Chapter 7

　　In President Gu\'s office...

　　Donny put several documents to be signed on his desk. \"Mr. Gu, this is the promotional plan that Mr. Qiao has just sent, and here is the detailed information about Lauren Xu.

　　\"I knew I recognized her. She\'s your ex-wife, right? Why is she here though? She must\'ve realized she couldn\'t survive on her own and decided to get closer to you through work,\" Donny teased.

　　\"Don\'t you have more work to do?\" Terrence replied emotionlessly.

　　\"Forgive me, sir, I was out of line.\"

　　Donny clearly felt his annoyance, but he just smiled and said to himself, \"I\'m just curious...\"

　　Having been with Terrence for many years, he often thought to himself, how could a foresighted person like him marry a woman he doesn\'t love for five years?

　　Another thing to take note of was that five years after the divorce, his ex-wife was in front of him again, and he didn\'t bother to drive her away.

　　Take the accidental incident two days ago, he spent so much effort to make up for it. Normally, he would not tolerate this kind of person staying in the company at all.

　　This was not in line with his character. He wasn\'t kind enough to pity and cherish a woman like her. He was very curious about what Terrence was planning.

　　\"What are you doing? Did you bring the Qiao Group\'s advertising plan?\"

　　Donny returned to his senses and put away his joking face. \"I brought it.\"

　　Terrence stretched out his hand to take it without raising his head. \"Is there anything else?\"

　　Donny immediately replied, \"Leonora Xu called a few times, saying that it was her birthday, and she wants you to accompany her to pick up Simeon from school, and then go to the party to celebrate.\"

　　Simeon was President Gu\'s son, and Donny liked the kid very much.

　　Terrence\'s hand paused. \"When was the last time I saw her?\"

　　Donny replied, \"About a week.\"

　　\"Postpone the rest of my schedule until tomorrow. Help me pick a birthday present and have it delivered to my desk before five o\'clock.\"

　　\"Will do, sir,\" Donny turned around and left quickly.

　　At five o\'clock, Lauren grabbed her bag and hurried out.

　　Today was a Friday. She hasn\'t been picking up Christine for a whole week. The little girl complained to her last night and said that her grandmother would not allow her to eat this and that, and that she was very upset.

　　Christine was still young, and she loved to eat sweets but Lauren couldn\'t buy as much to save money.

　　Sometimes, she considers if finding a man to rely on would be a good thing, that way Christine wouldn\'t have to suffer as much as her.

　　Lauren stood in front of the elevator, waiting for it to slowly descend from the top floor.

　　Suddenly, the meeting room door on the left side was opened.

　　\"President, your personal elevator is under maintenance today, please take the normal ones,\" Donny reminded Terrence with a pink gift bag in his hand.

　　Terrence, who had already turned, retreated, hurriedly walked in the direction of Lauren and the elevators.

　　Lauren stepped into the elevator with her front foot, and hurriedly pressed the close button after hearing the conversation outside the elevator.

　　It was halfway closed but Donny stretched out his hand to stop the doors. \"Hold it, please.\"

　　Reluctantly, Lauren could only admit that she was unlucky. She gave way to the side, and respectfully greeted, \"President Gu.\"

　　Terrence gave a hum, his voice was as calm as water.

　　The confined space was very quiet, and even the frequency of his breathing can be heard clearly. Eventually, the elevator landed on the ground floor.

　　Terrence and his assistant walked out, leaving Lauren at the end.

　　She saw the pink bag in Donny\'s hand sharply, and without thinking about it, she knew it was for a woman.

　　She remembered that today was Leonora\'s birthday. He took some time off his busy schedule and even bought a gift for her. Lauren could only laugh at herself. What did he do for her during their five years of marriage?

　　The light in the hall was so strong that she couldn\'t open her eyes.

　　As soon as he went out, he was surrounded by people, and his height of 185 centimeters made him stand out from the crowd.

　　This was his world. He was always in the spotlight, always dazzling. This made her more aware that his world would never tolerate her. He was destined to belong to the only angel on Earth, Leonora.

　　Inside an ordinary bilingual kindergarten in Yuncheng...

　　Christine and her tablemate Simeon stood hand in hand, waiting for their parents to pick them up.

　　\"Christine is a child without a father, and her father doesn\'t want her,\" several children bullied her.

　　Simeon was not angry, but he was dragged back by Christine, \"Simeon, ignore them.\"

　　Lauren told her that she needs to overcome hardship if she wants to be as strong as her, which is why Christine was determined to keep ignoring them.

　　\"Do you have something to say? We\'re not scared of Simeon, you know?\"

　　Kyle Xiao was the ringleader of the children, and almost all children in the kindergarten were afraid of him.

　　\"Christine doesn\'t have a daddy! Christine doesn\'t have a daddy! Christine doesn\'t have a daddy!\"

　　Kyle yelled with a few children who often played with him, and the whole kindergarten was instantly filled with the sounds of Kyle\'s yelling.

　　Simeon was not a child who could endure. He stepped forward and pushed Kyle down, \"Christine is my girlfriend! If you want to embarrass her, you have to ask me first!\"
