Chapter 46: Blackmail
The sudden move shocked Wen Shuyue. She stared at He Siming dumbfounded, obviously wondering why He was so impulsive.
Perhaps realizing that he was losing his cool, He Siming let go a little bit, but kept pinching her chin.
“Wen Shuyue, awhat makes you think you can ask me out? You really can’t do that.” He curled his lips with a sneer.
His words hit her like thunder, and Wen Shuyue felt her head go blank. She did not know what she was thinking about now.
Did he already know what happened between her and Lin Lin? Was that why he treated her so badly?
Wen Shuyue stood in a daze. She didn’t even know when He Siming left, let alone how long Guan Yue waited for her.
“Miss Wen, it’s getting colder outside. You’d better hurry up and get in the car.” Guan Yue finally opened his mouth to remind her.
When she heard the sound, Wen Shuyue regained consciousness. When she found that He Siming had left, she felt a little frustrated and smiled reluctantly before getting into the car.
Along the way, she was immersed in her own world. Guan Yue said a lot to her, and she didn’t listen to him until the latter sentence brought her back to reality.
“Miss Wen, Mr. He has been very kind to you. I have never seen him pay so much attention to anyone, so you must not think that he is indifferent to you. In fact, he is also very careful and gentle to you.”
Was he gentle and careful?
Wen Shuyue sipped his lips. She didn’t seem to find He Siming gentle and careful so far.
After she took a deep breath and tried to hide her emotions, she said faintly, “He cared about me because I was Baobao’s mother.”
“Well, I’m really not sure about that.” Guan Yue reminded intentionally or unintentionally, and there was a meaningful smile at the corners of his mouth.
He knew his boss so well that if He Siming did not have feelings for this woman, he would never pay attention to her as he did now. He Siming would even rather go back by himself than leave him behind and send her back, and that alone could tell.
His boss’s affection for Wen Shuyue was definitely not just because of Baobao.
No matter whether Guan Yue’s words were comforting her or not, Wen Shuyue felt warm in her heart, like a mild current flowing slowly into the deepest part in her heart.
“By the way, Miss Wen, are you free on Christmas Day?” Guan Yue suddenly seemed to think of something and looked at Wen Shuyue earnestly.Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.
This question left Wen Shuyue with some difficulty. It was true that she was free that day, but she had promised Lin Lin to make an appointment for her so that she couldn’t go back on her promise.
As if seeing Wen Shuyue’s meaning, Guan Yue smiled and said, “Miss Wen, we all heard what you said to your friend the other day. Mr. He was very upset. Maybe that’s why he treated you so badly. So are you still going to ask him out for your friend on a date?”
“Did you really hear that?” Wen Shuyue was surprised.
She remembered that they had said these words at the hospital. How could He Siming, who had never been to the hospital to see her, have heard it?
But if it was someone else telling to him, it seemed hardly justifiable. Wen Shuyue was puzzled for a while and couldn’t understand the reason.
“Yeah, Mr. He and I went to the hospital to see you, and that’s when we heard it. Then he got angry and left.” Guan Yue said solemnly.
While saying this, he did not forget to observe Wen Shuyue, obviously to see if she had feelings for his boss.
These words inspired Wen Shuyue so much that she didn’t listen to what Guan Yue said later. She felt now that it was all her fault.
Perhaps it was because she didn’t like being in debt, Wen Shuyue kept it in mind all the time. But because of Lin Lin, she couldn’t find He Siming alone to apologize.

“Baobao, has your godmother come to pick you up already?”
As soon as Wen Shuyue got off work, she hurried to the school. Lin Lin seemed angry. She didn’t answer her phone calls or text messages. She could only pray that Lin Lin would pick up Wen Baobao at school.
There was no response for the moment on the other end of the phone. Wen Shuyue waited impatiently, but the sound she heard was the last one she wanted to hear.
“Hello, Wen Shuyue. I haven’t seen you for such a long time, don’t you forget me? The cooperation between Mannis and MK is so perfect, should I congratulate you?”
As soon as she heard it, she knew whose disgusting voice it was.
Wen Shuyue’s face turned pale, and she spoke hastily into the phone. “Lu Junhan, what do you want to do? I warn you not to hurt Baobao. Otherwise, I will never let you off.”
“Screw you! What have you got to deal with me? Don’t think I’m afraid of you because you have He Siming and Gu Ning on your back. If I want to destroy you, I’ll do anything.” Lu Junhan flew into a rage that could be heard over the phone.
On the other end of the phone, there was not only the voice of Lu Junhan but also all kinds of noises. Wen Shuyue also vaguely heard Baobao talking.
She clutched the phone so tightly that she couldn’t even speak clearly. “What do you want? Baobao is innocent, and he must not be involved in what is going on between us.”
“Who do you think you are? It’s not up to you. ” Lu Junhan yelled at her.
Wen Shuyue was just about to speak when his voice came again, “This time your company has to cooperate with me on a project. If you don’t cooperate with me, you will never see your son. ”
“Lu Junhan! You’re crazy!” Wen Shuyue gasped. Her face was as pale as it could be.
MK’s project launched this time attracted much attention, and many big groups wanted to cooperate with it. Gu Ning wanted Wen Shuyue and He Siming to have further development, so he wanted to leave this project to Mannis. He Siming had mentioned this project before and was obviously interested.
If it was to be changed now, Gu Ning would never have agreed, nor would the entire MK board.
“Never mind if I’m crazy or not, I won’t let you see your son as long as you don’t choose to cooperate with me. You call.” Lu Junhan didn’t want to talk nonsense and hung up as soon as he finished speaking.
“May you burn in hell, Lu Junhan! You shall pay for what you have done.” Wen Shuyue shouted into the phone, but Lu Junhan didn’t hear her.
The thought of Wen Baobao in Lu Junhan’s hands made Wen Shuyue’s heart ache, and she burst into tears.
