“…” Qi Chenglin could not bear it anymore. His mouth twitched as he grit his teeth and said, “Qi Youxuan, enough is enough. Where did you learn all this nonsense?”
Qi Youxuan guiltily pursed his lips for a while before raising his volume and saying in an even louder voice, “Don’t try to stray from the topic. I will surely tell Great-Grandma about this. Let her educate you properly!”
Meanwhile, Qi Youxuan took out his kid’s phone from his little duck bag and called the number of the manor.
Aunt Liu answered the call and Qi Chenglin heard Qi Youxuan saying, “Nanny Liu, where is my great-grandma?”
After this, Qi Youxuan kept quiet. It looked like he was waiting for Grandmother Qi to pick up the phone.
“Great-Grandma.” Qi Chenglin snatched Qi Youxuan’s phone before he could complete his sentence. At this point, Qi Chenglin had already parked his car on the roadside. He hung up and threw the phone onto the front passenger seat before coolly stating, “Don’t try to look for trouble!”
“I hate you, Dad!” Qi Youxuan was enraged. He could not move freely since the seatbelt of his safety seat was fastened. He tried his best to stretch his legs out to kick the back of the driver seat but could not reach them with his short legs. Therefore, he could only kick the front passenger seat.
Qi Chenglin stopped his car again. He turned his head to face the back and glared fiercely at him. “Are you still being rude to me?”
Qi Youxuan puffed up his cheeks and looked pitiful. “I am doing this for your own good, how can you treat me so harshly!”
Qi Chenglin felt regret and his anger faded when he looked at the little kid’s big red eyes and saw tears welled up inside. He lowered his voice and replied, “Okay okay, I——”
The kid’s phone with a Totoro design on the front passenger seat suddenly rang and interrupted Qi Chenglin’s speech. The ringtone was the music from the opening scene of the Detective Conan animation. Qi Chenglin took a glance at it and saw that the caller ID read ‘Old manor of Qi’s Family’. It must have been Grandmother Qi who was returning his call from the old manor.
He picked up the phone and answered it. He saw Qi Youxuan pouting sulkily, but he had stopped kicking the back of the seat.
“Great-Grandma,” greeted Qi Chenglin.
“…”
“No, he is losing his temper.” Qi Chenglin glimpsed at Qi Youxuan.
After hearing what his father said, Qi Youxuan eagerly explained, “I am not losing my temper, Great-Grandma. It was because my dad was not treating his partner properly. Aunt Ruan is such a nice person, but he offended her and shouted at me when I was just giving him some advice!”
Qi Youxuan shouted as loud as he could because he was afraid that Grandmother Qi could not hear what he was saying. The loud voice caused Qi Chenglin’s ears to hurt.
He covered the ear which was not pressed against the phone as Grandmother Qi also started yelling, “What is happening, you little brat, are you thinking of not getting married! You did not marry before because you were worried it may affect Youxuan, but thankfully Youxuan likes Xiao Ruan too. How could you make her angry? What were you thinking? Come back now, I’m going to teach you a lesson!”
Qi Chenglin moved the phone further away from his ear and glared at Qi Youxuan angrily. “Grandma, it’s not like this, I——”
“Do you like Xiao Ruan or not? Tell me! That day I saw your attitude toward her was utterly different compared to the way you treat others. You never criticize others so sharply. You’re like a child, the more you like her, the more you try to irritate her, right? Qi Chenglin, how old are you now? How could you be so childish, even making your son worry about you! You’re really something!” Grandmother Qi was extremely anxious, she wished she could act as the matchmaker for them.
“Grandma, I am driving now, I think I have to hang up. Oh, someone is honking me,” replied Qi Chenglin as he honked his horn two times and hung up the phone.
He threw Qi Youxuan’s Totoro phone aside and saw Qi Youxuan gazing scornfully at him.
“…” Qi Chenglin.
