"Alright, you sweet-talker, who’s been feeding you honey!" Hua Xiaomo said with a laugh, then slowly sat up.

Ye Xiangxue quickly peeled a piece of fruit and handed it to her.

"Xiao Mo, you won’t have to work so hard from now on. Your main focus should be on getting better!" Ye Xiangxue said, then leaned close to Hua Xiaomo, quietly listening to each other’s heartbeats.

"It would be great if you didn’t have to struggle so much. I really hope you recover quickly, Xiao Mo. You can do it!" Ye Xiangxue said with a smile.

"Thank you. I really will get better very soon," Hua Xiaomo said with a smile, then looked at Ye Xiangxue and asked suddenly, "By the way, how are you doing at the company? Are you getting used to it?"

"It’s pretty good. I think the company has a nice environment and nice people. Everyone gets along well, and I believe our company will grow even more," Ye Xiangxue said, looking at Hua Xiaomo with a sympathetic gaze.

"Xiao Mo, I think you should find a man to marry. Actually, I think Zi Yunsui isn’t bad for you. If you two could be boyfriend and girlfriend, that would be nice," Ye Xiangxue said, her eyes sparkling with a mysterious glow.

Hua Xiaomo didn’t say much, just smiled at Ye Xiangxue. "Oh my, let’s not talk about me for now. I’d like to go for a walk. Will you come with me?"

"How is your health now? Can you move around?" Ye Xiangxue asked with concern.

"It’s fine. Just accompany me for a walk," Hua Xiaomo said with a smile.

Then Hua Xiaomo got out of bed and, with Ye Xiangxue by her side, took a walk on the open ground outside the villa. After that, Hua Xiaomo said she wanted to go shopping at the mall and asked Ye Xiangxue to go with her.

The two women were shopping at the mall when they suddenly saw a familiar figure.

"Eh, isn’t that Zi Yunsui? Why is he standing there spacing out?" Ye Xiangxue exclaimed, seeing Zi Yunsui staring blankly in front of a counter. He seemed hesitant to go in.

Hua Xiaomo also looked in that direction. Is he thinking of buying something else for Candy? She already has so many things!

"Let’s go say hello to him!" Ye Xiangxue suggested.

Hua Xiaomo remembered what happened last night, and a shadow still lingered in her heart. She grabbed Ye Xiangxue’s arm. "Let’s not. We shouldn’t disturb him. Maybe he wants to buy something."

With that, Hua Xiaomo pulled Ye Xiangxue into another jewelry store to pick out jewelry.

For some reason, Hua Xiaomo suddenly felt a peculiar sensation in her heart. She bought a lot of jewelry—not only necklaces, rings, and earrings for herself but also a beautiful pair of jade rings for Ye Xiangxue.

"Thank you so much, Xiao Mo! I had no idea you were going to buy so much today!" Ye Xiangxue said with a smile.

"We’re all women. Of course, we should love ourselves. I hardly ever buy these things, but I liked what I saw in this store, so I bought them," Hua Xiaomo said with a smile. Then she and Ye Xiangxue went to a coffee shop.

But in this coffee shop, they saw an unexpectedly familiar figure.

"Isn’t that President Qi? What is he doing here?" Ye Xiangxue asked in astonishment, looking at the two figures in a private booth in the distance.

It seemed they were having a conversation.

Hua Xiaomo was also very surprised. She lifted her head to look toward that private room. Wow! It’s really Qi Longbing! But how could he be in City B? Isn’t that too strange? Why is he here?

But just as Hua Xiaomo was about to look away, Qi Longbing seemed to have already seen her.

Hua Xiaomo’s face turned extremely awkward; she didn’t know what to say. I just aborted his child... our child. I don’t think I can face him anymore.

"Ye Xiangxue, let’s go. I want to eat somewhere else," Hua Xiaomo said, looking at Ye Xiangxue. She really didn’t want to stay here any longer. The sight of that man’s eyes makes me suddenly want to go back!

Ye Xiangxue looked at her, noticing the poor color on her face and her terrible mood. She promptly stood up and put her arm around Hua Xiaomo’s shoulders.

"Then let’s leave this place quickly, Xiao Mo. I was thinking of checking on the company anyway. How about we go there together?" Ye Xiangxue said to Hua Xiaomo, her heart aching for her.

Hua Xiaomo nodded, but just as she was about to leave, another voice sounded by her ear.

"Hua Xiaomo, why do you want to leave as soon as you see me? What does this mean? Aren’t we friends?" Qi Longbing’s voice sounded by her ear, making Hua Xiaomo slightly turn her head.

Hua Xiaomo looked at him, not sure how a smile was even forming on her face.

"I didn’t expect President Qi to be in City B. But I have things to do today, so I won’t keep you company. You have a friend here; please take your time with them. I’m leaving," Hua Xiaomo said hastily, then turned her face away.

Without waiting for Qi Longbing to say anything more, she quickly left the premises.

Yet, as she got into the car, her heart was still pounding violently. I’m so afraid he’ll figure something out! I didn’t keep our child. I don’t know if that was crueler to him or to myself. I’m suddenly so scared.

Qi Longbing watched her hurried departure, his face darkening. He felt a chill deep inside. This woman is really too cold to me. She’s changed; she’s truly changed. It seems that even if I bring her back to my side, she’ll continue to treat me with this indifference. I couldn’t bear that.

Qi Longbing returned to his private room, looking at the business partners waiting there. He said, "Alright, let’s proceed with that arrangement. All plans will continue as scheduled. This time, we must crush that gaming company!" His voice was stern, his heart filled with icy determination.

If I don’t teach Hua Xiaomo a lesson, she won’t learn who truly controls this world! And no matter where she flees, or how rich she becomes, she will always be my woman.

Qi Longbing made up his mind, and soon, new plans began to form.

After some time, once Hua Xiaomo had fully recovered, she went to work at the company, making a special trip to the general manager’s office.

Zi Yunsui was busy at his computer. Seeing her suddenly enter, a flicker of panic crossed his eyes, but he still greeted her with a polite smile.
