《Six Cuties, and All of Them Are Bigshots》 Chapter 1 Translator: Langshare Editor: Langshare ¡°I can¡¯t, I can¡¯t drink anymore!¡± Ling Yue looked at her best friend, Wang Na, with her drunken eyes. Wang Na looked at her with a smile. ¡°We agreed, it¡¯s the last party of a single night!¡± ¡°Today we must drink to our heart¡¯s content until we are thoroughly drunk!¡± Wang Na said as she poured Ling Yue a full glass of wine. ¡°Don¡¯t drink too much!¡± Zhang Ming looked at Wang Na and tried to persuade her with a smile. ¡°I know!¡± Ling Yue waved her hand and took the glass from Wang Na. She finished the wine in the glass with a gulp. After three rounds of drinking, Ling Yue was completely drunk. ¡­ ¡­ Ling Yue was in a daze. She vaguely heard someone saying, ¡°Don¡¯t be like this¡­¡± ¡°What¡¯s there to be afraid of?She¡¯s already asleep!¡± The woman¡¯s voice sounded familiar. Ling Yue struggled to get up, but because she had drunk too much wine, her mind was in a daze. ¡°She¡¯s right next door! Tomorrow¡­¡± the man¡¯s voice sounded, and Ling Yue¡¯s brows furrowed deeply. ¡°Tomorrow what? ¡± The woman¡¯s voice was relentless, ¡°You said you would marry me!¡± ¡°But, I can¡¯t¡­¡± the man spoke again, but was interrupted by the woman. ¡°You still love her, don¡¯t you?¡± The woman¡¯s voice sounded a little angry. ¡°How can that be! I¡¯ve fallen in love with you!¡± the man said firmly. The woman snorted, ¡°You¡¯re lying!¡± ¡°Darling, how can I lie to you?¡± the man immediately said in a fawning manner, ¡°Believe me! As long as I marry her and get the family shares after six months, I¡¯ll definitely divorce and marry you!¡± ¡°You promise me?¡± The woman confirmed again. ¡°I promise!¡± The man¡¯s determined voice sounded. After that, Ling Yue could not hear clearly the words between the two of them. She could only hear the woman¡¯s moaning occasionally. Ling Yue slowly sat up from the bed and stared at the door. The voices of the two of them were not clear, but Ling Yue quickly recognized their voices. Ling Yue suddenly felt a shiver run down her spine. She slowly got up and walked out of the room, coming to the door of the guest room that was ajar. No wonder Wang Na had been urging her to drink today. No wonder the two of them had been appearing in the same place at the same time recently. Ling Yue resisted the urge to rush up and give the two of them a good beating. She picked up her phone, pushed open the door, and recorded the unsightly scene of the two people. Wang Na suddenly glanced at the figure at the door and screamed. Ling Yue put away her phone and looked coldly at the two people in front of her. Zhang Ming suddenly turned around and realized it was Ling Yue. ¡°Ling Yue, you, listen to my explanation!¡± ¡°Explanation? What¡¯s there to explain?¡± Ling Yue raised her eyebrows slightly and looked very calm. ¡°It¡¯s not what you think¡­ It¡¯s¡­¡± Zhang Ming gritted his teeth, not knowing how to lie. Wang Na sat up and leaned on Zhang Ming¡¯s shoulder. ¡°It¡¯s what you see. What do you want to do?¡± ¡°Don¡¯t talk nonsense!¡± Zhang Ming immediately stopped her. Wang Na snorted, stood up, and walked to Ling Yue. ¡°I¡¯ve been with Zhang Ming for a long time!¡± ¡°He promised me that marrying you is just a formality!¡± Wang Na smiled and gently put a hand on Ling Yue¡¯s shoulder. ¡°Do you like this kind of man?¡± Ling Yue sneered and asked. ¡°It doesn¡¯t matter whether I like him or not! The important thing is that he¡­ is your man!¡± Wang Na lowered her voice and whispered in Ling Yue¡¯s ear. Ling Yue slightly turned her head and looked at Wang Na. ¡°Okay! This man is yours!¡± ¡°Ling Yue, Listen to me!¡± Zhang Ming reached out his hand and tried to stop Ling Yue. ¡°Don¡¯t touch me!¡± Ling Yue growled. ¡°What do you want to say?¡± Ling Yue sneered and looked at Zhang Ming. ¡°Why did you sleep with my best friend on the eve of our wedding?¡± ¡°Or do you feel aggrieved by staying by my side for so long?¡± Ling Yue suddenly felt that her relationship with him was a little ridiculous. ¡°I¡­ If you haven¡¯t always rejected me¡­¡± Zhang Ming said seemingly with sufficient reason, ¡°Moreover, it was Wang Na who seduced me!¡± ¡°My rejection is the reason for you to pick up another woman?¡± Ling Yue looked at Zhang Ming in disbelief, ¡°Wang Na seduced you, and then you hooked up with her as my best friend?¡± ¡°Zhang Ming! In the past, I just thought you were brainless!¡± Ling Yue suddenly found it funny, ¡°But now I realized that you even have no bottom line!¡± ¡°If you two want to be together, I¡¯ll meet your wish!¡± Ling Yue said and turned to leave, ¡°Please get out of my life!¡± ¡°But, tomorrow¡¯s wedding ¡­¡± Zhang Ming said anxiously. ¡°Wedding?¡± Ling Yue turned around slightly. ¡°Oh, right, the fame of your Zhang family is important!¡± ¡°Yes, yes! Tomorrow¡¯s wedding can not be canceled!¡± Zhang Ming emphasized again. ¡°All right! If you kowtow to me and admit your mistakes now, I will consider attending the wedding tomorrow as scheduled. What do you think?¡± Ling Yue said generously. ¡°Ling Yue, you!¡± Wang Na¡¯s eyes were wide open, with anger rising in her breast. Zhang Ming gritted his teeth, grabbed Wang Na, and both of them knelt in front of Ling Yue. Tomorrow¡¯s wedding was related to his position in the family in the future, so he couldn¡¯t afford to cancel it! Ling Yue did not expect Zhang Ming to kneel down, so she was really shocked. ¡°Since you¡¯re so sincere, I¡¯ll think about it!¡± Ling Yue said and got ready to turn to leave. She said, ¡°I won¡¯t bother you anymore! Continue!¡± After coming out of the wedding room, Ling Yue was walking on the road, suddenly feeling at a loss. Today was her birthday, and tomorrow would be her and Zhang Ming¡¯s wedding day. However, after experiencing the commotion just now, she was in no mood to celebrate her birthday. How could she bear to get married tomorrow? Ling Yue suddenly felt a little depressed. She didn¡¯t know how she could be so blind to be engaged to such a person. Suddenly, Ling Yue saw a big sign with only one word ¡°Nothingness¡± on it. Ling Yue sighed, ¡°I really have nothing now¡­¡± As she spoke, Ling Yue walked into this bar called ¡°Nothingness¡±. The bar was very lively, and many young people working nearby came here to relax. Ling Yue remembered Wang Na mentioned this ¡°Nothingness¡± bar before. It was said that there was a special service to be offered here¡­ While Ling Yue was drinking wine, her eyes searched the crowd¡­ finally, her gaze focused on a person. She stared at that person closely. Although her eyes were a little blurry, that person was the most handsome guy in the crowd! Ling Yue drank a little too much and giggled at that person. Perhaps it was because her gaze was too persistent that person slowly turned his head. Ling Yue watched that person slowly walk towards her. That person walked closer and closer until he was in front of Ling Yue. Ling Yue placed a hand on that person¡¯s shoulder and asked with a smile, ¡°Handsome guy! How much is it for one night?¡± Chapter 2 Translator: Langshare Editor: Langshare Ling Yue was still dazed in her sleep when she suddenly heard a familiar voice. She grabbed her phone and placed it beside her ear. ¡°Where are you? The makeup artist is already here!¡± Ling Yue massaged her slightly aching temple and asked, ¡°What makeup artist? Who are you?¡± ¡°Who am I? I¡¯m your Auntie Yuan!¡± The other side roared fiercely. This roar immediately pulled Ling Yue back to her senses. She bounced up from the bed and looked around. It was an unfamiliar place. Looking down at her naked appearance and the suspicious marks on her arms, Ling Yue suddenly realized that what happened last night was not a dream! A face full of sweat suddenly flashed in Ling Yue¡¯s mind. Those eyes was exceptionally clear but filled with desire, staring straight at her. Ling Yue felt that her body seemed like still being wrapped and caressed by that pair of hands. She hugged her head tightly and cried out in a low voice. Thinking of the absurd conduct last night, Ling Yue panicked immediately.. At this moment, the sound of water came from the bathroom. Ling Yue got a shock and knocked her head heavily. ¡°I¡¯m done for! So handsome! It must be very expensive!¡± Ling Yue quickly put on her clothes and rummaged through her bag for the few remaining banknotes. She sighed and placed the banknotes under the vase on the bedside table. She even attached a note to the banknotes. Ling Yue clasped her hands together and said, ¡°I¡¯m sorry! I didn¡¯t expect this! That¡¯s all I have! Please forgive me!¡± After Ling Yue said that, she grabbed her bag and rushed out of the room. Shen Zhou came out of the bathroom and found that there was no one in the room. ¡°You ran away?¡± He raised his eyebrows and looked at the few notes on the bedside table. He walked over and counted the notes. He sneered, ¡°So little money? Don¡¯t you feel guilty?¡± He saw a note beside the banknotes. There was a row of small words on it, ¡°It¡¯s urgent! I have to go first! Your service is very good!¡± Shen Zhou said resignedly, ¡°You really took me for that!¡± ¡°You want to run away after you¡¯re done?¡± Shen Zhou grabbed the banknotes and the note, with a smile on his lips, ¡°You can¡¯t escape me!¡± In the hotel, more than half of the guests had already arrived. The groom, Zhang Ming, was sitting in the hotel¡¯s specially-prepared lounge, waiting anxiously. He was certain that Ling Yue would appear. Because this was Ling Yue¡¯s only choice, he was Ling Yue¡¯s only relative! Now, Zhang Ming was only waiting for Ling Yue to confess to him, regretting that she shouldn¡¯t have been so impulsive last night! The bridesmaid Wang Na was sitting on the sofa, with her eyes wandering around Zhang Ming. Wang Na believed that after yesterday¡¯s incident, Ling Yue would definitely not appear! ¡°It¡¯s almost the wedding time! Groom, go and prepare first!¡± The wedding preparation staff came into the room and urged. The emcee walked in and brought Zhang Ming to the designated place to wait. The staff led the way for the bridesmaids to the waiting area. At this moment, a loud noise suddenly came from the venue where the music was playing. Everyone followed the sound and looked in the direction of the big screen. On the big screen, a naked man stood and said something in front of the camera. Behind him was an almost naked woman, trying hard to cover up her important parts. After the video was played, there were a few photos of the man and woman with either shocked or angry looks. Everyone knew under what kind of situation these photos were taken. ¡°Ah! This¡­ this¡­¡± many guests were shocked by the scene. ¡°Aren¡¯t they the groom and the bridesmaid?¡± ¡°I can¡¯t believe that the two of them would do such a thing!¡± Someone started to criticize loudly. ¡°Oh my! I can¡¯t believe it! Zhang Ming is actually such a man!¡± A girl who had a crush on Zhang Ming secretly spat. ¡°Wang Na is too shameless!¡± Those who were on good terms with Ling Yue pointed the blame at Wang Na. ¡°Ling Yue treats her so sincerely, and always shares everything good with her!¡± The crowd began to criticize Wang Na. For a moment, the crowd roared at the scene. When Zhang Ming¡¯s parents saw the content on the big screen, they almost fainted. Zhang Ming, who had been anxiously waiting, almost fell to the ground the moment he saw the big screen. Auntie Yuan stared at the two people on the big screen and gritted her teeth. ¡°Thank God, Ling Yue hasn¡¯t married him yet!¡± Ling Yue shifted her eyes away from Zhang Ming who was being beaten and kicked by her father. Her gaze drifted to Wang Na, who was staring at the screen in shock and didn¡¯t know how to move. ¡°No¡­ It¡¯s not me¡­ It¡¯s all a misunderstanding!¡± Wang Na tried to justify her actions, but no one would believe her excuses now. The image of gentle graciousness, that Wang Na had tried so hard to build, collapsed at this moment. She covered her face and ran out of the venue while crying. Ling Yue suddenly felt a sense of joy in her heart. ¡°I don¡¯t have to get married, and I don¡¯t have to be responsible. This feeling is too great!¡± She slowly pressed down the cap on her head, pulled at her outdoor jacket and walked out of the venue with her head lowered. Three hours later, Ling Yue boarded a flight to the UK. Ling Yue had originally intended to, after they got married, discuss with Zhang Ming about her plan to study in the UK. Who knew that such a thing would happen. Ling Yue immediately called her master. In just two to three hours, the arrangements for her to go abroad had been made! .. Ling Yue pulled her suitcase out of the airport and looked up at the sky. ¡°It¡¯s been four years! I¡¯m back!¡± In those four years she had been in the UK, Ling Yue had completed four-year courses within just two years. Moreover, while she was in school, she had been arranged to intern at a law firm¡¯s overseas branch. Before she graduated, she had obtained the qualification to be a lawyer. In those four years, Ling Yue did not waste a bit of time, instead she never stopped studying and taking charge of cases. Because¡­ Ling Yue¡¯s gaze swept past a row of cute figures. Not long after she started to study in the UK at that time, Ling Yue discovered that she was pregnant. It would be fine if she did not give birth, but she actually gave birth to four boys and two girls. At that time, even the British media was shocked! Fortunately, Ling Yue had been doing well in her studies, and relied on her scholarship to survive for a period of time. Later, she entered a law firm to intern and work, which made her be able to support her six babies! Now, because of a case, she needed to return China to conduct an investigation. Initially, she did not want to bring the children back However, the children clamored for following her to return home no matter what. The eldest child even said seriously that he was afraid that his mother would be seduced by a bad man! Ling Yue only felt that his idea went way over her head. As a barrister, she was even unable to out speak her own children! So the whole family had to move to home country.. Chapter 3 Translator: Langshare Editor: Langshare ¡°Listen up, I¡¯m going out to do something today. You have to listen to Sister Lu Na!¡± Ling Yue, with her hands around the waist, said to the kids in front of her. The six children sat neatly on the carpet in front of the sofa and looked up at Ling Yue. Their obedient and harmless look even made Ling Yue suspect that everything she had experienced was an illusion. She shook off those strange thoughts and fixed her gaze on her eldest child. ¡°Follow Sister Lu Na¡¯s orders. Don¡¯t bully them, got it?¡± The eldest child wrinkled his nose. ¡°Don¡¯t worry, Mom. I¡¯m here. No accidents would happen!¡± Ling Yue raised the corners of her lips and smiled bitterly. She couldn¡¯t help but shout in her heart¡­ ¡°All of you are accidents! Special accidents!¡±! Lu Na and the other two nannies were part-timers, and they were university students hired by Ling Yue to take care of her children. As Ling Yue had just returned to China and felt strange here, thanks to the help of the administrative assistant of the law firm, she found part-time nannies so quickly. Although they were called nannies, the children were actually very capable of taking care of themselves and did not need special care. It was just that they always liked to make some unexpected surprises¡­ Therefore, Ling Yue had no choice but to find someone to keep an eye on them! ¡°Alright! I don¡¯t have much time! Remember to be obedient!¡± Ling Yue did not forget to instruct them. She stood in front of the dressing mirror and confirmed her attire before rushing out of the door. This time, her mission was special. She would not work as a lawyer. Instead, she was going to go undercover and find out some exact details about the other party. Ling Yue originally didn¡¯t want to take this job. After all, she wasn¡¯t a super female agent, so she was reluctant to take trouble to do such an undercover job. However, her master, an old man in his sixties, called her day and night to pursuade her to do so, so she had to accept this job. Ling Yue walked into a high-end club, with a flyer in her hand. ¡°Miss, what can I do for you?¡± The receptionist at the door asked politely. ¡°I heard that you have a gym here. I want to take a look at it,¡± Ling Yue said while holding up the flyer in her hand. ¡°I¡¯m sorry, Miss. We have a membership system here,¡± the receptionist politely refused. Ling Yue frowned and asked, ¡°Why? Can¡¯t an outsider just take a look?¡± ¡°This¡­¡± the receptionist was stunned. Before he could answer, he was interrupted by Ling Yue. ¡°I want to understand the condition here and see if there is a need for having a membership here.¡± Ling Yue changed the topic, with an expectant look on her face. The receptionist hesitated for a moment, and said, ¡°Okay, Miss, please wait a moment.¡± The receptionist made a call and exchanged a few words with the person at the other end. Not long after, a person quickly ran over from the other side of the hall. ¡°Hello, Miss. I am a staff member of the gym. Please follow me.¡± That person¡¯s smile looked very sunny and made people feel very comfortable. Ling Yue followed behind that person and walked all the way to the other end of the winding corridor. When she walked into the gym, it was indeed a membership system, and there were only a few people inside. Ling Yue looked around the gym and did not find anything unusual. Under the guidance of the staff member, Ling Yue tried a few fitness facilities. ¡°Miss, have you always been in the workout habit? Your figure looks very terrific!¡± The staff member said sincerely. ¡°Yes! I worked as a coach in the gym for a period of time when I was abroad,¡± Ling Yue said modestly. ¡°That¡¯s very impressive!¡± The staff member said with a smile, ¡°Are you satisfied with the facilities and environment here?¡± ¡°Um¡­ Yes, I am satisfied!¡± Ling Yue said as she glanced at the photos on the wall and was suddenly stunned. The persons in the photos on the wall seemed to be the principal owners of the gym. One of them looked familiar to Ling Yue, but she couldn¡¯t remember him at the moment. Ling Yue immediately adjusted her mind and said, ¡°I want to apply for a coaching job here. Is that okay?¡± ¡°Ah?¡± The staff member obviously did not expect Ling Yue to make such a move and was stunned. Ling Yue smiled and said, ¡°I just came back to China not long ago. I need a job.¡± ¡°The environment here is not bad. If I can work out here for free and also have money to earn, that is all to the good!¡± Ling Yue said sincerely, as if it were really true. The staff member could tell Ling Yue¡¯s ability, but he did not know how to respond immediately. He only said, ¡°Please wait a moment, I¡¯ll ask our manager to come over!¡± Then he hurriedly ran away. Ling Yue just stood there with a smile as she watched that person leave.. Chapter 4 Translator: Langshare Editor: Langshare Ling Yue stood still and looked around the gym, looking at every corner of the ceiling from time to time. Sure enough, this gym was monitored by a video camera without any blind spots. Ling Yue practiced on a few fitness devices for a while, and then a strong-looking man walked over. ¡°Miss, are you exercising?¡± The man¡¯s deep voice rang in Ling Yue¡¯s ears. Ling Yue ignored him and continued to raise her barbell. Seeing that Ling Yue didn¡¯t say anything, the man frowned unhappily. ¡°Miss, shall we have a match?¡± The man stood beside Ling Yue and stared at Ling Yue¡¯s curvaceous body. Ling Yue still ignored the man and continued to walk towards the equipment on the other side. The man continued to pursue her relentlessly. ¡°Miss, don¡¯t ignore me!¡± Ling Yue was extremely annoyed. She glared at the man. ¡°What match?¡± The man was obviously shocked by Ling Yue¡¯s imposing manner. He paused for a moment before saying, ¡°Ah¡­ You pick!¡± Ling Yue gritted her teeth and said, ¡°Sanda, can you do it?¡± The man was obviously stunned. He did not expect Ling Yue to ask this question. ¡°Uh¡­ A little.¡± Normally, even if a woman had learned Sanda, she would not rashly confront a man, especially a man with strong muscles like him! ¡°Where is the Sanda arena?¡± Ling Yue asked. She was already a little impatient. The man seemed to be still in a state of being dominated by Ling Yue, leading the way for her. The two of them came to a separate Sanda classroom with all the training equipment and facilities. The two of them made their own preparations. Ling Yue carefully looked around the Sanda classroom. She could not help but whistle in her heart, ¡°If this place was not a black den, it would be a really good club!¡± Then, she could not help but shake her head and feel sorry, ¡°What a pity, the boss did nothing!¡± The man looked at Ling Yue¡¯s shaking head and thought that she was afraid, so he said, ¡°If you admit defeat and have a meal with me, then we can forget about this matter. What do you think?¡± ¡°Have a meal? With you?¡± Ling Yue¡¯s face twisted when she heard that. ¡°Let me treat you to a fist!¡± Ling Yue said and threw a punch at the man. The man was shocked. He did not expect Ling Yue to suddenly attack him. ¡°You¡­¡± ¡°What¡¯s wrong with me?¡± Ling Yue attacked continuously, not giving the man a chance to catch his breath. The man was hit several times, and he couldn¡¯t hold back for a while. He quickly raised his hands and said, ¡°Wait! Wait a minute!¡± ¡°Wait for what?¡± Ling Yue took two steps back and asked. ¡°I¡¯m not ready yet. Wait a minute!¡± The man panted slightly and leaned against the fence to rest. ¡°But I¡¯m in a hurry!¡± Ling Yue said and launched another attack. The man was obviously prepared, but he was still tired of defending, not to mention fighting back. The staff member ran to find the manager, but Ling Yue was gone. Just as the two were puzzled, they heard a sound coming from the Sanda Classroom. The two rushed to the Sanda Classroom and saw a tall and strong man being beaten up by a woman. The moment the two of them entered the Sanda Classroom, they saw Ling Yue throw a roundhouse kick and kicked the man to a corner of the field. The man fell to the ground and could not get up. He hit the ground heavily. ¡°I admit defeat, I admit defeat!¡± Ling Yue shrugged and said, ¡°I told you not to mess with me!¡± She turned over and jumped down from the platform. While loosening the bandage on her hand, she walked towards the staff member. ¡°You¡¯re back!¡± The staff member grinned and said, ¡°Miss, this is our manager¡­¡± ¡°Hello, manager!¡± Ling Yue stretched out her hand, wanting to shake the other person¡¯s hand. The other person hesitated for a moment, obviously frightened by Ling Yue¡¯s violence. After struggling for a moment, he stretched out his hand and said, ¡°Hello, I¡¯m the manager here. My surname is Lin. May I know how to address you, Miss?¡± ¡°Manager Lin, my name is Ling Yue. I want to apply for the position of a coach here,¡± Ling Yue said with a sweet smile. Manager Lin swallowed his saliva and said, ¡°Sanda¡­ Coach?¡± Ling Yue looked at the man behind her. The staff member had already run over to help the man up. ¡°Well¡­ It¡¯s okay! I¡¯m not picky about fitness programs!¡± Ling Yue said with a smile. She looked harmless and cute. Manager Lin shook and said, ¡°Okay, then please follow me to the office to talk about it..¡± Chapter 5 Translator: Langshare Editor: Langshare Ling Yue followed Manager Lin into the office. The office was decorated simply, with the rules and regulations of the club and gym posted on the wall. Ling Yue didn¡¯t expect that such a gang of thieves could have such strict policies and regulations. ¡°Miss Ling, I need to have a preliminary understanding of you before I can confirm whether we can work together,¡± Manager Lin said politely after guesturing for Ling Yue to take a seat. ¡°Okay! Then let me introduce myself briefly.¡± Ling Yue didn¡¯t have stage fright and said the lines that she had prepared. ¡°I have lived abroad with my husband for a few years. Because my husband passed away not long ago, I didn¡¯t want to be beset with those memories, so I chose to return home,¡± Ling Yue said with a hint of sadness in her tone. ¡°Miss Ling, I¡¯m sorry for your loss.¡± Manager Lin quickly comforted her. ¡°Thank you!