury herself in! D*** it! It really wasn¡¯t easy to earn this red packet from the Xiang Group! Mo Hanchen did not return to his office, but went straight to the guest room. He still had to show respect to his future in-laws! When Mo Hanchen pushed open the glass door of the guest room, the two people inside looked at him simultaneously. He bowed and apologized. ¡°Elder Meng, Mrs. Meng! ¡°I¡¯m very sorry for what happened!¡± At this moment, Meng Zhengde looked at Mo Hanchen with admiration. This outstanding young entrepreneur with his own aura made him, who was over 50 years old, feel inferior. However, his daughter had been bullied, and in such a way that she had made Jongvale¡¯s headlines. When he thought of the Xiang family¡¯s warning and threat, he couldn¡¯t feel at ease. ¡°We don¡¯t want your apology, we want an explanation! ¡°I¡¯m sure you know that Meng Yue is Xiang Haoyu¡¯s wife now. How do you plan to clean up the mess that you¡¯ve created?¡± Li Yun, on the other hand, was wiping her tears. She had always felt guilty towards this daughter of hers. Now that such a thing had happened, she could only feel heartache! But up until now, she didn¡¯t even dare to make a phone call! Mo Hanchen stood before them. ¡°I will give you a satisfactory explanation!¡± ¡°But, Meng Yue¡­ ¡°Have you ever cared about Meng Yue¡¯s life?¡± He looked at them and said, ¡°What I mean is, have you ever cared about her marriage with Xiang Haoyu?¡± Meng Zhengde and Li Yun were stunned. Li Yun looked at Mo Hanchen. ¡°What do you mean? Don¡¯t tell me that you and Meng Yue¡­¡± ¡°It seems like the two of you don¡¯t know!¡± Mo Hanchen said. ¡°After this incident, I had someone investigate Ms. Meng¡¯s background. I feel that it¡¯s quite sad for her to be born into a family like yours!¡± Yes! He was feeling indignant for Meng Yue. His heart ached for that woman who had been used by the Xiang family in every way! Meng Zhengde¡¯s face was ashen, while Li Yun¡¯s face was filled with pain. ¡°I won¡¯t say anything else. I¡¯ve met Ms. Meng twice, so I think we¡¯re fated to meet. As for how far we can go in the end, I¡¯m looking forward to it!¡± ¡°What do you mean?¡± Meng Zhengde asked. Li Yun said, ¡°Did you and Meng Yue really¡­¡± At this moment, Mo Hanchen¡¯s phone rang. When he saw the caller ID, a dark look flashed across his eyes and his entire body exuded an aura of impending doom. He cut off the call and looked at the couple. ¡°It¡¯s almost time. Please come to the meeting room downstairs! ¡°I¡¯ll explain today¡¯s incident at the press conference later!¡± Mo Hanchen looked at Mo Yu. ¡°Bring them to the meeting room downstairs!¡± ¡°Yes!¡± Mo Yu replied respectfully. At this moment, Mo Hanchen¡¯s phone rang again. ¡°Dad!¡± Mo Changchun roared at him with an uncontrollable voice. ¡°What the h*** are you doing? Are all the women in the world dead? Do you really have to have an ambiguous relationship with a married woman?¡± Mo Hanchen looked at the time on his wrist with a dark expression. ¡°It¡¯s has nothing to do with you!¡± Mo Changchun replied, ¡°Nothing to do with me? You¡¯re my child, my blood runs in your veins, and you have my surname. You¡¯ll have an unclear relationship with me for the rest of your life! ¡°Also, don¡¯t let those shareholders call me, unless you want my blood vessels to burst!¡± Mo Hanchen laughed coldly. ¡°It¡¯s good if you die. You can go down and accompany my mother!¡± Mo Changchun bellowed, ¡°You unfilial son!¡± ¡°My mom was driven to her death by you, so it¡¯s just right for me to drive you to your death!¡± After that, he hung up the phone. At this moment, Mo Yu had arrived. It was time for the press conference. ¡°How¡¯s the situation at the Xiang Group?¡± Mo Yu said, ¡°Their press conference has already started. The media will be broadcasting it live.¡± Mo Hanchen nodded. ¡°Then let them die a more violent death!¡± The press conference was held in the immense conference room on the first floor of the Moyun Group. When Mo Hanchen went up, the entire room became restless. Mo Hanchen did not ask for a host and directly went onto the stage. ¡°Are there any media outlets present that are connected with the Xiang Group¡¯s press conference?¡± A female reporter raised her hand, ¡°President Mo, we¡¯re over here!¡± Mo Hanchen nodded with a serious expression. ¡°Connect it, I¡¯ll answer the Xiang Group¡¯s doubts on the spot! I will also explain what happened this afternoon!¡± Mo Yu immediately walked over to the female reporter and connected the projector in her hand to the huge projection screen in Moyun. The female reporter excitedly called her colleague. On the screen, Xiang Shen was talking about Moyun Group¡¯s current CEO, Mo Hanchen¡¯s unkind and unjust means, including Moyun¡¯s attack on the Xiang Group, the termination of collaboration and the follow-up projects. Of course, the key point was that Mo Hanchen had slept with the wife of Xiang Haoyu, the head of the Xiang Group. Mo Hanchen looked at the female reporter. ¡°I¡¯ll now answer Elder Xiang¡¯s questions one by one!¡± He looked at the crowd. ¡°The first thing is that the Moyun Group¡¯s attack on the Xiang Group is non-existent. Moyun has been through six years of ups and downs. We¡¯d rather breach the contract than work with a company that only knows how to use underhanded means to gain benefits!¡± At this time, a surveillance video appeared on the projection screen across the conference room. The video was about the day Xiang Haoyu had asked Chen Qing to drug Mo Hanchen at the Supreme Club! There was also a video of Mo Hanchen stumbling into the washroom after being drugged. Mo Hanchen looked at the crowd. ¡°I reserve the right to tell Mr. Xiang Haoyu about this!¡± The reporters below the stage went crazy! This was obviously a game of a thief crying thief! Mo Hanchen continued, ¡°I¡¯m not a good judge of character, but I do know what it means to stop losses in time. ¡°Here, Moyun would like to extend an invitation for collaborations with all enterprises with integrity!¡± As he said this, he looked at the female reporter. ¡°Later on, help me connect my assistant¡¯s number. Anyone who has any thoughts of working together can contact him! ¡°Come, give him a close-up! ¡°My assistant is very handsome!¡± The smile on Mo Yu¡¯s face was as stiff as a rock. Boss! Have a heart! If your assistant dies of exhaustion, you¡¯re going to have to work overtime every day! You¡¯re still thinking of sleeping with Meng Yue? In your dreams! It was peaceful here, but the Xiang Group was in an uproar! When Xiang Shen saw Xiang Haoyu and the woman called Chen Qing teasing each other, he almost fainted from anger. The reporters started to discuss it among themselves. ¡°This President Xiang clearly has a wife, but he¡¯s flirting with another woman so intimately. It¡¯s obvious that Ms. Meng is the one who¡¯s being wronged!¡± ¡°Oh right, I remember now. Do you still remember the time when the Supreme Club was sealed? We waited outside the club for two days and two nights, but we didn¡¯t get any news. It seems that the closing of the club must have something to do with this!¡± ¡°What¡¯s the relationship between President Mo and Supreme Club? Could it be¡­¡± Chapter 23 Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio At this time, the reporter connected to the Moyun Group asked her first question, ¡°Elder Xiang, regarding this matter, is Mr. Xiang Haoyu not going to make a statement and apologize?¡± ¡°That¡¯s right, that¡¯s right. Compared to Mr. Mo Hanchen¡¯s openness and forthrightness, shouldn¡¯t the Xiang Group also show some sincerity?¡± Xiang Shen was furious! He looked at Xiang Haoyu¡¯s assistant, Guo Rui. ¡°Where¡¯s that b******?¡± Guo Rui was as silent as a mouse. ¡°I can¡¯t contact him at the moment!¡± Xiang Shen¡¯s face turned red, ¡°Go and find out who¡¯s that Chen Qing woman!¡± Guo Rui responded and left! At this moment, a new interview and video was broadcast from the Moyun Group. This time, Xiang Shen was so incensed that he patted his chest and couldn¡¯t breathe. ¡°President Mo, do you have any thoughts on the video that the Xiang Group previously released?¡± Mo Hanchen looked at the crowd, and his gaze finally rested on Mr. and Mrs. Meng. ¡°Next up is the second issue I want to clarify today. Today, there is nothing between Ms. Meng and me!¡± Mo Yu rubbed his nose. Bah! There really isn¡¯t anything! Cough! Cough! Cough! The main point! Today! Only today is there nothing! He then played the next video. In the video, Mo Hanchen was pressing Meng Yue into the bathtub with cold water. In the video, Meng Yue was struggling, crying and screaming that she was in pain. She also coughed and trembled after being pushed so hard that she choked on the water. She bit and clawed at Mo Hanchen, causing his back to be covered in wounds. Some of the injuries on Meng Yue¡¯s shoulders and arms were still bleeding. The bloody bathtub was a terrifying sight. Mo Hanchen¡¯s face was somber the entire time, his methods cruel and decisive. Even when Meng Yue scratched at him, he did not let her grab him. The entire video was describing their innocence! Meng Yue¡¯s pitiful and helpless look made many of the women¡¯s eyes redden. The video finally stopped at the scene of Meng Yue passing out. It was a slap in the face! And the slap was so ruthless! There wasn¡¯t even any room for maneuver! The video of Mo Hanchen molesting Meng Yue released by the Xiang Group happened to be from another perspective of this video. From different perspectives, the situation was completely different. The crowd was in a frenzy once more! The reporters on both sides were quick to do live reports. The course of events was already very clear! The Xiang Group¡¯s false accusations against Mo Hanchen had been roundly debunked! Mo Yu came over to report on the company¡¯s stock trading. He grinned so widely that his smile almost reached his ears. Mo Hanchen¡¯s handsome face appeared in the video. Xiang Shen¡¯s world had collapsed! All of his schemes and plots had gone to waste. Furthermore, the Xiang Group¡¯s reputation and future have become even darker. Zhou Liang stroked Xiang Shen¡¯s chest. ¡°Old Master, don¡¯t be angry, don¡¯t lose your temper; your heart can¡¯t take it!¡± The blood vessels on Xiang Shen¡¯s head were clearly visible. Looking at the extent of their expansion, they were in danger of exploding at any moment. Mo Hanchen¡¯s face appeared on the screen. ¡°Elder Xiang, do you need me to show the video of you sending Ms. Meng to my bed?¡± Xiang Shen immediately fainted! Even though many could see that Xiang Shen was merely pretending to faint! However, no one could wake up a person who was pretending to be unconscious! Besides, pretending to be unconscious was the best choice at this point! Otherwise, he wouldn¡¯t have been able to shut the mouths of all the reporters present! The Xiang Group¡¯s meeting had ended hastily because of old president Xiang¡¯s passing out, but the Moyun Group was much more relaxed! Mr. and Mrs. Meng left. Meng Zhengde¡¯s face darkened, while Li Yun kept wiping her tears away. Li Yun leaned on Meng Zhengde¡¯s shoulder and cried. ¡°Zhengde, Yue¡¯er must hate us to the core! ¡°Previously, when Xiang Haoyu came to the Meng family, there must have been something wrong with their relationship!¡± Meng Zhengde slammed the table in anger. ¡°Xiang Shen, this animal! ¡°Let¡¯s go. The Xiang family must give us an explanation for this matter!¡± Mo Hanchen gave Mo Yu a look, asking him to send someone to follow the couple. Mo Yu immediately went to make arrangements! ¡°Is President Mo single?¡± female reporter 5 asked. Mo Hanchen pursed his lips. He could have chosen not to answer, what more in such a situation. However, he still replied, ¡°My heart is taken! ¡°So, don¡¯t think about me, everyone! ¡°If I¡¯m in love and get married, I¡¯ll definitely tell the world!¡± This sentence caused a stir among those present! Of course, there was also envy, jealousy, and hatred mixed in! There were many single men in Jongvale, but Mo Hanchen was definitely the most dazzling star. Female reporter 6 asked, ¡°President Mo, can you reveal a little? What kind of woman is she?¡± There was mayhem. Mo Hanchen¡¯s eyes darkened. Just when everyone thought that Mo Hanchen would not say anything more, he spoke again. He even jokingly said, ¡°You guys are too much!¡± In the midst of everyone¡¯s laughter, Mo Hanchen said once more, ¡°You¡¯re sure it¡¯s a woman? Why can¡¯t it be a man?¡± Mo Yu heard this on his return. S***! His boss was insane! At this moment, the reporters below were getting irascible. They were forming strings of vulgarities! ¡°Yeah, right!¡± ¡°S***!¡± ¡°What in heaven¡¯s name?¡± ¡°What did I just hear?¡± ¡°Is it the kind I¡¯m thinking of?¡± ¡°Quick, give me a hand. I think I can still take this blow!¡± ¡°Guys, everyone has a chance!¡± ¡°Are you trying to force me to get a divorce?¡± Mo Hanchen left just as the crowd was in the middle of a heated discussion! Mo Yu patted his head. ¡°Master, you can¡¯t play like this!¡± Mo Hanchen replied, ¡°Otherwise, you¡¯d have too much time on your hands!¡± Mo Yu cursed inwardly. Motherf*****! Had he been unlucky for eight generations or had he dug up the Mo family¡¯s ancestral grave? Mo Hanchen glanced at him. ¡°Don¡¯t keep it to yourself. If you have the guts, then say it out loud!¡± Mo Yu instantly smiled. ¡°How can I accept this?¡± Unless he wanted to stay in this office every night. ¡°Xiang Haoyu still hasn¡¯t woken up?¡± Mo Yu rubbed his nose. ¡°Not yet. Perhaps the drugs were too strong!¡± Mo Hanchen¡¯s face was full of disgust. ¡°What good can you do? If he doesn¡¯t wake up, I¡¯ll use you to compensate the Xiang Group?¡± Mo Yu immediately waved his hand. ¡°Don¡¯t! ¡°It could be that President Xiang had too much fun with that Chen Qing or something last night that he hasn¡¯t woken yet!¡± At this moment, Mo Yu froze. ¡°Oh right, Master, I seem to have forgotten to report something to you!¡± Mo Hanchen gave him a sidelong glance. ¡°If you have something to say, then say it!¡± ¡°When I was checking the surveillance earlier, I happened to see Xiang Haoyu and Chen Qing¡¯s passion!¡± Mo Yu said. ¡°Well¡­ Actually, Xiang Haoyu mistook Chen Qing for Ms. Meng. He kept calling her by her name!¡± Mo Hanchen¡¯s face darkened instantly. He kicked Mo Yu¡¯s abdomen. ¡°Shut up, you!¡± Mo Yu endured the pain and sucked in a deep breath. He wished he could give himself a tight slap! Who asked you to have a cheap mouth! ¡°I just wanted to remind you that Xiang Haoyu might really have fallen for Ms. Meng!¡± Mo Hanchen glared at him. ¡°As if I need you to remind me!¡± Mo Yu rubbed his stomach and followed. Fine! It seemed he could do nothing right! The pair arrived at the president¡¯s office. Mo Hanchen picked up the documents on the table and started to read through them. ¡°I only have half an hour. I need to get the documents to be signed first!¡± ¡°You¡¯re going to the club?¡± Mo Yu asked. ¡°What do you think?¡± Mo Hanchen asked. Mo Yu cried out inwardly! He didn¡¯t want to say anything! He just didn¡¯t want to work overtime! Mo Hanchen glowered at him. ¡°You¡¯re getting more and more powerful. Do I still need to report my whereabouts to you?¡± Mo Yu immediately lowered his head and admitted his mistake. ¡°I wouldn¡¯t dare! ¡°If there are any important documents for you to make a decision on, I¡¯ll send them directly to the club!¡± Mo Hanchen rolled his eyes at him. ¡°Try it! ¡°An annual salary of 50 million. Do you think this is a charity?¡± Mo Yu wanted to die on the spot! However, his body was full of vigor! How to break this? Chapter 24 Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio Mo Hanchen returned to the Supreme Club an hour later. When he got out of the elevator, he ran into Xiang Haoyu and Chen Qing, who were coming out of a suite. Mo Hanchen glanced at Chen Qing. ¡°President Xiang, what a coincidence!¡± As he said that, his eyes focused on Chen Qing¡¯s neck and collarbone. ¡°Quite passionate!¡± Xiang Haoyu¡¯s face had already been dark, and when he heard Mo Hanchen¡¯s words, even his ears started to burn. ¡°President Mo, you don¡¯t need to worry about me!¡± Then, he looked at Chen Qing. ¡°I¡¯m just playing!¡± Upon hearing this, Chen Qing¡¯s face instantly turned pale! Mo Hanchen sarcastically glanced at Chen Qing, then at Xiang Haoyu. ¡°You¡¯re just playing around. Does Ms. Meng know about this?¡± ¡°You¡­¡± Xiang Haoyu said. ¡°I¡¯m sure President Mo understands what to say and what not to say!¡± Mo Hanchen sneered. ¡°I don¡¯t understand!¡± Xiang Haoyu became anxious when he heard this. ¡°Mo Hanchen, I will not divorce Meng Yue. She is a married woman, don¡¯t get close to her!¡± Mo Hanchen glared at him coldly and walked forward. ¡°You don¡¯t have the final say!¡± Xiang Haoyu clenched his fists when he heard Mo Hanchen¡¯s provocative words. ¡°Mo Hanchen, you¡¯ve been getting on my nerves for a long time!¡± He waved his fist and was about to hit him. ¡°I¡¯m going to teach you a lesson today!¡± However, before his fist could even touch Mo Hanchen¡¯s clothes, Mo Hanchen caught it and pushed him aside. Xiang Haoyu was flung to the side like a piece of trash. He hit the wall and fell into a corner. Chen Qing immediately went forward to help him up. ¡°Haoyu, are you alright? ¡°Did you hit your head? Let¡¯s go to the hospital now!¡± Xiang Haoyu¡¯s face grew stormy and he angrily pushed Chen Qing away. ¡°Shut up! I don¡¯t want to see you now!¡± If not for her, he would not be in such a mess now! He was worried that Meng Yue would find out about him sleeping with Chen Qing. ¡°Mo Hanchen, I advise you to keep your mouth shut and stop talking nonsense in front of Meng Yue!¡± Mo Hanchen laughed disdainfully, straightened his clothes, and looked at Xiang Haoyu. ¡°How are you going to make me?¡± ¡°By using your cheating? ¡°Or are you so in love with Ms. Meng that you can¡¯t stop yourself? ¡°Or is the Xiang Group so powerful that they can use money to squash me so I can¡¯t speak?¡± As he spoke, he glanced at Chen Qing. ¡°Also, you¡¯ve slept with her for more than three years. Do you still care about this one time?¡± Chen Qing¡¯s eyes reddened and she was filled with grievances! They had been together for three years, and she thought that she would definitely become young mistress Xiang! She did not expect Xiang Haoyu to turn around and betray her by running to Meng Yue! If he turned back, what would she do? Besides, she really loved him! Xiang Haoyu¡¯s face turned red, but he could not utter a word. Mo Hanchen said, ¡°Xiang Haoyu, you must be a man at this time!¡± As he spoke, he walked to the door of a suite. ¡°President Xiang, if you have time, you should go and see your father! ¡°He¡¯s in the hospital now. I don¡¯t know if he¡¯s awake.¡± After that, Mo Hanchen disappeared from the suite. Xiang Haoyu, on the other hand, was full of questions. Did something happen to his father? He took out his phone and realized that he had turned it off. He subconsciously looked at Chen Qing. ¡°You turned it off?¡± Chen Qing panicked. ¡°You kept kissing and hugging me. You thought it was too noisy, so you told me to turn it off!¡± Xiang Haoyu¡¯s face darkened even more! After entering the elevator, he turned on his phone! The beeping of missed calls and messages immediately sounded. Looking at the many missed calls on the screen, negative thoughts flashed through his mind! He returned the call to the steward, Zhou Liang. ¡°Uncle Zhou!¡± Zhou Liang¡¯s anxious voice could be heard from the other end. ¡°Young Master, something terrible has happened at the company. Also, come to the hospital quickly, Old Master still hasn¡¯t woken up!