When Love Turns the Tables: The Mysterious Husband's Chase-Chapter 522: Narrow Escape for Old Foes (2)

"I’m sor—..."

Tang Yanqi was wiping the water stains on her hands with her head down and didn’t notice the person coming. Subconsciously, she said sorry but swallowed the words upon seeing the person’s face.

The person standing in front of her looked shocked. Tang Yanqi casually retracted her gaze as if she hadn’t seen her and bypassed her to walk out.

The person seemed to just snap out of it and immediately turned around: "You..."

Tang Yanqi ignored her and continued walking out.

She knew that since she had returned, it was only a matter of time before they met, but having such an encounter here was beyond her expectations. Tang Yanqi curled her lips; indeed, running into someone in the restroom was a cliché that couldn’t be avoided.

Over there, Shen Yao stood rooted in place, her whole body stiff. Was she seeing things?

Why did she just see Tang Yanqi?

Hadn’t she left? Hadn’t she disappeared? Why was she here?

Wait a moment... 𝐟𝚛𝕖𝚎𝕨𝗲𝐛𝚗𝐨𝐯𝐞𝕝.𝐜𝗼𝗺

The key is, Sheng Jianan is also here. Will they run into each other like we did?

No way!

Shen Yao recalled Mrs. Sheng’s tearful words to her before, when Sheng Jianan suddenly went back to the old house to talk about Tang Yanqi. Could it be... could it be that they have already reunited?

Panic emerged in Shen Yao’s eyes. She had thought that as long as Tang Yanqi was gone, she could rightfully stay by his side. Yet, for three years, three years, Sheng Jianan had always treated her with indifference. He dutifully kept his promise; he helped her with anything she needed, but it was merely help.

Occasionally, Sheng Jianan had to attend some banquet. She hinted to him, overtly and covertly, that she wanted to be his date. Whether Sheng Jianan didn’t understand or was just pretending, he brushed it off every time.

And like today, she accompanied Sheng Jianan to socialize, but it wasn’t just the two of them; Shengshi Group’s several executives were also present.

With Tang Yanqi not around, she hadn’t made any progress. Now that she’s back, isn’t that going to make it even harder for her?

Shen Yao unknowingly clenched her hands. No! Absolutely not!

Three years ago, when she came to Sheng Jianan’s side, she wanted to become the Young Madam of the Sheng Family for other reasons too. She wanted to elevate her status within the Shen Family, to make those who had mocked her before come crawling. She longed for the supreme glory that title could bring her.

But now, she simply loved that man. Those things that once seemed so important had lost their significance; she just loved that man, wanted to be his wife, and wanted to spend the rest of her life with him.

Therefore, she would never allow anyone to ruin it. No one.

The panic in Shen Yao’s eyes gradually cooled down and became icy.

Three years ago, she managed to drive Tang Yanqi away, and three years later, she could do it again.

Walking to the sink, Shen Yao looked at her reflection in the mirror, calming her emotions. She took a lipstick from her bag, touched up her makeup, adjusted her clothing and hair, sprayed a little perfume, and then turned to the private room with her most impeccable smile.

The private room was large, with about a dozen people inside, including several business elites, but the most dazzling was the person sitting at the head seat.

Shen Yao returned to her seat and sat down. She was the only woman on Shengshi Group’s side, and everyone evidently regarded her as Sheng Jianan’s companion, having reserved the seat next to him for her right from the start.

With peripheral vision, Shen Yao glanced at the man beside her. Everyone had wine or champagne in front of them, except for Sheng Jianan; he had juice in front of him.
