Chun Yuejing silently expressed her disdain with a glance. "Boss, I have other matters to attend to. I need to go out and get busy..." She was being quite considerate, intending to leave them space to handle their private affairs.
Huo Chanyi let out a surprised "Oh," and said, "Aren't you rather free?"
Chun Yuejing was instantly furious. How could he say that? If it weren't for him repeatedly rejecting her drafts and not allowing her to go out for interviews, would she be so idle? Even with money, one shouldn't squander it so recklessly; it was essential to make good use of the talent at hand!
" Chenyi, this is..." Mu Liyin, who had been left aside for a while without being acknowledged, finally spoke up.
Chun Yuejing turned to Mu Liyin, casting a pleading look for help.
Huo Chanyi tightened his grip on her arm. "Oh, my woman."
Boom!
Chun Yuejing felt as if she had been struck by lightning. How could this guy be so shameless? She had nothing to do with him; he shouldn't drag her into this gossip vortex!
Mu Liyin pointed at Chun Yuejing. "But she doesn't seem to think so."
Chun Yuejing's face turned dark, her expression filled with frustration and indignation as if she had swallowed a fly. Huo Chanyi adjusted her face and planted a light kiss on her petite red lips. "Chun Yuejing, I warn you, don't even think about distancing yourself from me!"
Chun Yuejing's expression grew even worse as she glared at him fiercely; this time it truly felt like being pestered by a fly!
However, the wealthy Mu Liyin showed no signs of anger and even occasionally chuckled softly. What kind of world was this?
What a tangled web of relationships this was!
Huo Chanyi seemed to feel he had teased enough and released her, allowing Chun Yuejing to escape like she was fleeing from disaster. When she looked back, she found Mu Liyin's gaze on her was incredibly complex... Was she contemplating some form of revenge?
Having offended the boss was already miserable enough; what if the boss's benefactor came seeking retribution... Chun Yuejing couldn't help but shiver at the thought and hurriedly fled.
She hid in the restroom, rinsing her mouth repeatedly until it was time to leave work.
Mu Liyin had already departed, and Huo Chanyi sat in her chair waiting for her... Chun Yuejing felt uneasy and quietly packed her things. Just as she stuffed her phone into her bag, Huo Chanyi grabbed her hand and headed straight for the exit.
"What... what are you doing?!" Chun Yuejing knew her resistance was weak; she only pretended to struggle a bit; otherwise, she'd surely be "annihilated" by the strange looks from her colleagues!
Huo Chanyi remained silent as he tossed her into the car and drove away from the company.
Could it be that he had been wronged by Mu Liyin? That was the only possibility that crossed her mind. No wonder he dared to be so intimate with another woman in front of Mu Liyin; it was utterly despicable! After a moment's pause, she suddenly realized that the woman in question seemed to be herself...
"Um, what exactly is your relationship with Mu Liyin?" She decided to ask for clarity; she didn't want to become a disliked third wheel.
Huo Chanyi glanced at her. "What? Are you jealous?"
She wanted nothing more than to punch that smug look off his face!
Chun Yuejing cleared her throat softly. "By the way, has my boyfriend been found?" She was genuinely worried that Huo Chanyi might take out his anger on him.
"He's dead!"
What was he throwing a tantrum about now?!
Chun Yuejing felt displeased; this man was laughably immature!
Upon returning to the villa, several of his men seemed to be discussing something important. Seeing them, they immediately stood up and saluted, "Boss!"
Then they turned to her, "Sister-in-law!"
Chun Yuejing's heart tightened. Being respected by such fierce-looking individuals required immense inner strength, yet she was the most timid and cowardly of them all.
As she walked upstairs under their watchful gazes, Chun Yuejing tugged at Huo Chanyi's sleeve. "You should explain things to them; we don't really have any special relationship..."
Huo Chanyi casually glanced at her and irresponsibly shrugged her off. "If you want to explain, you can do it yourself."
She felt abandoned without mercy.
Whether it was her imagination or not, she noticed that Mu Liyin had been visiting the Xing Yue headquarters more frequently. When she saw Mu Liyin step into Huo Chanyi's office again, Chun Yuejing was just about to pour some juice when two colleagues approached her. Colleague A said, "In the past, Miss Mu would only come once a month at most."
Colleague B chimed in, "Could something have happened that made Miss Mu feel a sense of crisis, prompting her to keep a close eye on the boss?"
Two pairs of eyes occasionally cast glances in her direction, and Chun Yuejing hurriedly distanced herself from the situation. "What are you talking about? You're overthinking it!" she exclaimed before quickly rushing off to deliver the juice.
Mu Liyin smiled at her kindly, causing Chun Yuejing to feel an inexplicable sense of guilt. Miss Mu then asked, "When did you and Chenyi start dating?"
"Um..." They weren't dating at all; it was all a misunderstanding, a fabrication concocted by the boss!
Chun Yuejing silently protested in her heart while cautiously peeking outside the door. If she confessed now, would Huo Chanyi devour her alive once he found out?
As Chun Yuejing pondered this, Mu Liyin suddenly began to gag and rushed into the office restroom to vomit.
The beautiful star seemed unwell, and somehow, the responsibility felt like it lay with her!
Chun Yuejing quickly followed, anxiously asking, "Miss Mu, are you...?"
A sudden thought struck her: Could it be that she was pregnant?
Mu Liyin gently caressed her abdomen, and amidst her sweet smile, there was an inexplicable hint of bitterness.
The famous singer Mu Liyin was actually pregnant!
