《Married to a Stranger: The CEO Is Actually My Husband》 Chapter 1 Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio In the pantry, a boy suddenly stopped Chu Yi and confessed to her with red ears. ¡°I¡¯m sorry, but I¡¯m already married,¡± Chu Yi said, raising her hand to reveal her ring and tactfully rejecting the boy in front of her. The boy¡¯s face instantly turned red, but he was still unconvinced. ¡°I don¡¯t believe it. We¡¯ve been together for so long, and I¡¯ve never seen your husband pick you up once.¡± ¡°My husband is quite busy. He¡¯s either on a business trip or on his way there,¡± Chu Yi replied, looking a little helpless. ¡°I don¡¯t believe you,¡± the boy said confidently. ¡°You must be lying to me.¡± Upon hearing this, Chu Yi found it funny. She said helplessly, ¡°Do you want me to show you the marriage certificate?¡± ¡°Then he must have treated you badly,¡± the boy said confidently. Hearing this, the smile on Chu Yi¡¯s face faded a little. ¡°Those things are known only to the people involved.¡± The boy also realized that he had said something wrong, but he did not know how to remedy it. ¡°Alright, you¡¯re still young. Don¡¯t keep thinking about love. Work hard.¡± Chu Yi saw through his embarrassment and patiently reminded him like an elder. The boy responded softly and then ran away quickly. ¡°Looks like someone¡¯s charm hasn¡¯t diminished.¡± Someone came in with a teacup. When Chu Yi saw who it was, she heaved a long sigh of relief. ¡°Don¡¯t tease me, Yunyun.¡± Yan Yun shrugged and placed the cup under the coffee machine. ¡°To be honest, if I hadn¡¯t seen your marriage certificate, as your best friend, I wouldn¡¯t have believed that you were married.¡± Chu Yi twirled the fake ring on her finger and looked helpless. ¡°Yeah, I don¡¯t believe it either.¡± A year ago, Chu Yi got married to a man she had just met in order to fulfill her grandmother¡¯s wish. Her grandmother had chosen her marriage partner, as he was the grandson of her grandmother¡¯s good friend, and he was reliable and of the right age. Due to some bad experiences in the past, Chu Yi¡¯s grandma could never get over them and always felt guilty and blamed herself. Chu Yi didn¡¯t want her grandma to worry about her at her age, so she agreed to the marriage. Her expectations for marriage had long disappeared when she was young, and she now just hoped for a peaceful life. On the day of their marriage registration, she had only seen him once, and he was a good-looking man. However, that was all she knew about him. ¡°Hey, what are you thinking about?¡± Yan Yun nudged her. Chu Yi regained her senses and rubbed her temples. ¡°It¡¯s nothing. I just remembered something about my registration.¡± ¡°Speaking of which, who exactly is your husband? Since you suddenly told me about your flash marriage a year ago, even I haven¡¯t seen him in person.¡± Chu Yi couldn¡¯t help but feel amused and helpless. ¡°I don¡¯t know either.¡± Yan Yun was at a loss for words and choked up. ¡°You¡¯ve been married for over a year, but you¡¯ve only met your husband once when you registered your marriage. Your marriage is like not having one at all,¡± Yan Yun commented. Chu Yi nodded in agreement. ¡°Do you think he could be the leader of some mysterious organization, doing something unspeakable that prevents him from contacting you?¡± Yan Yun asked curiously. Chu Yi thought for a while and stuttered, ¡°I don¡¯t think so. It¡¯s unlikely.¡± ¡°How could a normal person disappear after getting married? It can¡¯t be a scam, right?¡± Yan Yun scoffed. Chu Yi firmly denied, ¡°I don¡¯t believe that¡¯s the case.¡± This marriage partner was carefully chosen by her grandma, and Chu Yi still trusted her grandma¡¯s judgment. ¡°It¡¯s really too puzzling.¡± Yan Yun supported her chin with her hand and thought for a moment before saying, ¡°Speaking of which, have you heard about the CEO and his wife?¡± ¡°What? The CEO of our company?¡± Chu Yi had never seen the president of this company since she joined. It was said that he had been on a business trip abroad. This was the first time she had heard about the president. Yan Yun quickly covered her mouth and looked around to make sure no one was paying attention before continuing, ¡°I also heard it from others, but¡­¡± She lowered her voice and whispered in Chu Yi¡¯s ear, ¡°I can¡¯t guarantee it¡¯s true.¡± ¡°Hurry up and tell me.¡± Chu Yi couldn¡¯t help but feel curious when she saw Yan Yun¡¯s mysterious look. Yan Yun pondered for a moment and said, ¡°I heard that our CEO went abroad to work right after getting married. Then, some people guessed that he didn¡¯t just work this year. He probably took his newlywed wife on a honeymoon.¡± ¡°Is it true?¡± Chu Yi was a little surprised. It seemed like the CEO was a good husband. Yan Yun shrugged. ¡°I¡¯m not sure, but if it¡¯s true, our CEO¡¯s wife is really lucky.¡± She had heard that CEO Song, who went abroad for business a year ago, would be back in two days. Everyone in the president¡¯s office was so busy that they barely had time to rest. They arrived early and left late every day, trying to leave the best impression on the boss. An intern who had just started working couldn¡¯t handle the pressure and broke down in the office. ¡°Can you do it or not? If you can¡¯t, get lost.¡± Lin Zuo frowned and scolded. ¡°I can¡¯t do it. This isn¡¯t something anyone can do.¡± The intern was also unyielding. ¡°If you have the ability, fire me.¡± Lin Zuo laughed in anger. ¡°Do you really think I don¡¯t dare?¡± The intern sat on the chair, crossed his legs, and said casually, ¡°If you have the ability, try it. Do you know who my father is? Do you dare to fire me? Be careful, or I¡¯ll make you regret it.¡± Lin Zuo pushed up his glasses and said in a cultured tone, ¡°Anyone could do a better job than you with your position, yet you still have the audacity to speak here. If it weren¡¯t for your father¡¯s influence, you wouldn¡¯t even be able to enter our company.¡± He spoke calmly, but his words exerted an indescribable pressure. The intern, who had been receiving the stares of those around him, couldn¡¯t hold it any longer and retorted loudly, ¡°What nonsense are you talking about? Anyone can do this job. Don¡¯t be so full of yourself.¡± Lin Zuo was too annoyed to argue with him any longer. ¡°That¡¯s enough. You¡¯re fired from now on. The finance department will transfer your salary for the next two days to your account.¡± The intern felt humiliated and muttered, ¡°What¡¯s the big deal?¡± before leaving hastily. Lin Zuo rubbed his forehead, feeling a little frustrated. The intern¡¯s job wasn¡¯t particularly difficult, but it was tedious and required someone who was meticulous to do it. CEO Song was coming to the company in the afternoon, and Lin Zuo still couldn¡¯t find a suitable candidate for the job. Chu Yi had been watching the entire commotion from the side, unsure of whether she should approach Lin Zuo, who seemed to be in a bad mood. She had only come to deliver a document and had stumbled upon the scene by chance. As she hesitated, Lin Zuo raised his head and noticed Chu Yi not far away. His eyes lit up, as if he had found his savior. If you find any errors ( broken links, non-standard content, etc.. ), Please let us know via our discord so we can fix it as soon as possible. Chapter 2 Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio He had seen this female colleague set up an event venue before. She was bold but meticulous. She was perfect for the job. He strode over to Chu Yi with a barely perceptible hint of joy on his face. ¡°Assistant Lin, this is¡­¡± Chu Yi asked as he approached, nervously. ¡°Come with me for a moment.¡± Lin Zuo waved his hand and asked Chu Yi to follow him into the office. After hearing Lin Zuo¡¯s offer, Chu Yi couldn¡¯t help but widen her eyes and asked, ¡°What?¡± ¡°That¡¯s right, Miss Chu, I would like to sincerely offer you a position in our president¡¯s office.¡± Lin Zuo clasped his hands together, looking determined to get his way. At least, he could not think of any reason for Chu Yi to refuse. ¡°But¡­¡± Chu Yi hesitated. She was only here to run errands and didn¡¯t expect something like this to happen. Lin Zuo handed her the contract in front of him. ¡°There¡¯s no ¡®but¡¯. Miss Chu, with your abilities, you are more than capable of fulfilling this job. Moreover, the salary in the president¡¯s office is higher than your previous department. Don¡¯t you think your skills and personality are more suited to working here?¡± He paused and added, ¡°This is also a promotion.¡± Chu Yi hesitated for a moment but eventually agreed. Lin Zuo breathed a sigh of relief. When Chu Yi returned from lunch, all of her belongings had been moved to the president¡¯s office, including the potted plant on her desk. Chu Yi had to admit that Assistant Lin was very efficient. Her new workspace was arranged in the same way as her previous one. She sat at her desk in peace and greeted her new colleagues warmly, but they all seemed very busy. Not long after, the legendary CEO arrived. Chu Yi followed them to the door to welcome the CEO. The elevator door opened, and a man and a woman stepped out. The man was dressed in a suit and his hair was neatly combed. Everyone bowed slightly and shouted in unison, ¡°Hello, Mr. President.¡± Chu Yi couldn¡¯t help but steal a glance at him, feeling that he looked familiar. She suppressed her doubts and obediently followed suit. Chu Yi recognized the person behind the man. It was the boss¡¯s chief secretary. Watching the man leave, Chu Yi raised her head and sized him up. The man had broad shoulders and narrow hips. His legs were straight and long. From his back, she could tell that the boss was a very handsome person. Was it just an illusion? She felt like she had seen him somewhere before but couldn¡¯t remember where. CEO Song ignored everyone and walked straight into the office. The woman behind him stopped and asked, ¡°Assistant Lin, have you prepared the candidate for the CEO¡¯s secretary?¡± ¡°Secretary Wang, don¡¯t worry. I¡¯ve personally selected the people,¡± Lin Zuo replied respectfully. Wang Lin looked at her watch and said, ¡°Bring the person to the CEO¡¯s office in half an hour.¡± Upon hearing Wang Lin¡¯s words, the people in the president¡¯s office became excited. ¡°Is Secretary Wang really leaving? Is the CEO¡¯s office going to promote someone to be the CEO¡¯s secretary?¡± ¡°Didn¡¯t they spend so much time preparing for this? My goodness, who will be able to snatch such a good opportunity?¡± The CEO was finally going to choose a new secretary, and everyone was eager to try. Lin Zuo looked at his colleagues who were a little crazy and cleared his throat lightly and said, ¡°Pay attention to the impact, go back to work. Have you finished your work?¡± Hearing Lin Zuo¡¯s words, the people from the CEO¡¯s office left. Indeed, with CEO Song¡¯s return, the ¡°idle days¡± of the CEO¡¯s office were over. Chu Yi was a little confused. She pulled her colleague Sun Lian and asked, ¡°Doesn¡¯t CEO Song already have a secretary? Why does he still need to choose a secretary?¡± Sun Lian, seeing that Chu Yi was new, answered without any hesitation, ¡°Wang Lin you saw just now is the chief executive secretary. She has been with CEO Song for many years, but I heard she is going on a honeymoon. That¡¯s why he needs to choose a new secretary to replace her.¡± Chu Yi was still a little confused and asked, ¡°So, another secretary has to be chosen in our CEO¡¯s office? What kind of person should we choose?¡± At this moment, Liu Sheng, who had been listening to their conversation for a long time, finally couldn¡¯t hold back anymore. He said sarcastically, ¡°Not everyone can enter the CEO¡¯s office. Unlike some women who force their way in just because they are pretty. Do you think you can become the CEO¡¯s secretary? Dream on!¡± Chu Yi didn¡¯t know why Liu Sheng was so hostile to her, but Sun Lian, who was beside her, pulled her sleeve and shook her head, indicating that she should not lower herself to Liu Sheng¡¯s level. After seeing Liu Sheng leave his workstation, Sun Lian whispered to Chu Yi, ¡°You don¡¯t know, but Liu Sheng has been eyeing the CEO¡¯s secretary position for a long time. Don¡¯t talk to him. Despite being male, he¡¯s very scheming. He sees everyone as a competitor, so it¡¯s best to ignore him.¡± Chu Yi nodded silently. She knew that landing a job in the CEO¡¯s office was a tremendous opportunity, and the position of CEO¡¯s secretary was something she wouldn¡¯t even dare to dream about. Meanwhile, Lin Zuo received new instructions from CEO Song. CEO Song wanted to see all the financial statements from the previous year to this year, performance reports from each department, and the materials prepared in the past three quarters. Although all the company¡¯s data would be summarized in the president¡¯s office, Lin Zuo wasn¡¯t personally responsible for handling everything. ¡°Who is in charge of preparing the departmental performance reports, materials, and financial statements for the past two years?¡± Lin Zuo stood in the center of the office, looking like he was facing a formidable foe. The staff in the CEO¡¯s office exchanged glances, each person being responsible for a different project. When they heard Lin Zuo¡¯s question, most shook their heads, indicating that it wasn¡¯t their responsibility. Just as Lin Zuo was about to return to his office to check the distribution records, Chu Yi timidly raised her hand and said, ¡°It¡¯s me.¡± When Lin Zuo saw Chu Yi, he felt like dying. Misfortune never comes singly. ¡°How could the CEO be so good at picking? And it happens to be the materials that the just resigned intern was supposed to prepare,¡± he thought. However, it was too late for the others to prepare again, so Chu Yi had no choice but to soldier on. ¡°Chu Yi, prepare all the materials and report to the CEO¡¯s office immediately,¡± Lin Zuo ordered without giving Chu Yi any chance to argue. All colleagues cast sympathetic glances at Chu Yi, and perhaps this newly transferred little girl would make her last appearance in the CEO¡¯s office.