…
…
After Grandmother Qi hung up the phone, her expression was not at all serious the way she had been when talking to Qi Chenglin on the phone. She looked pleased with herself and was humming ” The Coolest Ethnic Trend 1 “.
“I think something is going on between Chenglin and Xiao Ruan.” Grandmother Qi sat down. She wore her presbyopic glasses and started embroidering slowly by using the cross-stitch technique.
“You could sense that just by listening to him on the phone?” Grandfather Qi teased her. “I think you are a budding sorceress.”
Grandmother Qi clicked her tongue in response. “Do you know what your second grandson said when I asked him whether he likes Xiao Ruan?”
“What second grandson, it’s not nice to call him that!” Grandfather Qi rolled his eyes at her, but then he turned his body and craned his neck toward her. “What did he say?”
“He said nothing!” Grandmother Qi slapped her thigh. “Just think about your grandson’s character, wouldn’t he tell me immediately if he didn’t like her? However, he said nothing and tried to change the topic, after that he found an excuse to hang up the phone. He wouldn’t have done that if he felt nothing for her, right?”
Grandfather Qi sluggishly sat his body upright and nodded in agreement. It was rare for them to share the same opinion.
…
…
Song Yu saw Qi Chengzhi sitting cross-legged when she came out of the bathroom after bathing. His legs appeared to be very long even when he was crossing them.
Qi Chengzhi stretched his arm out and gestured at her, but it did not seem like he was asking for anything in particular.
“What?” Song Yu walked toward him and gave him her hand. Before she knew it, he had pulled her into bed.
Qi Chengzhi patted the bed. “Lie here, you stood for so long in the kitchen today. Let me give you a massage.”
“Do you know how to do it?” Song Yu looked at him suspiciously. She was already satisfied that he could cook, it was unlikely that he knew how to give a massage as well.
Qi Chengzhi wanted to take off her clothes, including her pants and underwear. However, Song Yu was gripping onto them, not allowing him to take them off. Qi Chengyue’s clear voice called out from behind her. “Stop being difficult. How can I massage you if you do not remove your clothes?”
Only then did Song Yu obediently withdraw her hands. She could hear Qi Chengzhi rubbing his palms together before she finally felt some warm essential oil being sprayed on her back and thighs.
Surprisingly, he knew that he needed to warm the oil first. After this, Qi Chengzhi started his massage. The amount of strength he applied was just nice, and Song Yu really enjoyed it. She could feel a mild amount of pain, and every movement he made was spot on.
“I was not expecting this. How do you know how to give a massage?” Asked Song Yu in amazement. She felt that her whole body was loosened up after getting massaged by him.
“I was told that ladies late into their pregnancies are prone to having leg cramps, and it would be hard for them to move around – even rising from the chair could prove demanding. So, I searched for videos about that from the internet. I even asked my secretaries to help me buy two bottles of essential oil to prevent stretch marks. The staff in the secretary office who were pregnant before say that if you rub it on your tummy when it starts to get bigger, it will prevent the stretch marks you usually get after giving birth,” replied Qi Chengzhi. He poured some oil onto his hand and started to rub it between his palms to warm it up before he started to massage Song Yu’s legs.
When she thought about how he was using his good-looking hands to massage her, she turned her head and glimpsed at him. She extended her arm to pinch his knee.
Qi Chengzhi immediately knew what she was thinking. He leaned in closer and asked with a smile, “Why?”
Song Yu gave him a sweet and gentle smile. She raised her head and quickly pecked him on the lips. “Hubby, you are the best.”
Qi Chengzhi’s arm was resting on her lower back as his pupil suddenly contracted. He began rubbing her back and returned the kiss.
He was kissing her deeply and forcefully, causing Song Yu to change her position until she was lying on her side. He pushed her back and she turned until her tummy was pressed tightly against his body.
Qi Chengzhi was breathing heavily as he weakened the force he was using a little and licked her tongue. “I haven’t finish massaging, I’ll kiss you properly later,” said Qi Chengzhi while biting her lips.
