C22 Tomorrow Is a New Day for Revenge

But at the same time, Yu Xiaotong could not help feeling very worried. She did not dare to love and even the thought of ‘love’ threw her mind out of sync.

She wanted to resist him, but now that she had feelings for him, she found it hard to keep away from him.

She also wanted to explain her past to him. But at the same time, she didn’t dare divulge all the things that had happened to her. She was afraid of what he would think of her if she did!

She was afraid Zuo Yuliang would leave her immediately when he found out the type of woman she turned out to be.

On one hand, the only thing she wanted was love and acceptance. On the other, her fear stood in the way. The burden in her heart did not allow her to love him freely. She was afraid that she would get hurt, and she was also afraid he would get hurt by her too!

Feeling love for the first time in her life, at the same time, she did not dare to accept this love. Her heart was torn in two. Sometimes she was filled with sweetness, other times she felt too scared to move. She was walking around on eggshells in her relationship with Zuo Yuliang.

To Yu Xiaotong, love was bitter-sweet. It can be bitter and tiring, but also have endless appeal to it, making her addicted at the same time.

Every night she would lay in bed and think back to the things they did together and scold herself for being so selfish. Because she wanted to enjoy this love for a little longer, she had put aside his feelings.

But during the day, when she saw him, she would walk towards him uninhibited. It was as if there was something magical in his body drawing her closer and closer to him!

In the face of all the contradictions, expectations, and lingering apprehensions, Yu Xiaotong and Zuo Yuliang’s relationship became tighter knit.

Zuo Lingfeng came to visit A City again. After he got off the plane, he did not ask Zuo Yuliang to send a car to pick him up, instead, he took the initiative to call a taxi.

Immediately upon arrival at the company square, he was met with the sight of Zuo Yuliang walking out of the store holding hands with a woman.

He smiled to himself. Who’s Zuo Yuliang’s girlfriend this time?

Zuo Lingfeng was about to go over and introduce himself to Zuo Yuliang’s new girlfriend when he saw the woman who was being held by Zuo Yuliang turn her head. He was completely stunned in place. Could it be?! It was Yu Xiaotong!

Zuo Lingfeng looked at the bright smile in disgust. He immediately turned his body around and decided to ignore the happy couple. Instead, he made his way straight to the company building. As he walked, thoughts swirled in his head.

He did not know what Zuo Yuliang was doing with this woman. It seemed like the two of them were very attached to each other and that they had been together for some time. Could Zuo Yuliang be in love with her?

Why did this woman want to get close to Yuliang? Was it possible that she wanted to extort Yuliang for money?

The corner of Zuo Lingfeng’s mouth could not help but curve into an extremely cold smile. That bad woman, you won’t be so lucky this time!

This time around, I won’t let you get away with this! If you hurt Yuliang, I’ll be sure to make you pay!

I must let Yuliang see your true colors, and let him know that underneath your beautiful layers lies a filthy soul!

I’ll only be sorry if I treat such a shameless woman like you with courtesy!

Zuo Lingfeng made a detour. Instead of going straight to Zuo Yuliang’s office, he returned to his temporary residence based in Fenglingdu District. In the past, he used to stay at Tianyu Wealthy Class whenever he would come here. Later on, because of the episode with the woman, he wanted to avoid Tianyu Wealthy Class, so he brought a home in Fenglingdu District.

The next day just as Zuo Yuliang’s workday was getting started, Zuo Lingfeng walked into his office.

“Huh? Boss, I didn’t know you were here. When did you arrive?” Zuo Yuliang stared at him in surprise.

“Yesterday!”

“Then why didn’t you notify me? I could’ve sent a car to pick you up!”

“I decided to take a taxi this time.” Zuo Lingfeng was unfazed by Zuo Yuliang’s concern. He sounded very calm.

After some chit-chat about the company, Zuo Lingfeng entrusted Zuo Yuliang with a mission. “I’m putting you in charge of the inspection of the company’s branch in C City.”

