Zhen Xunhuan worked tirelessly and finally managed to finish the Dragon Robe.
Yue Wen was so excited that he almost changed into it on the spot, but thankfully, Yue Tingting intervened just in time, forcing him to reluctantly go back to change.
Zhen Xunhuan had intended to take this opportunity to slip away, but was caught by Yue Wen, who pulled her back. At that moment, the look in Yue Tingting's eyes was so complex that it sent a shiver down her spine, making her want to escape.
So when Yue Wen emerged, beaming with satisfaction and generously offering rewards, Zhen Xunhuan hurriedly expressed her gratitude, saying “Thank you for your kindness,” and then left as if fleeing, filled with a strong sense of “blessing” for the two of them.
Being caught between them was driving her crazy.
Fortunately, Zhen Xunhuan was not fired and even became a full-time employee.
If this was the reward for her hard work during this time, she considered herself fortunate! To her, making money was the most important thing; her boss's indulgence in Pretty Boy had nothing to do with her, and she didn’t want to get involved!
Carrying her design drafts, Zhen Xunhuan walked toward the office. Just as she reached the door, her steps seemed to be nailed to the ground.
What was Yue Wen doing here?! He was actually wandering around in the Dragon Robe… that crazy man!
She turned to run but was already spotted by Yue Wen. He excitedly waved his hand high in the air, his voice echoing clearly throughout the office: “Little Huan Huan, I’ve been waiting for you for a long time.”
Had he lost his mind? Calling her like that was so nauseating!
Zhen Xunhuan turned her head away, stiffly forcing a smile as she stammered, “Um… do you need something? I’ve been quite busy lately and might not have time…” Since it had come to this point, she needed to leave quickly! If that female tyrant saw her, wouldn’t she be devoured alive? She was just a small fry; she didn’t want to get dragged into this!
Seeing Zhen Xunhuan’s pale face, Yue Wen decided not to tease her any longer: “I’m not familiar with this place; it’s Tingting who asked me to find you.”
“President?” Zhen Xunhuan froze for a moment, secretly cursing how cheesy he sounded calling everyone like that.
Why did the president’s generosity make her feel uneasy? Was there something terrifying waiting for her?
Zhen Xunhuan racked her brain for an excuse, but before she could say anything, Yue Wen dragged her out of the office.
Turning back, she caught sight of her colleagues’ shocked expressions, wishing she could just sink into the ground.
She really had nothing to do with this arrogant man! He was already taken!
Zhen Xunhuan was certain that Yue Wen was out for revenge against her!
It was all because of his inexplicable absences. Although he didn’t lose any pay thanks to his “special connections,” her attendance bonus was gone…
Yue Wen constantly dragged her around for outings, spending her money! He insisted on taking taxis instead of using public transport, and those expenses were non-reimbursable!
She didn’t dare approach Yue Tingting for help. Once, she mustered the courage to ask their supervisor for reimbursement and was promptly kicked out…
The financial loss made Zhen Xunhuan’s heart ache; she was already struggling to make ends meet. Why did he have to exploit her? Wasn’t there a wealthy woman, Yue Tingting, who could foot the bill? Why did he have to fleece her? Zhen Xunhuan felt a surge of resentment.
Then there were the rumors circulating in the company… They said she was never at work and was out on dates with a handsome bald man… Every day, someone would pester Yue Wen about his relationship with her and how far things had progressed… It was utterly infuriating!
When Zhen Xunhuan was once again dragged away from the office by Yue Wen, she squeezed her increasingly empty wallet and decided to confront him: “Yue Wen, are you having some kind of conflict with the president?”
Yue Wen looked bewildered. “What problem could I possibly have with her?”
“Even if your relationship is in trouble, you can’t use me as a shield.”
This was the only reason Zhen Xunhuan could think of; being a shield… it was just too pathetic.
Yue Wen seemed displeased and coldly snorted, “You’ve seen my body; do you think you can just dump me?”
The words were too easily misunderstood, and Zhen Xunhuan felt a cold sweat break out on his forehead. He gently shook his head and sighed helplessly, "Yue Wen, my boyfriend will have something to say about this."
Yue Wen immediately looked as if he had swallowed a fly, falling silent.
He never expected that she actually had a boyfriend!
When Yue Tingting received the butler's notification and returned to the villa, she noticed Yue Wen looking gloomy. As soon as he saw her, he immediately asked, "Is that Time Machine fixed yet?"
He found this era utterly meaningless and felt unnecessary here; he didn’t want to stay any longer!
"What’s wrong? Weren't you having fun before?" Yue Tingting replied with some exasperation. After all, she had lent him her subordinate for entertainment, so what more did he want?
"The Time Machine is still being repaired; you’ll have to wait a bit longer."
Yue Wen looked skeptical. "You’re not trying to fool me, are you?"
This Yue Tingting, while claiming to be his descendant, always made things hard to understand.
Yue Tingting was just Huan Huan; she didn’t bother to explain further. Trust or distrust couldn’t be changed with just a few words.
She was curious about why he suddenly wanted to go back.
