Chapter 6 — It's Too Late to Kneel Down

Updated 10/08/2026 3 min read

I didn't need to turn around to know who was coming. Chu Tung Dan. He wore a hand-tailored Armani suit, the tailored cut accentuating his broad shoulders and long legs, still as handsome and arrogant as ever. When entering, his demeanor was leisurely, his chin was slightly raised, his eyes swept across the entire hall, carrying an innate pride. And walking right next to him, was a lost figure that didn't fit in at all - Ly Mo Suong. She was clearly wearing makeup, wearing a white lace bodycon dress from a mid-range luxury brand, with a layered skirt, giving off a kind of cheap "fairy" aura. Standing in this context, she looks a bit homely and narrow-minded. Even though she had meticulous makeup on her face, she couldn't hide the excitement in her eyes. Regardless of the fact that Mrs. Chu fired her, Chu Tung Dan continued to hire her. Chu Tung Dan stopped at the edge of the crowd, slightly curling the corners of his lips and smiling at me. I read the satisfaction in his eyes. He did it on purpose. Chu Tung Dan thought that I argued with him because I was jealous because he was close to another woman. He felt that I was not generous enough, narrow-minded, and meticulous, so today he intentionally left me behind and took his female secretary to such an important event. He thought that would make me even more jealous and crazy, thereby punishing me. What stupidity and complacency! The appearance of Chu Tung Dan and Ly Mo Suong, without a doubt, is like throwing another stone into the already magical lake of public opinion. The eyes of all the people around immediately became complicated. Haomen is an airtight wall, but rumors inside the wall spread very quickly. The people present here have more or less heard rumors about me and Chu Tung Dan having a falling out. Seeing the scene before my eyes at this moment, it seemed to confirm even more that there had been an emotional rift between him and me. Chu Tung Dan didn't care about those looks, leisurely greeting a few acquaintances, as if bringing a female secretary to this event was as normal as weighing sugar in a milk carton. As for Ly Mo Suong, she tried to stand up straight, acting like she was very confident. But her slightly trembling fingers betrayed the guilt in her heart. After all, wild chickens are still just wild chickens. If you add a few colorful feathers, do you think you are a phoenix? I withdrew my gaze and continued chatting with the person next to me, treating those two as uninteresting backgrounds. However, the tree wanted to be quiet but the wind did not stop. Ly Mo Suong's eyes still cling to me. In those eyes there was jealousy, unwillingness, and provocation. Out of the corner of my eye, I saw her holding a glass of wine, pretending to accidentally approach me. I knew she was planning to do something again, but I didn't avoid it. I have experienced all the turmoil in the business world, fighting with countless forces. Today I'm just an ordinary woman without any power, what's there to avoid? Just as she was about to walk past me, Ly Mo Suong staggered - That glass of wine didn't move a bit, splashing the entire thing onto the hem of my dress. The dark red liquid splashed on the silk background, making it dazzling to look at. Ly Mo Suong quickly covered her mouth. Tears quickly flowed out, his voice was small and trembling: "Boss Do, I'm sorry! I really didn't mean it!" She pretended to be frightened and innocent, her hands clasped together, like a frightened white rabbit. All eyes around were focused in this direction. Chu Tung Dan obviously also noticed the situation here and quickly walked over.

“What's going on?”

His voice was usually low, but mixed with a bit of impatience.
