Abandoned on a stormy night, I divorced and remarried into a wealthy family.

Gu Huizhou's long-suppressed thoughts flowed like a gentle stream.

He wanted to confine her to his territory, making her belong only to him.

Let those beautiful dreams become reality.

but....

She now belongs to another man, another man who is not good enough for her.

Thinking of this, Gu Huizhou's stern and cold expression darkened further.

That's why he wanted to see her even more, and wanted to have her even more.

Two voices were tearing me apart, but reason prevailed in the end.

He said, "Come and report your progress to me on time!"

Is it appropriate for her to join Huaxing Group?

"Ding-dong!"

The elevator doors opened.

Gu Huizhou stepped out of the elevator.

The flow of people in the hall ultimately prevented Song Qintang from speaking; she simply slowed her pace and followed behind him.

When they arrived at the parking lot, she was just about to speak.

Gu Huizhou paused beside the car. "How's work going?"

Song Qintang looked at him with some shame. She had been hesitant to report to Huaxing all the way there, but he had just been doing his job.

She lowered her head. "It went...it went smoothly."

As she spoke, Song Qintang opened the car door for him and stood respectfully to the side, not daring to be negligent in the slightest.

Gu Huizhou looked at Song Qintang standing by the car door, her head slightly lowered, a mocking smile curving her lips.

Does she really want him to leave?

He canceled his schedule and made a special trip to the hospital to see her.

We barely exchanged two words before he was told to get in the car and leave?

She really has no heart!

Gu Huizhou raised an eyebrow.

As he stepped onto the car, a large hand pulled her along.

Song Qintang practically threw herself into his arms.

The car door closed, and on the cramped back seat floor mat, Song Qintang lay between his legs in an ambiguous posture.

In her panic, she tried to back away, but her body was pulled back by the force on her wrist.

Gu Huizhou watched as a faint blush spread across her face, reaching her earlobes, making her look exquisitely beautiful. Her voice trembled slightly as she said, "Chairman Gu... I..."

"Are you that afraid of me?" Gu Huizhou's deep, cold voice rang out above him.

Song Qintang dared not look.

She was afraid of him, and even more afraid of causing him trouble.

After all, she is not divorced yet, and her status makes it inappropriate for her to have intimate relations with him.

Gu Huizhou looked down at the slender wrist he was clutching in his palm, which turned from white to red, becoming engorged with blood inch by inch.

How could someone be so delicate? He hadn't even exerted any force yet.

Gu Huizhou unconsciously loosened his grip.

With this release, the person between his legs hurriedly fled.

As soon as the figure disappeared, Gu Huizhou closed his eyes and leaned back in the car seat, his body still surging with longing for the moment when she was close to him.

His fingers, resting on his knees, curled involuntarily, his palms still lingering with her soft fragrance.

Song Qintang practically ran all the way into the elevator, her heart still pounding.

Every time she looked into Gu Huizhou's cold eyes, she felt nervous.

Especially just now, the two of them were so close.

Song Qintang felt her face burning and quickly tried to clear her mind of those chaotic thoughts.

I swiped my card to enter the lab and didn't even come out for lunch.

It wasn't until after get off work that I met up with Zeng Zhu at the mall.

I used to accompany Zeng Zhu when she went shopping; she never bought anything for herself.

Even if they were to buy something, it would be for Ms. Mei and Wu Haoqi.

She buys most of her clothes from Taobao, with shipping insurance included, and the price can't exceed 200 yuan.

Today she seemed to have figured things out and chose several outfits for herself.

Zeng Zhu circled around Song Qintang, stroking her chin and teasing, "Is the sun's position correct?"

Song Qintang smiled, "I didn't make a mistake, I just don't want to wrong myself anymore."

Zeng Zhu slapped her hand down, "Yes, that's right! Women who dress their husbands up like respectable men never have a good ending!"

She had advised Song Qintang before to be kinder to herself and not always think about others.

She scrimped and saved to buy things for Wu Haoqi, but he never wore them even once.

Why bother.

There's also Ms. Mei, who bought her things but complained about their low quality and gave them to the maids instead. Little did they know that those were brands that Song Qintang herself wouldn't even wear.

Seeing that Song Qintang had come to her senses, Zeng Zhu was genuinely happy for her.

They were even more enthusiastic than the shop assistants in recommending products to her.

While waiting for Zeng Zhu to try on clothes, they ran into Long Jianjia and the eldest daughter of the Lin family.

Miss Lin looked at Song Qintang on the sand with a half-smile, then covered her mouth and mocked, "Oh! Isn't this Miss Song? Why didn't you go shopping for older women's clothing today? You know, that dark purple dress you wore last time was absolutely stunning. Most people don't have that kind of taste, so older women's clothing suits you better!"

Song Qintang raised her eyes, a natural smile on her face: "I also think that bright purple dress has terrible taste. Perhaps Miss Lin could ask Jianjia for me how she came to like it!"

Upon hearing this, Miss Lin turned to look at Long Jianjia.

Long Jianjia hurriedly explained, "Sister Lin, I meant well. I just thought that color suited my sister-in-law quite well."

Song Qintang nodded. "I also think your taste matches that dress quite well."

After saying that, Song Qintang took out her phone and started scrolling, not wanting to continue the conversation.

The two were quite sensible; they forced smiles and went to the display area to make their own selections.

But when it came time to pay the bill, Long Jianjia spoke up, "Sister-in-law, I gave you a dress last time, shouldn't you give me one this time too?"

She knew Song Qintang was poor and particularly concerned about money, so she deliberately chose the most expensive one to make things difficult for her.

It's only fair to reciprocate. If Song Qintang doesn't buy her something today, she'll be the subject of endless gossip in Suzhou's elite circles.

Zeng Zhu was about to speak when Song Qintang pulled her behind her. "Sure, show me the payment records first so I can know what's going on. I can't take advantage of you."

Zeng Zhu was stunned. She leaned close to her ear and whispered, "You're alive?"

This was the first time Zeng Zhu felt that Song Qintang had changed. The Song Qintang of the past was too weak, which is why she was bullied so badly.

She would always stand up for her, and in the end, Song Qintang would tell her to let it go.

Her pathetic appearance caused her breast ducts to become blocked.

Long Jianjia was taken aback. Wu Haoqi had paid for the dress last time, so she couldn't possibly have any payment record.

Miss Lin is still here; Song Qintang is deliberately making things difficult for herself.

It's just a dress. If Wu Lihu hadn't cut off her source of income, she would have bought ten of them without batting an eye.

She didn't want to come today, but Miss Lin insisted on inviting her. To save face, she didn't mention that she didn't even have enough money to buy a cup of milk tea.

If Song Qintang doesn't pay the bill, she'll really be embarrassed.

Long Jianjia forced a smile that looked more like a grimace amidst her awkward expression.

"Sister-in-law, we're all family. Aren't you being too formal?"

How could Song Qintang not know what she was thinking? She smiled faintly and said, "As the saying goes, even close brothers should keep clear accounts. You said it yourself, we are family, so even close sisters should keep clear accounts, right? I can't take advantage of you."

Upon hearing Song Qintang's words, Long Jianjia froze on the spot.

Miss Lin nudged her awkwardly, "Take it out! Didn't you say your sister-in-law is a parasite in your family? Let's give her a good beating today!"
