With that, the call ended, Qing Yuan feeling that his soul was leaving his body, hopeless.

With him thinking that he's about to pass out soon, he slumped on his seat, feeling that it's the end of his life right here and then, as he did not expect that the secret that he is keeping is now out of the bag.

'I'm done for… I'm so done for.'

With Qing Yuan slumping on his seat, Yu Yan couldn't help but feel relieved that finally he is getting what he deserves.

Since she is no one, she couldn't stand against this man. She was alone and desperate that no one is helping her with her son other than her mother, but this is enough.

Her mother is very caring enough to help her take care of her son. The same as her, she curses the child's the father to death!

With nothing to say, Wang Lei continued eating his steak, scoffing as he no longer looked at hopeless Qing Yuan before him and just looked at his food, already hungry.

"I won't say I'm sorry, Qing Yuan,

" Wang Lei spoke, already speaking to him with familiarity.

"You deserve this since you ignored your responsibility as a father and you did this to yourself. Karma is a bitch. You know that saying, right?

"

With this said, Qing Yuan couldn't help but feel desperate. He then looked at Yu Yan, standing up from his seat and then now bowing in front of her as if he is asking mercy from the queen.

"Yu Yan, I'm sorry! Please tell the man to stop this, please! I promise I'll take care of our son! I promise that I will do my responsibility as a father! Please, tell my wife that I will help you, and I will be good… I will continue to be her husband.

"

Shaking her head, Yu Yan couldn't help but sigh as he looked at the man who was bowing in front of her, begging for forgiveness.

Somehow, this sight made her feel good, making her choke up in tears as she was waiting for this moment to happen—for him to receive the judgment and karma that he deserves.

"Begging for forgiveness won't save you now,

" Yu Yan said, Qing Yuan, looking up to face her.

"N-no… please… our son. I—

"

"And don't you dare call him 'our' son!

"

Yu Yan interrupted, slightly surprising Wang Lei and Mr. Ying with her sudden outburst.

"You were never there for me—for us—since day one! You always wanted for our deaths to happen! You blocked me from any kinds of job that I could apply to!

"

"Yu Yan…

" Qing Yuan's lips trembled, desperate.

"I-I'm sorry. I promise that I won't be this bad anymore. I—

"

"Enough! You will not get anything from me—even slight remorse. If you want to see your son, the only way for you to see him is when he asks for you! We will visit you in jail!

"

"Yu Yan…

"

Having enough of this man, Yu Yan turned her body to stop looking at him, tears already escaping her eyes. With the sight of this, Mr. Ying immediately approached her and gave her his handkerchief, Yu Yan, getting it from his hand and used it to wipe her tears.

At the same time, there was a knock heard on the door. With the person before it speaking for herself, it gave the bodyguard the signal to give the woman entrance.

"It's me. Feng Xiao Mei.

"

With the door opened, they already saw who Qing Yuan's wife is.

Her black hair cascaded at her back, the woman, wearing sun glasses to hide her eyes—probably from crying while she goes to this very location. The red on her lips gave her a strong feel, along with the sophisticated clothes that she wore.

She does indeed look like a woman who is more powerful than Qing Yuan. And he is lucky—very lucky—to marry a woman like Feng Xiao Mei who is not only known in the business industry, but also in show business.

Removing her sunglasses that revealed her slightly puffy, red eyes, she still looked pretty, the woman, smiling at Mr. Wang Lei and his employees.

She completely ignored her soon-to-be ex-husband, making Qing Yuan turn his bowing position to face his soon-to-be ex-wife.

"Mr. Wang Lei, everyone… I'm sorry that I have arrived late. I did my best to arrive here in the meeting place as soon as possible,

" Feng Xiao Mei greeted them, Wang Lei, quickly standing up to give Xiao Mei a small bow.

"Good day, Ma'am Xiao Mei. No worries—there is no rush.

"

With Wang Lei gesturing for the empty seat for her to sit down, also towards the untouched steak, he spoke again, inviting Xiao Mei to lunch.

"Lunch?

"

"Of course,

" Xiao Mei said with an elegant nod, already walking towards the table as her heels clicked on the wooden floor.

"Xiao Mei,

" Qing Yuan begged, stopping her in her tracks as he wrapped his arm around her leg.

"P-please… I'm sorry. Save me, please. I'm wrong. Please, I—ah!

"

With Xiao Mei not hesitating to give Qing Yuan a hard slap on his face, the sound surprised Yu Yan, putting both of her hands on her mouth to cover her surprise.

The bodyguard and Mr. Ying were only silent, Wang Lei, smirking at the scene as he liked what Qing Yuan received from Feng Xiao Mei.

"You! How dare you talk to me after all you've done? You are a stranger to me starting now! You will no longer have connections with me and with the others as you will now stay in jail where you deserve!

"

"X-Xiao Mei…

"

Tears escaped from Qing Yuan's eyes. He couldn't believe it that his sweet Feng Xiao Mei who loved him regardless… turned out to be an icy witch when you have gotten on her nerves.

It was as if she is a completely different person, making him wonder who this heartless lady is before him.
