"You shouldn't be so hasty."
Feng Shanshan handed the two pieces of paper to Mu Qiqi."I'll turn around. You can switch them however you like."
Mu Qiqi sighed. In the end, she just did as she was told. She did not know what else she could do to alleviate Feng Shanshan's pain.
Then, Feng Shanshan turned around and looked at Mu Qiqi's two fists."I'll choose the right side."
"Are you sure?"
"Of course I'm sure. Don't be so wishy-washy." After saying that, Feng Shanshan opened Mu Qiqi's fist and took the ball of paper.
She only opened it to take a look before throwing it into the trash can."This is a decision made by the heavens for me. Thank you for today. I'm done. I'll go back first."
Mu Qiqi watched Feng Shanshan leave and then slowly opened her left hand. She saw that there was nothing on the note. It was completely blank.
On the way back, Feng Shanshan burst into tears. However, she had made a choice and she would never turn back.
So, after she returned home, she began to search for a new house. Was it a week? It was enough for her to completely disappear from Tang Yan's life.
..
After Mu Qiqi returned to Zhongteng, she kept sighing.
When Sheng Xiao saw this, he tugged at a placket on her clothes and asked, "What exactly are you unhappy about?"
"Nothing. I'm just upset that other people's relationships don't seem to be going very smoothly." After saying this, Mu Qiqi immediately hugged Sheng Xiao's waist, "I can't imagine what I would do if I were Feng Shanshan. How would I be able continue such a bittersweet relationship?"
Sheng Xiao hugged the little one and chuckled."I think someone forgot that she had a hard time after falling in love with me..."
"Back then, there was nothing else. She was just silly and impulsive, and she could just simply like him. But it's different now. Feng Shanshan doesn't have any family. She's just a lonely girl, and she needs someone to rely on."
"I don't deny that Captain Tang is a good man, or even a hero. But... whether he's a husband or a lover, he's not the right person."
"Sigh... the more I talk about it, the more conflicted I get."
Sheng Xiao ignored her and waited for her to sigh three more times before he said, "Jing Yun and fourth sister are going to emigrate."
"Hm?" Mu Qiqi did not understand.
"Mama Xu is seriously ill and there's no way to treat her in this country, so they've decided to emigrate." Sheng Xiao ruffled the little one's hair."So before that, go see fourth sister."
"Is that what you wanted to tell me just now?"
Sheng Xiao nodded.
"Alright, I got it. However, I've been planning to stick with you all day because whenever I think about Feng Shanshan, I feel uncomfortable. I'll only feel calmer when I'm next to you."
Sheng Xiao looked at her with a half-smile. In the end, he asked his secretary to move a chair and place it beside him."Although I really want you to sit on me, considering the bad influence, I'll give you the seat next to me."
Mu Qiqi sat down next to Sheng Xiao and hugged his arm as she watched him handle his business.
..
Soon, night fell.
Sheng Bowen brought Secretary Ren to the business cocktail party. Usually, Ren Yufei was either dressed in black or white. It was rare to see such a beautiful yellow dress on her, which was very pleasing to the eye.
Especially in this winter, it was like the color of a flame that warmed people's hearts.
"I should have brought you to all kinds of activities a long time ago." Sheng Bowen smiled at Secretary Ren in the car.
"I was afraid of embarrassing you."
"Why would that happen? I just regret not having had seen how beautiful you look in an evening dress." Sheng Bowen praised her sincerely."By the way, the dinner party is over. Do you have anything planned?"
"No, I don't. Do you have other plans?"
Sheng Bowen remained mysterious and smiled gently."You'll know soon."
Although Ren Yufei was curious, she did not ask further.
Soon, the two of them arrived at Smith Hotel where the banquet was held. It was located halfway up the mountain and was designed very tastefully.
"Come on."
After getting out of the car, Sheng Bowen let Ren Yufei hold his arm. He could feel that she was very nervous.
"Don't be nervous. It's no different from meeting a client on a daily basis."
Ren Yufei nodded. She was a qualified secretary and so she planned to be a competent partner for the event.
When the two of them entered the banquet hall, Sheng Bowen saw Hu Ran's figure in the crowd. Her father was also with her.
After the divorce, they had had almost no contact with each other. He wasn't expecting to meet her again, and at such an occasion too.
Ren Yufei seemed to have also spotted Hu Ran. She hurriedly removed her hand from around Sheng Bowen's arm. However, she was stopped by Shen Bowen."Have you forgotten? I'm divorced. Moreover, you're my female partner now."
"But the people outside don't know. They'll misunderstand you, President." Ren Yufei's first thought was not herself. She was afraid of bringing a negative impact on Sheng Bowen.
"It's okay, " Sheng Bowen said gently."Follow me closely. I won't leave you behind."
Ren Yufei's face flushed a little, but at the same time, she felt very uncomfortable. Because... in her heart, as long as Sheng Bowen did not announce his divorce with Hu Ran, Hu Ran would still have a public relationship with Sheng Bowen.
Not far away, Hu Ran seemed to have noticed the two of them too. Holding champagne in her hand, she walked up to Sheng Bowen generously."Third brother... It's been a while, hasn't it?"
"As long as Miss Hu is happy."
Sheng Bowen's words were obviously a deliberate attempt at distancing himself from her.
"A few days ago, the incident at Huang Yao..."
"That's all in the past. I think we should find a time to make everything public. That way, it'll be easier for you to find a boyfriend. What do you think?"
Hu Ran did not expect the first thing Sheng Bowen would talk to her about was the divorce, so her expression became very stiff. Her gaze fell on Ren Yufei's hand that was around Sheng Bowen's arm, and her expression was a little unnatural.
"Okay... the divorce is already over. It's only right."
"In that case, let's talk another day. I'll go meet some acquaintances."
Hu Ran nodded in disappointment. She had a feeling that Sheng Bowen was different... He was no longer the Third Brother Sheng who had protected her and held her in his arms.
And the woman hanging on his arm was his secretary, right?
Papa Hu saw Hu Ran being in a daze, so he walked up to his daughter and smiled."What's with you? Do you regret divorcing Third Young Master?"
Hu Ran looked at the two figures not far away. She did not know why, but she felt very uncomfortable. This feeling... was exactly the same as when her stepmother came to the Hu family.
