Over there, as soon as Panpan saw Chu Xiaoge sit down, she quietly raised her volume and the scale of her conversation content.

"Dongyuan, I know you’ve been looking for me all these years; you must have me in your heart."

Shang Dongyuan heard this, frowned slightly, and leaned back in his chair, silent.

He hadn’t seen Panpan these days, the Lou Family had withdrawn all cooperation with the Shang Family, and just that was enough to keep Shang Dongyuan busy for quite a while.

After finishing work each day, he just wanted to go home and see Chu Xiaoge and Chuchu, and didn’t have time to think about Panpan.

It was only because he had some free time today that he agreed to come out and clear everything up.

As for Panpan...

She only knew that five years ago, Shang Dongyuan booked a room with a woman; she hadn’t seen the woman’s face, and unexpectedly, Shang Dongyuan hadn’t seen clearly either, even mistakenly believing that the woman he had relations with was her.

Once you start in this line of work, it’s hard to turn back from the very first time.

Panpan had been drifting on this path for five years; though she never worried about food or clothing, it was never a stable life.

Just as Sister CiCi said, a woman still has to look out for a long-term livelihood for herself.

She seriously considered it, thinking that since Shang Dongyuan couldn’t recognize who was who, why not take this opportunity to stay by his side?

"I don’t ask for status, just to be able to stay by your side. Even if... you have children, I have no regrets."

These days, the headlines in the newspapers were all about Shang Dongyuan’s hidden marriage and daughter; Panpan knew that to stay by Shang Dongyuan’s side forever, the first thing she needed was to drive away that woman called Chu Xiaoge.

So she secretly found out Chu Xiaoge’s phone number, arranged to meet her, and even carefully arranged today’s scene, all for her to see.

But Shang Dongyuan never thought of doing anything with Panpan; he didn’t expect her to come onto him actively.

He had no feelings for her and intended to reject her outright, but recalling that night five years ago, he couldn’t be resolute.

He could only sigh, softened his tone, "Have you been well these years?"

Shang Dongyuan’s cherished voice, stopping in Chu Xiaoge’s ears behind him, was like thousands of sharp silver needles piercing her heart!

His gentle tone like this... he could probably only speak this way to Panpan, right?

Chu Xiaoge once fantasized about the day she would reunite with Shang Dongyuan, and he would also, in this tone, ask her how she had been these years.

Unexpectedly, the fantasy could become reality one day.

Unfortunately, this time the heroine wasn’t her.

It pierced her heart with ease, and Chu Xiaoge’s eyes began to wet.

She always knew there was another woman in his heart, but didn’t expect that when she saw and heard him treating another woman so well, her heart would be suffocatingly painful.

Panpan, hearing Shang Dongyuan’s words, immediately felt there was hope.

The hand under the table pinched her own thigh hard, bringing tears with the pain.

As she spoke, she intentionally added a hint of a sob to her voice.

"I think of you every single moment."

The pitiful look was perfectly portrayed.

Even Chu Xiaoge felt distressed hearing this, let alone Shang Dongyuan, the person involved.

His face became increasingly gloomy.

Before he could continue speaking, Chu Xiaoge could no longer listen.

She slowly stood up, her steps stiff, and walked towards the door.

She suddenly felt that coming here eagerly to listen to all this was nothing but self-humiliation, wasn’t it?