Song Yu blushed and returned to her original position. She rested her forehead on her forearms and buried her head into her arms.
Qi Chengzhi inadvertently grinned. His long bony fingers pushed her soft long hair aside, revealing her ear and neck. He saw that her ear was red and that the heat had spread to her neck.
Qi Chengzhi took another look and saw that her neck, back, and toes had all turned red as well. There were even some red goosebumps at the back of her neck behind her earlobe.
Her body was emitting the fragrant smell of the essential oil. He leaned closer and could smell the aroma of her shampoo and body wash mixed with the scent of her natural body aroma.
Qi Chengzhi could not help but peck at the patches of goosebumps on the back of her neck. He could feel Song Yu quivering intermittently as the blush of her skin became more vibrant.
“Do you know that when you blush, your whole body turns red as well?” Qi Chengzhi was rubbing her ears against his blazing hot lips while he whispered into her ears with his husky voice.
Song Yu buried her head deeper, her scalp and cheeks feeling numb. She lowered her head and said with a trembling voice, “Aren’t you going to continue massaging me?”
“Sure, afterward let me see if the front of your body is also as red as the back.” Qi Chengzhi was using his lips to caress the area around her hairline and the back of her ear as Song Yu felt a burning heat surge through her body.
His words made Song Yu’s mind go numb. She whispered, “Rascal.”
Qi Chengzhi laughed softly beside her ears. His deep and hoarse voice caused her heart to jump – it sounded like someone plucking the strings of a violin with his fingertips.
“Can you stop laughing like this?” said Song Yu, whose heart was now beating rapidly.
“Isn’t my voice nice?” Qi Chengzhi mumbled. His confidence sometimes irritated others, it was if he thought that his voice was pleasing to the ears.
“…” Song Yu was out of words. Moments later, she replied with her cheeks and ears flushed, “It’s too beautiful and seductive.”
“If you continue talking like this, I won’t be able to stop myself from entering via the backdoor.” Qi Chengzhi’s voice became hoarser.
“…” Song Yu.
Qi Chengzhi stopped teasing her. He would undoubtedly be the one to surrender if this continued.
He sat up again and massaged her calves. Song Yu felt that the alluring atmosphere was like that of a violin string that had been stretched to its breaking point. At this point, even the air in the room was blisteringly hot.
Song Yu difficultly swallowed her saliva and spoke, but was shocked by her voice which had become hoarse and sexy.
She hurriedly cleared her throat and said again, “You were discussing these kinds of things with the female staff of the secretary office?”
Qi Chengzhi went back to using the initial amount of force as he teasingly asked while he continued to massage her, “Are you jealous?”
“Nope,” replied Song Yu gently. “I heard that you were revered by the people in the company. It just didn’t look like you were the type who would have friendly chats with your subordinates, not to mention discussing topics regarding married women.”
Qi Chengzhi snorted. “Are you complimenting me or roasting me?”
“…” Song Yu whispered weakly, “I’m just saying.”
Qi Chengzhi helped Song Yu turned over to lie on her back. After this, Song Yu hastily pulled the blanket over to cover her body such that only her calves were exposed.
Qi Chengzhi held her feet in his hands and massaged the sole of her foot. His was especially calm and earnest. “I anonymously posted the questions in the company’s BBS.”
“…” Song Yu was momentarily speechless. “They surely knew it was you, right?”
“…” Qi Chengzhi would never tell her that they were all referring to him as director in their comments below his post.
As expected, there was lots of joking flattery. Someone commented, “Director is such a loving husband.” Another said, “Director, your feather avatar had already betrayed your identity, are you planning on having a child?”
Luo Yushu was the best flatterer. “Director, if Mrs Director and you give birth to a child, that would be the best of both worlds since you’re so handsome and Mrs Director is so pretty. All of us would be jealous of you. Director Han would be so worried if you are not joining his company.”
