It was Lu Ting.

Fang Xin looked at him, dazed.

This face had appeared repeatedly in her dreams, but at this moment when he is standing in front of her in real life, she felt as though she was dreaming.

Fang Xin nearly jumped out of her skin.

Could this be the so-called the more your fear something, the more it would be?

She blinked to make sure that she wasn’t hallucinating. She took the little ones, turned around and left.

A few steps in, her wrist was grabbed by the man.

“Where are you going?”

Lu Ting’s cold voice rang in Fang Xin’s ears, like someone throwing a pebble in a pond, instantly causing ripples to flow outwards.

Fang Xin restrained her pounding heart, frayed nerves and made her voice appear cold and calm.

“You’ve got the wrong person.”

The hand holding her wrist suddenly tightened. The scorching fingertips were like an electric current, burning Fang Xin’s skin.

In the next second, the same hand moved in front of her and removed her sunglasses.

Fang Xin looked into the black eyes looking at her, unprepared.

The man’s eyes were like bottomless pools. The moment their eyes met, a familiar feeling surged in her heart. Fang Xin felt as if she had returned to five years ago.

“Do you think you can still deceive me?”

Lu Ting looked at her fixedly and said her name word by word, “Fang… Xin.”

Fang Xin was at a loss for words. She had never thought that she would see Lu Ting again. Naturally, she was not prepared for any meeting or him questioning her.

The moment she saw him, she lost all her senses.

She wanted to pull back her hand, but Lu Ting held it tightly, so tight that there was no chance for her to break free.

“Alright.”

Fang Xin adjusted her breathing, lowered her eyes, and said faintly.

“As you can see, the three of them are my children. If you are asking me about what happened five years ago, I can only tell you that this was the outcome. I have nothing else to say.”

Lu Ting’s breathing stopped. Even though he had mentally prepared himself, when he heard Fang Xin say these words, he still felt as if his heart had been pricked by a fine needle.

A dense and sharp pain radiated from the depths of his heart.

Five years had passed, and Fang Xin had another man’s children.

What exactly happened five years ago?

“Fang Xin, I know you want to bring down Fang Corporation. Are you sure you don’t need my help?”

Lu Ting looked straight at Fang Xin. His voice was cold and inexplicably authoritative. “Who else can you ask for help except me?”

Fang Xin was a little surprised. She didn’t expect Lu Ting to know the purpose of her return. “How did you know…”

Lu Ting glanced at Fang Jin and Fang Yan. Only then did Fang Xin realize that she had been betrayed by her own sons.

Fang Xin wasn’t surprised that they knew and contacted Lu Ting. After all, her children were all extremely intelligent.

But…

She had betrayed Lu Ting first, she would be too ashamed to ask for his help now.

Fang Xin avoided Lu Ting’s gaze and lowered her eyes. “I can take care of it myself.”

“Are you sure?”

Lu Ting narrowed his eyes and took a step forward, closing in on Fang Xin.

The distance between the two of them, which was already close, narrowed further. They were so close that they could feel each other’s breath.

If Fang Xin hadn’t taken a prompt step back, the tip of her nose would have hit his lips.
