Because she was addicted

The company building at night is completely different from the hustle and bustle during the day.

A security guard on duty recognized Wen Jia and greeted her.

After the incident with Lin Zhidong, Wen Jia became famous overnight, and now everyone in the building knows her.

"Secretary Wen, are you still working overtime so late?"

The security guard personally pressed the elevator button for her.

"Thanks."

Wen Jia was excited just thinking about seeing Lu Chenyan later and the look of surprise on his face.

The elevator stopped on the 51rd floor.

The office was pitch black.

Lu Chenyan's office door was tightly closed, and there was no one there.

Wen Jia found it amusing.

You should have called before you came.

Just as they were about to ask where Lu Chenyan was, they heard a voice coming from the president's office next door.

"...Mr. Fu, your plane tickets to England for tomorrow afternoon, along with Miss Shen and Miss Niannian, have been booked. We've also made arrangements with the church and priest there. The wedding is scheduled for the day after tomorrow."

"Yes, don't tell anyone about this, not even Secretary Li."

It was Fu Huaishen's voice.

"Yes, but Mr. Fu, is this really necessary? How will we explain this to Madam?"

"My mother disliked Ali and went so far as to hire someone to break us up. She made us miss out on so many years, and Ali suffered so much because of it. I finally managed to get Ali's forgiveness and agree to put aside our past grievances and start over with me. This time, I will definitely not let things get complicated again."

Fu Huaishen's voice was firm and composed.

"After Ali and I get married in England, I'll bring her and the child back to tell my mother the truth. By then, it will be too late, everything will be settled, and my mother won't be able to object anymore."

Xiao Wu asked, "What about the Tang family?"

Fu Huaishen: "This year, I have compensated the Tang family with quite a few projects, and Tang Guoliang has received far more benefits from me than he expected. As for what Tang Ning did to Ali and Niannian, I have already been lenient enough by not holding her accountable. If the Tang family is still sensible, they should accept my terms and let go obediently."

After a moment of silence, Fu Huaishen continued:

"It'll only be a week or so. After that, I'll be able to make up for all the things I've missed over the past six years."

In the quiet office, the conversation inside sounded exceptionally clear.

Wen Jia became increasingly alarmed as she listened. She tiptoed back towards the office entrance, only to bump into a potted plant in the dim light. The plant fell to the ground with a loud "bang."

The conversation in the president's office came to an abrupt halt when Fu Huaishen suddenly shouted coldly.

"Who's outside?!"

His driver and bodyguard, Xiao Wu, moved with lightning speed and opened the door to the president's office.

Fu Huaishen strode out and saw Wen Jia carrying a takeout bag, walking into the office with her head down, turning on the light and talking on the phone.

"...You didn't tell me you were going back sooner, making me come all this way for nothing! I even bumped into something in the dark, it hurts so much..."

Wen Jia was on the phone, her face filled with tenderness and intoxication.

Hearing Xiao Wu open the door, he looked up in surprise, staring at him and Fu Huaishen behind him, and said speechlessly:

"Mr. Fu? You haven't gone home yet, it's so late."

Fu Huaishen stared at her intently, his expression shifting several times before he finally smiled gently.

"Hmm. What is Secretary Wen doing?"

"Oh, Ah Yan said he was working overtime, so I bought him some porridge for a late-night snack, but he left early..."

She shrugged, stood at the entrance, and smiled, holding the porridge in her hand.

"Honestly, he left without even saying goodbye. I was planning to surprise him!"

Fu Huaishen stepped forward and touched the takeout bag containing the porridge; it was warm to the touch.

"Ah Yan is so lucky to have you as his girlfriend."

Wen Jia smiled sweetly and shyly.

"Mr. Fu, you flatter me. If there's nothing else, I'll be going now."

Fu Huaishen raised his hand to stop him, smiling gently.

"It's getting late, let Xiao Wu take you there."

"Need not!"

Wen Jia's heart was pounding in her throat, but she forced herself to remain calm, shook her phone, and laughed.

"He dared to stand me up, and I just gave him a good scolding. He's on his way to pick me up now. Mr. Fu, you should head home early too. See you tomorrow."

He then called the cleaning department.

"Yes, there's a plant that's been knocked over near the entrance to the CEO's office. Someone come and clean it up. CEO Fu is still working overtime, so please be careful."

……

Fu Huai stared intently at Wen Jia's departing figure. "Go check the surveillance footage."

Xiao Wu nodded, "Mm."

……

Wen Jia didn't know how she got downstairs.

She really wanted to run away, but she calmly pretended that nothing had happened and went out the door, not forgetting to turn back and wave goodbye to Fu Huaishen.

Only after escaping the company building and standing on the summer street, looking at the neon lights as bright as day and the bustling traffic, did she dare to breathe heavily.

My back was soaked with sweat, and it felt uncomfortable sticking to my body.

Fu Huaishen is going to secretly marry Shen Li in England.

This was like a bombshell, leaving her feeling utterly overwhelmed.

Although there were many clues about Fu Huaishen and Shen Li's relationship, the news of their sudden marriage was still too shocking.

Especially now that everyone outside believes that Tang Ning is Fu Huaishen's rightful fiancée.

Fu Huaishen's actions were unintentionally a humiliation of the Tang family.

If the Tang family finds out about this, they won't let it go. Also, will the group's stock price plummet? Will the business be affected? Will Lin Xiao take this opportunity to retaliate?

Will Fu Huaishen's current favorable situation be reversed dramatically because of this marriage?

And what should she do?

In an instant, she deeply regretted her impulsive decision to return to the company that night.

If she hadn't been worried about Lu Chenyan working overtime, she wouldn't have heard about this worrying matter.

By the way, where did Lu Chenyan go again?

She calmed herself down and sent a message to Lu Chenyan.

Where are you?

……

The garden downstairs from Haicheng Hospital.

Lu Chenyan finally managed to coax her into drinking a bowl of porridge, and he took the opportunity to catch his breath. He had just sat down on a garden bench and lit a cigarette when Wen Jia's WeChat message arrived.

Upon seeing Wen Jia's message, his tense nerves finally relaxed a little.

"Have you finished having dinner with Professor Su?"

"Yeah. I thought you were working overtime, so I bought you some porridge. I didn't expect you to have already left."

Attached is a photo of Chaoshan porridge delivery.

In the photo, Wen Jia's small, delicate face appears exceptionally gentle against the neon lights of the street. Her lips are slightly pouting, making her look somewhat unhappy.

Lu Chenyan's heart softened immediately.

The exhaustion and frustration of the night seemed to finally find an outlet. He took a deep drag of his cigarette, pressed the butt against the nearby ashtray, and began typing rapidly.

Where are you right now? I'll come pick you up.

"I took a taxi home."

"I haven't had dinner yet, I'll have some porridge when I get back."

At this moment, Lu Chenyan missed Wen Jia terribly.

I miss her smile, I miss her scent, I miss her sofa, her bed, everything about her home.

He wanted to hug and kiss Wenjia.

I want to hold Wenjia in my arms until the end of time.

Even if he did nothing, just being by her side made him feel incredibly at ease.

But as soon as he stood up, his phone started ringing incessantly.

It was a call from the landline upstairs.

"Mr. Lu? Where are you? The patient started acting up again when you weren't here. She...she cut her wrists!!!"

Lu Chenyan's mind went blank for a moment, and he turned and ran upstairs.