Finally, he simply admitted everything and commented, “Uh-huh, I was just asking beforehand so that I could make some preparations.”
After this, the comment section was again flooded with praise. Qi Chengzhi was pleased after reading them. He adjusted his tie and sat up straight in his chair.
Qi Chengzhi conveniently separated Song Yu’s leg and removed the blanket. “I have finished massaging you, now is the time to kiss properly.”
“…” Song Yu.
Immediately after this, Qi Chengzhi stifled her with a kiss.
…
…
The next morning, Qi Chengyue was driving her Audi TT into the carpark in front of Qilin. After she parked and got out of the car, she heard a honk.
She looked toward the direction of the noise and saw Cheng Dongge’s Touareg. He drove his car toward her and parked it in the parking spot beside her car.
She watched as Cheng Dongge parked his car and came out. She pretended to tuck some of her hair behind her ears while wondering how to greet Cheng Dongge.
They had officially started their relationship on Friday night. On Saturday, they had a meeting with both of their parents at the Qi Family manor. They went on a date on Sunday and went to Viewpark Residence. However, they had never discussed how they should interact in the company and whether they should make their relationship public.
At the moment, Qi Chengyue had no idea what to do, but she felt a surge of joy when she saw Cheng Dongge. Her mouth subconsciously curved upward into a sweet and cheerful smile. All she could see was his handsome face and tall figure as her heart began beating extraordinarily fast.
She nervously swallowed her saliva as he stared into her eyes, causing her to blush.
Qi Chengyue stood there without moving. She was waiting for him to approach her.
She saw that Cheng Dongge was fixing his gaze on her. As he walked toward her, two of their colleagues walked toward them together. They greeted him when they passed by, “Special Assistant Cheng.”
Cheng Dongge nodded his head at them.
Then, they loudly greeted her from afar too, “Miss Qi.”
Qi Chengyue nodded. As they were leaving the carpark, they noticed a few more Qilin’s staff pass by them one after another.
Qi Chengyue had no other choice but to greet him too, “Special Assistant Cheng.”
Cheng Dongge stopped and raised his eyebrows at her.
Qi Chengyu’s face turned red, she pouted sulkily and looked down at the ground.
Cheng Dongge gave her a smile and strode toward her with his long legs. His tall figure stopped in front of her as he looked downward at her.
Even when standing straight, Qi Chengyue could only reach his chest. With her head down, she now appeared to be even shorter.
“Why aren’t you looking at me? Feeling guilty?” Cheng Dongge teased her.
They were standing face-to-face and very close to each other in an area which clearly exceeded the boundaries of general familiarity. Nevertheless, Qi Chengyue did not notice this as she was extremely nervous.
However, the staff who were passing by noticed their awkward situation and curiously peeked at them.
However, Cheng Dongge was unbothered by them and reached out his arm to hold Qi Chengyue’s hand.
Qi Chengyue was startled but did not withdraw her hand. Finally, she looked up with an astounded expression as her face became flushed.
“There is nothing to hide, I’m just afraid that men who are not observant enough will come chasing after you.” Cheng Dongge narrowed his eyes when he thought of the Brabus he saw that day. The person driving it looked like Li Zhuohui.
For this reason, he had dug around and found out that he had just recently divorced. He felt like turning a table over upon hearing the news.
Qi Chengyue held his hand, but she dared not lift her head. The staff who passed by slowed down their footsteps as they did not dare to completely stop in their tracks and observe, instead trying their best to just march on the spot.
The staff dared not talk when Qi Chengyue and Cheng Dongge were still around. After they left whilst still holding hands, them onlookers would immediately start to discuss and gossip raucously.
However, the staff who saw them together in the carpark represented just a minority of the total workforce. The couple were unaware of the stir they would create when they walked into Qilin together.
The staff were mentally unprepared. They were stunned as their jaws dropped when they saw the unexpected couple stroll in together.
