There was a hushed voice heard from the secretary’s office, “How do you know?”

Secretary Wu, who was speaking just now, had a flash of coldness in his eyes as he sneered.

“At Sheng Family’s celebration three years ago, my friend was a temporary waitress there. She was the first one to rush to the scene where she saw Ms. Chang in a dire state, and she was bleeding profusely. She was holding onto her stomach while crying out for CEO Sheng. Those cries, one was louder than the other. When CEO Sheng rushed out, that expression was not something that I can imagine…”

“Wow, that’s so cruel…”

The secretaries covered their mouths as their eyes traveled to the closed-door unanimously.

Within the office, Mu Chuqing held on to the two movie tickets and sat there in a daze.

Su Yuan had indeed hit the bull’s eye with her guess. When Gu Yian sent her back this afternoon, he had given her two movie tickets of a recently released movie, which would be aired tomorrow night at 7:30pm, at Tian Cheng Cinema.

Gu Yian gave her one day to consider…

In the face of Gu Yian’s gradual initiatives of having meals, chatting, and watching movies, Mu Chuqing’s curiosity piqued as she wondered what could come next?

She had never experienced these before…

Mu Chuqing shook her head before she held her forehead.

As the saying goes, “A new beginning is always auspicious.” But she had already faced so many things on her first day of work, leaving her really exhausted.

Where would she have the energy to think about the movie!

Mu Chuqing sighed before the extension telephone in her office rang.

“CEO Mu, the conference for mirage-bidding proposal is starting soon!”

“Alright!”

Mu Chuqing frowned as she searched for the file before leaving.

…

The dark night of City Fu was always more beautiful than the broad daylight.

Sheng Yuchen sent Chang Chu home. Before she alighted, she wanted to give him a goodnight kiss on his face, only to see him slightly turning his face away.

………………

Sheng Yuchen sent Chang Chu home. Before she alighted, she wanted to give him a goodnight kiss on his face, only to see him slightly turning his face away.

“Chen?”

Sheng Yuchen turned his head. His dark and gloomy eyes were focused on Chang Chu, reflecting iciness within them.

It was rare for Chang Chu to witness such an icy gaze from Sheng Yuchen. She smiled slightly and reached out to hold his hand, her tone gentle when she asked, “Chen, what’s wrong?”

Sheng Yuchen’s eyebrows moved, and his tone was indifferent, not showing whether he was angry or happy.

“I’ll be attending some dinner parties these few nights. Didn’t you just attend a gathering of class reunion yesterday? I’ve previously heard from you that Su Yuan has helped you quite a few times in university. Don’t make the relationship sour too much.”

Chang Chu’s expression changed as panic flashed across her face. Sheng Yuchen would normally not mention anything about her social circle and lifestyle. Even when she complained grievously to him last night, he didn’t ask anything. Why did he mention Su Yuan all of a sudden the next day?”

The look of doubt quickly disappeared, and she smiled. “It’s okay, go ahead with your work. I have Anqi to accompany me!”

“Whatever makes you happy! Zuo Yi, open the door for Ms. Chang.”

Sheng Yuchen answered with an indifferent expression before he ordered Zuo Yi with a cold face.

Chang Chu tensed suddenly. Usually, Sheng Yuchen would personally open the door for her.

Aggrieved, Chang Chu bit her lip as she stared at Sheng Yuchen with watery eyes. Yet, Sheng Yuchen maintained his gaze on the car in front.

The rear door was opened, followed by Zuo Yi’s rigid and expressionless greeting, “Ms. Chang, please alight!”

Chang Chu gritted her teeth silently and said, “Chen, good night!”

“Okay,” Sheng Yuchen answered without much emotion, his head never turning once.
