One intoxicating delight, Pei Shao lures away Xiao Man's wife sodu

  The night is cool as water

  Ye Anning tossed and turned, unable to fall asleep. Shen Yicheng's words kept echoing in her mind, the pain in his eyes was so evident. The past seemed to be rushing towards her like a flood that had burst its banks. Shen Yicheng asked if she could accept him again, if she could forgive him.

  She didn't know, so she didn't answer.

  She took out her phone and looked at the name on the screen, hesitating, but ultimately didn't press it.

  Even if she calls Pei Jun, what can he say? Is he going to tell him that Shen Yicheng wants to get back together with her?

  She's not stupid enough for that, but she inexplicably wants to see him.

  At the most difficult time, Pei Jun was always by her side, so at this moment, she naturally thought of him. Although he didn't say anything at that time, having someone by her side made her not feel lonely.

  Forget it, there are still two days left.

  The day after tomorrow, he'll be back!

  Ye Anning started her formal holiday this afternoon. The two sisters haven't been together for a long time, so they made an appointment with Tian Xinnian to go shopping together.

  "My goodness, did he really say that?" Tian Xinlian put down the tie in her hand and looked at her in surprise.

  Ye Anning pursed her lips and nodded slightly.

  "Men are all the same, don't they? Do they only regret when they've lost everything?" Tian Xinmeng said indignantly. She was more upset about Shen Yicheng's betrayal than Ye Anning because she understood Ye Anning, who was a very soft-hearted person. Shen Yicheng had been in Ye Anning's heart for so many years, and she wouldn't really blame him. But precisely because of this, Tian Xinmeng hated this man even more. He knew what he meant to Ye Anning, yet he still let go of her hand without any regard. Now that he saw Ye Anning had someone else by her side, he wanted to turn back. What did Ye Anning become?

  "What about you?" Tian Xin asked softly, her own thoughts didn't count, the key was to see what Ye Anning herself wanted.

  Ye Anning lowered her eyes and shook her head, "I don't know either, it feels so messy. Ugh, I'm so annoyed! Maybe he was just casually saying that. He and Ye Mingzhu are already engaged, how could they possibly break up just by saying so? Besides, with Ye Mingzhu's personality, would she let someone dump her? Impossible!"

  "That's also true, but An Ning, you'd better think it through clearly. Anyway, I think Pei Jun is quite good to you, what do you think?" Emotional matters are not convenient for outsiders to intervene in, but in her opinion, Pei Jun is much stronger than Shen Yicheng. At least Shen Yicheng can't protect her, and at least Shen Yicheng has never cooked a meal for her with his own hands!

  Ye Anning nodded silently, she didn't tell Tian Xinnian the true relationship between her and Pei Jun, the other party had always thought that she and Pei Jun were freely in love and walked together, but it was just a transaction. She and Shen Yicheng may not have a future, nor did she with Pei Jun.

  "Anning, do you think this one looks good?" Tian Xinnian took a deep brown striped tie and put it on his chest to try it on. Ye Anning glanced at it lightly, "Not bad."

  "Would you like me to buy one for your family's Pei Jun as well?" Tian Xin Nian asked with a gentle smile.

  Ye Anning was taken aback, her fingers brushing against the high-quality tie, and her heart skipped a beat. Was she going to buy it for him?

  "Ah, it's really a narrow road for enemies!" A woman's voice with an unpleasant tone sounded from behind, and the two of them turned their heads to look back, only to find Ye Mingzhu and Chu Xiang.

  This is what they mean by "don't mention ghosts during the day or you'll see one".

  "Anning, are you also buying a tie for Pei Jun?" Ye Mingzhu walked over with a gentle tone, directly taking the tie that Ye Anning was fiddling with in her hand and walking to the mirror to try it on. "Hmm, not bad, I think this one suits Yicheng Ge more, what do you think?"

  "You're addicted to snatching things from others, aren't you!" Tian Xinnian couldn't help but speak up, with so many styles available, Ye Mingzhu insisted on taking the one in An Ning's hand, isn't that just bullying?!

  Ye Anning pressed down Tian Xin's hand and shook her head, "Forget it, let's go. He may not like what I bought anyway."

  Tian Xin looked at her discontentedly, not knowing why she always had to give in to Ye Mingzhu. However, seeing her good friend like this, she couldn't go against her wishes either, so she followed behind her and walked out.

  "Yemingzhu's phone rang at this time, 'Yicheng, want to have dinner together tonight? Okay, I also have a gift for you, yeah, see you tonight.'"

  Behind her was Ye Mingzhu's soft and delicate voice like a little woman, Ye Anning's heart tightened, and she smiled as if she had expected it.

  It's really no big deal.