After they left, the staff immediately started to talk about it enthusiastically. “What just happened? Did I see incorrectly?”
“Special Assistant Cheng and Miss Qi, my god!”
“Qilin’s golden bachelor is now off limits just like that! They became single for a handful of days and are now off the market again in the blink of an eye. Why couldn’t they give others a chance?”
“Qilin’s female staff will be heartbroken!”
“Yeah, we thought that our time had come when Special Assistant Cheng became single. Who would have known… sheesh!”
“I’m so jealous of her. Miss Qi just got divorced a few days ago, and now she has found a man of excellent quality. How did she do it?”
The two of them walked to the elevator where many people were waiting to go up to their floors. After a while, Qi Chengyue slowly became used to their stares.
When they walked into the elevator, they were squeezed in with others. Qi Chengyue and Cheng Dongge stood close to each other as Cheng Dongge held her hand with one of his hands while shielding her with the other.
Qi Chengyue exited the elevator at a lower floor than Cheng Dongge. When the elevator stopped, Qi Chengyue pinched his arm and embarrassedly said, “I’ve reached my floor. I’m leaving now.”
“I’ll look for you in the afternoon,” replied Cheng Dongge with a smile.
Qi Chengyue shyly returned his smile and walked out of the elevator with her head lowered.
“Manager Qi, congratulations!” All her colleagues working on the floor – regardless of if they were from the financial affairs department or the other departments — congratulated her.
Qi Chengyue was too shy to thank them. She blushed and could only nod at them with a smile.
After she left, her colleagues whispered, “Manager Qi has changed after getting into a relationship with Special Assistant Cheng. Her temper became better and she looked cute when she was blushing.”
…
…
Today, Song Yu was also back in her office at Chengshi as her marriage leave was over.
She picked up Qi Chengzhi’s call and clicked to open the news. “Danchen, come over here and have a look at this.”
Ruan Danchen slid toward her in her office chair. She looked at Song Yu’s computer and saw the news. It read that Ruan Danchen was a qualified and responsible designer and that she had never used materials of inferior quality nor involved herself in shoddy work to make money illegally.
The news explained that there was some misunderstanding prior to this, and that the real culprit was the other person who was also in charge of the development project.
After reading the news, Song Yu and Ruan Danchen fell silent. They both knew that the person in question was actually helping Mu Sisi to frame Ruan Danchen by replacing the materials.
Although Mu Huaisheng was not necessarily looking for a scapegoat when he turned him over, he had simultaneously managed to cover up the things that Mu Sisi did. Ruan Danchen felt uneasy as the true culprit was left unscathed.
“I think, this is more credible than if Mu Huaisheng tried to explain that this was a misunderstanding without any evidence,” said Song Yu. Although she was not satisfied with the way Mu Huaisheng resolved the incident, he did fulfill his promise of guaranteeing that he would get Ruan Danchen out of trouble.
“We’ll have to see how it goes. Even though he has given them this explanation, if the clients still choose not to trust me, there’s nothing I can do about it.” Ruan Danchen closed the news report.
Song Yu pondered for a while and whispered, “Follow me.”
Once they were on the highest floor, Song Yu said, “At first, I did not intent to tell you about this, but to make you feel better, I’ll say it now.”
“What are you talking about?” Ruan Danchen asked. She was intrigued because Song Yu had cautiously brought her to the highest floor to talk to her.
“Chengzhi was planning to sue Mu Sisi and we are collecting evidence now. After this we will have to hand them to the authorities and have to wait for the trial date,” explained Song Yu, “So rest assured that the false accusations you face won’t be left unpunished.”
“Is it good to make such a big deal out of it?” Ruan Danchen was grimacing as she felt apologetic that they were doing all this just for her.
