Chapter 16

Can’t Let Her Get Away

“Let’s go to the capital together,” Su Mo said. “I’ve asked my dad to arrange for me to be sent to the general headquarters of Delightful Talk. Once I rack up some experience and get a steady footing, I’ll be able to work at a more prestigious newspaper. By that point in time, I’ll give you news coverage if you need any. I can also give you some insider information and news from the grapevine in advance.”

“I’ll trouble you for that, then,” Sheng Donglin uttered in a low voice, “Shall I make love tenderly to you again as an exchange?”

“Aiya, you’re so annoying. You just like to f*ck people.”

“Don’t you like it? Mm?”

“Ah…” Su Mo started to moan seductively. “Slower…”

Gong Mo grit her teeth in loathing. She had had enough of their erotic drama and turned to leave. Suddenly, the phone in her hand rang. She was startled and she looked down in a hurry and saw Sheng Nanxuan’s caller ID.

The noises inside immediately stopped and Su Mo shouted with great alarm, “Someone’s here!”

Gong Mo hung up the phone in an instant, chucked it into her bag, and ran out. Halfway down the hall, she looked back instinctively and saw Sheng Donglin come out of the break room holding his pants.

“Gong Mo!” Sheng Donglin was astonished. He had not expected her to ever show up here.

Gong Mo ran towards the exit with intensified anxiety.

Su Mo walked to the door covered in a blanket and shouted fiercely, “Don’t let her get away! She heard everything!”

Upon hearing that, Sheng Donglin stormed instantly towards Gong Mo. Just when Gong Mo was about to open the door, he charged at her and she fell to the ground.

“AH!” Gong Mo shouted out in pain. Her handbag fell from her hand and her phone dropped out of the bag.

In her shock, she lifted her head and looked at Sheng Donglin, frightened that he would realise she had been recording them.

“Why are you here?” Sheng Donglin looked at her sinisterly.

Her mind was in chaos. All she could think about was his plot against Sheng Nanxuan. How could he do that?

She asked indistinctly, “We were together for one and a half years. Did you ever have feelings for me?”

If he ever had feelings for her, how could he be so heartless as to drop her off to another man! Didn’t he know it could ruin her?

Even if he did like her a little, did he not have a shred of decency? He must not have ever liked her. He had only been using her from the very beginning.

Su Mo got dressed in the break room and walked outside. Her hair was a mess and her face was slightly red with a languid charm because she had just had vigorous s*x with Sheng Donglin. However, the gaze she shot at Gong Mo brimmed with loathing and viciousness. “What did you hear?”

Gong Mo was stunned for a moment but suddenly snapped back to reality. She lowered her head and dared not look at them, afraid that they would realize the holes in her story.

Su Mo barked at Sheng Donglin, “We can’t let her get away! She’ll tell Sheng Nanxuan!”

Sheng Donglin clenched his fists, feeling slightly awkward. What could they do if they didn’t release her? Kill her to shut her up? But… He felt some hesitation in his heart.

“How did you get here?” he asked. “We’re over!”

Gong Mo finally remembered the purpose of her visit. Regaining her courage, she lifted her head and asked, “Was it you who annulled my employment with Delightful Talk? Sheng Donglin, how could you do this to me! Even if we’re no longer together, you shouldn’t jeopardize my career!”

“Delightful Talk? I had nothing to do with that!” Sheng Donglin suddenly remembered that Su Mo’s father was the Editor-in-Chief of Delightful Talk and turned to look at Su Mo.

Su Mo looked away in guilt, then urned her gaze back to him after a moment and said menacingly, “Let’s just say I had my dad do it. So what? You have already broken up with her, so why do you still feel sorry for her?”

Gong Mo looked at her in utter disbelief. “It was you?”
