After breaking up, I realized that Liang Che was like a deaf person who couldn't accept any advice.

It was as if my words had suddenly awakened him, and he admitted to my friends circle that we had broken up, and then he aggressively pursued me.

Every day, he sent flowers, jewelry, and meals prepared by himself to the office.

Even when he heard that I was negotiating business with other companies, he stepped in and facilitated the deals the next day.

I returned the flowers and jewelry, but for the project collaborations, even if he didn't intervene, I could still successfully negotiate, so I accepted them all without hesitation.

Just a month and a half after the breakup, he had already brought in five projects for me.

When I returned home in the evening, my mother cautiously entered my room to inquire about the situation between me and Liang Che.

I chuckled and leaned into her waist, "Just relax, Mom, your daughter won't go back to him."

She sighed in relief, her eyes lighting up again, asking me to take a look at the list of young talents she had chosen for me.

The next day during lunch break, as I was about to look at the list, an unexpected visitor arrived at the office.

Chen Mommo, the girl who should have been hidden away in Liang Che's villa, had somehow managed to sneak into the company building.

She surveyed my office arrogantly, showing no signs of the delicate and meek girl in the private detective photos.

"Miss Zhou, you are beautiful, rich, and come from a good family. We've already broken up, so why are you still holding on to Liang Che?"

I sat back in my chair, staring at her coldly.

"Playing hard to get, pretending to run away, acting weak, sending me anonymous voice messages, and deliberately making me see you three months ago... Wasn't it you from the very beginning who deliberately approached him, stringing him along?"

She sat down on the sofa carelessly, looking self-satisfied.

"I know you look down on someone like me, but no matter what, he's mine now."

I raised an eyebrow, "No matter how cunning you are, you won't be able to enter the Liang family."

"If you don't try, how will you know?"

She smirked at me, suddenly knelt down at my feet, her slender fingers clutching the hem of my dress, crying pitifully.

"Miss Zhou, please spare me, I never wanted to compete with you for A Che. Please delete those photos..."

I lowered my gaze and saw the pigeon egg-sized sapphire ring on her finger - it matched the necklace he had given me.

He gave me the necklace, but he gave the meaningful ring to this woman.

I tugged at the corner of my mouth.

Disappointment had reached such a level that there was no more heartache, only numbness left.

Before I could even react to Chen Mommo's crying, the office door was suddenly pushed open.

Liang Che walked in with a serious expression, striding over to pull Chen Mommo up from the ground.

"Who allowed you to come and find Yun Yun?"

Chen Mommo sobbed with pear blossoms and rain, "But who else can I find! You imprison me, and allow your girlfriend to spread rumors about me being a mistress at my school. A Che, do I deserve to die?"

Liang Che stared at her face, his Adam's apple rolling slightly, his expression softening.

He gestured for the bodyguards to take Chen Mommo away.

"Go back obediently, I'll handle it."

Only after Chen Mommo's figure disappeared from the doorway, did he turn to see my mocking and disgusted expression, a hint of complexity in his eyes.

"Yun Yun, I've promised you that I'll send her away, why can't you let it go?"

I chuckled in exasperation, "Liang Che, if your brain is of no use, you could donate it."

He furrowed his brows, "Why do you have to be so harsh? Besides you, who else knows about me and her? She's still a student, and what you posted on the confession wall and forums at her school, claiming she's a third party, was indeed going too far."

"Furthermore, there's really nothing between me and her, I'm already planning to send her away and start anew with you."

I called the security, "Get Mr. Liang out of here."

He angrily grabbed my hand, "Yun Yun! Must you act this way?"

"I know I was wrong, and I'll cut ties with her. If you delete those rumors from the confession wall, can we start over? What project do you want, I'll give it to you."

I carefully studied the face I had loved for years, but it was as if I truly understood him for the first time in this moment.

I pulled my hand away, my eyes revealing a sense of detachment.

"Liang Che, go to the hospital and get your brain and eyes checked when you have time."

After Liang Che left, I stared at my phone screen.

After a long time, I dialed a number that I hadn't called in six years.

The phone rang once and was answered immediately.

The voice sounded hesitant, "Zhou Yun?"

I got straight to the point, "It's me. There's a marriage proposal now, I wonder if Mr. Lin has any intentions?"
