Chapter 870 Are you preparing to leave him?

id of Lei Mu Xiao. W.R., you're a seasoned veteran on deserted islands. I don't care what you did before, since you've arrived here, you have to obey the organization's arrangements and live your merc...Du Xueyao gently pulled open the drawer and took out a gleaming dagger. She held the hilt tightly with her right hand, her trembling right hand reaching towards him... She looked at his handsome face and bit her lower lip tightly...

She held the knife straight up, her trembling hand hovering in mid-air for what seemed like an eternity. The blade never plunged into his left chest...

Du Xueyao bit her lower lip, a single tear rolling down her cheek. She clenched her jaw, unable to bring herself to… she couldn't! Why Why did things have to be this way

Du Xueyao bit her teeth again, raising the blade slightly to prepare for a final thrust... But just a few centimeters from his left chest, she still lacked the courage and ability to drive the blade in...

No… how could this be!

Du Xueyao was caught in a struggle between heaven and earth. She painfully closed her eyes, unable to bring herself to do it... She really couldn't do it! Why He was the target assigned to her by her grandfather, and at the same time, her enemy. Why couldn't she bring herself to harm him

She froze, she slightly turned her body, and placed the dagger back into the drawer beside her...

She was facing away from him, her tear-filled eyes staring at her own right hand which was still trembling slightly... She really couldn't bring herself to do it!

She haphazardly wiped the tears from her cheeks. If she couldn't bring herself to do it, how could she complete her mission How would she avenge herself

Ji Shengze slightly opened his eyes, looking at the slender figure facing him. He reached out and wiped away a tear that had fallen onto his forehead. She had finally decided not to…

Actually, he had already woken up when she pulled open the drawer. Ji Shengze, who had always been a light sleeper, would wake up at the slightest movement. He remained silent and motionless, wanting to see what she was going to do!

But unexpectedly, the sharp dagger remained suspended in mid-air... Instead, her tears fell onto his forehead, shaking Ji Shengze to his core...

He knew she had cried.

Looking at her slight trembling figure, Ji Shengze reached out and directly hugged her into his arms.

Du Xueyao was startled. He woke up He... did he know she wanted to kill him Her peripheral vision caught sight of Ji Shengze, looking at his still-closed eyes, and she finally let out a breath of relief...

She wiped away her tears and fell asleep in his arms. In the end, she still couldn't bring herself to do it...

The next morning, Du Xueyao woke up in his arms. Gently moving his arm away, she got up and wanted to open the changing room beside her to organize the clothes she was going to take.

"Where do you want to go"

When Du Xueyao had almost finished tidying up, a sudden voice from behind startled her.

"You, you're awake." Du Xueyao was a little flustered, her hands didn't know where to put them!

The woman who truly wanted to kill him was now trembling before him… How could she possibly take his life

"That's how I see it," Du Xueyao took a deep breath and stared at Ji Shengze, "Since the child is gone, our engagement is no longer necessary."

"Not fulfill it" Ji Shengze frowned slightly, reaching out to pinch her jaw, "Things that have already begun cannot be ended casually!"

Du Xueyao looked at Ji Shengze's deep eyes: "Ji Shengze, what do you want to do"

"I'm taking you as my wife!" He made it clear enough!

Du Xueyao bit her lower lip, she hadn't expected he would still want to marry her What else did he want from her

"But the child is gone, why would you still marry me, just because I look exactly like her I'm not a replacement!"

"I've never said you were her replacement!" Ji Shengze blushed, his face turning grim. He was angry!

"But all of this, it shows… I'm just her stand-in!"

Ji Shengze sneered, curling his lips. "Du Xueyao, if you want to be her substitute, you have to see if you are qualified!" He sneered, his expression cold and intimidating.

"A woman who can no longer bear children, she was never qualified..." Du Xueyao slightly raised the corner of her lips, but her smile was heart-wrenching. The look of despair in her smile made Ji Shengze frown deeply.

Du Xueyao dodged his restraints and walked outside, "I'm going to work."

Ji Shengze looked at her back... His expression was unusually cold, with an indescribable heartache. In six years, this was the first time, the first time he felt heartache for a woman!

Er Yang and Bin Heng just walked into the consortium when they noticed something was off. The CEO's mood was off today! So all morning they were careful in their actions, because if the CEO got angry, they couldn't handle it!

"Bang!" Just like the moment Lei Xintian disappeared, Ji Shengze once again erupted in anger at the meeting. "Did the development department bring me this document to fob me off"

"Mr. President, Mr. President."

"No good development documents" Ji Shengze's cold eyes suddenly focused on the head of the development department in front of him.

The head of the development department, slightly chubby and shaking with fear, had never seen the CEO so furious!

"Total, Chairman, I'm sorry, I'll take it back and modify it right away."

