husband."Mrs. Zhang said coldly.“Well, this situation is in our favor right now, but I know Feng Jiu Cheng well. He won’t let his daughter get away with such a loss this time. The follow-up cooperatio...The ripples and this secretarial assistant, Jia Wenwen, were originally going to the mid-range boutique store on the next floor. As a result of their conversation, they missed the elevator timing and went directly to the floor above, where luxury brands were concentrated.

"Ripple, since we're here let's check it out! See if there's anything you like, and just mention it to the owner later. He'll make sure it gets delivered to you the next day."

Jia Wenna smiled, her eyes crinkling at the corners.

Then let's go take a look!

As soon as the two of them stepped out of the elevator, sharp-eyed Jia Wenna saw Zhang Yongcheng being led into a high-end clothing store by a beautiful girl.

"Ripples, is that Zhang, the vice president"

Jia Jingwen covered her mouth in alarm, but there was a gleeful expression in her eyes.

Ripples actually saw it too, but she was thinking about how to take advantage of this opportunity. Since there were witnesses nearby, she immediately changed her expression and said in disbelief:

"Yongcheng said he had a commitment today, how is that possible"

"Maybe I was mistaken, it's just a back view. Or maybe we should go take a look."

Although Jia Wenna claims she misread, she actually encourages Lianyi to take a closer look. She's just waiting for the good show to begin.

Ripple did not disappoint the other party's expectations, and directly walked two steps to the storefront of the famous clothing store. Looking at the two people who were chatting and laughing inside, Zhang Yongcheng was helping Feng Sisi choose a skirt and then asked her to try it on.

Zhang Yongcheng was helping his fiancée, Feng Sisi, choose clothes when he suddenly felt a burning gaze on him. He frowned and turned to see Lianyi standing outside the store.

Especially as the other person was looking at him with an expression of disbelief. When their eyes met, the light in his eyes vanished instantly, replaced by sadness and pain. His eyes were red-rimmed, and glistening tears hung from his long eyelashes, giving him a fragile beauty.

Zhang Yongcheng's gaze dodged unnaturally for a moment, then he passed the red dress recommended by the sales assistant to Feng Sisi beside him, and said with a smile:

"Sisi, why don't you try on this dress I think it would look really good on your skin."

Feng Sisi wasn't stupid. With just a glance, she noticed the beautiful girl standing outside the store looked off. The other girl reacted this way because Zhang Yongcheng was by her side. Without saying anything, he took the dress and went into the fitting room.

Ripples naturally saw the disdain in Feng Sisi's eyes towards her, as well as Zhang Yongcheng's awkward and annoyed expression.

She immediately turned her head and forced a smile as she said to Jia Wenwen:

"Wenywen, I'm so sorry! I'm not feeling well today, so I can't go shopping with you. I have to leave now."

After she finished speaking, tears streamed down her face. She then covered her mouth and ran all the way to the elevator. Just as the elevator doors opened, she took a step inside. Jia Wenwen didn't catch up to her.

After leaving the mall, Lianyi directly hailed a cab back to her rented apartment. She also bought dinner on the way and brought it back with her. There wasn't a trace of sadness or distress about her.

While Jia Wenna ate melon throughout the entire process, she was incredibly excited and immediately shared this explosive news with her girl friends.

Zhang Yongcheng, who had chased after her, only saw Li An's back as she walked away. He frowned and returned to the high-end store. Feng Sisi had just changed into a new dress and twirled in front of him, smiling and asking:

"Yongcheng, do I look pretty in this"

"You are beautiful, you look good in everything you wear."

Zhang Yongcheng said with a smile.

But I think the young lady you just hurt also seems very beautiful. Is she your lover or girlfriend

Feng Sisi made her intentions clear.

"Sisi"

Zhang Yongcheng was caught off guard and felt a bit embarrassed.

"Yongcheng, our marriage was arranged by our families. You'd better take care of these romantic entanglements before the wedding and don't let them affect our big day."

Everyone has a past, I understand that you're so excellent and have dated several girlfriends, but you should at least respect me, don't you think

"Sisi, don't worry! I understand everything. I will handle all of this. You just need to relax and be a good bride."

Zhang Yongcheng saw that Feng Sisi was not dead, and he held on to her tightly. He felt much lighter in his heart. In addition, in his view, Mu Lianyi loved him too much. Even if she saw him with another woman, she didn't dare to come up and question him, which gave him face. He decided to raise the breakup fee again. Everyone gets together and breaks up well.

After sending Feng Sisi back, Zhang Yongcheng drove to Lian Yi's place. When he opened the door, he saw a haggard Lian Yi curled up on the sofa, staring in one direction, lost in thought. She didn't even hear him come in.

Of course, all of this was orchestrated by Lianyi deliberately for Zhang Yongcheng. In fact, when she returned, she bribed the security guard at the gate to call her as soon as he saw Zhang Yongcheng come back. She wanted to give him a surprise. The security guard, knowing their relationship as boyfriend and girlfriend, was happy to help and earn some extra money on the side.

So when Zhang Yongcheng's flashy convertible drove into the neighborhood, Lian Ri received a call. She quickly put on a distressed makeup look, brewed up some emotions, and posed herself just right, waiting for Zhang Yongcheng to arrive.

"Ripple."

Zhang Yongcheng softly called out.

Her head turned mechanically, her eyes seeming unfocused. After a while, she spoke in a hoarse voice:

"Yongcheng, you're here!"

Then he got up and went to the kitchen to make tea, still looking down as he asked:

"Have you eaten dinner yet Would you like me to cook you a bowl of noodles"

"No need, I came today to tell you something."

Chang Yung-cheng looked at the ripples without making a fuss or getting emotional. He also calmed down and was ready to get straight to the point.

"Yongcheng, are you going to talk about that girl who was with you today She's not as pretty as me, and she definitely doesn't love you as much as I do. Why did you choose her"

Her eyes were rimmed red, but she still managed to ask.

Zhang Yongcheng, of course, knew that Feng Sisi didn't love him, but that didn't affect their marriage. They exaggerated the benefits of both families. He impatiently loosened his tie and glanced at the woman who was staring at him with adoration. Then he opened his mouth and said:

"Ripple, I truly loved you when I pursued you and wanted to be with you forever. Otherwise, I wouldn't have kept you by my side all this time. However, there have been some issues with the company recently, and we need to raise capital."

"The Phoenix family is willing to invest, but to maximize profits and ensure security, they proposed a marriage. As the only son of the Zhang family, I cannot let my parents' hard work go down the drain because of my own selfish desires. I hope you understand!"

"Koko, marrying someone you don't love, you won't be happy."

Tears welled up and flowed down her cheeks, as she choked back sobs.

"Having shared a love that was unforgettable, I am already content. I hope you'll find your own happiness in the future and avoid meeting someone like me who is unable to control their own fate."

Zhang Yongcheng felt he had made himself clear, so he took a check from his suit pocket and placed it on the coffee table.

"Although we only had one relationship, I hope at least financially, I won't let you suffer a loss. Please accept this!"

He said goodbye and turned to leave. As he closed the door, he heard Ripples' muffled, sorrowful sobs.After all, this could really happen. They had raised their children well. Although they had been fleeing for a long time, at least they could guarantee that they would have enough to eat. Even though...