“It’s not only because of you, Chengzhi wanted to teach Mu Sisi a lesson. In fact, even if we sue her, it will be very hard to get her sentenced due to the influence of the Mu Family. Mu Sisi will eventually be freed, so don’t get your hopes too high. Chengzhi simply wanted to make clear to her that she should know her place and behave properly. He just wanted to make her feel troubled,” said Song Yu with a smile.
Ruan Danchen grinned involuntarily. “You have become more wicked after being with him for a long time! Before this, you would never attempt to disturb others like this!”
“Let’s go, now you should feel relieved during work. Let Chengzhi handle this, we won’t allow you to be taken advantage of.” Song Yu pulled her arm as they went back to their office. “However, how about you tell me what was going on between you and my husband’s cousin?”
“What do you mean?” Ruan Danchen was stunned before she began acting stupid.
“Stop pretending, both of you are interacting differently as compared to before. Even Grandmother noticed it.” Song Yu rolled her eyes. “Last night Cheng Dongge and Chengyue surely noticed it too. Are you still trying to pretend in front of me?”
“There is nothing going on, I don’t know him well either. He saw that Youxuan likes me and was afraid that I would use Youxuan to pursue him.” Ruan Danchen rolled her eyes and sneered. “Where did he get that confidence from?”
“He said that?” Song Yu stared at Ruan Danchen in surprise. “Chenglin is not that type of person. He is actually much more normal compared to Chengzhi.”

Qi Chengzhi went back to using the initial amount of force as he teasingly asked while he continued to massage her, “Are you jealous?”
“Nope,” replied Song Yu gently. “I heard that you were revered by the people in the company. It just didn’t look like you were the type who would have friendly chats with your subordinates, not to mention discussing topics regarding married women.”
Qi Chengzhi snorted. “Are you complimenting me or roasting me?”
“…” Song Yu whispered weakly, “I’m just saying.”
Qi Chengzhi helped Song Yu turned over to lie on her back. After this, Song Yu hastily pulled the blanket over to cover her body such that only her calves were exposed.
Qi Chengzhi held her feet in his hands and massaged the sole of her foot. His was especially calm and earnest. “I anonymously posted the questions in the company’s BBS.”
“…” Song Yu was momentarily speechless. “They surely knew it was you, right?”
“…” Qi Chengzhi would never tell her that they were all referring to him as director in their comments below his post.
As expected, there was lots of joking flattery. Someone commented, “Director is such a loving husband.” Another said, “Director, your feather avatar had already betrayed your identity, are you planning on having a child?”
Luo Yushu was the best flatterer. “Director, if Mrs Director and you give birth to a child, that would be the best of both worlds since you’re so handsome and Mrs Director is so pretty. All of us would be jealous of you. Director Han would be so worried if you are not joining his company.”
Finally, he simply admitted everything and commented, “Uh-huh, I was just asking beforehand so that I could make some preparations.”
After this, the comment section was again flooded with praise. Qi Chengzhi was pleased after reading them. He adjusted his tie and sat up straight in his chair.
Qi Chengzhi conveniently separated Song Yu’s leg and removed the blanket. “I have finished massaging you, now is the time to kiss properly.”
“…” Song Yu.
Immediately after this, Qi Chengzhi stifled her with a kiss.

The next morning, Qi Chengyue was driving her Audi TT into the carpark in front of Qilin. After she parked and got out of the car, she heard a honk.
She looked toward the direction of the noise and saw Cheng Dongge’s Touareg. He drove his car toward her and parked it in the parking spot beside her car.
She watched as Cheng Dongge parked his car and came out. She pretended to tuck some of her hair behind her ears while wondering how to greet Cheng Dongge.
They had officially started their relationship on Friday night. On Saturday, they had a meeting with both of their parents at the Qi Family manor. They went on a date on Sunday and went to Viewpark Residence. However, they had never discussed how they should interact in the company and whether they should make their relationship public.
