The Whole Internet is Shipping Me with My Ex-Boyfriend

Chapter 670 - 3: This Man Will Be Hers Sooner or Later

Cheng Xuan quickly poured the water and brought it in front of Jane. "Miss Jane."Jane looked at the cup of water; she actually didn’t want to drink it, but Ann had ordered the secretary to pour it for her, so she had to let go of Dao An’s hand to take the cup from the secretary.

She held the cup, intending to take a sip before handing it back to the secretary.

Just as the rim of the cup touched her lips, she felt her hand, which was wrapped around the man’s arm, being pulled away.

It was removed naturally; he took out his phone from his pocket. "Returning a call."

Then he walked away, leaving only a sturdy back to Jane.

Jane’s hand clenched around the cup slowly; she suspected the man did it on purpose.

Thinking that it’s the man she fancied, willing to serve him gladly, she swallowed her anger and handed the cup back to the secretary.

Cheng Xuan took the cup. She had been carefully observing just now. Sigh, her boss really is hard to figure out.

"Why did Ann end his work in Los Angeles early?"

Cheng Xuan looked up; it was only her and Miss Jane here. This question was definitely directed at her.

Cheng Xuan shook her head, only answering what was within her responsibilities. "Sorry Miss Jane, I don’t know about Ann’s private affairs."

Jane: "Private affairs?"

Cheng Xuan: "..."

It seemed like she hadn’t answered anything, yet she might have said something.

She wanted to escape, claiming she knew nothing, truly knew nothing.

But couldn’t resist Miss Jane’s insistent questioning:

"What was Ann busy with yesterday?"

"It’s only five o’clock now, where is Ann planning to go?"

"Has there been a woman walking closely with Ann recently?"

The questions, if Cheng Xuan didn’t know that the two were merely business partners, could easily make someone mistake them for a boyfriend-girlfriend relationship, with the girlfriend checking on the boyfriend.

Cheng Xuan honestly couldn’t answer, but for the last question... Cheng Xuan responded, "Miss Jane, there’s no woman particularly close to Ann."

This sentence was a calming injection.

Jane’s displeasure faded considerably, she smiled slightly, "I knew it."

Then she glanced at the secretary again, "What arrangements are there for Ann’s work tonight?"

Cheng Xuan shook her head truthfully, "No arrangements, Ann has been leaving at five these days."

"Five o’clock?" Jane’s voice suddenly rose a few degrees, her eyebrows arched sharply.

Cheng Xuan nodded slightly, "Yes, but I truly don’t know about Ann’s personal matters."

Jane looked skeptical, knowing Ann to be a workaholic. Hearing the secretary say Ann’s been leaving early lately, she’s naturally surprised. Then she thought about how she only just found out today, it felt like missing out on a fortune.

"I understand, go on with your work."

After saying this, Jane pursued in the direction Dao An had left.

...

Returning the call was an excuse.

Maintaining the appropriate distance between genders was the truth.

When Jane chased outside, Dao An was already sitting in the car that came to pick him up. The car hadn’t started yet, and Jane walked over, raised her hand, and tapped on the window.

The window rolled down, revealing the man’s handsome profile.

Jane bent down, her professional OL suit was stylishly cut but had a V-neck, and with this bend, she inadvertently revealed a beautiful business line.

In just one second, Dao An looked away, gazing forward.

Jane was very confident in her figure, but the man’s diverted gaze left her feeling defeated, although she covered it well, merely saying, "I owe you a meal, how about we do it tonight?"

Dao An’s gaze fell on the dashboard, "I have plans this evening."

Jane: "Meeting with friends?"

Dao An responded with a faint "Hmm."

Jane was relentless, "Include me, we’re all friends."

Seeing the man unmoved, Jane unleashed her trump card, "I’m going on a business trip, the dinner I owe can’t be delayed."

This was very effective.

She knew this man disliked owing favors. He had offered to host dinners several times, but Jane always strategized prudently, knowing when such opportunities should be utilized. This time, it worked.

The man hesitated for merely a few seconds, then implicitly allowed her to get in the car.

Jane happily went around the parking space, opened the door, and got in the car.

She wisely maintained a proper sitting distance from the man, but the split of the pencil skirt was something she couldn’t control at the moment. The further they distanced, the more attention the split got. Unfortunately, the man never crossed boundaries by taking another look.

...

Sheng Yi was sitting in the car, with her phone on her lap, and her left ear plugged with an earphone.

She was raising both hands behind her head, gathering her hair.

She wore her mask and sunglasses securely, never easily removing them once outside.

The person on the other end was Gu Yuan. At this moment, Sheng Yi was complaining to Gu Yuan about the torturous days in Manhattan. Gu Yuan only occasionally paid attention to overseas matters and didn’t know about Dao An’s schedule in M Country. In essence, Gu Family’s overseas business belonged to a separate company, handled by Dao An. Judging by the current overseas development, it won’t be long before it surpasses the domestic Gu Family’s enterprises.

Listening to Sheng Yi’s complaints, Gu Yuan patiently comforted her.

Sheng Yi said, "Lately, I’ve been eating at hotels every day, the taste has become dull, I’m determined to go out and find food."

Gu Yuan said, "Be careful."

The snowy moon is the confrontation between two strong individuals

"Hmm, I know, rest assured, even when I’m searching for food, I’ll choose the most upscale places. Safety and comfort come first. I’ve checked reviews on Hua Country’s apps, and found a restaurant with a good menu." Prepared before heading out.

Gu Yuan inquired about the restaurant’s name, checked its privacy and reputation, and found no issues before feeling somewhat relieved.

After a few more words, finally reminding her, "Finish and return to the hotel early, don’t come back late."

Sheng Yi responded playfully, "I know, I’ll be back after eating."

After hanging up, Sheng Yi opened the restaurant review app once more. The restaurant had a good reputation in Manhattan; tired of hotel food, she couldn’t wait for a change in taste.

Upon arriving at her destination.

Sheng Yi paid the fare and got off, checked her mask and sunglasses to make sure everything was in place, then went inside.

Soon after Sheng Yi entered, a low-key black car drove into the restaurant’s parking lot.

Then, a man and a woman got out of the car.
