The light in the study room was always on. Tang Hongbo sat in the study room and pondered for a long time, he could not understand what was going on with Duan Wenzhuo tonight.
However, he never got an answer. When he thought of tomorrow's banquet, he was a little worried, and a feeling of unease suddenly welled up in his heart.
She looked out the window at the moonlight shining on the smooth floor. She had a bad feeling about this, and she was angry with herself for not being able to control her emotions.
"Wenzhuo, are you asleep?"
The signature was Rong Xuan's.
Duan Wenzhuo looked at the message, then thought for a while and deleted it. She didn't reply, so she threw her phone back onto the bed.
Seeing the continuous ringing of the bell, Duan Wenzhuo became distracted, but in the end she still pressed the answer button.
"Wenzhuo, are you asleep?" Once the call connected, Rong Xuan's voice anxiously came over.
"Not yet." Duan Wenzhuo replied indifferently.
"Did I disturb you?" Rong Xuan asked politely.
"No, what's the matter?" Duan Wenzhuo asked.
Rong Xuan who was on the other side of the phone seemed to have thought about it, and asked.
"Wenzhuo, are you alright? "Does that sound weird to you?" Rong Xuan asked.
Duan Wenzhuo was startled, was her performance that obvious? She could even recognize the voice.
"I'm fine." Duan Wenzhuo said indifferently.
"Really? I had thought that that matter would make you sad, but who would have thought that with how strong you are, I have truly underestimated you. " Rong Xuan said with a smile.
That thing? What is it? Did he know about the photo as well? Duan Wenzhuo could not help but think.
"You, you know? No, how do you know about that? " Duan Wenzhuo held onto her phone tightly, doing her best to hide her trembling voice.
"What do you mean, I know?" Now I'm afraid everyone knows. " Rong Xuan said.
Duan Wenzhuo was startled. Everyone?
"How did this happen?" Duan Wenzhuo knew that those photos were secretly taken by someone, and would definitely be exposed, but she never would have thought that it would be taken so quickly, would Tang Hongbo's reputation be harmed?
Duan Wenzhuo immediately thought of this.
"What's so strange about that? It's hard for others to not know that he's going to advertise with such fanfare, right?" Rong Xuan spoke very slowly. Although she could not see Duan Wenzhuo's expression, she could hear his emotions from her tone.
His goal was to bring her away at the birthday banquet tomorrow. As for the reason, the excuse wasn't important at all.
Duan Wenzhuo was even more shocked now.
"What?" It is only a few pictures, how could Hongbo do that? " Duan Wenzhuo asked in disbelief.
"What photo?" I'm talking about the marriage proposal ceremony. " Rong Xuan pretended to be shocked.
"The marriage proposal ceremony?" Duan Wenzhuo was stunned. She had no idea what marriage proposal ceremony was.
"Yeah, what are you talking about? Tang Hongbo wants to propose to Duan Wenyu tomorrow, don't you know? " Rong Xuan asked in astonishment.
Hearing that, Duan Wenzhuo's head exploded, she sat on the bed in a daze, her phone slipped from her hand and fell into her soft life.
"Wenzhuo? Wenzhuo? Are you still there? " Rong Xuan's anxious voice came out of the phone.
After a long while, Duan Wenzhuo finally found her voice, picked up her phone, and asked with a steady voice.
"What's going on?" Duan Wenzhuo didn't believe that she and Tang Hongbo had only been together for an afternoon. How could he propose to Duan Wenyu?
She would never believe it.
"Wenzhuo, you didn't know? I thought you were the first to know? Look at the news, the ones on the internet are all about the marriage proposal ceremony tomorrow. I only called you because I saw the news too. Rong Xuan's words seemed to reveal a heartache.
After Duan Wenzhuo heard this, she quickly opened her phone.
As expected, the title of the internet was eye-catching: "President of the Tang Family's Romance".
Duan Wenzhuo continued to read, all the reports wrote that Tang Hongbo wanted to propose to the Duan Clan's young miss at some kind of hotel tomorrow, but immediately after, there was someone who exposed that Tang Hongbo was already married, but the person who got married was actually writing about Duan Wenyu, not Duan Wenzhuo. There was not a single word in the entire article, even when Duan Wenzhuo was mentioned, it was as if she was never there.
But it was also true that she very rarely appeared in front of everyone with Tang Hongbo. Outsiders knew that Tang Hongbo and Duan Wenyu had a beautiful love affair, and they were even engaged to be married.
But what he did not know was that Duan Wenzhuo was Tang Hongbo's real wife.
