“Miss Tong, as I’ve said, please take care of your fiancé. I’m rather busy, so I won’t keep you company any longer,” Shu Pan stated before getting up and leaving.
Tong Fei watched her walk away, biting her lip. Her hand gripping her handbag was turning white, and internally, she was consumed with anger.
She abruptly stood up and headed out, her graceful posture hiding the fact that she was on the verge of a breakdown.
Starting her car, she drove in the direction of Gu Group.
At Gu Group, everyone knew that Tong Fei was Mr. Gu’s fiancée, so they would greet her when they saw her. Tong Fei relished in the honor this status brought her.
Upon reaching the CEO’s office, Tong Fei knocked and entered. Gu Shaoting was working on something and didn’t immediately notice her.
“Shaoting, are you busy?” Tong Fei was the first to speak.
Gu Shaoting finally looked at her seriously, his dark and sweeping eyelashes revealing a hint of unease.
Tong Fei’s heart raced, feeling somewhat guilty, thinking that Gu Shaoting might know about her visit to Shu Pan.
“Oh, you’re here. Please, take a seat. I also have something to discuss with you,” Gu Shaoting said as he stood up and took a seat opposite her.
“Tong Fei, we’ve been together for a few years now. How do you feel about it?” Gu Shaoting’s mellifluous voice had a noticeable tinge of coldness.
Tong Fei’s heart skipped a beat. She didn’t know what Gu Shaoting wanted to talk about, and her heart raced as she cautiously replied, “Shaoting, what do you want to say?
“Let’s break off the engagement,” Gu Shaoting stated straightforwardly. He felt relieved after saying it.
“I don’t agree,” Tong Fei vehemently opposed. “I don’t want to break off the engagement. Please, Shaoting, don’t be so cruel to me.”
“Tong Fei, during the time we’ve been together, you must have noticed that our relationship has always been quite plain. I haven’t been able to develop feelings for anyone else, and I’ve always felt indifferent. But now, I have a daughter with Shu Pan, and I want to provide her with a complete family.”
“When we get married, I’ll treat the child as my own, and we can also give her a warm home. Or have you discovered that you’ve fallen in love with Shu Pan and you’re looking for reasons to break up with me?”
Tong Fei’s concern for Gu Shaoting had reached an almost obsessive and irrational level.
“Tong Fei, it’s a waste of time for both of us to continue like this. Why make things difficult? I’m sorry for what I’ve done to you. If you have any requests, feel free to ask, and I’ll do my best to fulfill them, minimizing the damage.”
“I don’t want anything. I just want you, Shaoting. I’ll listen to you from now on and won’t do anything you don’t like. Can you please not mention breaking off the engagement again?” Tong Fei pleaded.
She couldn’t break off the engagement with Gu Shaoting, or she would become the subject of ridicule in high society, and her job would be affected. Now she carried the title of Gu Shaoting’s fiancée on her shoulders, and many people were giving her extra credit for that. Her work was coming in constantly. If they broke off the engagement… she really didn’t dare to think about the consequences.
“Tong Fei…” Gu Shaoting wanted to snap her out of it. He felt that she had fallen into a pathological state.
“Breaking off the engagement would be good for you too. You can find someone who loves you and takes good care of you. You’re a good girl, and if you face any difficulties in the future, I’ll help you. Your job won’t be affected either,” Gu Shaoting also understood her concerns..