¡± Ling Yue didn¡¯t stand on ceremony and lapped up his kind words. ¡°I¡¯m currently renting a room with a few children in the hotel apartment here,¡± Ling Yue said, deliberately ignoring her apartment of nearly 500 square meters. ¡°Because the children are still young and need someone to take care of them, although my husband left some inheritance, I can¡¯t just sit idle and use up all my savings,¡± Ling Yue said with a hint of grievance. ¡°I¡¯ve been married to him since I graduated, and I haven¡¯t worked much¡­¡± Ling Yue¡¯s eyes were filled with slight despair. ¡°Now I don¡¯t know what to do.¡± Manager Lin heard Ling Yue¡¯s words and felt a trace of pity in his heart. ¡°We have already understood Miss Ling¡¯s ability, and we are happy to help you out of the difficulties in your life,¡± Manager Lin said with a smile. Then, he stood up and stretched out a hand. ¡°Welcome to our team!¡± Ling Yue¡¯s eyes flashed with joy, and she stood up and stretched out her hand. ¡°We have a clear standard for the specific treatment. You can read it. If there are any adjustment in the future, we can discuss it later,¡± Manager Lin added. ¡°Okay!¡± Ling Yue looked very happy as if she had been reborn. Manager Lin called an assistant over. ¡°Xiao Yu, help Coach Ling familiarize herself with the environment and start her classes. If there are any problems, contact me immediately.¡± Then, he said to Ling Yue, ¡°Our gym will arrange coach assistants to help you organize the classes and arrange the class schedule. If there¡¯s anything you need, just ask her for help at any time.¡± A little girl with a round face walked forward and said to Ling Yue with a smile, ¡°Coach Ling, my name is Yu Rong. You can call me Xiao Yu.¡± Ling Yue looked at Yu Rong in surprise and nodded. Then, she smiled and said, ¡°Please give me more advice in the future!¡± ¡°Okay! Let Xiao Yu take you to familiarize yourself with the environment and start work tomorrow. Is that okay?¡± Manager Lin asked Ling Yue. Ling Yue nodded and said, ¡°The sooner the better!¡± Yu Rong brought Ling Yue to familiarize herself with the overall environment of the gym. Then, the two of them came to the tea room. Yu Rong looked at Ling Yue with admiration. Ling Yue subconsciously touched her own face. ¡°What¡¯s wrong? Is there something on my face?¡± ¡°No!¡± Yu Rong smiled and shook her head. ¡°Coach Ling, you¡¯re too awesome!¡± ¡°We have heard about what happened just now!¡± Yu Rong¡¯s face was full of bright smiles. ¡°The man you beat up just now is a VIP here. He always bullies we young girls by taking advantage of his height and muscular physique.¡± Yu Rong snorted discontentedly. ¡°The other coaches always turn a blind eye. After all, we have a membership system here, and the VIP guests are more important than any other members. We can¡¯t afford to offend them.¡± Yu Rong pursed her lips, feeling a little wronged. ¡°I¡¯ve been harassed by him several times!¡± Yu Rong said gloomily. ¡°No one stops him? Not even Manager Lin does not stop him?¡± Ling Yue was suddenly a little angry. ¡°It¡¯s not that no one stops him. It¡¯s just that this man always comes when there are fewer people. He always harasses me verbally, so it¡¯s not easy to gather evidence.¡± Yu Rong shrugged. ¡°So even if Manager Lin or the other coaches want to stop him, they can do nothing.¡± Yu Rong smiled helplessly. ¡°Then I really got him today!¡± Ling Yue smiled, ¡°Don¡¯t worry, I¡¯ll hit him every time I see him!¡± ¡°Hey! Don¡¯t!¡± Yu Rong tried to persuade her, ¡°That person has some background. It¡¯s better not to provoke him.¡± ¡°This time, he¡¯s probably stunned by the beating. When he comes back to his senses, he¡¯ll probably come make trouble again!¡± Yu Rong had some understanding of that person¡¯s temperament. ¡°Let him be! Who¡¯s afraid of him!¡± Ling Yue did not care about these things. Yu Rong looked at Ling Yue in admiration as if she had seen her idol.. Chapter 6 Translator: Langshare Editor: Langshare Yu Rong pulled Ling Yue to a chair at the side and comforted her, ¡°Don¡¯t worry, Coach Ling. Manager Lin will handle this matter well!¡± Then, Yu Rong¡¯s eyes suddenly lit up and she said excitedly, ¡°The big boss said that any coach or guest who violates the rules of the gym and club will be banned from admission for life!¡± Ling Yue looked at Yu Rong¡¯s excited eyes suspiciously. ¡°You think your big boss is great!¡± ¡°He¡¯s simply super great!¡± ¡°Young, handsome, gentlemanly, and rich!¡± Yu Rong held the cup with both hands and almost drooled. ¡°It¡¯s said that he¡¯s still single!¡± ¡°Ha ha¡­¡± Ling Yue pursed her lips and didn¡¯t know how to wake up the infatuated girl in front of her. After chatting with Yu Rong for a while, Ling Yue was basically familiar with the structure of the gym and the relevant rules and regulations, so she went home first. When she walked into the house, she saw that the children had already obediently stayed on bed for an afternoon nap. This made Ling Yue feel somewhat gratified. Although the children were usually a little rowdy, at critical moments, they could always make her feel at ease. After giving some instructions to Lu Na and the others, Ling Yue returned to her room alone. She opened a folder and took out the documents inside. Ling Yue studied them carefully. According to the contents of the documents, the recent missing persons cases here were all related to this gym. However, the police had not discovered any clues. After the victim¡¯s family came to this law firm, they hoped that the law firm could help them find evidence and sue the gym. For Ling Yue, she did not expect that the law firm had already started to take on the role of a private detective. However, her master had already personally appeared and used a bunch of conditions to force and entice her. Ling Yue had no choice but to give in. Flipping through the information column of the company, Ling Yue inadvertently saw the name ¡°Nothingness¡±. Her memory suddenly pulled back to that night four years ago¡­ A pink romantic memory instantly rushed into Ling Yue¡¯s mind. Her face turned red, and she suddenly felt hot all over her body. She desperately gulped down a few mouthfuls of cold water to suppress that fatal feeling. Just because of her impulsiveness that night, it had made her live a thrilling life in England for four years. But it was also because of her impulsiveness that she had such lovely six babies. Ling Yue actually had a struggle in her heart when she brought the babies back. She was afraid that the father of the children would know of their existence and come to snatch them away. However, she could not hide them forever. She had to face it anyway! Ling Yue had already made up her mind. Even if that man appeared and wanted to snatch the children away, she would never let go! Ling Yue calmed her mind and focused on the materials in her hands. She had to clear up the materials in her hands as soon as possible and find out the inside story of the gym so as to prevent more people from falling victim! The next morning, Ling Yue appeared at the entrance of the club. Because she had not applied for her work permit, she still had no way to enter the club. Suddenly, a black Bentley appeared behind her. In the car, a man slowly walked out. The man was tall and his well-tailored suit made him look refined and dignified. The door of the clubhouse was already open, and the staff inside lined up to welcome him. Ling Yue could not help but feel astonished. ¡°What a grand show!¡± The man did not even look at Ling Yue¡¯s side and quickly walked into the clubhouse. The assistant behind him hurriedly followed him, holding a thick stack of documents in his hands. After the man left, the staff of the club gathered together and whispered, ¡°I wonder who¡¯s going to be unlucky today!¡± ¡°Yeah! The person who makes President Shen appear so early in the morning is simply a talent!¡± Another staff member also came over and said. ¡°It looks like there¡¯s going to be a show today!¡± Someone laughed, eager for a good show. ¡°Don¡¯t you have to work anymore? Are you waiting for salary deduction?¡± A dignified female voice rang out, and everyone immediately fell silent. A woman who looked to be in her forties walked up to Ling Yue in a well-ironed suit and 7cm high heels. ¡°You¡¯re the new coach at the gym?¡± The woman sized Ling Yue up from top to bottom. Her appearance looked extremely provocative. Ling Yue raised her eyebrows and suppressed the urge to pinch off the woman¡¯s chin. ¡°Yes!¡± ¡°Come with me!¡± The woman said and led Ling Yue into the club.. Chapter 7 Translator: Langshare Editor: Langshare ¡°I am the personnel manager of this club. My surname is Wei,¡± the woman said as she walked in front of Ling Yue. ¡°Manager Wei,¡± Ling Yue called out obediently. ¡°Yes!¡± Manager Wei replied, ¡°I am responsible for personnel management of the club, gym, and hotel staff.¡± ¡°If you have any problems in the future, you can come to me directly, or you can ask your assistant to come to me,¡± Manager Wei said as she turned a corner and brought Ling Yue into an office. This was an independent office. The furnishings were mainly in black and gray, and it looked calm and reserved. ¡°This is my office,¡± Manager Wei introduced, ¡°I¡¯m now handling the matters related to your entry into the job. You can handle the other matters at the gym.¡± As Manager Wei said this, she picked up a phone on the table. ¡°Lin Xiao takes a leave today. Is there no one to bring me the documents?¡± Hearing Manager Wei¡¯s somewhat irritable voice, Ling Yue couldn¡¯t help but shrink her neck. ¡°Sit down!¡± Manager Wei said and led Ling Yue to sit down at the desk. ¡°Our club and gym have corresponding management systems. I suggest you familiarize yourself with these systems and don¡¯t touch the boss¡¯s bottom line like some people!¡± Manager Wei warned. Ling Yue hurriedly nodded. ¡°Okay! I¡¯ll see to that.¡± For some reason, she felt that this Manager Wei had an air of quiet authority as if she were a high school class teacher, which made her unconsciously obey her. Finally, after completing the entry procedures, Ling Yue came to the gym. The moment she stepped into the gym, she felt as if she had been freed from the terrible pressure. ¡°Coach Ling, you¡¯re finally here! Two ladies have asked you to be their coach,¡± Yu Rong said excitedly. ¡°Me?¡± Ling Yue was a little incredulous. ¡°It¡¯s my first day at work today!¡± ¡°Your heroic deeds yesterday have been spread all over our gym and club!¡± Yu Rong smiled timidly. ¡°So, some guests have already come to you, attracted by your fame. ¡± Ling Yue suddenly felt confused. ¡°Everyone knows¡­ my heroic deeds?¡± ¡°Yes! These two ladies are our regular customers! They said they also heard¡­¡± Yu Rong paused and looked at Ling Yue, believing Ling Yue get it. Ling Yue said ¡°Ah¡± awkwardly, and then concentrated on her work, and went to welcome her first batch of customers. Ling Yue had come to the gym as an undercover because she wanted to understand more about the shady business of this clubhouse through the customers here. Now that she had gotten close to the first batch of customers without any effort, it was a pleasant surprise! In the morning, Ling Yue led two female customers to do some basic training. The customers gave good response, and Ling Yue got a lot of information from the chat with them. The boss of the club was called Shen Zhou, the only son of the Shen family, the first aristocratic family in the capital. He took over the business empire of the Shen family at the age of 20 and expanded the business territory severalfold in four years. However, Shen Zhou was already 28 years old this year, and he still did not get close to any women. This upset the old lady of the Shen family, who was very eager for a great-grandson. There were many rumors about the reason why Shen Zhou did not get close to women. It was said that he once had a woman that he loved deeply. Later, that woman fell ill and died. Shen Zhou was so heartbroken that he decided not to love anyone anymore. Someone said that he had been deeply hurt by a woman, so he would no longer love any woman. No matter what the rumors were, at least 28-years-old Shen Zhou was generally considered to, have always been a loner, and have never had an affair with any woman. Ling Yue could not help but imagine a taboo relationship between a young master of a wealthy family. However, regardless of whether Shen Zhou was close to a woman or not, this could not cover up the fact that this clubhouse had a close relationship with the missing persons. Ling Yue had made up her mind to dig deep into the truth and expose her black-hearted boss in broad daylight! Ling Yue was enthusiastic, while Shen Zhou was gloomy. He had received news early in the morning that someone in the clubhouse had contacted an illegal organization. Shen Zhou came to the meeting room on the top floor of the clubhouse and swept his gaze across the people in charge. ¡°The source of this news is still to be investigated, but since such a rumor has come out, we must investigate it clearly!¡± Shen Zhou¡¯s voice did not allow others to interrupt. ¡°I don¡¯t think you want your name to appear on the social headlines tomorrow!¡± Shen Zhou¡¯s gaze coldly swept across the people in front of him. Originally, all the matters of the clubhouse were handled by the Shen family¡¯s collateral relatives. All these years, Shen Zhou had not really got involved in the management of the clubhouse. Now, there was actually a rumor that the clubhouse was involved in illegal transactions! Shen Zhou¡¯s gaze swept to his cousin, Zhang Sen, who was sitting beside him.. ¡°Manager Zhang, shouldn¡¯t you give me a reasonable explanation?¡± Chapter 8 Translator: Langshare Editor: Langshare Shen Zhou¡¯s question almost made Zhang Sen, who was already nervous, fall down from his chair. He stammered, ¡°This! This! The rumors may not be true! We will definitely investigate thoroughly!¡± ¡°Investigate thoroughly?¡± Shen Zhou stared at Zhang Sen with sharp eyes, ¡°Do you think I still trust you to investigate on your own?¡± Zhang Sen gritted his teeth. ¡°We will definitely find out!¡± ¡°Okay! I¡¯ll give you three days!¡± Shen Zhou said to his assistant, Han Yue, who was beside him. ¡°Send someone to keep an eye on them to ensure careful investigation!¡± Han Yue nodded and recorded everything down. Shen Zhou stood up and prepared to walk out. Everyone in the conference room finally heaved a sigh of relief. They secretly sighed that they were almost suffocated by the serious atmosphere. At this moment, Shen Zhou turned his head. ¡°I advise you to take care of yourselves!¡± ¡°If I really find out that someone has done something illegal¡­¡±Shen Zhou slightly raised the corner of his lips. ¡°Before he accepts the punishment of the government, I will make him regret what he has done!¡± When everyone heard this, they could not help but tremble. They believed that Shen Zhou must be a man of his words. Shen Zhou strode out of the conference room. When he reached the entrance of the clubhouse, he suddenly stopped. A crescent-shaped hair clip on the ground caught his attention. Shen Zhou bent down to pick up the hair clip, and he remembered the figure that had swept past him before he entered the door just now. This hair clip seemed to belong to that girl. That figure¡­ was somewhat familiar! Shen Zhou turned to look at the receptionist who was preparing to escort him away. ¡°Where¡¯s the girl who was here just now?¡± The receptionist was shocked by Shen Zhou and stammered, ¡°Which girl?¡± Shen Zhou frowned and stared at the receptionist. ¡°The girl who was standing at the door just now.¡± The receptionist was stunned and her mind was cut off. She could not think of any girl at all. A staff member next to her walked up and said, ¡°President Shen, you¡¯re asking about the newcomer Coach Ling, right?¡± ¡°Coach Ling?¡± Shen Zhou repeated the name and frowned even more. ¡°Yes! A new coach joined the gym yesterday!¡± The staff member introduced, ¡°She beat up on the ¡°Troll¡± shortly after she arrived!¡± ¡°Troll?¡± Shen Zhou frowned even more. Only then did the staff member realize that she had said the wrong word and immediately shut up. Han Yue went up and explained in a low voice, ¡°That weirdo who always calls himself the second generation of the Giant Rock Johnson¡­¡± Shen Zhou glanced at Han Yue with a cold gaze. Han Yue shrank his shoulders and took a step back. ¡°She just came here and then hit someone? And she even hit a VIP guest?¡± Shen Zhou raised his eyebrows slightly. ¡°How come Manager Lin hired such a coach?¡± ¡°Does she not want to work here anymore?¡± Shen Zhou raised his tone slightly, sounding a little angry. ¡°This clubhouse really surprised me!¡± As Shen Zhou spoke, he tightened the hair clip and turned around to walk towards the gym. Han Yue followed behind Shen Zhou helplessly as they walked towards the gym. After Shen Zhou left, the staff member could not help but pat her own mouth. ¡°You have such a big mouth!¡± After entering the gym, Shen Zhou searched around, but he did not see the figure appearing in the morning. He walked to Manager Lin¡¯s office with some disappointment. When he pushed the door open, Manager Lin was busy sorting out the documents on the table. ¡°Wait a moment, I¡¯ll be done right away!¡± As Manager Lin said this, his gaze swept over to the person who had just come. For an instant, he was so scared that his jaw almost fell off. ¡°President¡­. President Shen!¡± Manager Lin quickly put down the things in his hands and quickly stood up to greet him. Shen Zhou responded and walked into the office. He said, ¡°Go ahead for your work first!¡± Manager Lin gave an awkward smile. ¡°I¡¯m not busy!¡± ¡°President Shen, what¡¯s the matter?¡± Manager Lin asked with a trembling voice. ¡°I heard that you have a new coach here?¡± Shen Zhou asked with some curiosity. Hearing Shen Zhou¡¯s words, Manager Lin felt a little strange. President Shen never cared about such a thing. Why did he suddenly care about things like coach? He answered truthfully, ¡°Yes! We have a new female coach. She is very capable!¡± ¡°Capable enough to beat up on the customer?¡± Shen Zhou asked again with unfriendly tone. Manager Lin paused for a moment, then explained, ¡°President Shen, here is the thing. Because the customer harassed the coach and other female colleagues first, so¡­¡± ¡°Where¡¯s the evidence?¡± Before Manager Lin could finish, Shen Zhou asked again. Manager Lin quickly walked to the computer and retrieved yesterday¡¯s video records.. The video showed that the man had been walking around Ling Yue for up to 10 minutes. During this period, he occasionally reached out his hand to touch Ling Yue¡¯s body. Ling Yue dodged a few times before she finally got up and left. Although this scene could not be used as concrete evidence of harassment, it was enough to explain why the fight happened. However, Shen Zhou stared at the figure on the screen and kept still for a long time.. Chapter 9 Translator: Langshare Editor: Langshare Manager Lin didn¡¯t know what Shen Zhou was thinking, so he could only stand aside nervously. Han Yue also didn¡¯t know what was wrong with Shen Zhou, so he just stared at the monitor. ¡°Is this the new coach surnamed Ling?¡± Shen Zhou narrowed his eyes and stared at the screen. ¡°Ah! Yes! A very capable coach!¡± Manager Lin quickly answered from the side. ¡°Where is she?¡± Shen Zhou asked again. ¡°She said that she had some family matters and took a temporary leave of absence,¡± Manager Lin said nervously. He never expected that Coach Ling would be caught by the big boss on her first day of leave! ¡°Okay!¡± Shen Zhou didn¡¯t say anything and continued to sit in his seat, gazing at the static image in front of him.. As shown in the screen, Ling Yue¡¯s eyes were staring at the camera, as if she was saying, ¡°Watch me carefully!¡± Shen Zhou kept unmoved, but Manager Lin, who was standing at the side, became even more nervous. ¡°Well¡­ President Shen¡­¡± ¡°Go do your own thing. I¡¯ll sit here for a while,¡± Shen Zhou said naturally. When Manager Lin heard this, he turned his head perplexedly to look at Han Yue. Although Han Yue also felt a headache, if he didn¡¯t say something now, Manager Lin wouldn¡¯t be able to work for the rest of the day! ¡°President Shen, why don¡¯t we go to the reception room and sit there for a while?¡± Han Yue asked tentatively. Shen Zhou didn¡¯t speak. Han Yue and Manager Lin could only stand at the side and hold their breaths. Finally, Shen Zhou withdrew his gaze and stood up. ¡°Let¡¯s go!¡± Manager Lin hurriedly bowed and sent Shen Zhou and Han Yue out as if he had been granted amnesty. Han Yue was very confused about Shen Zhou¡¯s attitude, but it was not appropriate for him to ask. Finally, after sitting in the reception room for half an hour, Shen Zhou said, ¡°I found that person.¡± ¡°That person? Which person?¡± Shen Zhou¡¯s sudden words perplexed Han Yue. ¡°That woman¡­¡± Shen Zhou answered simply. ¡°Woman?¡± Han Yue was a little confused, not knowing why Shen Zhou said this word. Suddenly, he had a flash of inspiration. ¡°Ah! You mean, that woman from back then?¡± ¡°Yes!¡± Shen Zhou answered, but didn¡¯t say anything more. By associating with Shen Zhou¡¯s strange actions, Han Yue asked, ¡°That person is Coach Ling, right?¡± ¡°Yes!¡± Shen Zhou¡¯s reticence shocked Han Yue even more. ¡°This¡­¡± Han Yue suddenly felt that the fate between the two was really weird. ¡°Wait!¡± After saying this word, Shen Zhou stopped talking. Han Yue was a little excited. He wanted to see what this woman, whom Shen Zhou had been concerned about for four years, looked like! Four years ago, he went to ¡°Nothingness¡± with Shen Zhou to negotiate a business deal. Who knew that just as the deal was settled, Shen Zhou disappeared. Then, Shen Zhou began to look for a woman. A woman who appeared in ¡°Nothingness¡± four years ago and then disappeared. However, it kept a secret that Shen Zhou looked for a woman, and the search was only done through ¡°secret¡± channels. However, it was unknown whether because the person who did the search work was not capable or for some other reason, the search work was always cut off after getting some information about the woman. The woman whom he thought could never be found in his lifetime had showed up on her own! ¡­ Ling Yue received a call from Lu Na and hurried home. ¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡± Ling Yue looked at Lu Na and asked anxiously. ¡°A stranger came to our door today and said that he wanted to see the children,¡± Lu Na said nervously. ¡°A stranger? Did he say who he was?¡± Ling Yue walked into the room and saw a few children sleeping in the room safe and sound. ¡°He said he is your acquaintance and will contact you again,¡± Lu Na told her the truth. ¡°My acquaintance?¡± Ling Yue was puzzled. She didn¡¯t remember who she had told about her return, and there were few people who knew about her and the children. Just when Ling Yue was at a loss, a phone call came. ¡°Why didn¡¯t you tell me you were coming back?¡± A question made Ling Yue¡¯s furrowed brows finally relax. ¡°Auntie Yuan!¡± ¡°You still remember your Auntie Yuan?!¡± The person on the other end snorted. ¡°You didn¡¯t want to see me, an old woman, even if you came back with your children!¡± ¡°Oh my! How can you be old?!¡± Ling Yue immediately said in a fawning manner, ¡°It¡¯s because I just came back with a job and can¡¯t get away for a while.¡± ¡°An excuse!¡± Auntie Yuan grumbled unhappily. ¡°Alright! When I settle down, I will definitely take the children to visit you!¡± Ling Yue promised. ¡°That¡¯s more like it!¡± Auntie Yuan was finally satisfied. ¡°Auntie Yuan, did you send someone here today?¡± Ling Yue asked tentatively. ¡°I sent someone?¡± Auntie Yuan paused, ¡°Someone went to look for you?¡± ¡°Isn¡¯t it you?¡± Ling Yue suddenly became nervous. ¡°No!¡± Auntie Yuan said firmly. ¡°Then¡­¡± Ling Yue held her phone tightly. The two spoke a few more words and then hung up the phone.. Chapter 10 Translator: Langshare Editor: Langshare Seeing that the children were fine, Ling Yue gave Lu Na a few instructions and walked back to the gym. For the convenience of investigation, Ling Yue rented a place not far from the clubhouse. She still felt a little uneasy, as if something was going to happen. When she returned to the gym, Ling Yue changed her clothes and was stopped by Yu Rong. ¡°Coach Ling, Manager Lin asked you to go to his office when you come back.¡± ¡°Manager Lin is looking for me?¡± Ling Yue looked at Yu Rong in confusion. ¡°Did he say what it is about?¡± ¡°No.¡± Yu Rong shook her head and lowered her voice to approach Ling Yue. ¡°But he is grim-faced. It seems to be a big deal.¡± Ling Yue frowned and felt even more uneasy. She walked to the door of Manager Lin¡¯s office and knocked on the door. Manager Lin¡¯s voice came from inside. ¡°Come in.