¡± Xiang Haoyu almost lost his balance. He took three steps back and leaned against the elevator wall. Chen Qing was so frightened that she immediately went to help him up. ¡°Haoyu, be careful! ¡°Are you okay¡­.¡± Xiang Haoyu pushed her away. ¡°Get lost! ¡°I haven¡¯t settled the score with you yet, why are you here?¡± Chen Qing¡¯s eyes were filled with distress, and she didn¡¯t dare to step forward. After that, Xiang Haoyu called his assistant, Guo Rui. When he found out about the Xiang Group¡¯s situation, his father¡¯s underhanded methods against Meng Yue, and the negative news about the Xiang Group on the headlines, he really freaked out! This time, it wasn¡¯t just the Xiang Group that was finished! He and Meng Yue were finished! However, he clearly wanted to start over! Xiang Haoyu left, not even looking at Chen Qing, who was following him and getting ready to get into the car. Chen Qing¡¯s eyes turned red as she watched the car drive away, her nails digging into her palms. ¡°Xiang Haoyu, you can¡¯t treat me like this¡­¡± In the suite upstairs. Mo Hanchen was furious! Because Meng Yue had disappeared! The note he had left for her was still on the bedside table, untouched. Mo Hanchen pulled out the note and crumpled it into a ball. ¡°Little thing, you¡¯ve stirred up my heart. Do you think you can escape?¡± Mo Hanchen dialed her number, but no one answered. He called again, but still no one picked up! After five calls, Mo Hanchen finally lost his patience. ¡°Meng Yue, you really owe me!¡± At this moment, his eyes flashed as he thought of something. As he walked to the elevator, he dialed a number. ¡°What¡¯s Meng Yue¡¯s current position?¡± At that moment, Wang Ming, who was on the other end of the line, immediately began his report. ¡°Master, I was just about to inform you. Ms. Meng is in the hospital right now!¡± Mo Hanchen could no longer remain calm. ¡°Hospital? Where is she feeling unwell? ¡°Which hospital?¡± Mo Hanchen hung up the phone and ran to the hospital. On the other side, Xiang Haoyu did not even look at Chen Qing, who was behind him. He jumped into the car and drove away. At this moment, he knew better than anyone what was important and what was not! The first thing he did was to go to the Meng Group! When he arrived at Meng Zhengde¡¯s office, he knelt down in front of him without saying a word. ¡°Dad, I¡¯m sorry. I was wrong!¡± Meng Zhengde did not care about his kneeling posture. He went up and kicked Xiang Haoyu¡¯s chest. ¡°Xiang Haoyu, you¡¯re a b******!¡± Xiang Haoyu was kicked to the ground. He clutched his chest, his face pale. Meng Zhengde did not let him off and gave him another kick! ¡°You disgraceful thing!¡± Xiang Haoyu collapsed on the ground. ¡°I¡¯m sorry, Dad. I was wrong!¡± Meng Zhengde pointed at Xiang Haoyu¡¯s head and ranted, ¡°I was against your marriage. You were the ones who insisted on getting married. After you got married, you didn¡¯t live well together. Do you treat her parents as dead, for your Xiang family to bully her to this extent?¡± Meng Zhengde¡¯s two kicks were very heavy, and it took Xiang Haoyu a long time to suppress the pain in his heart. ¡°Dad, I¡¯m sorry. I know I was wrong! ¡°I¡¯ll definitely get Meng Yue¡¯s forgiveness. I¡¯ll live well with her!¡± Meng Zhengde was so livid that his face and neck turned red. ¡°We haven¡¯t been able to be together for three years. Now that something like this has happened, you want to live a good life? ¡°Our Meng family¡¯s daughter isn¡¯t that easy to bully! ¡°Get lost. I don¡¯t want to see you now!¡± Meng Zhengde said. ¡°From now on, Meng Yue will have nothing to do with the Xiang family!¡± Xiang Haoyu was still fighting to get his words out, but in the end, he was thrown out by the security guards! Chapter 25 Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio Bearing with the pain, Xiang Haoyu did not go to the hospital first. Instead, he went to the Xiang Group. Because he knew that if he went to the hospital now, even if Xiang Shen regained consciousness, he would probably pass out again from anger when he saw him! When he returned to the company, he immediately called for a meeting to deal with the public relations. He sent out an apology letter to Mo Hanchen and the Moyun Group. Using self-effacing words and a sincere attitude, he confessed to his bad behavior and deeply apologized for the negative impact his actions had had on the Moyun Group and the general public. After that, another draft was sent to all the major websites. He was confessing to Meng Yue! In the article, he began to repent for his indifference to her over the past three years. He apologized for his father¡¯s bad behavior that day and was full of expectations for his future with Meng Yue. He even mentioned that he planned to have a child by the end of the year. Mo Hanchen received a call from Mo Yu on his way to the hospital. ¡°Master, Xiang Haoyu has started his public relations!¡± Mo Hanchen frowned because he did not hear the worry in Mo Yu¡±s tone. Instead, he heard a teasing tone. ¡°Mo Yu, are you itching for a beating?¡± Mo Yu held back his smile. ¡°No, I¡¯m very busy! ¡°I¡¯m working overtime!¡± Mo Hanchen¡¯s face turned gloomy. ¡°I can make you suffer even more!¡± Mo Yu instantly sobered up, ¡°Touchy! ¡°Thank you for your hard work, boss! I wish for you to be able to have and hold a beautiful woman soon!¡± Without waiting for Mo Hanchen¡¯s reply, he disconnected the call for the first time. Not long after, Mo Hanchen received a link to the news about Xiang Haoyu from Mo Yu. Mo Hanchen laughed coldly as he looked at Xiang Haoyu¡¯s public relations conduct. He did not comment on it! Whether the public relations was good or not, it still depended on whether the public could accept it! See if everyone would buy his words! However, when he saw Xiang Haoyu¡¯s bold and confident declaration that he wanted to have a child with Meng Yue, his face turned surly. He even wanted to have children with her? Xiang Haoyu, you¡¯re really overthinking it! Her child could only have the surname Mo! Mo Hanchen arrived at the hospital forty minutes later. Wang Ming was waiting for him at the hospital entrance. ¡°Master!¡± Mo Hanchen walked in anxiously. ¡°Is she better?¡± Wang Ming respectfully reported, ¡°She fainted from excessive blood loss, and her wound is inflamed, causing a high fever. She¡¯s on an IV drip now!¡± When Mo Hanchen arrived at the infusion area, he saw Meng Yue sleeping with her head tilted to one side, the drip still in her hand. His heart ached when he saw her haggard and flushed face. ¡°Get a ward!¡± ¡°Yes!¡± Wang Ming responded and immediately went to handle the procedures. Five minutes later, Mo Hanchen came to the VIP Ward with Meng Yue in his arms. Wang Ming brought an infusion bag. Meng Yue drifted in and out of an uneasy sleep. Mo Hanchen took care of her the entire time and did not leave her side. Half an hour later, Meng Yue¡¯s fever finally subsided and she woke up. Looking at the unfamiliar ward and smelling the disinfectant, Meng Yue took some time to react. Her heart skipped a beat when she saw Mo Hanchen again. In the afternoon, she was awoken by the pain! When she sat up and saw the wounds on her body, all her memories came flooding back. Her face instantly turned red! She was even more flustered than the time she lost her virginity. Thus, all she could think of was to escape, and to run as far as she could. She didn¡¯t want to see him now, or rather, she was afraid to see him! Memories of what had happened made her feel uncomfortable all over ¡ª of her in the bathtub, pouncing on him and begging him to help her, of her crying that the pain was unbearable¡­ She had to admit that because the person in front of her was Mo Hanchen, she had let herself go a lot. Now that he was before her again when she opened her eyes, she felt inexplicably emotional. How could the Xiang family treat her like that? They actually used their daughter-in-law in exchange for benefits to the company! But this time, she had taken the initiative to beg him, but he had not even touched her! The feeling of being cherished filled her heart to the brim. Mo Hanchen looked at her troubled eyes and red face that was still warm from the high fever. He gently stroked her head. He smirked and looked at her teasingly. ¡°Don¡¯t let your thoughts run wild. I¡¯ve forgotten what happened in the bathtub!¡± Initially, he had wanted to liven up the atmosphere, but at this moment, only the two of them were in the ward. He was afraid that she would feel awkward if they stared at each other. However, at his reminder, Meng Yue felt even more embarrassed! She frowned. What happened in the bathtub? She cursed inwardly, ¡°Mo Hanchen, why can¡¯t you be nice instead of acting like an animal?¡± He had deliberately said this, obviously because he remembered it very clearly! Perhaps, when he had been consoling her, he was also recalling the shameless words she had said to him! Meng Yue pulled the blanket covering her and said in a hoarse voice, ¡°I don¡¯t want to hear you speak!¡± Mo Hanchen chuckled and brought the glass of water to her lips. ¡°Drink some water!¡± Meng Yue tilted her head, refusing his offer. Mo Hanchen laughed. ¡°Do as I say; you¡¯ll be the one with a sore throat later!¡± Meng Yue¡¯s head remained tilted. She didn¡¯t want to accept it before, but now she was too embarrassed to accept it. Mo Hanchen held her face. ¡°Come on!¡± Meng Yue¡¯s heart pounded as she looked at the man¡¯s gentle yet strong eyes. Who was he trying to coax? His daughter? While Meng Yue was still in a daze, Mo Hanchen had already brought the glass to her lips. ¡°If you don¡¯t drink it, I might change the way I feed you!¡± Meng Yue was at a loss for words. Who hadn¡¯t read novels before? Wasn¡¯t it doing it mouth-to-mouth! She knew it very well, alright? She glanced at him gloomily. ¡°Shameless!¡± Mo Hanchen¡¯s eyes lit up and he teased her. ¡°Did you guess the method I meant?¡± Meng Yue¡¯s face reddened and she kept silent. Mo Hanchen laughed. ¡°I meant that I¡¯ll find you a straw! ¡°What are you thinking?¡± Meng Yue started coughing. She had choked on her own saliva! After that, under Mo Hanchen¡¯s teasing gaze, she snatched the cup away! She held it and slowly drank from it! She was indeed thirsty! Mo Hanchen looked at her obedient face and smiled. ¡°Good!¡± Meng Yue choked again! Mo Hanchen pulled out a tissue and wiped the water from her lips. ¡°You can¡¯t take it anymore? ¡°I haven¡¯t even used new words like baby, sweetheart, ¡®mwah mwah¡¯, my dear!¡± His eyes shone with laughter, and Meng Yue¡¯s heart fluttered as she looked at him. She looked away! Unable to continue looking! They fell silent, and the atmosphere was surprisingly good. However, she still felt a lingering fear when she thought of what had happened yesterday! ¡°Thank you for yesterday!¡± Mo Hanchen replied, ¡°You don¡¯t need to thank me. I did it for myself!¡± Meng Yue looked at him without saying anything. ¡°Meng Yue, I don¡¯t need to remind you again and again, do I?¡± Mo Hanchen asked. Meng Yue was speechless. She did not dare to reply, for fear that Mo Hanchen would say something shocking from out of left field. However, even if she didn¡¯t want to hear it, he still said it! ¡°My target is you!¡± Meng Yue¡¯s heart fluttered again, and she lowered her eyes. In contrast to his overbearing and domineering attitude, she suddenly felt inferior. ¡°We¡¯re not suited for each other!¡± Mo Hanchen¡¯s eyes turned icy. ¡°What do you mean by not suited? ¡°Or should I have thrown caution to the wind and done everything I could have done to you yesterday?¡± Meng Yue looked at him, flabbergasted. Her heart softened when she saw him tensed up. This bad man! He was reminding her of how unbearable she had been yesterday. Meng Yue met his eyes. ¡°You know what I¡¯m talking about!¡± She had to remind him that they were not suited due to her current status. Mo Hanchen¡¯s tone was overbearing and left no room for negotiation. ¡°I don¡¯t!¡± They were in a deadlock once more. The atmosphere was strange and silent. If Mo Hanchen did not speak, Meng Yue would not speak either. She lowered her eyes and looked out of the window with the cup in her hands, as if what had happened earlier had no effect on her. Chapter 26 Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio Mo Hanchen saw her like this and suddenly became enraged. He snatched the cup from her and forced her to look into his eyes. ¡°Meng Yue, can you not be so fake?¡± Meng Yue frowned. ¡°Let go of me first. You¡¯re hurting me!¡± Thinking of the injuries on her body, he stared at her face. Meng Yue was flustered. ¡°Why are you looking at me like that?¡± With that, she began to uncomfortably rearrange the blanket. Seeing her panic, Mo Hanchen sat down by her bed and held her hand. ¡°Meng Yue, give me a response!¡± He forced her to look up. ¡°If you tell me to wait for you, I won¡¯t refuse, nor will I laugh at you! ¡°You know, I had thousands of ways to have you yesterday without anyone finding out! However, I chose to be patient and announce it to the public, which means I want to follow the normal process!¡± He lifted her chin slightly and looked straight into her eyes. ¡°Do you understand what I mean?¡± Meng Yue looked at him, stunned. ¡°Even if I get a divorce, it¡¯ll be my second marriage. You can choose a better woman, not someone like me!¡± Mo Hanchen replied, ¡°Meng Yue, I know that you don¡¯t really think that way!¡± Meng Liang¡¯s eyes narrowed, as if she had been seen through. She slapped away the hand on her chin. ¡°Then I¡¯ll have to say some ugly words! ¡°It¡¯s better than if we end up together and you use this matter to stab me in the back every day!¡± Mo Hanchen raised his hand to pinch her face, but Meng Yue pushed him away. He paused. ¡°Meng Yue! ¡°What do you mean by that?¡± Meng Yue didn¡¯t look at him. Instead, she looked out the darkened window. ¡°It¡¯s simple. I haven¡¯t agreed to date you yet!¡± It was not suitable at the moment! Moreover, it was not fair for him if he were to be with her while she was still married! ¡°Meng Yue, are you pushing me to use force on you?¡± ¡°What?¡± Meng Yue looked at him without saying a word. Mo Hanchen was even more furious when he saw her expression. He was so angry that he frowned and bit her lips hard. He did not let go of her even when he tasted blood in his mouth. ¡°What?¡± Meng Yue didn¡¯t let go even though she was in pain. Mo Hanchen was so irate that he bit her again, but this time, he let go after biting her. ¡°Meng Yue, you¡¯re driving me crazy!¡± He looked at her red eyes and turned away from her. ¡°Don¡¯t turn off your phone! ¡°I¡¯ll get someone to follow you. You¡¯re not allowed to shake him off! ¡°Also, you don¡¯t need to worry about the Xiang family. I¡¯ll settle the divorce!¡± Meng Yue didn¡¯t say anything to the first few sentences. Upon hearing his last statement, she responded, ¡°I want to settle the divorce myself!¡± Mo Hanchen turned around and glared at her. ¡°Meng Yue!¡± She replied, ¡°You can go back first! ¡°Let¡¯s calm down for now!¡± She then pulled the blanket over her and refused to talk. Mo Hanchen looked at her actions. Could he hold back? Of course he couldn¡¯t! He viciously pulled the blanket away. As Meng Yue screamed, he held her face and bit her lips again. It left a fresh wound on her already painful lips. Looking at her almond-shaped eyes that were brimming with tears, he spoke ruthlessly. ¡°Meng Yue, right now, the person I¡¯m most frustrated that I can¡¯t destroy is you!¡± With that, he left! He even slammed the door angrily. Meng Yue touched her painful lips. ¡°You dog! ¡°He¡¯s really f****** ruthless!¡± Outside the door, Wang Ming saw his master come out and sneakily went up to him. ¡°Master, where are we going?¡± ¡°Let¡¯s go back to the company!¡± Wang Ming rubbed his nose. ¡°As expected, brother Mo Yu guessed correctly!¡± Mo Hanchen scowled at him. ¡°What else did he say?¡± Wang Ming said, ¡°Brother Mo Yu also said that Ms. Meng would never agree to date you before the divorce!¡± Mo Hanchen snorted. ¡°He¡¯s so phenomenal, let him work overtime alone! ¡°Back to Royal View Court!¡± Wang Ming¡¯s face twitched! Fine! As expected, one couldn¡¯t afford to offend a lovelorn person! ¡°Get someone to follow Meng Yue. If there¡¯s anything unusual, report it immediately!¡± ¡°Yes!¡± The public relations for Xiang Haoyu did not seem to have a good effect! The public did not buy his words. Not only did his apology not attract any attention, but his confession of love for Meng Yue had also become a hot topic. Therefore, the Xiang Group had become famous, and Xiang Haoyu had become famous as well! He became famous for being s***! ¡°Such a s***bag. What a terrible world we live in!¡± ¡°A leopard can never change its spots!¡± ¡°What terrible luck to have met such a man and such a family!¡± ¡°So messed up. How can commoners like us judge it?¡± ¡°It goes without saying that they should get a divorce!¡± ¡°I feel repulsed to see such a dog!¡± ¡°Come, come, come. Let¡¯s look at this dog and lose weight!¡± Meng Yue watched the press conference held by the Xiang Group and the Moyun Group, as well as the hotly searched news. Originally, without their collaboration with Moyun, they would at most be injured! However, after the previous day¡¯s ruckus, in addition to the tax matter, it would be more difficult for the Xiang family to make a comeback. She did not feel happy that Xiang Haoyu was being scolded. Instead, she could not help but feel sad! After all, she was just a pawn of the Xiang family! It was so whether it was in the eyes of Xiang Haoyu or Xiang Shen! She rubbed her empty stomach. She was hungry! Just as she had taken out her phone and was about to order some food, there was a knock on the door. A nurse came in with a thermos. ¡°This is the porridge that Mr. Mo asked someone to send over!¡± Meng Liang thanked her and took it. She glanced at it and saw the Emperor¡¯s logo on the thermos. The Emperor was a private restaurant in Jongvale most famous for its medicinal cuisine. Meng Yue smiled and sent a message of thanks to a certain someone. Mo Hanchen had added her on WeChat before she had woken up. ¡°Thank you, thank you! I¡¯ve received the porridge!¡± The reply was a little slow, so Meng Yue didn¡¯t wait and started eating. About ten minutes later, she received a reply from a certain shameless someone. ¡°That is for the future Mrs. Mo!¡± Meng Yue looked at the message, then at the porridge. She didn¡¯t know whether or not to eat it. If she didn¡¯t eat, it would be a waste of the delicious porridge. ¡°I¡¯ve tried it on behalf of the future Mrs. Mo, it¡¯s not bad!¡± At this moment, a video call from Mo Hanchen came through. Meng Yue thought for a while and finally accepted the call. However, she turned the camera to the ceiling. ¡°Hmm,¡± she said softly. Her voice was soft and low. Mo Hanchen could not see her and his voice turned frosty. ¡°The people from the herbal restaurant will come over later to get a thermos. If you don¡¯t finish eating¡­ ¡°Just wait to be bitten!¡± Saying this, he hung up. Meng Yue looked at his WeChat profile picture and laughed like a fool as she ate her porridge¡­ However, someone seemed to be unable to bear seeing her happy. Just then, Xiang Haoyu called. After much consideration, Meng Yue still accepted the call. ¡°It¡¯s me! ¡°Meng Yue, save me. I only have you¡­¡± It was already 11 p.m. when Xiang Haoyu arrived at the hospital! Meng Yue was shocked to see him. His face was pale and he looked like he would faint at any moment. Xiang Haoyu repeated to Meng Yue what he had said to Meng Zhengde that afternoon. He kneeled in front of her bed. ¡°Yue¡¯er, I was wrong! ¡°I deserve to die!