"That was a misunderstanding..."
Huo Chanyi raised an eyebrow. "Do you dare to deny it?"
Chun Yuejing shook her head without hesitation!
Internally, she was lamenting; with that look of "try denying it and see what happens," how could she dare?
As Chun Yuejing was taken away, Little Boss attempted to intervene, but Huo Chanyi didn't even glance his way.
Feeling a pang of conscience, Chun Yuejing decided to offer some advice. "For the sake of our past as colleagues, I advise you not to go against him... The Underworld Boss is definitely someone who holds grudges and will retaliate. I am the best example of that."
Once in the car, Chun Yuejing noticed Huo Chanyi's expression growing increasingly dark. "What's wrong?"
"Colleagues' friendship?"
Why was this person always fixating on such peculiar points... Chun Yuejing fabricated, "I was just messing with him a little."
As the driver steered the car, Chun Yuejing glanced at the direction they were heading and cautiously asked, "Boss, where are we going?"
"Back to Yan Gang." Huo Chanyi closed his eyes and ignored her.
"But... but..." If she continued to disturb him, she would feel uneasy; more importantly, her heart might not be able to handle it! Chun Yuejing shrank her neck and carefully said, "I've already decided to move out..."
Huo Chanyi opened his eyes and glared at her. "Address."
"What for?"
"Go move your things back!"
"…"
"If you dare to leave again without permission, I'll throw Ye Wei into the brothel!"
Under the pressure of her boss's authority, Chun Yuejing timidly returned to Yan Gang.
The various disappointments in life made her determined to regain her confidence at work, but as she looked at yet another rejected interview draft, her heart sank. She prepared herself mentally to ask her superior about it, only to receive a straightforward response: "Your drafts were reviewed by Mr. Huo. He said they couldn't be used."
Chun Yuejing was left speechless. How could he do that? Just because he was a minor character didn’t mean he could bully her at will!
Fuming, Chun Yuejing stormed upstairs. Huo Chanyi was on the phone, and she waited for him to hang up while contemplating how to approach him.
Huo Chanyi was too domineering; she feared that if she wasn't careful, she might end up being bitten back. Before she could formulate a strategy, he hung up the phone and looked at her with an expression that said "spit it out quickly," devoid of any patience. Chun Yuejing immediately lost her nerve and stammered, "Did you… reject my draft?"
"The draft is inappropriate," Huo Chanyi replied. "From now on, any news regarding Mu Liyin doesn't need to go through you."
Chun Yuejing grew anxious. "On what grounds?"
Huo Chanyi stared at her. "Don't you really think that name sounds familiar?"
Very… familiar?
Chun Yuejing instinctively took a step back as memories flooded back to her. It was because she reported on the scandal between Huo Chanyi and Mu Liyin that she faced retaliation; how could she have forgotten!
Now she understood; it seemed that she could comprehend and accept the rejection of her draft after all.
Before leaving, Chun Yuejing stole a glance at Huo Chanyi, a flicker of... pity? flashed in her eyes.
So what if he was rich? So what if the Underworld Boss wielded immense power? It couldn't change the fact that he was merely a kept man!
Returning to her seat, Chun Yuejing stared blankly at the discarded manuscript before her. She couldn't understand why, despite having a woman, he still made advances toward her.
Why did he let his subordinates misunderstand the situation?
And why did he end up in her bed...? Was it to vent the frustrations of being a kept man?
Hey, hey, don’t drag her into this messy gossip! She thought, feeling an inexplicable twinge of melancholy rise within her.
Accepting her fate of being bullied, Chun Yuejing sat at her desk diligently crafting little figures. Without looking up, she heard Huo Chanyi say, “Yuejing, bring me a glass of juice.”
Juice? Come on, Boss, you really lack masculinity! Chun Yuejing thought as her colleagues suddenly swarmed around her with expressions full of envy and jealousy.
“What’s going on?” She had merely gone to deliver juice; they didn’t need to be this excited about it!
“ Mu Liyin is here! Didn’t you see?”
“Yuejing, when you go in, see if you can dig up some gossip!” Although Huo Chanyi had restricted reporting on Mu Liyin, it didn’t stop the group from igniting with curiosity!
Chun Yuejing froze. Mu Liyin had arrived?
The rumored leading lady finally made her appearance?!
No true hero would pass up the chance to uncover gossip!
Chun Yuejing clenched her fists, determined to fight for The Grand Enterprise of Gossip until the end!
Transforming into a charming little sister, Chun Yuejing entered the room with a glass of juice, causing the superstar Mu Liyin to quickly move away from Huo Chanyi's side. As expected, something was up!
Chun Yuejing's eyes sparkled as she walked towards Mu Liyin, keenly noticing that Mu Liyin was gently wiping away tears from the corners of her eyes.
Instantly, her mind began to wander: the boss throwing a tantrum while the pitiful Mu Liyin unleashed her tearful assault...
Huo Chanyi, observing Chun Yuejing's expression, knew exactly what she was thinking. With a helpless sigh, he rubbed his temples and pulled her closer, trapping her petite frame between himself and the table. "What ridiculous scheme are you plotting now?"
Chun Yuejing shook her head vigorously, her face full of ingratiating smiles. "No, no! Boss, I will wish you all the best!"
The boss's happiness was her happiness; if the boss was in a good mood, she would regain her freedom!
Huo Chanyi's lips twitched slightly; sometimes he really wished he could just give her a good beating to vent his frustration!
"Your blessing?"
Huo Chanyi shot her a sidelong glance and snorted coldly. "I don't need it!"
He was indeed putting on airs!
