The more lively TV is, the more lonely the room is.

Yu Fei picks up the remote control and presses the shutdown button. All the sound disappears in an instant. The sheer silence makes them a little uncomfortable.

“Why not let me know when you left?” Gu Yi finally speaks.

Yu Fei has already guessed why he comes, but she still doesn’t know how to explain it.

Seeing she keeps silent, Gu Yi doesn’t ask persistently. Actually, he is clear that sooner or later Yu Fei will move out, and what he minds is that Yu Fei left a note only. To him, it’s like leaving without saying good-bye.

Yu Fei wants to go back home urgently because of Ko Chen’s stimulation, but she can’t say that directly to Gu Yi. She decides to remain silent after thinking twice.

After waiting for a long time, Gu Yi finds that Yu Fei still keeps silent. He stares at her a while and leaves without any words.

As soon as his car leaves her housing estate, the bodyguards report this news to Ko Chen. He has no mood for working, especially when he sees Yu Yu comes in with complacency, and he is more certain that Yu Fei must have been hurt badly when she was downstairs.

He specially told the bodyguards to keep a close eye on Yu Fei’s movements. The bodyguards report to Ko Chen in detail about Yu Fei’s recent movements.

Hearing Gu Yi’s name, Ko Chen feels upset. He knows clearly what kind of person Gu Yi is and Yu Fei will absolutely suffer if she gets close to him.

Although he is sure that Yu Fei loves him only, with time passing and the more hurt she suffers, his certainty probably turns into uncertainty. Ko Chen also fears that one day Yu Fei kicks him out of her heart and allows others to move in.

No, he can’t afford to let this thing happen.

Right now, Gu Yi is the biggest threat to him and he will try every way to expose his true color to Yu Fei.

Ko Chen makes a call to Uncle Zhang with the pen spinning in his hand unconsciously, his eyes fixing on the photo frame in the drawer, “Uncle Zhang, find some trouble for Gu Yi.”

After he finishes his words, there comes a knock on the door of his office.

Ko Chen looks up at the door and instructs with a low voice, then he hangs up the phone and lets the person in.

Unexpectedly, the person who comes in is Yu Yu, and there is another person following her. It’s Wang Feng.

Ko Chen doesn’t expect that Wang Feng will come here. Clearly, she has something to ask for him. He frowns and doesn’t say anything, waiting silently for her to reveal her intention.

Wang Feng glances at Ko Chen’s office, and could not help but praise. Although she also has a president’s office, Ko Chen’s is three or four times larger than Yu’s, not to mention the layout inside. Their offices are simply not of the same class.

Yu Yu takes her to sit on the sofa. Wang Feng concentrates on looking around the office, forgetting to ask.

Yu Yu pokes her secretly and reminds her with a low voice, “Mom, talk the business.”

Wang Feng comes back to herself as if wakening from a dream, and she suddenly understands and nods, “Oh, yes, how can I forget the business.”

She looks at ko Chen with a nearly flattering smile on her face, and says, “My dear son-in-law, I’m here to ask for your help. You know my company has some problems with its turnover recently. The capital chain is broken and we have difficulty in capital turnover. Now there’s just another good project, but our capital is not enough and the bank is not willing to lend us money. I have no way out, so I have to ask you for a favor.”

Ko Chen listens to her without saying nothing. He is very clear about Yu’s situation. Since he married Yu Fei three years ago, he secretly arranged his own people in Yu’s company, and at that time it was to help Yu’s company, but now it has become a way to obtain information.

After she finishes her words, she stares at Ko Chen’s face nervously, fearing that he will refuse her.

Out of her expectation, Ko Chen suddenly smiles with relaxation and answers indifferently, “Of course.”

Hearing what he says, Wang Feng’s eyes light up.

Ko Chen is very clear about Wang Feng’s intention, but shows nothing on the face, just saying to Yu Yu who stands next him, “Take your mother to the finance department, and take the money you need, no matter how much. Put it down to my account.”

Ko Chen’s generosity shocks Wang Feng a little bit. Before her coming she worried that what if Ko Chen disagreed, and she even came up with several excuses. But now these excuses are of no avail.

Wang Feng’s exultation is all there on her face. After happily praising Ko Chen, she follows Yu Yu’s into the finance department, thinking greedily of blackmailing a large sum of money.

Ko Chen glances at the number that the finance department sends him, raising his dashing eyebrows slightly, and smiling disdainfully. He doesn’t expect Wang Feng is so greedy. Such a large sum of money is enough to buy Yu’s company, not to mention a project.

Ko Chen has planned that Wang Feng and Yu Yu love money, so he will give it to them. No matter they want money or power, he can satisfy them. Only in this way, will they slowly walk into the net he weaves for them.

A sneer sounds in the office. Ko Chen turns to look behind. The sky gradually becomes darker, and the sunset paints half of the sky dazzlingly red.

At the same time, there is another person looking at the sky. It’s Yu Fei at the other side of city.

After Gu Yi leaves, Yu Fei has been sitting in the rattan chair on the balcony, looking at the sky blankly. Her brain is empty, thinking about nothing, with her hands touching her belly occasionally.

After all these days, her belly still doesn’t get much bigger, but the doctor says it will be big enough to be known for a while.

Yu Fei imagines her appearance with a big belly, and can’t help laughing. Now, only thinking of the child in her belly can make her feel a little happy.

And all other things are ignored by Yu Fei. She doesn’t want to think about them.

However, things often go against her will. Although she wants to ignore them, those people still come for her.

When Yu Fei sees Yu Yu’s phone call, her good mood instantly disappears. She doesn’t forget how she treated her in the daytime, and it just happened a few hours ago. Although she is not a stingy person, it does not mean she is mindless.

Yu Fei has no intention to pick up the phone, so she throws the phone aside, letting the phone ring on.

She thought it would be over but she underestimates Yu Yu’s willpower. Yu Yu calls again.

The ring annoys Yu Fei, so she mutes the phone, deciding to ignore it.

Yu Yu calls several times and no one answers her calls, and her patience is gradually running out. She frowns impatiently, and her beautiful face is much diminished because of this.

She called to show off, but didn’t expect Yu Fei failed to answer her call. Her interest is worn off little by little, but she doesn’t want to give up, coming up with another idea quickly.
