chapter 22

Fengguang turned away, pretending to ignore him.

Bai Zhe laughed and leaned against the side of her swing while holding her hand. “I’m sorry I came late tonight.”

“You must have forgotten the time because you saw a pretty girl somewhere.”

“There weren’t any pretty girls on my way here but there is definitely one right in front of me.”

Fengguang didn’t bother to look at him and harrumphed. “Smooth-talker.”

“I was fired.”

“What?” She turned back in confusion and noticed he wasn’t wearing any glasses today.

After finally being able to face her directly, Bai Zhe kissed her on the forehead. “Song Mo’s company can’t hold on any longer and he fired his secretary, me.”

“That simple?”

He pondered seriously for a moment. “The reason was mainly because I caused a financial crisis for the company.”

Fengguang: “…”

“Why are you staring at me like that?”

“Speak clearly, what is going on? Did you stop me from going to work because you had a plan already?”

“Correct.” Bai Zhe graciously admitted. “I gave all the information on Zhanan Corporation’s clientele to Yu Li. Yu Li is quite capable and using the information I provided, he was able to steal two thirds of Song Mo’s most loyal clients. Not to mention, Song Mo also spent a large amount on a plot of a land that isn’t worth anything.

Fengguang asked in disbelief, “Is Song Mo that stupid?”

“Silly girl, you need to know that lately because of dating, he’s been throwing all the work he should be doing onto me. Every time there’s a business meeting, everyone is dissatisfied because I’m the only one showing up.

Since the day he gained Song Mo’s trust, Bai Zhe had started to slowly spread his net. In such a large vicinity, it would be difficult to find a tiny hole. And the day someone finally found the hole, everything was already over. Zhanan Corporation was in heavy debt and they also lost the support of the Xia family. Other than closing down, there was no other option.

Speaking of which, this was all thanks to Qiu Niannian. Without her, Song Mo would not have been so drunk in love that he neglected his work. The CEOs in novels who dated all the time without affecting their career were all a lie.

However, there was still one aspect Fengguang didn’t understand. “Why would Yu Li help you? Last time you asked him for help, he declined you.”

“He wanted 30% of Zhanan Corporation’s shares. I agreed.”

“But didn’t you say that Zhanan Corporation is under heavy debt and will soon declare bankruptcy?”

“It’s a pity. Yu Li seemed to misunderstand that I wanted Zhanan Corporation when I only wanted to destroy it. So if he wants 30% of the shares, no one is going to stop him.” And when the shareholders all withdraw, Yu Li and his 30% will have to bear part of the debt as well.

Fengguang laughed as she dove into his embrace. “You tricked Yu Li. Hahaha, I never enjoyed his arrogance. If he were to know you tricked him, he would die of anger!”

Bai Zhe gently stroked her back as if to help her breathe through her laughter.

Once she laughed enough, she looked up, her eyes glittering. “Then… is your revenge over?”

He nodded. His expression before never revealed his anger and desire for revenge and his expression today didn’t reveal his release from finishing his revenge either. He only merely said, “It’s over.”

“Then we…” Fengguang withdrew from his arms and sat up straight, her gaze a bit lost.

Bai Zhe could feel her worries and her helplessness. He raised up her hand and asked, “Take a look, what is this?”

“A ring?!” On her ring finger, was a silver ring that glowed warmly and vibrantly under the sunlight. Fengguang excitedly stood up. “When did you put this on me?”

“When you first ignored me.”

In the beginning, she didn’t want to see him so she didn’t see what he was doing with her hand at the time…

But now was not the time to remember that!

“Y-y-you… What is the meaning of you putting this on me?!”

Bai Zhe also stood up. It was like the night sky had filled his dark eyes, tinted with a bit of light from the sunset which made them warm. “Besides proposing, what other meaning do you think it could have?”

Everything was progressing too quickly. Fengguang flushed red and didn’t say anything for a long time.

“An hour ago, Song Mo and his mother broke off mother-son relations because Song Mo is going to get married with Qiu Niannian.”

She was dumbfounded. “So?”

Bai Zhe pulled her into his arms. “I don’t like to lose to Song Mo.”

“So because of this reason…”

She didn’t finish her words before he passionately kissed her on the lips. This kiss was different from the kisses from before and extremely abnormal. She could feel the message emanating from his body, that he knew she would be his.

Fengguang’s brain felt muddled. Fine, even if it’s because of this reason, she was still willing to marry him.