  "Yi Cheng, take a look and see if you like it. I spotted it this afternoon while shopping." Ye Mingzhu handed over the tie in her hand to Shen Yicheng as if presenting a treasure, but he didn't take it.

  "Mingzhu, I asked you out because there's something I want to talk to you about," Shen Yicheng said with a calm expression.

  Ye Mingzhu seemed to have a premonition, avoiding eye contact and lowering her head to put the tie back on the seat. In a low voice, she said, "If you want to talk, let's eat first, what do you want to eat?"

  "Mingzhu, I want to call off the engagement."

  Ye Mingzhu's smile froze on her face, she couldn't believe it and looked up at him, the next moment the smile on her face became even more radiant, "Yi Cheng, April Fool's Day is over, stop joking, I'm starving, let's order."

  "You know, I wasn't joking..."

  "That's enough! I said I'm hungry and want to eat first!" Ye Mingzhu cut him off sternly, her eyes welling up with tears.

  Shen Yicheng fell silent, staring at her intently, but didn't say a word of comfort. In his apathetic eyes, the glimmer of hope in Ye Mingzhu's eyes gradually extinguished. "Why? Weren't things always good between us? Why suddenly cancel the engagement?"

  "You should know, I never had love for you from the start."

  Ye Mingzhu lowered her eyes, and the crystal tears fell on the desktop, splashing out scattered tear flowers. "Is it because of Ye Anning?"

  "It has nothing to do with her, it's my own decision, I can no longer deceive myself."

  "Why was she so important to you in your heart, yet you chose to be with me for the sake of your career? You chose me, why did you want to abandon me!" Ye Mingzhu looked at him with a sorrowful expression. "Yi Cheng, wasn't I good enough for you? What do you want me to do? After all these years together, can't you see my heart for you?"

  As he recalled the past, Shen Yicheng's eyes finally showed some fluctuation, only it was regret for the past. "The most regrettable thing I've done in my life is to give up on her for the sake of my career, so I want to make amends while there's still time. Mingzhu, I'm sorry."

  Ye Mingzhu looked at him, suddenly smiled, what a cruel sentence, her beloved man told her with a cold face that the last regret of his life was to get engaged to her, and what he cared about most in his heart was actually Ye Anning, whom she hated the most.

  "I won't agree! I won't cancel the engagement, absolutely not!" Ye Mingzhu said firmly, her downcast eyes full of resentment.

  "Sorry, I'm not here to ask for your opinion, I just came to inform you that tonight when I go back, I will have a showdown with my father."

  Ye Mingzhu couldn't hold back her tears anymore, looking at him with a sorrowful expression. "Are you crazy? Do I need to remind you that if you cancel the engagement now, you'll lose Shen Corporation's backing? With your own strength alone, can you win against Shen Yechi? All your previous efforts will be in vain, and Shen Corporation will fall into Shen Yechi's hands!"

  Shen Yicheng smiled faintly and said, "I know."

  "Do you know? You knew, yet you still chose to be reckless?"

  "Yes."

  "Shen Yicheng, you bastard!" Ye Mingzhu could no longer sit still, slammed the tie box on her bag to the ground and turned around and ran out of the restaurant.

  Shen Yicheng couldn't help but laugh, this engagement had brought him too much burden. In the midst of those aristocratic families' intrigue and struggle for power, he felt himself getting lost gradually. He was very clear that dissolving this engagement would mean giving up Shen's family to others, yet now he felt a sense of relief he had never experienced before.

  He took out his phone, his fingertips quickly tapping on the screen, and pressed the send button. He stood there for a long time, waiting in vain for a response, and only left the restaurant with a self-mocking smile.

  Ye Mingzhu leaned on the steering wheel, her sour tears almost drowning her. She was unwilling to accept this, she really didn't want to accept it. Taking out her phone, she directly dialed Ye Anning's number.

  Ye Anning was holding her phone in a daze when the ringtone suddenly went off, startling her. She hesitated for a moment before answering, only to be met with Ye Mingzhu's furious voice on the other end of the line. "Ye Anning, you're such a despicable person! Don't think you've won just yet, I haven't lost and I will absolutely not let him go to you! It's no wonder that daughters are like their mothers - your mother is shameless and so are you! Your mother stole my mother's man, and now you're coming after my fiancé? I will never forgive you, Ye Anning! You just wait and see, I'll make you regret this!"

  Ye Mingzhu yelled and directly threw the phone out, Ye Anning dazedly held the phone, her ear buzzing with the sound of Ye Mingzhu's yell, the call automatically hung up, on the screen displayed a newly opened text message interface, a message from Shen Yicheng: Give me a chance, can we start again?

  There's another one behind!
