With a gloomy face, Terence looked at the quickly changing data. Although the news of their engagement had been released, the reaction from the outside world was still not good, which made him suspect.
Hester was once again at top.
The car and the baby products of Qi family, which were used to cultivate babies, were easy to be guessed by those who were not brainless.
Noticing the obvious depression on his face, Melody sweated on her forehead for no reason. "Terence, how about we ask the public relations to change their attitudes towards us?"
"It's no use." With his fingers crossed, he folded his fingers and made a tower shape. "The Blue Water Company has the advantage. They should have already recorded it."
"We can't let them continue to be arrogant." Melody bit her lower lip. Now both the Si family and Qi family were on the cusp of the wind, which was worthy of the name of sharing weal and woe.
His eyes fell on the files piled up in front of him. At this moment, unless...
It would be a huge loss for both sides.
Melody was a smart girl. It seemed that she had made up her mind. She stood up from the sofa and said, "Leave it to me."
"What do you want to do?" asked Terence, raising his eyebrows slightly.
"Guess what I'm going to do." When she smiled, she looked energetic and gentle. She then said, "But, Terence, I really need you to take care of me from now on."
That was a clear and bold instruction.
"No way." After hesitating for three seconds, Terence said in a colder voice. He looked at Melody with a knife in his eyes, "You are hurting yourself."
"So what? Was there any other good way? As you know, time is pressing, just wait. " She clenched her hands, and her manicured nails almost pierced into the flesh of her palms.
'Is he really just worried about me?'
She sneered and looked away.

The hall was resounded with noise.

Drugged one night by her ex-boyfriend, a mysterious man took advantage of her in an ecstatic night filled with sex.
To take her revenge, she married the man, and used him.
"As long as I'm alive, I'm still his legal wife, while all of you are just his mistresses."
She remained adamant even when he was involved in scandals with other women.
Eventually she stormed off after she learned that he had betrayed her again.But life brought her back to him a few years later, to his astonishment.

When did this happen? Did it start with her blocking his knife? Or started with she was pregnant? Or earlier?
It was quiet in the car while Melody looked out of the window. It was full of hustle and bustle.
The street was full of people and vehicles. But it's also a city full of nothingness.
"Terence, do you remember what I said?" Melody broke the tension and said with a smile, "I've sacrificed so much. Can't I get some compensations for it?"
Terence was driving, so he didn't look at her and just said a word from his throat, "Yes."
"You are so perfunctory." Melody stretched herself and seized the chance to hide her desolation. "But, Terence, now that we have been engaged, do you think we should consider the next step."
The traffic light intersection, a red light flashing. The car stopped. The moonlight of the street lamps shone on the car, as if it had been covered with a layer of silver frost.
