After her ex-husband became a Hong Kong entertainment circle tycoon, he put his arm around her waist

Nan Shu didn't want to have a pointless argument with Lin Xi, so she pretended not to see Lin Xi and walked past her to the door.

But Lin Xi had no intention of letting Nan Shu leave so easily. As they brushed past each other, Lin Xi suddenly spoke coldly.

"Don't think you can win Qi Yuye's heart over this. He will always love me."

Nan Shu turned her head to look at Lin Xi, her tone indifferent.

"I never thought I would have any further contact with him, but even if we do, it has nothing to do with you. Just like what you did when we got married, I'm not even one ten-thousandth as outrageous as you were back then."

Hearing Nan Shu's words, Lin Qi's heart skipped a beat.

She couldn't help but wonder if Nan Shu already knew about what she had done back then.

Nan Shu had no idea what Lin Xi was thinking. She glanced at Lin Xi indifferently, then strode away.

Lin Xi watched Nan Shu's retreating figure, his eyes gradually turning sinister.

After leaving the Qi family, Nan Shu first took Enen to the kindergarten. After watching the teacher take Enen inside, she was about to leave when she turned around and saw a familiar figure.

Chen Jingyan stared at Nan Shu not far away with bloodshot eyes. After not seeing her for many days, Chen Jingyan looked much more weathered.

Chen Jingyan looked at Nan Shu cautiously, and his body even trembled with excitement the moment their eyes met.

"Nan Shu...it's been so long, how are you?"

Nan Shu felt very sad looking at Chen Jingyan like this.

She walked quickly to Chen Jingyan, her gaze gentle.

"I'm okay, how about you?"

Nan Shu and Chen Jingyan have been busy with work lately and haven't been in touch.

"I……"

Chen Jingyan hesitated for a moment, but with a relieved smile on his face, he spoke.

"How is Hmm doing now? I recently contacted a hospital, it's one of the best hospitals abroad. How about I take Hmm out there myself in a few days?"

Nan Shu frowned slightly, her tone filled with concern.

"What about your work? Aren't you going to take care of the company? The company's cooperation with Shengda Group has just improved recently, and this is exactly the time when we need you. You can't abandon the company for our sake..."

Nan Shu flatly rejected Chen Jingyan's suggestion.

Chen Jingyan shook his head, his expression serious.

"Don't worry, I've already taken care of the work-related issues. You don't need to worry about these things."

Looking at the haggard Chen Jingyan in front of her, Nan Shu felt a pang of heartache.

Chen Jingyan has already helped her a lot, and she can't trouble him any further.

"Really, it's not necessary. I'll figure something out. If all else fails, there's always Qi Yuye, he..."

Before Nan Shu could finish speaking, Chen Jingyan suddenly became agitated.

He took a step forward abruptly, reached out and grabbed Nan Shu's arm, his tone urgent yet earnest.

"Nan Shu, will you come home with me? Qi Yuye is too cunning; you can't fight him. I'm so worried about you..."

Nan Shu was surprised that Chen Jingyan would lose control. She paused for a moment, then reached out and pushed Chen Jingyan.

"Jingyan, don't be like this. I'm doing very well now. I'm relying on myself, not Qi Yuye, so you don't need to worry about what he might do to me."

Chen Jingyan shook his head, completely ignoring what Nan Shu was saying.

"These are all just appearances. He must be lying to you. He just wants you to relax and be on your guard. Nan Shu, I don't feel at ease with you by his side."

"Brother Jingyan, as you know, he's Um's father. He'll find someone to help with Um's matter. I already owe you so much, I really can't trouble you any further."

Nan Shu took a step back, her eyes resolute.

Chen Jingyan's hands fell to his sides, his eyes filled with disappointment.

"Are you really unwilling to let me help you?"

"I can't, thank you, Brother Jingyan."

After saying this, Nan Shu turned and left resolutely.

Now that she knows Chen Jingyan's feelings for her, she can no longer accept his help that goes beyond friendship; otherwise, she would never be able to repay such a heavy debt of gratitude.

Watching Nan Shu's departing figure, Chen Jingyan felt as if his heart was being torn apart.

He clutched his chest, his expression pained, his eyes filled with desolation.

"Nan Shu, are you really this heartless to me?"

Unfortunately, Nan Shu had already walked far away and did not hear Chen Jingyan's words.

As Nan Shu walked along the road, the scene from earlier kept replaying in her mind.

She felt heavy-hearted and couldn't concentrate on driving. Just then, the phone rang, the shrill ring interrupting her thoughts. Nan Shu slammed on the brakes.

Looking at the name flashing on the screen, Nan Shu frowned slightly.

Even though she didn't have the phone number saved, Nan Shu knew who was calling.

Old Madam Chen had never called her alone before, and the relationship between her and Old Madam Chen had always been one of mutual non-interference. Why would she suddenly call today?

After hesitating for a moment, and thinking about Chen Jingyan's unusual behavior earlier, Nan Shu answered the phone.

As soon as the call connected, Mrs. Chen's anxious voice came from the other end.

"Nan Shu, what tricks did you use to make my son sell off the company's core assets! Do you know the company is on the verge of collapse? The workers are demanding their wages!"

Madam Chen's words exploded in Nan Shu's mind like a heavy hammer blow.

Did Chen Jingyan actually sell off the company's core assets for her sake?

No wonder he said there was nothing going on at the company...

Nan Shu's feelings were very complicated; she hadn't expected Chen Jingyan to go to such lengths.

Old Madam Chen's words became increasingly vicious, and she even started cursing Nan Shu on the other end of the phone, but Nan Shu seemed not to hear them.

It was the first time she had been treated with such sincerity, and it would be a lie to say she wasn't moved.

But she knew she couldn't and shouldn't accept Chen Jingyan's kindness. Such a favor was too heavy for her, so heavy that she couldn't even think of how to repay it.

"Let me tell you, if you don't come up with a solution right now, I'll go to your company and let everyone know you're two-timing me. You're with Qi Yuye, but you're also hooking up with my son. I'll ruin your reputation!"

Madam Chen's furious voice pulled Nan Shu back to reality.

Nan Shu composed herself and picked up her phone, which was lying to the side.

"Don't worry, I will help Brother Jingyan get the core assets back."

After saying this, Nan Shu didn't want to waste any more words with Old Madam Chen and hung up the phone directly.

The voice of Old Madam Chen still seemed to echo in her ears. Nan Shu was in a state of turmoil, and deep guilt left her at a loss for what to do.

Chen Jingyan's number was displayed on the phone screen, but Nan Shu hesitated whether she should call.

After agonizing for a long time, Nan Shu sighed and finally threw her phone away.

Chen Jingyan has done so much for her; this love is too heavy, and she doesn't know how to face him now.