¡± Ling Yue pushed the door open and saw Manager Lin busy in his seat with sweat all over his forehead. Manager Lin looked up and saw that it was Ling Yue. He looked actually relieved. ¡°Coach Ling, you¡¯re finally back!¡± Ling Yue didn¡¯t expect Manager Lin had such an attitude. She was frightened and took two steps back. ¡°Manager Lin, why are you looking for me?¡± Ling Yue looked at Manager Lin¡¯s excited look and asked. ¡°It¡¯s like this. A big shot wants to see you. He has been waiting for a long time!¡± Manager Lin said and subconsciously looked in the direction of the reception room. ¡°Big shot?¡± Ling Yue subconsciously repeated. She had just returned to China, so she shouldn¡¯t know any big shot! ¡°Yes! Come on, I¡¯ll take you there,¡± Manager Lin said and led Ling Yue to the reception room. In the corridor far away, Ling Yue saw a person sneakily poking his head out of the door of the reception room. Just as she was puzzled, the person pushed open the door of the reception room and walked in. ¡°President Shen, it is really you!¡± ¡°I¡¯m the membership consultant of our gym. You can call me Xiao Xiao.¡± Fu Xiao twisted her waist and walked into the reception room. When Han Yue saw Shen Zhou unhappy, he quickly stood up and stopped Fu Xiao. ¡°President Shen is busy right now. You can go out!¡± ¡°What¡¯s the matter, President Shen? Xiao Xiao can help you!¡± Fu Xiao said as she looked at Shen Zhou over Han Yue¡¯s shoulder. Shen Zhou frowned slightly and looked a little impatient. Han Yue sighed for Fu Xiao¡¯s reckless action and said, ¡°You¡¯d better go out now! Otherwise¡­¡± Fu Xiao did not mind. She continued to look in the direction of Shen Zhou and said in a delicate voice, ¡°President Shen, did you come to the gym to experience how hospital our gym staff are?¡± ¡°I would like to show you around!¡± Fu Xiao¡¯s voice became more and more delicate. Han Yue sighed, sighing for the tragic fate that Fu Xiao might have in the future. ¡°Get out of the way!¡± Shen Zhou shouted in a low voice, giving Fu Xiao a fright. However, she did not retreat. Instead, she pushed Han Yue away and glared at him. ¡°Didn¡¯t you hear President Shen?¡± Han Yue was stunned as he watched Fu Xiao walk towards Shen Zhou. The smile on her face was extremely bright. She stretched out a hand and placed it on Shen Zhou¡¯s shoulder. ¡°President Shen, what service do you need? I can do it for you!¡± Shen Zhou looked straight ahead and said again, ¡°Get lost!¡± Fu Xiao was shocked by Shen Zhou¡¯s voice and subconsciously withdrew her hand. After a short while, she calmed herself down, gritted her teeth, and tentatively stretched out her hand again. This time, Shen Zhou did not give her a chance to hesitate. He grabbed her hand and gently pushed it. ¡°Ah!¡± Fu Xiao screamed and retreated, with one hand covering her arm. ¡°It¡¯s broken! It¡¯s broken!¡± Fu Xiao screamed and looked at her arm. Han Yue shook his head helplessly. ¡°I told you not to provoke him!¡± He pushed Fu Xiao out of the reception room and said, ¡°It¡¯s just a dislocation. Go to the hospital and ask Manager Lin to pay the medical expense.¡± As he said that, Han Yue glanced at Manager Lin who had already walked over. ¡°This¡­ you handle it!¡± Manager Lin hurriedly nodded. ¡°I know, I know¡­¡± Manager Lin said to Ling Yue who was behind him, ¡°Coach Ling, this is Assistant Han. You can just follow him in.¡± Ling Yue was still in shock and did not know how to react when she saw Fu Xiao crying incessantly. The moment Han Yue saw Ling Yue, he immediately sized her up from head to toe. Then, he revealed a knowing smile. No wonder President Shen had disliked other women for so many years. It turned out that he had a better choice! Manager Lin pulled Fu Xiao away and sighed as they walked. ¡°Why did you provoke that ancestor for no reason!¡± ¡°Now you have to go to hospital and also lose your job!¡± Manager Lin said as he walked towards the office. Following that, Fu Xiao¡¯s cries trailed away.. Chapter 11 Translator: Langshare Editor: Langshare Ling Yue didn¡¯t like the way Han Yue looked at her, as if he was waiting for a good show to start. She didn¡¯t know who the big shot was, but she subconsciously felt that it wasn¡¯t a good thing. Ling Yue seemed to be retreating, her feet slightly moving backward. Han Yue saw through Ling Yue¡¯s intentions, smiled, and said towards the room, ¡°President Shen, Coach Ling is here!¡± Before Ling Yue could react, she saw a figure walk out of the room. Ling Yue raised her head slightly and looked at the tall man in front of her. She felt that he looked familiar. However, she really could not remember when she had seen this man before. How could she not have an impression of such a handsome man with such a good temperament! Shen Zhou stood in front of Ling Yue, his eyes fixed on Ling Yue¡¯s face. Ling Yue was a little shy from the gaze. She subconsciously lowered her head. Then, she suddenly raised her head and looked at Shen Zhou. ¡°Am I, Ling Yue, a coward? Why should I be afraid of him!¡± Ling Yue cheered for herself in her heart. However, the man¡¯s gaze became more and more passionate, making Ling Yue a little at a loss. Shen Zhou stared at Ling Yue without saying a word. Han Yue stood at the side and watched for a long time. The two of them stared at each other as if they were competing. Helplessly sighing, Han Yue reminded, ¡°President Shen, why don¡¯t we talk in the reception room?¡± Shen Zhou responded and turned around to walk into the reception room. Han Yue urged Ling Yue to enter the meeting room. Ling Yue stood rooted to the ground in shock. ¡°That¡¯s¡­ That¡¯s it?¡± However, when Han Yue returned to the meeting room, Shen Zhou ordered him to leave. ¡°Get Out!¡± ¡°Me?¡± Han Yue pointed at his own nose in disbelief. Shen Zhou did not say anything but shot him a glare. Han Yue pursed his lips and stepped out of the meeting room, closing the door behind him. He stared at the closed door and pouted. ¡°I can¡¯t believe I¡¯m not allowed to listen to gossip!¡± In the meeting room, Ling Yue stood there awkwardly and looked at Shen Zhou. She did not know why she was so nervous when she saw Shen Zhou. She felt like she owed him! This feeling made Ling Yue very uncomfortable. ¡°Sit down,¡± Shen Zhou said and gestured for Ling Yue to sit down. Ling Yue found a seat that was a bit far away from Shen Zhou and sat down. Shen Zhou raised his eyebrows. He was somewhat dissatisfied with Ling Yue¡¯s actions. However, he still suppressed his emotions. There were more important things that he needed to say. ¡°You¡­ Why did you run away?¡± Shen Zhou asked without any hesitation. ¡°Me?¡± Ling Yue was stunned. She did not know why Shen Zhou said that. ¡°Run away?¡± ¡°I didn¡¯t? When did I¡­¡± Ling Yue said to herself. She suddenly stopped. Ling Yue thought of something. She widened her eyes and stared at Shen Zhou. ¡°You are¡­¡± ¡°You remembered?¡± Shen Zhou¡¯s lips curled into a smile as he looked at Ling Yue. Yes! She remembered! This man was the man who offered sexual service back then! However, Ling Yue did not expect to see him again. What a small world! Ling Yue was suddenly a little scared and subconsciously wanted to run away. Not for anything else, she could not let him know about the children! Absolutely not! Shen Zhou saw Ling Yue¡¯s fear and frowned, ¡°Are you afraid of me?¡± ¡°I. . . I. . .¡± Ling Yue did not know how to answer. She just wanted to run away from this place as soon as possible. Shen Zhou stood up and slowly approached Ling Yue. Ling Yue suddenly screamed and ran to the door. She opened the door of the reception room and was about to run out. Han Yue, who was standing at the door and wanted to eavesdrop, almost fell into the room. Before he could stabilize himself, he saw Ling Yue running out. He was about to chase after her when he heard Shen Zhou¡¯s voice, ¡°There¡¯s no need to chase after her!¡± Han Yue steadied himself before looking at Shen Zhou and asking, ¡°What¡¯s wrong with her?¡± ¡°She ran away!¡± Shen Zhou still had a smile on his face. ¡°Ah?¡± Han Yue looked at Shen Zhou in bafflement. Although Shen Zhou was quite scary when he lost his temper, there are still hordes of women throwing themselves at him. Moreover, wasn¡¯t this Coach Ling the person that Shen Zhou was looking for? He wouldn¡¯t scare her away just like that! Han Yue was more and more confused. ¡°She can¡¯t escape me!¡± Shen Zhou said with certainty. She couldn¡¯t run away for the rest of her life! Han Yue looked at Shen Zhou¡¯s determined expression and suddenly began to worry about Ling Yue¡¯s future life¡­ Chapter 12 Translator: Langshare Editor: Langshare Ling Yue ran into the pantry and panted nervously. Yu Rong, who had just walked into the pantry to make coffee, was shocked to see her in such a daze. ¡°Coach Ling, what happened to you?¡± Yu Rong walked forward and asked with concern. Ling Yue grabbed the cup beside her and gulped down a mouthful of water before she recovered slightly. ¡°I¡¯m fine!¡± ¡°Really?¡± Yu Rong asked in disbelief. Ling Yue regained her senses. ¡°Yes! Don¡¯t worry! It¡¯ll be fine!¡± It was unknown whether Ling Yue was saying this to Yu Rong or to herself. She tried to calm herself down. Just now, she heard Manager Lin say that a big shot was looking for her. It seemed that this person had some relationship with this club. An important client? or.. Ling Yue shook her head and rejected other possibilities. It was obvious that the man had recognized her. However, he did not know her identity, nor did he know about what happened to her after she went abroad. So, as long as she did well in keeping it a secret, nothing would be discovered by him! Ling Yue tried hard to comfort herself. ¡°It¡¯s okay, he won¡¯t know anything!¡± Ling Yue finally calmed down. She turned around and found that Yu Rong was still looking at her worriedly. She smiled and said to Yu Rong, ¡°I¡¯m fine.¡± Yu Rong nodded in disbelief. She turned around to take the water in slow motion and looked back at Ling Yue from time to time. Ling Yue was still sitting in her original seat. No one knew what she was thinking. ¡°I can¡¯t leave yet¡­¡± Ling Yue thought to herself. ¡°I can only try my best not to let him find out the children.¡± ¡°It seems that the matter here needs to be resolved as soon as possible!¡± Ling Yue clenched her fists. ¡°Once this matter is resolved, I¡¯ll take the children back to England!¡± ¡°Never come back!¡± Ling Yue suddenly stood up and said in a low voice. ¡°What?¡± Yu Rong was still staring at Ling Yue¡¯s back. She was shocked by Ling Yue¡¯s sudden action and asked. ¡°Ah!¡± Ling Yue turned around and looked at Yu Rong awkwardly. ¡°Nothing, nothing¡­¡± Yu Rong replied with an ¡°Oh¡± and watched Ling Yue walk out of the pantry with bold steps. Ever since they met in the reception room, Shen Zhou seemed to have disappeared from Ling Yue¡¯s life. Although she felt that it was a little strange, Ling Yue was finally relieved. This was for the best! Ling Yue did her job as her coach, secretly investigating the inside and outside of the clubhouse. It was not what she had expected. According to the information she received, human trafficking were suspected here. However, according to her observation, except the management personnel, everyone else here seemed to be very satisfied with their work and did not have the idea to develop other businesses. Since they were comfortable in their current life, who would take the risk to break the law? The more Ling Yue thought about it, the more she felt strange. She felt that it was time to contact her master. Ling Yue asked her master Jiang Fan out to meet at a cafe near the clubhouse. Jiang Fan had a judicial background and was full of righteousness, which made people feel that they had to stand straight when they approached him. Every time Ling Yue saw Jiang Fan, she respected and admired him because Jiang Fan had super strong business ability and a strong interpersonal network. The reason why Ling Yue was involved in such a case was that she was a stranger to the persons involved in the case. ¡°Master, is the information you received accurate?¡± Ling Yue asked. ¡°Why are there so many discrepancies between the information I found and the information the other party gave?¡± Ling Yue put the documents she found in front of Jiang Fan. Jiang Fan flipped through the documents in front of him one by one, frowning from time to time. After a long while, he put down the documents. ¡°Do you think there¡¯s nothing wrong with this club?¡± Ling Yue didn¡¯t dare to answer ¡°Yes¡± or ¡°No¡±. However, she was skeptical about the mission this time. ¡°You said that we should maintain a skeptical attitude toward everything.¡± ¡°I don¡¯t think there¡¯s nothing wrong with this club, and I also doubt the authenticity of such information,¡± Ling Yue said what she thought. Jiang Fan nodded in appreciation. ¡°Our job is to verify the facts, so we need you to gather more evidence¡­¡± ¡°I understand!¡± Ling Yue said and paused. ¡°Have you told anyone else about the news that the children and I came back?¡± Ling Yue asked. ¡°Anyone else?¡± Jiang Fan frowned. He thought for a moment and said, ¡°Your senior brother knows too.¡± ¡°Senior brother?¡± Ling Yue was a little surprised. ¡°Bai Yang?¡± ¡°Yes!¡± Jiang Fan nodded. ¡°Why? Can¡¯t I tell him?¡± Ling Yue shook her head. ¡°Not really¡­ It¡¯s just¡­.¡± Chapter 13 Translator: Langshare Editor: Langshare ¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡± Jiang Fan asked, noticing Ling Yue¡¯s anxious expression. ¡°We just came back not long ago, and someone came looking for us.¡± Ling Yue voiced out the worry in her heart. ¡°He didn¡¯t reveal his name, so I¡¯m afraid¡­¡± Jiang Fan¡¯s expression also changed. ¡°I¡¯ll ask Bai Yang!¡± ¡°Okay!¡± Ling Yue nodded. She was thinking about whether she should move to other place as soon as possible. Bai Yang was Ling Yue¡¯s senior brother and also Zhang Ming¡¯s buddy. Although Bai Yang had pursued Ling Yue for a period of time back then. But later on, because both Bai Yang and Ling Yue had straightforward personalities, they often quarreled. Moreover, Bai Yang¡¯s buddy Zhang Ming was also pursuing Ling Yue, so Bai Yang gave up. Later on at the wedding, after Zhang Ming¡¯s affair was exposed, Bai Yang and this good brother Zhang Ming also parted ways. However, Ling Yue could not guarantee that after knowing about her and the children, Bai Yang would not go look for trouble with Zhang Ming again. After all, her departure back then was largely due to Zhang Ming¡¯s reason. Over these years, Ling Yue did not dare to contact Bai Yang because she was afraid that his straightforward personality would reveal her whereabouts. When Ling Yue returned home, a few children were surrounding Lu Na and asking her to take them to the amusement park. Ever since she returned to the country, Ling Yue had never taken the children out to play. This was also why she felt guilty. Although the children were really little men, they were just three or four years old, it was natural for them to want to go out to play. Ling Yue saw that Lu Na looked like she was about to cry, so she quickly went forward and said with a smile, ¡°Mommy is off today. Can I take you to Grandma Yuan¡¯s house to play?¡± ¡°Sure!¡± The six children answered in unison with happy smiles on their faces. Lu Na looked like she was relieved and sighed, ¡°I¡¯ll go pack my things right away.¡± Ling Yue smiled as she watched Lu Na run away. After Lu Na and the other two assistants packed up the children¡¯s things, they followed Ling Yue and set off with the children. Ling Yue rented a large nanny van and hired a full-time driver. A group of people set off in a mighty manner, driving along the city road to the suburbs. Since Ling Yue left, Auntie Yuan sold a house in the city center, bought a piece of land in the suburbs, and built a small farm herself. Ling Yue had no parents since she was young, and Auntie Yuan was her only relative. The farce at the wedding that year made Auntie Yuan angry with her for a long time. It was not until Ling Yue went abroad and had children that Auntie Yuan finally forgave her. Being worried about her, Auntie Yuan went abroad from time to time to accompany her for a period of time. Later, when the children gradually grew up, Auntie Yuan urged Ling Yue to bring the children back to the country. Although Ling Yue had always promised verbally, it was not until she received this mission that she really brought the children back with her. The children slept all the way. Ling Yue looked at the scenery outside the window and was in a daze. She hadn¡¯t been so comfortable for a long time. Ling Yue didn¡¯t wake the children up until they reached the outskirts of the farm. The little ones looked at the scene outside the window and all of them screamed excitedly. ¡°Look! It¡¯s a little lamb!¡± The third child shouted excitedly. ¡°And a dog!¡± The sixth child also pointed outside the window and laughed happily. Ling Yue was filled with gratitude while seeing the children¡¯s excited expressions. Auntie Yuan knew that she and the children needed a quiet environment to live in, so she built a small farm here. Auntie Yuan always said that when she was old, she would live on this farm. At that time, Ling Yue and the children would come to the farm together to take care of her. She knew that Auntie Yuan did this for her and the children. Ling Yue urged the children to pack up their things and go to the largest building in the farm. Along the way, the little children were bouncing ahead, looking particularly lively. As soon as Auntie Yuan received the news, she had been waiting at the door for a long time. When she saw the little children rushing over excitedly when they saw her, Aunt Yuan¡¯s entire face was beaming with joy. ¡°Granny Yuan!¡± The small figures rushed towards Aunt Yuan. Even the second brother, who disliked talking, followed his brothers and sisters to run over. ¡°My babies!¡± Auntie Yuan opened her arms and squatted down, hugging the children in her arms. Her face was filled with a happy smile. After kissing each child¡¯s face, Auntie Yuan raised her head and glared at Ling Yue. ¡°You finally visit me!¡± Ling Yue smiled, walked to Aunt Yuan, stretched out her arms, and hugged her tightly.. Chapter 14 Translator: Langshare Editor: Langshare The family sat neatly at the dining table. The children looked at the sumptuous dishes on the table with drool. ¡°Did you not give the children good meals again?¡± Auntie Yuan looked at Ling Yue with a reproachful look. Ling Yue shrank her neck with a wronged look. ¡°I still eat takeout myself¡­¡± ¡°How dare you say that!¡± Auntie Yuan widened her eyes. ¡°When the children are growing up!¡± Then, she sighed. ¡°Forget it! Since you are busy with work every day, let the children stay with me for a period of time!¡± ¡°Ah?¡± Ling Yue was a little discouraged. She had never been separated from the children since they were born. Now that they were going to be separated suddenly, she really couldn¡¯t bear it. ¡°Don¡¯t worry! I will take good care of them!¡± Auntie Yuan knew what Ling Yue was concerned about. ¡°Hurry up and finish your work. Just come here to pick them up!¡± Auntie Yuan added. Shen Zhou¡¯s face suddenly appeared in Ling Yue¡¯s mind. Her whole body quivered. Thinking of Shen Zhou¡¯s words and actions that day, Ling Yue felt that he did not intend to let her off easily. She did not know what his purpose was, but she vaguely felt that she was not at ease. She absolutely could not let him know about the children! She thought about it, and it seemed like it was a good idea to let the children stay at Aunt Yuan¡¯s house for a while so that Shen Zhou couldn¡¯t discover them! Ling Yue looked at the children and asked, ¡°Are you prepared to stay at Granny Yuan¡¯s house for a period of time?¡± Although the children were still young, Ling Yue had always respected their opinions. Since she wanted them to leave her for some time, she had to ask for their opinions. First, the eldest child said, ¡°Mom would come to pick us up as soon as she¡¯s done with her work!¡± ¡°Mom is working hard! We can stay with Grandma Yuan for some time!¡± The third child also said, ¡°There¡¯s also delicious food here!¡± Ling Yue couldn¡¯t help rolling her eyes when the third child added. ¡°Idiot! Mom will be sad if you say that!¡± The sixth child stretched out his small hand and waved it to the opposite, as if he was going to hit the third child. The third child pouted. ¡°You stop me from telling the truth!¡± The fourth child lowered his head and continued to eat. ¡°Well, whatever you decide, it¡¯s okay by me.¡± The fifth child grabbed his robot and said, ¡°It¡¯s okay as long as I am with Optimus Prime!¡± Ling Yue secretly sighed and realized that her attraction to the children was not as great as she had imagined. The second child, who had remained silent the whole time, raised his head slightly and looked at Ling Yue. Just when Ling Yue thought that the second child would be reluctant to part and say something to pursuade her to stay, the second child said indifferently, ¡°I agree!¡± Ling Yue¡¯s heart was struck again. She sighed and said to Aunt Yuan, ¡°Then I¡¯ll have to trouble Auntie Yuan to take care of the children for a while.¡± ¡°Don¡¯t worry!¡± Auntie Yuan looked at the children cheerfully and asked, ¡°Granny Yuan will take you to the back hill to see the monkeys tomorrow, Okay?¡± The children widened their eyes in excitement and looked eager to go. ¡°Okay!¡± Ling Yue once again felt that she was not that important as a mother. The next day, Ling Yue returned to the city alone, leaving the children with Aunt Yuan. Looking at Ling Yue¡¯s dejected look, Lu Na thought she was worried about the children. She could not help but advise her, ¡°Sister Ling, don¡¯t be sad. The children should be happy at the farm.¡± This sentence struck Ling Yue once again. ¡°Yes! They should be happy¡­¡± The more Ling Yue said, the more aggrieved she became. Seeing that her comforting words had the opposite effect, Lu Na quickly shut up. Because the children were staying on the farm temporarily, Ling Yue gave Lu Na and the others a holiday. When she returned to her residence alone, Ling Yue suddenly felt lonely as never before. All these years, with the children by her side, Ling Yue had never felt lonely even when she was in a foreign land. At this moment, that deep sense of loneliness suddenly attacked her. Ling Yue turned on all the lights in the room, hoping that these lights would warm her up. She walked into the children¡¯s room, lay on the small bed and closed her eyes. She was the only one left in the once-lively room. Shen Zhou got out of the car and looked at the brightly-lit room on the first floor. ¡°According to the investigation, Miss Ling provided us a fake address.¡± Han Yue said, ¡°This is her actual address.¡± Although Han Yue did not know why Ling Yue would provide a fake address, they quickly found the real address. Shen Zhou¡¯s eyes were fixed on the spot where the lights were shining. A resolute and persistent look came to his face. This time, I will not let you run away! Chapter 15 Translator: Langshare Editor: Langshare Waking up in a daze on the small bed, Ling Yue got up and walked to the kitchen, wanting to pour herself a glass of water. She felt her head was heavy, as if she had signs of a cold. Ling Yue drank the water and looked at the clock. It was three o¡¯clock in the morning. She staggered back to her bed, covered herself with the blanket, and prepared to go back to sleep. Suddenly, her phone flashed, as if there was a new message. Ling Yue hesitated for a moment, but she still picked up her phone. ¡°Yue, you¡¯re back.¡± An anonymous message came from an unknown number. However, Ling Yue still guessed who the message sender was. Ling Yue held her phone tightly and frowned slightly. Ever since she went abroad, Ling Yue had changed all her contact information, just to cut off contact with those who had hurt her. Apart from her master and Aunt Yuan, Ling Yue didn¡¯t even tell senior brother Bai Yang her contact information. However, it had only been a week since she came back, and Zhang Ming came knocking on her door again. Ling Yue gritted her teeth, turned off her phone, and went back to sleep. After a while, the phone screen lit up again. Ling Yue fiercely placed her phone face down on the bedside table and ignored it. Ling Yue fell asleep in a daze. She had a lot of dreams. In her dreams, she was constantly being pestered by Zhang Ming and Wang Na, unable to escape. Her children were gone¡­ taken away by a man! Ling Yue struggled to find her children, but she was stopped by many hands. The children were gone just like that! Ling Yue woke up in shock, frightened to sweat all over. She sat up and picked up her phone. ¡°It¡¯s just 5 o¡¯clock.