Wang Lu’s mother visited his son in the company. Wang Lu continued to type on his laptop and continued his work as he ignored his mother’s nag of making him marry his fiance.

”Are you listening to me!?”

”Yes, mom,” Wang Lu said, obviously disinterested, “I’m listening to you.”

”You are not!”

Feeling annoyed with his son’s attitude, Wang Lu’s mother went in front of his son’s desk and had immediately closed his laptop screen.

Wang Lu slightly rolled his eyes at his mother as he heaved a small sigh, looking up at her meet her eyes.

”Mom, how could you disturb me at work?”

Wang Lu’s mother scoffed as she crossed her arms in front of her chest.

”I could disturb you any time I want! I am asking you to listen to your mother and to get married already!”

Wang Lu ran his hand through his hair, feeling frustrated with how his mother kept asking him to get married. She’s been forcing Wang Lu to marry his fiance, but Wang Lu didn’t want to since his heart still clings on to someone whom he couldn’t get.

Yan Mei.

Wang Lu looked at his mother with a hint of pain in his eyes, “I don’t want to get married, mom. No matter how much you beg me to, I wouldn’t want to.”

Wang Lu’s mother rolled her eyes at his son.

”If you’re not going to marry your fiance, how are you going to help the company prosper?”

Wang Lu opened his laptop, heaved another sigh, then started typing again.

”The company can prosper with only my capability. We don’t need to depend on someone else.”

”Wang Lu…”

His mother’s voice sounded desperate. She sat on the seat in front of her son’s desk. Her eyes looked pitiful as she furrowed her brows, staring at his son to look like a mother who had suddenly turned weak.

”Please listen to your mother… other than the company, I want you to marry, and I want you to have a child, then I could have a grandchild. We could have a successor for the company!”

”En.” Wang Lu nodded, “But I would have to think of that when I already feel like it is the perfect timing.”

”Perfect timing? Perfect timing?”

His mother’s voice sounded sarcastic. She rolled her eyes at him again, a scoff coming from her.

”You think we need the perfect timing? Aren’t you just using that as an excuse?”

Wang Lu continued typing on his laptop. He wanted so badly to talk back to his mother, but still, even with how annoyed he was, he wanted to show her his respect. He may have wanted her out of his office, but he could only listen to her and turn her down properly.

”I’m not, mom,” he said, no longer being able to hide his hint of annoyance. “I just want to take things slowly and wait before I get married again.”

Wang Lu’s mother’s lips turned into a tight line. She stared at her son, making Wang Lu face her with what she said.

”Don’t tell me you’re still clinging on your ex-wife.”

Wagn Lu’s fingers stopped typing. He looked at his mother as if she had hit a bull’s eye, making his mother shake her head in disappointment as Wang Lu’s reaction had already said a lot.

”I knew it. I knew that you–“

”Mom, stop.”

This time, Wang Lu had no more energy to fight against his mother. He sighed as he stared straight back at her eyes, his words firm as he talked again.

”I want you to leave me alone to work. Please.”

With Wang Lu diverting his attention on his laptop once more, his mother just heaved another sigh as she stood up abruptly, the chair that she sat on making noise as she did.

”Fine. If the company falls, then it would be your fault.”

With her heels clacking on his office floor and with the door closing right behind her, Wang Lu released a sigh of relief as his mother had now finally left the room.

Wang Lu stopped typing for a while as he slumped on his chair, not caring about his posture. He felt his head aching now that his mother left the office.

He took the glass of water from his table. He opened his drawer to get some of his medicine to ease his headache. He popped the pill inside, drank the water, then pinched the bridge of his nose afterward as he closed his eyes.

’Mother can be so condescending… why doesn’t she just mind her own business?’

Wang Lu opened his eyes as he stared out the window. He didn’t have thoughts of getting married as the memory of his ex-wife still lingered.

But then, if he didn’t want to get married, he would have to look for alternate ways to boost their company without the involvement of marriage. He would have to look for ways not to be involved with his fiance.

”Mr. Wang Lu?”

A knock sounded from his door. When Wang Lu heard his assistant’s voice, he came back to his senses, signaling his assistant to enter the office.

”Come in.”

With the signal heard, his assistant opened the door. The assistant entered the room then walked in front of his boss’s desk. The moment he was in front of him, he gave a small bow and handed him a folder.

”Someone has been stalking Yan Mei in the shadows, Mr. Wang.”

”What?”

Hearing this from his assistant, it was as if Wang Lu had woken up from his peaceful sleep. His body was on full alert as he opened the folder, revealing Yan Mei’s stalker.

He took the photo in his hand, and when his eyes and mind had finally adjusted, he remembered who the man in the picture was.

Due to his shock, the photo fell on the floor. His hands started trembling as his heart also started racing in fear.

’I thought I killed this man? How can he be alive?’
