"Why didn’t you tell me earlier?" He questioned her through gritted teeth, his temples throbbing with anger!

Clearly, his heart at this moment was filled with grief and fury!

"I never intended to intrude into your life. Shang Dongyuan, as you said, let’s part peacefully. I will take Chuchu and leave quietly, and no one will ever know about our relationship."

Chu Xiaoge lowered her head, her lips bitten so hard they turned pale.

God knows how difficult it was for her to speak with Shang Dongyuan in such a tone!

She just... couldn’t let go of this bit of grievance in her heart.

Listening to her words, Shang Dongyuan’s blood easily boiled!

"So, are you retaliating against me? For not recognizing you? For our one-month agreement?"

He indeed understood her well, just a few words and he saw through her thoughts.

"..." Chu Xiaoge said nothing, which was almost equivalent to acquiescence.

Shang Dongyuan stared at her, truly helpless against her like this!

Even though her stubbornness and little temper had created so much hardship between them, yet...

Yet as long as he saw her lowered head, thought of their lovely daughter, and realized he wasn’t fickle-hearted after all, he loved only her from beginning to end!

Aoh! Fate truly loves to tease people!

Chu Xiaoge, Chu Nian... Was leaving this name behind a deliberate act of planting longing in my heart?

Woman, you win.

I lose.

Lose miserably.

When everything finally ended, Chu Xiaoge was completely exhausted, only able to slump weakly in his arms.

Clearly Shang Dongyuan was the one who exerted effort, yet he seemed not tired at all.

He took tissues to wipe her body, patiently dressing her one piece at a time, very meticulously.

After dressing, he carried her to the guest couch on one side to lie down, while he tidied up the chaos on the office desk.

Chu Xiaoge was extremely tired, yet she had no mind to sleep.

She obediently leaned on the couch, watching the busy figure ahead, her heart sour, her tears falling uncontrollably again.

She still couldn’t bear to part with him...

Otherwise, she wouldn’t have told him about Chuchu.

Did she secretly hope to use the child to bind him in her heart?

At least this way, he could continue to stay by her side.

Chu Xiaoge, you’re really despicable...

Shang Dongyuan, with a darkened face, finished tidying up everything.

The previously turbulent emotions had already thoroughly settled down.

He walked back over and, looking down at Chu Xiaoge, asked her, "Hungry?"

Calculating the time, it was already afternoon. She probably hasn’t had lunch yet.

Chu Xiaoge silently shook her head, lowering her eyes, quietly at one side.

Chu Xiaoge didn’t know what to say, then heard Shang Dongyuan answer a call and leave the office.

Right before going out, he didn’t forget to remind her, "Wait here for me to return."

After he left, Chu Xiaoge finally dared to let out a long sigh...

She didn’t know how all this happened, just while casually looking around the office, inadvertently glanced at that huge desk, recalling just moments ago she and Shang Dongyuan were there...