Chapter 3 Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio Chu Yi entered the CEO¡¯s office, feeling a little nervous, and said, ¡°President, these are all the materials you wanted.¡± In fact, she had already spent several hours sorting through the information. Each department of the Song Corporation had a clearly defined role, and although the materials submitted were diverse, as long as she paid close attention, the work wasn¡¯t overly difficult. It was just somewhat tedious, and she had to remember the marks she had made. As Song Ting looked at the materials and the colorful paper clips, he realized that each color represented a department¡¯s data, and each large folder contained all the documents about a particular category. Even Wang Lin gave Chu Yi a look of approval. In turn, Chu Yi was looking at Song Ting¡¯s face. His gold-rimmed eyes failed to conceal his somewhat cold gaze. His facial features were firm, and his thin lips were tightly pursed. He looked a little distant. Perhaps it was his demeanor that created an impression of aloofness. The more Chu Yi looked at him, the more she felt she recognized him, but she still couldn¡¯t recall where they had met before. ¡°Are there electronic versions of the PowerPoint and summary records?¡± Song Ting lifted his gaze to look at Chu Yi, who was staring at him. ¡°Yes, president,¡± Chu Yi replied, quickly pulling a small rabbit-shaped USB from her keychain and handing it to Wang Lin. ¡°All the materials you requested in electronic form are in the second folder, and I¡¯ve already marked all the contents,¡± Chu Yi said and breathed a sigh of relief, glad that she had prepared the electronic versions in advance. During her presentation, Chu Yi also prepared a brief note. While she explained, she peeked at the note from time to time, but she didn¡¯t make any mistakes. Watching Chu Yi leave after finishing her presentation, Song Ting pondered for a moment before saying, ¡°Go and get her file.¡± Wang Lin was surprised when she saw Chu Yi¡¯s file. She had only been in the CEO¡¯s office for a day and her transfer procedures had been completed just a few hours ago. Song Ting, upon seeing the name ¡°Chu Yi,¡± felt that the name was familiar. When he thought of her fair and clean face, he had a vague impression of her, but he couldn¡¯t remember where he had seen her before. Song Ting¡¯s finger tapped on Chu Yi¡¯s file, and he finally said, ¡°Choose her then.¡± Chu Yi was also startled when she received the notice from Lin Zuo. She had received two ¡°surprises¡± in one day. Entering the CEO¡¯s office was already considered one, but now she was being notified to become the CEO¡¯s secretary. Her colleagues, who thought she was going to leave soon, began to whisper among themselves. After all, everything was too unbelievable. Chu Yi had initially taken over an intern position, and now the CEO had directly appointed her as the CEO¡¯s secretary. This was too strange. Chu Yi was also a little confused. She had no idea why she had become the CEO¡¯s secretary. ¡°Chu Yi, congratulations. I¡¯ll have to ask you to take care of me in the future!¡± Sun Lian was quite generous. In fact, she had been preparing for a long time to compete for the position of CEO¡¯s secretary. However, she felt that she was not the best in terms of qualifications or ability, so even if she was not selected, Sun Lian was not too disappointed. However, at this moment, Liu Sheng was already a little angry. Ever since he found out that Wang Lin was going to resign, he had already started preparing to be a secretary. He did not expect that someone else would take the position of CEO¡¯s secretary. Liu Sheng spoke in a sarcastic tone, ¡°That¡¯s right, in the future, we will have to rely on Miss Chu. I wonder what methods she used to charm CEO Song. She went to the CEO¡¯s office once and became his secretary. It¡¯s unbelievable. Being beautiful is really convenient, maybe she¡¯ll even become the CEO¡¯s wife in the future!¡± The other colleagues nodded in agreement with Liu Sheng¡¯s words. No matter how they thought about it, Chu Yi becoming the CEO¡¯s secretary was a little unbelievable. Hearing this, Chu Yi was furious and said, ¡°Liu Sheng, you have to take responsibility for what you said. The CEO of Song Corporation is not someone you can slander!¡± Although Chu Yi¡¯s voice was not loud, the office instantly fell silent. She gave Liu Sheng a deep look, and Liu Sheng seemed to realize that he had said something wrong, his expression turning sour. At that moment, Lin Zuo came out of the office and spoke sternly, ¡°Are you done with work? How dare you say such things about the president? Do you all want to quit?¡± Seeing that his colleagues had lowered their heads and pretended to be busy with work, Lin Zuo turned to Chu Yi and said, ¡°Secretary Wang wants you to go to the office to do the handover. You can go over now.¡± Chu Yi nodded and quickly took her laptop to Wang Lin¡¯s office. If you find any errors ( broken links, non-standard content, etc.. ), Please let us know via our discord so we can fix it as soon as possible. Chapter 4 Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio Wang Lin still admired Chu Yi a lot. From the way she prepared the materials earlier, she could tell that Chu Yi was a meticulous person, and such a person was indeed well-suited to work alongside Song Ting. However, Wang Lin also warned her, ¡°Now that you¡¯ve been chosen, it doesn¡¯t mean you will be able to stay. Working beside CEO Song can certainly develop your skills, but there are also many temptations. Don¡¯t think you can have a meteoric rise.¡± Chu Yi didn¡¯t show any embarrassment. Instead, she thanked Wang Lin sincerely and said, ¡°Don¡¯t worry, I will be careful and do my best for this job.¡± Wang Lin¡¯s eyes showed a hint of approval. Chu Yi was confident without being arrogant, and she was a good potential candidate. However, Chu Yi¡¯s smile faded as Wang Lin continued to distribute more and more documents, she explained, ¡°These are the work contents of S City. This is the list of cooperation in R Country for the past three years. These are the internal matters of the company that have to be handled for the past week. This is¡­¡± Chu Yi swallowed her saliva as she watched the materials pile up on the table. After the documents covered the table, Wang Lin didn¡¯t seem to be finished yet. ¡°For now, you should familiarize yourself with these work contents. You must remember all of them,¡± she said seriously. Chu Yi couldn¡¯t believe what she was hearing. ¡°For now?¡± she asked. ¡°What else do you expect? Do you think being the CEO¡¯s secretary is an easy job?¡± Wang Lin asked, then took out her phone. ¡°Add me as a friend. I¡¯ve compiled a list of CEO Song¡¯s habits and preferences into an e-book, which you can read on your phone. It¡¯s best if you can memorize it within a day or two.¡± Just as Chu Yi was looking at the tens of thousands of pages of the e-book in shock, Wang Lin added, ¡°Bring a high-capacity power bank and make sure your phone must be turned on 24 hours a day.¡± Chu Yi remained in a frantic state of studying until the end of her shift. It was only when Wang Lin knocked on her desk that Chu Yi finally looked up. ¡°I still have a business meeting with CEO Song later. You can leave on time today, but you won¡¯t be able to leave on time tomorrow. Go home and rest.¡± Wang Lin waved her hand, signaling that Chu Yi could leave work. By the time Chu Yi got home, she was completely exhausted. Other than when she was in school, she had never been so tired after work. Apart from working at Song Corporation, Chu Yi also had her own comic studio, which she had established with her good friends, Xu Yin and Tian Peng. The three of them had decided to live together, and with Tian Peng around, they could take care of each other. Chu Yi had hoped that working two jobs would allow her to earn more money, but she never imagined that her workload would double once she became the CEO¡¯s secretary. ¡°Chu Yi, what happened to you?¡± Xu Yin asked, twisting her neck, which was sore from drawing. Tian Peng was also curious. ¡°Didn¡¯t you say you were transferred to the CEO¡¯s office today? Is the work there really that demanding?¡± Looking at her two good friends, Chu Yi felt weak and said, ¡°I¡¯m really tired. Plus, I¡¯ll be the CEO¡¯s secretary from now on.¡± ¡°What?¡± Tian Peng and Xu Yin screamed at the same time. ¡°The CEO who hasn¡¯t been back to the country for a year? Why did he choose you as his secretary?¡± Tian Peng asked. Xu Yin¡¯s eyes darted around before she said in a sly tone, ¡°Could it be that he has taken a fancy to your beauty? He fell in love with you at first sight and swore to keep you by his side, and then¡­¡± Chu Yi quickly covered her mouth. ¡°If the CEO¡¯s wife hears this, I¡¯ll be in trouble.¡± Xu Yin struggled a few times. ¡°Are you kidding me? Married? I remember he¡¯s the top single man in S City. A person who usually doesn¡¯t show his face in the media. Oh right, is he handsome? Tall? Does he have a good figure?¡± Tian Peng rolled his eyes while Chu Yi thought seriously. ¡°He¡¯s over 185cm in height, and his figure is indeed good. He¡¯s also incredibly handsome. If he were to become a celebrity, he¡¯d be popular. However¡­¡± Chu Yi thought of Song Ting¡¯s face and felt a sense of familiarity. ¡°But what? Is he gay? Does he have a flaw?¡± Xu Yin¡¯s words became increasingly absurd. Chu Yi was a little speechless and said, ¡°Ah, that¡¯s not it. I feel like I¡¯ve seen him before, but I can¡¯t remember.¡± ¡°Maybe you¡¯ve seen him during your company¡¯s publicity or some event, but you don¡¯t have any impression of him. After all, he¡¯s the CEO of a company, so it¡¯s normal for him to be in this situation.¡± Tian Peng didn¡¯t mind. Chu Yi also nodded. Perhaps that was the case. The three best friends quarreled until late at night, and Chu Yi finally fell asleep. However, another man appeared in her dream. He had the same broad shoulders and narrow waist. His lips were moving, but Chu Yi couldn¡¯t hear what he was saying. This man seemed familiar.

