That night, Scarlett slept exceptionally soundly.
She had a long, long dream where she married Wang Chao and built a family together. They were inseparable, respectful of each other, and deeply in love.
A year after their marriage, she gave birth to a daughter named Katie. Due to Wang Chao's absent-mindedness, he often neglected their child and was scolded by her.
Whenever she scolded him, Wang Chao would stand by, watching the mother and daughter, chuckling foolishly, claiming to be the happiest man in the world.
To take care of the family, she quit her job as an assassin.
This decision displeased the assassin organization, and they sent assassins to eliminate her.
However, before the assassins could reach their home, Wang Chao had already taken care of them.
To protect her and their daughter, Wang Chao single-handedly eliminated all the assassins in the organization and destroyed any information that could lead to her identity as an assassin, ensuring that nobody could find her.
Since then, their family lived a happy and blissful life.
They traveled to various beautiful places in Baiying Country and even across the world.
Katie grew up day by day, learned to call them mommy and daddy, and her voice was as sweet as Scarlett's. She was even more beautiful than her mother, like a porcelain doll, exceptionally cute when she smiled.
The three of them were incredibly happy.
Then, two years later, she became pregnant again. With some connections, she found out from the doctor that this time it was a boy.
She was overjoyed and immediately shared the news with Wang Chao.
They embraced each other, full of happiness and laughter.
In this way, in her dreams, she and Wang Chao lived a lifetime together.
The next morning, when she woke up, she found herself alone. Wang Chao had already left at some point.
The room was empty and barren.
Looking at this emptiness, she recalled the beauty of her dream and felt a sense of emptiness and loss in her heart.
Dreams, after all, were only dreams.
As Scarlett woke up from her dream, her troubles increased, and her worries grew.
She looked at the blanket covering her and then glanced at the shoes at the foot of the bed, murmuring, "You promised to stay with me for one night, but you didn't even stay with me, Wang Chao, you are truly heartless."
She got out of bed, put on her shoes, and left.
In the kitchen, all the dishes and chopsticks had been cleaned, and the dining table was spotless.
Then, she noticed a note on the table and immediately picked it up to read.
Upon reading it, she was stunned.
The paper contained words written by Wang Chao: "Raindrops patter outside the curtain, spring feelings fade away. The quilt is unable to withstand the cold before dawn. In dreams, I don't know if I'm a guest, indulging in pleasure for a moment. Don't lean on the railing alone, an endless expanse of mountains and rivers, easy to part but difficult to meet again. Flowing water, falling flowers, spring comes and goes, between heaven and earth."
The words were powerful and the strokes were elegant.
"I didn't expect Wang Chao, who is so fierce in battle, to write such beautiful words. I wonder what could possibly trouble him," Scarlett said, smiling slightly.
She muttered to herself, "Using this ancient poem to leave me a message, is it meant to motivate me to let go of the past, cherish the present, and not dwell on the past? But that's not appropriate. My past isn't that significant."
"Ignorance is truly terrifying."
Scarlett looked at these things, smiled, and put away the paper, thinking to herself, "You think it's easy to let go? How foolish!"
She brushed her teeth, washed her face, brewed a cup of coffee, and walked to the balcony. She gazed at the bustling street, her expression calm, with a faint smile on her face.
Forgetting the past was impossible!
For every man in a woman's life, they leave an indelible mark!
After all, as Eileen Chang once said, "The pathway to a woman's soul is through her vagina."
During her relationship with Wang Chao, he had deeply engraved himself in her soul, making it unforgettable.
She realized that she probably wouldn't be able to forget Wang Chao in this lifetime.
With that in mind, she took another sip of coffee, picked up her phone, and made a call, "Book a flight to Baiying Country for me. I want to return home now."
When Wang Chao returned to Shen Bing's hotel, it was already 3 a.m.
He had waited until Scarlett fell asleep, released his hand, and cleaned up the table and washed the dishes before coming back.
However, when he returned, Shen Bing was already asleep.
The next morning, Wang Chao woke up early and prepared breakfast for Shen Bing.
After Shen Bing finished washing up and came out, she saw a sumptuous breakfast on the table.
"Up already? Come, let's eat," Wang Chao greeted.
Shen Bing looked at Wang Chao and reproached him, "Showing excessive concern for no reason, guilty conscience! So, did you go out for an affair last night?"
"What affair?" Wang Chao's expression darkened.
"Last night, you must have met with your former lover, right? Isn't that considered an affair?" Shen Bing smiled, sat down, and said, "But you do not have to feel sorry for me. We're not even in a boyfriend-girlfriend relationship, so you don't owe me anything."
After speaking, she took a bite of the noodles cooked by Wang Chao and praised, "Not bad, your culinary skills are much better than many five-star chefs. Impressive!"
She then started peeling and eating a boiled egg.
Last night, she had already made up her mind.
Wang Chao and Shen Bing were not in a boyfriend-girlfriend relationship, nor were they in a simple superior-subordinate relationship. Shen Bing had no right to interfere with Wang Chao's freedom.
It was only because she had feelings for Wang Chao, possibly even falling in love with him, that she felt jealous and uncomfortable upon hearing about his meeting with another woman.
However, she had come to terms with it overnight.
Being such a formidable man, Wang Chao must have gone through many experiences during his eight years abroad, including having some old lovers. It was absolutely normal.
She had fallen for a man with great charisma and capability, and she had to accept his past.
If she wanted to have a say in Wang Chao's affairs, she would have to wait until they were together.
At present, she had no right to meddle in Wang Chao's personal matters.
She was clear about this point.
Instead of dwelling on Wang Chao's past, it was better to accept it and move forward.
Moreover, now Wang Chao was even guilty and making breakfast for her. She was confident she could win him over.
"Eat more if you like," Wang Chao smiled.
Shen Bing took a small bite of the egg, checked the time, and said, "If you desire to eat, you'd better hurry. We'll be boarding in three hours, and it takes over an hour to get from here to the airport."
Wang Chao nodded.
After finishing breakfast, they packed their belongings, grabbed their suitcases, and headed to the airport by car.
Upon boarding the plane, Wang Chao was surprised to find that Silver Fox and Zhou Xinghe were also on the flight.
"Hmm... these two..." Wang Chao frowned.
He could understand Zhou Xinghe's presence since he had invited him to his home for dinner.
But he couldn't understand why Silver Fox was here.
Silver Fox had already avenged himself, so there was no reason for him to go to Canton City.
However, he did not ask much, just quietly observed.
Over an hour later, Wang Chao and Shen Bing landed at Baiyun Airport.
They took a car and headed straight to the downtown area where Danfeng Group was located.
However, Shen Bing's face was extremely gloomy.
She had just received news that a client she had been negotiating with for a long time was forced away by Shen Dongshan, causing the company to suffer a significant loss. All the shareholders were blaming her for it.
"Shen Dongshan, bastard!" Shen Bing gritted her teeth.
She had been tolerating and compromising repeatedly, but Shen Dongshan repeatedly stood against her.
This time, she was not going to tolerate it anymore!
Wang Chao sat virtually impossible Shen Bing, feeling a sharp pain in his skin and his heart suddenly tightened.
It was a murderous intent!
"President Shen, be careful," Wang Chao uttered in a low voice.
Boom!
Before he could finish his sentence, a truck suddenly rammed into them from the side with incredible force, shattering the glass of the car they're in, and sending the entire vehicle flying.
