“I’m at my colleague’s house. It’s not convenient for you to come over,” Meng Nianyao frowned and started to feel frustrated. In the past few days, she had actually thought about the revenge plan against Meng Haotian, but the more she thought about it, the more confused she became. She seemed to be more and more unsure of what she should do. She did not have a far-sighted mind, nor did she have a swift and decisive method. She did not even have a strong desire for revenge now.

“I’ll wait for you downstairs,” Meng Haotian said. “Can you ask your colleague to send you down?”

Meng Haotian’s attitude was very firm. Meng Nianyao rejected him several times, but she didn’t reject him.

“Nianyao, are you not at your colleague’s house?” He wasn’t even in City B? Are you hiding something from me? Nianyao, you said that you love me and you’re forgiving me bit by bit, but why do I feel that you’ve been keeping a distance from me?”

On the other end of the phone, Meng Haotian was holding a document in his hand, his expression exceptionally cold.

When Meng Nianyao heard this, she pretended to be angry. “Since you think so, let’s end it. You don’t have to guess at me, and I don’t have to force myself to accept your past.”

“Don’t…” Meng Haotian’s voice suddenly became gentle again. “Nianyao, I just miss you too much. I want to see my girlfriend, my future wife. Can you give me your phone number? I’ll call her first to ask for her permission.”

Meng Nianyao knew that she couldn’t reject Meng Haotian’s words anymore. She glanced at the kitchen and said, “Alright, wait for me for an hour. I’ll go find you. My colleague doesn’t like strangers coming to her house.” After saying that, she hung up the phone.

Meng Nianyao called for a cab online, then got up and said to Aunt Zhang, “My friend is looking for me. Auntie Zhang, don’t be busy first. Send me downstairs.”

“But Madam, your leg hasn’t recovered yet. Sir told you not to walk too much…” Zelda hesitated.

Meng Nianyao shook her head. “It’s fine. Some exercise will help with recovery. I’ll be back in an hour.”

Aunt Zhang had no choice but to send Meng Nianyao downstairs and watch her leave in the car.

When Meng Nianyao arrived at the meeting place with Meng Haotian, he had already been waiting for a while. When he saw Meng Nianyao, he pulled her and stuffed her into his car.

Meng Haotian’s movements were very heavy. Meng Nianyao was hurt by him. Just as she was about to speak, she realized that his expression was not right.

Meng Nianyao was stunned for a moment. Meng Haotian had already closed the car door. Before she could ask where they were going, he had already stepped on the accelerator and the car sped off. Meng Nianyao was caught off guard, and her body fell forward, but she was pulled back by the seatbelt.

“Meng Haotian, where are you taking me?”

“Go home,” Meng Haotian glanced at her and smiled. “Nianyao, do you think your colleagues will take care of you more diligently than I do?”

“Are you crazy?” Meng Nianyao’s face was cold. “I told you, I don’t like your mother. I don’t want to stay under the same roof as her. Stop the car, I want to get out!”

Meng Haotian drove very fast. He ignored Meng Nianyao’s words and only said, “Since you don’t want to go home, then go to your place. I’ll take care of you.”

Meng Nianyao felt uneasy, as if something had happened. She subconsciously reached for her phone in her pocket, but both pockets were empty.

“You haven’t been to work these past few days, have you?” Meng Haotian suddenly changed the topic to Meng Nianyao’s work. Meng Nianyao was stunned, and the feeling of uneasiness intensified. “The doctor said that I can’t walk around much recently, so I asked for leave from the company.”

Meng Haotian narrowed his eyes and suddenly asked, “Nianyao, tell me the truth. Did you really come into contact with the entertainment city project at the Gu Corporation?”

Meng Nianyao didn’t know why Meng Haotian suddenly asked this question. She tightened her grip on the seatbelt and deliberately gave a cold smile. “Why? Are you suspecting me? Stop the car! I want to get off! Stop the car!”

Meng Haotian glanced at Meng Nianyao and said coldly, “Nianyao, stop fooling around.”

This was the first time Meng Haotian had spoken to Meng Nianyao in such a cold tone after learning that she had joined the Gu Corporation. Meng Nianyao knew that Meng Haotian knew something.

Meng Nianyao’s palms started to sweat. Ever since Meng Haotian had pressed her into the lake, she had been afraid of him. However, this fear had been hidden deep in her mind until now.
