C20 Chapter 20 - "Surprise"

Shao Yunchen signed his name with a pen under the crumpled document. After putting down the pen, he calmly took his jacket and left.

From start to finish, there was not a single word spoken.

Lu Yao couldn't hold it in any longer and buried herself in Lu Yao's mother's arms, crying bitterly.

If she wanted to keep the child, she would have to get divorced. If she was married, Shao Yunchen only had to say one word and the child would be gone. That was why she had planned a play with Xiang Dongnan and her mother in order to force Shao Yunchen to divorce.

However, when he really signed the divorce papers, Lu Yao felt her internal organs were all agitated and uncomfortable.

Shao Yunchen didn't know how he got down the stairs. On the way, he met people who smoked. He walked over and paid them: "Sell me cigarettes and lighters."

When the other person saw it was a hundred yuan, he quickly took out his cigarette case and lighter and gave it to Shao Yunchen.

Shao Yunchen lit one.

He didn't like the smell of smoke and could only smoke when he was forced to do business. Now, however, his heart was empty. He wanted to find something to fill the gap, so the smoke was just enough to satisfy him.

Shao Yunchen only noticed the platinum ring on his finger when he raised his hand and took out a flannel box from his pocket.

When he was on a business trip to Singapore, he passed by the jewelry store and saw those rings. Thinking about when he got married, he seemed to have bought Lu Yao a $30,000 diamond ring.

Perhaps to make up for something, Shao Yunchen contacted the manager and customized a pair of rings. He got it the next day. It was all platinum, and he put it on in advance when he got it. Afraid of losing it on business trip, he sent the woman's package back to China.

He had originally wanted to give Lu Yao a surprise when he got back from a business trip, but he didn't expect that even before he had given the ring away, Lu Yao had also returned the ring from before, and even gave him such a big 'surprise'!

These few years, he had been busy with his own business. Even though he was forced to marry Lu Yao, he had never treated her unfairly …

Thinking about what Lu Yao had just said at Aunt Lu's home, and what she had calmly said … Somehow, the more Shao Yunchen looked at the ring, the angrier he got. Finally, he took off the platinum ring on his finger and threw it into the artificial lake along with the cashmere box.

Divorce didn't change anything, he was still that Shao Yunchen!

For the sake of the baby in her belly, Lu Yao, who always had a irregular diet, began to pay attention to her diet. Folic acid was something she had to eat. She didn't touch any alcohol or cigarettes, and even her high heels had been replaced with flat shoes. She worked late once in a while, but not too late.

As time passed, her belly began to show. She couldn't even wear those tight little suits, she could only wear loose clothes every day.

Lu Yao touched her round belly through her clothes, feeling very sad.

If it was really three months later, she definitely wouldn't be able to hide her loose clothes. When the time came, everyone in the company would know that the boss definitely wouldn't let her continue with such a high-intensity job. However, she was afraid that her position would be replaced by someone else when she returned after giving birth.

This job of hers is worth at least tens of thousands a month. At the very least, she can afford the rental car loan, so if she were to lose it, the pressure on her would be extremely great.

"Manager Lu."

Seeing that her colleague was walking over to her in quick steps, Lu Yao put her hands down in a flurry and smiled. "What's wrong?"

"Boss Ji has requested that you go to the conference room at 10 o'clock for a meeting." Her colleague placed the documents on Lu Yao's table, and leaned close to her as he whispered, "It's said that someone from Long Teng has come to visit. In order to receive them, Boss Ji has reserved all the restaurants downstairs."

Long Teng...

Lu Yao pursed her lips, as if it had been more than a month since her divorce from Shao Yunchen.
