Chapter Youre cheap only for these.
With a slight cough, Claudia pushes the car door open and comes down with a smile： “Long time no see, Yu Zheng.”
Yu Zheng collectes himself and nods with joy, “Long time no see, I didn’t think you still remember me. Claudia, it has really been long time.”
“How can I not remember?” Claudia brushes her hair with fingers and winks playfully at him： “I will never forget your romantic confession.”
Confession.
Claudia’s words plugs Yu Zheng into some distant? memories.
“You didn’t agree anyway.” He whispers and then frowns. The topic does not start very well.
Fortunately, Claudia does not answer, but smiles faintly.
“I see your co－pilot’s door is not closed, which is very unsafe.” manages to find another topic, Yu Zheng says.
“Ah, yes.” Claudia is shy： “I’ll close it right away.”
“Let me do it.” Yu Zheng walks to the co－pilot side and helps her close the door. “Claudia, can I have your contact information? No? other? meaning, I, I just…”
Before he finishes speaking, Claudia smiles and says, “Yes, why not?”
They leave numbers for each other. Claudia says goodbye to Yu Zheng and drives away.
The man from the rearview mirror is getting farther and farther away until he becomes a small dot, mottles and disappears.
Yu Zheng represents the short years of innocence she once had, but those years has long gone.
As the car drives to YuanYang, Claudia does not have much time to mourn the lost youth and so on.
Life has to go on. She cannot escape the responsibility she bears.
While waiting for a traffic light, the phone rings.
Looking at the caller ID, she quickly wears the Bluetooth headset and answers.
Now that she is awake, and can no longer turn against him. There is no good of it.
“Hello.”
This sound is charming and tactful.
Anyone can hear ingratiation in it.
“Are you happy?”
But at the other end, Wen throws a question that stuns Claudia.
“Hmm? What do you mean?”
“Are you happy to meet your old lover?”
Slender fingers tap gently on his legs. Wen reads Yu Zheng’s information, “Deputy General Manager of XinYong Commercial Loan. Graduated from S university, the same term as you. And the two of you were called golden couple at school. He once confessed to you in sophomore year, but you rejected him?”
Wen is not the kind of person who gossips. Claudia listens quietly and does not answer the question immediately.
To subdue the activity with serenity, she can at least break even if she is not able to win.
“Why?”
“What why?”
“Why didn’t you accept him?” His tone sounds so careless, but Claudia has already recognized the surge hidden under the carelessness.
“Why else, because I went onto your bed that day.”This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org: ©.
The laughter comes through the cellphone. It is not sincere, but he should be more relaxed.
Claudia also breathes a sigh of relief and jokes with him： “If it weren’t for going to your bed, I would have agreed. Maybe I might have children now. Think about the romance, roses and fireworks that day, I kind of regret it…”
Before she finishes speaking, the caller hangs up.
Curling her lips, Claudia rolls her eyes and sings in a good mood.

In the office.
Claudia refutes all the planning department’s projects. She pinches between her eyebrows and looks at the planning department manager. “Can’t you pay more attention? How do you have the nerve to take out this kind of rubbish?”
“I’m sorry, Ms. Claudia, I, I will…”
“Of course you will do it again!” After yelling, she takes a deep breath and adjusts her mood. “I know the time given to you is a little short, but you know, we don’t have that much time.”
“Yes, Ms. Claudia, yes.”
“I will give you one more day, I hope you can come up with a useful plan, understand?”
“Yes, I got it”
“Now you can leave.”
She really doesn’t feel like going home in this mood. Dealing with Pamela and Martha is enough unbearable for her, not to mention others.
After giving Albert a call, Claudia returns to her small apartment.
Lying relaxed on the sofa, she is about to take a nap and the doorbell rings suddenly.