¡± Meng Yue¡¯s face stiffened, and she turned away from him. ¡°I¡¯m not dead yet, you don¡¯t have to kneel down to me!¡± Xiang Haoyu did not get up. He crawled to Meng Yue on his knees, his eyes bloodshot. ¡°Yue¡¯er, save me, save the Xiang family!¡± He clenched his fists in frustration and leaned his face on her blanket. ¡°I¡¯ve done everything I could, but it¡¯s all useless!¡± He looked up at her with his reddened eyes. ¡°Yue¡¯er, you¡¯re all I have now.¡± Chapter 27 Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio Meng Yue gazed out of the window at the dark night, her heart full of sorrow. Was this karma? This kneel she had been waiting for for the past three years had also fulfilled their fate as husband and wife. However, she clearly knew what he meant by asking her to help him! She rejected him coldly. ¡°There¡¯s no use even if you kneel down to me. I can¡¯t help you!¡± When Xiang Haoyu heard her refusal, he agitatedly grabbed her hand. ¡°No! ¡°You can do it! ¡°Go and beg Mo Hanchen. As long as you agree to his conditions, he will let me off!¡± Meng Yue laughed bitterly. ¡°Your father set me up, and now you¡¯re begging me to be his woman and save you and the Xiang Group. Ha, who do you think you are? ¡°You¡¯re all b*******!¡± Xiang Haoyu went crazy! ¡°Then what should we do?¡± He angrily smashed Meng Yue¡¯s bed. ¡°I can¡¯t watch the Xiang Group be destroyed, I can¡¯t! ¡°I can¡¯t become the black sheep of the Xiang family!¡± His ferocious face and the way he smashed the bed made Meng Yue feel like he was a stranger. He hadn¡¯t been this hot-tempered when he had been dating her sister! He was considerate and gentle, but now, he was like a madman. ¡°What does it have to do with me? ¡°Xiang Haoyu, I don¡¯t owe your Xiang family anything!¡± Suddenly, he calmed down. His eyes drifted and his expression was calm. ¡°That¡¯s right, you don¡¯t owe the Xiang clan. I owe you! ¡°Didn¡¯t you always blame me for not coming home? Didn¡¯t you blame me for not giving you a married life? I¡¯ll give it to you now, okay?¡± As he spoke, Xiang Haoyu began to remove his clothes. ¡°Let¡¯s be husband and wife now. I¡¯ll pay back what I owe you!¡± Meng Yue looked at him as he undid his clothes. She panicked. ¡°Xiang Haoyu, you dare?¡± ¡°What don¡¯t I dare to do!¡± Xiang Haoyu threw off his suit and got into bed. ¡°Meng Yue, we¡¯re husband and wife now. You have an obligation to fulfill your duties as a wife!¡± As he said that, he forcibly came forward. Meng Yue slapped him across the face. ¡°Xiang Haoyu, calm down!¡± ¡°I can¡¯t calm down!¡± As he said that, he held her hands, holding her still. Meng Yue¡¯s eyes flashed sharply. ¡°B******!¡± As she struggled, she raised her foot and kicked him in the chest. With a ¡®thump¡¯, he fell to the ground. The back of his head hit the floor. Meng Yue was so frightened that she immediately pressed the call button. Half an hour later, the emergency doctor came out. Xiang Haoyu was diagnosed with a mild concussion. One of his ribs was broken, and there were signs of bleeding in his chest. Not long after, Xiang Haoyu was pushed out of the emergency room. When she saw the bruises blooming on his chest, she pursed her lips. She couldn¡¯t say that she was heartbroken, but she couldn¡¯t help but feel sad. Although the two of them didn¡¯t have a substantial relationship, she had been carrying the title of Mrs. Xiang for three years, so it was inevitable that she couldn¡¯t feel at ease. After that, Meng Yue called Zhou Liang and told him about Xiang Haoyu¡¯s situation at the hospital. Zhou Liang came over five minutes later. ¡°B****! You¡¯re a jinx! ¡°Without you, this would definitely not have happened to the Xiang family!¡± He pointed his finger at Meng Yue, scolding, ¡°Old Master fainted from anger because of you, and now Young Master is in this state. Are you happy now? ¡°As you wish, you can get lost!¡± Meng Yue shrugged and walked away indifferently. She wasn¡¯t stupid enough to bite back at a dog that had bitten her! She wasn¡¯t a saint who thought that she had the ability to cause all the disasters. Back in her room, Meng Yue wanted to check the time but received a message from Mo Hanchen. ¡°It was not me who injured him.¡± Meng Yue smiled when she saw it. It seemed like he already knew about what had happened at the hospital. ¡°Yes.¡± ¡°I¡¯m not suspecting you.¡± At this moment, Mo Hanchen¡¯s call came. It was a voice call. Meng Yue thought for a moment but didn¡¯t receive it. Instead, she sent a reply. ¡°It¡¯s late. I¡¯m tired.¡± ¡°Okay.¡± Meng Yue felt strange when he ended their conversation with only one word. He knew what had happened at the hospital, so he must have known about Xiang Haoyu¡¯s request. His silence meant that he respected her wishes. He didn¡¯t take advantage of her, but he was making preparations to do so. He was just waiting for her to throw herself into his arms! However, she was not willing to! She picked up her phone and looked at the caller ID. Her parents had called her many times after the incident, but she had never answered. She had only replied to them on the night of the incident, saying that she was fine and would be back in two days. Perhaps, it was time for her to make a trip back. After all, whether it was now or in the future, she would be the one to inherit the Meng Group! If she and Xiang Haoyu did not get a divorce, the Meng Group might be handed over to Xiang Haoyu eventually. However, since the Xiang family has done this to her, it was impossible for the marriage to continue. Therefore, she had to make advanced preparations. The next morning, Meng Yue returned to the Xiang family after being discharged from the hospital. Her mother, Li Yun, had hugged her tightly! Meng Yue shook her head. ¡°I¡¯m fine! ¡°Mr. Mo is a gentleman!¡± In fact, that had been Meng Yue¡¯s evaluation of him until now! Even if he went overboard, it might be because he couldn¡¯t help it or because what he said and did was what a man would do to pursue a woman. At this moment, the housekeeper came over and announced that breakfast was ready. The family took their seats. This was the first time in three years that they had had breakfast peacefully. ¡°Xiang Haoyu came to apologize to me yesterday!¡± Meng Yue¡¯s eyes flashed. She had guessed correctly. Xiang Haoyu¡¯s injuries were caused by her father. She looked at her father and lightly said, ¡°I will divorce him!¡± Li Yun nodded. ¡°Okay!¡± Meng Zhengde patted her shoulder. ¡°Okay!¡± Meng Liang¡¯s eyes instantly reddened. She now knew that her parents¡¯ love hadn¡¯t disappeared; they simply weren¡¯t good at expressing themselves because her sister had left! ¡°I want to go back to the Meng Group!¡± Meng Zhengde nodded again. ¡°The Meng Group was yours to begin with!¡± At this moment, Li Yun took her hand. ¡°Yue¡¯er, it¡¯s not that we don¡¯t love you!¡± Meng Yue swallowed and nodded. ¡°I¡¯ll stay at home from now on!¡± Li Yun began to wipe her tears, and Meng Zhengde¡¯s eyes also turned red¡­ It was possible to bury the hatchet as long as one side took the initiative! After breakfast, Meng Yue followed her father into the Meng Group to familiarize herself with the company¡¯s environment and the current projects. She could also roughly see how the Xiang Group¡¯s collapse had impacted the Meng Group. That afternoon, Meng Yue mentioned her intention to visit the Moyun Group. Meng Zhengde looked at his daughter. ¡°You and Mo Hanchen¡­¡± Meng Yue immediately explained, ¡°We¡¯re not in the kind of relationship you¡¯re thinking of!¡± Meeting her father¡¯s eyes, she guiltily added, ¡°At least not for now!¡± Meng Zhengde¡¯s eyes gleamed, and he nodded meaningfully. ¡°Alright! ¡°Mr. Mo saved your life yesterday. It¡¯s only right for you to thank him in person!¡± Meng Yue exhaled. She wanted to say that she had already thanked him in person yesterday, but she was afraid that her father would overthink it, so she didn¡¯t explain. At two o¡¯clock in the afternoon, Meng Yue and her father appeared at Moyun Group¡¯s reception hall. After receiving the call from the front desk, Mo Yu ran excitedly to the president¡¯s office. He was so excited that he entered without knocking. Mo Hanchen, who was on the phone, glared at him and continued to speak. As soon as Mo Hanchen ended the call, Mo Yu excitedly reported the good news. ¡°Boss, the person you¡¯ve been waiting for is here!¡± Mo Hanchen¡¯s eyes lit up. ¡°Oh?¡± ¡°Faster than I thought!¡± Chapter 28 Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio Mo Yu rubbed his nose. ¡°Do you want to go down in person?¡± Mo Hanchen nodded. ¡°Of course. How could I miss such a good opportunity to slap Xiang Haoyu in the face?¡± Before Mo Yu could say anything else, Mo Hanchen had already disappeared from his sight. Mo Han grinned evilly. How was his master¡¯s eager look sizing up Xiang Haoyu! He was simply meeting his little lover! Meng Yue and Meng Zhengde were politely invited into a guest room. Meng Zhengde looked at the magnificent Moyun Group and said, ¡°The Meng Group will never be able to catch up with this company!¡± Meng Yue smiled. ¡°President Meng, don¡¯t belitte yourself!¡± ¡°It¡¯s not that I¡¯m belittling myself,¡± Meng Zhengde said. ¡°It¡¯s true that the new generation will surpass the old. The world will belong to you young people in the future!¡± Meng Yue laughed. ¡°President Meng, isn¡¯t it too early for me to say that I¡¯ll let you enjoy your old age? You¡¯re only fifty years old, you¡¯re in your prime!¡± ¡°You¡¯ve already joined the Meng Group. Can¡¯t I rest for a while?¡± Meng Zhengde asked. ¡°Your mother and I have to recuperate and prepare to take care of your child!¡± Meng Yue smiled. ¡°You¡¯re in too much of a hurry!¡± ¡°I don¡¯t mean to pressure you. I just want to say that if you meet someone after the divorce, bring him home to meet your mother and me!¡± Meng Zhengde said. Meng Yue nodded. ¡°Alright!¡± She raised her head and her eyes met Mo Hanchen¡¯s. Mo Hanchen was dumbfounded! He did not expect that the person who had come was not Xiang Haoyu, but his future father-in-law. ¡°Cough, cough, cough!¡± A certain someone was shameless! Mo Hanchen looked at Mo Yu, who was smirking behind him. He dragged him into the meeting room next door. The man¡¯s suppressed cries of pain came from the meeting room. A minute later, Mo Hanchen tidied his suit and combed the hair on his forehead. Before others, he was suave and elegant. In private, he was overbearing, barbaric, and narrow-minded. Meng Yue¡¯s lips curved into a smile. She thought to herself, ¡°What a waste of this face that angers both man and the heavens.¡± He was clearly a ruffian bandit down to his bones! Mo Hanchen pushed the door open and looked straight at Meng Zhengde. He extended his hand to Meng Zhengde and courteously greeted him. ¡°President Meng, it¡¯s an honor to meet you!¡± Meng Zhengde immediately held onto Mo Hanchen¡¯s hand. ¡°President Mo, I¡¯ve heard so much about you!¡± ¡°Elder Meng, you¡¯re too polite. Please have a seat!¡± After that, he turned to Meng Yue. ¡°Ms. Meng, we meet again!¡± Meng Yue extended her hand to Mo Hanchen. ¡°Thank you for yesterday, Mr. Mo!¡± Mo Hanchen raised an eyebrow and held her hand. ¡°You¡¯re welcome!¡± Then, in a tone that only the two of them could hear, he said, ¡°I¡¯m doing this for the sake of my own future!¡± Meng Liang¡¯s eyebrows twitched as she struggled to free herself from his grip. What on earth! He was serious for less than three seconds! Later, when the three of them sat down, Meng Yue caught a glimpse of Mo Yu being dragged out by the front desk girl. How had Mo Yu offended him? He was really ruthless. Mo Hanchen¡¯s eyes had been on Meng Yue the entire time. How could he allow her the opportunity to look at another man? ¡°What brings Elder Meng and Ms. Meng here today?¡± Meng Zhengde looked at Meng Yue. At this time, Meng Yue was the first to speak. ¡°I¡¯m here to discuss a collaboration with President Mo!¡± Mo Hanchen furrowed his brows and suddenly realized that things were not looking good! This wasn¡¯t right! It¡¯s not to discuss a collaboration! It should be that Meng Yue was there to beg him to let the Xiang Group off due to the divorce agreement! Now that the two of them had come together, things were developing in a different direction! ¡°Oh?¡± Mo Hanchen looked at her calmly. ¡°What kind of collaboration do you want to discuss with me, Ms. Meng?¡± Meng Yue glanced at her father. ¡°President Meng, I left a document in the car. Can you help me get it?¡± She was obviously sending him away. Meng Zhengde¡¯s eyes flickered and he subconsciously looked at Mo Hanchen as though he was guarding against a thief. Mo Hanchen laughed helplessly. ¡°Don¡¯t worry, President Meng, only your daughter will bully me!¡± Meng Zhengde left thereafter. When Meng Yue was the only one left in the guest room, Mo Hanchen began to let himself go! ¡°Meng Yue, what do you mean?¡± He kicked the door of the guest room. ¡°If you dare speak up for Xiang Haoyu and the Xiang Group, I¡¯ll destroy you!¡± ¡°Destroying others at will; you¡¯re rather capable!¡± As she spoke, Meng Yue picked up the cup of coffee in front of her and took a sip. ¡°I haven¡¯t even said what kind of collaboration it is, and you¡¯re already treating me like this. How am I supposed to discuss any future collaboration?¡± Mo Hanchen took a deep breath. ¡°Meng Yue, I don¡¯t want to talk about collaboration with you!¡± As he spoke, he picked up the coffee in front of him and took a sip. Because of his bad mood, even the originally mellow coffee now tasted different. He angrily put down his coffee cup and called out to the front desk. ¡°Make me another cup of coffee!¡± Looking at the front desk girl, who was nervously making coffee again, Meng Yue rolled her eyes. ¡°Mo Hanchen, you¡¯re so childish!¡± She picked up the coffee and sniffed it. Her face relaxed as she smelled the rich coffee aroma. Mo Hanchen¡¯s face darkened and he suddenly approached warningly, ¡°No matter how childish, I¡¯m still yours!¡± Meng Yue subconsciously looked at the door and retreated slightly. ¡°That was an accident!¡± She took a sip of her coffee and lowered her eyes. ¡°I didn¡¯t take it to heart!¡± Mo Hanchen lost his cool and grabbed her wrist. ¡°Meng Yue, not only did you sleep with me, but you¡¯re also trying to drive me to my grave!¡± Meng Yue¡¯s face reddened, and she struggled to get free. ¡°Let go of me first. Let¡¯s talk!¡± Mo Hanchen refused to give in to her wishes. ¡°Meng Yue, do you want me to tell the world that you slept with me?¡± Meng Yue was flustered. ¡°You dare!¡± Mo Hanchen was not threatened by her. ¡°There¡¯s nothing in this world that I, Mo Hanchen, don¡¯t dare to do!¡± He held her chin and lifted her head. ¡°I¡¯ll remind you again that I have all the evidence!¡± ¡°Hooligan!¡± Meng Yue flew into a rage, humiliated, and bit him¡­ ¡°Mo Hanchen, you¡¯re so bad!¡± Meng Yue grabbed the hand that was on her chin and bit down hard on it. ¡°Hiss¡­¡± Mo Hanchen pursed his lips and tightened his grip on her waist. Meng Yue was in pain. ¡°Let go!¡± She then used all her strength to wrestle free from his control. ¡°B******!¡± Mo Hanchen watched as she jumped far away and looked down at the teeth marks on the back of his hand. ¡°The taste of being bitten¡­¡± Meng Yue was speechless. She instinctively felt that he had something bold to say! Indeed, Mo Hanchen never disappointed! He looked at her teasingly. ¡°It¡¯s so good!¡± He stared at her little mouth and pointed to his own mouth. ¡°Bite here in future!¡± Meng Yue¡¯s originally angry face turned red in a second, down to her neck and even the back of her ears! This guy was shameless! He was not worthy of being a human! Then, in front of Meng Yue, Mo Hanchen kissed the back of the hand that had been bitten by her. His expression was one of enjoyment and intoxication! ¡°How fragrant!¡± Meng Yue almost lost her balance. ¡°Mo Hanchen, you really¡­¡± A word came to her mind ¡ª obscene. Mo Hanchen looked at her face and a dangerous glint flashed across his eyes. ¡°Meng Yue, do you know how much you¡¯ve tortured me? I can¡¯t even eat properly nor sleep at night!¡± Meng Yue trembled as she backed away. ¡°What does it have to do with me?¡± Mo Hanchen¡¯s face immediately darkened. ¡°You said it has nothing to do with you?¡± He casually picked up a remote control, and it sounded with a ¡®ding¡¯. The curtains of the originally bright reception room fell. Meng Yue panicked and ran towards the door. ¡°Mo Hanchen, what are you trying to do in broad daylight?¡± Mo Hanchen walked towards her. ¡°If I can¡¯t do it in the day, how about at night?¡± When she realized that her phone was still on the conference table, she ran over to get it. ¡°Mo Hanchen, it looks like we won¡¯t be able to discuss the collaboration today!¡± She grabbed her phone and ran towards the door again. ¡°If you don¡¯t discuss the collaboration today, I won¡¯t agree to it even if you beg me to work with you in the future!¡± She had finally made up her mind to take the first step between them, but now, it had all been ruined by him! Moreover, his expression when he had earlier kissed the wound ¡®obscenely¡¯ had scared her! When he lost control, she couldn¡¯t stand it at all. Chapter 29 Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio Mo Hanchen saw that she was about to flee and threatened her. ¡°Meng Yue, you¡¯d better not run!¡± Meng Yue didn¡¯t even turn her head. ¡°Don¡¯t run; am I a fool?¡± Just as she opened the door and was about to leave, Mo Hanchen pressed a button and the door under her hand was locked. Meng Yue was in despair! She turned around and glared angrily at him. ¡°Mo Hanchen!¡± Mo Hanchen¡¯s face clouded over. ¡°Is the collaboration you want to talk about related to Xiang Haoyu and the Xiang Group?¡± Meng Yue¡¯s brows furrowed and her eyes narrowed. ¡°What if they¡¯re related?¡± Mo Hanchen was instantly filled with anger. His heart was broken. ¡°Scram!¡± The door was unlocked with a ¡®ding¡¯ sound. With a bang, the remote control was thrown on the conference table and slid far away. Meng Yue clenched her fists. ¡°I mean¡­¡± Mo Hanchen sat in his office chair with a gloomy expression. ¡°Scram!¡± Then, he turned and faced his back to her. ¡°I don¡¯t want to hear a single word from you right now!¡± Meng Yue¡¯s eyes turned red. Her tears of grievance were on the verge of falling, and she looked particularly pitiful. The room was silent! It was so quiet that they could hear the sound of their two hearts slowly drifting apart. Mo Hanchen¡¯s hand on the armrest tightened. He wanted to turn back to look at her, but resisted the urge to do so! Subsequently, the door was pulled open and then close. Her aura instantly faded! Mo Hanchen was so irate that he kicked the chair beside him. ¡°Meng Yue! ¡°You¡¯re making me force myself on you, right?¡± Meng Yue¡¯s eyes were still red when she returned to the car. Meng Zhengde¡¯s mouth moved. He originally did not want to say it, but eventually, he did. ¡°Don¡¯t let yourself suffer! ¡°Dad¡¯s still here!¡± Meng Yue nodded. ¡°I know. I know what to do!¡± However, she still couldn¡¯t help but feel sad. She had heard the word ¡®scram¡¯ from Mo Hanchen one too many times! However, she had never been so heartbroken before! Mo Hanchen, if you dare to say ¡®scram¡¯ to me again, I will chew you up and spit you out! On the way, Meng Yue received a call from Xiang Haoyu. She didn¡¯t return to the office. Instead, she refused her father¡¯s company and went straight to the hospital. At the door of the ward, Meng Yue met Xiang Shen, who had just quarreled with Xiang Haoyu. When Xiang Shen saw Meng Yue, he could no longer suppress his rage! ¡°Meng Yue, you¡¯re a jinx!