¡± On the screen of the phone, there were four unread messages and 23 missed calls. Ling Yue put her phone back on the bedside table and walked to the bathroom to take a shower. When she came out of the bathroom, Ling Yue sneezed. ¡°Ah! It looks like I¡¯m really going to catch a cold!¡± Ling Yue couldn¡¯t help but shake her head. Ever since she gave birth to the children, she had almost never been sick. Unexpectedly, the children had only stayed at Auntie Yuan¡¯s home for one day, and she actually caught a cold! Anyway, it was still early, so Ling Yue was prepared to cook herself a sumptuous and nutritious breakfast. Sitting alone at the dining table and eating breakfast, Ling Yue could not help but sigh in her heart, ¡°It¡¯s indeed more lively with more people.¡± Ling Yue was originally an orphan. To her, a home should be a place where many people gathered together. She was not in the mood to eat breakfast. After a few bites, Ling Yue packed her things and prepared to work out. The place where she lived was not far from the clubhouse, so Ling Yue walked in the direction of the clubhouse. The gym was open around the clock. For Ling Yue, it was a good choice. She walked into the gym and exercised on all kinds of equipment and facilities. Ling Yue finally felt better. She looked at the time again. It was almost 9 o¡¯clock. The staff arrived one after another. Ling Yue also went to the changing room to take a shower and change her clothes. Ling Yue had just walked out of the changing room when she met Manager Lin who was hurrying over. ¡°Coach Ling, it¡¯s good that you¡¯re here. I have something to talk to you about,¡± Manager Lin said anxiously. ¡°Okay! Go ahead.¡± Ling Yue combed her freshly dried hair and walked out with Manager Lin. When the two of them arrived at Manager Lin¡¯s office, Manager Lin closed the door. Ling Yue blinked her eyes, not understanding why Manager Lin was so mysterious. ¡°Coach Ling, here¡¯s the thing!¡± Manager Lin hesitated for a moment before continuing, ¡°We have a customer here who wants you to be his personal fitness coach.¡± Seeing that Ling Yue was about to refuse, Manager Lin immediately added, ¡°The pay is three times as much as it is now!¡± ¡°Moreover, as long as the customer doesn¡¯t come, your time is free!¡± Manager Lin added again. Hearing Manager Lin¡¯s words, Ling Yue thought about it. According to the current model, she had to always be active in the gym because she had to play the role of a ¡°Coach¡± if the customer needed her. And if she could have more time to do research after becoming a personal coach, it seemed to be a good choice! Seeing that Ling Yue seemed to be a little shaken, Manager Lin said again, ¡°I also know that your family is more difficult, and it¡¯s hard to raise children.¡± ¡°Look, now I can give you more free time, and your salary has increased so much, isn¡¯t that good?¡± Manager Lin tried his best to persuade her. Ling Yue was finally persuaded and nodded. ¡°Okay! I accept!¡± Manager Lin almost jumped for joy. He wiped the sweat off his forehead happily. ¡°Okay, okay! Then from today on, you can start working!¡± ¡°The contract has been amended. Take a look. If there are no problems, sign it.¡± Manager Lin said and handed over a contract. Ling Yue took a quick look and signed her name on it.. Chapter 16 Translator: Langshare Editor: Langshare ¡°Then wait here for a moment. I¡¯ll take you to meet the client in a few minutes,¡± Manager Lin said and hurriedly put away the contract, afraid that Ling Yue would snatch it away. Ling Yue nodded and didn¡¯t think too much about it. After a while, there was a knock on the door of Manager Lin¡¯s office. ¡°Come in!¡± Manager Lin, who had been nervous all this time, shouted as if he had seen his savior. The person outside the door pushed the door open and came in. It was Yu Rong. ¡°Manager Lin, President Shen has arrived,¡± Yu Rong glanced at Ling Yue and said to Manager Lin. ¡°President Shen?¡± Ling Yue¡¯s eyes widened when she heard this name. ¡°Ah! Coach Ling, come with me. I¡¯ll take you to meet a client.¡± Manager Lin lowered his head with a guilty look and walked past Ling Yue. Ling Yue did not follow him out. Instead, she stood up and looked at Manager Lin. ¡°My exclusive client is President Shen?¡± ¡°Ah! Yes!¡± Manager Lin chuckled. ¡°President Shen named you for his personal coach.¡± ¡°Shen Zhou?¡± Ling Yue raised her eyebrows and glared at Manager Lin. Manager Lin smiled apologetically. ¡°Yes, yes! Our club¡¯s behind-the-scenes boss, President Shen!¡± Ling Yue suddenly showed a solemn expression. After meeting with Shen Zhou last time, Ling Yue had done some research on him. She learned that Shen Zhou was the only son of the Shen family, the No.1 aristocratic family in the capital. In the capital, not to mention the daughter of a wealthy family, every woman would want to cling to Shen Zhou. However, Ling Yue did not want to see this person at this moment! Ling Yue shook her head. ¡°No! I¡¯m not going!¡± She refused without hesitation. Manager Lin was helpless and nervous. ¡°Don¡¯t! Coach Ling, this contract has already been signed.¡± Ling Yue¡¯s expression became even more solemn. ¡°You tricked me into signing it!¡± ¡°I didn¡¯t¡­¡± Manager Lin quickly defended himself. ¡°I just didn¡¯t specify the client¡¯s name.¡± Ling Yue had a lot of complaints about the word ¡°Just¡± said by Manager Lin, but she also blamed herself for signing it without understanding it clearly. ¡°The contract states that if Coach Ling doesn¡¯t become President Shen¡¯s full-time coach, she will lose her job in the club,¡± Manager Lin persuaded. ¡°Coach Ling, no matter what grudges you have with President Shen, you have to think about your children and your life!¡± Manager Lin tried his best to persuade her. Ling Yue pursed her lips. Indeed, she still had a task to complete here. She had already accepted the money. It was indeed inappropriate for her to give up now. Ling Yue gritted her teeth and said, ¡°Okay! Let¡¯s go!¡± Manager Lin finally breathed a sigh of relief and led Ling Yue out. Shen Zhou walked into the gym and saw Ling Yue waiting at the door obediently. Shen Zhou nodded to Manager Lin with satisfaction. He walked up to Ling Yue and stretched out his hand. ¡°Hello, Coach Ling!¡± Ling Yue stared at the hand, gritted her teeth, and stretched out her hand. ¡°Hello, President Shen!¡± Shen Zhou looked Ling Yue up and down and withdrew his hand. ¡°How is it? Coach Ling, do you have any plans for my exercise routine?¡± Shen Zhou asked as he walked to the sports equipment at the side. Ling Yue followed behind him. She silently cursed Shen Zhou and said, ¡°President Shen, do what you like to do!¡± ¡°That won¡¯t do!¡± Shen Zhou turned around and looked at Ling Yue. ¡°Coach Ling, shouldn¡¯t you do it step by step¡­¡± ¡°Do you want to see my physical quality first?¡± Shen Zhou asked as he walked to Ling Yue again. Ling Yue subconsciously stepped back and looked around. She found that not only Manager Lin and Yu Rong had disappeared, but even Han Yue, who was following Shen Zhou, had disappeared. Only the two of them were left in the entire gym! Ling Yue hurriedly took two steps back. ¡°President Shen, you have very good physical quality. Let¡¯s start with basic training!¡± ¡°Coach Ling, do I need to be tested?¡± Shen Zhou asked again. ¡°Do you have an x-ray vision, or¡­ did you remember something?¡± ¡°No! I didn¡¯t remember anything!¡± Ling Yue said self-deceiving words. Then, she wished she could slap herself in the face. The smile on Shen Zhou¡¯s face deepened, and he did not continue to ask. He turned around and touched the fitness equipment beside him. ¡°Why don¡¯t you let me see your strength first?¡± ¡°President Shen doesn¡¯t believe me?¡± Ling Yue raised her eyebrows. ¡°Then why don¡¯t you turn to another coach?¡± Shen Zhou walked toward her again, and a strong pressure hit him. Shen Zhou said again, ¡°No! It can only be you!¡± Chapter 17 Translator: Langshare Editor: Langshare Ling Yue held her head in frustration as she sat on the bench in the lounge. For the entire morning, she was tortured by Shen Zhou until she was about to go crazy. Shen Zhou always looked at her as if he saw his prey, which made Ling Yue inexplicably panic. She could not help but wonder, as the boss of the Shen Business Empire, did he not have to work during the day? Soon, Ling Yue had the answer to her question. From the second day Shen Zhou appeared, for a whole week, Shen Zhou had disappeared without a trace. Ling Yue felt relieved, but at the same time, she could not help but wonder what had happened to him. For a week, Ling Yue had been waiting for Shen Zhou¡¯s call. Gradually, she realized that Shen Zhou would not be coming soon. While Shen Zhou was not around, she began to investigate diligently. ¡°Hurry up to find the clues and get out of here!¡± Ling Yue secretly cheered herself on. The children stayed at Aunt Yuan¡¯s home for a week. Ling Yue really wanted to hurry over and reunite with them. One day, Ling Yue found that a few managers always sneakily gathered on the top floor in the afternoon. Ling Yue secretly followed them twice, but did not find anything. On this day, Ling Yue arrived at the club early in the morning. Seeing that there was no one around, she sneakily went to the top floor. Next to the meeting room on the top floor, there was a small room. The door of that room was always locked. Only a few higher-ups had a key. Ling Yue stood at the door. Seeing that there was no one around, she secretly took out a small iron hook and stuck it into the lock hole. This kind of lock was made up of three lock catches. A normal universal key could not open it. Fortunately, her fifth child, who liked to tinker with something at home every day, gave her this small iron hook that was more useful than a universal key. Ling Yue poked and prodded and finally opened the door after a clicking sound. She gently pushed the door open, and it was pitch black inside. Ling Yue was about to enter when she heard someone talking. Ling Yue was shocked. She wanted to enter the room but was afraid of danger. If she didn¡¯t go in, she was afraid that she would be exposed. Just when Ling Yue was in a dilemma, a figure came from behind Ling Yue. ¡°Is that Coach Ling?¡± A pleasant male voice sounded. Ling Yue¡¯s body stiffened, and she slowly turned her head. It was a man who looked to be in his thirties. He was dressed in sportswear, and looked sunny and kind. Ling Yue searched through her memory, but she couldn¡¯t remember that she had seen such a person before. ¡°You are?¡± Ling Yue asked him. The man reached out his hand and said to Ling Yue, ¡°Hello! My name is Fu Chen.¡± Ling Yue subconsciously reached out her hand and shook it. ¡°Hello! Ling Yue!¡± ¡°What is Coach Ling doing here?¡± The man asked curiously. ¡°Uh¡­ I. . . ¡± Ling Yue was embarrassed and didn¡¯t know how to explain herself. The man seemed to understand Ling Yue¡¯s dilemma and said with a smile, ¡°Coach Ling, are you lost?¡± ¡°Ah! Yes! I¡¯m lost!¡± Ling Yue immediately continued the man¡¯s words. ¡°I was going to¡­ go¡­¡± Ling Yue immediately broke out in a cold sweat for her idiocy. The man did not intend to pursue the matter further. He only smiled and said, ¡°I want to go to the gym for some exercise. Would it be convenient for you to show me the way?¡± ¡°Eh? Oh! Well!¡± Ling Yue replied foolishly. She turned around and led the man towards the gym. The man walked past the door and glanced at the slightly opened door before leaving. After the two of them left, the door slowly closed from the inside. Ling Yue brought the man to the gym. At this time, there were already many people in the gym. Yu Rong saw Fu Chen behind Ling Yue and was shocked. ¡°President Fu, why are you here?¡± ¡°Why? Can¡¯t I come?¡± Fu Chen asked Yu Rong with a smile. Yu Rong immediately smiled. ¡°OK, I take my words back!¡± ¡°Of course you can come! I¡¯ll ask Coach Chu to come for you,¡± Yu Rong said with a smile, turned around and ran away. When Ling Yue heard Coach Chu¡¯s name, a face suddenly appeared in her mind. Just when she was in a daze, a hand suddenly pulled her back fiercely. Ling Yue fell into the man¡¯s arms. She looked up angrily and was about to scold the man for being reckless, but she was shocked by the man¡¯s fierce gaze. Fu Chen also saw the man¡¯s appearance and smiled. ¡°President Shen, you¡¯re in a good mood. You came to the gym in broad day?¡± ¡°Has the problem been solved?¡± Fu Chen raised his eyebrows slightly in a provocative manner. Shen Zhou stared at him, with a solemn face.. Chapter 18 Translator: Langshare Editor: Langshare Ling Yue could feel the displeasure from Shen Zhou. She subconsciously shrank her body, and Shen Zhou hugged her waist even harder. Ling Yue struggled, trying to get rid of Shen Zhou¡¯s restraints. Fu Chen saw this and pouted. ¡°It looks like you¡¯re making Coach Ling uncomfortable!¡± Shen Zhou lowered his head and looked at Ling Yue. Sure enough, he saw her frown. He slowly let go of her hand. Ling Yue immediately took two steps to the side. ¡°He¡¯s a psycho,¡± Ling Yue muttered to herself. At this moment, a figure walked over from afar. A tall and slim woman walked over. Her hair was tied up, which made her look like an efficient person. ¡°President Fu,¡± the woman greeted him briefly. Ling Yue looked at the woman. It was indeed Coach Chu Yao. Yu Rong and the others called her the ¡°Cool Beauty¡±. Seeing Chu Yao, Fu Chen slightly changed his gaze. He said, ¡°Coach Chu, long time no see.¡± Chu Yao nodded and responded. The two did not exchange any more words. They walked, the one behind the other, to the exclusive training room on the other side of the corridor. There were a total of six exclusive training rooms in this gym, which are intended for SVIP guests. Seeing that Ling Yue¡¯s gaze was still following Fu Chen, Shen Zhou grabbed her hand and pulled her to the innermost training room. Shen Zhou walked vigorously, while Ling Yue stumbled behind him. Walking straight into the training room, Ling Yue fiercely shook off Shen Zhou¡¯s hand. ¡°Are you sick?¡± Shen Zhou crossed his arms in front of his chest and stared at Ling Yue from top to bottom without saying a word. Ling Yue saw that Shen Zhou did not speak, so she became even angrier. ¡°Could you please stay away from me when you go out of your mind?¡± Ling Yue became angrier as she said. She did not know what this person was thinking about. Shen Zhou¡¯s gaze darted back and forth between Ling Yue¡¯s slightly red cheeks and her heaving chest. Ling Yue gradually calmed down from her anger. When she looked at Shen Zhou¡¯s gaze, she immediately became alert. Seeing that Ling Yue was about to run away again, Shen Zhou took the lead and stood at the door of the training room. ¡°Coach Ling, we haven¡¯t seen each other for a week. We should start our formal training, right?¡± Shen Zhou calmed his tone and tried not to startle Ling Yue. Ling Yue tried not to be nervous and afraid. ¡°President Shen, I¡¯m afraid you won¡¯t be able to train properly in such a state of idleness!¡± Ling Yue snorted and said. ¡°Coach Ling, are you blaming me for not showing up every day?¡± Shen Zhou said as he took two steps forward. Ling Yue subconsciously stepped back and avoided Shen Zhou¡¯s approach. ¡°I¡¯m just stating the facts. If you really want to train properly, you are not allowed be at this low frequency!¡± Ling Yue said seriously. Shen Zhou slightly raised the corners of his lips. ¡°Then why don¡¯t you arrange a time for me to do training every day?¡± Ling Yue replied, ¡°Okay.¡± ¡°Then let¡¯s start today¡¯s training.¡± Shen Zhou took off his coat and approached Ling Yue again. Ling Yue quickly crossed her arms in front of her chest. ¡°That¡¯s enough! Keep this distance!¡± ¡°Why? Shouldn¡¯t a coach come over to guide me?¡± Shen Zhou said, but he still did not stop. Ling Yue could not help but step back. Finally, she retreated to the side of the wall and said with a trembling voice, ¡°Today, today, you will start with training your arm strength.¡± ¡°Arm strength?¡± As Shen Zhou said this, he grabbed Ling Yue¡¯s waist and brought her to his chest. ¡°Coach Ling, do you think my arm strength is not enough?¡± Shen Zhou asked, facing her small face that was close. Ling Yue¡¯s face instantly turned red. ¡°President Shen, this is sexual harassment in the workplace!¡± ¡°I¡¯m just showing Coach Ling my arm strength,¡± Shen Zhou said as he slowly let go of Ling Yue¡¯s arm. Ling Yue took a deep breath and felt that she had finally come back to life. She adjusted her state of mind and said, ¡°Since you think you have much arm strength, then let¡¯s start with the basic core training.¡± ¡°Okay!¡± Shen Zhou did not refute and obediently lay down on the yoga mat with Ling Yue. Ling Yue pressed her hand on Shen Zhou¡¯s abdomen. She wanted to explain to him the main points of the movements, but only then did she realize that the muscles under her hand were hard and solid. ¡°How is it? Are you satisfied?¡± Shen Zhou gave a half-hearted smile. Ling Yue withdrew her hand and didn¡¯t touched Shen Zhou any more, just explaining the movements. Shen Zhou clearly saw Ling Yue¡¯s ears turn more and more red.. Chapter 19 Translator: Langshare Editor: Langshare Ling Yue ran out of the training room and met Yu Rong, who had just drunk a big bottle of water. Yu Rong was shocked and asked, ¡°Coach Ling, what¡¯s wrong with you?¡± Ling Yue didn¡¯t say anything. She ran into the tea room and gulped down a big bottle of water. Seeing Ling Yue who seemed to have been thirsty for hundreds of years, Yu Rong couldn¡¯t help but guess, ¡°Is it hard to train President Shen?¡± ¡°He doesn¡¯t look like he¡¯s that hard to train¡­¡± Yu Rong frowned. She felt that President Shen should be someone who often worked out. Ling Yue finally used a big bottle of cold water to drive away the heat from her head to her feet. She calmed herself down and smiled at Yu Rong, ¡°I have talked a little much. My mouth felt dry.¡± Yu Rong responded and still looked at Ling Yue suspiciously. Ling Yue sat on the stool and panted secretly. This class was not a physical training class for Shen Zhou! It turned out to be a psychological training class for Ling Yue, because Shen Zhou approached to paw her from time to time¡­ Although Ling Yue kept resisting physically, she did not hate Shen Zhou for approaching her. However, this man was too dangerous! She could not let him get close! Ling Yue calmed herself down and asked Yu Rong, ¡°Who is President Fu?¡± When Yu Rong heard Ling Yue ask about Fu Chen, she immediately put on a smile and said, ¡°President Fu is another major shareholder of our gym.¡± ¡°It can be said that President Fu has been in charge of this gym since it was first built,¡± Yu Rong continued, her face full of admiration. ¡°It¡¯s just that since President Fu got into a car accident three years ago, he hasn¡¯t been coming to the gym often,¡± Yu Rong said with some regret. ¡°What about Coach Chu?¡± Ling Yue couldn¡¯t help but shiver when she thought of Coach Chu who seemed to be cold. ¡°Coach Chu came to our gym when it was first built.¡± Yu Rong¡¯s face was full of joy when she talked about Chu Yao. ¡°Coach Chu wasn¡¯t like this in the past,¡± Yu Rong said with some regret. ¡°At that time, we all thought that Coach Chu and President Fu would become a couple.¡± ¡°Who knew that when President Fu was in a car accident, his fianc¨¦e died by his side.¡± Yu Rong sighed. ¡°At that time, everyone knew that the relationship between Coach Chu and President Fu were not like everyone imagined.¡± Ling Yue frowned while listening to Yu Rong¡¯s words. However, no matter how she looked at it, she felt that there was a strange relationship between the two of them. It did not look simple! In the following few days, Shen Zhou went to the gym every day to ¡°exercise¡±. Ling Yue felt that she was being tortured day by day, and she looked much older. Suddenly, one day, Shen Zhou was lying on the ground. Ling Yue was helping him correct his movements. ¡°I heard¡­ you have children?¡± Shen Zhou asked seemingly unintentionally. Ling Yue¡¯s eyes widened in shock. Her hands slipped and she fell on Shen Zhou¡¯s body. Shen Zhou saw Ling Yue fall and subconsciously held her up. With the tips of their noses against each other and their eyes looking each other, they stayed silent for up to 10 seconds. Ling Yue suddenly reacted and sat to the side. Shen Zhou looked at his hands with some annoyance and cursed in his heart, ¡°How come I have caught her?¡± Ling Yue sat at the side and panted slightly, but her heart began to beat rapidly. Why did he mention the children? Did he know about the children? Did he want to take the children away? A series of questions swirled in Ling Yue¡¯s mind. Shen Zhou looked at Ling Yue¡¯s shrinking back and did not know what she was afraid of. Even though Shen Zhou was shocked when he knew that she had children. But after a week of consideration, Shen Zhou got the right idea. So what if she had children! He liked her as an individual! As for the children, he could also treat them as his own children! Shen Zhou felt that this was the first time in his life that he had thought so thoroughly. Ling Yue was sitting with her legs crossed, full of thoughts. Shen Zhou looked at her quietly from the side. After a long while, Shen Zhou slowly stood up and gently patted Ling Yue¡¯s shoulder. ¡°It¡¯s okay, everything is in the past.¡± Ling Yue¡¯s entire body trembled and subconsciously avoided Shen Zhou¡¯s touch. Shen Zhou thought that Ling Yue had such a reaction because she thought of the child¡¯s father. ¡°That man hurt you?¡± Shen Zhou asked again. ¡°Was it¡­ Zhang Ming?¡± When Ling Yue heard this name, she was a little confused and subconsciously turned to look at Shen Zhou.. Chapter 20 Translator: Langshare Editor: Langshare He asked Han Yue to investigate Ling Yue¡¯s past, but found that only the father of the children was still unknown. Zhang Ming was Ling Yue¡¯s ex-fianc¨¦, but at their wedding, the news of his affair with Ling Yue¡¯s best friend broke out. For a time, rumors about the two spread like wildfire. Zhang Ming did not appear in public for more than half a year. The other female lead of the incident, Wang Na, was said to have been completely discredited after that incident. From then on, her image as a white lotus was ruined, and she became a bitch that everyone despised. Wang Na did not have much of a family background and did not have much ability. She had always relied on Ling Yue and Zhang Ming to survive in the social circle, because she could only rely on others to survive. It was said that since then, Wang Na had become a well-known pampered guest in the upper-class circle. Ling Yue was not concerned about what Zhang Ming and Wang Na had suffered later. At this time, when she heard Zhang Ming¡¯s name, she was also filled with confusion. Did Shen Zhou think that the children were Zhang Ming¡¯s? Ling Yue thought for a moment and suddenly had a good idea! She nodded slightly and did not answer directly. Shen Zhou clenched his fists and cursed Zhang Ming a thousand times in his heart. Ling Yue did not want to talk about the children anymore. She stood up and said, ¡°I¡¯m not feeling well today. Can we stop here?¡± Seeing Ling Yue¡¯s slightly trembling back, Shen Zhou was a little worried about her. ¡°Okay!¡± said Shen Zhou. ¡°Why don¡¯t we take a day off tomorrow?¡± Shen Zhou asked tentatively. Ling Yue was about to answer ¡°Okay¡± when she heard Shen Zhou add, ¡°I¡¯ll take you out for a walk to relax?¡± ¡°No! There¡¯s no need!¡± Ling Yue refused without hesitation. ¡°I think I¡¯ll just rest at home.¡± After Ling Yue said that, she opened the door and walked out without looking back. Shen Zhou sat on the ground and looked at the tightly shut door. He sighed secretly. Ling Yue packed up her things and hurried home. When she lied on the bed, the more she thought about it, the more uneasy she felt. Carrying the things she had prepared for the children, Ling Yue drove another rented car to Auntie Yuan¡¯s farm. When she arrived at the farm, Ling Yue saw a few children playing games around a huge treehouse. The second child was silently sitting at the side of the treehouse with an unknown book in his hand. The fifth child was holding a knife and carving something by the side of the treehouse. Ling Yue had just entered the farm when she was discovered by the sixth child. She shouted excitedly and rushed towards Ling Yue. The other children also saw Ling Yue and rushed over excitedly. Ling Yue felt a strong impact force coming towards her as the children rushed over. Finally, she fell to the ground and rolled on the grass with the children, laughing loudly. After a long time, Ling Yue slowly sat up. The children sat around her, and Ling Yue planted a deep kiss on their foreheads. ¡°Do you miss mom?