Stunned, Su Feng’ao loosened his hands. At this moment, Mu Jiuyue slipped down from his arms. Placing her arms around herself, she tramped hard on his foot and gave him a glare, “Rascal.”

Then, she took to her heels before Su Feng’ao could realize what had happened.

Su Feng’ao gazed at her receding back in the streetlight until it was out of sight.

Mu Jiuyue rushed into her room and locked the door, sighing with relief eventually.

The redness on her face had not faded. Looking down at her breast, she gritted her teeth, “Asshole.”

A few days passed.

When completing the document, Mu Jiuyue printed it out, and then walked towards the President’s Office, the dark circles under her eyes so prominent.

She stood somewhat lazily at the lift door and pinched her brows wearily.

She decided to have a square meal when the cooperation was over!

“Ding!” The lift opened. Mu Jiuyue raised her eyes, but paused her steps when meeting the gaze of the person inside. The exhaustion on her face immediately disappeared.

Wasn’t this the ex-girlfriend who dared to dump Su Feng’ao?

There were only two of them in the lift. When the door opened on the top floor, Mu Jiuyue was ready to get off. So was Ye Ning’an at the same moment. They almost bumped into each other.

Ye Ning’an looked with surprise at Mu Jiuyue, threw a glance at the folder in her hand, smiled and turned sideways.

Mu Jiuyue just cast a glance at her and went straight out.

Mu Jiuyue walked quickly and it wasn’t long before she arrived at the office.

She knocked on the door and went inside.

“Uncle Su, please take a look!” Mu Jiuyue hurried forward to put the paper in front of him and seated herself.

She was indeed so tired that she didn’t want to move at all, slumping limply at the table.

Su Feng’ao glanced at her and then turned his sight to the document in front.

The afternoon sun shone brightly through the French windows, giving both of them a cosy feeling.  

After Ye Ning’an knocked on the door and walked into the office, she saw the scene.

In the sunlight, the tall man was working at his table, his shadow cast on the petite girl lying opposite, as if to shade her. This scene was quite annoying for Ye Ning’an.

Ye Ning’an’s fingers trembled slightly, but on her face was still a graceful smile. “Feng’ao.”

Su Feng’ao raised his head and nodded, “Um.”

Mu Jiuyue had surely run herself into the ground and went to sleep soon, not even noticing the comer.

“Mu Jiuyue.” Su Feng’ao knocked on the table. Mu Jiuyue was instantly awakened by the sound.

“Huh?” Mu Jiuyue, who had just woken up, was still a bit dazed and looked at Su Feng’ao blankly.

His sharp eyes narrowed and his thin lips tightened, “This is not the place for you to sleep.”

“Uncle Su, you see! The dark circles under my eyes! Why can’t I just nap for a while?” After figuring out what he said, Mu Jiuyue glared angrily, and deliberately stepped forward, signaling him to look at her eyes.

‘This man is so petty!’

“Feng’ao...”

Mu Jiuyue, in a frenzy of rage, was unaware that there was another person in the office, and subconsciously looked over after hearing the voice.

Seeing that it was Ye Ning’an, she immediately came to the realization that they even came together.

“Oh, there comes a beautiful lady.” Mu Jiuyue winked at Su Feng’ao, immediately straightened her back and sat still.

Ye Ning’an smiled to Mu Jiuyue when meeting her eyes.

“Is this what you made at the expense of your sleeping?” Su Feng’ao’s hand rested on the document, his slender fingers moving slightly, and he interrupted the eye contact between the two women , “If so, I think you might as well go to sleep for it’s a waste of time!”

When his words fell in Mu Jiuyue’s ears, her face instantly went red, not from shyness, but from anger.

‘How can he embarrass me like this?’

However, not noticing her emotions in the slightest, Su Feng’ao turned his hand and put the document in front of Mu Jiuyue, and said coldly, “Do it again.”

“Uncle Su, before you ask me to redo it, you need to tell me the problems on the paper, don’t you? You can’t treat me with discrimination!” Mu Jiuyue said with a mutinous expression. She couldn’t believe she had done it so badly!

“Discrimination?” Su Feng’ao snorted.

“Or what?” Mu Jiuyue stared at Su Feng’ao in a rage, “Uncle Su, if it were anyone else, would you be so harsh?”

“Not only is your plan hackneyed, but the financial data are all wrong. Did you have your math taught by a PE teacher?” The man’s thin lips moved slightly, and the words spat from between his icy lips were piercing.

“Impossible!” Mu Jiuyue subconsciously denied it, because all the data had been carefully checked!

Lifting his eyebrows, Su Feng’ao made no further statements.

At this moment, Mu Jiuyue felt a tinge of uneasiness surging from her heart.

She quickly flipped it open. Then she became more embarrassed when looking through the document. After finally closing the papers, she gritted her teeth. ‘It’s really embarrassing now!’

“Well?” Su Feng’ao raised his brows slightly.

Mu Jiuyue didn’t answer. Su Feng’ao glanced at her face, and his words changed as he was about to say something, “Go out now.”

“Wait.” Ye Ning’an suddenly spoke, which attracted the attention of the two people.

“Feng’ao, is she the one in charge of the cooperation between Su Group and Ye’s?” Ye Ning’an inquired with a smile.

Su Feng’ao nodded his head, “Yes.”