Chapter 5 Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio The next morning, Chu Yi woke up naturally at six o¡¯clock. She felt a little nervous as she thought about facing the CEO alone on her second day. She arrived at the company at exactly 7:30 and just as she finished preparing various meeting and report materials, Song Ting had already entered the office. Seeing the documents on the table and the coffee on the left-hand side, Song Ting felt a little gratified. It seemed that the new secretary was doing a good job. Chu Yi and Song Ting worked together very well during the department meeting that morning. Wang Lin was initially worried but she was impressed to see that Chu Yi had prepared everything thoroughly. Chu Yi would place every document that the department managers mentioned in front of Song Ting in advance. With just a glance from Song Ting, Chu Yi would be able to find the needed documents or even bring him coffee. The tacit understanding between them seemed to have been working together for many years. Chu Yi could even help to find the data PowerPoint needed by the various department managers. It was clear that Chu Yi had done a lot of work the day before, as everything during the meeting went smoothly. It was almost noon when the meeting finally ended, Chu Yi had not made any mistakes. Not even did Wang Lin impressed, but the other department managers were also polite to her and showed some admiration in their eyes. Just as she returned to the CEO¡¯s office and Chu Yi was about to start reporting on the afternoon¡¯s work, Song Ting¡¯s private phone rang. Chu Yi tactfully left and closed the door after seeing Song Ting answer the call. Song Ting cleared his throat and said, ¡°Grandma.¡± The voice on the other end of the phone also made Song Ting frown. ¡°You still remember that I¡¯m your grandma? Come home with your wife for dinner today.¡± Grandma Wan Ping¡¯s voice echoed. Song Ting, who had initially intended to refuse, found himself at a loss for words. Back then, the Song family had a fierce internal conflict. In order not to involve Song Ting, Father Song sent him to his grandma¡¯s house early on and let him live with grandma Wan Ping under the name ¡®Wan Yan¡¯. It was not until Song Ting took over the Song family, dealt with those who had malicious intentions, and strengthened the Song Corporation that Song Ting finally appeared in front of the public. During the time that he went by the name ¡®Wan Yan¡¯, grandma had already arranged a marriage for him. However, a year ago, Song Ting had to go overseas to deal with the internal strife within the Song Corporation, and he hadn¡¯t returned to the country since obtaining his marriage certificate. Thinking of his wife, whom he had only met once, Song Ting felt a little guilty. It had been a year since they had last seen each other, and they had not even spoken on the phone. He wondered if she was to blame with him. When Song Ting did not answer, Wan Ping thought that her grandson was trying to refuse her invitation once again. She spoke discontentedly, ¡°You abandoned your wife in the country for a year, and you still haven¡¯t visited her after your return. That¡¯s just unacceptable. Remember to buy her some gifts and coax her. Girls like to be coaxed, do you understand?¡± ¡°Alright,¡± Song Ting thought of his wife and smiled slightly. It had been a year since he last saw her, and he wondered how she was doing. Perhaps she thought he was a scammer? After hanging up, Song Ting called in Chu Yi and Wang Lin. ¡°Prepare a bouquet of roses and my blue suit. Tell President Shen that I¡¯ll reschedule our appointment for another day.¡± Song Ting smiled warmly. ¡°Prepare roses?¡± Chu Yi was curious, but she didn¡¯t dare to ask. Wang Lin had been working with Song Ting for a long time and teased, ¡°CEO Song is leaving on time today? Are the roses for me? My husband will get jealous.¡± It was rare for Song Ting to not have a cold expression. ¡°It¡¯s for my wife. We¡¯re going back to the old mansion for dinner today.¡± Chu Yi felt that the CEO was really good to his wife and was so gentle. Wang Lin felt as if she had been struck by lightning. CEO Song¡¯s wife? Was it the wife who had been married for a year and had not seen her? However, seeing Chu Yi beside her, Wang Lin really couldn¡¯t bear to expose Song Ting. If Song Ting was a good boss, the answer was yes. If he was a good husband, Wang Lin would disagree. He had been by Song Ting¡¯s side for so long, but ever since he registered his marriage, he had never mentioned his wife. Thinking of that poor Madam Song, Wang Lin said sympathetically, ¡°CEO Song, do you think just a bouquet of roses is enough to impress your wife?¡± Wang Lin¡¯s implication was, ¡°You didn¡¯t even make a phone call in so long. It¡¯s impossible for you to coax your wife with just a bouquet of roses.¡± When Song Ting saw Wang Lin¡¯s expression, he also guessed it. He thought about what Grandma had just said and pondered for a moment. ¡°Pack the sapphire necklace that I bought last time. I¡¯ll bring it to my wife later.¡± This time, it was Wang Lin who was shocked. ¡°That fifty million sapphire necklace?¡± Chu Yi finally spoke up when she heard this. ¡°Fifty million!¡± Wang Lin looked at Chu Yi, who was as surprised as she was and nodded silently. However, Song Ting did not grasp the main point. ¡°Don¡¯t women like sapphires?¡± If you find any errors ( broken links, non-standard content, etc.. ), Please let us know via our discord so we can fix it as soon as possible. Chapter 6 Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio Song Ting rejected all social events and changed into a freshly laundered suit. He also found a sapphire necklace. Chu Yi brought back the roses and placed them in the CEO¡¯s car. Song Ting kept looking at the address his grandma had sent him. It had been a year since they last saw each other, and the thought of meeting his wife made him feel inexplicably nervous. Seeing her boss¡¯s serious expression, Wang Lin wanted to laugh. Song Ting looked at the two secretaries and waved his hand, ¡°You can leave now. If there¡¯s anything, we can discuss it tomorrow.¡± Then, he unconsciously adjusted his tie while looking at his reflection in the window. Chu Yi once again felt the President¡¯s love for his wife. It was just a meeting with her, yet he was so formal. Chu Yi, who was finally able to leave work on time, felt like she had been pardoned. She quickly picked up the phone and called Xu Yin. ¡°I can leave work on time today. I¡¯ll treat you guys to a meal. Let¡¯s meet at the entrance of the supermarket later. Don¡¯t be late!¡± Upon hearing the invitation, Xu Yin happily jumped up and exclaimed, ¡°Great! Tian Peng and I will be there soon. Make sure to bring your wallet!¡± The three of them met at the entrance of the supermarket as planned. Xu Yin looked expectant. ¡°My dear Chu Yi, the CEO¡¯s secretary must be paid well, right? How much is your budget for today?¡± Chu Yi gave her a disdainful look and said, ¡°It¡¯s enough for you to eat, don¡¯t worry!¡± ¡°Hooray!¡± Xu Yin didn¡¯t wait for the other two and headed straight for the imported snacks section of the supermarket. Tian Peng and Chu Yi were selecting ingredients while Xu Yin placed various snacks into the shopping cart with a satisfied expression. As Chu Yi watched the snacks gradually pile up into a small mountain, along with the two large lobsters in Tian Peng¡¯s hands, Chu Yi held her forehead. These two friends of hers were not holding back. Thinking of the wages that she had not received yet, Chu Yi felt a bit sad. But when it was time to pay, it was Tian Peng who swiped his card. ¡°Wait a minute. Didn¡¯t we agree that I would treat you?¡± Chu Yi was a little unwilling. ¡°The payment for the illustrations we did before came in today. Let¡¯s celebrate properly,¡± Xu Yin nudged her with her elbow. ¡°When you get your wages, I¡¯ll make you pay up!¡± Looking at her two good friends, Chu Yi felt her eyes moisten. If it wasn¡¯t for her, the two of them would have gone abroad a long time ago, and now they were taking such good care of her. Seeing that Chu Yi was silent, Tian Peng came over and rubbed her head, and said, ¡°Making money is worth celebrating, so you can treat us next time.¡± ¡°Okay, it¡¯s a deal.¡± Chu Yi finally smiled. At that moment, Song Ting stood in front of the door of a building in Fashion Garden, staring fixedly at the balcony on the third floor. He had just rung the doorbell, but there was no one at home. He searched through his contact list and realized that he didn¡¯t have his wife¡¯s phone number, and he couldn¡¯t even remember her name. In the end, he had to ask his grandma for help. ¡°Are you kidding me? You don¡¯t even know your wife¡¯s phone number?¡± Wan Ping sighed. ¡°Grandma, I¡¯ll remember it this time.¡± Wan Ping was a little helpless. ¡°Alright, I¡¯ve sent you the phone number. Remember to put in more good words later. Chu Yi is a good girl. Treat her well.¡± Song Ting was a little surprised when he heard the name Chu Yi. ¡°Grandma, what¡¯s her name?¡± ¡°Chu Yi, Chu Yi! You¡¯re unbelievable. You don¡¯t even know your wife¡¯s name. You must bring her here today. Otherwise, I¡¯ll teach you a lesson!¡± Song Ting was indeed speechless when he heard the old lady angrily hang up the phone. He really couldn¡¯t remember the name, and he couldn¡¯t recall her face at all. It was no wonder that the name ¡°Chu Yi¡± sounded familiar. It turned out that the new secretary shared the same name as his wife. When he dialed the number, a man and a woman happened to walk past him. The two of them were carrying supermarket shopping bags. The phone in the woman¡¯s bag rang. She put down the shopping bag in her hand and answered the phone. ¡°Hello, who is this?¡± Song Ting was a little stunned. He looked at the woman in front of him and felt that she was unfamiliar. Could she be Chu Yi? He hesitated before answering, ¡°I¡¯m Wan Yan.¡± ¡°Wan Yan? Who¡¯s that?¡± Xu Yin was taken aback. Suddenly, Xu Yin felt herself being pulled into Tian Peng¡¯s arms. Someone from upstairs threw a garbage bag which landed exactly where Xu Yin had just been standing. Xu Yin leaned into Tian Peng¡¯s arms in shock. Tian Peng was also a little anxious and asked, ¡°Darling, are you okay?¡± Xu Yin patted her chest and said, ¡°Our community is getting worse and worse. I¡¯m going to complain to the management soon. Otherwise, how can we continue living here?¡± Looking at the man and woman in front of him, the man hugged the woman and comforted her softly. The woman did not resist. Obviously, the relationship between the two people was not shallow. He thought about what the woman had said just now. ¡°Who is Wan Yan?¡± Song Ting sneered. He threw the roses at the driver, who was also confused. ¡°Sir, this flower?¡± the driver asked. ¡°Throw it away!¡± Song Ting replied, pointing at a trash can in the distance.

Chapter 7 Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio Chu Yi, who had just parked her car and rushed back to the entrance of the apartment building where she saw a mess. She then noticed Xu Yin¡¯s angry expression and knew that someone had probably thrown something down from a high place again. ¡°Xu Yin, are you okay?¡± Chu Yi hurried over. ¡°Don¡¯t let me find out who did this, or else they¡¯re going to regret it!¡± Xu Yin said angrily as she hung her bag on Chu Yi¡¯s neck. ¡°Chu Yi, are you serious? You put such a big power bank in such a small bag? It¡¯s so heavy.¡± She rubbed her sore shoulder. ¡°Oh, by the way, someone named Wan Yan called you earlier. Do you know him?¡± Chu Yi checked her phone and didn¡¯t recognize the number. She shook her head indifferently. ¡°Probably the person calls the wrong number. You know everyone I know, right?¡± ¡°That¡¯s true.¡± Xu Yin thought about it and agreed. She then picked up the shopping bags from the ground. ¡°Let¡¯s hurry back home. I¡¯m starving!¡± Chu Yi¡¯s cooking skills were the best, so Xu Yin and Tian Peng helped out at her side, and soon the food was ready. Xu Yin happily raised her glass of red wine. ¡°Cheers! I wish our studio will always be able to make money so quickly! May we become millionaires! I also wish that we can all find a handsome man and a beautiful woman to fall in love with!¡± Chu Yi was inspired by her friend¡¯s words and raised her glass. ¡°Cheers!¡± Tian Peng looked at the two of them speechlessly. ¡°Chu Yi, you¡¯re married. Xu Yin, other than me, the man you interact with the most is your father.¡± ¡°So, what if she¡¯s married?¡± Xu Yin was a little dissatisfied. ¡°Our Chu Yi has a great figure and a pretty face. She¡¯s also the CEO¡¯s secretary and the boss of our studio. Her future is limitless. Why should she be stuck with a deadbeat husband who never shows up? Today, let¡¯s get drunk and forget about it!¡± Chu Yi drank a glass of wine and felt a little dizzy. ¡°Yes, I don¡¯t care if I married or not. I want to enjoy a beautiful relationship!¡± At this moment, Chu Yi, who was reveling, had not thought about what would happen the next day. Although she had drunk, Chu Yi¡¯s alarm still rang at six o¡¯clock sharp. She wanted to continue sleeping in, but suddenly she imagined Song Ting¡¯s scrutinizing gaze. She was so frightened that she immediately jumped out of bed to freshen up. Chu Yi thought that it was already early for her to arrive at the company at 7:15 am, but she did not expect to run into Song Ting as soon as she stepped inside the company. ¡°Good morning, CEO Song,¡± Chu Yi greeted him and quickly pressed the elevator button. However, Song Ting only nodded. His face was cold, and his entire demeanor was filled with the words, ¡°Don¡¯t provoke me.¡± Chu Yi also sensed his displeasure. When there were only two of them in the elevator, the low pressure made her feel suffocated. Wang Lin, who probably hadn¡¯t had a normal day off in a long time, also arrived early. When she saw Song Ting¡¯s angry expression, she silently asked Chu Yi with her eyes. Chu Yi could only reply with an ¡°I don¡¯t know¡± look. Wang Lin saw the necklace box on Song Ting¡¯s office windowsill and suddenly understood something. She asked tentatively, ¡°Madam really doesn¡¯t like sapphire necklaces?¡± Song Ting raised his head and swept a cold glance at Wang Lin and Chu Yi. Chu Yi was so frightened that she took a step back. Song Ting then threw the necklace box worth fifty million into the glove box beside him. Not only did Chu Yi not dare to speak, but Wang Lin was also a little surprised. Was there really a woman who didn¡¯t like such an expensive piece of jewelry? Even if she didn¡¯t like it, she should have shown some happiness at the sight of such a valuable item, right? It seemed that this CEO¡¯s wife had truly high standards! However, she had no idea that Song Ting was so angry when he saw his ¡°wife¡± behaving intimately with another man yesterday. Especially when the two of them were talking about ¡°darling¡± and ¡°our home¡±. He had been away for just one year, and this woman couldn¡¯t even stand loneliness and had immediately found another man? After working in the low-pressure area for the whole morning, Chu Yi felt like she was about to die. She was afraid of accidentally provoking the CEO. Finally, when lunchtime came, Chu Yi delivered the CEO¡¯s lunch and quickly left the room. ¡°Do you think Madam made him unhappy yesterday? Maybe she kicked him out of bed because she didn¡¯t like the necklace?¡± Wang Lin whispered as she sat down beside Chu Yi with the lunch box. ¡°It shouldn¡¯t be, right?¡± Chu Yi replied and her eyes twitched. The CEO did not seem like someone who could be controlled by others. Wang Lin had a wicked smile on her face. ¡°Heh, you¡¯re still young and don¡¯t understand. Men can easily act like that when they¡¯re not satisfied.¡± If you find any errors ( broken links, non-standard content, etc.. ), Please let us know via our discord so we can fix it as soon as possible. Chapter 8 Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio When it was time to leave work, Chu Yi thought that the day¡¯s work under low pressure was finally going to end, but she didn¡¯t expect to be arranged to attend a drinking party with Song Ting. ¡°I can¡¯t drink in my current condition,¡± Wang Lin said, rubbing her stomach in embarrassment, then blinked at Chu Yi. ¡°And you are?¡± Chu Yi mouthed ¡°pregnant¡± and looked at Wang Lin with wide eyes. Wang Lin didn¡¯t hide it and said, ¡°Yes, otherwise, they be in such a hurry to find a new secretary? Anyway, sooner or later, you¡¯ll have to attend these kinds of social events. It¡¯s a good thing to get used to them early. I have a dress that¡¯s perfect for this occasion. You didn¡¯t prepare for it today, so wear mine first.¡± Typically, the boss would bring one of their people to socialize and drink. It was the secretary¡¯s job to attend and help fend off the drinking. Of course, the secretary¡¯s attire should be suitable for the occasion. Wang Lin usually prepared several sets of outfits in the office. After changing into a beige professional dress, Chu Yi felt a little uncomfortable. She usually preferred to wear pants, so wearing a skirt was still inconvenient for her. Moreover, Chu Yi¡¯s chest was one cup size larger than Wang Lin¡¯s. When she wore a shirt, she didn¡¯t even dare to breathe deeply. ¡°Oh my god, Chu Yi, you are a beauty!¡± Wang Lin circled Chu Yi and looked at her again and again. ¡°You have my style from back then. If I were a man, I would have fallen in love with you! I¡¯m counting on you tonight! Good luck!¡± Watching Wang Lin leave in the elevator, Chu Yi felt especially envious. However, she reminded herself of her current high salary and overtime pay and pushed her feelings aside. When Song Ting came out after changing his clothes, he saw Chu Yi unnaturally fidgeting with her dress. Noticing Chu Yi¡¯s ill-fitting blouse, he frowned slightly. ¡°Put on your jacket and make sure to bring two sets of clothes for yourself next time.