"Wenzhuo, did you see that? Are you okay? " Rong Xuan asked worriedly.
"I'm fine." Duan Wenzhuo's tone did not reveal whether she was happy or angry.
Rong Xuan seemed to pause for a moment before continuing.
"Wenzhuo, actually, I know that you are feeling wronged and sad at the same time. In the end, you are his wife, but look at what he wants to do. Rong Xuan said in righteous indignation.
"Stop talking, leave me alone." After Duan Wenzhuo finished speaking, he did not wait for Rong Xuan's response and hung up the phone. When he called again, she did not answer.
She felt as if she was floating in the air. Her head felt dizzy, and she also felt like she was dreaming. However, she reached out her hand to pinch herself. It was really painful.
This meant that what he had heard just now was not an illusion, but was real.
The online reports were all true, Tang Hongbo really wanted to propose to Duan Wenyu.
But what was she going to do?
Why did Tang Hongbo do it? Was he taking revenge on her? Could he still remember what happened two years ago? But when she thought of his attitude towards change and what he had done, she could not believe that he would be so cruel to her. Furthermore, she was still pregnant with her child.
She wanted to ask Tang Hongbo about this, but she was afraid of knowing the truth. If his answer was really the same as the ones on the internet, what would she do?
How could she endure this?
Suddenly, his phone rang. He didn't want to answer the phone, but seeing that it was Secretary Wang calling, he thought for a moment, then pressed the answer button.
"What's wrong? It can't be that I have to take another leave of absence tomorrow, right? " Tang Hongbo replied with a faint smile.
"That's not it, CEO. Quickly take a look at the news online. Something happened." Secretary Wang said anxiously.
"I never read gossip." Tang Hongbo said.
"You really want to take a look at this, it's about you and Miss Duan." Secretary Wang said anxiously.
Tang Hongbo sighed and turned on the computer.
When he opened the web page, Tang Hongbo's eyes could not shift away. Even through the phone, Secretary Wang could still feel the coldness of Tang Hongbo's body.
"President, did you see that?" Secretary Wang cautiously asked. Originally, he was about to sleep, but he habitually opened his phone to look at the news, and when he saw this, he immediately called Tang Hongbo.
"Who did this?" Tang Hongbo's expression was extremely ugly.
"I'll go and check, but it looks like there are already a lot of media outlets reporting about it. It's very difficult to find out who reported first, but I'll do my best."
Tang Hongbo hung up the phone and immediately walked towards Duan Wenzhuo's room.
When he opened the door, he saw that Duan Wenzhuo had already fallen asleep, and he was relieved for a moment. He immediately turned around and walked out of the study room.
Duan Wenzhuo was lying on the bed, and upon hearing the sound of Tang Hongbo opening the door, she immediately closed her eyes, but when Tang Hongbo left, the tears flowing from the corners of her eyes had drenched her white pillow.
Why did things turn out like this? No matter how hard she tried, she just couldn't figure it out.
When Tang Hongbo returned to the study room, he did not care what time it was and immediately dialed Duan Wenyu's number.
Only after a long while did Duan Wenyu pick up the phone.
"Hongbo? It's so late, what's the matter? " Duan Wenyu's voice carried a trace of pleasant surprise.
"Did you watch the news?" Tang Hongbo went straight to the point.
"What news?" Duan Wenyu did not understand.
"You don't know, but I'll trouble you to take a look at it now." Tang Hongbo coldly said.
Hearing that, Duan Wenyu got up and switched on the computer. After taking a look, she immediately thought of something, but pretended that she did not know anything.
"Hongbo, you called me so late, did you think that I know something, or did you simply think that this matter had something to do with me?" Duan Wenyu asked.
"Whether it's okay or not, you have to ask yourself." Tang Hongbo said in a cold voice.
"Do I think in your heart that this is how it is now? I thought that after our last conversation, we were already friends, but now, as long as something happens, as long as it is related to Wenzhuo, you will blame it all on me. If I ask you, how many friends do you have in the world, if you have anything you suspect you of being friends with? Furthermore, we were not just friends in the past. You did not even bother with old feelings, and before the matter was resolved, you called us to interrogate us in such a naked manner. Duan Wenyu found a reason and an excuse, and told her everything she knew in her heart at once.
Tang Hongbo, who was on his side, stayed silent for a long while before he spoke.
"I'm just asking you one question. You have ten sentences waiting for me. Whether or not this has anything to do with you, I will investigate. I'm just asking, you don't have to be so nervous." Tang Hongbo said indifferently.