¡± Ling Yue looked at the children and asked with a smile. The children answered in unison, ¡°Yes!¡± The sixth child snuggled in Ling Yue¡¯s arms and said coquettishly, ¡°I missed you so much!¡± ¡°Mommy, don¡¯t go, Okay?¡± The childish voice came from the sixth child. The third child obediently said from the side, ¡°Granny Yuan said that we can¡¯t tell you that we miss you!¡± ¡°Otherwise, mommy will be very sad when she goes back alone!¡± The third child repeated Aunt Yuan¡¯s words truthfully. Ling Yue smiled and gently stroked the forehead of the third child. She led the children to the main house and saw that Auntie Yuan was already standing at the door, smiling at them. ¡°Auntie Yuan!¡± Ling Yue walked up and gave Auntie Yuan a gentle hug. Auntie Yuan nodded and led the children into the house. She told the children to go back to their rooms to take a bath and rest. Auntie Yuan then pulled Ling Yue to the bedroom and sat down to chat. ¡°I heard that Zhang Ming is asking around for news about you.¡± Auntie Yuan stared at Ling Yue and asked worriedly. ¡°Yes! He contacted me many times for one night.¡± Ling Yue said and showed Auntie Yuan the text message and phone calls. ¡°Yes! It should be Zhang Ming!¡± Auntie Yuan looked at the text messages. ¡°What does he want to do?¡± Auntie Yuan frowned, full of displeasure. ¡°It was clearly him and Wang Na who caused the trouble back then. Now he wants to blame it on you?¡± Auntie Yuan got angrier when she said. ¡°I don¡¯t know what he wants to do.¡± Ling Yue shrugged. ¡°But I don¡¯t want to see this person again!¡± Hearing Ling Yue¡¯s words, Auntie Yuan nodded. ¡°That¡¯s right! Stay away from scum like him!¡± ¡°I have heard that, after that incident, he and Wang Na have had a hard time¡­¡±Auntie Yuan said, raising the corners of her lips slightly. ¡°They deserve it!¡± Ling Yue shook her head. She knew that Auntie Yuan had always felt that it was unfair for her. ¡°They asked for it!¡± Ling Yue said firmly, ¡°I won¡¯t have anything to do with them anymore!¡± Ling Yue said firmly, but things always turned out to backfire¡­. Chapter 21 Translator: Langshare Editor: Langshare After staying on the farm for two days, Ling Yue said goodbye to Auntie Yuan and the children and returned to her home alone. Ever since Shen Zhou mentioned the children to her, Ling Yue was even more certain that she could not let him see the children. It was undeniable that Shen Zhou¡¯s genes were very strong. Four of the six children seemed to be exactly the same as him! Ling Yue walked downstairs and saw a man standing at the door. Ling Yue frowned and walked over. When she walked past the man, the man suddenly stretched out his hand. ¡°Yue?¡± Ling Yue stopped and shook off the man¡¯s hand. She didn¡¯t answer the man and continued to walk inside. The man caught up and grabbed Ling Yue¡¯s arm. ¡°Yue! It¡¯s really you!¡± The man forcefully turned Ling Yue over. Ling Yue narrowed her eyes and looked at the man. ¡°Sir! Who are you?¡± The man paused for a moment before revealing an awkward smile. ¡°Yue, don¡¯t be like this¡­¡± ¡°Like what? Do I know you?¡± Ling Yue asked coldly. ¡°I know I was wrong back then,¡± the man said with a fawning smile on his face. ¡°Can you forgive me?¡± Ling Yue finally turned around and faced the man. ¡°I think you may have misunderstood.¡± ¡°There is no forgiveness between us.¡± Ling Yue looked at the man seriously. ¡°We have nothing to do with each other!¡± ¡°From the moment you were with Wang Na,¡± Ling Yue said, with her gaze fixed on the man¡¯s face. ¡°Zhang Ming, we have nothing to do with each other!¡± ¡°Yue, believe me! My parents like you very much!¡± Zhang Ming said anxiously. ¡°They are all looking forward to me bringing you back!¡± ¡°It¡¯s just that you suddenly left, I¡­¡± Zhang Ming explained anxiously. Ling Yue shook her head and suddenly felt a little funny. ¡°Your parents like me very much? What does that have to do with me?¡± Zhang Ming paused for a moment before saying, ¡°Didn¡¯t you get along well with them?¡± ¡°Zhang Ming, I think you might have misunderstood!¡± Ling Yue let out a sigh, feeling a little helpless. ¡°I got along with them based on the fact that you were once my boyfriend and fianc¨¦.¡± Ling Yue secretly let out a breath. ¡°From that day onwards¡­¡±Ling Yue said each word clearly, ¡°I have nothing to do with you and them!¡± ¡°They have always treated you as their daughter¡­¡± Zhang Ming added. ¡°Daughter?¡± Ling Yue suddenly found it funny, ¡°I think they have enough headaches with you as their son!¡± ¡°I. . .¡± Zhang Ming wanted to say something but was stopped by Ling Yue. ¡°Zhang Ming, I thought you had figured out what happened back then.¡± Ling Yue tried hard to control her emotions and suppressed the urge to beat him up. Zhang Ming obviously did not see through Ling Yue¡¯s emotions. ¡°I think we can¡­ start over?¡± Ling Yue secretly rolled her eyes and said, ¡°It¡¯s impossible! Zhang Ming! I don¡¯t want to have anything to do with you anymore!¡± ¡°Please¡­ stay away from me!¡± Ling Yue tried her best to make her tone sound calm. Zhang Ming grabbed Ling Yue¡¯s shoulders with both hands. ¡°Ling Yue, listen to me!¡± Ling Yue felt a tense emotion in her head, and it finally broke down at this second. Ling Yue secretly said, ¡°You brought this on yourself!¡± Zhang Ming did not hear what Ling Yue said, and his head leaned forward slightly. ¡°What did you say?¡± Ling Yue¡¯s hands went around Zhang Ming¡¯s arms and pulled him inwards, pressing down on Zhang Ming¡¯s body. Before Zhang Ming could react, Ling Yue raised her knee to hit his chin. Zhang Ming cried out in pain and let go of Ling Yue¡¯s hand. Ling Yue kicked Zhang Ming¡¯s lower abdomen. Zhang Ming fell to the ground. Ling Yue clapped her hands and ignored Zhang Ming who was crying out in pain. She turned around and went upstairs. After so many years, she had finally avenged herself. Because the security in the residential area was stricter, Zhang Ming could only watch the glass door close behind Ling Yue. He held his lower abdomen and sat up. He stared at Ling Yue¡¯s back and said, ¡°Ling Yue, just you wait. I will definitely chase you back!¡± Zhang Ming stumbled as he got up and left. He did not notice a black Bentley parked under a tree not far away. ¡°President Shen, Zhang Ming¡­.¡± Han Yue said and turned to look at Shen Zhou, but immediately frightened to say no more when he saw the grave face of Shen Zhou. Chapter 22 Translator: Langshare Editor: Langshare Ling Yue went back home and tidied up a little before giving Auntie Yuan a call. ¡°What? Zhang Ming still has the nerve to see you?¡± Auntie Yuan asked fiercely, ¡°Why did he go to see you?¡± ¡°He seems to¡­want to start over with me,¡± Ling Yue said calmly, without any emotion. ¡°How could he be¡­¡± Auntie Yuan was so angry that she gritted her teeth and said, ¡°so shameless!¡± Ling Yue smiled, knowing that Auntie Yuan was defending her injustice. Ever since she was young, the only person who truly cared about her was only Aunt Yuan! After venting her emotions, Auntie Yuan finally remembered something. ¡°How did Zhang Ming know where you live?¡± Ling Yue didn¡¯t understand this question either. She could only guess. ¡°He must have gotten the news from Bai Yang.¡± ¡°He must have asked someone to find out,¡± Ling Yue said lightly. ¡°Then you have to be careful in the future!¡± Auntie Yuan reminded her worriedly. ¡°But when will your mission be finished?¡± Auntie Yuan asked. ¡°Can¡¯t you come back now?¡± ¡°Besides, the children miss you very much!¡± Aunt Yuan¡¯s voice sounded a little distressed. Ling Yue sighed, ¡°Aunt Yuan, I¡¯ll get things done as soon as possible!¡± ¡°Okay¡­ you have your own ideas. No matter how much I say, it¡¯s useless,¡± said Auntie Yuan helplessly. ¡°Don¡¯t worry! Zhang Ming was taught a lesson by me today. He probably won¡¯t come to find me in the next few days!¡± Ling Yue said and told her about how she beat up Zhang Ming. Auntie Yuan finally relaxed a little when she heard that. Shen Zhou stood below Ling Yue¡¯s building and looked at the lights with a cold gaze. Han Yue stood to the side nervously and looked at Shen Zhou. After a long time, Han Yue finally could not help but say, ¡°President Shen, do you want me to check on that Zhang Ming¡­¡± ¡°No need,¡± Shen Zhou said lightly. Shen Zhou already knew the reason why Zhang Ming came here. But he did not expect Zhang Ming had the nerve to come again! The Zhang family was a distant relative of the Shen family. They relied on the Shen family to gain their current power. Zhang Sen was the only son of the Zhang family, and was now the general manager of the Shen family¡¯s clubhouse. But due to an average ability, Zhang Sen¡¯s position as the general manager was on the verge of collapse. Although Zhang Ming and Zhang Sen were cousins, Zhang Ming had nothing to do with the Shen family. The so-called prosperity of the Zhang family was just owing to a small business done in the name of a relative of the Shen family. At that time, the Shen family began to treat Zhang Ming differently because they heard that he had found a ¡°genius¡± girlfriend. But later, due to the farce at Zhang Ming¡¯s wedding, the Shen family completely excluded Zhang Ming from the appointment list. Zhang Ming¡¯s parents scolded Zhang Ming fiercely and could only urge him to hurry to chase Ling Yue back. Who knew that Ling Yue would disappear just like that? Zhang Ming had been searching for her for the past few years. After learning that Ling Yue had returned, Zhang Ming went to look for her desperately. Shen Zhou looked at the figure standing by the window, but there was confusion in his eyes. ¡°What are you Ling Yue thinking about?¡± Ling Yue opened the window and stood by the window, looking at a little bit of starlight in the endless darkness. ¡°Maybe I should leave as soon as possible.¡± Ling Yue had never felt lonely before. She grew up alone, but she never felt lonely. Even though she was betrayed by Zhang Ming and Wang Na, she didn¡¯t feel lonely. But now, she felt very lonely in heart¡­ ¡­ After a sleepless night, Ling Yue got up and washed up before heading to the clubhouse. Just as she reached the entrance of the clubhouse, she saw a figure that she did not want to see. Ling Yue frowned and quickly walked into the clubhouse. ¡°Yue, listen to me!¡± Zhang Ming walked forward and held Ling Yue¡¯s hand. Ling Yue shook his hand away irritably. ¡°Let go of me!¡± ¡°Yue, I want to have a good talk with you.¡± Zhang Ming blocked Ling Yue¡¯s way. ¡°I have nothing to say to you!¡± Ling Yue gritted her teeth and said, ¡°I¡¯m going to work, please move aside!¡± Zhang Ming still refused to give up and pulled Ling Yue to the side. When the staff of the club saw this scene, they all hid at the side and whispered. Yu Rong rushed to the entrance of the club and was about to enter when she saw a group of people gathered together to watch the show.. Yu Rong also went up to see, but found it was Ling Yue who was grabbed away by a man. Chapter 23 Translator: Langshare Editor: Langshare ¡°Hey! What are you doing?¡± Yu Rong rushed forward and pushed Zhang Ming away. Yu Rong pulled Ling Yue to her side in a domineering manner. She looked particularly valiant. Ling Yue looked at Yu Rong who was half a head shorter than her, and could not help but give her a thumbs up. Yu Rong glared at Zhang Ming fiercely. ¡°Who are you? How dare you look for trouble in front of our clubhouse!¡± Zhang Ming was initially shocked by Yu Rong¡¯s imposing manner. When he reacted, he growled angrily at Yu Rong. ¡°Who are you? Don¡¯t interfere in our private matters!¡± ¡°Private matters?¡± Yu Rong subconsciously turned her head to look at Ling Yue. Ling Yue hurriedly shook her head. Yu Rong then turned her head to glare at Zhang Ming again. ¡°Coach Ling said that it¡¯s not a private matter!¡± Ling Yue looked at Yu Rong¡¯s appearance and immediately felt that she was somewhat cute. Zhang Ming gritted his teeth and glared at Yu Rong. ¡°We are engaged, how can it not be a private matter!¡± ¡°Ah?¡± Yu Rong was even more dumbfounded and looked at Ling Yue again. Ling Yue then took two steps forward. ¡°Zhang Ming! I told you! We have nothing to do with each other!¡± ¡°If you still want to recall those things from the past, I still have evidence in my hands. If you want to see it, I will show it to you!¡± Ling Yue said with a sharp tone. Zhang Ming paused for a moment, then said, ¡°I just want to have a good talk with you.¡± ¡°I don¡¯t want to!¡± Ling Yue firmly refused. The two of them were in a deadlock. It was not until Zhang Sen¡¯s car slowly drove past the entrance of the club that the onlookers dispersed hurriedly. Zhang Sen got out of the car and walked straight to Ling Yue and the others. He glared at Zhang Ming with displeasure. ¡°Follow me!¡± Zhang Ming didn¡¯t dare to refuse and walked past Ling Yue with his head lowered. Yu Rong secretly let out a breath. Obviously, she had been scared out of her wits just now. Ling Yue looked at Yu Rong¡¯s cute appearance and put her hand on her shoulder. She sincerely said, ¡°Thank you!¡± ¡°You¡¯re welcome!¡± Yu Rong patted her chest. ¡°That is what I should do!¡± ¡°But, Coach Ling, why didn¡¯t you beat him up just now?¡± Yu Rong asked, a bit unreconciled. ¡°That man looks like he needs to be beaten up!¡± Yu Rong said with a bit of disgust. Ling Yue shook her head and said, ¡°It¡¯s called Sanda in the training room. It¡¯s a fight outside!¡± ¡°I don¡¯t want to cause trouble for the policemen!¡± Ling Yue said with a smile and pushed Yu Rong into the club. ¡°Alright! Hurry up and go to work! Otherwise, Manager Lin will deduct our wages!¡± Ling Yue said with a smile. ¡°Manager Lin won¡¯t! He¡¯s such a good person!¡± Yu Rong said with certainty. ¡°Well, Manager Lin is a good person! Yu Rong is also a good person!¡± Ling Yue said as she walked into the clubhouse with Yu Rong. For the whole day, anyone that Ling Yue met talked about her behind her back. Although Ling Yue didn¡¯t feel that there was anything wrong with her, she was unable to prevent from talking about her. However, Yu Rong wasn¡¯t as open-minded as she was. ¡°Why are those people so gossipy!¡± Yu Rong snorted unhappily. ¡°Ignore them.¡± Ling Yue smiled and didn¡¯t mind. ¡°Coach Ling, don¡¯t be like that! You¡¯ll be bullied by them!¡± Yu Rong said unhappily. Ling Yue held Yu Rong¡¯s hand and sat down on the sofa at the side. ¡°Don¡¯t be angry! Let¡¯s go eat something delicious later, okay?¡± Yu Rong¡¯s eyes immediately lit up. ¡°Really?¡± Then, her eyes dimmed. ¡°But we haven¡¯t been paid yet¡­¡± ¡°It¡¯s on me!¡± Ling Yue smiled. She always felt that Yu Rong was so cute that she was like a little sister who couldn¡¯t grow up. Yu Rong was full of joy as she started to talk about her favorite food to Ling Yue. While listening, Ling Yue thought about her own thing. This matter related to Zhang Ming couldn¡¯t be left unsolved. She had to think of a way to get rid of Zhang Ming as soon as possible. Zhang Ming left the clubhouse frustratedly. He originally wanted to get Ling Yue back, but he was scolded by Zhang Sen. Zhang Ming secretly spat, ¡°I wonder what¡¯s wrong with Zhang Sen!¡± Zhang Sen, who was usually submissive, became unusually irritable today. He scolded Zhang Ming and said all sorts of nasty words. Zhang Ming did not dare to resist Zhang Sen, so he could only silently endure it. When he left the club, Zhang Ming angrily kicked away a small stone in front of him and finally let out a sigh of relief. On this day, Shen Zhou did not appear.. He only called Ling Yue early in the morning and said that he had some things to deal with and needed to take a three-day leave. Chapter 24 Translator: Langshare Editor: Langshare Ling Yue was happy that Shen Zhou was not around. For two consecutive days, Ling Yue wandered around the club. Since it was known that she was Shen Zhou¡¯s personal coach, the restrictions on Ling Yue inside and outside the club had basically been lifted. Ling Yue wandered around the club. Yu Rong called and asked her to go to the third floor. Feeling puzzled, Ling Yue came to the office area on the third floor. This floor was the workplace for administrative department of the clubhouse. Just as Ling Yue went upstairs, she met Manager Wei who came out of the office. ¡°Coach Ling, I have something to talk to you about.¡± Manager Wei saw Ling Yue and quickly greeted her. Ling Yue pointed at her own nose in confusion. ¡°Talk to me?¡± ¡°Yes!¡± Manager Wei said and waved to Ling Yue. Ling Yue walked over and was pulled into the office by Manager Wei. ¡°Coach Ling, What happened yesterday, do you have anything to explain?¡± Manager Wei went straight to the point. ¡°I have nothing to say.¡± Ling Yue shook her head. Manager Wei replied with an ¡°Oh¡± and said, ¡°It¡¯s like this, the managers let me ask for your opinion¡­¡± ¡°If the club managers feel that that matter has caused a bad influence, I can accept any punishment,¡± Ling Yue said sincerely. Since she was an employee, she had to have at least some self-awareness. Manager Wei quickly waved his hand and said, ¡°The managers let me ask, do you think we should strengthen the security measures?¡± ¡°Ah?¡± Ling Yue was a little surprised, but then she shook her head. ¡°No need! The security of the club is already in place! It was just an accident!¡± What a joke! More security measures? Then it would be more difficult for her to find any clues in the future! Seeing that Ling Yue refused, Manager Wei didn¡¯t think too much about it, so he said, ¡°In that case, if Coach Ling needs it, you can tell me later. I will send more people to protect you.¡± ¡°Ah! No one stopped the incident from happening yesterday! It¡¯s too much!¡± Manager Wei said, full of indignation. Ling Yue was a little confused, but she didn¡¯t ask further. She only said, ¡°It¡¯s good enough for now! I¡¯ll find a way to solve this matter myself!¡± Manager Wei smiled and said, ¡°Because of the damage done to Coach Ling, the management said they want to give you a week¡¯s vacation.¡± ¡°Vacation?¡± Ling Yue was even more confused. ¡°Yes! I think Coach Ling won¡¯t be in a good mood after encountering such a thing,¡± Manager Wei said kindly. ¡°So the higher-ups decided to let you have a rest and come back to work after you have adjusted your mentality,¡± Manager Wei said sincerely. ¡°But I don¡¯t need a vacation!¡± Ling Yue shook her head and refused. ¡°It doesn¡¯t matter. The club will pay you as usual.¡± Manager Wei smiled even more gently. ¡°If you have any problems, just communicate with us in time. We will try our best to help you solve them.¡± Listening to Manager Wei¡¯s words, Ling Yue felt that something was strange. She was escorted out of the office and all the way to the elevator. Ling Yue went downstairs, reported to Manager Lin, and then went home. Suddenly giving her a vacation, Ling Yue didn¡¯t know whether it was related to Zhang Ming¡¯s matter or someone had discovered her identity. Ling Yue went home and lay on the bed. No matter how she thought about it, she felt that something was wrong. Suddenly, her phone rang. Ling Yue looked at the unfamiliar number and hesitated for a moment before picking it up. ¡°Hello? Who is it?¡± The other end did not speak. Ling Yue waited for a moment. Seeing that the other end still did not speak, she prepared to hang up. The next second, the other end suddenly spoke, ¡°Ling Yue.¡± Ling Yue recognized that voice. ¡°Wang Na?¡± Ling Yue¡¯s voice carried a hint of coldness. ¡°It¡¯s me¡­¡± Her voice sounded like she was a little wronged. Ling Yue glanced at the phone and pressed the hang-up button. Not long after, the phone rang again. Ling Yue switched the phone to silent mode and ignored it. Since she was on vacation now, there was no need for her to answer any calls. Auntie Yuan had another number to keep in touch with, so she would just let it be. Ling Yue lay on the bed and soon fell into a deep sleep. Suddenly, there was a heavy knock on the door. Ling Yue woke up from the bed and heard a loud noise outside. Ling Yue pressed on her slightly dizzy head and walked to the door. ¡°Who is it?¡± Ling Yue asked again, but the sound outside suddenly quieted down. After the silence, a man¡¯s voice came from outside the door. ¡°Hello! Is this Miss Ling? I¡¯m the property manager of the Community!¡± ¡°What¡¯s the matter?¡± Ling Yue asked again. She had no intention of opening the door. ¡°Here¡¯s the thing. Your friend was worried that something might happen to you, so he asked us to come over and take a look.¡± The man¡¯s voice sounded very sincere. ¡°Friend?¡± Ling Yue frowned and looked outside through the peephole. It turned out that Wang Na was sobbing while thanking the three or four men beside her. Ling Yue rolled her eyes and said to the door, ¡°I don¡¯t have any friends!¡± ¡°You¡¯ve disturbed my rest! Please get off!¡± Ling Yue said with some annoyance. The men looked at each other and then looked at Wang Na. Chapter 25 Translator: Langshare Editor: Langshare ¡°Ling Yue, it¡¯s me!¡± Wang Na whispered into the door. ¡°Open the door, let me see if you are really okay.¡± Wang Na seemed to be very worried about her. ¡°I¡¯m fine! You guys can go!¡± Ling Yue said, refusing them flatly. ¡°Ling Yue, I¡¯ll leave after I confirm that you are fine¡­ okay¡­¡± Wang Na¡¯s voice sounded like she was begging. The property administrator also echoed, ¡°That¡¯s right! Miss Ling, please open the door! Miss Wang is really worried about you!¡± Worried? Ling Yue sneered. ¡°I can¡¯t confirm your identity, and I don¡¯t know the lady beside you,¡± Ling Yue said coldly. ¡°If you don¡¯t leave now, I¡¯ll go to your company and file a complaint! Then I¡¯ll call the police!¡± Ling Yue said fiercely. The men looked at each other and didn¡¯t dare to annoy Ling Yue again. ¡°Okay! Since Miss Ling said you are fine, then we¡¯ll leave!¡± The property administrator apologized before he was about to leave. ¡°Please take that lady away! She¡¯s not an owner in this residential compounds, right?¡± Ling Yue said again. ¡°Ah! Okay!¡± One of the property administrators replied and reached out his hand to Wang Na. Wang Na¡¯s face was full of grief and indignation as she said to that person, ¡°Is she really okay?¡± ¡°Don¡¯t you need to go in and take a look?¡± Wang Na¡¯s voice sounded very anxious. ¡°Miss Wang, I think Miss Ling should be really okay.¡± That property administrator finally couldn¡¯t bear it in any longer. ¡°Please cooperate with our work.¡± The property administrator said and stopped Wang Na with one hand from approaching Ling Yue¡¯s room again. After everyone had left, Ling Yue returned to the sofa and sat down. She looked straight ahead, her eyes frozen. Speak of the hurt that Zhang Ming had done by the betrayal¡­ It was probably that he had taken away her only friend! Ling Yue had never loved Zhang Ming, so she didn¡¯t give much of her heart. But Wang Na was a friend that she wanted to cherish with all her heart. But Something unexpected occurred¡­ Ling Yue sighed, picked up her phone, and looked at the time¡­ It was six o¡¯clock in the afternoon. Ling Yue thought for a moment, got up, and walked to the window, looking at the tall buildings in the distance. In the past, Ling Yue liked to take Wang Na to the tall buildings in the city, looking at the scenery in the distance. At that time, Ling Yue always said that she would buy a big house on the uppermost floor in the city in the future, and then she could overlook the entire city every day. Wang Na always laughed at her unrealistic dreams. Wang Na¡¯s dream was very simple, that is, to find a reliable man and settle down. But Ling Yue didn¡¯t expect that the reliable man chosen by Wang Na ¡­ would be Zhang Ming! Ling Yue shook her head and shook off the strange thoughts in her mind. She changed into a set of sportswear, grabbed the keys and went out. When she came to the gym, Ling Yue vented all the wild thoughts on the equipment. Many people exercising in the gym were frightened by her imposing manner and didn¡¯t dare to come forward. When Yu Rong was about to get off work, she saw Ling Yue kicking a target in the gym. Yu Rong stood to the side and looked at her, then went forward and said, ¡°Coach¡­ Coach Ling, what¡¯s wrong with you?