“Ruo Ruo, it’s not what you’re imagining. Lin Ping…” Luo Ying had no idea about the emotions buried deep within Zhang Ruo. She wanted to clarify the events that had taken place before.

“Does it matter now to discuss these things?” Zhang Ruo interrupted Luo Ying. “After you recovered, you became the enviable Mrs. Lu—with good looks, a great figure, resources, connections, and a CEO husband who could rock the city with just a word. And me? My boyfriend cheated on me, and I was insulted…

Tears welled in Zhang Ruffs eyes. The experiences of the past two days had cast an enduring shadow.

Beside her, Sun Hao clenched his fists. He had already given Chen Chen a beating when he rescued Zhang Ruo, but it didn’t feel like enough to vent his anger.

Seeing Zhang Ruffs agitation and pale lips, Luo Ying retrieved a box from the car and cautiously offered it to her. “Ruo Ruo, these are all your favorite treats.

Before she could finish, Zhang Ruo knocked the box out of her hand. The round pastries rolled onto the road and eventually landed in a foul-smelling drain.

“Luo Ying, spare me your hypocrisy. You’ve gained so much, yet you still want to display your saintly side,” Zhang Ruffs tone was devoid of emotion.

Luo Ying felt her heart being torn apart. She never expected to reach such a point with Zhang Ruo.

Was this world even real? Why was the pain so genuine?

From where he sat in the car, Lu Zhao furrowed his brows as he observed the unfolding scene.

He had foreseen that Zhang Ruo might become emotional, but witnessing Luo Ying being treated like this still made him uncomfortable. He wanted to step out of the car and help Luo Ying, but Xiao Ting held him back.

“Boss, pardon my directness, but it might be best if you don’t get involved in this matter. Women have dynamics we men can’t fully grasp,” Xiao Ting said earnestly.

Lu Zhao found Xiao Tings words reasonable. If he stepped out now, Zhang Ruo might become even more agitated.

“Ruo Ruo, what are your plans now?” Luo Ying perceived Zhang Ruffs determination. As Zhang Ruo appeared unwilling to hear her out at the moment, Luo Ying decided to go along with it.

After all, Luo Ying couldn’t fathom what Zhang Ruo had endured during her captivity by Chen Chen.

“l want to leave this city and go somewhere without you. I no longer want to be under your influence,” Zhang Ruo glanced at the sky.

Luo Ying nodded heavily. A tear dropped onto the road and evaporated instantly.

It felt as if their friendship had come to an end.

Under Luo Yings persistent pleas, Zhang Ruo finally begrudgingly agreed to let Sun Hao take her back to her residence.

During the journey back, Luo Ying remained silent.

Lu Zhao watched her despondent gaze and gently placed a hand on her lap.

“I’ll arrange private protection for Zhang Ruo. You can rest assured.” Luo Ying nodded, leaning lightly against Lu Zhao’s shoulder.

Only now did she feel the extent of her exhaustion.

The events of the past period had drained her entirely. She urgently needed a good rest so she could recover and reinvigorate herself to take on her career.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

Could a woman truly not have a career?

After sleeping for a day and a night at the Lu residence’s villa, Luo Ying finally felt her energy returning.

She stretched lazily and descended the stairs in her nightgown.

Auntie Zhang greeted her with a warm smile. “Madam, you’re finally awake.

I’ll go prepare some food.”

Luo Ying returned the smile. “Thank you, Auntie Zhang. Where’s Lu Zhao?”

“Sir went to the company early in the morning and asked me to have you rest at home for now. Don’t rush into work,” Auntie Zhang said as she handed Luo Ying a glass of hot milk before disappearing into the kitchen.

Seated on the sofa, Luo Ying sipped her milk. She picked up her phone and texted Chi Tong.

In under twenty minutes, Chi Tong rushed over.

The moment he saw Luo Ying, he almost burst into tears. “Sister Ying, you’re finally back. I thought I’d lose my job.”

Observing the forlorn Chi Tong before her, Luo Ying couldn’t help but chuckle. “I’m not dead yet, so why the tears?”

Chi Tong wiped his eyes. “We all missed you and were so worried. But your husband is really something. Even when you were absent, he still paid the studio’s bills.”

Luo Ying offered a soft smile. Lu Zhao always took care of everything, big and small, whether she was present or not..
