Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
After leaving the Huai City Banquet, Chen Xuan drove Xu Suzhen and Xiaoyu back ho.
“Daddy, did that old gentleman leave early?
I didn’t see that young brother when he ca out.”
On the way, Xiaoyu curiously asked from the back seat.
Chen Xuan paused, “Hmm, he must have left early.”
Xiaoyu nodded and didn’t say anything more, continuing to play and frolic with Xu Suzhen.
Watching Xiaoyu in the rearview mirror, Chen Xuan felt sowhat emotional, it seems even the world of children isn’t that simple.
The light turned green, and just as Chen Xuan was about to start the car, he caught a glimpse of sothing in the corner of his eye at the western restaurant by the roadside, which made him freeze.
In front of the floor-to-ceiling window, a familiar figure was sitting there eating spaghetti, it was Han Jingting!
Chen Xuan wondered, hadn’t Han Jingting said she was going to a trade fair today?
Why was she here?
Shortly after, Chen Xuan saw that there was a young man sitting opposite Han Jingting.
The man was dressed in a high-end suit, his hair neatly combed, giving off the aura of a wealthy young master.
Recognizing the man’s face clearly, Chen Xuan imdiately furrowed his brow.
ng Junchen!
Six years ago, before Chen Xuan married into the Han Family and tied the knot with Han Jingting, he was Han Jingting’s ardent admirer!
However, ever since Han Jingting married Chen Xuan, ng Junchen had vanished from her world, reportedly heading abroad.
Throughout these years, Chen Xuan had never again seen him near Han Jingting, but unexpectedly, here he was today!
And he was together with Han Jingting!
In front of the floor-to-ceiling window, ng Junchen was being the perfect gentleman, passing the neatly cut steak over to Han Jingting, who smiled her thanks, while his eyes were filled with a burning intensity.
Such a tender scene, yet it stirred a complex mix of emotions in Chen Xuan.
He wanted to trust that there was nothing between Han Jingting and ng Junchen, but just yesterday, she told him she had a trade fair to attend and didn’t even have ti to accompany him to see his mother.
Yet, here she was, dining with another man!
The hard reality before his eyes made it difficult for Chen Xuan to avoid thinking more!
With anger surging in his heart, Chen Xuan was on the verge of pulling over and storming into the restaurant to confront Han Jingting!
But at that mont.
“Beep beep beep…”
The cars behind him honked their horns impatiently.
“Daddy, the light’s green, it’s our turn to move,” Xiaoyu, seated in the back, reminded him sensibly.
Only then did Chen Xuan co to his senses, realizing that Xiaoyu was with him!
Regardless of whether Han Jingting was innocent or not, Chen Xuan did not wish for his daughter to witness an unhappy scene.
“Oh, okay…”
Taking one last look at the couple by the window, Chen Xuan started the car and drove off without looking back.
anwhile, inside the restaurant.
“Jingting, the steak here is quite good, all air-freighted from Australia; you should try it,” said ng Junchen.
There was no denying that ng Junchen, who ca from an affluent family, whether in his dress, his deanor and conversation, or his taste for the finer things, indeed presented a very refined image of a gentleman.
Han Jingting took the steak, smiling politely, “Thank you.”
“Why so formal with ?” ng Junchen said with an indulgent smile, not considering himself an outsider at all.
Han Jingting managed a forced smile, clearly preoccupied.
She had indeed been busy with the trade show today, but half an hour ago, she had received a call from her mother, Ding Lijuan, instructing her to co imdiately to the Bali Western Restaurant, claiming she was in big trouble.
Worried about Ding Lijuan, Han Jingting had imdiately dropped her work and driven over.
To her surprise, it was a false alarm; Ding Lijuan had only wanted to set her up with ng Junchen, using the ruse to get her there.
Han Jingting turned to leave, but was powerless against Ding Lijuan’s threats and reluctantly agreed to finish the al.
Han Jingting glanced at her watch; she had been out for quite so ti.
“I’m sorry, but I have to get back to work soon.
Do you have anything else you want to talk about besides eating?
If not, I’ll have to leave,” she said.
“Of course, I do!”
ng Junchen put down his knife and fork, his expression serious, “Jingting, you know how I feel about you.
All these years abroad, not a mont passed when I wasn’t thinking of you!
The truth is, I’ve co back from overseas because I want to be with you!”
Han Jingting sighed helplessly, “ng Junchen, I appreciate your feelings, but I’m already married, so there’s no possibility between us!”
ng Junchen scoffed, “I’ve heard from Auntie.
In these six years, that Chen Xuan seems to do nothing but housework and take care of the kids; he can’t do anything else, even his pocket money cos from you.
A pretty boy who lives off a woman can’t even count as a man.
How can he possibly make you happy?”
Seeing Han Jingting fall silent, ng Junchen thought his words had struck a chord and quickly pressed his advantage.
“Jingting, six years ago, you said I wasn’t good enough, not your type.
Is Chen Xuan really what you wanted?”
“Over these years abroad, I’ve worked tirelessly to better myself, all to et your standards for a partner.”
“Now, I’m the Sales Director for the Yan Country region at Nuorui International Pharmaceutical Corporation, with an annual salary of three million!”
“Jingting, I’m now good enough.
I hope you’ll divorce that useless man and give us a chance…”
As ng Junchen spoke, he reached out to take Han Jingting’s hand.
But before his touch could land, Han Jingting quickly withdrew her hand.
“ng Junchen, you misunderstand.
What I’ve always ant by ‘excellence’ is not what you think!”
“Moreover, Chen Xuan and I have a daughter now.
Even for Xiaoyu’s sake, I would never divorce him!
So, please stop wasting your ti on
from now on!”
With that, Han Jingting stood up to leave.
“Jingting, listen to …”
ng Junchen started to say sothing, but Han Jingting’s phone suddenly rang.
It was from the company.
“Hello, Xiao Shan, what’s up?”
Assistant Yang Shan’s voice was full of urgency, “President Han, it’s bad, our goods have been detained by the Trade and Industry Bureau!”
“Which batch of goods?”
“All the goods have been detained!”
“What…” Han Jingting’s heart sank.
At today’s trade show, Han Jingting had secured nurous orders for the Han Corporation, worth nearly a billion!
As per the contract, these orders had to be shipped within three days, but to her astonishnt, such a thing had happened at this critical mont!
“President Han, if we can’t ship the goods within three days, it’ll be a breach of contract.
According to the contract, the penalty is five tis the amount!
What should we do now?”
The penalty would be at least five billion!
The young assistant, Yang Shan, was almost in tears with anxiety.
But Han Jingting, seasoned in the business world, remained calm.
“Don’t panic, I’m on my way back to deal with it now!”