¡± ¡°Alright, CEO,¡± Chu Yi quickly put on her suit jacket and buttoned it up, feeling a little more secure. In the car, Chu Yi focused on the documents Wang Lin had given her. Today¡¯s social gathering was a bit hasty because a significant business partner, CEO Zhang, suddenly participated in this drinking party. Upon receiving the news, Song Ting rushed over. Chu Yi also had to memorize the background of everyone present to ensure that everything went smoothly. When Song Ting arrived, the few CEOs were surprised. However, when they looked at CEO Zhang, they understood why he had come. The Song Corporation¡¯s product development required precision parts that could only be manufactured by professional factories, and CEO Zhang¡¯s subsidiary was the largest precision parts manufacturer in the country. It was evident why Song Ting was here. Song Ting finally concealed his low mood and put on a relaxed smile. ¡°CEO Zhang, long time no see. I didn¡¯t expect you to be here today,¡± Song Ting said with a soft smile. CEO Zhang also shook his hand but kept his eyes on Chu Yi, who was behind Song Ting. Chu Yi was wearing Wang Lin¡¯s beige suit today. The knee-length skirt and fitted suit added to her professional allure, especially her slender and beautiful calves. Coupled with Chu Yi¡¯s fair skin, just her legs alone made people¡¯s minds wander. Furthermore, Chu Yi was wearing a tight-fitting blouse, and although her jacket covered most of it, her alluring figure was still visible. On the other hand, Chu Yi didn¡¯t look as sexy as Wang Lin. She looked pure and innocent with a hint of shyness. It wasn¡¯t just CEO Zhang, other CEOs beside her also looked at her. Song Ting also noticed their gazes. He stepped forward and shielded Chu Yi behind him. ¡°The people around CEO Song are outstanding. CEO Song is willing to bring out such a beautiful secretary.¡± CEO Zhang commented, his eyes still fixed on Chu Yi. Chu Yi also stepped forward and gave a slight bow. ¡°Hello, CEO Zhang. I¡¯m Chu Yi, CEO Song¡¯s secretary.¡± She did not offer her hand to shake, as she could sense the man¡¯s bad intentions, just like the other people present. ¡°Since CEO Zhang is here, I naturally sent our best employee. The Song Corporation and the Zhang Corporation will need outstanding employees to collaborate successfully in the future, won¡¯t we?¡± Although Song Ting spoke politely, his eyes showed annoyance. He had been in the business world for many years, so he could easily recognize the desire in CEO Zhang¡¯s eyes. However, now that the cooperation was imminent, he did not want any unnecessary complications. Song Ting deliberately sat between Chu Yi and CEO Zhang, separating the two of them. Chu Yi only maintained a smile as she looked at everyone. Unexpectedly, CEO Zhang had no intention of letting her go from the beginning. ¡°Come on, Chu Yi, is it? Since this is our first meeting, let me toast to our acquaintance.¡± If you find any errors ( broken links, non-standard content, etc.. ), Please let us know via our discord so we can fix it as soon as possible. Chapter 9 Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio Although Chu Yi had anticipated that she would have to come and block drinks today, she was not expecting that CEO Zhang would stare at her immediately upon arrival and not let her go. However, upon noticing that everyone was looking at her, Chu Yi stood up gracefully and said, ¡°I would like to propose a toast to CEO Zhang. I hope that the Zhang Corporation and Song Corporation can cooperate closely in the future.¡± After finishing her speech, Chu Yi promptly downed the entire glass of wine. The people around her applauded and cheered, except for Song Ting who frowned. ¡°I have to say, CEO Song, your secretary is quite impressive. Just one glass of wine and she has secured a partnership for you. This little girl is quite cunning. For such a significant collaboration, you should have more than just one glass of wine,¡± CEO Zhang said as he refilled Chu Yi¡¯s glass. Song Ting took Chu Yi¡¯s glass and said, ¡°My secretary is inexperienced. I will drink this glass for her.¡± He clinked his glass with CEO Zhang and downed it in one gulp. Seeing this, CEO Zhang also drank his wine. Naturally, the others could see what CEO Zhang was thinking about Chu Yi. They took turns to persuade him to drink more. Chu Yi did not want to offend these people, so she also helped Song Ting drink a lot of wine. However, she finally could not bear it and went to the bathroom. After a few rounds of vomiting, Chu Yi finally felt better. However, she couldn¡¯t help but feel disgusted when she thought of the behavior of the people at the table. But, remembering her responsibility, she took a deep breath and washed her face, and touched up her makeup. However, before she could leave the bathroom, she was stopped by CEO Zhang. CEO Zhang was a little drunk. He accidentally grabbed Chu Yi¡¯s shoulder and pulled her into his arms. ¡°Hey, Chu Yi, I thought you had left. Why did you drink too much?¡± As he spoke, CEO Zhang¡¯s hand slid down and touched Chu Yi¡¯s butt. Chu Yi reflexively stepped on his foot and escaped from the bathroom. At the door, she saw Song Ting and another CEO walking over. The moment Chu Yi saw Song Ting, her face turned pale. Chu Yi thought, ¡°Oh no, I was too impulsive just now. I stepped on Song Corporation¡¯s most important partner. Wang Lin had repeatedly warned her not to offend this person, but she could not help it.¡± Song Ting also noticed Chu Yi¡¯s flustered face. Just then, CEO Zhang stumbled out of the bathroom. ¡°You little girl, you want to do it the hard way.¡± CEO Zhang, who failed to take advantage of Chu Yi, walked over and tried to slap her. However, Song Ting caught his hand in mid-air. The people around them saw that the situation was not good and that many were watching, so they quickly came over to stop the fight. ¡°CEO Zhang, the little girl is not sensible. Why do you have to lower yourself to her level? Let her accompany you later as a way of making amends.¡± The person spoke with a smile wretchedly and kept sizing Chu Yi up. Chu Yi felt frightened and instinctively hid behind Song Ting. It was as if she had been transported back to that day when she was looked at with the same eyes by those people. ¡°Hehe, I¡¯m not a stingy person. She¡¯s just a little girl.¡± CEO Zhang turned to Song Ting drunkenly. ¡°CEO Song, let her accompany me tonight. As long as I have fun, you can ask for whatever cooperation you want!¡± Hearing their conversation, Chu Yi began to feel hopeless. How could Song Ting give up on the collaboration with Zhang Corporation for her? Chu Yi held back her tears and could only grab Song Ting¡¯s clothes tightly. ¡°CEO Zhang, she is my person,¡± Song Ting calmly stated. ¡°I knew it. Why did you suddenly change your secretary?¡± CEO Zhang suddenly understood, and then he laughed again. ¡°It¡¯s okay. When you¡¯re tired of playing with her, she will be mine. After all, she¡¯s just a plaything. CEO Song¡¯s person, CEO Song first, no problem!¡± The words ¡°tired of playing¡± and ¡°plaything¡± made Chu Yi became furious. Why was everyone treating her this way? Was it just because she was a little prettier and had a better figure? Why were people targeting her like this? Can¡¯t beautiful women work and live well? Before anyone else could say anything, Chu Yi stood up. ¡°Are women just playthings and bargaining chips in CEO Zhang¡¯s eyes? Are your mother, daughters, and sisters also object to being toyed with? CEO Zhang was a man, who took pleasure in bullying women. How heroic. I can¡¯t help but applaud you.¡± Chu Yi had already considered the worst-case scenario. At worst, she would be fired. But this time, she had to speak up for herself. She stood up straight and looked directly at CEO Zhang and the others, faintly revealing a kind of power. Song Ting looked at her back and took a step forward. ¡°You¡¯re right. Every employee at Song Corporation deserves respect. However, the Song Corporation did not lack a partner.¡± If you find any errors ( broken links, non-standard content, etc.. ), Please let us know via our discord so we can fix it as soon as possible. Chapter 10 Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio Song Ting¡¯s gaze was unfriendly as he looked down at CEO Zhang and the others. When he heard Song Ting say this, the person opposite him finally realized that something was wrong. In fact, CEO Zhang wasn¡¯t a fool. He had previously made some unwelcome actions toward Wang Lin, but she was an experienced professional who didn¡¯t let him take advantage of her. This time, when he saw Chu Yi, he felt envious and forgot that CEO Song was known for being ruthless and not taking any nonsense. Although CEO Zhang had been drinking heavily, he was starting to sober up. Especially when he saw Song Ting¡¯s cold glare, he knew he did something wrong and might lose the cooperation. ¡°Still not leaving?¡± Song Ting glanced at Chu Yi from the corner of his eyes, then turned around and left. Chu Yi quietly wiped her tears and immediately followed behind Song Ting. ¡°Wait a minute!¡± CEO Zhang also reacted at this time. ¡°CEO Song, CEO Song, please wait a moment.¡± CEO Zhang stumbled a little, but he still followed him. ¡°CEO Song, I was out of line just now, I had too much to drink. I apologize to Miss Chu Yi. You¡¯re a forgiving person, so please overlook my behavior this time.¡± Then, CEO Zhang immediately turned to Chu Yi and said, ¡°I really didn¡¯t mean to offend you. I was just drunk. Miss Chu, please forgive me¡­¡± Chu Yi was a little conflicted when she heard CEO Zhang¡¯s apology. She stopped in her tracks. After all, the Zhang Corporation¡¯s cooperation was very important. Otherwise, Song Ting wouldn¡¯t have rushed over today. If the cooperation fell through because of her, she would feel guilty. Just as Chu Yi was hesitating whether to speak up, she saw Song Ting turn around and glare at her. She immediately understood and followed him. On the way back, Chu Yi wanted to thank him several times, but she didn¡¯t know how to say it. ¡°In the future, if you encounter such a situation, don¡¯t swallow your anger. This kind of person will do it again. He knows that you¡¯re easy to bully, and he¡¯ll bully you every time. You¡¯re my secretary, you represent me, and I¡¯ll support you from behind. You don¡¯t have to swallow your anger,¡± Song Ting¡¯s tone was low again. It was obvious that he was in a bad mood. Chu Yi lowered her head and said, ¡°President, I¡¯m sorry. It¡¯s all because of me this time¡­¡± ¡°Did you do anything wrong? Apologize? Humph.¡± Song Ting frowned and looked at her unhappily. ¡°The other party is in the wrong. This is workplace sexual harassment. If you follow me in the future, this situation will not be less, you cannot cause trouble, but you can¡¯t be afraid of trouble. You represent the Song Corporation. If you are bullied, it is equivalent to them slapping the Song Corporation in the face. You always have the Song Corporation behind you, do you know that?¡± Chu Yi could not hold back the tears in her eyes when she heard Song Ting¡¯s words. ¡°Yes, I know what to do in the future.¡± Song Ting heard her sobbing and turned to see Chu Yi looking out the window. She then secretly wiped her tears away. Thinking that Chu Yi must have been frightened just now, Song Ting lowered his head and looked at his wrinkled suit. He lowered his voice and said, ¡°Don¡¯t be afraid in the future. I¡¯ll be right behind you. Don¡¯t worry.¡± Chu Yi did not turn back. She wiped her tears with the back of her hand. For a moment, she felt as if she had returned to her worst moments in the past. A group of people surrounded her and looked at her with the same eyes as CEO Zhang and the others, saying similar words. She had done nothing wrong, but she was still being criticized. And it was precisely because these people insisted that the victim was guilty that she was almost expelled from school in the end. If someone like Song Ting had stood up for her back then, maybe she wouldn¡¯t have ended up in that situation. With these thoughts in mind, Chu Yi wiped away her tears and said gratefully, ¡°CEO Song, thank you so much!¡± ¡°Oh.¡± Song Ting smiled strangely and replied, ¡°Don¡¯t thank me just yet. Go home and pack your things. We¡¯ll be gathering at the company in 40 minutes.¡± ¡°Ah?¡± Chu Yi still hadn¡¯t recovered from her earlier emotions. ¡°What? I¡¯ve already asked Wang Lin to book a plane ticket. The flight to A City leaves in two hours. There are some factories there that we can collaborate with. Go home and get ready.¡± Song Ting didn¡¯t even look up as he kept typing something on his phone. Chu Yi was surprised by how quickly Song Ting had come up with a Plan B. She let out a sigh. She had originally thought that she could work overtime on the weekend and finish her draft of the comic that she had agreed on. It seemed that the plan could not keep up with the changes. As expected, not everyone could be the CEO¡¯s secretary. If you find any errors ( broken links, non-standard content, etc.. ), Please let us know via our discord so we can fix it as soon as possible. Chapter 11 Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio Looking at the lights on the ground getting further away, Chu Yi felt that it was unreal. In just a few days, she had not only become the CEO¡¯s secretary but was also going on a business trip in a hurry. Seeing Wang Lin in high spirits, Chu Yi was also a little impressed. She wondered how Wang Lin had endured such a lifestyle in the past. ¡°Ah, this kind of thing happens often. You¡¯ll get used to it. Fortunately, I will be free after a while.¡± Wang Lin winked playfully. Chu Yi smiled awkwardly and politely. Only God knew the pain in her heart. Indeed, earning money was not easy. What Chu Yi did not expect was that they arrived at their destination in the early morning hours, but the employees of the A City branch were still working overtime in the company. When they received the notice from the CEO that he was coming, almost everyone stayed up all night to prepare the plan and waited for Song Ting and his group to arrive. Chu Yi didn¡¯t rest at all on the plane. Wang Lin kept explaining to her the potential manufacturers they could cooperate with this time. She even had information on the important leaders of the other party. Chu Yi used all her brain cells and recorded the key points in the small notebook she carried with her, afraid that she would make another mistake. She thought she had made sufficient preparations and wouldn¡¯t make any mistakes during her work, but Chu Yi still underestimated the other party. It could also be said that she had underestimated the charm of her CEO. Unlike CEO Zhang¡¯s drinking party, the other party¡¯s manufacturer was more formal in discussing cooperation, but the female representative¡¯s eyes were already glued to Song Ting¡¯s face. Not only that, but she would even stand up sometimes, intentionally or unintentionally, and then bend down to reveal her ample cleavage. Chu Yi didn¡¯t know where to look every time. There were a few times when Song Ting almost made a mistake when he asked for documents. However, Wang Lin was already used to this situation. Song Ting would always have talent scouts force his name card when he went out. Even flight attendants would take turns asking for his phone number. She was used to these small scenes and would always block the way of the female representatives. The negotiation was finally coming to an end. The representative¡¯s soft voice sounded, ¡°CEO Song, we¡¯ve prepared a celebration party for you. I¡¯ll have a few drinks with you.¡± After saying that, she did not forget to squeeze her cleavage again. Chu Yi felt embarrassed and lowered her head. This was the first time she had seen a woman seduce Song Ting so blatantly. However, Song Ting¡¯s gaze didn¡¯t linger on the other party¡¯s face at all. He left the meeting room directly. Just as the other party wanted to get closer, Wang Lin blocked her. She looked at the other party disdainfully and said, ¡°You¡¯re not qualified.¡± Then, she grabbed Chu Yi, who was already dazed and left with Song Ting. Looking at Chu Yi, whose ears were red, Wang Lin smiled and said, ¡°This is nothing. If you¡¯re embarrassed now, how will you handle it in the future?¡± Then, she whispered into Chu Yi¡¯s ear, ¡°It¡¯s not just women who do this. There are also men who throw themselves at CEO Song. You don¡¯t know how charming our CEO is¡­¡± ¡°Cough, cough.¡± Song Ting pretended to cough twice. He turned around and saw Chu Yi with a shocked expression and Wang Lin with a smile on her face. Fortunately, hard work paid off. After working overtime for four or five days, the cooperation was finally finalized, and Wang Lin was exhausted. Wang Lin persisted until the last moment of signing the contract. With a smile, she saw off all the guests but eventually collapsed on the ground. Chu Yi was also exhausted, but she reacted quickly and caught Wang Lin before she hit the ground. They rushed Wang Lin to the hospital. Wang Lin smelled the fragrance of the food and woke up from hunger. When she woke up, she saw Chu Yi, who looked anxious, and Song Ting, who looked expressionless. ¡°CEO Song.¡± Wang Lin tried to get up, but Song Ting stopped her and said, ¡°We only have a bit of finishing work left. You need to stay in the hospital for two days.¡± Chu Yi brought over a bowl of porridge. ¡°The doctor said you should eat light food for the next few days. I made you some porridge and a few side dishes. You must be hungry.¡± Seeing the eight-treasure porridge and a few exquisite side dishes that Chu Yi brought over, Wang Lin was so touched that she was about to cry. ¡°Delicious! Oh my god, Chu Yi, your cooking skills are amazing!¡± Wang Lin praised as she ate. Fortunately, the hotel that Song Ting had reserved had a kitchen. Otherwise, Chu Yi would have been unable to cook even if she wanted to. Chu Yi had spent over three hours cooking this bowl of porridge and had carefully selected all the ingredients from the supermarket. ¡°CEO Song, you should have some too. I don¡¯t think you¡¯ve eaten much today,¡± Chu Yi offered a bowl of porridge to Song Ting. Upon seeing this, Wang Lin wanted to say, ¡°I gave you the tenth rule in the electronic document, which is that CEO Song shouldn¡¯t eat outside food casually.¡± But unexpectedly, Song Ting accepted the bowl and began to eat. Seeing Song Ting¡¯s satisfied expression, Wang Lin was reassured that Chu Yi¡¯s cooking skills were indeed impressive and that she had put a lot of effort into making the porridge.

