Chapter 12 You Have No Shame

• Sure enough, Gu Tingjue stopped his work and looked up at her, his eyes still as calm as water. "What brings you here?"
• He finally acknowledged her presence. This was great.
• Jian Rou walked slowly towards Gu Tingjue and said in a sweet voice, "Tingjue, I see that you're always busy, so I made some soup for you. Also, this weekend is my father's birthday, and he wants to invite you to the celebration. He has arranged a banquet at a hotel and invited relatives and friends. Since you're my boyfriend..."
• After Jian Rou finished speaking, she carefully glanced at Gu Tingjue, her eyes filled with anticipation.
• Gu Tingjue seemed to ponder for a moment before saying, "I'm sorry, but I don't know if I'll have time then. I've been quite busy lately with social engagements."
• To be honest, if it weren't for that night five years ago when she saved him and lost her innocence, he would never have let her into his life.
• Over the years, he had helped her a lot, but it seemed like she was still not satisfied.
• He wouldn't allow anyone to act recklessly in front of him, and he knew exactly what Jian Rou was thinking.
• Jian Rou felt disappointed when she heard Gu Tingjue's rejection.
• His attitude this time was very firm. Did he really want to cut ties with her?
• No, she couldn't let that happen. She would be completely finished.
• So, Jian Rou clenched her fist and dug her nails into her palm, forcing out a few tears. With a pitiful look on her face, she looked truly vulnerable, making it hard for anyone to bear.
• "Tingjue, please try to make time for this. Everyone knows about our relationship, and if you don't go, I won't have the face to see them. I don't want those gossiping women to ask questions." Jian Rou almost pleaded.
• He had to go, otherwise everyone would speculate that they had broken up. How would those snobbish people look at her then?
• She couldn't allow such a thing to happen.
• But she was helpless because this man was simply beyond her control.
• In fact, with her current appearance, she was a top beauty in the entertainment industry. Many people wanted to know her and pursue her, but she didn't care about anyone else. Her heart only belonged to this man. However, this man treated her like air.
• Gu Tingjue was really annoyed. In the end, he could only say, "I'll check my schedule then."
• Jian Rou heard this and was overjoyed. It meant that he would go.
• She looked at Gu Tingjue's chiseled features and her heart couldn't stop pounding. Whenever she looked at him, she felt like it was her first love.
• "Okay, you're busy. I won't disturb you anymore. Remember to drink the soup. See you this weekend." After giving her instructions, Jian Rou hurriedly left.
• Gu Tingjue coldly glanced at her, and the nauseating scent of her perfume finally disappeared.
• It was so different from the faint fragrance in his memory.
• Jian Rou let out a sigh of relief as she walked out of the CEO's office. He had finally agreed.
• In fact, there was a reason why she went to such lengths to make Gu Tingjue go.
• During the years they had been together, Gu Tingjue had never touched her. At one point, she even suspected that he had a problem with his sexual orientation.
• But that couldn't be possible. Didn't he sleep with that slut Jian Ran back then?
• Could it be that she didn't give him enough hints? A normal man would have pounced on her, a beautiful woman like her, right?
• So sometimes she doubted if she lacked charm in his eyes.
• This time, she planned to take the initiative and see his reaction.
• As Jian Rou pondered, she walked and accidentally bumped into someone coming towards her. She suddenly looked up and met the person's gaze.
• Jian Rou's eyes widened in disbelief. "Jian Ran, what are you doing here? This is not where you should be."
• Jian Ran sneered inwardly. She hadn't checked the almanac before leaving the house, and now she kept running into Jian Rou. What a coincidence.
• She glanced at Jian Rou, and a hint of anger flashed in her dark eyes.
• Every time she saw her, she wanted to tear her apart.
• "Why aren't you saying anything? Do you know where this is? It's Haoting Group. You... get out!" Jian Rou blurted out harsh words.
• She looked at Jian Ran's tall figure and beautiful face, feeling jealous.
• Even though she didn't want to admit it, it was an undeniable fact that Jian Ran was more attractive than her. Her features were soft, her facial features delicate, and her fair skin was pure and alluring even without makeup.
• This woman gave her a dangerous feeling everywhere she went. And with her looks, figure, even a woman like her couldn't help but take a second look, let alone a man.
• If she walked around here and was seen by Tingjue, what would happen?
• Could this woman be doing it on purpose? Did she know that Tingjue was her fiancé and deliberately came to ruin things?
• The thought of this reason made Jian Rou furious.
• "Where are the security guards? Security, come here and kick this woman out!" Jian Rou said angrily.
• At this moment, Tang Yuanyuan ran over from nearby, looking confused.
• "Jian Ran, what's going on?" Tang Yuanyuan was still puzzled, not knowing what had happened.
• Jian Rou saw the work badge hanging in front of Tang Yuanyuan and knew that she was an employee of Haoting Group. So she pointed at Jian Ran and asked coldly, "Did you bring this woman in?"
• Tang Yuanyuan finally saw clearly that this was the famous star Jian Rou. She must be here to see President Gu, right?
• She nodded, intending to introduce Jian Ran's identity.
• But Jian Rou thought she had brought her in and immediately scolded her, "Miss, this is a company, a workplace. How can you bring these questionable people here?"
• Questionable people?
• Tang Yuanyuan was stunned. Jian Ran was the chief designer of the design department at Haoting Group. How could she be considered questionable?
• Wasn't this going too far?
• Tang Yuanyuan wanted to explain, but Jian Rou stopped her and shook her head.
• Jian Ran smiled and said, "Why are you here? Are you sure you want me to leave?"
• Although Jian Ran had never met Gu Tingjue, she didn't have a good impression of him at the moment.
• This man must be nearsighted or blind, otherwise how could he have a girlfriend like Jian Rou?
• Jian Ran spoke slowly, her eyes filled with a hint of sarcasm. The contemptuous expression instantly provoked Jian Rou. She felt that the other party was doing it on purpose, deliberately provoking her!
• This woman!
• "Hmph! Don't you even bother to find out who I am? I am the future Mrs. Haoting Group's CEO. I have the final say here. You... get out!" Jian Rou's voice pierced through the silence of the lobby, sharp and piercing.
• "The future Mrs. CEO? Haha! So you're not the current one yet?" Jian Ran taunted, her tone laced with a lazy smile. "You're already strutting around here, isn't it a bit too early?"
• "You..." When had Jian Rou ever been treated like this? She raised her hand and swung it towards Jian Ran.