¡± He pointed at Meng Yue¡¯s head and scolded, ¡°Without you, Mo Hanchen would not have treated the Xiang family like this. The Xiang family would not have become the laughing stock of Jongvale and our business would not have collapsed!¡± Meng Liang smirked. ¡°Well, a father-in-law like uncle is also famous in Jongvale!¡± ¡°You¡­¡± Xiang Shen sputtered. Meng Liang said, ¡°You went for wool and came home shorn. You¡¯re the best example!¡± ¡°You swine, shut your mouth!¡± Xiang Shen spewed. ¡°Our Xiang family doesn¡¯t have a daughter-in-law like you!¡± Meng Liang nodded tauntingly. ¡°It just so happens that I don¡¯t want to step through the Xiang family¡¯s gate anymore!¡± Xiang Shen was so rankled that he clutched his chest and couldn¡¯t breathe. ¡°Meng Yue, you b****, you¡¯ve completely ruined the reputation of our Xiang family!¡± At this moment, Xiang Haoyu came out of the ward. ¡°Dad, don¡¯t say anymore!¡± He took Meng Yue¡¯s hand and looked at her affectionately. ¡°I won¡¯t divorce Meng Yue!¡± Meng Yue shook Xiang Haoyu off. ¡°Don¡¯t touch me!¡± Xiang Shen said, ¡°You unfilial son! She caused our Xiang family to become like this. Are you still not going to divorce her?¡± Xiang Shen added fuel to the fire as he watched Meng Yue wipe her hands. ¡°Besides, she won¡¯t even let you touch her now. Maybe she¡¯s already with Mo Hanchen!¡± Xiang Shen looked at Meng Yue. ¡°She was already this way after being drugged. I don¡¯t believe that nothing happened between them! Maybe they¡¯ll be very happy after we leave!¡± Xiang Haoyu was burning with anger. ¡°Dad, please stop talking!¡± He wiped his face in pain. ¡°I don¡¯t care!¡± He couldn¡¯t care! Her father had sent his daughter-in-law to another man¡¯s bed for the sake of the company¡¯s interests. The Xiang family should be the ones to be criticized for this, not Meng Yue. He looked at Xiang Shen accusingly, ¡°And even if something happened between them, it¡¯s all your fault!¡± Xiang Shen looked at Xiang Haoyu in exasperation and furiously slapped him, ¡°You disgraceful thing! ¡°Don¡¯t fall for her tricks!¡± He looked at Meng Yue, who had been smiling wickedly. ¡°Maybe they¡¯ve already colluded to set you up!¡± Meng Yue laughed coldly. ¡°Xiang Haoyu, you should be a good son!¡± She looked at Xiang Shen, ¡°Besides, it¡¯s all my fault that the Xiang family is in this state!¡± Xiang Shen could hear the sarcasm in her words and walked away while cursing, ¡°Xiang Haoyu, if you don¡¯t divorce her, don¡¯t call me Dad in the future! ¡°Don¡¯t step into the Xiang family!¡± Xiang Haoyu angrily smashed into the wall. ¡°It¡¯s all my fault! ¡°I¡¯m so useless!¡± He punched the tiles one after another as if he had gone berserk. Meng Yue sneered. ¡°Stop acting! ¡°I¡¯m not in the mood to watch a show now!¡± Xiang Haoyu¡¯s eyes flickered. ¡°Yue¡¯er, I¡­¡± His face was filled with embarrassment. Yes, they knew Meng Yue was here, so they had put on this show! He didn¡¯t expect her to see through it! Meng Yue looked at Xiang Haoyu¡¯s embarrassed face. ¡°You want to know how I could tell?¡± Xiang Haoyu did not say anything, but his face was crimson. ¡°Because housekeeper Zhou didn¡¯t scold me today!¡± With that, Meng Yue led the way into the ward. ¡°In the past, he would¡¯ve called me a b**** or a jinx. He wouldn¡¯t have been as polite as he is today.¡± Xiang Haoyu¡¯s eyes darkened as he followed her into the ward. The moment he closed the door, he painfully knelt in front of Meng Yue once more. Meng Yue struggled, but Xiang Haoyu wrapped his arms tightly around her waist. ¡°Yue¡¯er, go and beg Mo Hanchen. Go and beg him, okay?¡± Meng Yue looked at the unreasonable man. ¡°I can go and beg for Mo Hanchen¡¯s forgiveness!¡± Xiang Haoyu stood up in excitement and hugged her tightly. ¡°I knew that you still love me. I knew that you can¡¯t bear to see me in so much pain!¡± ¡°Xiang Haoyu,¡± Meng Yue said. ¡°I have a condition!¡± ¡°What?¡± Xiang Haoyu asked. Meng Yue pushed him away. ¡°The condition is for you to show me the divorce papers and certificate!¡± Xiang Haoyu immediately shook his head frantically. ¡°No! ¡°Yue¡¯er, we can¡¯t divorce! I can¡¯t divorce you!¡± Xiang Haoyu was still in a state of hysteria. He stepped forward again and wrapped his arms around Meng Yue¡¯s waist. ¡°I apologize, I admit my mistake, I promise to change!¡± Meng Liang scoffed. ¡°You refuse to divorce me, and now you want me to beg him? ¡°What, you want me to sleep with him while carrying the title of Mrs. Xiang? ¡°You don¡¯t even care about being cuckolded?¡± Xiang Haoyu said, ¡°You¡¯ll only sleep with him once! Just once! I¡¯ll just take it that you had a man before marriage! ¡°Besides, I won¡¯t let anyone know about this, not even Dad. After sleeping with him once, he¡¯ll let the Xiang Group off and we¡¯ll stay far away from Mo Hanchen!¡± The more he spoke, the more excited Xiang Haoyu became. ¡°Let¡¯s just put this matter behind us. We¡¯ll forget about the unhappiness from before and be together happily. I¡¯ll hold a grand wedding for you and then have three or four children¡­¡± Meng Yue didn¡¯t wait for him to finish his sentence and ruthlessly slapped him again! ¡°Xiang Haoyu, you should just shut up!¡± She smacked Xiang Haoyu¡¯s face to the side. He looked at Meng Yue with bloodshot eyes and said nothing. Meng Yue looked at him sarcastically. ¡°Xiang Haoyu, can you please grow a spine? ¡°Your gutless appearance makes me want to vomit!¡± Xiang Haoyu saw that Meng Yue was riled and rushed forward to hug her. He began to explain incoherently. ¡°Yue¡¯er, don¡¯t be repulsed by me. I love you, and you¡¯re the only one I love now! Really, just sleep with Mo Hanchen once, and after that, we¡¯ll get as far away from him as possible. This way, you don¡¯t have to be calculative about how many women I¡¯ve slept with before, and I won¡¯t look down on you for having slept with someone else. We¡¯ll forget all the unhappiness from before and live our lives happily.¡± Chapter 30 Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio Meng Yue was furious! She struggled to push him away, but this caused her to graze the wounds on her body and the pain made her face pale. ¡°Xiang Haoyu, you piece of trash! ¡°Why must you sacrifice me to save your Xiang family from its predicament! ¡°Also, you¡¯re disgusting for sleeping around! Your Xiang family is perverse for asking me to beg Mo Hanchen and sending me to his bed. What does it have to do with me?¡± Meng Yue was dumbfounded. ¡°This marriage has been a mistake from the start. It has only brought me pain and suffering. I thought that as long as I persisted, you would turn to look at me, but I realized I was wrong! In fact, you even ruined my innocence because you drugged Mo Hanchen!¡± Meng Yue blurted out the last sentence, unable to stop herself. She looked at Xiang Haoyu, afraid that he would notice something. She kept swallowing nervously. ¡°Xiang Haoyu, let¡¯s get a divorce! ¡°You¡¯ll drive me to my death!¡± Meng Yue pushed him away again. ¡°Let¡¯s talk about the Xiang Group and the divorce! ¡°No one dares to take over the projects in the Xiang Group¡¯s mess now. Our Meng Group can buy over those projects between you and the Mo Group and solve your current financial problems!¡± Xiang Haoyu¡¯s eyes lit up. That was indeed a good idea! Moreover, besides the Meng family, there probably wasn¡¯t any other company that would dare to get involved with the Xiang Group. However, in the next moment, Xiang Haoyu thought of something. ¡°Could this be the result of you colluding with Mo Hanchen? If the Meng Group buys over the projects and starts working with Mo Hanchen, then we¡­¡± It¡¯ll be a huge loss. Meng Yue finished his sentence, ¡°Then you guys can just wait for someone else to take over your projects!¡± She walked towards the door. ¡°Think about it! ¡°We¡¯re willing to accept your projects. Our only request is a divorce agreement and a divorce certificate!¡± Xiang Haoyu said, ¡°Meng Yue, don¡¯t hit me when I¡¯m down!¡± Meng Yue snorted. ¡°You can do a market assessment for your projects. It¡¯s a fair trade!¡± With that, Meng Yue left! Xiang Haoyu considered and then reconsidered again, and finally called Guo Rui. ¡°Get someone to evaluate our projects with Moyun. I¡¯m going to sell them!¡± After hanging up the phone, Xiang Haoyu fell into deep thought. Meng Yue was no longer the Meng Yue who had waited for him to come home every day! He had hurt her! His father had hurt her! It¡¯s good to be separated for a while! Didn¡¯t she want the divorce papers and certificate? He would just give it to her! At this moment, Xiang Haoyu¡¯s small eyes shone. It was full of darkness and scheming. That night, Mo Hanchen worked overtime for a while. When he left the office, he bumped into Mo Yu. Mo Yu didn¡¯t even greet him, and even gave him a vicious look. After work, this assistant of his also had a temper! ¡°I have the latest news about the Xiang Group, and it¡¯s related to Ms. Meng. But I just don¡¯t want to tell you!¡± After work. I¡¯m just showing off! Just playing! Mo Hanchen rolled his eyes at him and said in a dark tone, ¡°I suddenly feel that the company¡¯s front desk is not up to standard and needs to go abroad for training!¡± Mo Yu instantly shriveled up. F***! Overseas training? Are you kidding me? The corner of Mo Yu¡¯s mouth twitched. He reminded himself again not to compete with his boss to see who was more shameless! Otherwise, he would lose terribly! Seeing his boss enter the elevator, Mo Yu immediately followed him in with his tail between his legs. ¡°Master, I was wrong!¡± Mo Yu said. Mo Hanchen glanced at him from the corner of his eyes. ¡°Speak!¡± When it came to work, Mo Yu immediately raised his head and puffed out his chest, looking serious. ¡°I¡¯ve just received news that the Xiang Group is currently evaluating the projects that they¡¯ve previously collaborated on with our Moyun. I¡¯m guessing that they¡¯re preparing to sell those projects!¡± Mo Hanchen¡¯s eyes flickered as he suddenly thought of Meng Yue and Meng Zhengde¡¯s meeting with him in the afternoon. Could this be the collaboration that that woman had been talking about? Once they were out of the elevator, Mo Hanchen gave Meng Yue a call. The call went through, but it was immediately cut off! Mo Hanchen called again, but the other side hung up again! By the fifth time, Mo Hanchen was so irate that his face had turned crimson. At that moment, Wang Ming came over to open the door for him. ¡°Where did Meng Yue go after she left Moyun?¡± ¡°The hospital!¡± Wang Ming replied. Mo Hanchen¡¯s face turned from red to black. She actually went to see Xiang Haoyu again! Bad woman! She deserved it! Deserved what? She deserved to be taught a lesson! Royal View Court. Mo Hanchen did not return to his floor, but stopped at the floor where Meng Yue stayed. He went to knock on the door with some resentment and anger, but Meng Yue didn¡¯t open the door to him even though he was about to break it down. He made another call. However, the call was disconnected again! Mo Hanchen was so livid that he kicked the door until his foot hurt. ¡°Meng Yue, open the door!¡± ¡°If you continue to refuse to do so, I¡¯m going to get someone to break it down!¡± Meng Yue was already resting on the bed. She could already imagine his angry face when she read his message. That dog! When I was begging you, you were so arrogant. Now, I just don¡¯t want to talk to you. I won¡¯t answer your calls, I won¡¯t reply to your messages, I¡¯ll just play around with you! Looking at the two messages that were like rocks sinking into the sea, he already knew that this woman was playing with him! You¡¯re holding a grudge? Watch how I¡¯ll deal with you! Mo Hanchen gave Wang Ming a call. ¡°Get someone to unlock the door!¡± Wang Ming was taken aback. ¡°Master, did you lose your key? But wait, isn¡¯t that a fingerprint lock?¡± ¡°I want to open Meng Yue¡¯s door!¡± Mo Hanchen said. At this moment, Wang Ming smacked his head. ¡°Master, I made a mistake. I forgot to tell you that Ms. Meng hasn¡¯t returned to Royal View Court these two days! ¡°She went back to the Meng family!¡± Mo Hanchen hung up the phone and headed straight for the Meng family¡¯s residence. The Meng family lived in the east of the city, and they arrived there half an hour later! The time was 11:30 p.m. Mo Hanchen called Meng Yue again, but this time, the other party did not pick up nor hang up. He guessed that she might already have fallen asleep! Looking at the villa in front of him, he suddenly felt a little discouraged. This was the first time he had fallen for a woman, and he felt that his words and actions were a little childish and uncontrollable. Not only was he emotional, but he also couldn¡¯t stand her silent treatment. ¡°I¡¯m outside the Meng family¡¯s villa. Come out!¡± Putting down his phone, he stepped out of the car, leaned against the door, and lit a cigarette. The night was quiet. Mo Hanchen¡¯s heart slowly calmed! She was sleeping soundly less than 100 meters away from him. Suddenly, he remembered her sleeping face after their first time at the Supreme Club. His body tensed up as he thought of her beauty. He looked at her phone and saw that there was no reply. He looked at the villa in front of him and tried to guess where Meng Yue¡¯s room was. After 10 seconds, the target was confirmed. After that, he took a deep puff of the cigarette. Looking at the room through the smoke, he stepped on the cigarette butt, and walked towards the villa. After a few leaps and bounds, Mo Hanchen appeared on the air conditioner unit outside Meng Yue¡¯s room. He pushed at the window and his eyes lit up. ¡°Little girl, it¡¯s a good habit not to close the window when you sleep!¡± Mo Hanchen opened the window and jumped into the room. Chapter 31 Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio At this moment, Meng Liang, who was under the blanket, was almost scared to death! She had heard the commotion when Mo Hanchen jumped onto her window. Meng Liang had always been a light sleeper, no thanks to Xiang Haoyu. Her heart almost jumped out of her chest when she saw a dark figure moving towards her. Were thieves these days so forward? Was it Xiang Haoyu? Only Xiang Haoyu would climb through a window so late at night! Wretched scum! She would stab him to death if he dared to touch her. Meng Liang carefully took the scissors next to her pillow and held them tightly in her hands. As for why there were scissors, she had forgotten to put them back in the drawer when she opened a package the other night. She closed her eyes and pretended to be asleep, waiting for the man to approach her. Once he was close enough, she would aim a stab towards his head. Mo Hanchen sat by her bed and eyed her under the moonlight. Meng Liang was beautiful, but she was not very bright. Thinking about her meeting with Xiang Haoyu earlier that afternoon, Mo Hanchen suddenly felt angry! He could not wait to sink his teeth into her flesh. He would bite wherever he pleased. Besides, those full lips were practically calling out to him. However, just as he leaned forward for a kiss, he felt a sharp pain in his head. ¡°Si si si¡­¡± ¡°I¡¯ll cut you to death. I¡¯ll cut you to death! Xiang Haoyu, you scum, how dare you climb through my window!¡± Meng Liang waved the scissors in her hand madly. ¡°I¡¯ll kill you!¡± Mo Hanchen grabbed flailing arms and snatched the scissors away, his eyebrows twitching. ¡°Meng Liang, are you crazy?¡± Only then did Meng Liang dare to open her eyes. ¡°What are you doing here?¡± she asked. Mo Hanchen held his bleeding head. ¡°Who do you think it was?¡± ¡°I thought Xiang Haoyu was here to threaten me again about not getting a divorce.¡± Mo Hanchen glared at her. ¡°Is he all you think about?¡± Meng Liang did not nod or shake his head. It was a tacit acknowledgement. She had been thinking about her four projects with Xiang Haoyu before she slept and had jumped to conclusions, believing he had to be the intruder. Mo Hanchen was so angry that he could not breathe. ¡°Meng Liang, you¡¯re courting death!¡± The man ignored the injury on his head and violently shoved Meng Liang onto the bed. ¡°Meng Liang, I¡¯ll kill you if you dare to mention Xiang Haoyu again!¡± Meng Liang looked at the wound on Mo Hanchen¡¯s head. Blood flowed into his eyes, creating a haunting visage. She did not dare to move. Her injuries had not healed yet, and if she struggled, they would reopen. Only she would suffer in the end. Staring at the man hovering over her, Meng Liang fell into a daze. She recalled the first time she ever slept with a man. Meng Liang tried to sit up, wanting to check on Mo Hanchen¡¯s injury, but he held her down, not letting go. ¡°I didn¡¯t want to make an issue out of it. You were the one who did! Besides, why would you sneak through the window like a thief?¡± Mo Hanchen replied, ¡°If you bothered answering my calls or replying to my messages, would I need to sneak in to see you?¡± ¡°If you hadn¡¯t made me angry, would I have ignored your calls or refused to reply to your messages?¡± Meng Liang retorted. Mo Hanchen frowned, his lips forming a thin line. Staring at her beautiful little face, his Adam¡¯s apple bobbed impatiently. ¡°Can I kiss you?¡± Meng Liang panicked. ¡°No!¡± She did not want anything to do with him while she was married. ¡°Mo Hanchen, Xiang Haoyu is¡­¡± Before she could finish, Mo Hanchen bit her lips hard. He did not stop until he drew blood, and even then, it merely encouraged him to deepen the kiss. It nearly caused her to faint. ¡°Take this as my way of repaying you.¡± He had bitten, kissed, and said all those harsh words, and now it was time for him to go. As quickly as he came, Mo Hanchen hopped out the window, leaving a seething woman behind. Despite her limp, protesting legs, Meng Liang dragged herself to the window. She was just in time to see Mo Hanchen speed off in his car, the headlights flashing in the dark of night. ¡°That man! I didn¡¯t have time to pay him back! I didn¡¯t get a chance to check his injury either¡­¡± Meng Liang immediately picked up her phone and called him. Mo Hanchen was driving, his face the colour of pitch. He glanced at his phone as it rang, recognising the caller ID instantly. He hung up without answering, a scowl twisting his features. Meng Liang called again, but Mo Hanchen hung up. The cycle repeated itself five times before Meng Liang stopped. Since Mo Hanchen did not want to answer, Meng Liang could only leave him a message: [ Call me when you get home ] However, Meng Liang did not hear from him until one, but when she answered the call, he hung up. Meng Liang was left speechless. She was so angry that she screamed into her pillow. Sure enough, all actions had their consequences. His retribution had come! She ignored him that night, hung up on him five times, and did not reply to his messages. Mo Hanchen paid her back. With interest. Sleep evaded Meng Liang, and she got up after tossing and turning for two to three hours. Although he deserved the injury for sneaking into her room, Meng Liang felt she should apologise. He would be a good partner for some of the Xiang Group¡¯s projects. ¨C The next morning, Meng Liang bought breakfast and went to Royal View Court. She knew Mo Hanchen lived upstairs but did not know his house number, so she waited near the elevator. Meng Liang waited for half an hour before she heard someone exiting the lift. Mo Hanchen looked at Meng Liang in shock. He had not slept well the whole night. To show Meng Liang his displeasure, he had stayed up all night. Seeing her yawning over a breakfast box, Mo Hanchen felt his efforts were not in vain. Still, how could he forgive her so easily? She would not know his importance if he did not teach her a lesson! Meng Liang, as the aggressor, greeted him first, ¡°Hmm¡­ Good morning.