After being away for ten days, he had accumulated a lot of things to deal with. He took advantage of his anger at her just now to drive directly to the company. If they had not been angry and continued the sweet ride on the car, he would never have rushed to the company to work overtime on such a day.

However, he had never expected that she really did not take this wedding as if it were the same thing as his own. She did not even remember his birthday.

He might have believed that she hadn't paid attention to the marriage certificate when he had received it, because even he had looked at it carefully and remembered that she was born in winter.

It was just that he had come back from the earliest flight in a travel-worn state, but the woman had no idea it was his birthday.

It was the first time he felt defeated.

If it had been Sulay, such things would never have happened. He still remembered that when they were together, she knew that on his birthday, she had started to prepare carefully. Gifts, meals, romantic dates, a candlelit dinner after listening to the symphony, and then …

He tightened his grip on the steering wheel, feeling his heart sink. Sulay and his first time was on his birthday.

He almost pulled out of the driveway in a daze, and only when the horn sounded behind him did he wake up, turn around, and take the other road. The Shin HQ was just ahead.

It had been two years since he had his birthday. Ever since she left, his birthday had become a closed wound that he wouldn't easily remove. Every time his grandfather and the others suggested a banquet, he would perfunctorily pass by them.

After parking the car, he prepared to enter the company, but it was 4 PM. The sun was no longer warm, but the heat was still unbearable.

His cell phone suddenly rang. He took it out carelessly and looked at it. Immediately, his eyes couldn't move away anymore, Sulay.

"Hello."

He braced himself. His voice was barely calm, but it could not suppress the wild beating of his heart.

"Happy Birthday, Ah Hao."

Her voice was very gentle, making him forget everything for a moment.

"Thank you, Sulay."

He had never wanted to have such a polite relationship with her.

"Are you going to split up with me, Hao?"

There was sadness in her voice that made his heart ache for a moment.

"Sulay, are you all right?"

He couldn't help but ask softly. That day, he had firmly decided to push her aside. After thinking about it, he still felt that he had done it too ruthlessly.

"Good, why not? We're just living like zombies."

She laughed lowly, her voice trembling slightly. It made him wish he could hug her again.

"Is he not good to you?"

He gritted his teeth and anger could be heard in his voice. This woman he loved so deeply into his heart was actually being wronged by another man!

"Hao, you know I only care about you …"

Sulay's voice rose in a whimper.

He suddenly felt that his chest was extremely stuffy. Just what was going on with Sulay? She had left him in such a way that she had declared to the world that she and Denisling were no longer in love, and now she only cared about him. Why should she care?

"Su Lei, if you guys are going to have a fight, you have to communicate with each other properly. It's hard to avoid friction between husband and wife …"

"I saw your wedding photos."

Su Lai immediately interrupted him, her voice carrying a sneer. "Hao, you really did find a random woman to carelessly marry."

She pretended to be arrogant, but the truth was that she already hated him from the bottom of her heart.

"How do you know it's casual?"

Shen Canghao was also somewhat angry. He coldly rejected Su Lai's request. Su Lai was stunned for a moment. The receiver went silent, and after a moment, a faint sound of sobbing could be heard. It gradually turned into a whimper …

His heart immediately softened. Su Lai was not like Xu Huan Yan. She never shed tears easily, and now that she lost control, she must be grieving.

"Sorry, Sulay."

He comforted her gently. It had never happened before.

"Hao, now that you're married, my heart is as dead as ashes. Someone is taking care of you in my place, I no longer have any worries, good or bad. I just want you to live a happy life. She can love you for me."

Su Lai finished her speech in one breath. She seemed to be trying her best to hold back her tears as she sobbed, "Ah Hao, goodbye."

The elevator jingled, and they reached the top floor. At the other end of the line, there was a busy tone, and there was no sound. Shen's heart ached, and Sulay's words were painful to hear.

How could he let someone who he deeply loved and begged but could not let to see her suffer in front of his eyes?

Only after he closed his eyes did he feel a sense of desolation in his heart. He only felt that once he closed them, they seemed to be the eyes of Su Lai, and she was still worried about him, causing a faint sense of joy to rise in his heart. However, when he recalled that the person beside her was another man, he felt extremely hurt …

She suddenly hated herself for marrying so recklessly. Otherwise, she would have flown to California and taken Sule away. Wouldn't she have made up her mind?

Only when Chen Er brought a few department heads to knock on the door and entered did Shen Canghao finally put aside his worries and concentrate on settling the backlog of matters.

It was eight o'clock in the evening after a short meeting was held after he had finished dealing with a thick stack of documents.

Chen Er brought in the coffee cup and smiled. "Why are you working so hard when you just got married? Do you really not care about your sister-in-law's grievances?"

He smiled faintly, picked up his coffee and took a sip. He did not answer.

As the cup fell, his phone rang once again. Shen Canghao immediately took it away, but he was still disappointed. Xu Huayan.

"What is it?" His lazy voice rang out.

"Where are you? Dinner is ready for you … "

"Work overtime at the company. Don't wait for me. I'll be back later." He immediately hung up, not waiting for her to continue talking.
