uction, but also other punishments."Just deduct three months' salary from her" Lin Tiantian stopped crying and shouted in a sharp voice, "Lan Jie, I don't accept this! She beat me like this, deducting..."Bang!"

Towards Evening gazed at Li Sao's figure leaving her line of sight, slender fingers clenched tightly at the collar, her heart throbbing with intense pain, making her whole body sweat coldly, she couldn't help but let out a muffled groan.

For some reason, she kept feeling like something was about to happen.

Actually... she didn't dare tell Li Sao about the dream she had. It was a dream where He Hanchuan quietly left her, never leaving any trace or word behind!

No matter how she tried to call, using every means possible to contact him.

Kaga Hankawa was like she had vanished from her world, there was no way to call her back!

This feeling terrified her.

It was as if something was about to happen, a hope... that it was just an illusion of hers.

……

Last night, A-Wan hardly slept well. She only felt a little sleepy until the early morning hours, and just as she was about to fall asleep, He Hanchuan called her.

After being woken up, Xiang Wan was originally feeling annoyed, but when she saw that it was He Hanchuan, her sleepiness vanished instantly.

She immediately sat up from the bed, reaching out to grab the receiver and gently placing it beside her ear.

"Hánchuān." Her voice was filled with reluctance, her slender fingers gripping the phone tightly.

"Honey, how did you sleep last night" A seductive voice came from the phone, laced with interest. "Did you miss me"

When she heard his voice, something about it made her feel safe and at ease.

"No way." Xiang Wan deliberately replied, "It's only been a short time since we broke up, I wouldn't miss you, don't be so self-absorbed."

"Oh"

He He Hanchuan's tone was playful, a slight smirk playing on his lips. "It's alright. Though my wife may be heartless, she found a husband who's not bad. I think that's enough."

Yanan couldn't help but chuckle softly, her voice filled with tenderness, "You're just being poor."

"This is called true feelings." He Hanchuan walked to the balcony, reached out and pulled open the curtains, letting the sunlight pour in gently, "Miss Xiang, I really miss you. We just separated for a day, but it feels like forever."

His deep voice was filled with intense affection, gently stirring Xiang Wan's heartstrings.

Towards Evening's brow rose slightly, and there was a hint of suppressed bitterness in her eyes. After a moment, she finally spoke seriously,

"Me too."

"Hanchuan, I miss you very much, but thinking that we'll only be apart for half a year and then meet again, I'm not afraid anymore."

On the phone, He Hanchuan was also silent for a while. His gaze looked at the pedestrians and vehicles bustling below, his voice soft,

"Miss Xiang, what should I do I can't help it. I'm afraid I won't be able to wait until six months before I book a ticket back."

"... "

Although she could usually suppress her emotions, when she heard his words, a sharp ache shot through her nose, and tears began to silently trickle down her cheeks.

Wouldn't she

Since their marriage, the two have been inseparable. Even when He Han occasionally had to go on business trips for a period of time, he wouldn't be gone for too long.

For them, being gone for so long felt like an entire century!

……

After chatting with He Hanchuan for a while, Xiangwan learned that he was doing well abroad. She then felt relieved, packed up her things, and headed towards the company inside.

For a while, she had been busy taking care of He Hanchuan, which delayed her work. As soon as she entered the office, her assistant, Millie, came over with a stack of files in her arms.

Towards the evening, after a long day of work, Yanan opened WeChat and found only one message from He Hanchuan sent at noon.

"Well."

He also took a picture of a nutritious meal, looking colorful and very appetizing.

A slight smile curved the corner of A-Wan's lips as she took out her phone and dialed He Hanchuan's number.

Only a few "di-di" sounds came from the other end, but no one ever answered.

What's going on

Towards Evening leaned back against the chair, her slender fingers combing through her hair, her face etched with anxiety.

Hasn't he finished his psychotherapy yet

Even so, He Hanchuan wouldn't have ignored her calls.

Knock knock!

At this moment, the door to her office was suddenly knocked on. Menglan leaned against the door frame, a gentle smile playing on the corner of her lips. "Mr. Xiang, aren't you leaving work yet The leader is working so hard that we feel ashamed."

Toward the end, she lifted her head and looked at her with a wry smile. “When did you learn to tease people”

"Alright, enough with the teasing," Menglan said, raising an eyebrow playfully. "Don't just stay cooped up at the office all the time. How about we go for a drink tonight"

"You don't need to look at Cheng anymore"

"Let Feng Mu take him away." Meng Lan stretched, raising her hand to rub her stiff neck.

After hearing her words, A-wei closed the computer and picked up her bag from the chair, walking towards the door.

“Well then, since Hanchuan isn’t around now, I have some free time. Going for a drink is just a way to unwind.” Xiang Wan leaned her head against Meng Lan’s shoulder and asked with a smile, “Has your relationship with Feng Mu eased up”

Dream Orchid led her to the elevator, "It's not really a compromise, he is still the child's father after all, and he deserves visitation rights."

If one had to say, she did change, it was a gradual shift in her heart and mind.

Time flies anyway, might as well be happy.

……

Soon, Meng Lan brought Xiang Wan to a bar not far from the company. They arrived at the front desk, and the bartender winked at them.

"This isn't a dream, Sister You finally came back"

Menglan hugged Xiangwan's shoulders tightly and smiled softly at him, "How come, do you know me"

"Of course, who doesn't know you" The bartender propped his chin and chuckled softly. "The owner of Dreamland Inn, back in the day, everyone in Haicheng knew you."

Menglan sighed softly, “Let's not bring up the past.”

"Well, what would you like to drink"

Meng Lan took the menu from his hand, gazed at the dishes listed on it, then raised her hand to check them off one by one before returning it.

While A-Wei was staring at her phone, seemingly waiting for a message. She kept tapping the screen's light and her brows were slightly furrowed.

"What are you thinking about" Menglan walked over and smiled at her, "Is it He Zong's call"

"Yes!"

Moona's fingers clutched her phone tightly, worry etched across her face. "I just called him, but he didn't answer. Based on what I know about him, he wouldn't ignore my calls without a reason."

Maybe he really has something urgent. There's a time difference between here and abroad, so perhaps Mr. He is receiving treatment right now.ent for a swim in that freezing water, it would be suicide.Towards Evening paced around the room, there was no vase, no glass of water, nor anything else that could be used for defense.In the end, she...