¡± Mo Hanchen glanced at her coldly and walked past her without responding. ¡°Mo Hanchen, I was too rash last night. I¡¯m sorry!¡± Meng Liang stared at the wound she had inflicted. Mo Hanchen had not even put a band-aid over the injury. ¡°I have a band-aid here. Let me help you put it on.¡± As she spoke, Meng Liang rummaged through her bag and took out a cute band-aid, trying to dress the wound for him. However, Mo Hanchen pushed her away. ¡°Hmph, I don¡¯t want your band-aid!¡± As he spoke, the man lifted his hair and showed her the wound on his forehead. ¡°Look at what you¡¯ve done. See how you¡¯ve scarred my face with those scissors of yours!¡± Mo Hanchen glared at her with a sullen expression. ¡°I¡¯m not going to disinfect or dress the wound or go to a hospital. I want you to feel guilty for what you¡¯ve done!¡± Meng Liang looked at this childish man, speechless. ¡°Mo Hanchen, you¡¯re acting like a three-year-old!¡± Mo Hanchen glared at her and did not say a word. He jabbed the elevator button angrily, and the elevator came up from the ground floor. Meng Liang tugged on his sleeve. ¡°Have you had breakfast? I¡¯ve brought some if you¡¯d like.¡± ¡°There¡¯s steamed buns, fried buns, osmanthus cakes, glutinous rice cakes¡­¡± Mo Hanchen¡¯s eyes flickered as he watched Meng Liang rummage through the food boxes. How could he miss such a good opportunity to educate her? He had to make her understand how she was wrong and how she needed to apologise for her mistakes. She needed to learn how to please him when he got angry and how flexibility was key to winning his heart. Hugging, kissing, acting coy, or even gently calling his name¡­ any of them would make him happy. He would become a meek little lamb if she kissed and hugged him. He would believe anything she said, regardless of whether she spoke the truth. Just buying him breakfast was not good enough! Mo Hanchen continued being tsundere and said, ¡°I¡¯m not eating!¡± Meng Liang did not even know how best to make him happy. Wouldn¡¯t their future together be boring if this continued? Having had enough, Mo Hanchen said, ¡°I¡¯d rather starve than eat what you¡¯ve bought for breakfast!¡± Chapter 32 Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio Meng Yue¡¯s mouth twitched. Who knew there would be such a despicable man alive? Just then, the elevator arrived. Seeing Mo Hanchen about to enter the elevator, Meng Yue stepped into the lift ahead of him, waiting for the scolding she thought would come. ¡°Mo Hanchen, I¡¯m giving you face, aren¡¯t I?¡± ¡°Never mind. It doesn¡¯t matter if you don¡¯t eat it. I bought it for a dog anyway!¡± Meng Yue pressed the ¡®close¡¯ button, leaving Mo Hanchen standing by the elevator with a confused look. What the hell!? Why were things developing in a different direction from what he had imagined? How did he end up with such a violent and impatient woman? He eyed the food box on the ground and squirmed. ¡°So what if I¡¯m your dog!¡± Mo Hanchen picked up the breakfast box and went home. He would choose not to be human this morning. He would be Meng Yue¡¯s dog! Meng Yue did not return to the Meng Group after leaving Mo Hanchen¡¯s place. Instead, she went to Zhang Shuang¡¯s studio. Zhang Shuang¡¯s project was too much for her to handle alone, and she did not have enough time to complete the murals for the museum, so she had no choice but to ask her good friend, Li Zhan, for help. Li Zhan was her college classmate. He was running a decoration company abroad, and his projects were generally larger than those she undertook. Li Zhan was the person who introduced her to the art industry and the project she was currently working on with Zhang Shuang. Meng Yue fished out her phone and called him. ¡°Oh, that¡¯s great, ¡± Li Zhan said jokingly, ¡°You finally remembered to call me!¡± Meng Yue laughed sheepishly, ¡°I¡¯ve been very busy recently!¡± ¡°You don¡¯t call even when you aren¡¯t busy,¡± Li Zhan teased. Meng Yue eventually arrived at the reason for her call, having chatted for a while. ¡°When are you coming back to China? I¡¯ll treat you to a meal when you do.¡± ¡°I won¡¯t share a meal with you unless it is to celebrate your divorce,¡± Li Zhan quipped. Meng Yue was left speechless. ¡°You¡­ What good will my divorce bring?¡± Li Zhan hesitated. ¡°Well, I¡¯d be able to date you again. That¡¯s a plus!¡± Meng Yue giggled. ¡°Don¡¯t tell me you still have feelings for me. It¡¯s been three years!¡± Li Zhan: ¡°¡­¡± Just when Meng Yue thought Li Zhan would not respond out of embarrassment, her old classmate spoke, ¡°I¡¯m not smitten if that¡¯s what you¡¯re asking; I can¡¯t say I liked your persistence. Besides, I already have a girlfriend.¡± Meng Yue heaved a sigh of relief. ¡°Congratulations!¡± Li Zhan chuckled. ¡°I was planning to return soon. How about this? I¡¯ll pick you up this weekend, and we can share a meal, like old times.¡± ¡°It¡¯s a date, then!¡± Meng Yue happily agreed, ¡°Let¡¯s go for dinner together.¡± ¨C Later that morning, Meng Yue and her father, Meng Zhengde, entered the Xiang Group¡¯s headquarters. The other day, Xiang Shen¡¯s press conference created a stir regarding the mysterious ¡®Mrs Xiang¡¯, which forced Meng Yue into the public eye. Faced with everyone¡¯s strange looks, Meng Yue stepped into the elevator. Once inside, Meny Yue consoled her father. ¡°Dad, it¡¯s over. Once it is settled, Xiang Haoyu and I will no longer be married in the eyes of the law.¡± Meng Zhengde heaved a sigh of relief. ¡°Your Mother and I are at fault for not stopping you¡­¡± Meng Yue shook her head. ¡°I don¡¯t blame either of you. These three years have opened my eyes: Marriage is a two-way street.¡± Meng Zhengde looked fractionally better. ¡°In future, your Mother and I shall vet any boyfriends you have to prevent a mistake like this from happening again.¡± Meng Yue nodded shyly, answering, ¡°Okay.¡± It was then that the childish Mo Hanchen flashed through her mind. She did not know if he had eaten the breakfast she had brought him or fed it to the dogs. ¨C In the Xiang Group¡¯s reception room¡­ The deal was brokered without much issue since the Xiang Group had already cleared the initial drafts of the four projects. Meng Yue was professional throughout the whole process. She discussed the projects in depth, their structure, and forecasts of how they would proceed in a clear, organised manner. Xiang Haoyu felt his heart fill with warmth. Meng Yue had not made any unreasonable demands of the Xiang Group despite what was happening in the background. As discussions drew to a close and Meng Yue and Meng Zhengde were about to leave, Xiang Haoyu stopped them. ¡°Let¡¯s have a meal together!¡± Meng Yue refused before she could finish processing her thoughts. ¡°No, thank you. There¡¯s no need for that.¡± Xiang Haoyu¡¯s face darkened. ¡°Think of it as a farewell treat!¡± To Meng Yue¡¯s surprise, she bumped into Mo Hanchen at dinner, and he was not alone. He was with another woman. Meng Yue nodded at Xiang Haoyu. Meng Zhengde eyed Xiang Haoyu for a moment before turning to his daughter, ¡°I¡¯ll head back first. Call me if anything happens, okay?¡± Xiang Haoyu¡¯s face darkened further. ¡°Father-in-law, Meng Yue and I aren¡¯t divorced yet!¡± Meng Zhengde walked out of the meeting room without looking back. ¡°Don¡¯t call me that; It¡¯s disgusting.¡± Xiang Haoyu clenched his fists and endured the humiliation. If it weren¡¯t for Meng Yue, the Xiang family would not have needed to seek aid from the Meng family. As it was, they were indebted to the Meng family. The meal took place at a private restaurant. There weren¡¯t any private rooms; everything was laid out in the main hall. Meng Yue spoke to Li Zhan over WeChat about the exhibition hall project. She also sent him some information and confirmed the flight time. Xiang Haoyu, on the other hand, rested his chin on his hand and studied Meng Yue intently. The Meng family¡¯s daughters were all beautiful, but Meng Yue and Meng Wan¡¯s beauty differed. Where Meng Wan was flamboyant and free, her thoughts wild and radical, Meng Yue was gentle and quiet. She could sit anywhere, doing nothing, and still look like the picture of beauty given flesh. When Meng Yue finally put down her phone, Xiang Haoyu said, ¡°Yueyue, I¡¯m glad we had you to smooth things over this time.¡± Meng Yue sipped her tea. ¡°You¡¯re welcome. I have my reasons.¡± ¡°In line with our agreement, I¡¯d like for us to go to the Civil Affairs Bureau this afternoon,¡± Meng Yue said as she stared at Xiang Haoyu over the rim of her teacup. Xiang Haoyu¡¯s eyes narrowed, but he agreed. ¡°I¡¯ll do what I promised you.¡± Even as he confirmed his stance, Xiang Haoyu¡¯s expression darkened. ¡°It¡¯s not easy for us to have a meal together. Can you not talk about these annoying things?¡± Meng Yue smiled. ¡°That¡¯s true. This must be the first meal we¡¯ve had together in three years.¡± Xiang Haoyu¡¯s dark eyes flickered, and guilt overcame him. ¡°Yueyue, it was all my fault. Can¡¯t we start all over again? ¡± Meng Yue shook her head. ¡°We can¡¯t.¡± Meeting those eyes so filled with hope, she said, ¡°Three years¡­ that¡¯s long enough.¡± Xiang Haoyu¡¯s face instantly darkened. He suddenly stood up. ¡°I¡¯m going to the washroom!¡± He was afraid that if he did not leave to calm down, he would not be able to resist doing something he should not do to her. At this moment, the waiter¡¯s voice came from the restaurant¡¯s entrance, ¡°President Mo, welcome!¡± Mo Hanchen appeared at the entrance of the restaurant. Xiang Haoyu¡¯s sarcastic voice rang out, ¡°Hey, where¡¯s President Mo? ¡± Mo Hanchen looked at Xiang Haoyu and then at Meng Yue. Meng Yue met Mo Hanchen¡¯s gaze. He was dressed in a grey suit accentuating his height and raising his appeal. Meng Yue¡¯s heart beat wildly, her chest suddenly feeling stuffy. The wound on his forehead seemed to have been treated but was still without a band-aid. It was around two centimetres long. Xiang Haoyu clenched his fists when he saw Mo Hanchen¡¯s gaze land on Meng Yue. ¡°President Mo, you should keep your sights off things that don¡¯t belong to you.¡± Mo Hanchen raised an eyebrow. ¡°She¡¯s not an object. She is a demon who devours people without spitting out their bones.¡± Meng Yue¡¯s eyebrows twitched as she cursed, ¡°You two are nothing. Neither one of you are any good!¡± Chapter 33 Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio Xiang Haoyu¡¯s dark eyes flickered to the wound on Mo Hanchen¡¯s forehead. ¡°Were you up late and met a ghost, President Mo?¡± ¡°Why would it need to be a ghost? Couldn¡¯t someone have caused it?¡± Mo Hanchen casually riposte. Mo Hanchen¡¯s gaze was firmly trained on Meng Yue, almost as if saying she was the culprit. However, the next second, he looked away and set his sights on the woman entering behind him. The beautiful woman graciously extended her hand, which Mo Hanchen accepted. As he clasped the woman¡¯s hand, gently patting it, he continued, speaking meaningfully, ¡°Who knows? Perhaps it was a goblin with sharp teeth who tore into me.¡± The look Mo Hanchen aimed at Meng Yue was not lost on those present, the least of which being Xiao Haoyu, who also turned to look at his wife. Seeing the reactions of those two men, Wang Ye¡¯s attention was similarly drawn to Meng Yue. Meng Yue hung her head low, doing all she could to make herself look smaller. She could not help but wonder what Mo Hanchen¡¯s relation was to the woman next to him. Why was he holding her hand? If he already had a love interest, why was he pestering her? Was he toying with her feelings? All those questions circled her mind like hungry vultures. Xiang Haoyu stepped in between Mo Hanchen¡¯s line of sight, blocking his view of Meng Yue. ¡°Mo Hanchen, stop ogling her!¡± Mo Hanchen laughed coldly. ¡°She won¡¯t have anything to do with you soon enough.¡± Xiang Haoyu froze when he heard Mo Hanchen¡¯s remark. Was there something between Meng Yue and Mo Hanchen? Were the projects the Meng Group had taken over from the Xiang Group a result of something between Mo Hanchen and Meng Yue? ¡°Mo Hanchen, don¡¯t be so arrogant. What¡¯s your purpose in trying to sow discord in the Xiang family.¡± ¡°President Xiang, you¡¯re overthinking things,¡± Mo Hanchen replied. He looked at Meng Yue and then at Xiang Haoyu. ¡°You?!¡± ¡°It¡¯s not worth my effort,¡± he chuckled, ¡°Besides, I¡¯ve said it three times already, but I¡¯ll say it again. I only have one goal.¡± Mo Hanchen turned to Meng Yue. ¡°Miss Meng, I¡¯m sure you know what I want.¡± Meng Yue locked eyes with Mo Hanchen, rising to his challenge with an edge of warning in her voice, ¡°President Mo, please respect my status as a married woman!¡± She nodded in Wang Ye¡¯s direction and said, ¡°Even if you can¡¯t bring yourself to respect me, you should, at the very least, respect the woman in your arms.¡± Mo Hanchen smiled. ¡°I thank Miss Meng for her thoughtfulness. Very well, I shan¡¯t intrude upon your meal any longer.¡± Having said his piece, he wrapped an arm around Wang Ye¡¯s waist, leading her upstairs to the second floor of the grand banquet hall. Meng Yue¡¯s eyes narrowed into slits as she suppressed the raging jealousy in her heart. She wanted nothing more than to chop off that arm of his. Xiang Haoyu, who had wanted to excuse himself for a moment to cool down, returned to his seat, eyeing Meng Yue. Meng Yue weathered Xiang Haoyu¡¯s gaze, sipping from her teacup in uncomfortable silence. She had already drunk two cups of tea before the food arrived. ¡°Meng Yue, have you ever met Mo Hanchen in private?¡± Xiang Haoyu asked, breaking the silence. He did not like how Mo Hanchen stared at Meng Yue; it was a look full of desire and lit the candle of jealousy in him. ¡°Is the deal between the Meng and Xiang Groups related to him?¡± Xiang Haoyu pressed. Meng Yue¡¯s expression changed. ¡°Of course not!¡± More quietly, she added, ¡°It¡¯s only because I want to divorce you.¡± Xiang Haoyu slammed the table angrily, causing several heads to turn towards the commotion. ¡°Xiang Haoyu, stop this! People are watching.¡± Xiang Haoyu gnashed his teeth. ¡°I see it now. Meng Yue, you¡¯d do anything to get a divorce from me!¡± Meng Yue paled, her eyes turning frantically to the waiter who had come around to see if anything was wrong. ¡°We aren¡¯t speaking of this further ¨C end of discussion.¡± Xiang Haoyu glared at Meng Yue, cold wrath bubbling below the surface and in his clenched fists. He had not thought of tampering with their divorce papers, but now, seeing Meng Yue the way she was, Xiang Haoyu could not resist the urge to do something to it. Not long into their meal, Xiang Haoyu¡¯s phone rang. His face darkened when he saw the caller ID. He hung up. Within ten seconds, the phone rang again, but he still did not answer the call. Instead, he muted his phone. Meng Yue caught a glimpse of the caller ID. It was Chen Qing. If things were as before, she might have felt a knot in her heart, but that time had passed. Now, her heart was as calm as water in a clear lake. Though she dearly wished she could return to those halcyon days, to a life where everything seemed like sunshine and rainbows, Meng Yue knew it was impossible. Xiang Haoyu grew even angrier seeing Meng Yue¡¯s indifference. ¡°Meng Yue, I wish I could kill you; here and now.¡± Meng Yue regarded Xiang Haoyu innocently as she asked, ¡°I¡¯m sorry, but could you repeat yourself? I didn¡¯t hear what you said.¡± Xiang Haoyu¡¯s threats landed on a plush cotton cushion, doing little to hurt Meng Yue. Rather, it rebounded, almost causing him to cough out blood. ¡°I¡¯m going to the washroom!¡± Xiang Haoyu marched away in a huff. Meng Yue nodded, simply acknowledging his words with a quiet ¡®Oh¡¯. With Xiang Haoyu gone, Meng Yue finally heaved a sigh of relief. Her mind was filled with thoughts of Mo Hanchen and the woman he had with him. She knew that woman. She was a popular celebrity. Her name was Wang Ye. Meng Yue picked up her phone and sent Mo Hanchen a WeChat message: [ Your girlfriend is really pretty! You two are a match made in heaven! ] Meng Yue tapped her screen viciously, perhaps more than was strictly necessary. She probably would have poked a hole in her screen if she could. While her words appeared civil, they did not accurately reflect her true thoughts. She cursed Mo Hanchen for being worse than a dog in her heart. On the other hand, Mo Hanchen laughed when he read her message. He typed a one-word response: [ Ha! ] Who did she think she was? Did she believe she could one-up him? Wang Ye watched as Mo Hanchen responded to his text message, bowing her head gloomily, but when she looked up, a radiant smile like a blooming flower replaced it. ¡°What¡¯s gotten you so happy?¡± Mo Hanchen put down his phone and ate his food lazily. ¡°I¡¯m just messing with a sharp-tongued vixen.¡± Wang Ye paused. ¡°Is it the one we just met downstairs?¡± Mo Hanchen smiled but did not elaborate. Wang Ye took it as a silent acknowledgement. ¡°She seems to have something going on with the president of the Xiang Group,¡± Wang Ye said. Mo Hanchen¡¯s expression froze for a moment. ¡°They¡¯re getting a divorce.¡± ¡°A divorce?¡± Wang Ye was stunned. She looked at Mo Hanchen in disbelief. ¡°Hanchen, you¡¯re saying you¡¯ve fallen for a married woman?¡± Mo Hanchen met Wang Ye¡¯s incredulous gaze, his eyes as sharp as knives. ¡°Wang Ye!¡± Wang Ye shivered as she stared into those obsidian depths. Mo Hanchen was livid as he said, ¡°I¡¯ve told you they¡¯re getting a divorce!¡± Anger filled his voice. Mo Hanchen no longer looked the part of a lazy rich man. ¡°I¡¯m sorry. I misspoke,¡± Wang Ye apologised. Mo Hanchen glared at her, saying, ¡°You¡¯ve crossed the line!¡± Wang Ye bowed in deference, slowly spooning food into her mouth. It did nothing to sweeten the sour coils constricting her heart. She was Luo Cheng¡¯s girlfriend. He and Mo Hanchen were good friends. When Luo Cheng¡¯s plane crashed, his friends, including Mo Hanchen, took great care of her. Hence, when she expressed interest in entering the entertainment industry, Mo Hanchen did not hesitate to set up Chengxing Entertainment under the Moyun Group. With the Moyun Group¡¯s fame and capabilities, Chengxing Entertainment did not lack resources. With those resources coupled with her talent in acting, Wang Ye soon attained celebrity status. In two years, her work expanded, and she was featured in several variety shows, films and television dramas. Only after she became popular did Chengxing Entertainment start signing other artists. Wang Ye still received the best resources from Chengxing Entertainment. Her career, everything she had built up, was inextricably linked to Mo Hanchen. Yet, love was the one fruit that did not ripen between them. If there was one principle Mo Hanchen adhered by, it was that he never took advantage of his friend¡¯s girlfriends. They shared a strictly professional relationship; walking down the red carpet and sharing a meal was the most they ever did. She wanted more out of their relationship, but Mo Hanchen never showed an interest in her. While many in the industry speculated that Wang Ye was Mo Hanchen¡¯s secret girlfriend, no one dared to voice their thoughts aloud. Mo Hanchen¡¯s name was taboo in the news. Wang Ye snuck a look in Mo Hanchen¡¯s direction, not knowing whether he was eating. Unbeknownst to the affections of the woman across from him, Mo Hanchen stared at his phone, but it never rang. Chapter 34 Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio After dinner, they went downstairs, and Wang Ye did not dare to hold Mo Hanchen¡¯s arm again. As an actress, she knew that Mo Hanchen was suppressing his anger. Why was he angry? Well, that was obvious. Mo Hanchen had feelings for that married woman. When they went downstairs, Mo Hanchen¡¯s first looked toward the table where Meng Yue and Xiang Haoyu had been sitting. It was empty. He seethed. Meng Yue always knew how to push his buttons! Wang Ye dug her nails into the palm of her hand as she followed Mo Hanchen¡¯s gaze. From the backseat of the car, Wang Ye silently assessed Mo Hanchen, who had his eyes closed. She clutched her handbag bitterly. Couldn¡¯t he see that she was the one for him? She had been by his side for almost three years, yet he showed no affection for her. How was that woman, someone on the verge of a divorce, better than her? How could she occupy his mind so much that her physical absence could cause him to feel restless and lose his appetite? ¨C Meanwhile, Meng Yue and Xiang Haoyu were on their way to the Civil Affairs Bureau. Since Xiang Haoyu had already made arrangements beforehand, they did not need to wait long when they arrived. Meng Yue did not hesitate to sign on the dotted line. This total lack of hesitation reignited Xiang Haoyu¡¯s anger, one which he had swallowed with great difficulty. ¡°Meng Yue, I can¡¯t help but think that you and Mo Hanchen planned this!