Chapter 12 Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio Chu Yi confirmed that Wang Lin was fine before following Song Ting back to the branch office. Although there was only the final wrapping up work left, Chu Yi was still exhausted due to the absence of Wang Lin. By the time she finished her work, it was almost nine o¡¯clock in the evening. At this moment, Song Ting, who had just finished a call with Wan Ping, looked unhappy. His grandmother was asking why he didn¡¯t bring her granddaughter-in-law back home. He wanted to say that the woman had cheated on him, but he thought that grandma still valued this woman very much. Moreover, she must have been carefully selected for him. She shouldn¡¯t have done anything out of line. For a moment, he also had some doubts. Could it be that he was too impulsive at that time and had some misunderstandings? He saw Chu Yi sitting on the sofa, holding her neck and looking exhausted. The Chu Yi in front of him had a slight resemblance to the ¡°Chu Yi¡± in his memory. They both had fair complexions and were not too tall. Song Ting quickly shook his head and dispelled this ridiculous thought. ¡°President.¡± Seeing Song Ting return, Chu Yi quickly stood up. Song Ting stared at her for a while. ¡°Would a woman allow a man, other than her husband, to call her ¡®dear¡¯?¡± Chu Yi widened her eyes, looking incredulous. However, when she saw Song Ting¡¯s serious expression, she thought about it seriously again. It seemed like it was possible. Didn¡¯t Tian Peng just call her and Xu Yin ¡®dear¡¯? ¡°Uh, it seems possible. I have a pretty good male friend who could be considered a childhood friend. We also call each other that.¡± Chu Yi pondered her wording. Song Ting was a little puzzled, ¡°But would you also hug each other?¡± Chu Yi was even more surprised. Could it be that the CEO¡¯s wife was caught being intimate with a male friend? ¡°It depends on the situation,¡± she said carefully. ¡°For example, if something happy happens, we could hug and celebrate together. Or in an emergency, we might hug each other for safety reasons.¡± ¡°Emergency safety?¡± Song Ting repeated. Indeed, that day someone had thrown trash down from upstairs, and the man had hugged ¡®Chu Yi¡¯ to protect her. Did he really misunderstand? Chu Yi, who was baffled by Song Ting¡¯s question, returned to her room and continued thinking about this matter. Unfortunately, Wang Lin was not there. Otherwise, the two of them could have chatted more. Thinking about Wang Lin, who was still pitifully in the hospital ward, Chu Yi also prepared the ingredients for the soup the next day. For the past two days, Wang Lin had not eaten the nutritious meals provided by the hospital at all. She relied on Chu Yi to deliver food to survive. If Song Ting had not followed her over every time, she would have asked Chu Yi if she wanted to come to her house after she gave birth. She would love to have a caring, pretty assistant who was good at cooking. ¡°You¡¯re usually so gentle and delicate. Your family must spoil you a lot, right? I didn¡¯t expect you to have such good cooking skills at such a young age.¡± Wang Lin finished all the food in front of her and couldn¡¯t help but sigh with satisfaction. ¡°When I was young, I was mostly alone at home. When I got hungry, I had to cook for myself.¡± Chu Yi didn¡¯t say much, but Wang Lin could tell that she might not have had a very happy childhood. Otherwise, how many girls in their twenties can cook? Seeing Chu Yi¡¯s disappointed expression, Song Ting also felt a little uneasy. Thinking about Chu Yi¡¯s stubborn expression when she was bullied that day, Song Ting said, ¡°Take an afternoon off and go to A City to have a look.¡± ¡°Ah?¡± Chu Yi was a little surprised. ¡°You silly girl! Thank the CEO!¡± Wang Lin also gave her a signal, why not quickly accept the CEO¡¯s kindness? ¡°Really? Thank you so much, CEO!¡± Chu Yi said happily and asked Wang Lin, ¡°Do you want to buy a gift for someone? I will go to the Central Building.¡± ¡°Little girls go to the Central Building? Who are you going to buy the gift for?¡± Wang Lin finally regained her energy and was curious. ¡°My favorite blind box was just released in A City two days ago, and our city doesn¡¯t have it yet. I want to try my luck. And my friend likes it too, so I want to buy it for her as a gift.¡± The smile on Chu Yi¡¯s face grew deeper when she thought of her favorite blind box. Wang Lin looked helpless. ¡°These are all things that little girls like. You can go. Just remember to bring me some food.¡± ¡°Get me one too. A blind box? It¡¯s called a blind box, right?¡± Song Ting suddenly said. Upon hearing Song Ting¡¯s words, Chu Yi and Wang Lin were both puzzled. ¡°CEO Song, are you planning to give a blind box to Madam?¡± Wang Lin couldn¡¯t understand Song Ting¡¯s thoughts at all. Song Ting, however, looked completely unperturbed. ¡°Didn¡¯t you say that all little girls like these things?¡± If you find any errors ( broken links, non-standard content, etc.. ), Please let us know via our discord so we can fix it as soon as possible. Chapter 13 Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio On the airplane, Wang Lin had already blocked several flight attendants and passengers who came over to ask for Song Ting¡¯s phone number. Finally, Song Ting lost his temper and called the purser over. Only then did he have some peace around him. Chu Yi watched all of this silently. Suddenly, she thought of what Wang Lin had said, ¡°There are men who throw themselves at him.¡± She shivered again. When she saw the financial magazine on the back of the plane seat, she was so shocked that she couldn¡¯t speak. #The Zhang Corporation is accused of embezzling patents or paying more than 100 million dollars in compensation. The CEO was in a car accident when he escaped and is currently unconscious# ¡°President, that CEO Zhang, CEO Zhang got into a car accident.¡± Chu Yi was so frightened that she was stuttering. However, Song Ting only said, ¡°He won¡¯t die.¡± Chu Yi widened her eyes in disbelief. Song Ting was still working on the documents in his hands and did not even look up. Wang Lin shook her head slightly at her. Chu Yi understood. It seemed that Wang Lin was already used to this kind of thing. Chu Yi couldn¡¯t describe her feelings. As expected, those who offended CEO Song did not have a good ending. ¡°Are you afraid of such a trivial matter?¡± Song Ting raised his head and looked at the pale Chu Yi. Chu Yi bit her lower lip and said, ¡°No.¡± Looking at her fearful yet determined gaze, Song Ting only smiled. ¡°Everyone has the skill of verbal talk.¡± Song Ting lowered his head again, and Wang Lin gave Chu Yi a reassuring look. Chu Yi suddenly realized that she knew very little about the CEO. She had become the president¡¯s assistant without knowing anything. She only knew that the president was a decisive and cunning man. However, there were also rumors that the CEO had dealt with all the shareholders with malicious intentions in less than a year, and at less than 30 years old, he had already shown such ruthless tactics against traitors and opponents. Other than having the ability, it could only prove that this person was ruthless. As long as it was a traitor or an opponent, he would never show mercy. However, when she thought of Song Ting preparing flowers and giving his wife a full set of blind boxes. Whenever he mentioned his wife, he had a gentle expression on his face. Even when she was humiliated, he would take the initiative to protect her, his subordinate¡­ Chu Yi felt that no matter what the rumors were, she would definitely stand on Song Ting¡¯s side, as they were on the same team. With this thought, Chu Yi suddenly felt unafraid and dozed off in a daze. On the way back to the city, Song Ting asked Chu Yi to order flowers and Wang Lin to select two pieces of jewelry from the previous auction. Song Ting thought of Chu Yi¡¯s words about ¡°emergency safety¡± from the other day, and a smile appeared on his face. Indeed, he had been too anxious that day. Under those circumstances, what he had seen might not have been true. As Song Ting stood in front of the unit in the Fashion Garden with flowers in hand, he happened to see ¡°Chu Yi¡± again. Xu Yin was carrying a large kraft paper bag as she walked past him. Just as Song Ting was about to speak, the handle of the bag suddenly broke, causing the items inside to scatter all over the ground. When Song Ting saw what had fallen on the ground, he felt like he couldn¡¯t breathe, and he wanted to reach out to help, but he couldn¡¯t bring himself to do it. On the ground were condoms and men¡¯s underwear. There were colorful condom boxes and men¡¯s underwear of all kinds of colors¡­ Xu Yin was busy picking up the items on the ground and did not notice the petrified Song Ting beside her. Just then, Tian Peng rushed over with a stack of documents. ¡°Darling, I told you to wait for me.¡± Seeing the mess on the ground, Tian Peng complained, ¡°This is too much. I told you not to take so much!¡± ¡°Ah, why are you so long-winded? It¡¯s useful anyway. It doesn¡¯t matter if I take more. It won¡¯t expire.¡± Xu Yin continued to pick up the fallen condoms. ¡°Excuse me, could you move aside?¡± Just as Xu Yin was speaking, one of the boxes of condoms was stepped on by Song Ting¡¯s shoes. Song Ting quickly lifted his foot and rubbed it hard on the ground, as if he had stepped on something dirty. ¡°There¡¯s something wrong with him.¡± Xu Yin cursed him in her heart. However, she heard the man above her ask, ¡°What¡¯s your relationship with him?¡± ¡°Huh?¡± Xu Yin stood up, looking at the rather handsome man with some confusion. ¡°I¡¯m asking you, what¡¯s your relationship with this man?¡± Song Ting¡¯s eyes filled with anger. Tian Peng also felt that something was wrong. He quickly walked over to shield Xu Yin behind him. ¡°Sir, what do you want?¡± Seeing the woman hiding behind the man, Song Ting clenched his fists and glared at the two of them. Then he turned around and slammed the car door shut. The driver saw what happened and quickly drove off, leaving behind the perplexed Xu Yin and Tian Peng.