Zuo Lingfeng had originally planned to oversee this matter personally. He was free anyways, but when he saw Zuo Yuliang and Yu Xiaotong holding hands, he made up his mind. He would use putting Zuo Yuliang in charge of the southern market as an excuse to keep Zuo Yuliang and Yu Xiaotong apart.

Zuo Yuliang could not keep his surprise to himself. “This is so sudden…”

Zuo Lingfeng’s cold eyes gave him a once-over. “Why are you so reluctant to leave? Is there someone?”

At the mention of Yu Xiaotong, Zuo Yuliang smiled warmly. “I have a person I like.”

With a sudden bang, Zuo Lingfeng slammed shut the document. His deep eyes, veiled behind his long eyelashes, made his expression hard to gauge. “Go back and get ready. You will leave first thing tomorrow.”

Zuo Yuliang might be away for two days this time around. During his two days of absence, Zuo Lingfeng would be in charge.

In fact, even if Zuo Yuliang was gone for half a month, the company would still continue to operate like clockwork. Zuo Lingfeng did not need to stay here. However, he had an ulterior motive for staying that he could not let others know.

Since these were the President’s orders, Zuo Yuliang could not argue with him and could only pack his bags and prepare for his business trip to C City.

Knowing that he had to leave soon, he called Yu Xiaotong to explain the sudden change of plans. His loving farewell filled Yu Xiaotong’s heart with sweetness.

Although in her heart she had yet to accept him, she knew that she had already fallen in love with the gentle and kind Zuo Yuliang.

The two people who could not bear to part had a long phone chat.

On the night Yu Xiaotong and Zuo Yuliang were talking on the phone, they had no idea that someone was also thinking about them in another place.

In the Fenglingdu district, Zuo Lingfeng was standing before the window looking up at the bright moon outside the window. His thoughts were filled with scenes of how Yu Xiaotong had humiliated him.

Being threatened by a woman at knifepoint was indeed a huge embarrassment for someone like him who was CEO of a company. Therefore, his hatred for Yu Xiaotong knew no bounds. He swore that revenge will be his for the taking!

More than a year had passed and yet he could not bring himself to tell anyone about what had happened to him. Hence, his search for Yu Xiaotong had reached a stalemate. However, not a day went by that he didn’t think about his humiliation that day and this hatred became even more deeply rooted in his heart.

Although Yu Xiaotong was an employee of his company, he didn’t know about this since he was in B City and Yu Xiaotong worked in A City. His visits to A City were infrequent. Even if he were to pay A City a visit, he rarely went to the sales department. So Yu Xiaotong worked in his company for more than half a year without him knowing about it. Little did he know that the woman he was looking for was right under his nose.

Zuo Lingfeng had been standing before the window for a long time and he was starting to feel a little tired. He went back to the sofa and sat down while lighting a cigarette. He turned the cigarette butt up and stared at the smoke rising from his fingertips. From his face appeared a gloomy and disdainful sneer. This ugly look cast a smear across his handsome features.

If he had not seen Zuo Yuliang and Yu Xiaotong passionately holding hands yesterday, his plans to take revenge on Yu Xiaotong could’ve waited. In order to prevent her from hurting Yuliang, he had to take matters into his own hands and move forward with his plan now.

Tomorrow will be the first day to a new beginning! He will launch his plan for revenge on Yu Xiaotong then!

In her house, Yu Xiaotong, who had no idea someone with bad motives was targeting her, was lying in bed quietly. She was shyly and sweetly going over Zuo Yuliang’s sweet words just then.

As she was thinking about him, Yu Xiaotong’s expression suddenly froze on her face. A different face made its way into her mind. That scene that she wanted to tuck far away in the back of her mind but could not never be entirely free of once again appeared in front of her eyes. They were in the elevator and a man walked up and pushed her back against the wall of the elevator. He grabbed her flailing hands and pressed his lips against hers unexpectedly!