¡± Meng Yue sneered, slamming the pen she used to sign the documents onto the table. The loud ¡®PA¡¯ sound it generated startled the civil servants all around. She rolled her eyes, lacing her words in sarcasm, ¡°Xiang Haoyu, need I remind you what you and your Xiang family have done to me?¡± Xiang Haoyu¡¯s eyes dimmed. He opened his mouth, but no words escaped his lips. ¡°You should be grateful that I¡¯m not taking you or your father to court! If not for your relationship with my sister, I would have ensured you went to jail for what you did to Mo Hanchen and me!¡± Xiang Haoyu paled. ¡°Something like that will never happen again!¡± Meng Yue could not keep the scepticism from her voice, ¡°It won¡¯t happen again, you say? Somehow, I can¡¯t help but doubt you.¡± She took a deep breath and continued, ¡°Once the divorce goes through, we will have nothing to do with each other outside of business dealings.¡± Meng Yue glanced at the documents that Xiang Haoyu had bunched into a ball and said, ¡°Xiang Haoyu, you¡¯d better keep your promise.¡± Snatching their divorce papers from him, Meng Yue laid them flat on the tabletop. ¡°Sign here. Act like a man and get it over with.¡± Xiang Haoyu glared at her with an ashen face, the pen he held now deformed. Seeing she was serious, he smashed the pen and tore the divorce papers in half. ¡°If I were a man, I would drag you home and make it up to you. I wouldn¡¯t sign for a divorce!¡± Meng Yue gave him a tight slap for those dirty and shameless words he spouted. ¡°Trash!¡± Xiang Haoyu¡¯s burned red with anger. ¡°Meng Yue, you¡¯re looking to die!¡± He raised his hand, preparing to slap her in turn. Meng Yue did not move. From the beginning to the end, her eyes never left Xiang Haoyu. Her eyes showed no fear; she was prepared to receive his blow. To her surprise, Xiang Haoyu¡¯s palm stopped mid-air, and then he grabbed her collar and pulled her into a hug, twinning his arms around her waist. His eyes flashed. Meng Yue was so slim that it felt like he would snap her twain if he exerted even a little force. As their eyes met, a strange look overcame his features. ¡°Meng Yue, you¡¯re just venting your frustrations on me ¨C I understand. I¡¯ve deserved that slap for doing you an injustice. Let¡¯s start over, okay?¡± Meng Yue¡¯s gaze flickered to the hands holding her. He had not retaliated as she had expected he would. ¡°Only you would be so deluded to fool yourself into thinking I¡¯m trying to make up with you,¡± she said, prying Xiang Haoyu¡¯s hands off her, one finger at a time. ¡°That slap earlier was for your cheap mouth. A cheap mouth for a cheap man ¨C that is who you are!¡± Xiang Haoyu¡¯s face burned. He was so angry he did not know what to say. Meng Yue eyed him coldly and said, ¡°I¡¯ve waited three years for you to get your act together, but you continue to disappoint. It is a little late to try and salvage our marriage now that we¡¯re getting a divorce. That isn¡¯t how a real man would act; it is the wishy-washy flip-flopping of a coward!¡± Storm clouds seemed to rumble behind Xiang Haoyu¡¯s dark eyes. Suddenly, he grabbed Meng Yue by the shoulder and pulled her into his arms. ¡°Yueyue, I¡¯ll book us into a hotel right now¡­¡± Meng Yue struggled to break free and slapped him again! ¡°Scumbag!¡± She used far more strength this time, almost using up every ounce in that single strike, causing Xiang Haoyu¡¯s face to turn aside. Killing intent immediately spilt forth from Xiang Haoyu. Just as Meng Yue thought he would kill her, he did the unexpected: he pulled her into his embrace. ¡°Yueyue, that¡¯s enough about the divorce. Let¡¯s shelve it, alright?¡± Meng Yue struggled desperately in his arms. No! It was impossible! Things had already come to this, and she did not want to turn back. He could not break his promise! The marriage was over; they needed a divorce! She wanted a divorce at all costs! Meng Yue did not want to stay with the Xiang family even a minute longer. If she stayed, she would suffer from depression and die! Although she did not quite understand her present relationship with Mo Hanchen, the fact was it was there. She did not need her current marriage to complicate things further. Meng Yue wriggled free from Xiang Haoyu¡¯s grasp and pushed the divorce papers to him again. ¡°Xiang Haoyu, I¡¯ll ask you one last time. Are you going to sign or not?¡± Xiang Haoyu eyed the papers with fiery intent. If he could, he would have burned the documents and dumped the resulting ash in the bin. He wanted to rip, tear and utterly destroy that infuriating piece of paper that seemed to taunt him. ¡°No, I refuse to sign.¡± Meng Yue jabbed a finger toward him and said, ¡°I knew you couldn¡¯t be trusted. Nothing that comes out of that mouth is the truth!¡± She picked up her bad and prepared to leave. ¡°That¡¯s fine. I expect the penalty fee of 3 billion yuan to be paid up by 10 am tomorrow. Otherwise, the Xiang Group will be no more. From then on, the Xiang Group shall have its name changed to Meng!¡± ¡°I suggest you reconsider your decision, President Xiang. Good day.¡± With that, Meng Yue strode away. Before she could make it far, Xiang Haoyu grabbed her wrist, stopping her. ¡°Meng Yue, don¡¯t push me!¡± He glared at Meng Yue, resolving to employ drastic measures. ¡°I¡¯ll do anything if you push me too hard!¡± Meng Yue endured the painful vice clamping onto her wrist and hissed, ¡°This is your last chance. Will you sign the divorce papers or not?¡± Xiang Haoyu¡¯s eyes were alight with anger. He held Meng Yue in a crushing grip, threatening to break her bones. Meng Yue began to tear from the pain. If Xiang Haoyu did not let go soon, she would walk away with a broken wrist. ¡°Xiang Haoyu, do you want to go to prison? Filing for divorce, then, would be much easier for me.¡± At her words, Xiang Haoyu finally let go. ¡°Ah!¡± ¡°Meng Yue!¡± ¡°Good job!¡± Xiang Haoyu shot her a sarcastic sneer. ¡°I won¡¯t sign it!¡± With that, he turned and left. Meng Yue, on the other hand, collapsed in a heap like a deflated ball. She was at a loss for words to describe him. Gingerly, she nursed her throbbing wrist, tears quietly streaming down her face. Civil service personnel quickly arrived by her side. ¡°Miss, are you alright? Would you like us to phone the police?¡± Meng Yue wiped away her tears and shook her head. ¡°No. I¡¯m alright¡­ thank you.¡± After leaving the Civil Affairs Bureau, Meng Yue thought of going to the hospital, but her mind was preoccupied with her need for a divorce. Eventually, she drove to Royal View Court, not knowing why she had done so. To her surprise, a pair of jet-black eyes bore into her as soon as she stepped out of the elevator. Mo Hanchen! Mo Hanchen felt heartache when he met a familiar pair of puffy eyes. ¡°Why are you crying?¡± Chapter 35 Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio Meng Yue stepped out of the elevator and avoided him. She was not ready to face him yet. After all, he had put her in this position. If it weren¡¯t for how he forced himself on her the previous night, she would not be feeling this way. So, half of her current plight was attributable to him. Mo Hanchen clenched his fists as he watched her leave. He had already heard what happened through his informants in the Civil Affairs Bureau. Thus, he knew she had not managed to get Xiang Haoyu to sign the divorce papers. Just as she opened the door to her apartment, Mo Hanchen hugged her from behind. ¡°Be good; let me help you, okay?¡± Meng Yue stood still, tears welling up in her eyes. Mo Hanchen tightened his grip. ¡°I respect your decision to settle the divorce yourself, but I can¡¯t bear to see you like this!¡± Her divorce had made him worried all day. She was upset, but he was even more upset! Meng Yue dried her tears and turned to look at him, feeling touched. However, when she saw the wound on his forehead, she suddenly remembered what had happened in the restaurant in the afternoon. The next thing she knew, she was pushing him away, utterly disgusted. ¡°I don¡¯t need your pity. If anyone needs it, it is that celebrity you had on your arm this afternoon.¡± Meng Yue glared at the offending arm as she spoke. Mo Hanchen shivered, smug and thoroughly satisfied by her reaction. So¡­ she was jealous, it seemed. That was a good sign. Meng Yue tossed him a sidelong look. ¡°Don¡¯t hug me with those dirty arms. I¡¯m still a married woman, so don¡¯t lay your crummy hands on me!¡± She scanned her fingerprint on the lock interface as she spoke and opened the door. However, just as she was about to enter, Mo Hanchen grabbed her hand. ¡°Si si si¡­¡± Meng Yue hissed in pain. Mo Hanchen¡¯s brows furrowed, and he released her. ¡°What¡¯s wrong with your hand?¡± He wanted to check on her hand, but Meng Yue had pulled away, hiding it behind her. ¡°It has nothing to do with you!¡± Mo Hanchen tried following her into the apartment, but Meng Yue stopped him at the door. ¡°Mo Hanchen, your excessive concern isn¡¯t wanted. Please, leave me alone.¡± Disappointment faded to grey as she turned her back on him. ¡°Go and look for your celebrity if you want her affection. Go to her if you want to eat dinner.¡± Meng Yue slammed the door shut. Staring at the door, Mo Hanchen was so angry he wanted nothing more than to sink his teeth into her flesh. ¡°Meng Yue, open the door!¡± Meng Yue closed her eyes as she leaned against the door, feeling Mo Hanchen pounding his fists against the hardwood. Meng Yue had admitted it. She was jealous of Wang Ye. Mo Hanchen inhaled deeply. Had he gone too far? Then again, who asked her to be such a stubborn, prideful, and self-destructive woman? He spun around and made for the elevator, one call away from dealing with the mess. ¡°Find out what happened at the Civil Affairs Bureau!¡± Mo Hanchen received a video from Wang Ming in less than five minutes. He watched a video of Meng Yue slapping Xiang Haoyu and subconsciously touched his face. It was nice to see Xiang Haoyu getting slapped; it was not so nice if he stood in Xiang Haoyu¡¯s shoes. To think he would have the gall to book them into a hotel! No matter how he viewed the situation, it was clear Xiang Haoyu was indebted to Meng Yue. Those who owed others deserved to be beaten up! Mo Hanchen made another call. ¡°Get a few people to beat up Xiang Haoyu. Just leave him alive!¡± ¡°As you wish, Master,¡± Wang Ming¡¯s voice was full of excitement. ¨C Xiang Haoyu returned to the Xiang Group headquarters after what had transpired at the Civil Affairs Bureau. He sat at his desk for nearly an hour, perusing the documents left on his desk in a haze. He might as well have been staring into space since his mind did not process anything he read. His mind was filled with nothing but Meng Yue. Recalling her attitude towards the divorce, he waved his hand angrily, scattering two large piles of documents and strewing sheaves of paper across the floor. ¡°Meng Yue, you don¡¯t know what¡¯s good for you!¡± Unable to calm down, he pushed away his work, left the company, and went to the bar he often went to. Several girls recognised him when he stepped into the bar and soon surrounded him in droves. In the past, he would book the whole venue, treating the women that flocked to him generously, showering them with his wealth. It made him feel superior, like someone who stood far above the rabble. Sometimes, he would have fun with the women around, and at other times, he would be with his favourite, Cheng Qing. If it were any other day, he would have been more than happy to pay for their drinks, but today, he was unusually annoyed. He eyed the five women beside him and smirked. ¡°I didn¡¯t bring any money with me today, and the Xiang Group has gone bankrupt. Which one of you is willing to buy me a drink?¡± Frantic whispers and eager gossip floated in the background as the five women turned to one another. ¡°Young Master Xiang, you must be joking!¡± ¡°A starving camel is still bigger than a horse. How can you not even afford a drink?¡± ¡°That¡¯s right, that¡¯s right. We¡¯ve seen the news too. It¡¯s not that serious. Besides, even if you don¡¯t have money, your father¡¯s money is as good as your own!¡± Xiang Haoyu crossed his arms and legs. ¡°You lot aren¡¯t privy to the truth. The Xiang Group is bankrupt. The accountants are currently calculating the company¡¯s debt.¡± He regarded the five beautiful women around him and said, ¡°I¡¯ve sold all my assets, but I still owe 80 million yuan.¡± As he spoke, he picked up the glass before him and drank all the wine in one gulp. ¡°I¡¯m here to drown my sorrows in wine.¡± The disbelieving women listened for a time, but soon, they all left, one after another. ¡°What kind of person is he? Who enters a bar for a drink without any money?¡± ¡°Hah! Men these days only try to act cool.¡± ¡°Let¡¯s find someone else to drink with.¡± Not one of them was about to foot the bill for him. Xiang Haoyu laughed, a bitter, self-deprecating sound. He realised how boring and hypocritical he had been. Meng Yue used to invite him for drinks, but he always brushed her off, saying he was busy with work or someone else: chiefly the women who had left him. When he was in a particularly foul mood, he would put the phone on speaker so she could hear where he was or what he was doing. He even indulged in the mockery and ridicule aimed at her by those women who drank with him. This pain¡­ it was retribution for what he had done. He deserved it! Just then, a waiter patted him on his shoulder. ¡°Young Master Xiang, someone is looking for you!¡± Xiang Haoyu looked up but could not see through the thick smoke hanging in the air. As he struggled to his feet, a hand wrapped around his mouth, preventing him from shouting, and dragged him into a private room. The door shut, and the sounds of fists and feet against an object could be vaguely heard from outside. Five minutes later, Wang Ming left with the group of men in black. Xiang Haoyu was left unconscious. It was not until four in the morning that the staff found him when they were cleaning. The police were called, and he was quickly sent to the hospital. ¨C The next morning. Meng Yue exited her apartment to find a man sitting cross-legged outside. ¡°What are you doing sitting here?¡± When Mo Hanchen saw Meng Yue, he used the wall as a support as he struggled to stand. ¡°Si si si¡­¡± His legs were numb. Halfway up, the man¡¯s eyes flashed. With one hand on the ground and the other on the wall, he pretended to slip and fell towards Meng Yue. Meng Yue reacted, trying to arrest his fall. However, she had used the wrong hand. It was the one Xiang Haoyu had injured the previous day. She gasped in pain when she grabbed Mo Hanchen¡¯s arm but did not let go. Mo Hanchen stopped pretending and quickly steadied himself. He checked her wrist. ¡°Let me see your hand.¡± Her wrist was swollen. ¡°Meng Yue, are you dumb?¡± Meng Yue glared at him as she swept his hand aside. ¡°I am.¡± How could she fall into his trap every time if she weren¡¯t dumb? With that, Meng Yue walked towards the elevator. Chapter 36 Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio Mo Hanchen immediately followed and blocked her way. ¡°I¡¯m sorry,¡± he apologised softly. Mo Hanchen¡¯s apology gave Meng Yue goosebumps. She subconsciously rubbed her arms. Mo Hanchen saw her actions and said, ¡°My legs are numb.¡± As he said that, he limped and wanted to put his arm around her shoulder, but Meng Liang ignored him. ¡°Stay away from me!¡± Mo Hanchen pursed his lips. ¡°I couldn¡¯t sleep after I went home last night, so I came here and waited overnight for you. I¡¯ve been sitting here for three hours!¡± Meng Yue¡¯s eyes flickered, uncertain if Mo Hanchen was being truthful. ¡°Wang Ye and I are not in the kind of relationship you are thinking of,¡± Mo Hanchen began. He took two steps forward, continuing, ¡°Besides, you need to tell me if you¡¯re feeling jealous. Otherwise, I won¡¯t know whether you have feelings for me!¡± Meng Yue¡¯s grip on her handbag tightened. ¡°You¡¯re overthinking things. Why would I be jealous?¡± She pushed Mo Hanchen away with her good hand and entered the elevator. ¡°You don¡¯t have to explain your relationship with Wang Ye. Whether you decide to eat with her or hug her, none of that has anything to do with me.¡± Meng Yue breathed deeply and added, ¡°I never asked you to sit out here all night or suffer for my sake.¡± She looked up at him and said, ¡°I¡¯m a married woman; it isn¡¯t appropriate for us to be so close.¡± Her eyes conveyed her conviction as she pressed the ¡®close¡¯ button, refusing to entertain the conversation any longer. Mo Hanchen stared at Meng Yue intently. In the end, he reached out to stop the elevator just as it was about to close. Mo Hanchen¡¯s sudden action startled her, and she quickly pressed the ¡®open¡¯ button to prevent the doors from sliding shut. ¡°Mo Hanchen, you¡¯re crazy!¡± ¡°What if you get it?¡± He asked, cornering her in the elevator. ¡°Mo Hanchen, what are you doing?¡± She squeaked, frightened by his intrusion into her personal space. Meng Yue tried to slip out of the elevator under his arm, but he pulled her back. ¡°Be honest.¡± Mo Hanchen ignored her struggles, pushing her injured hand away, and locking her between the elevator and his body. ¡°You¡¯ll hurt yourself if you move.¡± The door slid shut. Like a frightened rabbit, Meng Yue¡¯s eyes widened as she stared at him. ¡°Mo Hanchen, this is an elevator!¡± ¡°I know we¡¯re in an elevator,¡± he answered, shooting the camera overhead a glance. ¡°You¡¯d better behave if you don¡¯t want me doing anything in public.¡± As he spoke, he leaned in towards her. ¡°If you try me, I¡¯ll do what I want whether or not we¡¯re in an elevator. Need I remind you of the bathroom incident?¡± Meng Yue turned pale, instantly recalling what happened on their first meeting. ¡°Hooligan!¡± Mo Hanchen¡¯s twisted in a mockery of a smile. ¡°You¡¯ve only been scolding me with these few words. Can¡¯t you say anything else?¡± Meng Liang struggled to push her away. ¡°Shameless!¡± Her eyes hardened as she tried kicking him. However, Mo Hanchen foiled her attempt, clamping onto her leg like some vicious clam. ¡°Ah. You must have been the one to kick Xiang Haoyu and send him to the hospital. Am I right?