Three years after our breakup, you came back to China, and I'm just giving up. Why are you cryi

We arrived at the Xiyue Clothing store building.

Lu Hao paid the fare, got out of the taxi, rushed through the revolving door, and prepared to cross the card reader area.

"Sir, please wait."

The security guard in the lobby blocked his way with a blank expression.

Lu Hao spoke very quickly: "Dude, I'm looking for someone, Xiao Xiyue, the CEO of Xiyue Apparel."

The security guard looked him up and down and said politely, "Excuse me, sir, you cannot enter without an appointment."

"I have an urgent matter, it's extremely urgent!" Lu Hao took out his phone, wanting to prove his relationship with Xiao Xiyue, but found that the call records didn't prove anything.

The security guard shook his head: "Sir, this is company policy. You're only putting me in a difficult position."

Lu Hao knew that forcing his way in was useless, so he took a deep breath and calmed himself down.

He changed the subject: "Then can you tell me, is President Xiao still at the company?"

"I didn't see Mr. Xiao come down today; he should still be here," the security guard answered readily, then added as if offering a well-intentioned piece of advice, "Brother, I suggest you go back. Waiting here won't do you any good."

"What do you mean?"

"I've worked here for two years, and there have been at least eighty or a hundred people like you coming to see President Xiao." The security guard curled his lip, his tone carrying a hint of world-weariness. "And in the end? They all slunk away, scolded and left. A woman like President Xiao isn't someone people like us can even dream about."

It turns out she saw herself as a persistent suitor.

Lu Hao was speechless for a moment, and even felt like laughing.

If this guy knew that he not only had feelings for her but had also slept with her several times, I wonder what his expression would be.

He was too lazy to explain; there was no way to explain such a thing anyway.

He turned and walked to the visitor sofa area in the corner of the lobby, and plopped down on it.

Since Xiao Xiyue is still up there, he'll stay here and guard her. A living person can't be killed by holding their pee, can they?

Time passed by, and Su Yu sent Lu Hao a message asking why he hadn't come home yet.

Lu Hao frowned and retorted: If you're spying on me, I'll move.

"I'm just checking in. If anything happens, you can tell me."

Lu Hao twitched the corner of his mouth but didn't reply.

Soon, Su Yu sent another message: Don't forget, you promised me before that you wouldn't ignore my messages.

This woman...

Lu Hao rolled his eyes helplessly and sent back a smiling emoji.

This time, Su Yu was sensible and didn't send any more messages.

Just as Lu Hao was about to lock the screen, an incoming call popped up.

The name Xiao Xiyue appeared on the screen.

He immediately swiped to answer, his voice urgent: "I'm downstairs at your office."

There was a moment of silence on the other end of the phone, then Xiao Xiyue's cool voice came through: "Okay, I'll be right down."

The phone hangs up.

Lu Hao suddenly stood up from the sofa, staring intently in the direction of the elevator.

Less than five minutes later, the elevator arrived with a "ding".

Xiao Xiyue came out.

Today, she tied her long hair up in a half-updo, revealing her slender, fair neck. Her well-tailored black office lady suit perfectly accentuated her shapely figure.

Beneath her pencil skirt, her long legs, encased in black stockings, moved with each step, her black-and-red high heels clicking crisply on the marble floor.

She walked up to Lu Hao and stopped, looking at him calmly. "What do you want?"

"Find a quiet place, something important is happening." Lu Hao's eyes were serious.

Seeing his anxious expression, Xiao Xiyue didn't ask a single question. She simply nodded slightly, turned around, and walked towards the building entrance.

Lu Hao immediately lifted his leg and followed.

The security guard who had stopped Lu Hao not far away almost popped his eyes out.

He watched as the man he had mistaken for a toad followed closely behind President Xiao. The two of them walked out of the revolving door together and disappeared into the night.

What the hell is going on?

He rubbed his eyes, his face full of disbelief.

Sigh, these days, being handsome really can put food on the table.

……

A refined private restaurant with private rooms on the second floor.

The delicious dishes were all served, and the waiter bowed and withdrew, gently closing the door behind him.

Xiao Xiyue rubbed her eyes, her voice sounding tired.

"Speak, what is it?"

"How did you handle Manager Zhao from your company?" Lu Hao leaned forward and lowered his voice.

"Hmm?" Xiao Xiyue looked up at him with some surprise. "You're going to interfere in my company's affairs?"

"It wasn't interference," Lu Hao immediately denied, speaking rapidly, "I suspect she leaked the information about my plan to Yunlan Clothing."

Xiao Xiyue didn't answer immediately, but instead asked, "How did you know?"

"My former manager told me. She said there was a mole on your side, and your operations against Yunlan Apparel were leaked. Now Yunlan Apparel has realized what happened and is preparing to sue my former company." Lu Hao briefly explained the whole story.

After listening, Xiao Xiyue's beautiful brows furrowed slightly.

She paused for a moment, her fingertips tapping unconsciously on the table, before slowly saying, "It seems your former manager treated you very well."

"Um... is that the important point?"

"If she weren't good to you, would she tell you all this? If you don't get along with her, how would she know you leaked the plan? Since she knows you leaked the plan, why didn't she just push you out?"

Faced with Xiao Xiyue's three consecutive questions, Lu Hao was dumbfounded.

A thin layer of sweat appeared on his back.

What's wrong with this woman's brain? She managed to dissect all the relationships and connections involved in just a few simple words I said.

For a fleeting moment, Lu Hao felt as if he were naked in front of her, and all his little schemes were laid bare for him.

He took a deep breath and forcefully steered the conversation back on track, saying in a serious tone, "This is not the time to talk about that. The key point is whether Yunlan Clothing has any concrete evidence."

However, Xiao Xiyue completely ignored him.

She leaned forward slightly, her clear eyes fixed on him.

"Your former manager, was she a woman?"

Lu Hao almost spat out a mouthful of blood. With the situation so dire, how could she still care about this?

He was getting a bit reckless and replied irritably, "She's a woman, and we've even slept together, okay?"

Xiao Xiyue just stared at him silently, her eyes calm and unwavering.

Lu Hao felt uncomfortable under her gaze, his imposing manner instantly weakened, and his voice became much softer.

"Well... I just don't want her to lose her job because of my problem."

Xiao Xiyue withdrew her gaze.

She picked up her chopsticks, slowly and deliberately took a slice of lotus root, put it in her mouth, and chewed it carefully.

Under Lu Hao's uneasy gaze, she swallowed her food, then gently wiped her mouth with a napkin and spoke softly.

"So, you've come to me, the woman you had an affair with, to deal with the trouble you caused, all for another woman you've been having an affair with?"

Lu Hao was utterly speechless and blurted out, "Would I have done this if it weren't for you?"
