Chapter 9

After that, I secretly had someone investigate Liang Chen and Hu Feier.

I found out that they came from the same place and were childhood friends.

They had been together since their school days.

Later, after starting work, Hu Feier joined the company that Gu Yan and I ran.

As for Liang Chen, his career had always been lukewarm.

The two of them were originally supposed to get married after graduation.

But Hu Feier kept finding excuses to delay it.

In fact, it was simply because she thought Liang Chen lacked ambition and his job wasn’t as good as hers.

Knowing this made it easier for me to adjust my approach when interacting with Liang Chen.

I would always, intentionally or unintentionally, praise him, saying he was outstanding.

As time went by, besides meeting up to talk in person, he started messaging me every day.

He’d share sunsets and clouds, sunny days and rainy ones.

He even sent me long videos of things like ants moving their colony.

But I never replied.

Yet when we met in person, I seemed like a different person-chatting with him wholeheartedly.

Several times, he showed his anxiety and insecurity in front of me.

At the same time, whenever he asked about my husband, I would spare no effort in praising Gu Yan.

Each time, the look on his face was hard to read.

In my interactions with Liang Chen, I always maintained restraint.

But the more I did so, the more he lost control of his feelings.

Several times, when he tried to push things further, I would deliberately dodge and avoid him.

First, because acting is one thing-I couldn’t really let him catch any leverage on me.

Second, it was just disgusting.
