The car eased to a gentle stop before the modest apartment tucked into the edge of the estate. The evening sun cast a golden hue over the pavement, washing the neighborhood in soft light. Sheng Tiaorun stepped out first and walked over to Lin Wei’s door, opening it like a silent habit.
“Thank you,” Lin Wei said softly as she stepped down, her eyes lingering briefly on the tidy rows of homes around them. The estate was calm, quiet—nothing like the tense pace of the city or the muted luxury of the hotel. This just felt different. Almost... gentle.“You’ll be safe here,” he said, his deep voice matching the calm around them. “The landlord already knows you’re arriving today. He’ll send the keys and receipt tonight.”She blinked, taken aback. “I thought it will take a day or two for it to arrive ?”He didn’t answer directly. “Is that what you think,this is a different place unlike the one's you've been staying at before ,” he said simply, eyes on theLin wei packed the neatly arranged items into a cardboard box, which quickly filled up. She said, "Boss Tiaorun's mind is hard to read, so we just follow orders." "But are you willing to do this?" Su rina asked in a low voice. Lin wei was taken aback and her smile faded. Su rina sympathized with her, "You've been with General Sheng for four years, and I thought you two would end up together. I didn't expect him to be so heartless..." "Be careful what you say, Aru," Lin wei reminded her lightly. Seeing that Su rina was still indignant, she sighed and handed her a manual, "These are some of General Sheng's habits that I usually record. You can refer to it, but don't touch his sore spots." Su rina took it excitedly and flipped through it, but her face fell instantly, "Oh my god, General Sheng has so many bad habits. Lin, you've had it tough these past few years."Lin wei patted her shoulder, picked up the cardboard box, and walked out of the secretary's office, taking the elevator to
Leaving the hospital, Lin wei sat in the passenger seat without saying a word. She wasn't actually a person who spoke little, but when she was with Sheng Tiaorun, she often didn't know what to say. It seemed like everything she said, except for work-related matters, was wrong. The phone rang, and Sheng Tiaorun answered it. She didn't know what the other person said, but he responded with a flat "Hmm" before hanging up. Then, he turned the steering wheel and parked the car at the entrance of the elevated highway. He spoke coldly, "Take a cab back by yourself."Lin wei looked at the busy traffic on the elevated bridge and then glanced down at her torn dress. "This is the elevated highway, and my dress is torn." "So what?" Sheng Tiaorun's voice was devoid of any emotion, cold and heartless.Lin wei stared at him for a few seconds, then silently opened the door and got out of the car. As soon as she closed the door, the black Maybach eagerly sped away and disappeared into the night in
With a loud bang, lightning flashed and thunder roared outside the window, and the pouring rain came down heavily. Lin wei curled up on the sickbed, her stomach spasming, her eyelashes trembling, and at this moment, Sheng Tiaorun probably already knew the truth. How would he deal with her? Would he divorce her now? it is probably for the best right? The word "divorce" slipped through her mind, and her stomach hurt even more. Actually, it would be better if they divorced. They wouldn't have to torture each other anymore. For both of them, it would be a relief. "Bang!" The door of the ward was violently kicked open, and Lin wei opened her eyes in shock, seeing a tall figure with thunderous anger stepping into the ward. At this moment, his eyes were dark and fierce, like a devil, particularly terrifying. She was very frightened, and crawled off the bed in a panic, but because she was too hasty, she ended up rolling off the bed with the blanket. With a "plop on the f
Lin wei couldn't help trembling with fear of Sheng Tiaorun. This fear had been deeply rooted in her since their first meeting as adults though maybe not as much as these. she was a rookie intern standing at the end of the line, watching Sheng Tiaorun being surrounded by a group of people as he walked in. He was wearing a well-tailored black suit with a white shirt that highlighted his striking features. He was ruthless and decisive in his actions. After he took office, there was a major reshuffle of the company's management, and it was a time of bloodshed and terror for everyone. For a long time afterwards, whenever the company's employees mentioned him, they were terrified and referred to him as the "cold-faced Lord". Lin wei was also afraid of him. At this moment, his face was so terrifyingly dark that it was even more frightening than when he was in the courtyard just now. She lowered her gaze and stared at his perfectly pressed trouser legs. She thought to herself that no ma
Lin wei's stomach was in pain. She hadn't eaten anything all day and was vomiting only acid, which burned her throat and made tears roll down her face. She crouched beside a garbage bin, suddenly overwhelmed with sadness. How did she end up living like this? Sheng Tiaorun was already in a bad mood, and seeing her crouched there crying made his handsome face darken. A flash of darkness passed through his deep pupils. He strode forward and grabbed her wrist, forcefully pulling her up from the ground. "Why are you crying? You're just ignoring what I said and feeling sorry for yourself, aren't you?" Lin wei was already feeling terrible, and she didn't expect him to be there, mocking her. "Sheng Tiaorun, I hate you. Can't you just disappear from my sight?" Lin wei's nose was red from crying, and although she was terrified of him, she couldn't help but scratch at him. Sheng Tiaorun's eyes were filled with anger, and the moment she said those words, any softness he had felt before disa
Madam Sheng has always been relaxed about her grandson's affairs. None of her female colleagues had become grandmothers, so she wasn't in a hurry. However, now that Lady Jin has suddenly become a grandmother, Madam Sheng is both envious and jealous as she watches her holding Little xiaoxiao and laughing uncontrollably. She can no longer maintain her laid-back attitude. Lin wei purses her lips and remains silent. She thought that Sheng Tiaroun would come up with an excuse to appease Madam Sheng as he had done before, but he doesn't say anything this time. She looks up at him, and in the brightly lit banquet hall,his handsome and sharp eyebrows and eyes are reflected. He stares at her silently, with no intention of helping her. "I'm talking to you. Why are you looking at Tiaroun?" Madam Sheng becomes impatient. "You'll go to the hospital tomorrow to check your body, and then stay at home to prepare for pregnancy." "Mom," Lin wei feels bitter in her heart. Her mother has an opposit