Chapter 14 Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio ¡°Did you know that person just now?¡± Tian Peng asked, feeling curious. ¡°Do you think I know him?¡± Xu Yin replied, rolling her eyes. The two of them spent almost all their time together, except when one of them went to the bathroom. How could Tian Peng not know someone Xu Yin knew? When they saw Chu Yi running over, they were both surprised. Chu Yi was a little excited and said, ¡°The boss and Madam are having a candlelit dinner tonight, so I got off work early again!¡± ¡°Fortunately, you weren¡¯t here just now. I ran into a handsome pervert,¡± Xu Yin said, still having lingering fears from the scene just now. The man¡¯s eyes looked as though he wanted to eat someone, which made Xu Yin feel even more scared. Tian Peng really couldn¡¯t stand Xu Yin¡¯s infatuation and said, ¡°So what if he¡¯s a pervert? What handsome pervert? Don¡¯t just judge people by their looks, or you¡¯ll regret it later.¡± ¡°He¡¯s indeed handsome. Didn¡¯t you see?¡± Xu Yin felt a little regretful. ¡°But it seems like he¡¯s not very smart. He might even be mentally ill. Oh well, let¡¯s not talk about him anymore. We¡¯ll just avoid him in the future. Chu Yi, help me carry some things.¡± Chu Yi was a little surprised as she helped to take the things. ¡°Huh? Why did you take so many condoms? And underwear?¡± ¡°We agreed on a collaboration two days ago. They¡¯re making an animated version of the promotion, and they sent me the new products today,¡± Xu Yin explained. ¡°Tian Peng is lucky. There is so much underwear here, it¡¯s probably enough for him to wear until he retires. And they won¡¯t expire, so he¡¯ll save money.¡± Tian Peng had a look of disdain on his face. ¡°Next time, I¡¯ll try to get you a partnership with women¡¯s underwear and sanitary pads.¡± Upon hearing Tian Peng¡¯s words, Chu Yi and Xu Yin exchanged a glance and then nodded frantically. If there was such cooperation, it would be wonderful just thinking about it. Meanwhile, Tian Peng could only describe his feelings as ¡°speechless.¡± At the same time, Song Ting¡¯s mood was completely ruined. If the previous scene of hugging could be seen as an accident, this definitely wasn¡¯t. Condoms, men¡¯s underwear, and ¡°darling,¡± weren¡¯t they enough to prove that the two were having an affair? Thinking about the condoms scattered on the floor and the woman¡¯s words ¡°It won¡¯t expire,¡± Song Ting hit the seat hard in anger. What was even more despicable was that the woman didn¡¯t even recognize him. How dare she betray him! When the driver saw Song Ting¡¯s expression, he did not dare to breathe loudly. Song Ting intended to hang up the phone when he heard it ringing, but he still answered it when he saw that it was his grandma calling. ¡°You promised to bring my granddaughter-in-law back today. Where are you guys?¡± Wan Ping said with a smile. ¡°We¡¯ll be back soon.¡± After saying that, Song Ting hung up the phone and closed his eyes. Wan Ping had been waiting at home for a few hours. When she saw Song Ting¡¯s car entering the villa, she hurried to the door to greet him. ¡°Aren¡¯t you supposed to pick up Chu Yi? Why did you come back alone?¡± The old lady looked behind him, but there was nobody there. ¡°You didn¡¯t pick up Chu Yi, did you? Are you lying to me again?¡± Song Ting saw his grandma¡¯s slightly hunched figure and couldn¡¯t bear to see it. He supported her and said, ¡°Grandma, let¡¯s go inside. I have something to tell you.¡± After guiding his grandma to the living room, Song Ting gestured for the servants to leave. Wan Ping sensed that something was wrong and asked softly, ¡°Did you not meet Chu Yi?¡± ¡°Grandma, please let me say this first. Don¡¯t be angry when you hear what I have to say,¡± Song Ting said hesitantly. Wan Ping held her grandson¡¯s hand tightly and said, ¡°Go ahead, my dear. Grandma is listening.¡± The corners of Song Ting¡¯s mouth twitched, and after more than ten seconds, he finally said, ¡°I want a divorce.¡± ¡°What? How can this be? Absolutely cannot!¡± Wan Ping was taken aback by her grandson¡¯s request for a divorce as soon as he came home, and she immediately objected. ¡°Grandma, please don¡¯t be angry. Listen to me,¡± Song Ting said, thinking of his Grandma¡¯s high blood pressure, Song Ting did not dare to continue. ¡°How can I not be angry? Look at you! You left for a whole year without any news. What do you want Chu Yi to think? You come back only to ask for a divorce. You have to know that she¡¯s in her twenties, and without even having spent a day with her husband, she will become a divorced woman. How could you do such a thing?¡± The old lady hit Song Ting with her hand as she spoke, indicating how puzzled and upset she was with her grandson¡¯s decision. If Song Ting had a suitable partner or was willing to date, she would not interfere with his love life. However, this young man had been so focused on studying and working since childhood that he had never interacted with women, let alone dated anyone. That was why she and her best friend had arranged for their grandchildren to get engaged and married. But she did not expect her grandson to want to divorce his wife the moment he returned home.

Chapter 15 Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio Upon seeing grandma¡¯s angry expression, Song Ting finally spoke up, ¡°Grandma, she has another man and is living with him.¡± ¡°How is that possible? Are you sure you¡¯re not mistaken?¡± This was Wan Ping¡¯s initial thought. Chu Yi was a girl she had seen before. She was gentle, quiet, and beautiful. She had always liked this granddaughter-in-law. Chu Yi was like a little white rabbit. She couldn¡¯t imagine Chu Yi doing anything out of line, let alone having an affair while married. ¡°Grandma, there¡¯s no mistake about this. I¡¯ve been there twice and I¡¯ve seen it with my own eyes. She¡¯s indeed living with another man,¡± Song Ting said, not wanting to say more about what he had witnessed. Seeing her grandson¡¯s expression, Wan Ping knew that this matter might be true. Although Song Ting did not agree to this marriage, since he had agreed to get married, he would treat Chu Yi well. If he were to ask for a divorce now, Chu Yi would have crossed his bottom line. ¡°Why don¡¯t I ask Chu Yi about this? Maybe it¡¯s really a misunderstanding,¡± Wan Ping said, despite trusting her grandson¡¯s words. ¡°Grandma, there¡¯s no need to ask anymore. I won¡¯t lie to you. She even bought lots of underwear and condoms for that man¡­¡± Song Ting trailed off, unable to continue. Hearing this, Wan Ping was deflated. Song Ting had probably seen even more than he had said. Otherwise, why would he ask for a divorce? ¡°Then, do you have to get a divorce?¡± Wan Ping did not want them to get a divorce, but when he thought of her grandson¡¯s temper, she was afraid that he could not be kind. Song Ting said, ¡°Yes, I must get a divorce.¡± Wan Ping closed her eyes. If this marriage that she had met once ended in divorce, she really couldn¡¯t accept it. However, she thought that Chu Yi might already have someone she liked, and the two of them might even be living together. Not to mention whether Song Ting could accept it, Chu Yi was probably also unwilling to accept this marriage. ¡°Good child, grandma knows that you¡¯ve been wronged this time.¡± ¡°But you have to understand,¡± Wan Ping said with great difficulty. ¡°She¡¯s just a little girl who hasn¡¯t seen her husband since she got married. It¡¯s normal for her to meet someone she likes after such a long time. Look, can you give each other some leeway regarding the divorce and not make things awkward? Song Ting asked, ¡°Leeway? How can I give the leeway?¡± ¡°Since that child already has someone she likes, why don¡¯t we let her file for a divorce? Just consider it as giving grandma some face, okay?¡± Wan Ping also knew her grandson¡¯s personality. He must get a divorce, but she did not want to see the two families fall out too much. ¡°Give her face? Why didn¡¯t she think about her dignity when she betrayed me?¡± Song Ting couldn¡¯t hold back his anger, especially when he thought of the condoms on the floor. ¡°Grandma, if it weren¡¯t for you, I would have dealt with this adulterous couple a long time ago. What dignity would I have left?¡± Wan Ping quickly pulled his grandson back. ¡°If you want to blame someone, blame grandma. It was grandma who insisted that you get married. Otherwise, things wouldn¡¯t have turned out like this. This time, listen to me one last time. Whether you want to get married or get a divorce in the future, grandma won¡¯t interfere anymore, okay?¡± When Song Ting saw his grandma, who had doted on him since he was young, looking at him with pleading eyes, he softened his heart and said, ¡°Alright, but only this once.¡± The next morning, when Chu Yi arrived at the office, she saw the blind box set that she had carefully selected neatly arranged on her desk. The wrapping paper was not even opened. Seeing the president¡¯s dark face, Chu Yi understood once again. It seemed that Madam did not like blind boxes that only little girls would like. Madam¡¯s preferences were hard to grasp. After Chu Yi finished reporting her morning work, she asked tentatively, ¡°President, what should we do with the blind box?¡± ¡°Throw it away, or keep it for yourself,¡± replied Song Ting in an indifferent tone. Chu Yi thought about how she had begged many people to give her the hidden models and spent a lot of money to gather the entire set. She still felt a little heartbroken knowing that it was going to be thrown away just like that. It seemed that she had to take it back. Just as she was about to leave, she heard Song Ting calling out to her, ¡°Chu Yi?¡± ¡°Yes, president. Do you have any other instructions?¡± Chu Yi quickly turned around. Song Ting waved his finger and said, ¡°Move out of the office. Don¡¯t hang around in front of me!¡± If you find any errors ( broken links, non-standard content, etc.. ), Please let us know via our discord so we can fix it as soon as possible. Chapter 16 Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio Chu Yi repeatedly said yes and left the CEO¡¯s office with a puzzled expression. Wang Lin was a little surprised as she watched Chu Yi tidy up the documents on the table and put away her laptop and asked, ¡°Where are you going?¡± Chu Yi felt a little helpless and replied, ¡°The CEO asked me to move out.¡± Seeing Chu Yi struggling to put away the blind box carefully, Wang Lin finally understood. Especially when she thought of the CEO¡¯s sour face¡­ Wang Lin whispered to Chu Yi, ¡°He¡¯s unsatisfied.¡± Then, she watched Chu Yi return to the president¡¯s office. Wang Lin and Chu Yi were both working in the semi-open office in front of the CEO¡¯s office. This way, if Song Ting needed someone, his secretary could arrive in time. Now that Chu Yi had brought her things back, many people were gloating. Among them, Liu Sheng was the happiest. ¡°Hey, isn¡¯t this Secretary Chu? It¡¯s only been a few days, and she¡¯s already been kicked out?¡± Liu Sheng said sarcastically. Chu Yi also knew his character and didn¡¯t even look at him as she returned to her previous position. But just as she sat down, Chu Yi received a message from Wang Lin saying that she needed some documents. She had no choice but to quickly organize the documents and send them over. After Chu Yi reported the contents of the information, Song Ting¡¯s eyes looked a little unhappy. He then waved his hand to let Chu Yi go back. However, just as she returned to the president¡¯s office and sat down, Song Ting sent another message, ¡°Two cups of black coffee.¡± Chu Yi had no choice but to make the coffee. In order not to disturb Wang Lin, she had specially prepared a glass of milk. Chu Yi didn¡¯t go inside the CEO¡¯s office this time. Thinking that the president was in a bad mood, she just stood at the door of the office. When Wang Lin saw the milk, she knew that Chu Yi had prepared it for her. She said, ¡°Thank you.¡± and hurried back to the office. Similar things happened seven or eight times in the morning, and Chu Yi felt like she had run a marathon in the morning. She didn¡¯t leave until lunchtime and just wanted to curl up in her seat and take a good nap. However, even then, someone didn¡¯t want her to relax. Liu Sheng came back with some takeout and saw Chu Yi looking tired. Seeing Chu Yi repeatedly going back and forth to the CEO¡¯s office in the morning, anyone could tell that the CEO was intentionally tormenting her. The previous CEO¡¯s assistant who had been tormented like this wanted to use her youth and beauty to climb the career ladder. She was tortured by Song Ting for a few days at work and then fired. Thinking that Chu Yi might face the same ¡°treatment,¡± Liu Sheng felt much better. ¡°Some people just overestimate themselves. She tried to seduce CEO Song, but she got kicked out instead, right?¡± Liu Sheng moved closer to her. ¡°Chu Yi, do you know that the last assistant who tried to seduce CEO Song did the same thing for a few days before being fired? I heard that no other company dared to hire her after that. Tsk tsk, what a tragic ending.¡± During the lunch break, someone was on duty in the president¡¯s office, and a few colleagues were in the office as well. Hearing Liu Sheng¡¯s words, they all looked over. Seeing that everyone was looking over, Liu Sheng felt smug. ¡°Some people think that being the CEO¡¯s secretary means they can seduce CEO Song, but they don¡¯t realize that the higher they climb, the harder they fall!¡± Chu Yi had finally had enough and said, ¡°Liu Sheng, is this how you speak of CEO Song in the president¡¯s office? Do you think he¡¯s just someone who covets beauty? You are an employee of the Song Corporation, please be mindful of your behavior.¡± Liu Sheng, seeing Chu Yi angry and still dared to talk back. He could not help but be a little angry. ¡°Let¡¯s wait and see. One day, you¡¯ll regret it!¡± Meanwhile, in the CEO¡¯s office, Song Ting was looking at the divorce agreement sent by his lawyer. The document stated that he had committed adultery and the corresponding compensation clause. Finally, a smile appeared on his face. Song Ting didn¡¯t need money, but the thought of making Chu Yi suffer brought him some satisfaction. Thinking about the expression on her face when she saw the divorce agreement made him feel much better. ¡°CEO, I brought your lunch,¡± Wang Lin said and rubbed her sore waist as she walked in. Recently, Chu Yi had been doing all the errands lately, and she wasn¡¯t used to it when it was suddenly her turn. Seeing Wang Lin¡¯s expression, Song Ting frowned and asked, ¡°Why are you here? Where is Chu Yi?¡± ¡°Didn¡¯t you tell her to go out and work this morning? She went back to the president¡¯s office,¡± Wang Lin reminded him. At that moment, Song Ting was in a fit of anger and had completely forgotten about it. ¡°When did I say that? Tell her to come back quickly and not to delay her work.