¡± He asked. Meng Yue glared. ¡°He deserved it!¡± Mo Hanchen¡¯s eyes lit up in appreciation. ¡°You can kick him, but you can¡¯t kick me!¡± Meng Yue retorted swiftly: ¡°If you act like a hooligan, I¡¯ll kick you!¡± Mo Hanchen inched closer to her face and teased her ear. ¡°You? Kick me?¡± ¡°I¡¯m going to kick you to death!¡± Meng Liang¡¯s face turned even redder. However, she could not break free from his hold. Intentionally or otherwise, Mo Hanchen, this hooligan of a man, was causing her heart to race. She tried to avoid his touch, fearing that he had heard her unconscious response. ¡°If you cripple me, no one can guarantee your future happiness.¡± No matter how chaste Meng Yue tried to be, Mo Hanchen was sure to lead her astray. ¡°Mo Hanchen, shut up!¡± Her face was bright pink, the colour of a ripe peach. Using her uninjured hand, she pinched him brutally. Mo Hanchen stiffened. He did not feel pain, no. It was closer to a throbbing welling up from the depths of his soul. ¡°Yueyue¡­¡± Meng Yue looked up and met Mo Hanchen¡¯s deep gaze. If she still did not know what the man was thinking at such a time, her life would have been in vain. ¡°Hooligan!¡± This time, Meng Yue was actually angry. ¡°Mo Hanchen, I¡¯ll say it again: I¡¯m married! I¡¯m a married woman. We can¡¯t be together!¡± Mo Hanchen¡¯s expression turned cold. ¡°Back with calling yourself a married woman, are you?¡± ¡°Meng Yue, are you using the excuse of ¡®being married¡¯ to reject me? Or is it to remind yourself of your legal status?¡± Meng Yue looked down, unable to refute him. The sadness in her eyes hurt Mo Hanchen. ¡°Well? Which is it?¡± Mo Hanchen asked. Meng Yue looked up, tears welling in her resentment-filled eyes. ¡°Mo Hanchen, stop forcing me!¡± Mo Hanchen switched tactics. ¡°Xiang Haoyu isn¡¯t as honest as you think. He is a man of no credibility. Reason and contractual obligations won¡¯t work for him.¡± ¡°I¡¯ll stop forcing you, but I¡¯ll take things into my own hands. I¡¯ll settle the divorce for you,¡± he said. Meng Yue frowned. ¡°Don¡¯t. I¡¯ll handle it myself!¡± Struggling with all her might, she continued, ¡°You¡¯re not anyone to me right now. Don¡¯t stick your nose where it doesn¡¯t belong!¡± However, Mo Hanchen did not release her. Her struggles were in vain. Mo Hanchen felt he was going to go crazy at this rate. ¡°Meng Yue, I dare you to repeat yourself!¡± Meng Yue trembled in the face of Mo Hanchen¡¯s cold rage, but she persevered. ¡°You aren¡¯t anything to me yet, so stop meddling in my affairs!¡± No sooner had she spoken than a loud bang resounded next to her ears. Mo Hanchen had punched the elevator wall, causing the lift to shake violently. Meng Yue was shocked by the casual display of violence and subconsciously shielded her head. ¡°Mo Hanchen, are you crazy?¡± Mo Hanchen¡¯s eyes were bloodshot. ¡°So what if I am?!¡± ¡°Meng Yue, you¡¯re driving me crazy!¡± After saying that, the man bit her shoulder like a madman. He wanted to tear her apart, to bite off her flesh as compensation for her ruthless disregard for him. ¡°Stop; It hurts!¡± Her pleas fell on deaf ears. Mo Hanchen only stopped when he tasted blood. Staring at her frightened gaze, he gently wiped the tears dripping down her cheeks. ¡°Meng Yue, don¡¯t ever say you¡¯re a ¡®married woman¡¯ again. You can¡¯t fool me.¡± Mo Hanchen forced her to look into his eyes. ¡°You may be married, but you¡¯re still mine!¡± More quietly, he added, ¡°Or would you prefer I inform Xiang Haoyu that we¡¯ve already done ¡®it¡¯, that you¡¯ve given me your first time?¡± Meng Yue lost all colour on her face, and she shook her head rapidly to say no. ¡°You can¡¯t!¡± ¡°You can¡¯t!¡± ¡°You can¡¯t!¡± Mo Hanchen nearly fell to insanity once more, hearing her pain-filled screams. He held her hand against his chest, where his heart pounded feverishly. ¡°Can you feel that? It¡¯s me going crazy. You¡¯re driving me crazy!¡± Meng Yue, having no choice, felt the thunderous beats of Mo Hanchen¡¯s heart against her skin. That did not stop her from looking away, avoiding eye contact as much as she could. She would never fake her divorce; she had too much pride to cling to a relationship that would never work. Mo Hanchen was right about one thing. Xiang Haoyu was a scumbag, and he would likely do everything in his power to foil her chances of being free of him. Yet, she could not lead Mo Hanchen on when her position was still precarious. If word got out about her relationship with him, not only would she and her family suffer, but so would he and the Moyun Group. Moreover, was Mo Hanchen someone she could entrust her life to? She did not know. Why would he behave so intimately with Wang Ye if they weren¡¯t in a relationship? Even if it had all been an act, no one acts so convincingly unless there is some truth behind what they¡¯re doing. Outside of her marriage to Xiang Haoyu, Meng Yue had always prided herself on her rational mind. She could not afford to let down her guard around someone else, especially not if that someone was Mo Hanchen. Chapter 37 Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio She stared determinedly at the man before her. ¡°Mo Hanchen, I can¡¯t promise you anything.¡± ¡°I¡­ I thank you for your kind consideration, but I must insist on propriety. I¡¯m married. There has to be a line drawn between us.¡± She said it! She said what he had told her he did not want to hear. A slow, bubbling laughter grew manic as Mo Hanchen felt his insides wither. ¡°Ha¡­ Haha! I understand. I shan¡¯t bother you anymore.¡± He stepped out of the elevator, blood dripping from his hand. Meng Yue stood paralysed, her eyes burning with unshed tears. She did not know if it was because she felt bad for him or herself. The wound she sustained still throbbed painfully¡­ Hardening her heart, she thought to herself that Mo Hanchen deserved it. They had hurt each other, and they were both in pain. If two people shared the same suffering, was that not poetic justice? One fate shared by the two of them. Even though her heart yearned to be with him, her mind and soul could not. Not now. Not while she was still shackled in a loveless marriage. Meng Yue wanted to say she loved him with her head held high; she was too proud to do otherwise. Mo Hanchen¡¯s lonely silhouette flashed in her mind¡¯s eyes every time she closed her eyes. It brought an unbearable ache that refused to go away. ¨C Mo Hanchen had returned upstairs. He sat in his chair, the curtains draping the dark study in shifting shadows. He would not give up. Not when he had set his sights on someone or something. ¡°Meng Yue, you¡¯ll return, and when you do, you¡¯ll beg me for help!¡± He eyed the dried blood gone black on his hand and thought of how he had bitten her. He could almost taste the sweet fragrance tickling the tip of his tongue. Mo Hanchen licked his chapped lips and growled, ¡°I¡¯ll bite you to death, Meng Yue!¡± Meng Yue would not be so arrogant if she felt a little more pain. Mo Hanchen laughed. So many people wanted to build a connection with him, but she was the only one he wanted. Yet, she refused his advances, stubbornly clinging to an invisible line she had drawn in imaginary sand. The more she pushed him away, the more he wanted to get closer. Not long after, Mo Hanchen made a call. ¡°How¡¯s Xiang Haoyu doing?¡± Wang Ming could not hide his self-satisfaction. ¡°He was utterly useless!¡± ¡°I want you to follow ¡®her¡¯ closely,¡± Mo Hanchen said. Wang Ming naturally knew who Mo Hanchen was referring to. Still, his new assignment puzzled him. ¡°Since Miss Meng and Xiang Haoyu didn¡¯t get a divorce, does that mean that Xiang Haoyu will transfer three billion to Miss Meng? If not, Miss Meng will need to enforce the contract through the Meng Group¡­¡± Mo Hanchen laughed coldly. ¡°You¡¯re overthinking things.¡± ¡°According to the terms of their agreement, the Xiang Group has one month to pay the penalty for not upholding his side of the bargain. If Xiang Haoyu is shameless enough, he¡¯ll likely counter-sue the Meng Group, and with legal procedures as they are, it might be more than three years before a verdict is reached!¡± Mo Hanchen¡¯s expression darkened. ¡°I don¡¯t have the time to wait three years for her!¡± Honestly, even a second longer was too much. Wang Ming understood. ¡°I see. Xiang Haoyu is a scumbag that hopes to drag Miss Meng through the mud! Master, this Xiang Haoyu is doing this to torment you.¡± Mo Hanchen heaved a sigh of relief. ¡°Not bad! Since he¡¯s having fun messing with me, why should I play nice and let him have what he wants?¡± He, Mo Hanchen, had never been a good person. ¡°Master, should I go beat him up again?¡± Wang Ming asked cheekily. ¡°There¡¯s no need,¡± Mo Hanchen replied. ¡°Since contractual means would take too long, we¡¯ll take another route.¡± Hesitantly, Wang Ming said, ¡°Master means¡­¡± Pausing to collect his thoughts, Wang Ming asked, ¡°Do you want me to catch him committing adultery?¡± Mo Hanchen nodded in appreciation. ¡°Exactly!¡± ¡°Investigate Cheng Qing and all the women Xiang Haoyu has had affairs with,¡± Mo Hanchen ordered. ¡°Yes, Master.¡± Wang Ming responded without hesitation. ¡°If you need me to find someone, beat them up and get away without being discovered, then I¡¯m the man for the job.¡± Mo Hanchen chided softly, ¡°Hmm, don¡¯t go overboard.¡± As an add-on, he said, ¡°If Meng Yue does anything, let me know immediately.¡± ¡°Yes!¡± ¨C At the capital¡¯s first hospital¡­ Xiang Haoyu awoke to the sound of his phone ringing. He sat up with difficulty, pressing his swollen abdomen, which elicited a yelp. It was then that he realised he was in a hospital. His mind cleared as he inspected his surroundings and remembered how he had been beaten up. ¡°If I find out who did this to me, they¡¯ll wish they were never born!¡± The call was from his assistant, Guo Rui. ¡°What is it?¡± ¡°President Xiang, the finance department just received a call from the Meng Group. They want us to pay up what is due. They¡¯ve said that if the money is not transferred by 10 am, they¡¯ll file for a full accounting of the company¡¯s assets,¡± Guo Rui said. Xiang Haoyu¡¯s face instantly turned ashen. Meng Yue was beyond ruthless! Panicking, Guo Rui urgently sought further instructions, ¡°President Xiang, what do we do?¡± ¡°Wait!¡± Xiang Haoyu hurriedly said. He tried calling Meng Yue, but the call did not go through. ¡°That woman!¡± ¡°Hah! So she wants to play ball with me? Fine!¡± Xiang Haoyu cursed. If he had to get nasty for her to fall in line, he would do it. It was 9:40 am when he arrived at the Xiang Group. There were only twenty minutes left before the deadline. Several cars embossed with Meng Group¡¯s logo were parked outside the building. Entering the building as he was, Xiang Haoyu cut quite the sorry sight. He tried calling Meng Yue again. This time, the call connected. ¡°Meng Yue, where are you now?¡± ¡°Meng Yue laughed coldly. ¡°Xiang Haoyu, the word ¡®cheap¡¯ suits you well!¡± She did not want to waste her breath on him, so she said, ¡°I¡¯m on my way to the Civil Affairs Bureau now.¡± Xiang Haoyu grew even angrier. ¡°Meng Yue, don¡¯t you feel an ounce of guilt forcing me into this position?¡± Meng Yue burst into a bout of laughter that sputtered into small coughs. ¡°Why would I? My heart is numb when it comes to you. I can¡¯t feel any more pain!¡± ¡°Meet me in the Civil Affairs Bureau or prepare yourself for an accounting of the Xiang Group¡¯s assets. It¡¯s your choice.¡± Xiang Haoyu trembled with anger. ¡°I can¡¯t do either of them right now. I¡¯m in the hospital. I¡¯ll sue you for assault and battery if I must!¡± Meng Yue¡¯s expression clouded over as she stared at her phone incredulously. How did he end up in a hospital? Did someone beat him up? If she did not do it, then¡­ She suddenly had a bad feeling. Meng Yue headed for the hospital instead. When she arrived, she tried calling Xiang Haoyu. She did this four times, but he did not pick up the phone. Just as Meng Yue was about to storm out of the hospital, believing she had been tricked, Xiang Haoyu appeared behind her. Meng Yue was about to give him a dressing down when she noticed how bloodied and bruised he was. Xiang Haoyu sneered. ¡°Are you afraid I¡¯ll sue you?¡± Meng Liang snorted. ¡°You¡¯ll need evidence to sue me! ¡°Since you aren¡¯t so hurt as to be stuck in bed, will you follow me to the Civil Affairs Bureau, or would you rather transfer the money you owe? We could always go through the Xiang Group¡¯s assets together to see how much you¡¯d need to liquidate to repay the sum owed.¡± Xiang Haoyu rolled his eyes. When he saw a doctor coming over, he collapsed on the ground, screaming, ¡°Help! Help!¡± Meng Yue stomped her feet as she witnessed Xiang Haoyu¡¯s shameless behaviour. ¡°Xiang Haoyu, why don¡¯t you just go and die?!¡± Xiang Haoyu, who was lying on the ground, snorted coldly. ¡°Why should I let you live the good life after I die?!¡± He fixed a dead-eyed stare at Meng Yue. ¡°The three billion yuan is off the table. If you think you can sue me and get what you want, think again! I have plenty of time to counter-sue and appeal against the decision if it is ruled in your favour. Besides, the agreement between the Xiang and Meng families was never ratified; it was a gentleman¡¯s agreement between our two families. If you coerce me into getting this divorce, I¡¯ll sue you for blackmail!¡± Meng Yue¡¯s eyebrows twitched involuntarily. ¡°Xiang Haoyu, you despicable swine!¡± Venting her frustration, she kicked him twice, saying, ¡°I¡¯ll have my revenge!¡± Xiang Haoyu guffawed. As the doctor drew closer, he shouted at the top of his lungs, ¡°Oh my God! It hurts! Help!¡± ¡°This is domestic violence!¡± ¡°My wife is going to kick me to death¡­!¡± Meng Yue lashed out twice more as Xiang Haoyu shot her a challenging look. How could there be a man so trashy in the whole wide world?! Chapter 38 Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio While the doctor called for a stretcher to lift him, Xiang Haoyu¡¯s phone rang. He answered it. ¡°Have you found out who assaulted me?¡± His eyes lit up. ¡°Are you saying that Mo Hanchen¡¯s men attacked me?¡± Meng Yue was caught unaware by the casual use of ¡®Mo Hanchen¡¯s name¡¯. Xiang Haoyu continued listening to whoever it was on the other end of the line. He spared Meng Yue a glance from the corner of his eye and saw her mounting concern, which she could not hide. Anger erupted like lava from a volcano. ¡°Meng Yue, you¡¯ve played a very nice trick!¡± Xiang Haoyu seethed through clenched teeth. Meng Yue¡¯s eyes flickered with uncertainty. ¡°Xiang Haoyu, don¡¯t you dare take that tone with me!¡± Xiang Haoyu sneered as he got off the floor. He strode up to Meng Yue and asked, ¡°Why do you think I¡¯m all black and blue?¡± ¡°You must have overheard bits of the conversation earlier. So why don¡¯t you tell me?¡± He mocked. Meng Yue remained silent but subconsciously took two steps back. ¡°Since you won¡¯t say anything, then I shall,¡± he snarled. ¡°Mo Hanchen ordered his men to beat me up! That¡¯s what happened!¡± Meng Yue deflected, saying, ¡°What has he got to do with me?¡± Seeing Meng Yue retreating, Xiang Haoyu cut across her and closed the door. ¡°Don¡¯t play dumb with me!¡± ¡°Don¡¯t tell me you have no clue how I got these injuries,¡± Xiang Haoyu laughed, high and raw. Meng Yue pursed her lips, ready to defend herself if things turned violent. ¡°Just because you¡¯ve wandered the late-night streets and committed heinous deeds doesn¡¯t mean everyone else is like you!¡± Xiang Haoyu¡¯s eyes narrowed. ¡°Is that so?¡± He pulled Meng Yue towards him before slamming her against the door. The act was so sudden that she had no chance to defend herself. Frightened out of her wits, she screamed, ¡°Help! Someone help!¡± However, she was quickly silenced. Xiang Haoyu had covered her mouth, strangling the air from her lungs. ¡°Tell me honestly, does he know that we¡¯re getting a divorce? Is he waiting in the wings to become your new plaything?¡± Meng Yue struggled against Xiang Haoyu¡¯s weight, pinning her in place. Her heart took a nose-dive as she greeted rage-fueled hate. ¡°Not everyone is as filthy as you!¡± Xiang Haoyu sneered. ¡°Hah!¡± Abruptly, he closed the distance between them, chasing an invisible shadow to the nape of her neck. He breathed in her scent and marvelled at the unrestrained fragrance she emitted. Meng Yue was so scared she redoubled her efforts to break free. ¡°Let me go!¡± Even though his whole body ached after Meng Yue kicked him, Xiang Haoyu held fast, refusing to give an inch. ¡°I¡¯ve truly been stupid. I have a beautiful wife, yet I always went out for those daily excursions.¡± As he spoke, the tip of his nose brushed against Meng Yue¡¯s ear, trailing down to her succulent lips and ending in a kiss. ¡°Xiang Haoyu, you rotten apple!¡± Xiang Haoyu laughed. Instead of getting angry, he admonished, ¡°Yes, you¡¯re right. I¡¯m a filthy, rotten apple!¡± ¡°The more you rant and rage, the more excited I get,¡± he murmured. ¡°Ah! Help¡­ Someone help¡­¡± A knock at the door interrupted his fun. Xiang Haoyu¡¯s eyes turned into twin pinpricks of ice. He did not take kindly to being disturbed while he was enjoying himself. Meng Yue used the opportunity to push Xiang Haoyu away and wrench the door open. She was out of the room in an instant. Wang Ming hid in an alcove just as the door swung open, and Meng Yue rushed past. Meng Yue dried her tears in the relative safety of the elevator, fishing out a wet tissue from her handbag to wipe the places Xiang Haoyu had touched her. She felt dirty, defiled by the touch of someone so filthy that it filled her heart with anguish. Her eyes were still red and puffy when she got into her car. She had scratched a bloody wound where Xiang Haoyu had laid his grimy fingers. ¡°Scumbag!¡± Meng Yue knew something was wrong with her. She had never felt so disgusted or humiliated, not even when Mo Hanchen had kissed or bitten her. Though those actions were intimate, they did not evoke the same complete revulsion she felt toward Xiang Haoyu. A mere touch and she felt like she needed a shower. Could it be that¡­ No. Had she already accepted Mo Hanchen from the bottom of her heart? Meng Yue did not think Xiang Haoyu would let the matter rest, not from the tone of his voice, at least. She grabbed her phone and was about to make the call when she stopped. She hesitated because of what had transpired earlier that morning. ¨C Meanwhile¡­ Wang Ming reported the incident to Mo Hanchen. Mo Hanchen¡¯s grip on his phone tightened. ¡°Are you saying Xiang Haoyu raped her?¡± Wang Ming: ¡°I¡¯m not sure. When I got there, they were probably entangled, but I have no proof.¡± A cold fire burned in Mo Hanchen¡¯s eyes. ¡°It seems Xiang Haoyu hasn¡¯t had enough of a beating.¡± Wang Ming¡¯s eyes lit up. ¡°Master means¡­¡± Mo Hanchen pursed his lips. ¡°Give him such a beating that he won¡¯t be able to get out of bed for a month!¡± Wang Ming immediately responded, ¡°As you command! However, this subordinate does not understand one thing.¡± ¡°Speak!¡± Mo Hanchen said. ¡°Why does Master wish for me to leave evidence so that Xiang Haoyu will learn who is out to get him?¡± Wang Ming asked. Mo Hanchen answered, though somewhat exasperated. ¡°If I don¡¯t direct his anger and attention to me, what if he goes crazy and does something to Meng Yue? Besides, if I provoke a response from him, it¡¯ll be much easier to collect evidence of an extramarital affair.¡± Mo Hanchen¡¯s eyes shone gleefully. ¡°Since he wants to play, I shall play with him!