Remember when He Hanchuan threw Xiangwan into the Dreamland Pavilion, he never gave her a chance to turn things around. Back then, seeing Xiangwan so frail and weak, he felt a certain similarity between her fate and his own. Often, he would feel pity for her and secretly sent people to take care of her.

But A-wei is much luckier than her.

He is the one who pushed Hoshikawa towards prison, and he's also the one who pulled her back from the darkness, even sacrificing his life to protect her!

And her? She was entangled between Feng Mu and two families, caught in a web of their parents' grievances. It was as if countless nails were nailing her to a plank, leaving her with no chance of escape.

Having followed Ghost for so many years, in the eyes of outsiders, they were a perfect match. They had heard countless teasing remarks, "You two are so close, it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say you're boyfriend and girlfriend. When are you planning to get married?"

Usually, Menglan just gives a faint smile. Occasionally, when she's in a good mood, she might casually say, "Then you guess."

Only she knew how empty her heart had been all these years. Even when she was lost in those lonely, heart-wrenching nights, she never thought of marrying Feng Mu.

Oh no, this adjective doesn't seem quite right for her either.

To say she never dared to imagine, after mixing with Feng Mu Gui for so many years, that one day she would marry him!

……

The Xiang Group

I'm about to embark on a journey abroad for treatment and have discussed with the doctors there that it will require at least half a year of stay.

Before leaving, A-Wan wasn't at ease handing over all the company responsibilities and projects to A-Yu. She specially called a meeting at the company beforehand to delegate things like quarterly reports and project collaborations.

While He Hanchuan was obviously busier than her, Xiang Wan didn't intend to make a big fuss about leaving. But He Hanchuan felt it would be unfair to her if they didn't do something, so he insisted on hosting a party to gather their friends and family for a lively celebration.

<<< Towards evening, Yelan couldn't hold out any longer. After a meeting that dragged on until around five o'clock, she emerged from the conference room with documents in hand. As she was about to meet He Hanchuan downstairs, she saw Mili emerge from Xiang Yu's office with a grim expression.

Only the office door was half open. Xiangyu threw a file out and angrily scolded, "You're a college graduate, but you can't even complete such a simple task I gave you. The T-stage runway show will officially begin next week. How do you expect me to explain this to those old men?"

Mary silently picked up the files that were dropped on the ground, wiping her tears and sobbing as she walked towards the elevator entrance.

Looking at her, Yua realized something was definitely wrong. She quickly stopped Milly and pulled her to a corner in the hallway. She took out a tissue from her bag and handed it to Milly, "Don't cry, my brother, he's straightforward and sometimes doesn't think before he speaks. What's going on? Did something happen at the company?"

Millie clutched a tissue, staring at her, looking as if she wanted to speak but couldn't.

"Just say it, my brother won't blame you." Xiang Wan said softly, taking a tissue to gently wipe away the tears from under her eyelids, her movements deliberate and gentle.

Being cared for like this, Millie's nose suddenly ached, tears threatening to fall again!

She clutched a tissue, her voice choked with emotion as she reminded her, "It was you who publicly fired Wen Yongbo in the conference room last time. After that, he was furious and took several designers from the costume department away. Now it's almost next week's fashion show, but we still don't have any decent works. Isn't this just waiting to lose money?"

"Speaking of which, she seemed to remember something important and hurriedly handed a document to Xiang Wan, "The key is that General Xiang signed a reverse bet agreement with that investment company. If the promised target amount is not achieved, they will have to pay double the amount."

Yua immediately opened the file. When she read the huge compensation amount, her brows furrowed.

Her brother was kindhearted and straightforward, there was no doubt about that. But this was also his weakness in the business world. This gambling agreement, who knows how it ended up being signed while someone was drunk?

She kind of understood now.

Even if the designers didn't leave, they wouldn't be able to handle a project this big while still working at Xiangshi Group!

“Deputy General, please don't mention this to General Xiang. He knows you're going abroad for treatment and specifically warned me not to tell you, afraid you'd get angry.” Mary calmed down her emotions, gave her a hasty explanation, then strode away.

Towards the end of reading through the contract in her hand, Yuan Wan was debating whether she should discuss it with Xiang Yu when she received a text message from He Hanchuan. He said he was already waiting for her in the company parking lot.

<< 向晚 could only temporarily suppress this matter, picked up her bag and took the elevator to the parking lot. She opened the car door and got into that familiar luxury car. >>

"Smoking again?" As soon as she got into the car, Xiang Wan smelled a faint scent of tobacco.

Her expression was somewhat serious, she turned her head and her gaze fell upon He Hanchuan in the driver's seat, dressed in a black suit. His deep and handsome features were incredibly captivating.

"Hmm." He raised his arm and casually leaned it on the steering wheel, slowly lowering the car window. His eyes flashed with guilt, "You came here after deliberately scattering the smoke smell. As expected of my wife, He Hanchuan, you really have a good nose..."

"Here." Before He Hanchuan could finish his flattery, Xiang Wan's face turned cold, and she held out her hand toward him.

Seeing this gesture, He Hanchuan's Adam's apple twitched. It was clear that this was a surrender!

Ge Hanchuan dared not speak, he cautiously glanced at the pack of cigarettes just opened and hidden in the card slot with his peripheral vision, wanting to cry but having no tears!

He's lived for so many years without indulging in women or gambling, he could be considered a top-tier husband. The only bad habit he developed under pressure is smoking a little bit...

Ever since the doctor reminded Lu Xia in the ward that smoking was detrimental to his leg injury recovery, all of his cigarettes were confiscated by Lu Xia. He spent almost every day lying in the hospital, drinking nutrient-rich soup that Lu Xia concocted in various ways.

Good fellow, he finally managed to wait until he got the chance to be discharged from the hospital, and the first thing he did was go to the supermarket to buy a cigarette!

How can this be submitted?

If he handed over the money, doesn't that prove that he has no status in his own home? The other day when I met with my brothers, they even publicly ridiculed him for being under his wife's thumb.

"A-wai." He Hanchuan's face was set, his voice low and sharp as he rebuked her, determined to clear his name and avenge himself!

"Hm?" Xiangwan looked up at him leisurely, "Is something the matter?"

"With just a glance, she could instantly dispel all of He Hanchuan's anger. "You're so beautiful, wife," he said.