“Miss Ye, do you have any instructions?” Mu Jiuyue was a bit annoyed as the feeling of being humiliated in front of people was really unbearable.

“Not instructions, it’s just...” Wearing a smile, Ye Ning’an shook her head.

Her eyes turned to Su Feng’ao and her rosy lips opened, “Feng’ao, she is still a newcomer. Isn’t it inappropriate for her to be in charge of such an important project?”

“What’s your opinion?” Su Feng’ao didn’t answer Ye Ning’an, but instead passed the question to Mu Jiuyue.

A flicker of anger flashed across Mu Jiuyue’s face, but then she immediately put on a smiling face, “Is Miss Ye questioning President Su’s decision?”

She could question her own ability, but no one else could!

“It’s just a suggestion.” Ye Ning’an faintly frowned.

The office turned into a war zone. Su Feng’ao sat at his desk, looking at them with no trace of emotions in his eyes.

“Miss Ye, our Su Group has always had high expectations of our employees. As for the cooperation with Ye Group, you can rest assured that both parties will be satisfied then.”

His meaning was already obvious. The person in charge wouldn’t be changed!

Ye Ning’an’s face froze. When she caught sight of Mu Jiuyue’s smug expression, a hint of unknown emotion flashed under her eyes, but her smile was restored quickly, “Of course, everything will go smoothly when Su Group is in charge.”

“Miss Ye, I’d also like to make a suggestion to you.” Mu Jiuyue said slowly.

Ye Ning’an had an ominous feeling in her heart, and only heard a clear voice from the opposite side, “I heard that the older you get, the more things you will be worried about. Miss Ye, you should take good care of yourself.”

Mu Jiuyue’s words were devastating. She was satirizing Ye Ning’an’s age!

Her fists clenched, and the smile on her face instantly disappeared. She coldly looked at Mu Jiuyue, but made no answer.

“Enough said. Get out.” Su Feng’ao said impassively, not allowing Mu Jiuyue to continue.

Mu Jiuyue opened her mouth and still wanted to say something, but was silenced by the look of Su Feng’ao.

She was slightly displeased, but finally gave in and shot a swift glance at Ye Ning’an beside her as she went out. Then she grunted coldly and strutted out with her head up high.

An early morning.

Mu Jiuyue came back from a run, showered, and then stood in front of the mirror. Looking at the heavily dark circles under her eyes, she was worried.

“Crap, how can I go out and meet others like this!” Mu Jiuyue wailed, ‘I should never have stayed up so late yesterday!’

“You will be my king, and I will be your castle...” The phone she had placed on the bed rang. She hurried to reach for it and answered the call.

“Hello? Who is that?” Mu Jiuyue asked in a casual tone, the movement in her hands not stopping.

“Jiuyue, forgot me so soon? That’s heartbreaking.” On the other end of the phone came a light laugh, and the voice was magnetic and attractive. She was surprised, a flash of ecstasy showing in her eyes, “Qiao You!”

At the airport in City A, a man pushing a suitcase with his hand was talking on the phone, a gentle smile lingering on his face.

“Well, it’s me.” Qiao You was wreathed in smiles. It had been 3 years since he saw the girl.

“Why are you calling me at this hour? Shouldn’t it be late at night in your place?” Mu Jiuyue twittered and asked several questions, and Qiao You was not at all impatient.

“I’m back in City A, do you have time this evening? Miss Mu, would I have the honor to invite you to dinner?” The first thing he did when he got off the plane was to call her. But Qiao You frowned slightly at the thought of the arrangement by Mr. Mu.

‘Su Feng’ao is not a nice man. I really don’t know whether the little girl would be bullied by him or not.’

This was the best news Mu Jiuyue had heard these days. The corners of her mouth curved and she smiled brightly, “Yes! Why are you going back, brother? Grandpa said you are still studying in Britain.”

With excitement, Mu Jiuyue suddenly noticed the clock beside her, and changed her expression suddenly. “Brother! I have to hang up now. I’ll get back to you later, or else I’ll be late for work!”

Mu Jiuyue did not wait for his answer and hurriedly hung up the phone. Then she casually picked up the bag next to her, and rushed outside.

Qiao You heard a beeping sound on the other end of the line. He looked at his phone, with a slight smile on his face, “She is always that rash.”

Within the Marketing Department, everyone was busily engaged in their work.

Mu Jiuyue sat down on a seat with a pale face and bit her lips tightly, one hand covering her stomach.

‘Oops, I forgot my period!’

She glanced around, arching her back and walking slowly toward the bathroom.

“Oh, my.” Halfway down the road, she really couldn’t help holding on to the wall next to her. Then she crouched down on the ground, breaking out into a cold sweat.

“What are you doing?”

Mu Jiuyue was in pain when a familiar voice suddenly came to her ears. She subconsciously turned back and her face froze.

Su Feng’ao stood in the middle of the crowd, with Qin San and a group of executives following him, and in front of him was the head of the Marketing Department, Yu Jie, her superior .

The director frowned and reprimanded her, “Mu Jiuyue, it’s work time. What are you wandering around here for?”

“Mu Jiuyue? Is she the Miss Mu who went bankrupt?” Some people in the crowd recognized Mu Jiuyue and subconsciously looked at Su Feng’ao.

Wasn’t she Mr. Su’s former fiancée?
