I'm waiting for you to come and beg me

I froze, a chill running through me. He had thought of many different situations when he proposed to me for divorce, but they were not what they were now.

And I thought I was mentally prepared, but somehow my heart began to ache for no reason when I heard him say those two words.

"Lou Shaotang, you can get a divorce, 5 million."

My tone was too strong for discussion. It's just that I was surprised when I said it.

This was completely contrary to what I had originally envisaged.

My original thought was that if he suggested divorce me, I would definitely disagree. I would then waste two years with him, making Zhong Ruoqing die from anxiety. But now, for some reason, the moment he felt his head grow hot, he said these words. Could it be that I want to use my high breakup fee to get Lou Shaotang to give up on the idea of divorce?

It was a little ridiculous. 5 million was an astronomical number to me but it was nothing to Lou Shaotang.

Lou Shaotang turned his head abruptly and stared at me in disbelief. I could clearly see the anger and pain in his eyes.

My heart skipped a beat. However, the words that came out were like spilled water. It was impossible to take them back. This matter was related to my self-esteem. Therefore, I turned a blind eye to his anger. I forced myself to laugh and said, "A dignified young master of the Lou family, using 5 million in exchange for his freedom is very cheap."

Lou Shaotang was quiet for a moment, then recovered his cold expression and said: "Alright, I will look for a lawyer to discuss this matter with you later."

After he finished speaking, he brought Zhong Ruoqing away without looking back.

At the sound of the engine starting, my legs gave way and I fell to the ground, miserable and sad. Look, Tu Ying, you have once again proven to Lou Shaotang with your actions just how shameless of a woman you are.

However, this pessimism was quickly overcome by me. Lou Shaotang doesn't matter, divorce is nothing, and I don't love him either. I got a huge amount of money from his divorce, I'm not happy yet, I don't care what kind of woman he sees me as!

I wiped the tears from the corners of my eyes, stood up, straightened my back, and walked out of the factory.

After that day, I did not return to Garden. I rented an apartment near the company. At the beginning, he was very excited, thinking that he had finally gotten rid of that bastard Lou Shaotang. I was busy at work during the day, and when I resume working at night, I would normally not go home until 2 or 3, and when I got home I would be exhausted. After showering I would immediately go to sleep, and there was almost no time to think about Lou Shaotang and I getting a divorce.

However, this rhythm didn't last for long before something annoying happened. Lou Shaotang actually started to appear in my dreams like a ghost every night, disturbing my poor sleep quality, making me often fall asleep after waking up. Then, Lou Shaotang started to think about everything about him, what we've been doing together, what he's been doing recently, why he still hasn't contacted me about the divorce, etc., etc., etc., etc., until he thought about how he had once again turned his calm heart into a raging wave.

When it comes to divorce, I'm surprised it's been over a week and his lawyer hasn't called me yet. To be honest, I was feeling a little uneasy and a little happy, and I didn't know where this happiness was, as if there were a little bit of expectation that he would go back on his word.

Sigh, I am too good at thinking too much. The decisions Lou Shaotang makes have always been followed through to the end, how can he go back on his words so easily? It's just a matter of time.

Another two or three days passed. This morning, I was in a meeting with my subordinates when I received a call from the pig-headed Chow Tung, saying that he wanted to cancel all orders. I was rather surprised and asked him why, but he faltered and gave me a reason, but as soon as I heard it, he told me that he was trying to lie to me, but it wasn't easy to expose him, so I had to agree first and go talk to him personally after the meeting.

I didn't expect that before the meeting was over, I would receive calls from other customers, all requesting to return the orders. I couldn't sit still any longer, thinking that there must be a problem here, so I left the meeting to look for the Chow Tung.

The Chow Tung didn't want to say it, but he couldn't take it anymore. He finally told the truth, saying that "Heaven had" pressured him, and that if he continued to work with the "Ya Yan", all of the spa halls in the "Heaven's Bright" department stores would be withdrawn.

Hearing the word "heavenly" made my scalp tingle. I didn't need my toes to know who did it. The first thing I did after coming out from Chow Tung was to visit "Tianyue".

On the way there, I've been thinking about one thing. What is Lou Shaotang's current "Tianyue" status? Three years ago, he was the CEO, but now that this throne was occupied by his second uncle, Lou Yuanhai. He had just woken up, the old man wouldn't submit to him so quickly, but since he was also able to pressure Chow Tung, it showed that he had a lot of power.

Just as I was about to take the elevator, I heard someone call out to me from the side, "Director Tu."

When I turned around, it was Hugo.

"What a coincidence." I was surprised. "Why are you here?"

Hugo smiled and said that he was here to talk about the DK brand entering Tianyue Center.

I was even more surprised. "You even need a CEO to personally take part in this matter?"

Hugo didn't reply me, he only chuckled twice. His laughter sounded rather awkward, I think it's because he values it, after all, it's harder than climbing to the heavens to enter Tianyue Center.

I smiled back and tactfully didn't pursue the matter further.

"Director Lou?" I was surprised, only Lou Yuanhai could be called "Director Lou" here. I shook my head. "No, I'm looking for him."