¡± Ling Yue put down her leg and turned around to look at Yu Rong. With her fierce gaze gradually turning soft, she said with a smile, ¡°It¡¯s nothing. It¡¯s for digestion. So can go to dinner with you later.¡± ¡°Really?¡± Yu Rong showed an excited expression. ¡°Are you off work?¡± Ling Yue asked. ¡°Yeah! Then let¡¯s go!¡± Yu Rong said with a smile, her whole body almost jumping up. Ling Yue nodded and walked out of the gym with Yu Rong. Perhaps she was once young and could not know about the ways of the world. Now she was no longer that silly girl. She already understood many things. Yu Rong chose a small restaurant and assured Ling Yue that it would be delicious. Ling Yue did not have any appetite. To her, eating was just to satisfy her survival needs. Yu Rong took a small plate and placed it in front of Ling Rong. ¡°Coach Ling, the ingredients in this place are definitely not to be missed!¡± Ling Yue thanked Yu Rong and said, ¡°Don¡¯t call me Coach Ling after work.¡± ¡°Then¡­ Sister Yue?¡± Yu Rong asked tentatively. ¡°Sure!¡± Ling Yue smiled and gave Yu Rong a big piece of tender mutton. ¡°Sister Yue, you¡¯re so nice!¡± Yu Rong said with a smile and put the meat into her mouth. Seeing Yu Rong eating contentedly, Ling Yue also smiled happily. ¡°Sister Yue, after you left today, Manager Wei came to the gym,¡± Yu Rong said while eating. Ling Yue looked at Yu Rong and gestured for her to continue. ¡°She came to look for Manager Lin. I happened to pass by the office and heard them talking about you,¡± Yu Rong continued. ¡°They said that the higher-ups had ordered you not to go to the club for the time being,¡± Yu Rong said with a puzzled expression. ¡°I don¡¯t know why they did this¡­ It feels weird¡­¡± The more Yu Rong said, the more confused she became. Ling Yue listened to Yu Rong¡¯s words, fell into deep thought. Chapter 26 - Old Lady Shen Translator: Langshare Editor: Langshare After a meal, Ling Yue learned more about the clubhouse from Yu Rong. Although Yu Rong was young, she was an old employee of the clubhouse. The clubhouse was the Shen family¡¯s property, and Zhang Sen was in charge of it. Originally, the clubhouse¡¯s business only included gyms and some physiotherapy services. After Zhang Sen¡¯s continuous expansion, the hotel business and the investment planning has been included into the business scope. Zhang Sen was also a courageous person. In just three years, he had acquired a few enterprises. Now, with the foundation of the club services, the clubhouse could be considered to have some strength. The reason why Ling Yue came to investigate this time was related to the enterprises acquired by Zhang Sen. Originally, mergers and acquisitions went through a lot of financial procedures. However, the above-mentioned enterprises had to be acquired because they got involved in cases one after another, causing the suspension of the business. Therefore, the person, who was commissioned to conduct investigation, suspected that Zhang Sen had tampered with them. Moreover, among the enterprises that had been acquired, a few of the people in charge and related personnel had disappeared one after another, which became the first thing that the client wanted to find out. Although Ling Yue was not a professional undercover agent, she had also studied psychology and criminal investigation while studying in the UK. This was also why Jiang Fan¡¯s first thought was to ask Ling Yue to investigate it. Based on the information in Ling Yue¡¯s hands, it was still impossible to determine whether Zhang Sen or the clubhouse had anything to do with the missing people and these strange merger cases. So, no matter what, Ling Yue could not leave. Although she was on a vacation, Ling Yue did not return to the farm. She always felt that her every move was being monitored recently. She must ensure her children not to be discovered! Ling Yue came to a nearby coffee shop, bought coffee, and sat by the window. Her gaze swept over the people who were in a hurry. Suddenly, a man came to her and asked, ¡°Miss Ling?¡± Ling Yue raised her head and looked at that man. It was someone she had never seen before¡­ ¡°You are?¡± Ling Yue asked politely. ¡°Please come with me,¡± the man said simply. Ling Yue frowned. ¡°Who are you?¡± The man did not change his expression and continued, ¡°Someone wants to see you.¡± Ling Yue¡¯s expression became serious. ¡°I¡¯m sorry, I don¡¯t know you!¡± The man¡¯s brows moved slightly before he said, ¡°Old Madam Shen asked me to invite you.¡± When Ling Yue heard this, she was even more stunned. Old Madam Shen? Could it be the respected old madam of the Shen family.. Shen Zhou¡¯s grandmother? Ling Yue immediately felt a headache. She knew that she should not have anything to do with Shen Zhou, so she tried her best to avoid him. However, she did not expect that she was targeted by the Shen family! That man stood in front of Ling Yue like a mountain, giving Ling Yue a lot of pressure. Ling Yue raised her head to look at the man and said, ¡°I won¡¯t go to the Shen family. I have nothing to do with the Shen family.¡± ¡°I¡¯m sorry, Miss Ling. If you don¡¯t cooperate, we will have to take action.¡± As the man said that, he stood up and waved at the people behind him. The men went forward and grabbed Ling Yue. Ling Yue struggled with all her might, but the men attacked together. Each of them had some fighting skills. Ling Yue desperately begged for help¡­ but the people around her were silent, as if nothing had happened. In the end, Ling Yue gave up struggling, and was brought into a black business car by a few men. Ling Yue got out of the car, and what entered her eyes was a heavy copper door. The door slowly opened from inside, and a smiling middle-aged man walked out. ¡°You are Miss Ling! The old madam has been waiting for a long time¡­¡± ¡°Please follow me this way¡­¡± The middle-aged man turned his body slightly and gestured for Ling Yue to enter the door. Then, he led the way for her. After passing through a patch of grass, they walked into the main house¡¯s door. ¡°Old Madam, Miss Ling is here,¡± the middle-aged man said to the old man sitting on the sofa. Old Madam Shen turned her head slightly and looked at Ling Yue. ¡°You are Ling Yue?¡± Ling Yue walked forward and said, ¡°Old Madam Shen, you sent someone to capture me. What¡¯s the matter?¡± ¡°Capture?¡± Old Madam Shen raised her eyebrows slightly and looked at the middle-aged man. The middle-aged man quickly said, ¡°I¡¯ll handle it.¡± Old Madam Shen ignored the middle-aged man and only said to Ling Yue, ¡°I sent someone to invite you here because I want to talk to you¡­¡± ¡°It¡¯s about my grandson, Shen Zhou¡­.¡± Old Madam Shen said as she looked Ling Yue up and down. Chapter 27 - A Girl Of Character Translator: Langshare Editor: Langshare Shen Zhou rushed home and saw Old Madam Shen sitting on the sofa, seemingly waiting for him for a long time. Seeing Shen Zhou in a hurry, Old Madam Shen snorted, ¡°Why? Are you worried?¡± Shen Zhou pursed his lips and walked to her, ¡°Grandma, you met Ling Yue today?¡± ¡°Yes! Can¡¯t I?¡± Old Madam Shen looked at her grandson from the corner of her eyes, and her tone was somewhat dissatisfied. Shen Zhou did not say anything. He just turned his head and asked the middle-aged man beside him, ¡°Uncle Lu, is dinner ready for grandma?¡± Uncle Lu quickly took a step forward and said, ¡°Young master, I¡¯ve already instructed them to prepare it.¡± Old Madam Shen glared at Shen Zhou with dissatisfaction. ¡°Every time I talk to you about serious matters, you always try to beat around the bush.¡± Shen Zhou smiled and stood up to help Old Madam Shen up. ¡°Grandma can do whatever you want. How can I dare to say no?¡± Old Madam Shen then patted Shen Zhou¡¯s hand in satisfaction. Then, she smiled and said, ¡°She¡¯s a girl of character!¡± ¡°You¡­¡± Old Madam Shen said and looked at Shen Zhou. ¡°You¡¯ll have to suffer in the future if you are with her!¡± Shen Zhou smiled indifferently. Since he had decided on it, he did not care about anything. ¡°You are always been stubborn since you was young.¡± Old Madam Shen sighed helplessly. ¡°As you wish¡­¡± ¡°I¡¯ve seen her before anyway¡­¡± Old Madam Shen said and waved her hand, signaling for Shen Zhou to let go of her. ¡°You can decide what you want to do next.¡± Old Madam Shen said as she slowly walked towards the dining room. Shen Zhou stood in the same spot alone and watched Old Madam Shen leave. Grandma had acquiesced! Old Madam Shen, who was always picky, had actually acquiesced! And even she was an unmarried mother! Shen Zhou could not help but shake his head. No wonder the outsiders felt that Grandma¡¯s temper was strange and unpredictable. This time, even Shen Zhou himself was a little surprised! He was originally at the company meeting. When he heard that Grandma had asked someone to bring Ling Yue back to the old residence, he rushed over. Who knew that Grandma seemed to be very satisfied with Ling Yue. Shen Zhou finally heaved a sigh of relief. Now, he only needed to get Ling Yue! Shen Zhou walked out of the main house. The expression on his face was a stark contrast to the solemn look he had when he came. When Han Yue saw Shen Zhou walking over with even a slight smile on his face, he could not help but be a little stunned. ¡°President Shen¡­ Old Madam, she¡­¡± ¡°Let¡¯s go!¡± Shen Zhou ignored Han Yue¡¯s question and directly got into the car. Han Yue closed the door and sat in the passenger seat with a frown. On the way, Shen Zhou did not say a word. But Han Yue could clearly feel that Shen Zhou was very relaxed. It seemed that Coach Ling had passed the test by Old Madam Shen! ¡°Awesome!¡± Han Yue secretly gave Ling Yue a thumbs up in his heart. Ling Yue was completely unaware of Han Yue¡¯s admiration for her. She just quietly returned home and sat on the sofa alone, beginning to think. Old Madam Shen was very strange today. Ling Yue kept feeling as if she had seen her somewhere before. Old Madam Shen did not say anything to Ling Yue. She only asked about her relationship with Auntie Yuan. Ling Yue was a little surprised at first, but she thought her relationship with Auntie Yuan was not deliberately kept secret. Old Madam Shen only needed to do a little investigation and she would naturally be able to find out everything. However, did Old Madam Shen know Auntie Yuan? Ling Yue¡¯s mind was filled with confusion, and she couldn¡¯t help but call Auntie Yuan. ¡°You mean the Shen Family?¡± Auntie Yuan was a little surprised. ¡°How did you get in touch with the Shen Family?¡± ¡°Auntie Yuan, just tell me, between you and the Shen family¡­¡± Ling Yue hesitated for a moment before saying, ¡°Is there a grudge?¡± ¡°Grudge?¡± Auntie Yuan suddenly paused and then said, ¡°What are you thinking? Don¡¯t you know what kind of person your Auntie Yuan is?¡± ¡°Yes, yes! Auntie Yuan is a good person! But¡­¡± Ling Yue was still a little worried. ¡°But why did you mention the Shen family all of a sudden?¡± Auntie Yuan asked. ¡°Nothing, today¡­¡±Ling Yue hesitated for a moment and then said, ¡°I happened to meet that old madam Shen.¡± ¡°She didn¡¯t do anything to you, did she?¡± Auntie Yuan asked anxiously. Ling Yue felt that Aunt Yuan¡¯s attitude wasn¡¯t right, but she couldn¡¯t say what was wrong. ¡°No!¡± Ling Yue said affirmatively, ¡°We just happened to bump into each other and didn¡¯t say much.¡± Ling Yue didn¡¯t want to lie to Aunt Yuan, but she didn¡¯t want Auntie Yuan to worry! Auntie Yuan was skeptical.. The two chatted for a while and then hung up the phone. Chapter 28 Translator: Langshare Editor: Langshare Ling Yue felt uneasy, so she wanted to go out and relax. She walked all the way to the central park. Seeing the children in the park, she instantly felt better. ¡°If only I could be as carefree as the children every day,¡± Ling Yue said, with a smile gradually appearing on her face. Ling Yue was immersed in a great sense of happiness when a familiar voice suddenly sounded from behind her. The voice was not spoken to her, but Ling Yue subconsciously turned her body slightly. Ling Yue¡¯s gaze swept over to the source of the voice. It was indeed Wang Na! She saw Wang Na¡¯s hands clinging onto a fat man¡¯s body. Her gaze was filled with affection. ¡°Director Zhao, it¡¯s been a long time since you came to me.¡± ¡°Well, I¡¯m just busy!¡± Director Zhao said cheerfully, with one hand reaching out to Wang Na¡¯s waist. Wang Na didn¡¯t show any resistance. Instead, she gently stroked Director Zhao¡¯s face with one hand. ¡°I miss you so much!¡± Director Zhao said cheerfully, ¡°Tell me, where are we going today?¡± ¡°Ah! Director Zhao, I don¡¯t want to buy anything!¡± Wang Na said sweetly, her tone rising by at least two octaves. ¡°Then you are¡­¡± Director Zhao said as he reached out and touched Wang Na¡¯s perky butt. Wang Na gently patted Director Zhao¡¯s hand, and her face was full of shyness. ¡°I heard that your wife has been on a business trip recently, Director Zhao?¡± Wang Na said with a smile on her face. ¡°Yes! Without that tigress being with me, I¡¯m totally free!¡± Director Zhao smiled brightly. ¡°Yes! That tigress is too fierce!¡± Wang Na smiled seductively. ¡°Ouch! I was so scared last time!¡± Wang Na said and leaned on Director Zhao. Ling Yue couldn¡¯t help but turn her head, not daring to look at the scene again. The unscrupulous flirting words of the two lingered in her ears, and Ling Yue¡¯s whole body trembled uncomfortably. ¡°Let¡¯s go! I¡¯ll take you to have a good meal today! And then¡­¡± Director Zhao said and chuckled. Wang Na didn¡¯t say anything. She just snorted softly. Just like that, the two of them hugged each other and prepared to leave the central park. Suddenly, a child fell down from the bench. Ling Yue had sharp eyes and quick hands. She rushed over and helped the child up. The child wailed loudly. Ling Yue comforted him while looking for the child¡¯s parents. ¡°Ling Yue?¡± Wang Na¡¯s voice came from afar. Ling Yue raised her head slightly and looked at Wang Na. She still snuggled up to the fat and greasy Director Zhao. She looked a little¡­ coquettish. Ling Yue ignored Wang Na and continued to look for the child¡¯s parents. Wang Na frowned unhappily and took another two steps forward. Director Zhao lowered his head and looked at Ling Yue with a hint of surprise in his eyes. He leaned forward slightly. ¡°Wang Na, this is your friend?¡± Wang Na naturally saw through the old lecher Director Zhao¡¯s thoughts. She smiled and said, ¡°My best friend!¡± Ling Yue instantly felt a sense of disgust. She led the child up and was about to leave. The child cried and wailed, looking very pitiful. Director Zhao squatted down and came in front of the child. ¡°Child, don¡¯t cry. I will give you money to buy candies, okay?¡± The child looked at the red banknotes and cried even louder. ¡°I want my mommy!¡± Ling Yue glared at Director Zhao and quickly hugged the child in her arms. The child cried louder and louder. Finally, a woman rushed over with big and small bags of things. ¡°Little dear! Hey, Little dear! Are you okay?¡± The woman threw the things on the ground and hugged the child in her arms. Ling Yue said to the woman, ¡°He fell from the bench just now. There are no abrasions on his body, but you¡¯d better take him to the hospital for a check-up.¡± The woman quickly thanked Ling Yue, then picked up the child with a bunch of things and rushed to the hospital. Director Zhao looked at the woman¡¯s back as she left and shook his head. ¡°Women, once they get married and have children, they become like that.¡± ¡°Yes!¡± Wang Na quickly echoed. ¡°In my opinion, a woman should live for herself all her life!¡± Wang Na smiled and pulled Director Zhao to her side. ¡°Don¡¯t you agree, Director Zhao?¡± Director Zhao patted Wang Na¡¯s face and said with a smile, ¡°Yes! She should live a life like you!¡± ¡°How comfortable it would be to live like this!¡± Director Zhao said as he glanced at Ling Yue. ¡°It seems that your friend is living a good life, too.¡± Director Zhao said, with a suspicious glimmer at the corner of his mouth. Ling Yue glanced at the two of them, then turned to leave. Chapter 29 Translator: Langshare Editor: Langshare ¡°Hey! Miss, don¡¯t go!¡± Director Zhao stepped forward and grabbed Ling Yue¡¯s arm. Ling Yue didn¡¯t even think about it. She swung her hand back and pressed Director Zhao¡¯s wrist down. Director Zhao cried out in pain and directly knelt on the ground. Wang Na also fell to the ground with Director Zhao. ¡°You!¡± Wang Na glared at Ling Yue anxiously. Then, she asked Director Zhao with concern, ¡°Director Zhao, are you okay?¡± Director Zhao grabbed his arm, then stood up and said to Ling Yue, ¡°She¡¯s a hottie! I like her!¡± Ling Yue glanced at Wang Na, then turned to leave again. ¡°Hey! Why are you pretending to be high-hearted?¡± Director Zhao was a little dissatisfied. ¡°Wang Na¡¯s best friend is also selling herself!¡± Director Zhao said fiercely, ¡°Who are you pretending for!¡± Ling Yue stopped and turned to face Wang Na, ¡°I don¡¯t know you, and I don¡¯t know your friend. Please stay away from me!¡± ¡°Otherwise, I can¡¯t guarantee that his hand won¡¯t break next time!¡± Ling Yue warned fiercely. Wang Na grabbed Director Zhao¡¯s arm and looked scared. ¡°Director Zhao, ignore her. She¡¯s always like this!¡± ¡°In the past, when boys chased her, she also chased them away like this!¡± Wang Na said and couldn¡¯t help but laugh. ¡°She¡¯s an old lady that no one wants!¡± ¡°Even her fianc¨¦ was scared away by her!¡± Wang Na continued to add. It was fine if Wang Na didn¡¯t say it, but her words reminded Ling Yue of what happened many years ago. She said to Wang Na with a smile on her face. ¡°If you don¡¯t mention it, I¡¯ve forgotten it. How are you and my fianc¨¦ doing?¡± Hearing Ling Yue¡¯s words, Wang Na¡¯s expression changed slightly. Director Zhao stood at the side, waiting to watch a good show. The battles between women were always the most intense and interesting! ¡°Ling Yue, I think you¡¯ve misunderstood!¡± Wang Na paused and continued, ¡°My relationship with Zhang Ming is over.¡± ¡°Over?¡± Ling Yue¡¯s lips curled into a smile. ¡°I¡¯m afraid his family can¡¯t tolerate you, right?¡± ¡°You!¡± Wang Na was about to get angry when she remembered Director Zhao who was still standing at the side. She then said, ¡°No, it¡¯s really over between us.¡± ¡°It doesn¡¯t matter if the two of you are still together or if it¡¯s over. It has nothing to do with me,¡± Ling Yue said indifferently. ¡°I only hope that the two of you won¡¯t appear in front of me in the future!¡± Just as Ling Yue finished speaking, she heard someone calling her from afar. Ling Yue felt her scalp go numb. ¡°Yue! You¡¯re really here!¡± Zhang Ming ran over from afar hurriedly. Ling Yue and Wang Na turned their heads at the same time and looked at Zhang Ming who was running over. Zhang Ming was a little stunned when he saw that Wang Na was also here. ¡°Why are you here?¡± Zhang Ming questioned Wang Na. ¡°What¡¯s wrong with me being here?¡± Wang Na asked in return. She puffed out her chest and looked very reasonable. Director Zhao looked back and forth at the two of them, and the corner of his mouth revealed a smile as if he was watching a good show. Ling Yue could not help but roll her eyes. She really did not want to have anything to do with these two people. ¡°Yue! Let¡¯s go!¡± Zhang Ming said as he was about to pull Ling Yue¡¯s hand. Ling Yue dodged with cold gaze. ¡°Stay away from me.¡± Wang Na laughed at the side. ¡°You really think you¡¯re someone else¡¯s sweetheart!¡± Wang Na¡¯s words undoubtedly provoked Zhang Ming. Zhang Ming grabbed Ling Yue and was about to leave. ¡°Yue, let¡¯s have a good talk.¡± ¡°I¡¯ll say it again. Let go!¡± Ling Yue growled again. Zhang Ming was still unwilling to give up. He grabbed Ling Yue¡¯s hand and was about to pull her away. Ling Yue finally couldn¡¯t hold it in anymore. She grabbed Zhang Ming¡¯s arm and was about to pull him down. Zhang Ming seemed to have been psychologically prepared. He got close to Ling Yue. Ling Yue frowned even more and stomped hard on the ground. Zhang Ming cried out in pain, but he didn¡¯t let go. Ling Yue was even more furious and slapped him. Zhang Ming was caught off guard and was hit hard. He cried out in pain and covered his face as he took two steps back. Ling Yue clapped her hands and looked at Zhang Ming. ¡°I advise you not to provoke me. Otherwise, I¡¯ll make sure you have no chance to touch a woman again!¡± ¡°You¡­ Don¡¯t do this¡­¡± Zhang Ming begged, ¡°Actually, I just want to have a good talk with you.¡± ¡°No need!¡± Ling Yue left without looking back. Wang Na gloated at Zhang Ming¡¯s defeated look and sneered. ¡°You just showed excessive passion to someone cold!¡± ¡°Don¡¯t give me any fucking nonsense!¡± Zhang Ming roared fiercely and then slapped Wang Na¡¯s face. Wang Na covered her face and looked at Zhang Ming in surprise. Director Zhao stood in front of Wang Na, acting as a protector. ¡°What do you want?¡± Chapter 30 Translator: Langshare Editor: Langshare Wang Na leaned against Director Zhao¡¯s side with a sorrowful look on her face. She looked extremely aggrieved. Director Zhao comforted Wang Na, then turned to Zhang Ming and said sternly, ¡°Who do you think you are? How dare you flaunt your power in front of me!¡± Zhang Ming narrowed his eyes and stared at Wang Na. ¡°I thought you had a lot of abilities, but it turns out that you¡¯ve hooked up with such a person.¡± ¡°Thinking back to when you were with me, wasn¡¯t it for the same reason!¡± Zhang Ming roared angrily at Wang Na. ¡°It¡¯s all because of you that Ling Yue left me!¡± The more Zhang Ming spoke, the angrier he got. He raised his fist and was about to punch Wang Na. Director Zhao naturally wouldn¡¯t let the beauty get hurt in front of him. He step forward, with his fat body in front of Wang Na. Zhang Ming didn¡¯t have any intention of stopping. His fist went straight for Director Zhao¡¯s nose bridge. Director Zhao didn¡¯t have time to dodge, and his nose was bloodied by the hit immediately. He fell to the ground with a thud. He covered his bleeding nose, feeling at lost. Wang Na screamed and squatted on the ground with Director Zhao. She waved her hands helplessly, but she didn¡¯t want to be stained with any blood. Director Zhao sat on the ground and screamed while cursing. ¡°Just you wait!¡± Director Zhao glanced at Zhang Ming, picked up the phone and dialed. Zhang Ming understood. ¡°I don¡¯t want to talk to you.¡± He turned around and left. Wang Na grabbed Zhang Ming. ¡°You just left after hitting him!¡± ¡°Or what?¡± Zhang Ming snorted and looked at Wang Na. ¡°I¡¯ll hit you, too!¡± Wang Na shrunk her neck and hesitated for a moment, but she still grabbed Zhang Ming. ¡°Let me tell you, Director Zhao is the boss of Vios!¡± ¡°If you wound him, you can¡¯t afford it!¡± Wang Na emphasized again. ¡°So what? If you have the ability, let him go to the Shen Family for compensation!¡± Zhang Ming said matter-of-factly. ¡°The Shen Family?¡± Director Zhao slightly tilted his face and looked at Zhang Ming with some surprise, ¡°You¡¯re talking about the Shen family, the number one aristocratic family in the capital?¡± ¡°How is it?¡± Zhang Ming showed proud look as if he was the young master of the Shen family. ¡°Ah! It¡¯s my fault!¡± Director Zhao quickly got up on his hands, ¡°I fell down myself!¡± ¡°It¡¯s none of young master Shen¡¯s business!¡± Director Zhao grinned, and the flesh on his face piled up. ¡°I wonder, which young master of the Shen family are you?¡± Director Zhao said this with an ingratiating smile, looking a little silly. ¡°I¡­¡± Zhang Ming hesitated for a moment and didn¡¯t answer. Wang Na stood to the side, crossed her arms in front of her chest, and smiled, ¡°This young master¡¯s surname is not Shen!¡± ¡°Oh?¡± Director Zhao looked at the two of them with some confusion, ¡°That is¡­¡± ¡°This is Zhang Ming, young master Zhang¡­¡± Wang Na said with a teasing smile on the corner of her mouth, ¡°The Shen family, unrelated relatives!¡± ¡°Uh¡­ this¡­¡± Director Zhao said with subtle change of expression. Zhang Ming stared at Wang Na and sneered, ¡°What the hell are you?¡± ¡°What am I?¡± Wang Na asked back. ¡°Just a woman of loose morals!¡± Zhang Ming snorted, ¡°Look at this fat thing beside you¡­¡± ¡°If I were you, I would feel disgusted!¡± Zhang Ming spat and said. ¡°Ha!¡± Wang Na had a sarcastic smile on the corner of her mouth, ¡°With just you? No one wants you even if you want!¡± ¡°You!¡± Zhang Ming wanted to rush forward to beat Wang Na again, but he was pulled back from behind by two men. ¡°Quick! Hold him down for me!