"Do it again!" Ji Shengze suddenly stood up from the leather chair, scanned the faces of those in front of him, and then uttered two words through his thin lips: "Dismissed!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he strode out the door with long legs.

As soon as Ji Shengze said this, everyone at the meeting was dumbfounded. No one expected the CEO to suddenly become like this

"Er Yang, do you know how the CEO is doing" The head of the development department asked Er Yang, who was always by Ji Shengze's side.

Er Yang shook his head, "I'm not too sure either, just be careful everyone."

"Na Bin Heng... Do you know" Several department heads also chimed in from the side, "The CEO seems to be very angry."

Bin Heng also shook his head, "I'm not quite sure what happened, but it's not me saying... The development department's director's development document was really poorly done. The CEO wasn't in a good mood to begin with, seeing such a document... You can imagine!"

The head of the development department looked at Bin Heng with shame. He knew that the document they had made this time was poorly done, but they really had no other choice.

"Minister, you have to think of a countermeasure. Keeping on submitting such files... your position is in danger!" Er Yang also persuaded the Head of the Development Department, "Don't take today's matter to heart."

"No, no." The head of the development department immediately shook his head. "I know this document was too hasty. I'll take it back and have someone redo it, then conduct multiple reviews before submitting it to the president for approval." Kule Group's funding and benefits were always excellent, and he knew this document was poorly done, so he was able to accept this lesson!

Er Yang and Bin nodded at each other, then left the conference room one after the other. In fact, they both knew very well that the person who could make the CEO so angry... besides Lei Xintian, there was only Du Xueyao!

"Is it because Miss Du miscarried that the president is unhappy" Bin Heng guessed.

Er Yang shook his head, "It shouldn't be. There must be a deeper reason. Today, Ms. Du saw the president and walked around him."

It seems… for a while, they really need to be careful!

For a fortnight, the entire conglomerate was shrouded in a pall of gloom…

Gazing at Du Xueyao, who was drawing design drawings on a drawing board in her seat, Shen Qinian finally choked out the words he had held back for half a month.

"Xueyao, what's wrong with you" Shen Qinian felt that Du Xueyao was strange. Ever since General Ji took Du Xueyao away from her place a month and a half ago, she had been acting off. Shen Qinian had noticed it long ago, but she didn't know how to bring it up.

"I'm fine." Du Xueyao's gaze was still fixed on the design drawings. She feigned a lighthearted tone, replying to Shen Qinyan.

"Are you alright" Shen Qinian snatched the tool from her hand. "Look into my eyes."

Du Xueyao looked at Shen Qinyan's eyes, and now Shen Qinyan was even more certain. "There must be something! Tell me, what happened Is it you and President Ji..." This sentence, Shen Qinyan said in a low voice, "Did the two of you have a quarrel Isn't it normal for couples to have quarrels Don't take it too seriously, there's a saying... Couples fight at the head of the bed and make up at the end of the bed!"

"We're not boyfriend and girlfriend, nor husband and wife, Qinyin. Do you understand what I mean"

Not a couple, not married...

What is that

Du Xueyao looked at Shen Qinyan's puzzled expression, then shook her head and said, "You wouldn't understand."

"If you don't say anything, how would I know" Shen Qinian looked at Du Xueyao who was about to continue working with all her concentration. She worried that her body wouldn't be able to take it, "Don't draw anymore, you're almost a model employee of the design department!"

"Qin Yan..." She didn't want to stop at all, because as soon as she stopped, her mind was filled with thoughts of him. She couldn't bring herself to do it, she actually couldn't bring herself to do it, why was that! She couldn't understand...she couldn't understand!

"Xue Yao, what on earth is going on with you Don't let losing the child turn you into this!" Shen Qin Yan lowered her voice again, she didn't want Du Xue Yao to become like this. "And the entire corporation seems to be shrouded in darkness, the CEO has been incredibly angry lately, it must be because of you!"

Du Xueyao took a deep breath and stared at Shen Qinyan. Looking at her concerned expression, she couldn't keep hiding it any longer. "Qinyan, there is no love between me and him."

"No... there's no love Then..." How could this be Shen Qinian looked at her incredulously, pulling his chair closer to hers.

"I am the substitute for the woman he loves the most." Du Xueyao curled her lip, a self-deprecating smile.

"How could this be" Shen Qinian was stunned and speechless. "Then Xue Yao, are you preparing to leave him"

"Hmm," Du Xueyao nodded, "I don't want anything anymore. I want to leave him."

"Snow Yao, you should consider my proposal... to work at our family company!" Shen Qin said to Du Xue Yao.ll send someone to look for it right away. 。"Hearing that Old Master Du was also in the mood for lotus root, the cook did not dare to neglect him and immediately went all over the city to find some!“G...