At the moment, Qi Chengyue had no idea what to do, but she felt a surge of joy when she saw Cheng Dongge. Her mouth subconsciously curved upward into a sweet and cheerful smile. All she could see was his handsome face and tall figure as her heart began beating extraordinarily fast.
She nervously swallowed her saliva as he stared into her eyes, causing her to blush.
Qi Chengyue stood there without moving. She was waiting for him to approach her.
She saw that Cheng Dongge was fixing his gaze on her. As he walked toward her, two of their colleagues walked toward them together. They greeted him when they passed by, “Special Assistant Cheng.”
Cheng Dongge nodded his head at them.
Then, they loudly greeted her from afar too, “Miss Qi.”
Qi Chengyue nodded. As they were leaving the carpark, they noticed a few more Qilin’s staff pass by them one after another.
Qi Chengyue had no other choice but to greet him too, “Special Assistant Cheng.”
Cheng Dongge stopped and raised his eyebrows at her.
Qi Chengyu’s face turned red, she pouted sulkily and looked down at the ground.
Cheng Dongge gave her a smile and strode toward her with his long legs. His tall figure stopped in front of her as he looked downward at her.
Even when standing straight, Qi Chengyue could only reach his chest. With her head down, she now appeared to be even shorter.
“Why aren’t you looking at me? Feeling guilty?” Cheng Dongge teased her.
They were standing face-to-face and very close to each other in an area which clearly exceeded the boundaries of general familiarity. Nevertheless, Qi Chengyue did not notice this as she was extremely nervous.
However, the staff who were passing by noticed their awkward situation and curiously peeked at them.
However, Cheng Dongge was unbothered by them and reached out his arm to hold Qi Chengyue’s hand.
Qi Chengyue was startled but did not withdraw her hand. Finally, she looked up with an astounded expression as her face became flushed.
“There is nothing to hide, I’m just afraid that men who are not observant enough will come chasing after you.” Cheng Dongge narrowed his eyes when he thought of the Brabus he saw that day. The person driving it looked like Li Zhuohui.
For this reason, he had dug around and found out that he had just recently divorced. He felt like turning a table over upon hearing the news.
Qi Chengyue held his hand, but she dared not lift her head. The staff who passed by slowed down their footsteps as they did not dare to completely stop in their tracks and observe, instead trying their best to just march on the spot.
The staff dared not talk when Qi Chengyue and Cheng Dongge were still around. After they left whilst still holding hands, them onlookers would immediately start to discuss and gossip raucously.
However, the staff who saw them together in the carpark represented just a minority of the total workforce. The couple were unaware of the stir they would create when they walked into Qilin together.
The staff were mentally unprepared. They were stunned as their jaws dropped when they saw the unexpected couple stroll in together.
After they left, the staff immediately started to talk about it enthusiastically. “What just happened? Did I see incorrectly?”
“Special Assistant Cheng and Miss Qi, my god!”
“Qilin’s golden bachelor is now off limits just like that! They became single for a handful of days and are now off the market again in the blink of an eye. Why couldn’t they give others a chance?”
“Qilin’s female staff will be heartbroken!”
“Yeah, we thought that our time had come when Special Assistant Cheng became single. Who would have known… sheesh!”
“I’m so jealous of her. Miss Qi just got divorced a few days ago, and now she has found a man of excellent quality. How did she do it?”
The two of them walked to the elevator where many people were waiting to go up to their floors. After a while, Qi Chengyue slowly became used to their stares.
When they walked into the elevator, they were squeezed in with others. Qi Chengyue and Cheng Dongge stood close to each other as Cheng Dongge held her hand with one of his hands while shielding her with the other.
Qi Chengyue exited the elevator at a lower floor than Cheng Dongge. When the elevator stopped, Qi Chengyue pinched his arm and embarrassedly said, “I’ve reached my floor. I’m leaving now.”
“I’ll look for you in the afternoon,” replied Cheng Dongge with a smile.
Qi Chengyue shyly returned his smile and walked out of the elevator with her head lowered.