¡± Wang Na shouted anxiously, giving orders to the two men who came after her. The two men glanced at Director Zhao. Seeing that Director Zhao nodded silently, they pressed Zhang Ming to the ground. ¡°Let go of me!¡± Zhang Ming struggled. ¡°I thought you were somebody. You turn out to be just a guy who took advantage of the Shen family¡¯s name.¡± Director Zhao snorted, looking very disdainful. ¡°Exactly! Director Zhao, this kind of person should be given a good beating!¡± Wang Na said fiercely from the side. Director Zhao raised his head and said to the two men, ¡°What are you still standing there for! Didn¡¯t you hear what Miss Wang said?!¡± The two men did not hesitate to give Zhang Ming a beating. Wang Na held Director Zhao¡¯s arm and walked away slowly. Behind her was Zhang Ming¡¯s painful voice mixed with curses. Ling Yue returned home and took a shower first. She cleaned herself up. ¡°I don¡¯t know why I¡¯m so unlucky! I actually ran into those two disgusting things!¡± Ling Yue fiercely rubbed her arm that was grabbed by Zhang Ming. Thinking of the two people appearing in front of her at the same time, Ling Yue only felt waves of nausea. Chapter 31 Translator: Langshare Editor: Langshare Ling Yue¡¯s long vacation was finally over. On the first day back to the gym, Yu Rong had already prepared coffee as a welcome gift. Ling Yue was so happy that she did not see Shen Zhou for a few days, which made her feel much more relaxed. However, because of the holidays, every time she went to the gym, there would be someone ¡°accompanying¡± her, which delayed the progress of many investigations. This time, Ling Yue had to speed up to finish her work as soon as possible so that she could leave with the children! Ling Yue found an opportunity to go up to the third floor. She came to the personnel office and knocked on the door. ¡°Manager Wei, I¡¯m back.¡± Manager Wei was shocked by Ling Yue. She immediately hung up the phone in her hand and said with a smile, ¡°Coach Ling, you¡¯re here.¡± ¡°Manager Wei, I¡¯d like to ask, I heard that we can apply for the lounge upstairs, is that so?¡± Ling Yue¡¯s eyes stared straight at Manager Wei¡¯s guilty face. ¡°Ah, this. As long as the leader approves it, it¡¯s okay,¡± Manager Wei said with a smile. Ling Yue replied with an ¡°Oh¡± and asked, ¡°Which leader will approve it?¡± ¡°Ah¡­ this¡­¡± Manager Wei hesitated for a moment, ¡°Generally President Zhang approves it. Of course, if President Shen approves it, it will be considered a special approval!¡± With the application form in hand, Ling Yue glanced at a row of rest rooms on the top floor. The clubhouse was divided into two buildings on the left and right, and there was an open-air bridge between the two buildings. On the left were the offices, lounges, and meeting rooms for management teams. On the right were the lounges for VIP guests and some of the staff. If Ling Yue wanted to get closer to the top floor, she had to find a suitable opportunity to go upstairs. She had previously applied to be a service staff on the top floor. However, she was rejected by Shen Zhou without hesitation. Before the application was sent to leaders, Manager Lin stuffed a crumpled piece of paper into her hand with a pitiful expression. Since it was impossible to change jobs, if she wanted to go upstairs to the lounge to rest¡­ she was supposed to be approved! Ling Yue¡¯s application was quickly approved. However, the approving person surprised Ling Yue. It was actually President Zhang, whom she had never met before. With this pass, Ling Yue spent her free time staying holed up in the lounge area on the top floor. There were a total of 10 lounges. Except for the two VIP lounges that were independent, the rest rooms were all arranged in the form of a reception room. Ling Yue is permitted to use the reception room but not the VIP rooms. However, this was not important to Ling Yue. Her goal was targeted on the other side of the building. Ling Yue carried a few bags and walked across the top-floor overpass, seemingly unintentionally, towards the other side of the building. Just as she walked to the left side of the building, she met Zhang Sen¡¯s assistant, Qiao Yang. She nodded slightly at Qiao Yang as a greeting. Qiao Yang looked at the bag in Ling Yue¡¯s hand and asked, ¡°Coach Ling, this is¡­¡± Ling Yue smiled and said, ¡°I think these fruits are good. Bring them here and let the leaders have a taste.¡± Qiao Yang smiled and stopped Ling Yue. ¡°Just leave this to me.¡± Ling Yue frowned and looked at Qiao Yang. ¡°What? You don¡¯t even give me a chance to curry favor with the leaders?¡± The smile on Qiao Yang¡¯s face didn¡¯t change. ¡°Coach Ling, you must be joking. I¡¯ll carry such heavy thing.¡± ¡°Why don¡¯t you go to the lounge to rest first, Coach Ling?¡± Qiao Yang said and led the way for Ling Yue. Ling Yue followed behind Qiao Yang, her face full of unwillingness. Almost every time she came up, she would always run into Qiao Yang. She didn¡¯t know if he was the gatekeeper of this floor! Ling Yue was laughing and muttering behind him. Qiao Yang couldn¡¯t hear her clearly, but he could feel Ling Yue¡¯s dissatisfaction. He shook his head secretly. He didn¡¯t want to do like that, but this was an order from the leader. He had to keep an eye on Ling Yue! Qiao Yang didn¡¯t know the reason for this, but since it was Director Zhang¡¯s order, he had to follow it. Ling Yue followed Qiao Yang to the lounge, and the two of them prepared fruits separately. Ling Yue took the opportunity to go to the bathroom, but when she came out of the bathroom, she found Qiao Yang was standing at the door, admiring a green plant. Ling Yue gritted her teeth and squeezed out a smile. ¡°Assistant Qiao, do you like plants?¡± Ling Yue was guarded by Qiao Yang for a week, resulting in no progress of the investigation. On this day, Ling Yue was alone in the lounge, thinking about how to carry out the next step of the plan. The voices of a few women came from outside the door. ¡°If it wasn¡¯t for Wang Na, how could we have come to this floor to rest!¡± A woman¡¯s voice sounded a little excited. ¡°This place is only for VIP guests!¡± Another voice sounded more mature. ¡°I heard that a VIP card here costs at least 50,000 yuan!¡± The other woman sounded very young, but her voice was a little sharper. ¡°It¡¯s good that Wang Na is here!¡± The chattering voices of a few women kept coming.. Ling Yue, who was resting by the window, frowned impatiently. Chapter 32 Translator: Langshare Editor: Langshare A few women walked into the lounge and found a person on the sofa near the bed. Judging from the dressing of the woman with narrowed eyes, it didn¡¯t look like she was here to spend money, but more like she was a staff member. ¡°Hey! Anyone can enter here?¡± The younger woman¡¯s voice sounded a little disdainful. ¡°Lu Lu, don¡¯t be like this.¡± Another mature woman smiled. ¡°She might be doing cleaning here.¡± ¡°Yeah! I think she is simply slacking off!¡± The third woman echoed. ¡°Wang Na, do you want to give Director Zhao a call and ask him if this club is negligent in its management?¡± Lu Lu¡¯s voice sounded again. Wang Na? Director Zhao? An invisible antenna suddenly stood up on Ling Yue¡¯s head. This familiar combination made the greasy scene she saw that day suddenly appear in her mind. Ling Yue turned her head and indeed saw Wang Na standing in front of the three women, staring at her. ¡°Ling Yue, it¡¯s really you!¡± Wang Na sneered. ¡°I didn¡¯t expect to see you here!¡± ¡°What? Wang Na, do you know each other?¡± The girl named Lu Lu spoke again. ¡°We¡¯ve known each other¡­ for many years¡­ we¡¯re best friends!¡± Wang Na smiled, looking a bit sarcastic. ¡°How do you know such a person?¡± Lu Lu said impatiently, ¡°Look at her clothes¡­¡± ¡°Hey! Don¡¯t tell me she really cleans here?¡± Another woman looked at Ling Yue with disdain. The slightly more mature woman¡¯s tone was also full of disdain. ¡°How can you have such a down-and-out friend?¡± ¡°Yeah! It lowers your status!¡± Lu Lu shook her head, detesting Ling Yue on sight. Ling Yue couldn¡¯t be bothered to listen to the chattering of these women. She stood up and prepared to leave from their side. ¡°Ling Yue!¡± Wang Na said, wanting to stop Ling Yue. Ling Yue couldn¡¯t be bothered and walked out. Lu Lu walked forward and pushed Ling Yue¡¯s shoulder. ¡°Wang Na is calling you. Didn¡¯t you hear her!¡± Lu Lu shouted unhappily. ¡°I don¡¯t want to talk to you¡­¡± Ling Yue said and was about to walk away again. The other two women also came forward and blocked Ling Yue¡¯s way. Ling Yue gritted her teeth. ¡°What do you want?¡± ¡°Yue, I just want to have a good chat with you.¡± Wang Na turned around and said to Ling Yue, with an earnest look on her face. ¡°There¡¯s no need!¡± Ling Yue refused without hesitation. Lu Lu pushed Ling Yue¡¯s shoulder. ¡°It¡¯s your honor that Wang Na is willing to talk to you! Don¡¯t be so shameless!¡± Ling Yue frowned slightly and looked at Lu Lu. ¡°If you touch me again, don¡¯t blame me for being rude!¡± ¡°What can you do to me?¡± Lu Lu puffed out her chest and took two steps forward. Ling Yue was about to throw her over her shoulder when she heard a man shout, ¡°Stop!¡± Everyone turned back to look and saw Director Zhao walk in with his belly puffed out. When Wang Na saw Director Zhao, she quickly went forward. ¡°Director Zhao, Look, we¡¯ve bumped into Ling Yue again.¡± ¡°So it¡¯s Miss Ling,¡± Director Zhao said cheerfully, as if he had already forgotten about Ling Yue¡¯s previous violent behavior. Ling Yue didn¡¯t want to bother with them. She only felt that the air in this place was filled with grease and¡­ lust! Ling Yue felt that she was about to vomit. She took a few steps and was about to rush out. Director Zhao gestured to the two men behind him. The two men rushed over and blocked the door. Ling Yue raised her head and looked at the two men with a fierce look in her eyes. ¡°Get out of the way!¡± The two men were unmoved. They thought nothing of Ling Yue. Director Zhao stood behind her and said with a smile, ¡°Miss Ling, I see that your current life seems to be¡­¡± Director Zhao considered his words for a moment before saying, ¡°A little embarrassing.¡± ¡°I really admire you, Miss Ling¡­¡± Director Zhao thought for a while and said, ¡°Hmm¡­ your talent.¡± ¡°How about this, Miss Ling, you follow me from now on¡­¡± Director Zhao said and put his hand on Ling Yue¡¯s shoulder. Ling Yue frowned. After Director Zhao reached out his hands, she grabbed his hands and gave him an overarm throw. Unexpectedly, before Ling Yue could do anything, the two men in front of her were thrown out on the left and the right respectively. Director Zhao¡¯s hand was hanging on Ling Yue¡¯s shoulder, and he was stunned on the spot. In front of Ling Yue, a man appeared with a livid face. ¡°Get your dirty hands off her!¡± The man said coldly. Director Zhao stood there in a daze, not knowing how to move. When the man saw this, he kicked Director Zhao¡¯s shoulder, directly kicking him to the window. Chapter 33 Translator: Langshare Editor: Langshare Seeing Shen Zhou¡¯s angry face, Ling Yue subconsciously shrunk her neck. Shen Zhou did not look at Ling Yue, but stared at Director Zhao who was lying on the ground and could not get up. Han Yue rushed in from the door. He panted heavily and looked at the chaos in front of him. Director Zhao fell to the ground and looked at Shen Zhou in horror. ¡°President¡­ President Shen, why are you here?¡± Shen Zhou ignored Director Zhao¡¯s words and glanced at Ling Yue. Wang Na¡¯s eyes lit up when she saw Shen Zhou. She walked to Shen Zhou¡¯s side with a smile on her face. ¡°President Shen, it¡¯s been a long time!¡± As Wang Na spoke, she put a hand on Shen Zhou¡¯s shoulder. Shen Zhou glared at Wang Na in disgust. Wang Na was shocked and unconsciously withdrew her hand. Seeing this, Lu Lu walked to the other side of Shen Zhou and said with a charming smile, ¡°President Shen, I¡¯m Lu Lu¡­ I¡­¡± Before Lu Lu could finish, Shen Zhou had already walked to Ling Yue. ¡°Are you okay?¡± Ling Yue glanced at Director Zhao and shook her head. From his looks, Director Zhao seemed to be hurt worse. Director Zhao had already been helped up by two men and walked to Shen Zhou. ¡°President Shen, it¡¯s all a misunderstanding, a misunderstanding!¡± ¡°I didn¡¯t know that Miss Ling and you knew each other¡­¡± Director Zhao smiled and apologized. ¡°If I had known, wouldn¡¯t this be¡­ wouldn¡¯t this be¡­ we¡¯re on the same side!¡± Director Zhao smiled and tried his best to flatter him. Shen Zhou didn¡¯t even look at Director Zhao. He said to Han Yue, ¡°Can anyone come in here?¡± Han Yue immediately came to a realization. He extended his hand to Director Zhao and said, ¡°Director Zhao, Please!¡± A few women were watching the scene. Director Zhao, who had always prided himself for being a romantic, could not help but feel a little embarrassed. ¡°President Shen, what do you think?¡± ¡°I¡¯m a VIP here anyway. It shouldn¡¯t be a problem for me to use a lounge, right?¡± Director Zhao stared at Shen Zhou¡¯s face and tried to guess what he was thinking. ¡°Director Zhao, you should follow me out first,¡± Han Yue said as he stepped forward and grabbed Director Zhao¡¯s arm. Director Zhao still wanted to struggle, but when he saw Han Yue¡¯s warning expression, he gave up. Wang Na saw this and was still a little unwilling. ¡°President Shen¡­¡± Before Wang Na could finish speaking, Han Yue had already pulled Wang Na out. This lady had better not provoke President Shen at this time. He had personally seen President Shen rush out of the office just now. And the cause was just that Qiao Yang said that Ling Yue was resting in the lounge, and Director Zhao had also brought people to the lounge. Director Zhao was well known in the circle for being covetous for beautiful women. It turned out he had the audacity to touch the treasure of Ling Yue. He really didn¡¯t plan to continue living in the capital. However, this could not blame Director Zhao. After all, Ling Yue was a charming woman. Han Yue felt sorry for Director Zhao¡¯s future in the capital, but at the same time, he was determined to treat Ling Yue with respect as his ancestor. After all, the example of Director Zhao made Han Yue realize the importance of Ling Yue to Shen Zhou! Han Yue pulled Director Zhao and Wang Na Away, and the two men also left. Although Lu Lu¡¯s face was full of unwillingness, she was also pulled out of the lounge by the other two women. Before long, only Shen Zhou and Ling Yue were left in the lounge. ¡°They¡­ didn¡¯t do anything to you, right?¡± Shen Zhou looked at Ling Yue and saw that she did not seem to be injured. Ling Yue shook her head and prepared to leave. She did not want to be alone with Shen Zhou. She would rather spend less time with him. ¡°Why do you always avoid me?¡± Shen Zhou looked at Ling Yue with dissatisfaction. Ling Yue subconsciously replied, ¡°I didn¡¯t!¡± Shen Zhou frowned and looked at Ling Yue. ¡°During this period of time, I asked you to take a vacation because¡­¡± ¡°It¡¯s Okay!¡± Ling Yue waved her hand, trying to get rid of the uncomfortable feeling in her heart. Shen Zhou had not appeared since she started to take her vacation. Ling Yue did not think much of it at first. It was only when she heard Shen Zhou say this that she felt a little uncomfortable. This person always liked to appear and disappear suddenly. When he appeared, he was so attentive to her, but when he disappeared, he vanished without a trace! His erratic behavior made Ling Yue feel very uncomfortable! She gritted her teeth and gradually suppressed the uncomfortable feeling. She had nothing to do with Shen Zhou, and she would not have any relationship with him in the future! Ling Yue secretly gave herself a warning in her heart. Chapter 34 Translator: Langshare Editor: Langshare Shen Zhou saw Ling Yue¡¯s displeasure and thought that she had been angered by Director Zhao and Wang Na. He held Ling Yue¡¯s hand and said, ¡°Let¡¯s go out for a walk.¡± ¡°Let go of me!¡± Ling Yue did not follow Shen Zhou. Instead, she stared at Shen Zhou who held her hand. Shen Zhou did not catch on. He looked back at Ling Yue and asked, ¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡± ¡°I said, let go of me!¡± Ling Yue frowned. Her eyes were still fixed on Shen Zhou¡¯s hand. Shen Zhou did not listen to Ling Yue¡¯s command. Instead, he held her hand even tighter. Ling Yue immediately pulled Shen Zhou¡¯s hand down. She planned to deal with Shen Zhou the way she dealt with Zhang Ming. However, Shen Zhou had higher agility than Zhang Ming. He nimbly dodged Ling Yue¡¯s attack. Ling Yue was furious. She turned around and wanted to kick Shen Zhou in the stomach. Shen Zhou pressed down on Ling Yue¡¯s foot and pulled her into his arms. Ling Yue was tightly held by Shen Zhou. She could not move at all. She shouted angrily, ¡°Let go of me! Did you hear me? If not¡­¡± As Ling Yue said this, her feet were already prepared to attack Shen Zhou. But Shen Zhou twisted her around. Ling Yue missed the first attack, but it was too late before she could move. Shen Zhou picked up Ling Yue and put her on his back. No matter how Ling Yue struggled and kicked, Shen Zhou had no intention of letting go. Ling Yue shouted angrily, attracting a lot of people from the other side of the top floor. Shen Zhou did not care. He carried Ling Yue to the independent lounge at the back. He pushed the door open and entered the lounge, and then put Ling Yue down. Ling Yue dodged and wanted to rush out of the main door. Shen Zhou scooped Ling Yue¡¯s waist and pushed her against the wall. Ling Yue struggled to leave, but she could not escape Shen Zhou¡¯s grip. ¡°Let¡¯s have a good talk,¡± Shen Zhou said seriously. Ling Yue could not help but roll her eyes. Why was there always someone who wanted to talk to her recently? Ling Yue replied firmly, ¡°There¡¯s no need! We have nothing to talk about!¡± ¡°President Shen, if you don¡¯t arrange a training mission today, I¡¯ll go back first!¡± Ling Yue said as she pushed Shen Zhou away with both hands. Shen Zhou was stunned for a moment. He did not hold on to Ling Yue and just let her leave. Ling Yue¡¯s expression just now was filled with determination. It was the kind of determination that Shen Zhou found hard to shake. He did not know what secret she was hiding in her heart. However, at this moment, he knew that he still had no way to enter her heart. Ling Yue walked out of the independent lounge and took a deep breath. Just now, she had a moment where she wanted to tell Shen Zhou everything. However, she knew that she could not! Once she opened her mouth, she might lose her children forever! This was a consequence that she couldn¡¯t bear! Ling Yue shook her head and let that terrible thought disappear from her mind. She quickly walked out of the club and headed towards the downtown area. She needed to use the noisy environment to calm her mind. Ling Yue walked to the bustling commercial street in the downtown area in one breath. The people walking here in a hurry seemed to have their own thoughts, but it also seemed that everyone was very relaxed and happy. Ling Yue didn¡¯t know when the stone in her heart would disappear. When she walked to the door of a shop, Ling Yue saw a few people inside. She hurriedly turned around and left, afraid that she would cause unnecessary trouble again. Just as Ling Yue turned around, she saw a woman rushing out from inside. ¡°Isn¡¯t this Miss Ling? What a coincidence to meet you here!¡± Lu Lu asked with a hint of mockery in her voice. ¡°Could it be that she was thrown out by President Shen like us?¡± Another woman also laughed. ¡°Sister Yun, you don¡¯t know. I¡¯ve asked around. This woman is now a coach of the gym in the clubhouse,¡± Lu Lu said with a sneer. ¡°I guess President Shen likes this kind of thing, so he looks at this woman in a different way.¡± Lu Lu had a contemptuous smile on her face. Sister Yun stepped forward and looked Ling Yue up and down. ¡°I¡¯m not saying that, but there are a lot of women like her in our imperial city.¡± ¡°That¡¯s not true. I heard that Miss Ling has a child with her!¡± Lu Lu¡¯s smile deepened. ¡°That¡¯s hard enough!¡± Sister Yun echoed. ¡°Miss Ling, come in, come in and take a look!¡± Lu Lu said and grabbed Ling Yue¡¯s hand. ¡°This is a famous private tailor shop in our imperial city. Ordinary people can¡¯t afford the clothes here.¡± ¡°Yes, yes! Miss Ling, come in. Today is Director Zhao¡¯s treat. If you say a few nice words, maybe Director Zhao can buy you a set!¡± Sister Yun also walked to Ling Yue¡¯s side. Lu Lu pulled Ling Yue inside without any explanation.. Ling Yue wanted to shake off Lu Lu¡¯s hand, but Sister Yun grabbed her arm from the other side. Chapter 35 Translator: Langshare Editor: Langshare Just like that, Ling Yue was pulled into the shop by two women. Wang Na, who had just changed her clothes in the shop, was looking at Director Zhao with a charming smile. Director Zhao was sitting on the sofa at the moment, looking angry. Wang Na walked over slowly, swayed her waist, and walked around in front of Director Zhao. ¡°How is it? Director Zhao, does this suit me?¡± Wang Na smiled with expectation. Director Zhao did not look at Wang Na at all. He was still sulking. Wang Na saw Director Zhao¡¯s eyes fluttering. She took a few steps forward and leaned against Director Zhao. ¡°Director Zhao, don¡¯t be angry. What if your body is hurt by anger?¡± Wang Na said as she drew circles on Director Zhao¡¯s chest with one hand. Director Zhao grabbed Wang Na¡¯s hand, put it to his mouth, and kissed her heavily. ¡°That kid surnamed Shen is just relying on the power of the Shen Family!¡± Director Zhao gnashed his teeth and said. ¡°When I have the chance, I must let him know how powerful I, Zhao Shan, am!¡± Director Zhao said fiercely, his eyes revealing a fierce light. Wang Na bashfully leaned on Director Zhao¡¯s shoulder and said with a smile, ¡°I know Director Zhao is the most powerful!¡± ¡°Director Zhao, you can¡¯t abandon me in the future!¡± Wang Na said, her eyes glancing at Director Zhao. Director Zhao reached out and patted Wang Na¡¯s cheek. He smiled and said, ¡°My little baby, how can I bear to abandon you!¡± As he said this, he pulled Wang Na¡¯s face and gave her a heavy kiss. Wang Na let out an ¡°Ouch¡± and stepped back shyly. At this moment, Ling Yue was pulled into the shop by Lu Lu and Sister Yun. ¡°Wang Na, Look who¡¯s here!¡± Lu Lu shouted loudly. Wang Na raised her head slightly and looked back. ¡°Ling Yue?¡± Ling Yue looked at Wang Na helplessly. What kind of bad karma was this recently? Why did she keep running into Wang Na? When Wang Na saw Ling Yue, her expression changed slightly. ¡°What a coincidence!¡± ¡°What? You¡¯re here to buy clothes too?¡± Wang Na looked around Ling Yue. ¡°It¡¯s not your style!¡± Ling Yue looked at Wang Na with a smile. ¡°Your friends invited me here out of kindness!¡± Wang Na ignored Ling Yue¡¯s words and said, ¡°The clothes here¡­ are quite expensive!¡± Ling Yue looked around at the clothes around her and nodded. ¡°Yes! I can see that!¡± This kind of private tailor-made clothing stores always paid attention to customization and exquisite workmanship. The tailor-made clothes have much higher prices than those with common styles on the market. Wang Na smiled and said, ¡°For the sake of the friend¡­¡± ¡°I just come to get a new dress. I¡¯ll give you the previous one, it that okay?¡± Wang Na said, pouting her lips at Ling Yue. ¡°Since we¡¯re about the same height, you should be able to wear it¡­¡± Wang Na said as her expression was full of flaunting. Ling Yue smiled and said, ¡°No¡­ You¡¯re fatter than me¡­¡± ¡°Ah, no, I¡¯m much plumper!¡± As Ling Yue said that, the smile on her face deepened, and the corner of her mouth was about to reach her ears. Wang Na¡¯s eyes instantly widened, but she immediately returned to her previous smile. ¡°I¡¯ve been working very hard to build my body these past few years.¡± As Wang Na said that, she stood up and walked in front of Ling Yue. Ling Yue¡¯s gaze swept over Wang Na¡¯s body. ¡°Indeed, it looks quite expensive!¡± ¡°You!¡± Wang Na was just about to lose her temper, but she forcefully suppressed it. ¡°Are you kidding me? This is the real deal!¡± Ling Yue shrugged noncommittally. ¡°What you said is right! As long as you¡¯re happy!¡± Wang Na was embarrassed by Ling Yue. She could only ask Director Zhao for help aggrievedly. ¡°Director Zhao, please be a judge!¡± Director Zhao walked to Wang Na¡¯s side and put one hand on Wang Na¡¯s butt. He pinched her hard. ¡°Haha, it¡¯s true!¡± Wang Na patted Director Zhao¡¯s body twice before she regained her smile. Director Zhao looked at Ling Yue and narrowed his eyes. ¡°Miss Ling has quite good figure. Why don¡¯t you customize a set of clothes here? I¡¯ll pay for it!