¡± Mo Hanchen had just hung up on Wang Ming when Meng Yue called. Seeing her name flash on his screen, he could not help but smile. Hah! Since Meng Yue dared to fight him, he would ensure she paid for it by worrying about his health and safety. Mo Hanchen did not pick up the call and instead muted his phone. He worked while enjoying the feeling of being remembered. Meng Yue called three times, but Mo Hanchen did not answer his phone. She was so mad that she smacked her steering wheel and cursed, ¡°That scoundrel!¡± She checked the wound he had inflicted earlier that morning. It was still red and bruised. Grinding her teeth, Meng Yue stepped on the pedal, and her car responded, shooting off into the distance. Twenty minutes later, Meng Yue arrived outside the Moyun Group¡¯s building. It was her third time visiting the Moyun Group. The first time had been to apologise. That failed. The second time was to seek cooperation. That, too, failed. Today would be her third time seeing him at his office, and she idly wondered if it would also fail. As soon as Meng Yue stepped into the reception hall, the young lady who had received her previously came forward to welcome her. ¡°Hello! How may I help you?¡± Meng Yue forced a smile to match the warmth of Nan Xin¡¯s greeting. ¡°Hello, I would like to arrange a meeting with President Mo.¡± Embarrassed by Nan Xin¡¯s awkward stare, Meng Yue tried introducing herself. ¡°Umm¡­ I¡¯m Meng Yue of the Meng Group.¡± Nan Xin nodded in recognition, saying, ¡°I know. Please hold on for a moment as I check with the President¡¯s secretary.¡± While Nan Xin reported the situation to her superiors, Meng Yue was invited to wait in one of their conference rooms. ¨C In the president¡¯s office¡­ Mo Yu knocked on the door to report Meng Yue¡¯s arrival. Mo Hanchen¡¯s eyes sparkled. She was here! Now she was being proactive! Did she need to reject him so ruthlessly that morning? He eyed his phone smugly, seeing three missed calls from Meng Yue. ¡°I won¡¯t see her,¡± he told Mo Yu quite shamelessly. Did Meng Yue think she could dump him whenever she wanted and expect to see him whenever she could? Did she think that he, Mo Hanchen, did not care about his reputation? Mo Yu¡¯s mouth twitched. ¡°Are you certain, President Mo?¡± Mo Hanchen gave him a sidelong glance. ¡°Do I need to repeat myself?¡± Mo Yu immediately shook his head. ¡°Of course not! I¡¯m merely concerned that someone will vent their frustration on me later.¡± As he spoke, Mo Yu rubbed his shoulders and then his stomach. ¡°I haven¡¯t recovered from the injuries you gave me two days ago!¡± Mo Hanchen accepted the docket, briefly scanning through the documents. ¡°If you don¡¯t want to be beaten up, go down and give her my reply now! If you make her wait, I might feel the urge to beat you up again.¡± Mo Yu quickly packed up the documents, saying, ¡°President Mo, it must have been hard for her to set aside her pride and come here. It shows how much she cares about you. Now you¡¯re acting cold and arrogant again. Aren¡¯t you concerned that you might be going overboard?¡± Mo Hanchen kicked his unruly subordinate. ¡°Shut your darned mouth! I don¡¯t need you spreading bad luck.¡± Mo Yu glared at his boss. ¡°Do I need to teach you how to speak the language of love?¡± Chapter 39 Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio Mo Yu angrily patted the dust off his legs, his eyes flashing. ¡°Then, how would you like me to respond to Miss Meng?¡± Mo Hanchen paused in the middle of signing another document. ¡°Tell her I¡¯m busy and won¡¯t have the time to see her. Tell her I don¡¯t need her fake concern!¡± Mo Yu exited the president¡¯s office with a bellyful of hatred. ¡°I¡¯ll let you play smug; I¡¯ll let you be as smug as you want!¡± he muttered, ¡°If you want to act cool, don¡¯t come crying when things don¡¯t go your way in the future!¡± Meng Yue waited and waited, but instead of Mo Hanchen, Mo Yu appeared. She froze when she saw Mo Yu. Soon, she recalled who he was: Mo Hanchen¡¯s pitiful assistant whom he often beat up. Meng Yue took the initiative to greet him. ¡°Hello!¡± Mo Yu politely returned the greeting, ¡°Hello, Miss Meng. I¡¯m President Mo¡¯s assistant. I¡¯m not sure if you remember me¡­ My name is Mo Yu.¡± Meng Yue nodded. ¡°It¡¯s nice to meet you.¡± When Mo Yu greeted her, he caught sight of the redness around her neck. Why was her neck so red? Did Mo Hanchen do something to her again? Had he seen a ghost? ¡°Special Assistant Mo, Mo Hanchen, he¡­¡± Mo Yu got straight down to business. ¡°Miss Meng, my apologies. President Mo is very busy and does not have the time to meet you.¡± Meng Yue frowned. She had guessed as much when Mo Hanchen refused to answer her call. He was being petty again. Still, her conscience would not allow her not to try and warn him of Xiang Haoyu¡¯s designs. Alas, if he was not willing to hear her out, there was nothing she could do; she had already done her best. Meng Yue got up, appearing slightly embarrassed. ¡°Thank you for informing me. I shan¡¯t keep you any longer.¡± Mo Yu sent Meng Yue off. Before she got into her car, she apologised to Mo Yu. ¡°I¡¯m sorry if President Mo hit you because of me. Please accept my apology.¡± Mo Yu¡¯s eyes lit up. ¡°Miss Meng, perchance, do you wish to know why I was beaten up the other time?¡± Meng Yue tilted her head questioningly. Mo Yu laughed, subconsciously touching his chest. ¡°Miss Meng, you never cease to surprise me every time I meet you!¡± Meng Yue blinked in confusion, asking, ¡°What surprises have I brought?¡± She recalled the last time she was in Moyun City and drew a blank. ¡°I don¡¯t think I¡¯ve anything to warrant surprise or implicate you in President Mo¡¯s anger.¡± Mo Yu smiled helplessly. ¡°You may not be the death of him, but he would gladly lay down his life for you.¡± Meng Yue frowned. ¡°Forgive me for my ignorance, but I don¡¯t understand what you¡¯re saying.¡± Mo Yu remained smiling as he gazed towards President Mo¡¯s office on the top floor. At that moment, Mo Hanchen was leaning against the floor-to-ceiling window and looking at them. Meng Yue followed Mo Yu¡¯s gaze. She had been to Mo Hanchen¡¯s office before. Even though she could not see the figure clearly, she was almost certain he was eyeing them. Mo Yu looked away, smirking cheekily. ¡°You aren¡¯t dumb, yet your ability to judge people seems lacking.¡± Xiang Haoyu was an example, and Mo Hanchen was another. The former was a filthy scumbag, while the latter was petty and full of schemes. Meng Yue paused, not knowing how to respond. Eventually, she began, ¡°Special Assistant Mo¡­¡± Mo Yu came back to his senses and quickly apologised. ¡°I¡¯m sorry; I didn¡¯t mean it that way.¡± A frown marred her features. ¡°What do you mean?¡± With complete seriousness, Mo Yu said, ¡°I deserved to be beaten that time because I forgot to tell President Mo that his father-in-law was around.¡± Mo Yu excused himself as soon as he delivered that cryptic message. A thousand different emotions warred. Meng Yue panicked, grew flustered, and even her ears turned red. Father-in-law? It was too early! Meng Yue quickly departed soon after. ¨C Meanwhile¡­ Mo Yu, who had just stepped out of the elevator, was beaten up by Mo Hanchen again! Mo Yu lay sprawled on the carpet, looking like he was on the verge of death. ¡°Master, you can¡¯t bully your subordinates like this!¡± Mo Hanchen put on his suit jacket, saying, ¡°I¡¯m not bullying you; I¡¯m educating you. You shouldn¡¯t tease another man¡¯s woman. Please learn the proper etiquette in dealing with women.¡± Mo Yu felt wronged. ¡°Master, you can¡¯t be feeling jealous of me after one short interaction with Miss Meng, can you?¡± ¡°Is there a problem?¡± Mo Hanchen asked. Mo Yu chuckled. ¡°If me talking to Miss Meng is enough to make you jealous, you¡¯ll die of jealousy if someone snatches her from your clutches.¡± ¡°What do you mean?¡± Mo Hanchen pressed. Mo Yu danced around the question and said, ¡°I want a week¡¯s holiday!¡± Mo Hanchen raised an eyebrow. ¡°Granted!¡± Mo Yu scrambled to his feet, picking up his discarded jacket as he was about to leave. ¡°Miss Meng¡¯s neck was rather red when I saw her off earlier.¡± He stopped at the door as he spoke. Based on his many years of experience in the ways of love, Mo Yu concluded that someone must have touched her. Mo Hanchen¡¯s expression immediately darkened. Mo Yu decided to fuel the fire by adding, ¡°Her skin looked like it broke in a few places. I¡¯m not sure how that happened¡­¡± Mo Yu stepped out of the office, having said his piece, leaving Mo Hanchen in a daze. Not long after, Mo Hanchen gave Wang Ming a call. ¡°I¡¯ll deal with Xiang Haoyu myself!¡± When Mo Hanchen and Wang Ming arrived at the hospital, Xiang Haoyu discussed how to deal with Mo Hanchen and the Moyun Group with his lawyer. Xiang Haoyu, lying on the sofa in his private room, sat a little straighter when Mo Hanchen pushed open the door and entered. It was an unconscious reaction that could not fool anyone. Xiang Haoyu was afraid of Mo Hanchen. Or at least, the pain he currently felt made him fear what Mo Hanchen could do to him. ¡°What are you doing here?¡± Xiang Haoyu¡¯s words were harsh, but his actions carried none of the bite that his words did. He shrank into the sofa, trying to make himself as small as possible. ¡°How dare you come here after what you did to me! Just you wait; I¡¯ll sue you till you go bankrupt!¡± The lawyer Xiang Haoyu consulted was so shocked to learn that the man standing before him was Mo Hanchen that he stood up. ¡°President Mo! I¡¯ve long heard of your great name!¡± Mo Hanchen smiled and nodded. ¡°There¡¯s nothing to worry about. I may beat people up, but I don¡¯t eat them.¡± He glanced at Wang Ming, who stood by the door as he spoke. Wang Ming entered the room upon receiving Mo Hanchen¡¯s signal. ¡°You must be Lawyer Chen! President Mo would like a quick word in private with President Xiang. Could you join me outside for a moment?¡± Wang Ming did not give Lawyer Chen a chance to refuse, half-dragging the man out of the room and sealing the door behind him. Mo Hanchen was already on his feet, slowly stalking his prey. Xiang Haoyu tried to flee, but Mo Hanchen punched him in the gut, driving the wind out of him. Xiang Haoyu dropped like a sack of potatoes. ¡°Mo Hanchen!¡± Xiang Haoyu clutched his abdomen. He felt as if all his organs had turned to mush in a horrific stew of pain. ¡°You!¡± Mo Hanchen sneered, grabbing Xiang Haoyu by his collar, the latter screaming for help. ¡°I overheard you and your lawyer discussing how you¡¯d like to sue me to death. Is that right?¡± Xiang Haoyu¡¯s face was pale from the pain, but he answered honestly. ¡°Yes. I¡¯m going to sue you till you¡¯re behind bars!¡± Mo Hanchen laughed like he had heard the best joke in a long time. ¡°Is that so?¡± Xiang Haoyu¡¯s eyes gleamed viciously. ¡°Are you waiting for her to get the divorce? Ha! Dream on!¡± ¡°I¡¯d rather toy with her till she¡¯s crippled than divorce her. Just give up,¡± Xiang Haoyu crowed. Mo Hanchen¡¯s eyes were pinpricks of obsidian, two void-swallowing holes upon hearing Xiang Haoyu¡¯s declaration. Xiang Haoyu saw the look that passed over Mo Hanchen and instantly felt joy. ¡°Mo Hanchen, I¡¯d rather die than help you two get together!¡± Pushed passed his bottom line, Mo Hanchen acted. He punched Xiang Haoyu in the stomach again. The force of Mo Hanchen¡¯s strike was so great that it sent Xiang Haoyu flying from the sofa to the window, slamming into the wall and collapsing in a heap on the ground. ¡°Mo Hanchen, I¡¯ll kill you!¡± Chapter 40 Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio However, before Xiang Haoyu could get back up, Mo Hanchen lifted him into the air with one hand and punched him in the eye. ¡°Open your eyes and see who¡¯s about to kill who!¡± Mo Hanchen¡¯s fist slammed into Xiang Haoyu¡¯s other eye. ¡°If you dare to curse at me again, I¡¯ll make sure you greet the King of Hell!¡± Those two punches had left Xiang Haoyu¡¯s eyes red and swollen. Before Xiang Haoyu could cry out in pain, Mo Hanchen stepped on his right ankle. ¡°Ah¡­!¡± Xiang Haoyu felt like his ankle was going to break! He whimpered pitifully, drenched in a cold sweat. ¡°Let go of me¡­¡± Mo Hanchen snorted, raising his leg to step on Xiang Haoyu¡¯s left ankle instead. The crisp sound of bones breaking echoed in the room. ¡°Si si si¡­¡± ¡°Ah¡­!¡± Xiang Haoyu¡¯s face contorted in pain. ¡°Mo Hanchen¡­!¡± Mo Hanchen smirked. ¡°This time, I¡¯ll leave your third leg intact! If you dare lay a finger on Meng Yue again, I¡¯ll ensure no one will ever think of you as a man again!¡± Mo Hanchen stomped on Xiang Haoyu¡¯s lower abdomen to drive his point home. Xiang Haoyu was so scared he began crawling backwards, doing anything he could to distance himself from Mo Hanchen. ¡°No¡­¡± Mo Hanchen stopped. ¡°Xiang Haoyu, you should be glad I¡¯m not as bad as you. Otherwise, you would have become a eunuch a long time ago!¡± Mo Hanchen cleaned his hands with a wet tissue from the coffee table. ¡°Come at me if you have something to say. Glaring at Xiang Haoyu coldly, he continued, ¡°What kind of man goes after a woman?¡± He stopped at the door, adding, ¡°I don¡¯t need your help to get to her. If you dare mess around with the divorce again, I won¡¯t be breaking just your arms and legs. What you¡¯ve experienced now will be nothing compared to what I¡¯ll do to you next time.¡± The door slammed shut. Xiang Haoyu did not even have the strength to call for help. Only around lunch, when a nurse entered to check what he would like to eat, was Xiang Haoyu found unconscious on the floor, having fainted from the pain. Mo Hanchen took the initiative to call Meng Yue after he left the hospital with Wang Ming. Meng Yue was on her way to Yongsheng when she received Mo Hanchen¡¯s call. Yongsheng was one of the most powerful companies in the capital city, comparable to Mo Hanchen¡¯s Moyun Group. Since she had taken over the Xiang Group¡¯s stagnant projects, Meng Yue could not allow them to fail in her hands. Moreover, if those four projects were completed well, they would greatly benefit the Meng family¡¯s development over the next ten years. Therefore, regardless of her stalling divorce proceedings with Xiang Haoyu, she had to do her best to make sure they were a success. Her success would pave the way for the Meng Group¡¯s future. As for why Meng Yue had not gone to Mo Hanchen for help? The reason was that she wanted to save face. Mo Hanchen had already said he did not want to work with the Meng family, and Meny Yue¡¯s pride prevented her from stooping so low as to beg for his assistance. Meng Yue did not want anything to do with the Moyun Group, especially when she had such an awkward and ambiguous relationship with Mo Hanchen. Meng Yue saw the caller ID and looked at her father. Before she could answer it, however, the call cut off. Not long after, she received a WeChat message notification. [ Where are you? ] [ Answer the phone! ] In under two hours, their relationship had reversed. In the morning, Mo Hanchen ignored her. Now, it was time for her revenge! Meng Yue switched her phone to silent mode, turned it off, and dropped it in her handbag. Out of sight, out of mind! When they arrived at Yongsheng, Meng Yue deliberately kept her phone in her handbag, refusing to look at it. ¨C Wang Ming rubbed his nose, taking in his master¡¯s thunderous appearance. As he thought of ways to comfort his boss, Mo Yu appeared. ¡°Karma catches up to everyone, doesn¡¯t it?¡± Wang Ming¡¯s eyes flashed. ¡°What do you mean?¡± Mo Yu recounted what transpired earlier that morning and how Mo Hanchen refused to meet Meng Yue. Wang Ming had nothing to say. What could he say, anyway? This was a classic instance of reaping what you sowed. While Mo Yu and Wang Ming talked, Mo Hanchen furiously dialled and sent messages to Meng Yue through his phone. When he still could not get a response, he threw the things on his desk, littering them all over the floor. Mo Yu looked at the document in his hand. He needed President Mo¡¯s signature, but no way was he putting himself in range of his wrath. To enter now would be the height of stupidity since he would not be able to escape unscathed. Ah¡­ That vacation he had asked for seemed to flit further and further away¡­ No wonder President Mo was not having much luck with Miss Meng if he behaved arrogantly and unruly as he did before her. Mo Hanchen glared at his phone. He was so angry he wanted nothing more than to kill Meng Yue for her impertinence. She, who stubbornly refused to answer his calls and messages, would be the death of him. Just then, Wang Ming¡¯s phone rang. Mo Yu noticed Wang Ming tense up upon seeing the caller ID. With a devilish smile, he prepared to make himself scarce. ¡°Good luck!¡± Wang Ming gulped nervously and pulled Mo Yu aside, preventing him from leaving. ¡°Brother Mo, do you Master will punish me?¡± Mo Yu laughed. ¡°If you don¡¯t pick up, I¡¯m certain you¡¯ll receive a thorough ¡®education¡¯.¡± Wang Ming released Mo Yu and answered the call. ¡°Master! How may I be of service?¡± ¡°Where¡¯s Meng Yue?¡± ¡°Please give me a second,¡± Wang Ming implored, ¡°I¡¯ll have her exact location in another 30 seconds!¡± Wang Ming quickly called his subordinates. Thankfully, he had had the foresight to arrange a tail on Miss Meng. It took Mo Hanchen less than half an hour to drive to Yongsheng¡¯s building. When the security guards saw the car¡¯s license plate number, 88888, they immediately reported to their superiors and soon, a receptionist in high heels ran to greet their esteemed guest. Not long after, Wang Bing, the President of Yongsheng, received a message from his secretary. Wang Bing clarified the news with his secretary, ¡°Are you sure Mo Hanchen of the Moyun Group is here? I don¡¯t recall having any direct dealings with the Moyun Group.¡± Meng Yue and her father were shocked. Meng Zhengde eyed his daughter, who seemed lost in thought. The sound of leather shoes clapping on tiles echoed in Meng Yue¡¯s ears, and her breathing grew more rapid. What was he doing here? Was he stalking her? Somehow, the thought made Meng Yue distinctly uncomfortable. Before the secretary could respond, Mo Hanchen had swept into the office. Unperturbed by the sudden intrusion, Wang Bing went up to Mo Hanchen and greeted him. ¡°President Mo, thank you for coming all this way. My apologies for not welcoming you sooner.¡± Mo Hanchen shook Wang Bing¡¯s hand, reciprocating the gesture, ¡°The fault is mine. I¡¯m sorry for coming without an appointment.¡± He spoke apologetically, but his expression never changed. Meng Yue cursed in her heart. How could he be so shameless? Mo Hanchen looked like he had just noticed Meng Yue as his gaze fixed on her. ¡°I¡¯m sorry, but did I interrupt your discussion?¡± Meng Yue clenched her fists. Mo Hanchen would have to be blind not to notice the obvious. ¡°President Mo might have forgotten his spectacles. I never knew he was short-sighted.¡± Mo Hanchen was momentarily stunned, but that turned into a raised brow. ¡°Are you saying I interrupted you?¡± The temperature in Wang Bing¡¯s office abruptly dropped. It was Wang Bing¡¯s turn to feel troubled. However, as the host, he had no choice but to step forward to ease the tension. ¡°President Mo, please, sit.¡± ¡°Miss Meng, President Meng, please sit.¡± ¡°Little Zhang, please prepare some tea for us.¡± Wang Bing¡¯s eyes darted between Mo Hanchen and Meng Yue as he spoke. He vaguely knew something of Mo Hanchen, Xiang Haoyu, and Meng Yue, but nothing specific. Now that he had a chance to see Mo Hanchen and Meng Yue in person, he could tell there was certainly something going on between the two. With Mo Hanchen¡¯s participation, his discussion with Meng Yue had to be put on hold.