“Manager Qi, congratulations!” All her colleagues working on the floor – regardless of if they were from the financial affairs department or the other departments — congratulated her.
Qi Chengyue was too shy to thank them. She blushed and could only nod at them with a smile.
After she left, her colleagues whispered, “Manager Qi has changed after getting into a relationship with Special Assistant Cheng. Her temper became better and she looked cute when she was blushing.”
…
…
Today, Song Yu was also back in her office at Chengshi as her marriage leave was over.
She picked up Qi Chengzhi’s call and clicked to open the news. “Danchen, come over here and have a look at this.”
Ruan Danchen slid toward her in her office chair. She looked at Song Yu’s computer and saw the news. It read that Ruan Danchen was a qualified and responsible designer and that she had never used materials of inferior quality nor involved herself in shoddy work to make money illegally.
The news explained that there was some misunderstanding prior to this, and that the real culprit was the other person who was also in charge of the development project.
After reading the news, Song Yu and Ruan Danchen fell silent. They both knew that the person in question was actually helping Mu Sisi to frame Ruan Danchen by replacing the materials.
Although Mu Huaisheng was not necessarily looking for a scapegoat when he turned him over, he had simultaneously managed to cover up the things that Mu Sisi did. Ruan Danchen felt uneasy as the true culprit was left unscathed.
“I think, this is more credible than if Mu Huaisheng tried to explain that this was a misunderstanding without any evidence,” said Song Yu. Although she was not satisfied with the way Mu Huaisheng resolved the incident, he did fulfill his promise of guaranteeing that he would get Ruan Danchen out of trouble.
“We’ll have to see how it goes. Even though he has given them this explanation, if the clients still choose not to trust me, there’s nothing I can do about it.” Ruan Danchen closed the news report.
Song Yu pondered for a while and whispered, “Follow me.”
Once they were on the highest floor, Song Yu said, “At first, I did not intent to tell you about this, but to make you feel better, I’ll say it now.”
“What are you talking about?” Ruan Danchen asked. She was intrigued because Song Yu had cautiously brought her to the highest floor to talk to her.
“Chengzhi was planning to sue Mu Sisi and we are collecting evidence now. After this we will have to hand them to the authorities and have to wait for the trial date,” explained Song Yu, “So rest assured that the false accusations you face won’t be left unpunished.”
“Is it good to make such a big deal out of it?” Ruan Danchen was grimacing as she felt apologetic that they were doing all this just for her.
“It’s not only because of you, Chengzhi wanted to teach Mu Sisi a lesson. In fact, even if we sue her, it will be very hard to get her sentenced due to the influence of the Mu Family. Mu Sisi will eventually be freed, so don’t get your hopes too high. Chengzhi simply wanted to make clear to her that she should know her place and behave properly. He just wanted to make her feel troubled,” said Song Yu with a smile.
Ruan Danchen grinned involuntarily. “You have become more wicked after being with him for a long time! Before this, you would never attempt to disturb others like this!”
“Let’s go, now you should feel relieved during work. Let Chengzhi handle this, we won’t allow you to be taken advantage of.” Song Yu pulled her arm as they went back to their office. “However, how about you tell me what was going on between you and my husband’s cousin?”
“What do you mean?” Ruan Danchen was stunned before she began acting stupid.
“Stop pretending, both of you are interacting differently as compared to before. Even Grandmother noticed it.” Song Yu rolled her eyes. “Last night Cheng Dongge and Chengyue surely noticed it too. Are you still trying to pretend in front of me?”
“There is nothing going on, I don’t know him well either. He saw that Youxuan likes me and was afraid that I would use Youxuan to pursue him.” Ruan Danchen rolled her eyes and sneered. “Where did he get that confidence from?”
“He said that?” Song Yu stared at Ruan Danchen in surprise. “Chenglin is not that type of person. He is actually much more normal compared to Chengzhi.”
