Chapter 706: Does My Life Revolve Around You?
“From now on, I’ll pamper her and treat her like a real crown princess consort. Alright?” Old Master Sheng was helpless. It was embarra.s.sing to be constantly nagged at by his old friend.
“That’s more like it… When Third Brother is done, hurry up and treat me to a wedding banquet.”
Old Master Sheng chuckled. He was silent for a moment before he told Old Master Shen, “Qiqi asked me to buy something for Xiao Ren. I forgot about it.”
“Next time, bring it directly to Huang Yao and let her choose for herself.”
Old Master Sheng nodded. He did not care about these external things at all. “Good suggestion.”
Speaking of luck, Ren Yufei could be considered one lucky girl.
Everyone in the Sheng family had been tortured by Old Master Sheng, but she was the only one who had escaped that.
“Your birthday is around the corner.”
Hearing this, Old Man Sheng was stunned. “You still remember?”
Old Man Sheng thought that it was going to be a reunion birthday, but it was not the case…
..
Huang Yao, President’s office.
Through a gla.s.s window, Sheng Bowen secretly looked at Ren Yufei several times while he was dealing with work. The feeling of having a girlfriend was indeed wonderful, so he couldn’t help wanting to take a few more glances at her.
He couldn’t be too intimate with her at the company, but he could at least send her home, right?
Although it was time to get off work, Sheng Bowen worked overtime at the company as usual. Ren Yufei sent new doc.u.ments to the office and then said to him, “President, you have a visitor.”
“Come with me after work.” Sheng Bowen raised his head and said to Ren Yufei. Then, he saw Hu Ran standing behind her.
No wonder Ren Yufei was expressionless.
Then, Sheng Bowen closed the doc.u.ment and stopped smiling. He said to Hu Ran in a business-like tone, “Why are you here at this hour?”
“Third Brother, I want to have dinner with you.”
“I have a date tonight,” Sheng Bowen said directly. He also intended to completely ignore how obviously Hu Ran had specially dressed up. After all, now that his real girlfriend and ex-wife were here, he had to be careful to avoid awkwardness.
“In that case, I have something to say to you here.” After saying that, Hu Ran turned to look at Ren Yufei. “I wonder if Secretary Ren can leave?”
“I’m off work now, President.” Ren Yufei immediately turned around and left the office.
Sheng Bowen saw Ren Yufei leave and took out his phone to send her a message. “Wait for me outside for a few minutes. I’ll be out soon.”
Ren Yufei leaned against the door. She did not feel good, but when she saw the message from Sheng Bowen, she finally… felt a little better.
“If you have anything to say, say it now.” Sheng Bowen sat down opposite Hu Ran and looked at his watch. “I’m in a hurry.”
Hu Ran’s face was a little embarra.s.sed, but after a few seconds of preparation, she said, “Third Brother… I still want to return to your side. These days, my father arranged for me to meet some outstanding men, but once I see them, your face will automatically appear in my mind. SoI want to start over with you.”
Sheng Bowen listened to these words and carefully looked at Hu Ran. He was quiet for a moment. Then, he chuckled and said, “Hu Ran, you proposed the divorce because you felt that there was no love between us. I understood and accepted it. I thought that your decision at that time was… prudent.
“But now, you want to start over. You were the one who wanted the divorce, and you’re the one who wants to start over. Does my life revolve around you?”
Hu Ran did not expect Sheng Bowen to question her.
“I know I’m wrong. Third Brother, let me make it up to you. After losing you, I know what real panic is.”
Sheng Bowen shook his head and seriously advised Hu Ran, “Xiao Ran, stop wasting time on me. I’ve already walked away. I hope you can too, okay?”
“You… Are you in love with another woman?” Hu Ran suddenly asked Sheng Bowen.
“It has nothing to do with anyone. It’s just that as a man, I have my dignity. I hope you won’t look for me again in the future. That way, maybe we can still remember the beautiful things that we once had.” Sheng Bowen’s words had already made his meaning very clear.
“I…”
“Third Brother… I know that I was impulsive back then when I brought up the divorce, but it’s precisely because of this that I have to lower myself to come to you again. I don’t treat you like a toy. You’re my benefactor.”
From Hu Ran’s eyes, Sheng Bowen did not see her feelings. What he saw was only her unwillingness.
She did not know when it started, but she had treated the loyal and honest Sheng Bowen as her own property. Before the divorce, she had never felt it, but after the divorce, she slowly realized this fact.
In the past, she had felt that Sheng Bowen was always there, and that he was soft-hearted. As long as she told him that she regretted it, he would definitely agree to remarry. Hu Ran had always held this thought in her heart.
However, although Sheng Bowen was a slow-tempered person, he was not a fool.
He understood many things.
Moreover, a person who could spend two years pretending to be a fool would definitely not be as healthy as a normal person. She just hadn’t noticed the hidden side of him.
“Hu Ran, we really can’t go back.”
Hearing these words, Hu Ran’s self-esteem suffered a heavy blow.
She had really put down her dignity and did not even care about her image. It was only then could she muster up the courage to come to Huang Yao for Sheng Bowen to get back together. However, he had actually refused her.
“Third Brother…”
“I’ll get someone to send you back.” After Sheng Bowen said this, he walked out of the office and found an employee of the company to send Hu Ran home.
Hu Ran took a deep breath. Her emotions were complex. She was reluctant to part with him, but at the same time, she felt that it was not worth it. She even felt that she must have gone crazy to ask Sheng Bowen to remarry her.
“Miss Hu, please…”
Hu Ran looked at the unfamiliar staff and made a request to Sheng Bowen. “I want your secretary to send me back.”
“We have an appointment at 6:30, so she can’t send you back.”
Sheng Bowen’s tone was very light, but he was very decisive. He did not give anyone the chance to reject him.
Hu Ran chuckled and nodded. “I understand.”
After saying that, she turned around and left Huang Yao. She had been overly confident in herself.
Sheng Bowen looked like he was easy to bully and easy to handle. However, once he had decided on something, even a nine-headed bull would not be able to pull him back. Most importantly, his secretary…
A woman’s intuition can’t be wrong. Sheng Bowen definitely had a special relations.h.i.+p with his secretary.
How long had it been since their divorce? Sheng Bowen was said to be loyal, but wasn’t he just falling for any girl he saw?
But she had never thought that… she and Sheng Bowen had divorced…
Since it didn’t matter anymore, wasn’t it his freedom to like anyone?
..
After Hu Ran left, Sheng Bowen felt quite distressed. He began to consider ending Ren Yufei’s position as a secretary.
Because he wanted to openly block Hu Ran. But if Ren Yufei did agree to it, Hu Ran would take the opportunity to make things difficult for her.
