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

Looking at Fang Ruoyun's sickly yet excited face, Lu Hao's heart sank.

This woman is a bit abnormal.

Abnormal people don't play by the rules.

An absurd idea popped into Lu Hao's mind.

He stared intently into Fang Ruoyun's eyes, which were inches away from his own, and squeezed out a few words in a dry voice: "You've already set a trap for Xiao Xiyue?"

"Oh?" Fang Ruoyun was somewhat surprised, and the crazy expression on her face subsided. Instead of backing away, she moved even closer, looking at Lu Hao with interest. "It seems you're not so stupid after all."

Her warm breath, carrying a sweet perfume scent, brushed against Lu Hao's face as she spoke, but it calmed his mind.

"Having cloud travel companies help you with the planning is part of your plan from the very beginning."

Fang Ruoyun's eyes lit up, as if she had found an interesting toy: "You're smarter than I thought."

Lu Hao reached into his crumpled pocket, pulled out a cigarette, and put it in his mouth.

Without even glancing at the woman in front of him, he lit the cigarette, took a deep drag, and then exhaled a thick cloud of white smoke, spraying it onto Fang Ruoyun's face.

Fang Ruoyun frowned slightly, but remained in the same position and did not leave.

"You two have a good relationship, Vice President Li," Lu Hao's voice sounded somewhat ethereal through the smoke, but his logic was exceptionally clear. "When he met you, he casually mentioned my name, right?"

Fang Ruoyun nodded in satisfaction: "Continue."

Lu Hao took another deep drag of his cigarette, exhaling smoke from his mouth and nose as he spoke.

"You knew I worked at Yunyou Company and that I helped Xiao Xiyue with her proposal. So, you deliberately gave me the Yunlan Clothing project proposal, knowing I would leak it to Xiao Xiyue. That way, I became your leverage against her, right?"

"That's right, I was quite surprised that you were able to figure things out in such a short time."

After Fang Ruoyun finished speaking, she leaned forward again, pressing her entire body against Lu Hao, their noses barely visible. "But I didn't expect Su Yu to be able to get Gu Yunfeng to intervene. Otherwise, you'd probably be in some detention center right now, contemplating life."

Lu Hao's eyes narrowed, and he met her gaze coldly: "So, when Xiao Xiyue pleaded with you, you didn't agree at all. It wasn't until Gu Yunfeng intervened that you went along with it and made another demand of Xiao Xiyue."

"And the condition is that she, Xiao Xiyue, stop contacting me, right?"

"Sometimes you're so smart it's annoying," Fang Ruoyun straightened up, tacitly admitting it. "But so what if you know now? Xiao Xiyue is a woman of her word; she'll always do what she promises."

"But you still won't let her go."

"Because..." Fang Ruoyun's eyes turned fervent again, "I feel that having you in my grasp and watching her struggle in pain is much more fulfilling than simply making her cut off all ties with you."

Lu Hao's heart sank completely.

Fang Ruoyun in front of him was like an invisible mountain, making it hard for him to breathe.

The feeling of helplessness—that no matter how much he struggled, he couldn't escape the other person's grasp—made him, for a moment, want to simply give in.

But when I think of the pride Xiao Xiyue sacrificed for me, when I think of Lin Ran who was almost implicated, and that silly Su Yu who was also dragged into it...

Anger overwhelmed powerlessness.

But he couldn't think of any way to retaliate.

unless……

Kill this crazy woman...

The thought had barely crossed his mind when he saw Fang Ruoyun's face magnify in his pupils, and felt a delicate and soft touch on her lips.

With a soft creak, the door to the lounge was pushed open from the outside.

At the doorway, Xiao Xiyue and Su Yu stood frozen in place.

What they saw was Fang Ruoyun, dressed as a bridesmaid, pressing herself against Lu Hao and passionately kissing him.

Su Yu was stunned, and her bright eyes instantly filled with tears.

Xiao Xiyue's eyelashes trembled violently, a mixture of surprise, anger, humiliation, and resentment...

Countless emotions churned in her eyes, but she ultimately suppressed them, transforming them into a calm.

Without saying a word, she turned and left without the slightest hesitation.

"Let's go!"

The cold voice brought Su Yu back to her senses. She took one last look at the room, closed the door, and quickly followed Xiao Xiyue.

The moment the door closed, Lu Hao finally reacted in the lounge and pushed Fang Ruoyun away.

Caught off guard, Fang Ruoyun lost her balance and fell onto the carpet.

"Are you crazy!" Lu Hao stood up, leaning on the sofa, and roared at her.

He hadn't noticed anything that had just happened at the door; he only felt that the woman's behavior was beyond his comprehension.

Fang Ruoyun gently wiped her lips with her thumb, glancing subtly at the half-open door, and understood immediately.

Ignoring Lu Hao's anger, she sat cross-legged on the ground and said calmly, "You didn't react like this at the bar."

"That's because I didn't know you were this kind of woman!"

"hehe……"

Fang Ruoyun smiled calmly, even shifting her legs to a more girlish duck-sitting position, hands on the carpet, body leaning slightly forward, looking at Lu Hao with seductive eyes, "What's wrong with me? Am I inferior to Xiao Xiyue? Or inferior to Su Yu? Or perhaps, inferior to your 'good manager' Lin Ran?"

Lu Hao took a deep breath and closed his eyes.

This woman is a highly poisonous poppy; she may be beautiful, but touching her could lead to utter ruin.

She did all this simply to provoke Xiao Xiyue and satisfy her long-suppressed, perverse competitive spirit.

Lu Hao knew he wasn't a good person, and sometimes he wasn't even human. But he couldn't bring himself to provoke another woman who had been kind to him.

"Get your act out, I'm sleepy." Lu Hao was too lazy to waste any more words with her.

Once he leaves this place, he must go find Xiao Xiyue immediately.

He wouldn't let Xiao Xiyue suffer this injustice for nothing.

"The play..." Fang Ruoyun stood up, slowly straightening the wrinkles in her dress, her voice filled with a pleasant laugh, "It's already finished."

Lu Hao suddenly opened his eyes: "What did you say?"

"I said, the show is over, you can leave now." Fang Ruoyun straightened her clothes, didn't even glance at Lu Hao again, and went straight to the sofa next to her to sit down and cross her legs.

Lu Hao's mind went blank for a moment, and he instantly realized something.

He noticed throughout the entire event that he did not see Xiao Xiyue.

Unless... his vision was completely blocked the moment he was kissed.

"Fang Ruoyun, you're a fucking lunatic!" Lu Hao cursed through gritted teeth.

"Hehehe..." Fang Ruoyun let out a strange laugh, then tilted her head and looked at Lu Hao with amusement, "How about it? Does my laugh have the air of a great demon king?"

Lu Hao ignored the crazy woman and turned to walk quickly toward the door.

Just as his hand touched the doorknob, Fang Ruoyun's voice rang out again.

"I'll give you one day to think it over. If you agree to be my boyfriend, I'll transfer five million to your account immediately... In addition, I have more industry resources than you can use."