¡± If you find any errors ( broken links, non-standard content, etc.. ), Please let us know via our discord so we can fix it as soon as possible. Chapter 17 Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio Just as Liu Sheng and the others in the president¡¯s office thought that Chu Yi would be the next one to be fired, they did not expect Wang Lin to inform Chu Yi to move back quickly. Chu Yi sighed. Whenever the CEO and Madam quarreled, she would be affected. Seeing several colleagues step forward to help, Liu Sheng¡¯s eyes were filled with resentment and a hint of malice. This Chu Yi was indeed capable. Even in such a situation, she was still able to return to the CEO¡¯s office. As Chu Yi left, Liu Sheng watched her departure and clenched his fists tightly. ¡°You forced me to do this.¡± Chu Yi, who had returned to her seat, was also frightened in the afternoon. Fortunately, although the afternoon was busy, Song Ting did not torment her anymore. However, Chu Yi did not expect to leave work on time. Wang Lin was feeling unwell and had already gone home, leaving Chu Yi as the only secretary remaining. Since the CEO had not yet left, she could not leave either. After all, she followed the CEO¡¯s schedule. Chu Yi saw that Song Ting kept making phone calls and prayed that nothing bad would happen. In the office, Song Ting was a little annoyed. ¡°Just brush it off if the old lady asks. Don¡¯t mention the divorce agreement.¡± The lawyer had just drafted the divorce agreement when Wan Ping called to ask if Song Ting wanted a divorce. At that time, the lawyer did not know that the divorce agreement was being kept secret from the old lady and directly told her everything. Of course, the one who was scolded in the end was Song Ting. ¡°Yes, you find a way to contact that woman and make her initiate the divorce. Don¡¯t let the old lady know about it.¡± After hanging up the phone, Song Ting rubbed his temple, feeling overwhelmed by the tricky situation. Since he had promised to save face for the old lady, Song Ting couldn¡¯t take the initiative to ask for a divorce. However, he needed to ensure that the woman quickly filed for a divorce. Otherwise, Song Ting would explode in anger. Just thinking about how that woman was not only having an affair but also didn¡¯t recognize her husband and couldn¡¯t even remember his name made him furious. As he was getting angry, Shen Kai called him. ¡°Hello! Young Master Song, are you done with work yet? Come to Blue Night quickly. We just got the new wine in. Don¡¯t say I didn¡¯t take care of you!¡± The noisy voice on the phone made it clear that Shen Kai was at a bar. Song Ting had initially wanted to refuse, but he was feeling frustrated and agreed. ¡°President.¡± Seeing Song Ting leave the office, Chu Yi quickly stood up. ¡°You can go back now. You¡¯ve finished work.¡± Song Ting didn¡¯t stop and went straight to the elevator. Chu Yi, who could finally get off work, also planned to treat herself to something nice. She hadn¡¯t eaten anything since lunch and was starving. But when she got home, she found out that Xu Yin and Tian Peng hadn¡¯t come back. She called them and found out that they had to work overtime to finish the draft today. Chu Yi had no choice but to quickly cook some noodles and bake some biscuits and egg tarts. She planned to comfort her hardworking friends, but her phone rang as soon as she went downstairs. ¡°President?¡± Chu Yi was puzzled. ¡°Come to Blue Night, private room 303. Your CEO drank too much, so come and pick him up.¡± The voice on the other end of the phone was unfamiliar, and the surroundings were a little noisy. Before Chu Yi could clarify who the caller was, the person hung up. Chu Yi was a little speechless. Wasn¡¯t this the time when President Shen and Madam were having a good time? Thinking about her as the CEO¡¯s secretary and Wang Lin¡¯s current health condition, Chu Yi had no choice but to hail a taxi to the Blue Night Bar. It was Chu Yi¡¯s first time coming to a high-class bar like Blue Night. To be precise, it was Chu Yi¡¯s first time coming to a bar. Fortunately, the person with Song Ting had already given her instructions, and a waiter at the door led her to a private room on the third floor. When she opened the door, Chu Yi was also a little surprised. There were a few drunk men and women in the private room. The smoke in the private room was choking, so she could not see clearly. ¡°Hey, a beauty.¡± A man stood up. ¡°Beauty, Song Ting is here.¡± Chu Yi walked over when she heard someone talking. She could tell that it was the man who had just called her. As she approached, she saw Song Ting, who was already drunk. He was leaning on the bar counter, making it difficult to see his face.

Chapter 18 Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio The man who spoke looked Chu Yi up and down. ¡°Song Ting, your new secretary is pretty. You look like a monk. Such a beautiful secretary is being wasted.¡± Then he turned to Chu Yi and said, ¡°What¡¯s your name? Why don¡¯t you work with me?¡± Hearing the man¡¯s suggestive words and seeing him holding a blonde mixed-race beauty in his left hand, eyeing her up, Chu Yi felt uncomfortable. As she had already gotten off work, Chu Yi was not wearing her work clothes. Instead, she wore a white sporty dress. Her high ponytail made her look more energetic. And, since she had removed her makeup, she appeared younger than her actual age. Chu Yi also recognized the man in front of her. He was the young master of the Shen Corporation, Shen Kai. It was hard for Chu Yi not to know about him. She could see gossip about him almost every week. He slept with almost every popular female celebrity in the entertainment industry. Chu Yi took a closer look at the mixed-race beauty beside him. Wasn¡¯t she a female celebrity from a talent show? However, Chu Yi did not pay attention to Shen Kai. Instead, she lowered her head and asked about Song Ting¡¯s condition. ¡°President, are you okay? I¡¯m Chu Yi. Shall I send you back now?¡± Seeing that Chu Yi ignored him, Shen Kai became unhappy. ¡°Chu Yi? Is that your name? How about you work with me? I¡¯ll double your salary!¡± Shen Kai grabbed Chu Yi¡¯s arm as he spoke, but he did not expect Song Ting to grab his wrist. ¡°How dare you touch my people?¡± ¡°Tsk!¡± Shen Kai retracted his hand. ¡°No wonder she didn¡¯t even look at me. It turns out that she has taken a fancy to you.¡± ¡°Yong Master Shen, please show some restraint,¡± Chu Yi said, visibly displeased and with a more aloof expression. Shen Kai was like a child who had just discovered an amusing toy. He leaned closer to Chu Yi. ¡°Oh, are you embarrassed that I¡¯ve guessed your thoughts? Song Ting is a monk. He won¡¯t interest in you, so why not follow me? I¡­¡± Before Shen Kai could finish, Song Ting covered his mouth with a large hand. Then Song Ting struggled to stand up. ¡°Who asked you to come? Where¡¯s the driver?¡± Chu Yi gave Shen Kai a glance. Shen Kai slapped the hand away from his face. ¡°I just thought you were feeling lonely. We all have someone to keep us warm at night. You¡¯re the only one¡­¡± Shen Kai finally stopped speaking when he saw the murderous look in Song Ting¡¯s eyes. ¡°I was going to call your driver, but I dialed the wrong number.¡± Song Ting rolled his eyes at him. Did he think he could deceive him with such a petty trick? Then he glanced at Chu Yi again, turned around, and walked out. Chu Yi was too familiar with Song Ting¡¯s gaze and immediately followed him. As soon as they reached the entrance of the bar, they saw that Song Ting¡¯s driver had already arrived. Chu Yi breathed a sigh of relief. She had called the driver beforehand. It seemed she had made the right decision. As soon as Chu Yi got into the passenger seat, Song Ting instructed, ¡°Go to the riverside villa.¡± Then she heard Song Ting make a phone call to someone, saying, ¡°Go to the riverside villa. I¡¯ll be there in half an hour. Get ready.¡± When they got out of the car, Song Ting¡¯s breathing was labored. Chu Yi also noticed that the back of his neck was red, and his eyes appeared to be slightly swollen, although it was not very noticeable in the darkness. Song Ting did not ask the driver to follow them inside, so Chu Yi had no choice but to follow him inside. As soon as the door of the villa was closed, the living room lights lit up, and Song Ting immediately embraced Chu Yi. To be precise, Song Ting fell and grabbed Chu Yi¡¯s shoulder when he fell. Due to inertia, Chu Yi and Song Ting fell straight into the villa¡¯s main door, and Chu Yi hit her lower back on the door handle, letting out a muffled groan. But when she touched Song Ting¡¯s burning skin, she realized that something was wrong. Was he having an allergic reaction? Chu Yi quickly recalled the contents of the manual that Wang Lin had given her. The second drawer of the shoe cabinet in the living room contained desensitizing medicine! At first, Chu Yi didn¡¯t understand why Song Ting even wrote down the locations of the medicines at his home, but now she realized that it was in case of emergencies. Chu Yi helped Song Ting to the living room sofa with difficulty, then found some medicine for him to take. When she saw that Song Ting¡¯s complexion had improved and his breathing had become stable, Chu Yi finally breathed a sigh of relief. At that moment, the doorbell of the villa suddenly rang. Chu Yi felt uneasy when she thought of Song Ting¡¯s phone call just now. Could it be that the CEO had called his wife over? At this moment, she was alone with the CEO. Chu Yi looked at her clothes, which were a little disheveled from being so busy just now. She thought to herself that this situation was not good. If the CEO¡¯s wife misunderstood, wouldn¡¯t she be in deep trouble? ¡°What are you waiting for? Open the door,¡± Song Ting¡¯s voice sounded weak, but his authoritative tone remained. Chu Yi panicked and hastily adjusted her hair and clothing before making her way to the front door. She braced herself for the worst as she opened the door.

Chapter 19 Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio It was a pair of middle-aged men and women. The woman had an ordinary appearance but a slightly compassionate smile on her face. The man was nearly 1.9 meters tall, with a dark complexion and a somewhat menacing expression. ¡°Chu Yi? Secretary Chu, right? What brings you here?¡± the middle-aged woman asked first. Initially, Chu Yi was still a little afraid. However, when she heard that the other party knew who she was, she felt much more relaxed. ¡°You are?¡± she asked. ¡°I¡¯m Zhou Hua, the private doctor of the Song family. This is my brother, Zhou Shuo,¡± Zhou Hua introduced herself and her brother as she rushed into the living room, took out a medical kit, and quickly injected Song Ting. ¡°Song Ting, you¡¯re too careless. This kind of thing can be serious, especially if it happens outside¡­¡± Zhou Hua wanted to nag a few more words, but when she saw Chu Yi standing at the side, she swallowed her words. Chu Yi was quick-witted and said, ¡°CEO Song, the doctor is here. I¡¯ll leave now.¡± ¡°You found out my secret and now you want to leave?¡± Song Ting¡¯s voice rang out, and Zhou Shuo immediately blocked Chu Yi¡¯s way. Chu Yi was speechless. She didn¡¯t know anything. Turning around, she said seriously, ¡°President, I only know that you drank too much, and I sent you back to the villa. I don¡¯t know anything else. I promise!¡± ¡°I¡¯m allergic to beer and barley,¡± Song Ting said and raising his eyebrows and disclosing his condition. Chu Yi was surprised. Wang Lin¡¯s manual did not mention this, but she had never seen Song Ting drink beer. He always drank white or red wine. It turned out that he was allergic to barley. It was only then that Chu Yi realized that she knew the weakness of the CEO of the Song Corporation, the future heir to the entire Song Corporation. If this weakness was discovered by competitors or anyone with malicious intentions, the consequences would be unimaginable. Now that she knew this secret, she looked at Zhou Shuo, who stood almost two meters tall and then looked at Song Ting, whose smile seemed somewhat inscrutable. Her face faded as she began to worry. ¡°Alright.¡± Zhou Hua said sharply, glaring at Song Ting. ¡°Chu Yi, go upstairs to the second room on the left to fill up the bathtub. Then, put this packet of medicine inside. He had a severe allergic reaction today. This could quickly reduce the swelling and itching.¡± Zhou Hua took out a small packet of medicine, but Chu Yi was hesitant to take it. She was a little afraid. She thought of the horror comics she had read with Xu Yin in the past, where there were people who killed people and dismembered their bodies in the bathroom. She became more and more afraid. However, when she took a step back, she bumped into Zhou Shuo again. Song Ting noticed how Chu Yi was trembling like a frightened rabbit and finally chuckled. ¡°That¡¯s enough. You¡¯re my secretary. You¡¯re one of us. Didn¡¯t you say you weren¡¯t afraid of me?¡± ¡°Zhou Shuo¡¯s hand is injured, and he can¡¯t touch water right now. That¡¯s why we¡¯re asking for your help,¡± Zhou Hua explained. Only then did Chu Yi notice the thick gauze wrapped around Zhou Shuo¡¯s right hand. She was just too nervous just now and neglected it. Upon seeing Chu Yi running upstairs quickly, Song Ting¡¯s smile never faded from his lips. ¡°Feeling better now?¡± Zhou Hua noticed Song Ting¡¯s expression and had a better impression of Chu Yi. Previously, when she heard that Wang Lin was resigning, she had been worried that Song Ting might not have a suitable secretary by his side and that something might happen. But now that she had seen Chu Yi, she thought that the young girl was not bad at all. When Song Ting heard Zhou Hua¡¯s words, his smile disappeared. Zhou Hua didn¡¯t continue to say anything. He patted Song Ting¡¯s shoulder and left with Zhou Shuo after making sure that Song Ting was fine. When Chu Yi came down after preparing the bathwater, she saw Song Ting holding his forehead with one hand and the other hand fiddling with his phone, but she didn¡¯t see Zhou Hua and her brother around. ¡°President, the bathwater is ready and the medicine packet is also prepared.¡± Chu Yi asked tentatively, ¡°If there¡¯s nothing else, can I go back?¡± Song Ting frowned and asked, ¡°Are you in a hurry?¡± Chu Yi looked at the time, which was almost eleven o¡¯clock, and said, ¡°It¡¯s late, and it¡¯s not appropriate for a man and a woman to be alone together. What if Madam comes back and misunderstands?¡± ¡°Madam? She will never come back,¡± Song Ting said and went upstairs without paying any more attention to Chu Yi. Chu Yi finally understood why the CEO was drinking today. It was because of Madam. After a restless night, Chu Yi barely slept. She went home, freshened up, and rushed to work. At this time, Xu Yin and Tian Peng had not woken up yet. Chu Yi had only prepared a simple breakfast and rushed to the unit. She didn¡¯t expect Song Ting to come to the company early too. Fortunately, Song Ting didn¡¯t continue to torment her, allowing her to spend the morning in a busy yet peaceful state. It wasn¡¯t until Shen Kai arrived at the company that this peace was shattered.

