Chapter 806: Chapter 764: Her Heart Ached Uncontrollably Again

The key to success or failure this time isn’t Lou Xining or Lou Xinyu, it’s Wen Yaonan...

If Wen Yaonan can win Lou Xinyu’s heart, then wouldn’t the marriage contract time for both parties be evened out?

So, for Wen Yaonan, this is truly a long and challenging task!

He was just pretending to tell Lou Xinyu the truth, wanting to secretly matchmake the two of them.

There was no so-called betrayal of brothers.

It’s just that we can’t tell Wen Yaonan openly yet, keeping him anxious might not be a bad thing.

"How to compensate her is none of your concern." Shang Dongyuan replied indifferently, directly ignoring all of Wen Yaonan’s sarcasm.

Yet Wen Yaonan couldn’t do anything about him and could only be oppressed without mercy.

...

The two people in the living room were chatting enthusiastically, neither noticing a small figure slowly walking out of the kitchen and going upstairs in the dark.

Chu Xiaoge’s face did not look good.

She ran hot water, soaking in the bathtub, dazing out.

Yesterday she heard Alan mentioning the woman Shang Dongyuan had been searching for, she didn’t want to dwell on it, but today she heard Wen Yaonan’s words...

Her heart ached uncontrollably again.

"Wake up, Xiao Ge, how could he possibly be truly interested in you? He’s just using you, using you to dissolve the marriage contract with Lou Xinyu, then elope with the woman he loves."

Chu Xiaoge kept repeating this harsh reality to herself.

She was really afraid of forgetting and mistakenly believing she truly had his affection and love.

"I’m sorry, Alan, I can’t win his heart. His heart has long been given to that woman..."

"I’m sorry, Chuchu, Mommy can’t let you stay by Daddy’s side. If that woman treats you badly in the future, Mommy’s heart will ache..."

Chu Xiaoge burrowed in the bathtub, continually reflecting on all that had happened during this time.

Counting, the one-month agreement she had with Shang Dongyuan, twelve days had already passed.

There were only half a month left before they were to part ways.

Although she had made up her mind long ago, just thinking about it now made her sad.

Thinking back now, the best part of her days with Shang Dongyuan might just be that she was no longer that afraid of water?

As long as the water didn’t reach her nose, she wasn’t scared.

Just like now, she could soak in the bathtub.

How nice.

...

After finishing work, Shang Dongyuan returned to the bedroom.

The lights were on, but the bed was empty, and the blanket was neatly in place, indicating Chu Xiaoge hadn’t gone to sleep yet.

Narrowing his eyes slightly, Shang Dongyuan had instructed the servant to arrange for Chu Xiaoge to stay in his room, so it must have been correct.

But where had she gone? 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝓮𝒘𝙚𝙗𝒏𝙤𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝒐𝙢

As he wondered, he noticed the bathroom light was on.

Walking over slowly, Shang Dongyuan opened the door.

Surveying the interior and seeing the shower curtain drawn, he walked toward it directly.

Pulling open the shower curtain, he indeed saw Chu Xiaoge soaking in the bathtub.

"How come there’s no sound?"

Shang Dongyuan gave her a once-over, seeing her soaking comfortably, he couldn’t help but tease her, "Aren’t you afraid of water?"

"..." The latter didn’t react, still soaking in the water, her face a little pale.

Only then did Shang Dongyuan frown, reaching out to touch her, "Xiao Ge?"

Once he reached out, he realized the water was already very cold, yet she was still soaking in it.

"The water’s so cold? Chu Xiaoge? Are you okay?" Shang Dongyuan immediately got nervous, both hands gripping her shoulders, shaking her vigorously.
