One and Only: Doting CEO's Infinite Love

Chapter 564 - 562 Love Burned to Ashes (Part 2)

"Yu Meng, you..."The woman’s eyes were sincere, devoid of any other emotion. Her smile was like the warm sun. Seeing that he didn’t move, she took the initiative to hug him with open arms, then stepped back. "A sibling’s hug."

"Yes." At this moment, Jun Ting quickly returned to reality, swiftly hiding the emotions in his eyes. "Siblings..."

After that, Yuan Yumeng smiled at him again, asked him some questions about Yuan Yuqi, and then returned to her room.

Jun Ting watched the door slowly tighten around his heart, as if something inside wanted to break free. He quickly strode to the bed, took out a pill box from his pocket, and swallowed a pill.

After two or three more minutes, the discomfort finally eased a bit.

Looking at everything outside, a trace of bitterness slowly appeared at the corner of his mouth. Now is not the right time for her to talk about feelings. Brother... is better than being a stranger or a hated person.

About half an hour later, Jun Ting drove out. He felt that some matters were best resolved all at once.

...

Café.

Yuan Yuqi twisted her hands as she sat there, her head lowered. She didn’t dare look at the man sitting opposite her, only hearing the sound of his pen against paper. Before long, a check flew to her, "Here’s five million, consider it my compensation. Don’t come looking for me anymore, even using Ran Ran’s name won’t work."

"...Brother Huo." Yuan Yuqi was stunned, "I don’t want your money, I..."

"Don’t want money?" Jun Ting sneered coldly, "Not wanting money only shows you’re insatiable. Just yesterday, I went to see Ran Ran, and this morning rumors about my illegitimate child are everywhere. Yuan Yuqi, when will you ever learn?"

"I—"

Yuan Yuqi was speechless. She had indeed spread that news on impulse. She desperately wanted to be with him, thinking about the good he had shown her every quiet night, believing no other man would treat her that way again.

"Brother Huo, I’m sorry. I’ll never dare to do it again. It was my fault this time, please don’t ignore me." Yuan Yuqi cried bitterly, "Can you do it for my sister’s sake, please?"

"How dare you mention her!" Jun Ting’s eyes were full of anger, "Yuan Yuqi, you have no right to mention Yu Meng. This is our last meeting. If you are still a daughter, still a mother, realize the responsibilities on your shoulders. Go back and think carefully about the path ahead. Ran Ran will soon grow up and mature. Try being a good mother, set a good example for him. I don’t think it’s difficult, the key is whether you’re willing to do it!"

Yuan Yuqi’s tears fell down, "I..."

The man had lost all patience, stood directly from his seat, and as he stepped away, the sobbing woman behind him suddenly called out, "Brother Huo, are you being so good to my sister now because... you know she’s the little chubby you knew back then?"

"No." The man’s answer was firm, his eyes full of deep emotion, "I love her."

At that time, he was still dating Yuan Yuqi, but every time he saw her, his emotions would be swayed by her, making him believe that feeling was due to dislike.

Only later did he realize that he liked her even then, he just didn’t want to admit it.

Yuan Yuqi clutched the check on the table tightly, suddenly realizing how utterly she had failed, how disgraceful her life had become—

...

A week later, Jun Ting held a press conference. He directly explained that the rumor about an illegitimate child was false and would never happen. His children would only be born by his wife.

In the hall, Yuan Yumeng held a pillow, sitting on the sofa. As Sister-in-law Zhang switched channels, they happened to see the press conference. The man, dressed in an iron-gray suit, sat in the center, seemingly eclipsing everyone else. He was the sole focal point.

The press conference was rather lengthy, and Yuan Yumeng wasn’t sure exactly what he said, but when it came to the topic of the illegitimate child, she inexplicably listened closely—his children would only be born by his wife...

Recently, they had decided to be siblings. If things kept developing like this, did she have to divorce him soon?

Sister-in-law Zhang stood by, smiling, "Madam, you see, what the gentleman said is like a declaration of love to you. From now on, no more crazy women will try to steal the gentleman away."

Yuan Yumeng felt a bit awkward, deliberately looking away, but couldn’t suppress her blushing...

"Sister-in-law Zhang, change the channel."

"Ah! Oh..." Sister-in-law Zhang quickly complied, switching to a different channel, "Madam, the weather is nice today; would you like to go for a walk?"

Yuan Yumeng glanced at the sunshine outside; it seemed quite nice, but she didn’t really feel like going out, just wanted to stay cozy at home.

Just then, she received a message on her phone; she opened it and saw it was from Ye Hao—

"I’m coming to Hong Kong for some business and would like to meet you, if possible?"

Yuan Yumeng: "..."

Ye Hao: "What does the ellipsis mean?"

Yuan Yumeng: "A bit surprised."

Ye Hao: "Is it convenient to meet? If you think I’m bad, feel free to bring a few bodyguards."

Yuan Yumeng: "Uh, that’s not necessary; I just don’t want real life to mix with online life."

Ye Hao: "If our online exchange is good, I wouldn’t mind being friends in real life too."

"..."

Yuan Yumeng looked at the chat record, then at Sister-in-law Zhang beside her, and smiled, "Sister-in-law Zhang, how about we go for a walk together?"

"Sure!" Sister-in-law Zhang was more than willing, "Madam, where would you like to go? To a park or a mall?"

"No, we’re going to meet an online friend," Yuan Yumeng said.

Sister-in-law Zhang: "..."

An online friend?

...

Later, Sister-in-law Zhang’s actions were even more enthusiastic than meeting an online friend herself. She contacted the driver, changed outfits, and an hour later the two arrived at a café in the busiest area of Hong Kong.

The café had a very nice atmosphere, complete with a small bookstore, making it feel particularly pleasant upon entering.

Yuan Yumeng looked around, starting to search for a man in a dark blue coat, wearing glasses, about 185cm tall...

But after searching for a long time, she couldn’t find him.

"Madam, is that online friend trying to fool you?"

Yuan Yumeng frowned, thinking it couldn’t be a trick! They had chatted for a long time already, and Ye Hao’s character was decent.

He probably wouldn’t joke about this.

"Madam, enough, let’s go! Forget about that online friend, let me take you shopping in the mall, buy a couple of new outfits—"

With that, Sister-in-law Zhang started dragging Yuan Yumeng outside, determined not to let her have another "rival in love."

Just then, a person walked over from their left: a well-dressed, elegant-looking man.

"Excuse me, are you ’Wind Blows Without A Trace’?"

The man’s voice was soft, but his presence was serene, instantly piercing a hole in Yuan Yumeng’s heart.

She suddenly froze, feeling as if Ye Zheng had returned.
