Tang Yuchen picked up the cup and took a sip of water, his slightly drooping eyes showing a hint of admiration.
An Ruo sat opposite him, unsure of what to say for a moment. If they were husband and wife, she would have leaned against him and happily chatted about household matters.
But they had divorced, and she was a woman who was engaged to be married; their current relationship was quite awkward.
Tang Yuchen put down the cup and broke the silence, "Have you been following the news lately?"
"About Tang Yushen being arrested, there’s a good chance he will be sentenced."
An Ruo shook her head, "I haven’t seen it."
Tang Yuchen, leaning back on the couch with his hands clasped over his abdomen, said with a light smile, "The Tang Family’s stocks have plummeted these past few days. The business myth that was once admired is probably coming to an end."
His tone was very relaxed, and An Ruo couldn’t help but ask in puzzlement, "You don’t have any thoughts about the Tang Family’s downfall? After all, it was also your hard work."
The man smiled but did not speak. He finished the water in one gulp, stood up, and said, "It’s getting late. When Kangkang comes out, help me explain to him. Just say I had something and had to go back early. I’ll come to pick him up tomorrow morning."
An Ruo also stood up, "Okay, I’ll tell him."
Tang Yuchen took one deep look into her eyes and then headed for the door. An Ruo walked him to the door, and she was about to close it when he suddenly turned around to face her.
"Is there anything else?"
He suddenly embraced her tightly, burying his head in her hair and taking a deep breath.
An Ruo was stunned; she was about to react when he quickly let her go and left without looking back.
Watching his disappearing figure, she stood dumbfounded for several seconds before finally closing the door.
The next day when she went to work at the studio, An Ruo specifically searched online for news about the Tang Family. There were many reports, all about Tang Yushen’s arrest and the sharp fall in the Tang Family’s stocks.
The Tang Family was the largest enterprise in J City and a major national enterprise. Its downfall would surely have a significant impact on J City’s economy.
Last night she asked Tang Yuchen if he had any thoughts, but he didn’t say anything. Perhaps he had his plans; she didn’t think he would just neglect the collapse of the Tang Family.
Sure enough, within a couple of days, new news came out. TLA Corporation was planning to acquire the Tang Family, and the internal board of directors of the Tang Family was also planning to sell the company to TLA.
She knew it; he wouldn’t ignore the Tang Family. Now that the Tang Family was back in his hands, Tang Yushen had only managed it for a little over two years and ended up with nothing.
It proved that Tang Yuchen was much more capable.
That day, while An Ruo was working in the studio, she received a call from An Ji.
He said he would be back in about a week, and An Ruo was delighted to hear it.
She remembered Mo Hua had asked her to inform him when Xiao Ji got back. After hanging up with An Ji, she immediately called Mo Hua to let him know.
"Why are you waiting for Xiao Ji to come back? Do you need him for something?" An Ruo asked him, puzzled.
Mo Hua laughed, "Have you forgotten what we agreed on? Once An Ji is back, we’re going to have a wedding."
An Ruowei was stunned; she hesitated, "Isn’t that too soon? How about we wait a little longer?"
She hadn’t sorted out her own thoughts yet, and making a decision now seemed too rushed.
"Not too soon at all, An Ruo, you should know how much I want to marry you..." Mo Hua paused, then asked her cautiously.
