Chapter 30

When it was time to get off work, Lin Wanmeng got up. However, just as she left the company and took a few steps, she saw a familiar figure.

“President Lin, we meet again.”

The corners of Lin Wanmeng’s mouth twitched. She turned around and asked, “How can it be considered ‘again’ to you? We’ve already bumped into each other a few times in the past few days. CEO He, if you have something to say, just say it.”

He Yan didn’t feel awkward about being exposed at all. Instead, he nodded with interest. “You saw me, so why are you hiding?”

Who knew what you wanted to do?!

Lin Wanmeng rolled her eyes in her heart. If it weren’t for the fact that the two of them were still working together and He Yan’s polite actions, Lin Wanmeng would probably have called the police.

“Don’t misunderstand. I just want to discuss a deal with President Lin.”

“This isn’t a good time, is it?”

At this moment, the two of them were standing in the underground parking lot of the Qinyu Company. Lin Wanmeng was leaning against her car door, while He Yan was holding the trunk with his hand, looking unrestrained.

“Don’t be too nitpicky when doing business. I think President Lin is also a workaholic. Where can’t we talk?”

Lin Wanmeng did not know what to say after being praised like this. She could only say helplessly, “President He, what business do you want to do?”

“Someone ordered a set of jewelry from Huashe, and this designer is related to me. He’s been busy recently and wants me to give him some ideas.”

“How is this related to me?”

He Yan stroked his chin and suddenly looked at Lin Wanmeng meaningfully. “His rings are custom-made with love as the theme.”

“You should be familiar with this person. It’s Ye Lingxiao.”

Rings?

Lin Wanmeng subconsciously looked at her hands. There was only a small plain silver ring on her ring finger.

It wasn’t that the Ye family was poor, but they just didn’t care.

Lin Wanmeng had never seen Ye Lingxiao wear that ring before.

“Maybe President Ye gave it to a newbie. It has nothing to do with me. CEO He you’re looking for the wrong person.”

The lights in the parking lot were not dim. He Yan could clearly see the awkwardness in Lin Wanmeng’s eyes.

He sighed. Although his gaze was complicated, it was also heartless. “Looks like I misunderstood. Sorry to disturb you.”

Lin Wanmeng’s thoughts were complicated. In her opinion, Ye Lingxiao had already found his true love, so he didn’t need her anymore.

Now that the Qinyu Company had already worked up to a certain scale, the enemies she wanted to attack were no longer her match. It was also feasible to slowly deal with them later on…

So, this was a happy ending for everyone.

Lin Wanmeng opened the car door. Before she could get in, the sound of water dripping onto the leather seat echoed clearly in the car.

Why are you crying? You good-for-nothing.

Lin Wanmeng pursed her lips and tried her best to suppress the bitterness in her nose.

It was just a man. It was not easy to find a three-legged toad but there were many two-legged men.

After returning to the villa, Lin Wanmeng opened her wardrobe and packed her clothes and daily necessities into her suitcase.

She didn’t make much noise, and the nanny downstairs didn’t hear anything.

When Lin Wanmeng had cleaned up most of her traces, she happened to find a ring in the corner of the closet.

It was a pair with the one on her hand. Lin Wanmeng gripped the ring tightly. The hard object in her palm hurt.

She was really stubborn. She actually shed tears for such a person.

The gift for his elusive love was kept in the depths and locked in a wooden box. It was placed neatly like a treasure.

As for the marriage certificate with her, it was casually thrown into a corner and silently consumed by the years.

“What are you doing?”

Ye Lingxiao’s deep voice sounded from behind her. Lin Wanmeng’s body trembled. She turned around, her eyes filled with despair. It was like a blade cutting into Ye Lingxiao’s heart.

“It’s nothing. I’m just making room.”

The woman’s eyes had returned to coldness. Although she did not say it explicitly, her attitude showed that she was already prepared to part.

“Is it because of that scandal? I want to explain it to you, but you don’t want to hear it.” Ye Lingxiao suppressed his anger.

After Lin Wanmeng hung up, even Ye Lingxiao felt that something was wrong. He rushed home to explain to her, but he did not expect to see this scene.

Men always had excuses in the face of such matters. Unfortunately, Lin Wanmeng did not have the heart to listen.

“President Ye, there’s no need to say more. I originally had no right to interfere in President Ye’s matters. Now, I’m just making preparations in advance.”

Lin Wanmeng seemed to have abandoned a piece of trash that she didn’t need. Her tone was light.

In fact, her fingertips were still throbbing with pain, including her heart.

Ye Lingxiao strode forward and snatched the box from Lin Wanmeng’s hands. His gaze was sharp and his lips suddenly curled into a disdainful smile.

“Then where are you going? To Shen Yusong or He Yan?”

Did this person think that everyone else was as heartless and promiscuous as her?

Lin Wanmeng endured the pain and wanted to shake off his hand that was grabbing her.

However, she used too much strength and threw the two of them onto the bed.

Lin Wanmeng’s hand trembled for a while before touching the hard object in her palm again.

Looking at the man whose eyes were red and questioning her relentlessly, she suddenly felt tired and threw the ring in her hand far away.

The ring rolled pitifully in a corner with the dust.

Lin Wanmeng took off the ring on her ring finger in front of Ye Lingxiao. Ye Lingxiao was stunned for a moment. It was obvious that he had long forgotten about it. She took off the ring and threw it far away in front of Ye Lingxiao.

“Lin Wanmeng!”

Lin Wanmeng lay on the soft mattress, but she still held her head high. “President Ye, can you let go now?”

The man’s gaze was terrifying, but Lin Wanmeng still looked at him stubbornly, as if she hated him.

“I’m the only one who can stop this deal. You’re not qualified yet.” The other party gritted his teeth as he spoke. His heavy breathing covered the woman’s face.

It was as if he was moved by this soft body, he kissed Lin Wanmeng’s forehead, lips, or perhaps collarbone in an endless stream.

Being kissed like this, Lin Wanmeng clenched her fists tightly. Just as Ye Lingxiao was about to fall in love, she shouted in a low voice, “Get lost!”

Ye Lingxiao was stunned for a moment. When he looked up, he saw Lin Wanmeng’s emotionless eyes.

He stopped what he was doing and asked incredulously, “What did you say?”

“I told you to get lost. Ye Lingxiao, are you deaf?” No one was used to being humiliated, especially a proud son of heaven like Ye Lingxiao.

It was fine if he was rejected, but he didn’t have the habit of sucking up to someone repeatedly.

He let go of Lin Wanmeng but still stared at her. It was as if he was threatening her or giving her a chance to go back on her word.

Unfortunately, Lin Wanmeng did not say anything. She closed her eyes and the footsteps gradually faded away. Suddenly, she turned back.

Her hand was held by someone. The man stared at her slender and fair hand and placed the ring firmly on Lin Wanmeng’s ring finger.

“I hope you won’t regret it.”

He roughly put the ring on Lin Wanmeng’s finger. Seeing that she was in pain, he frowned.

“It’s just that it’s up to me when this deal is called off.”
