In the afternoon before everyone gets off work, the editorial department had a small meeting. The Chief Editor expressed her concern in the meeting about the progress of Teacher Xing Xin's manuscript, which made Lan Ning felt a little pressured. She felt that if she did not successful receive the manuscript by the 15th, the Chief Editor is going to give her a hard time.

After the meeting, everyone packed their stuff to get ready to go home. Lan Ning went straight on QQ, and sent numerous reminders to submit the manuscript to Yan Ru Yu before she turned off the computer to go home.

Reaching downstairs of the company, Lan Ning as usual headed towards the subway station to take the subway home. Suddenly, she was stopped when a man greeted her, "Lan Ning."

Lan Ning stopped and looked. She was almost blinded by the flash of Yu Mu Yuan's smile.

Lan Ning pulled her mouth and pretended not to see him. She quickly walked towards the subway station. However, Yu Mu Yuan kept up with Lan Ning and explained while walking alongside her, "I apologize for yesterday. I didn't control my emotions, and I've said some words that I should not have said. I hope you don't mind."

Lan Ning impatiently frowned, "How did you know I'm here?"

Yu Mu Yuan smiled, "If you really want to know a person, this level of information is not hard to find."

...Very well! Do not let her find out who betrayed her. Or else, the person will never have a chance to explain.

"Yesterday I'm really sorry. I should not have said that. When we met in university, I knew you pretty well, so you're not that kind of person."

Lan Ning finally stopped and laughed at him mockingly, "Back then, I also didn't see you as a piece of rubbish!"

Yu Mu Yuan's face suddenly changed and became a little ugly. His mouth gently moved, seemed to want to explain further. Lan Ning stepped in and began, "People will change. You might think that I'm pure and lovely like before, but now I'm not. The person you saw yesterday is indeed my boyfriend. I'm now heading to his house."

Yu Mu Yuan face became even uglier. Lan Ning continued, "You and I have broken up for over three years. Isn't it good if we don't bother with each other's life? You are so wrapped up with me, what does that mean? To tell you the truth, you have the ability. The time you used to find me, you may have changed several girlfriends."

"You...!" Yu Mu Yuan exclaimed angrily.

Lan Ning sneered, "Remember the time you went for the trip to Indonesia? You asked me to help you buy the tickets. Later, I learned that you went with your girlfriend from abroad."

Yu Mu Yuan suddenly became speechless.

Lan Ning looked at him mockingly and carried her bag before walking away. She did not expect that Yu Mu Yuan would follow her to the subway. Lan Ning could only squeeze at the other end of the subway while frowning.

Coming out of the subway, she took the bus. Yu Mu Yuan still unyieldingly followed her.

Lan Ning felt very stuffy but did not want to upset him further, so she remained at the far end. As they were approaching the residential area of Yan Ru Yu, at the last moment before the bus closed the door, Lan Ning quickly got off the bus.

Hah... Finally successfully got rid of Yu Mu Yuan.

A few seconds later, Lan Ning saw the bus slowing down. Then, the back door opened, and Yu Mu Yuan came down from the bus.

Lan Ning, "..."

He is so dedicated in following her for what? Has she not paid her debts from the last generation?
