"Oh? Why would I be interested in Yang Corporations' inheritance?" She crossed her arms and leaned back on the chair.
"Then let's have a trade." He folded his hands and placed them on the table.
"What kind of trade?"
"I am pretty much stuck here right now. Since I can't make a move on them, I can only make a trade with you. If you help me, obtain the inheritance, then you will receive 50% of Yang family's inheritance." He set out his offer with a conceited attitude.
"Like I asked before, why would I be interested?"
"Because no matter how hard you try, you won't be accepted by that man's parents. You're considered his senior and unless you get pregnant with his baby, they'll probably not even consider looking at you. This is a fact that you won't be able to deny." Like always, he knew where to strike her the hardest.
"At least that man loves me like someone never had." She mocked.
"Since we can't become lovers, it won't hurt becoming partners. Do you really have confidence in that man? Do you think he would really choose you when he is facing a choice between his father's company and a woman whom he could look for everywhere else? Think about it." The smirk on his face made her worries spread.
"I'll reconsider it." She didn't want to make the same mistake twice by putting her trust in one man. Even though the guy who is currently dating always gave her the attention, she wanted, he was still a man. 'Qiu Rei is right. What if.. his father doesn't acknowledge me even if I do get pregnant? Would I be investing my feelings on the wrong man and end up as a loser again? No! I can't let this happen to me!'
She left the prison with an unsettling feeling. The first thing she did when she got inside of her car was call her boyfriend, Bin Ruo. She left the divorce papers with her lawyer and left separately.
"Please leave your message for-" Her calls went to his voicemail box. The female operator from his voicemail annoyed Gu Wing enough for her to dump her phone against the car seat. 'He must be at a meeting! Right.. Meeting! I'll just stop by his company and ask him if he wants lunch. As his girlfriend, I can do whatever I want.'
When she reached his office, his assistant greeted her politely, "Good afternoon, Miss, may I ask what I can help you with today?"
"I'm here to see your boss, Bin Ruo." She made it sound urgent to mislead the assistant to assist to her need quicker.
"I'm sorry Miss. Mr. Bin stepped out of his office for the day. If you have any urgent matters, you can leave him a message and I will pass it to him when he comes back. He will get back to you as soon as possible." The assistant was slightly annoyed by Gu Wing's attitude. 'Who does she think she is? My Lady Boss? Boss wouldn't be this tasteless.'
"If I could find him, do you think I'll be standing here talking to you? A tiny potato assistant from the countryside? If I find out that he is in there with some woman, you're the first person to get fired. I'll make sure to pull every strand of your smooth wavy hair out of that scalp!" She threatened with her arms crossed, looking ill-mannered.
Gu Wing knew where Bin Ruo's office was located since he brought her to the company after hours to retrieve some documents. She even knew the passcode to his office after peeking over his shoulders. Therefore, when she was told that he wasn't at the office, she ignored the assistant entirely and attempted to barge into his private office.
"Miss! You can't go in there! Mr. Bin is not in the office right now! You can't!" The assistant really wanted to pull Gu Wing's hair and fight her. 'If this witch gets into Mr.Bin's office, I'll get terminated faster than crashing boss' car!'
The assistant ran in front of her and blocked her way, "Miss! Please leave. You have no right to trespass the company's property like this! I've already called security. If you don't leave now, you'll be escorted out. Which one is worst? Leave while you still have pride or get thrown out by two security guards?" She warned her to back off and leave.
Gu Wing smirked and pinched the assistant's chin, "Tsk, tsk, I can't believe a mere small chick like you would dare block my path. Do you know who I am? I am his woman. I am his girlfriend, your future boss. Don't think that just because you are working as his assistant right now, it would give you an opportunity to work up his bed. Scram."
"Sorry ma'am, but you are not allowed to go any further. This is my job and if I let you in, I will be lacking my professionalism. I don't care whether you are Mr. Bin's girlfriend, fiance, or wife. If he is here and tells me that he is willing to see you, then I won't stop you. Since he is not here, please leave or I'll forward your message to him."
"You!" Gu Wing raised her arm and was about to slap the assistant, but the familiar voice coming from behind halted her action. She brushed the assistant's hair gently and smiled, "Oh dear, there was something in your hair just now. I picked it out for you. Since Bin Ruo isn't here, I'll come back for him another time. Thanks."
She turned around and acted surprised when she saw Bin Ruo walking towards her, "Oh! I was about to leave. It must be fate hahahaha." The man smiled charmingly and pecked her on the cheeks after she had circled her arms around his nape.
"What brings you here? I thought you were going to see that Yang guy." He hugged her waist and waved his assistant away.
"I came here just to tell you this! He signed the papers and I'm officially single. Baby, we can be together without anything stopping us now!" She laughed happily and looked towards the assistant's direction with a haughty smirk.
The assistant's mouth was left dangling as she witnessed her boss hugging another woman so intimately. 'How come? It's impossible...'
Meanwhile, nobody caught the trace of revulsion in his narrowed eyes and lowered brows.
