Chapter 5：Find the Woman from Last Night

It was not a dream. Lu Qinghao really did cheat on her.

Moreover, to get back at him, she actually…

Tang Xinluo shook her head to stop herself from recalling.

She was not sure whether she should mock herself for being pitiful or dumb to have made such a rash decision. The other side of the bed was already cold, which indicated that the other party had left a long time ago.

That was the way to go. To go separate ways after the deed was done to prevent any awkwardness in the morning after.

Taking a deep breath, Tang Xinluo climbed out of the bed. Holding her soreness in, she put on her clothes and left the luxurious but empty mansion.

…

She returned home after she fled in a car. Thankfully, there was no one else aside from the housekeeper and servants so she did not have to explain anything.

Back in her room, Tang Xinluo lay on the bed as memories of the past flooded her mind.

She was the one who courted Lu Qinghao back then. Her mother was gravely ill, and her mother's last hope had been to see her get married. Lu Qinghao happened to appear back then, and he fit all her hopes of a husband.

While she first got close to Lu Qinghao to fulfill her mother's wishes, she developed feelings for the man with a charming smile after meeting him twice.

However, after she got married, her mother's illness worsened. Lu Qinghao disappeared under the pretense of work.

He was gone for half a year, and he did not even return when her mother passed away because of work.

Now that she thought about it, he probably never liked her.

Lu Qinghao… this man abandoned her heartlessly in the end.

She felt her heart ache. Tang Xinluo told herself that this was the last time her heart would ache over this man.

Suddenly, a pair of deep, dark eyes appeared in her mind.

The man from last night…

She did not get a good look at his looks because of all her crying and blurry vision, but a pair of dark eyes constantly appeared in her mind.

Even though she could not be sure, she had a feeling that those eyes belonged to that man.

Enough of him. Last night was just a spontaneous decision to take revenge. Tang Xinluo dragged her tired body to the shower. She only wanted to catch some sleep.

She would deal with the matter between her and Lu Qinghao after she got some sleep.

On the other side…

"Master Lu, it was my fault. I will accept any punishment." A man in gold-rimmed glasses knelt down.

A man was sitting on a chair, all high and mighty. A smile appeared on his lips.

"You even managed to get the wrong person so the checkup you did beforehand was just a joke." The man's eyes were cold and sharp.

"Go and find the woman from last night. It's one thing to have gotten the wrong person. If you lose her… Meng Ze, do you think I'll let you all get away with this?"

Meng Ze, the assistant, shuddered.

"Yes, Master Lu. Please be assured that we will not make a mistake this time."

Meng Ze backed out of the study carefully. This was the top of the new harbor office building. There was a situation that Master Lu had to deal with in person at the last minute; hence, he had to rush off this morning.
