Beware the Appearing Cute Wife!

Chapter 1369: Chapter 1522: His Gentleness Was but a Fleeting Moment

A Loverless Valentine’s Day

How it inevitably feels lonely

For the love by someone unknown

The longing still remains in the heart

...

Happy Valentine’s Day, Valentine’s Day of joy

All I hear is sad music

*

This night, Tao Zhixiang was sleepless.

Lying on the bed like that, waiting for the sky outside to turn from pitch-black to dawn.

This night, Chu Mucheng still... did not appear.

Tao Zhixiang’s mind was still replaying past memories.

That night of the third day of Lunar New Year, Chu Mucheng appeared so unexpectedly, and the tenderness of that night made her feel... particularly warm.

The next day, the fourth day of Lunar New Year, she woke up to find him beside her, and his gentle treatment that day made her feel extraordinarily happy.

Originally, she wanted to treat every moment with him as if it was the last time to love, but ultimately, she couldn’t control her heart and still wanted more.

He said that after being with her, she was the only woman by his side.

These words still made her heart race with excitement, bubbling with happiness.

If it weren’t for the tenderness of that day, then she certainly wouldn’t have hoped for Chu Mucheng’s appearance on Valentine’s Day.

No, actually, she would still hope, but it certainly wouldn’t be like yesterday, her heart pounding away.

Clearly, she was already deeply entangled, unable to extricate herself.

However, Chu Mucheng never gave her any promises!

Never.

So, all these expectations were merely her wishful thinking!

In the end, she wasn’t the one in his heart!

After getting up in the morning, Tao Zhixiang went to wash her face, and looking at the swollen-eyed woman in the mirror, she couldn’t help but give a self-mocking smile.

Look, she had turned herself into such a sorry state!

She had deeply buried that man in her heart, but his tenderness to her was probably just a fleeting whim!

He simply didn’t care about her, did he?

Between them... there was simply no future.

After getting everything ready to go to work, bustling all morning, Tao Zhixiang felt a bit dizzy.

When she had just finished printing some materials and was coming out of the printing room, her vision suddenly went dark, she stumbled, wanting to support herself against the wall but surprisingly touched someone instead.

That person held her arm, strongly and firmly.

Gathering her senses, Tao Zhixiang opened her eyes again and saw He Muyang’s face.

"Direct... Director He!"

Before the word "Leader" could come out, Tao Zhixiang quickly corrected herself.

After all, in the company, it was better to address him as Director.

It’s just that she really didn’t want him to see her in such a sorry state!

He Muyang’s gaze fell on Tao Zhixiang’s face, slightly repressed, his brows furrowed.

When they parted last night, she didn’t look like this, so why did she look so worn out at work today?

Moreover, her eyes were so swollen...

Her appearance clearly showed she had been crying!

Tao Zhixiang also noticed He Muyang staring at her, so she quickly pulled back her arm.

"Thank you!"

He Muyang squinted his eyes, asking, "What’s going on? Didn’t rest well last night?"

Tao Zhixiang forced a smile.

"It’s nothing, just my hand hurt a bit last night, so I didn’t sleep well."

"Just that?"

He Muyang was a bit skeptical of Tao Zhixiang’s words.

"If I hadn’t held you just now, you probably would’ve fallen to the ground by now!"

Tao Zhixiang: "..."

"If you’re feeling unwell, you can take a leave!"

Tao Zhixiang shook her head.

"I’m really fine, thank you, Director He! They are waiting for me to deliver the reports over there; I’ll be going now!"

With that, Tao Zhixiang turned and left, while He Muyang watched her back, squinting his eyes, lost in thought.
