Mu Yao and Lu Jinchen were married for three years, but she had never gotten pregnant. No one in the Lu family had been kind to her.
Lu Qing was full of sarcasm and disgust toward Mu Yao.
However, she got pregnant and gave birth to Little Mango in the year of their divorce.
Little Mango was a beautiful little girl.
She looked exactly like Mu Yao when Mu Yao was a kid. She had big eyes and long eyelashes.
Mu Yao had given her this nickname because Mu Yao loved eating mangoes when Mu Yao was pregnant with her.
Now that she was overseas, her aunt was helping to take care of Little Mango.
City A was the first stop of the Song Group's expansion into the country.
When Song Yufei heard that Mu Yao was from City A, he insisted that she come back with him. Mu Yao didn't want to, but Song Yufei raised her salary.
Hence, Mu Yao decided to come back.
Before Mu Yao went to City A, she told Little Mango that she went to find her father.
That was why Little Mango had been obediently waiting overseas.
"Not yet. Little Mango, have you been nice today?" Mu Yao looked at the chubby little face on the phone, and her heart melted.
"I listen to great-aunt every day. I eat on time and sleep well. "
"You're a good girl."
"Mommy, you have to sleep on time and eat your food. Otherwise, you won't grow tall." Little Mango reminded Mu Yao like an adult.
Mu Yao smiled so hard that her eyes blurred.
"Yaoyao." Aunt poked her head out from behind the phone. "Little Mango will be attending kindergarten in the second half of the year. Have you thought about it? Do you want to attend school in China or here?"
"I'll think about it. Aunty, I'll have to trouble you."
"I'm fine on my side. Yaoyao, if you want Little Mango to return to China, I can come back and help you."
"Thank you, Aunty."
"What happened to your face?" Aunt noticed the red marks on Mu Yao's face.
Mu Yao quickly covered her face with her hair.
"I'm fine, Aunty. I'm not used to the weather, so I'm having an allergic reaction now."
"Mommy, let me see." Little Mango took the screen close to her face. Her face was full of heartache. "Mommy, does it hurt? If it hurts, I'll blow your face."
...
The bus drove to the bus stop at the entrance of the community.
The car door opened, and Mu Yao walked out.
She was still holding her phone in her hand with a doting smile.
The community had been in disrepair for many years, and the words "demolish" were written all over the walls.
There were no security guards at the entrance, and no one was cleaning the place. The ground was covered in fallen leaves.
Lu Jinchen was standing on the fallen leaves. He was wearing a black suit, and his figure was tall and straight.
He just stood there quietly, watching Mu Yao slowly approach.
However, Mu Yao passed by him as if no one was around.
She entered a staircase.
There were no lights in the stairwell. When Mu Yao stepped up, she heard the old wooden stairs creaking.
Soon, Mu Yao reached the end of the stairs, and the window on the second floor lit up.
Lu Jinchen leaned against a pagoda tree. He habitually took out a cigarette from his pocket and lit it.
Amidst the smoke, a pair of dark eyes were staring at the window greedily.
The window was small, and Mu Yao didn't like to move. So, it was hard to catch her figure.
However, Lu Jinchen could imagine her slender figure walking around on the floor barefooted.
She didn't like to wear shoes at home and always walked barefoot.
In the past, he was afraid that she would catch a cold, so he often scolded her while helping her put on her shoes.
Every time this happened, she would laugh and kick him.
"Honey, I don't want to wear shoes!"
"Honey, my feet are itchy, haha! It's itchy!"
"Honey, carry me to the bedroom."
She smiled so brightly, so why did she leave him back then?
Lu Jinchen could not figure it out.
Mu Yao didn't have a heart.
Five years had passed since they started dating and married. Her heart had always been like a rock and had never melted for him.
Lu Jinchen felt a little defeated. He snuffed out the cigarette in his hand and turned to leave.
...
When Mu Yao returned to work the next day, she found out something had happened at Wang Enterprise.
The only son of Wang Enterprise, Wang Shuo, was arrested for prostitution last night, and a lot of "powder" was found in his residence.
After that, Wang Enterprise was done for.
There was one less competitor for the expo project.
As the designer of Song Enterprise, Mu Yao handed in her design drafts at once.
However, she did not expect to meet Bai Zhenkai.
In the office, Song Yufei was reporting Song Group's bidding information to a few leaders from the district.
Mu Yao lowered her head and placed the design drafts on her desk before she prepared to leave.
A familiar voice suddenly came from behind.
"Yaoyao?"
Mu Yao turned around and saw that it was Bai Zhenkai.