¡± Director Zhao¡¯s generosity did not earn Ling Yue¡¯s gratitude at all. Ling Yue took two steps back and said, ¡°It¡¯s fine as long as you guys are happy! I still have something to do, so I gotta go!¡± Behind Ling Yue, Lu Lu and Sister Yun walked forward again, blocking her path of retreat. ¡°Miss Ling, if you enter this place and leave without spending money, you¡¯ll be laughed at!¡± Lu Lu said with a smile. ¡°What? Force me to buy?¡± Ling Yue raised her eyebrows slightly. ¡°Why would I? I just saw that Miss Ling is also interested in the clothes here, so I¡¯m going to recommend them to you.¡± Sister Yun also came forward. For a moment, Ling Yue was surrounded by several people in a circle. Chapter 36 Translator: Langshare Editor: Langshare Looking at the posture of those people, it seemed that if Ling Yue didn¡¯t buy a piece of clothing, she wouldn¡¯t be able to walk out of this shop. At this time, a shop assistant in the shop came up and asked, ¡°Excuse me, Can I help you?¡± ¡°Please get a suitable set of clothes for this lady,¡± Wang Na said to the shop assistant. ¡°But the clothes here¡­¡± the shop assistant said with some embarrassment. Ling Yue¡¯s tightly knitted brows gradually smoothed down. She pushed away Wang Na, who was blocking in front of her, and walked to the sofa booth at the side. ¡°Excuse me, call your manager out,¡± Ling Yue said to the shop assistant. The shop assistant was stunned for a moment. She saw Ling Yue sitting in the sofa booth by herself, and then she said yes. Wang Na and the others looked at Ling Yue¡¯s appearance, and a few people even mocked her. ¡°Miss Ling, are you really planning to spend all your money to buy clothes here?¡± Lu Lu walked in front of Ling Yue and sat down in the opposite booth.. Wang Na walked over, holding on to Director Zhao. When Lu Lu saw Director Zhao, she quickly stood up and offered her seat to him. As soon as Director Zhao sat down, Wang Na and Lu Lu sat beside him on his left and right. When Sister Yun and another woman saw that they had nowhere to go, they sat on the armrests of the sofa on the side. The atmosphere at the scene looked like a five-on-one battle. Ling Yue picked up her phone and dialed a number. ¡°I¡¯m at Lotus. Do you have time to come over?¡± The other end did not know what she said, but Ling Yue only replied with ¡°I want to buy a piece of clothing.¡± and hung up. Wang Na looked at Ling Yue¡¯s appearance and her heart started to beat faster. With Ling Yue¡¯s previous connections, wouldn¡¯t she really find a rich person to buy clothes for her? But Wang Na didn¡¯t dare to say this to Director Zhao, so she could only grit her teeth. The manager quickly came out of the office. When he saw Director Zhao and the others¡¯ attitude, he was a little surprised. This fat Director Zhao always brought a group of women to buy clothes. But looking at the current situation, it was obvious that someone didn¡¯t know how to behave properly! The manager secretly cheered Ling Yue up in his heart before walking to the side of the sofa booth. ¡°May I ask if there is anything that you need me to do?¡± Without waiting for Ling Yue to speak, Lu Lu spoke first. ¡°This young lady wants to buy the clothes here.¡± The manager turned to look at Ling Yue and said apologetically, ¡°I¡¯m sorry, Miss. The clothes here are all custom-made. There are no ready-made clothes for sale!¡± ¡°Yes! I know!¡± Ling Yue nodded and said, ¡°I want that Moon Shadow¡± ¡°Ah?¡± The manager was even more surprised. ¡°How did Miss¡­¡± Then, the manager suddenly understood and looked at Ling Yue with a hint of envy in his eyes. Seeing that Ling Yue and the manager were like playing charades, Director Zhao and the others were a little impatient. ¡°Don¡¯t dawdle! This lady wants that¡­ Moon Shadow, what is that? Just take it out for her!¡± Lu Lu instructed the manager impatiently. ¡°Yes, I¡¯ll take it out right away!¡± The manager said to Ling Yue with a smile. Ling Yue nodded and watched the manager leave quickly. Wang Na looked at Ling Yue with a face full of doubt. She didn¡¯t know what she was up to. After waiting for almost ten minutes, the manager still didn¡¯t come out. Lu Lu complained, ¡°Why is the manager taking so long? It takes him so long to get a dress!¡± Ling Yue still looked indifferent, ignoring everyone¡¯s annoyance. After about ten minutes, the manager appeared in front of everyone, followed by two people dragging a box. The box was a white wooden box engraved with flowers under the moon. It looked very exquisite. The manager walked to Ling Yue and smiled at her. ¡°Miss Ling, here is the Moon Shadow you asked for.¡± Ling Yue stood up and walked to the box. She reached out and opened the box. Inside the box was a crescent-white dress with many layers, and nothing special could be seen. Lu Lu pouted and said disdainfully, ¡°I thought it¡¯s some kind of treasure!¡± ¡°Yeah! It looks very ordinary!¡± Sister Yun echoed. Another woman craned her neck to take a look. ¡°There¡¯s not even a decorative pattern. How can you see through it?¡± The manager ignored their words and only said to Ling Yue, ¡°May I ask if Miss Ling would like to try it on now?¡± ¡°Sure!¡± Ling Yue said and walked into the innermost VIP fitting room pointed by the manager. The manager and two assistants followed her into the fitting room. Chapter 37 Translator: Langshare Editor: Langshare Everyone was waiting outside. After about half an hour, the manager walked out. Wang Na tilted her head to see Ling Yue¡¯s figure, but the VIP fitting room was too hidden. At this moment, a hurried figure rushed in from outside the shop. ¡°Yue is here?¡± The manager saw the person and hurried forward. ¡°Yes! She is changing inside!¡± ¡°Damn it! He didn¡¯t wait for me!¡± The man gritted his teeth and rushed toward the fitting room. ¡°That man¡­¡± Sister Yun looked at the man and found him familiar. ¡°He seems to be the famous designer¡­ What¡¯s his name?¡± Sister Yun seemed to have lost her memory, and she couldn¡¯t remember his name. ¡°Qi Luo!¡± Wang Na said firmly, staring at the figure that disappeared into the VIP fitting room. ¡°Yes, yes! It¡¯s Qi Luo!¡± Sister Yun slapped her forehead, as if she suddenly realized something. ¡°But, hasn¡¯t Qi Luo been living in England? When did he return to China?¡± Lu Lu also remembered this young designer was well-known in the world. ¡°I heard that he came back last month.¡± Sister Yun recalled the news she saw on the Internet. ¡°It was said that he came back to chase for her muse?¡± Sister Yun said with a smile, ¡°Artists like to do such a thing!¡± Wang Na¡¯s face became graver and graver when she heard Sister Yun¡¯s words. Suddenly, under everyone¡¯s astonished gaze, Qi Luo was pushed out of the fitting room. ¡°Hey, Yue!¡± Qi Luo cried out aggrievedly. ¡°Shut up!¡± Ling Yue¡¯s furious roar came from the fitting room. ¡°I am telling the truth, how can you do this¡­¡± With aggrieved look, Qi Luo did not have the demeanor of a master at all. ¡°If you say any more, I¡¯ll tear your mouth apart!¡± Ling Yue¡¯s unrestrained threat came again. Qi Luo immediately shut his mouth. He stood obediently at the door and waited, but no one knew what he was muttering. Finally, the door of the fitting room opened again. Ling Yue walked out from inside. She was dressed in the crescent-white long dress, which made her skin look even fairer. The drooping layered design extended from her chest all the way down to her feet. However, this design still looked very ordinary, and it didn¡¯t make people¡¯s eyes light up. Director Zhao looked at the small piece of fair skin on Ling Yue¡¯s chest and could not help but swallow his saliva. Ling Yue looked at Qi Luo¡¯s pitiful look and reached out a hand to him. Qi Luo seemed to have received an imperial edict. He quickly reached out to take Ling Yue¡¯s hand and gently held it. Ling Yue had a smile on her lips as she walked towards Director Zhao and the others step by step. As she walked, the clothes on her body rippled like the moon in a pond. The ripples highlighted Ling Yue¡¯s graceful figure. Wang Na gritted her teeth and watched Ling Yue walk towards her step by step. Ling Yue walked in front of Wang Na and smiled. ¡°This one seems to be more suitable for my figure than yours!¡± ¡°Of course! I specially designed this!¡± Qi Luo raised his chin proudly, and then added, ¡°But your breasts are really at least two centimeters smaller!¡± Qi Luo¡¯s words were immediately met with a backhand slap from Ling Yue. Qi Luo withdrew his hand and looked at the back of his hand that was red from the slap, blinking his eyes pitifully. Ling Yue rolled her eyes at him and said, ¡°I¡¯ve successfully lost weight!¡± ¡°But¡­ Don¡¯t lose your breasts! Your breasts used to be perfect!¡± Qi Luo immediately protested. Ling Yue resisted the urge to beat Qi Luo up and said to him, ¡°You¡¯d better shut up!¡± Qi Luo immediately made a gesture to seal his mouth and didn¡¯t say anything else. Ling Yue then turned to face Wang Na. Wang Na looked at the interaction between Ling Yue and Qi Luo and gnashed her teeth in hatred. ¡°As you wish, I¡¯ll buy a piece of clothing here. Can I leave now?¡± Ling Yue looked at Wang Na and asked coldly. Wang Na was just about to speak, Qi Luo began to speak. ¡°How can you buy it yourself? I obviously made it for you!¡± Qi Luo said with disapproval. Ling Yue glared at Qi Luo helplessly. ¡°I know! Let us finish talking!¡± Qi Luo turned his head and glared at Wang Na angrily, as if blaming all the mistakes on Wang Na. Wang Na didn¡¯t know what to say after being glared at by Qi Luo. Ling Yue ignored Wang Na¡¯s reaction and only said, ¡°This time, it¡¯s as you wish. It¡¯s just because you took good care of me.¡± ¡°From now on, if we meet again, I won¡¯t consider your feeling!¡± Ling Yue straightened her chest slightly and said solemnly. Chapter 38 Translator: Langshare Editor: Langshare Ever since she knew that she had been betrayed, Ling Yue had always remained some good memory of Wang Na. At least, this was a friend she had sincerely got along with in her life. At that time, her anger and disappointment were mostly due to her expectations of Wang Na. However, after returning to China, Ling Yue had put up with her silently time and time again when meeting across her. She did not want to fall out with Wang Na again. Ling Yue knew that Wang Na had not been living well these years. Ever since that incident, Wang Na had become a laughing stock in the upper-class circles. But Wang Na did not want to give up the chance to survive in this circle, so she kept clinging to one man after another. Men naturally liked Wang Na¡¯s face and figure; as for what she had done in the past, they did not care. After all, no one treated her as a girlfriend or a future wife. Now, it seemed that Wang Na had already gotten used to this kind of life. She didn¡¯t feel down and out, nor did she feel despair. She even felt that this kind of life was very good! Seeing the anger gradually appearing on Wang Na¡¯s face, Ling Yue slightly raised the corners of her lip. ¡°Come on. Let¡¯s go to your office and sit for a while!¡± Ling Yue turned her head and said to Qi Luo. Qi Luo immediately smiled and led the way for Ling Yue. The two of them smiled as they walked to the elevator. The second floor named ¡°Lotus¡± was reserved for exclusive guests and designers. Ordinary people couldn¡¯t go up without an invitation. Seeing Ling Yue and Qi Luo leave together, Lu Lu couldn¡¯t help but gape. ¡°That Ling Yue¡­¡± Lu Lu stretched out a finger and pointed at the disappearing figures of the two of them. ¡°Who is she?¡± The manager, who had been standing at the side, smiled and said, ¡°She is the muse of our special designer!¡± The manager and the two assistants returned to their jobs, and only some dumbfounded audiences were left behind. ¡°Yue, you haven¡¯t contacted me for so many days. I thought you had forgotten me!¡± Qi Luo served Ling Yue a cup of coffee and said discontentedly. ¡°I¡¯ve been busy recently!¡± Ling Yue hated to explain and only smiled. Taking a sip of coffee, Ling Yue smiled. ¡°Your coffee is not bad!¡± ¡°Of course! It¡¯s specially prepared for you!¡± Qi Luo smiled even more happily. ¡°I know you are picky!¡± Ling Yue smiled and put down the coffee cup. ¡°I¡¯m going to change my clothes!¡± ¡°Don¡¯t! Wear it! It looks good on you!¡± Qi Luo held Ling Yue¡¯s hand and stopped her from changing her clothes. Ling Yue looked at the clothes on her body and couldn¡¯t help but smack her tongue. ¡°I say, Designer Qi, your clothes cost at least tens of thousands yuan. I really¡­ can¡¯t afford it!¡± ¡°Did I ask you for money?¡± Qi Luo snorted unhappily. ¡°Besides, how much the clothes cost depends on my mood!¡± Qi Luo tilted his head and looked a little proud. Ling Yue looked at this guy who seemed to a child never growing up, and suddenly thought of the first time they met. Four years ago, Qi Luo was not a famous designer, but just an ordinary student in a design institute. Because the tuition fees for studying in the United Kingdom were all saved by himself, Qi Luo worked hard to earn tuition fees and living expenses when he arrived in the United States. Although Ling Yue did not have a family background, studying abroad was at a public expense, she did not need to worry about her living. The two first met in a coffee shop. At that time, Ling Yue had just found out that she was pregnant and was hesitating whether to continue drinking coffee. As a waiter, Qi Luo seemed to see her hesitation. After asking the reason, he chose a decaf coffee suitable for pregnant women. Then, he made a cute baby pattern on the coffee. Ling Yue liked Qi Luo¡¯s design and creativity very much. The two of them got to know each other very well. During the delivery of Ling Yue, Qi Luo, a man, was busy taking care of the baby. He really helped Ling Yue a lot. After Ling Yue resumed her work, she happened to come into contact with a larger design company in the United Kingdom that was recruiting designers, so she recommended Qi Luo to go for an internship. Qi Luo¡¯s career as a designer had officially begun at that time. For Qi Luo, although Ling Yue was not his key helper in becoming a designer, she was the source of inspiration for all of his design works. Every moment he spent with Ling Yue, he could think of some strange ideas. For Qi Luo, Ling Yue was a part of his life, and he absolutely could not let her go! ¡°Yue, when are we going back to England?¡± Qi Luo asked seriously. ¡°As soon as my work here is done,¡± Ling Yue said with a smile. Qi Luo frowned with some dissatisfaction. ¡°It¡¯s been too long! I want to go back as soon as possible!¡± Qi Luo couldn¡¯t tell the reason, but he still felt uneasy. He agreed to come to Lotus for a special appointment because he wanted to stay here with Ling Yue. However, Ling Yue had disappeared after entering the club, making Qi Luo feel very nervous, as if something had happened before he knew it! Chapter 39 Translator: Langshare Editor: Langshare At Qi Luo¡¯s insistence, Ling Yue left with Qi Luo in the dress named the Moon Shadow. When they arrived at Ling Yue¡¯s house, Qi Luo watched Ling Yue push open the car door and get out. He grabbed Ling Yue¡¯s hand and said reluctantly, ¡°When are you going back to England?¡± Ling Yue patted Qi Luo¡¯s hand as if she was comforting a child. ¡°Very soon!¡± Qi Luo finally let go of her hand in satisfaction. Ling Yue got out of the car, tidied up her clothes, and walked toward the door of the apartment. At this moment, a dark figure stood under a tree not far away, quietly looking at Ling Yue. The moment Ling Yue opened the door of the apartment, her wrist was tightly grabbed by someone. Ling Yue was about to knock the person down with a punch, but she was pushed against the wall first. Ling Yue finally saw who it was and frowned, ¡°Why is it you?¡± Shen Zhou¡¯s face darkened and looked at Ling Yue, ¡°Who is that man?¡± Ling Yue frowned even more, ¡°It¡¯s none of your business!¡± ¡°Who is that man?¡± Shen Zhou questioned coldly again. ¡°Yue!¡± Qi Luo¡¯s voice sounded behind the two, ¡°What happened?¡± Ling Yue turned her head slightly and saw Qi Luo rushing over. Shen Zhou also heard the scream and turned around to glare at Qi Luo. Qi Luo had already driven away, but he saw Ling Yue being attacked in the rearview mirror. He hurried over, afraid that Ling Yue was being bullied. Shen Zhou saw who it was, and then was stunned. Seeing the person who attacked Ling Yue, Qi Luo stood there also in surprise. ¡°President Shen, why are you here?¡± Qi Luo asked first. Ling Yue struggled to get rid of Shen Zhou¡¯s grip. However, Shen Zhou did not intend to let go. Instead, he held Ling Yue¡¯s hand tightly and brought her behind him. ¡°Mr. Qi, what a coincidence.¡± Shen Zhou nodded slightly at Qi Luo. He looked polite and distant. ¡°Yue, what do you do¡­¡± Qi Luo asked, looking at Ling Yue over Shen Zhou¡¯s shoulder. Ling Yue used her hand to twist Shen Zhou¡¯s fingers, but she could not let him go. She poked her head out from Shen Zhou¡¯s side. ¡°Qi Luo, help!¡± Hearing Ling Yue¡¯s cry for help, Shen Zhou¡¯s expression became even colder. He grabbed Ling Yue¡¯s hand even harder. Ling Yue cried out in pain. Seeing this, Qi Luo prepared to go forward to rescue her. However, Shen Zhou¡¯s gaze turned cold as he stared at Qi Luo. Qi Luo subconsciously stopped and was stunned by Shen Zhou¡¯s gaze. In the next moment, Qi Luo secretly scolded himself, ¡°Yue is in danger, how can I back down?¡± ¡°It¡¯s just a terrifying gaze, I¡¯ve seen all kinds of big scenes!¡±, Qi Luo said to himself. Qi Luo¡¯s eyes were bright as he stared at Shen Zhou. ¡°President Shen, I think you should let Yue go first, let¡¯s talk things out.¡± Qi Luo tried to make his voice sound calm. It was not because he was timid, but Shen Zhou¡¯s gaze was really too scary! He had only had this feeling when he saw lions fighting for a mate. Shen Zhou looked at Qi Luo. His face was still grave, but he let go of Ling Yue¡¯s hand. Ling Yue seemed to have been released. She ran out from behind Shen Zhou and directly ran behind Qi Luo. Shen Zhou¡¯s expression became even solemn. Qi Luo stood in place nervously and awkwardly. ¡°Well, why don¡¯t we find a place to talk?¡± Qi Luo kindly suggested, his eyes darting back and forth on Shen Zhou¡¯s face. Ling Yue did not intend to let the two men enter her home, so she did not say a word. Finally, Shen Zhou nodded and took the lead. Ling Yue did not want to ¡°talk¡± with Shen Zhou. She grabbed the corner of Qi Luo¡¯s shirt and said in a low voice, ¡°Get rid of him!¡± Qi Luo spread his hands and looked troubled. ¡°This Buddha, I can¡¯t do with him!¡± ¡°You¡¯d better tell me how you provoked this Buddha first!¡± Qi Luo said with a sigh. Shen Zhou took a few steps forward and found that not only did the two not follow, but also they were whispering behind him. His face became even grimmer . Qi Luo felt that Shen Zhou was staring at him like a knife, as if he was about to die. He grabbed Ling Yue¡¯s hand and said, ¡°Let¡¯s go first! We¡¯ll talk on the way!¡± Ling Yue was unwillingly grabbed by Qi Luo. Shen Zhou¡¯s gaze focused on the hands of the two of them before he turned around and continued to walk to his car. ¡°Get in the car!¡± Shen Zhou walked to the side of the car and said to Ling Yue. ¡°I¡¯ll take Qi Luo¡¯s car!¡± Ling Yue was not willing to compromise at all. Shen Zhou looked at Qi Luo and Qi Luo immediately changed sides. ¡°Let¡¯s go together!¡± Ling Yue shot a glare at Qi Luo again. Qi Luo thought pitifully, ¡°What did I do to get involved in such a thing?¡± Chapter 40 Translator: Langshare Editor: Langshare Qi Luo had always had a good impression of Ling Yue. But that kind of good impression was only limited to the affection between relatives or siblings. As shown in Shen Zhou¡¯s attitude towards Ling Yue, Shen Zhou obviously had a strong sense of possessiveness towards Ling Yue. Qi Luo was curious, how did Ling Yue get related with Shen Zhou? In those years in the UK, Ling Yue had quite a few men pursuing her. However, Ling Yue¡¯s attitude towards men had always been the same ¡ª to stay away from them. Qi Luo had even suspected that Ling Yue was bullied by men, which was why she hated to deal with men. It was an honor for him to be the only man beside Ling Yue! However, looking at Ling Yue¡¯s attitude towards Shen Zhou, she showed very different attitude from before. She did not reject him completely or directly, but¡­ avoided him? Qi Luo did not know what Ling Yue wanted to avoid, but he felt that Ling Yue¡¯s attitude toward Shen Zhou was very different! Han Yue stood beside the Bentley car and opened the car door for Ling Yue. Ling Yue did not walk to the back seat, but directly sat in the passenger seat. Qi Luo stood there and looked at Shen Zhou, not knowing what to do. Shen Zhou did not say anything and quietly sat in the back seat of the car. Qi Luo and Han Yue looked at each other awkwardly for a moment before he got into the back seat of the car from the other side. The car slowly drove away, leaving Han Yue standing there alone ¡­ Shen Zhou instructed the driver to drive the car all the way to the entrance of the clubhouse. The three of them arrived at the independent lounge on the top floor under the watchful eyes of everyone. The news that Ling Yue had embarrassed Wang Na and the others quickly spread to the clubhouse. While everyone in the clubhouse was discussing, when they saw the main character arrive at the clubhouse, all of them kept quiet. Everyone had originally guessed whether the rumors were true or false. However, when they saw the crescent-white dress on Ling Yue¡¯s body, it was obvious that it was the rumored ¡°Moon Shadow¡± that the designer had specially tailored for her. When those persons, who knew Qi Luo, saw Ling Yue and Qi Luo together, they were even more convinced of that rumor. The three of them entered the lounge and stood in three different directions. No one spoke first. Qi Luo looked at this and then looked at that. He was very interested in the relationship between the two of them. Ling Yue gritted her teeth and stood on the spot. She was figuring out various ways to leave this place as soon as possible. Shen Zhou¡¯s gaze was fixed on Ling Yue. His grave eyes was now filled with doubt and anger. When he found out that Qi Luo had specially designed clothes for Ling Yue, the alarm system in his entire body sounded. When he heard that Ling Yue was Qi Luo¡¯s muse, the deep uncertainty in his heart suddenly swept over. He really wanted to talk to Ling Yue face to face. However, when he saw Ling Yue get out of Qi Luo¡¯s car,,wearing the rumored dress, Shen Zhou felt angry. Ling Yue could not bear the feeling of being stared at by Shen Zhou. She turned around and found a seat behind the bar counter. Shen Zhou also slowly walked to the bar counter. Just as Shen Zhou was about to speak, Ling Yue¡¯s phone suddenly rang. Ling Yue picked up the phone and took a look. She picked up the call. ¡°Auntie Yuan, what¡¯s wrong?¡± ¡°The third child suddenly has a high fever. I¡¯m taking him to the hospital now.¡± Auntie Yuan sounded a little anxious. ¡°Is that serious?¡± Ling Yue stood up from her chair. ¡°If you have nothing to do, go back now and see the children. The second child and the fifth child also said that they weren¡¯t feeling well this morning,¡± continued Auntie Yuan. ¡°What?¡± Ling Yue ignored Shen Zhou¡¯s questioning gaze and immediately hung up the phone. She said to Qi Luo, ¡°Send me to Auntie Yuan, Please!¡± Looking at Ling Yue¡¯s anxious look, Qi Luo immediately realized that something must have happened to the children! ¡°Don¡¯t worry, I¡¯ll send you there right away!¡± Qi Luo went forward, patted Ling Yue¡¯s shoulder to comfort her. ¡°Tell me what happened first,¡± Qi Luo asked as he held Ling Yue¡¯s hand and quickly walked out. Shen Zhou grabbed Ling Yue¡¯s shoulder. Before he could speak, Ling Yue angrily shook Shen Zhou¡¯s hand away and shouted, ¡°Let go of me!¡± Shen Zhou was obviously frightened by Ling Yue¡¯s anger, but he immediately said, ¡°Mr. Qi¡¯s car is not here, I¡¯ll send you there!¡± Ling Yue originally did not want Shen Zhou to see the children, but now she had no choice. Ling Yue gritted her teeth and looked at Shen Zhou. ¡°Okay!¡± Shen Zhou immediately ordered the driver to prepare a car. The driver took Shen Zhou and Ling Yue to the farm. This time, Shen Zhou chose to let Qi Luo and Ling Yue sit in the back seat. He looked at Ling Yue¡¯s anxious look through the rearview mirror. He had never seen her look like this.