"Be careful!"

Before I could finish, Hugo gave a nervous cry and pulled me toward him. I lost my footing and threw myself into his arms.

Startled, I turned around and saw that several workers were carrying a tall green plant. If it wasn't for Hugo pulling me, I would have been hit.

"Thank you." I smiled gratefully at him.

With a glance, I saw Lou Shaotang standing not too far away from us, staring coldly at my face. Behind him were a few people that looked like assistants.

He had been missing for almost half a month. He seemed to have lost some weight, but he was still handsome and in high spirits. Seeing that I had also seen him, the corners of his mouth curled up in a cold smile. He turned his face away and pretended not to see me leave.

I was stunned for a few seconds. Then, I remembered my purpose for coming here, so I quickly withdrew from Hugo's embrace, told him that I had something on, bid my farewells, and chased after Lou Shaotang.

Seeing that he had already stepped into the elevator, I anxiously called out to him, "Lou Shaotang, wait a moment."

He turned a deaf ear and closed the elevator door.

I gritted my teeth in anger, and when his elevator stopped on the forty-fifth floor, I took the other elevator up.

When I walked to the entrance of the office, I was stunned when I saw the words "CEO's Office" on the door. Just as I was about to turn around and leave, the door opened and I subconsciously looked in, only to see Lou Shaotang sitting behind his desk and reading a document.

"May I ask who you're looking for?" the secretary asked, standing in front of me.

Before I could think about it, Lou Shaotang had already raised her face to look at me. She still had that same ice-cold face, but I regained my senses in a flash, straightened my body, and nodded towards his direction. "Find him."

My attitude was very rude and overbearing, the secretary was obviously stunned, she turned to look at Lou Shaotang, waiting for his instructions.

"Let her in." Lou Shaotang said coldly.

The secretary nodded and made way for me, closing the door and leaving.

Lou Shaotang folded his arms across his chest and leaned back in his chair, looking at me expressionlessly. He used to look at me like that in the harbor office, but never with such a powerful air that I felt oppressed and breathless.

I clenched my fists, took a deep breath, and told myself not to be nervous.

Only when I felt I could face him with equanimity did I let go of my fist and walk over to him with my lips curled.

"Lou Shaotang, you're so powerful."

Although I used a sarcastic tone, I sincerely felt that he was very powerful. He'd thought that the old tutor wouldn't let him regain power so quickly, but he hadn't thought that he'd be sitting on the top of the pyramid again.

"Why are you looking for me?" He ignored me and asked me directly.

"Don't ask just because you know it. Don't you know why I came to find you?" I stood in front of him and looked straight at him. "What do you mean? You want to use this to force me to compromise? "

"Lou Shaotang, do you think it's possible?" I shook my head and snorted.

I really am not afraid that the cancellation of those orders would not cause a huge loss to the Ya Yan, because the company's main businesses are in factory processing and DK cooperation development products, as long as there are no problems with these two items. However, I was furious that he actually tricked me. Of course, I had to find a reason to argue with him.

Lou Shaotang looked at me silently for a moment, then asked: "That person was the one you sought for a backer?"

I frowned. Hugo?

What did this have to do with him?!

"Yes." I twisted the truth, and said stubbornly: "You think the Ya Yan has nowhere to go after cutting off my business? Childish! I have a lot of people helping me, so I'm not afraid of you at all. "I advise you to stop wasting your energy and get the lawyer to prepare the agreement as soon as possible. Prepare the 5 million, and we'll go back on the bridge and never see each other again."

Lou Shaotang stared at me for a split-second, his gaze becoming colder and colder. I was scared by his stare, but I still forced myself to look as if I could break through anything.

After a long while, he let out a cold laugh, and said: "Tu Ying, I want to see how long you can take this lying down for. I'm waiting for you to come and beg me. "

"Please?" As if I had heard a joke, I smiled and sent him a word, "Dream!"

I left his office proudly, and when I got back to the car, I exhaled with relief and steadied my beating heart.

This matter was just a small episode, and didn't cause any big waves for me. The "Ya Yan" also operated normally.

A few days later, I flew away on a business trip, which was also a coastal city. After dinner with my clients in the evening, I did not go back to the hotel, instead, I went for a walk on the beach opposite the restaurant.

As I stood on the beach with my bare feet and listened to the sound of the waves, I unconsciously thought of Lou Shaotang and the times when I stayed in the apartment after coming back from sea. It was the most peaceful and cozy time we had ever had together. At the time, I thought our relationship would change, but now it's back to the beginning, even worse than before.

I pounded my chest a few times, relieving the pain I felt, then sat down on the spot. I took out my phone, wanting to look at something to divert my attention, but then suddenly, I opened the photo album and pulled out the photo shoot I took with Lou Shaotang on the beach.

Staring at the serious, handsome man in the photo, I couldn't help but stroke his face on the screen with my fingers.

Just as I was engrossed in my reading, my cell phone rang. I was startled, and when I realized it was a call from my secretary, I picked it up immediately. Before I could say anything, her anxious voice reached my ears.

"Oh no, Director Tu, something happened in the factory."