Chapter 20 Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio Shen Kai was dressed in a casual outfit today. He wore sunglasses on his head and looked sunny and handsome. If it wasn¡¯t for their encounter last night, Chu Yi would have treated him as a pure and sunny young man. ¡°Chu Yi? What a coincidence,¡± Shen Kai said, pretending to be very familiar with her. ¡°Young Master Shen, you¡¯re too polite. How can you say it¡¯s a coincidence that you came to the Song Corporation to see me?¡± Chu Yi replied, implying that Shen Kai was just making small talk. ¡°Well, that means we have fate,¡± Shen Kai winked at Chu Yi. ¡°By the way, where is Song Ting? I have something to discuss with him. Let¡¯s catch up later.¡± Chu Yi was a bit speechless, but she still led him to Song Ting¡¯s office with a professional smile. Meanwhile, some female colleagues who saw Chu Yi and Shen Kai started to gossip. ¡°Isn¡¯t that Shen Kai from the Shen family? Chu Yi knows him?¡± ¡°You mean the Shen Kai who changes female celebrities every three months? No way!¡± ¡°Yes, that¡¯s him! Didn¡¯t he get caught entering and leaving a hotel with a member of a girl group two days ago? Why was he here to look for Chu Yi?¡± ¡°Do you think Chu Yi¡­¡± A few colleagues were talking and speculating, and they came up with a whole storyline. Yan Yun, who was present, defended her good friend, ¡°Don¡¯t talk nonsense. Chu Yi has never been that kind of person.¡± ¡°What do you mean she¡¯s not that kind of person? You can¡¯t judge someone¡¯s character by their appearance,¡± Liu Sheng said and walked over from somewhere. ¡°Some people are just scheming. Otherwise, how could she become the CEO¡¯s secretary? You¡¯re close to her, yet you¡¯re still just a lowly staff in the planning department.¡± ¡°Don¡¯t talk nonsense here. Chu Yi became the CEO¡¯s secretary based on her abilities. Don¡¯t be jealous just because you can¡¯t get the secretary position,¡± Yan Yun couldn¡¯t tolerate Liu Sheng¡¯s attitude and immediately retorted. Seeing Yan Yun refuting him just like Chu Yi, Liu Sheng was extremely angry and said, ¡°Yes, being beautiful, having a good figure, and being ¡®capable¡¯ is also a kind of strength, especially being ¡®capable¡¯, right?¡± Liu Sheng intentionally emphasized the word ¡®capable¡¯, and the female colleagues beside him couldn¡¯t help but smirk. Yan Yun couldn¡¯t refute Liu Sheng, so she turned around and left angrily. Seeing that everyone around him was laughing, especially the female colleagues who had a look of disdain on their faces, Liu Sheng felt pleased. Thinking of Shen Kai¡¯s attitude towards Chu Yi earlier, Liu Sheng¡¯s eyes lit up and he suddenly had an idea, ¡°Let¡¯s see if you can still be a secretary!¡± Chu Yi was organizing conference materials when she heard Shen Kai¡¯s voice above her head. ¡°Hey, beautiful. It¡¯s already after work hours. Do you want me to give you a ride home?¡± Chu Yi refused without even raising her head, ¡°I¡¯m sorry, I still need to organize tomorrow¡¯s meeting.¡± However, Shen Kai sat down directly next to Chu Yi and said, ¡°Chu Yi, you¡¯re too cold to me. Do you understand the principle that all visitors are guests?¡± Shen Kai got very close to Chu Yi, and she felt a little uncomfortable, so she moved her chair to the side. Chu Yi did not expect Shen Kai to take advantage of this situation. He leaned his chair against Chu Yi¡¯s and moved it closer. ¡°Why are you avoiding me? Do you have a boyfriend? You¡¯re so beautiful, I¡¯m afraid no one will dare to chase you. Why don¡¯t we¡­¡± Just as Shen Kai was about to get even closer, Chu Yi stood up abruptly. ¡°President.¡± Shen Kai lost his balance and fell onto Chu Yi¡¯s seat. No matter how Song Ting looked at Shen Kai, he felt embarrassed. ¡°If you are so idle, I¡¯ll give your father a call later and ask him to send you to Africa to develop a project.¡± ¡°Haha,¡± Shen Kai rubbed his injured arm. ¡°Come on, Song Ting, don¡¯t be like that. I was just joking around with your secretary.¡± Chu Yi had goosebumps when she heard Shen Kai¡¯s voice. ¡°You can get off work now,¡± Song Ting said, glancing at Chu Yi. Chu Yi finally put on a smile and quickly packed her things. ¡°I¡¯ll send you, I¡¯ll send you,¡± Shen Kai said and followed her into the elevator. Chu Yi ignored him and moved to the corner. Shen Kai was still unwilling to give up and asked, ¡°Do you have a boyfriend? You¡¯re so pretty, it¡¯s not safe for you to go home alone.¡± Chu Yi calmly responded, ¡°Young Master Shen, I¡¯m already married. Please don¡¯t waste your time on me.¡± ¡°What? When did you get married? Don¡¯t lie to me,¡± Shen Kai said and had a look of disbelief. Chu Yi gave him a look that said, ¡°Believe it or not, it¡¯s up to you.¡± When Shen Kai saw a man waving at Chu Yi and Chu Yi getting into a Volkswagen, he finally believed that Chu Yi had a husband. Shen Kai sighed, ¡°Why are all the good girls married?¡± If you find any errors ( broken links, non-standard content, etc.. ), Please let us know via our discord so we can fix it as soon as possible. Chapter 21 Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio Chu Yi sat happily in the front passenger seat. She didn¡¯t expect Tian Peng and Xu Yin to come to pick her up today. ¡°Why did you guys get off work so early today to pick me up?¡± she asked. Xu Yin winked sneakily and said, ¡°The boss was pleased with the condom and underwear advertisement from last time. We got a bonus!¡± Chu Yi was also happy to hear this, even though she had only helped with some creative designs. The three of them had great synergy, and they earned a profit so quickly. As Tian Peng helped Chu Yi fasten her seatbelt, he said, ¡°So, let¡¯s celebrate today with the Shangri-La seafood buffet!¡± Xu Yin was sitting in the back seat and shouted, ¡°Hooray! Let¡¯s eat so much at Shangri-La that they go bankrupt!¡± Chu Yi was infected with their enthusiasm and laughed heartily. However, none of them noticed that a taxi had followed them all the way to the entrance of Shangri-La. Just as they were playing around and entering the hotel lobby, a clicking sound from a camera came from the corner. Chu Yi turned back in confusion, but she didn¡¯t see anything unusual. Tian Peng put his arm around Chu Yi¡¯s shoulder and said, ¡°Come on, darling, let¡¯s go!¡± ¡°That¡¯s right. We can¡¯t waste a single minute. Hurry up!¡± Xu Yin also held Chu Yi¡¯s hand. This time, Chu Yi didn¡¯t hear the snapping sound behind her. After the three of them celebrated, they went back home. Chu Yi and Xu Yin went for a SPA treatment and had a good night¡¯s sleep. The next morning, when Chu Yi arrived at the company, she noticed that her colleagues were giving her strange looks. Even though she took the initiative to greet them, everyone ignored her. Some of them were obviously avoiding her. Even when they were waiting for the elevator, a few colleagues looked at Chu Yi and whispered to each other. They even kept some distance from her. Although Chu Yi was suspicious, she still tried to keep a smile on her face. However, when she saw Yan Yun¡¯s message, she could no longer smile. The official Weibo account of an entertainment magazine released news about Shen Kai¡¯s latest relationship. This time, instead of dating a small-time celebrity, he was keeping a high-end ¡°prostitute¡±. The headline read, ¡°Young Master Shen changes his preference, no longer interested in female celebrities but in high-end prostitutes.¡± When Chu Yi saw the photo of the prostitute, she felt like she couldn¡¯t breathe. Even though the photo was a bit blurry, it was undoubtedly her! Furthermore, almost all of the photos were taken at Song Corporation, where Shen Kai and Chu Yi had behaved intimately and were caught by the camera. Some photos were even taken of Chu Yi¡¯s own seat, which made it look like they were kissing due to the camera angle. The magazine article not only mentioned that Young Master Shen had changed his preferences but also described the clever tactics used by the ¡°prostitute¡± to date multiple rich second-generation heirs. The Weibo post included some photos. One of the photos was Chu Yi following Song Ting out of the Blue Night Bar that day. Although Song Ting¡¯s face was obscured, the person behind him was very clear. Especially when Chu Yi got into Song Ting¡¯s car, the angle made it look like Song Ting was touching her butt. The other photo was from yesterday, showing Tian Peng hugging her at the entrance of the Shangri-La Hotel. But Xu Yin was missing from the picture. It was obvious that it had been tampered with. Reading the comments of netizens, Chu Yi¡¯s hands, and feet were already cold. ¡°She seemed so innocent. I didn¡¯t expect her to be this kind of person.¡± ¡°This woman has such big breasts and a baby face, no wonder rich second-generation heirs like her.¡± ¡°This person looks familiar. She seems to be an employee of the Song Corporation. She even wears an employee ID. How dare she mess around in the company?¡± ¡°An employee of the Song Corporation? It looks like the higher-ups of the Song Corporation know how to play!¡± The netizens quickly found out Chu Yi¡¯s identity. There were even many people who left comments under the Song Corporation¡¯s Weibo post, asking for an explanation. When Chu Yi opened the company forum, she found that almost everyone was discussing this matter. Some people even enlarged her photo. When the news of Chu Yi being promoted to the CEO¡¯s secretary was brought up again, many people thought that she had relied on selling her body to get the position. ¡°Oh, I¡¯m so sorry,¡± Liu Sheng deliberately walked past Chu Yi, and the folder in his hand caught the lace on the back of Chu Yi¡¯s shirt. Liu Sheng had only meant to bump into Chu Yi, but he got an unexpected surprise. Liu Sheng pulled hard, and the back of Chu Yi¡¯s shirt tore. Fortunately, the hole was not large, and Chu Yi quickly covered it with her hands. ¡°Chu Yi, I¡¯m sorry,¡± Liu Sheng exclaimed. ¡°But how come your shirt tears so easily? It¡¯s not some kind of provocative shirt, is it?¡± If you find any errors ( broken links, non-standard content, etc.. ), Please let us know via our discord so we can fix it as soon as possible. Chapter 22 Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio Liu Sheng¡¯s voice was especially loud, and several colleagues in the corridor looked over. Chu Yi covered her shirt with one hand and pointed at Liu Sheng with the other, unable to speak. Seeing the gazes of her colleagues, she felt as if she had returned to the most tragic time when a group of people surrounded her, but no one believed her words. ¡°Just by looking at her, I can tell she¡¯s not a good person!¡± ¡°A slut who seduced someone else¡¯s husband. Look at her character. Who is she trying to fool by pretending to be pitiful?¡± ¡°At such a young age, she¡¯s already so lowly. I bet she¡¯s slept with many men. Disgusting!¡± ¡­ Not only did the others not believe her, but even Chu Yi¡¯s uncle also did not believe her. At that time, Chu Yi had been framed, and her grandma was not at home because she was tutoring students. So, her grandma had gone to her uncle to help her in seeking justice. Unexpectedly, her uncle harshly slapped Chu Yi a few times. ¡°You slut, you slut who was born without a mother. Just like your slut mother, you only know how to cause trouble for our family!¡± Chu Yi recalled the unbearable past. When she saw the gazes of her colleagues, she froze in fear. Suddenly, she felt a piece of clothing covering her head. Chu Yi came back to her senses and quickly pulled it down. Then, she heard Song Ting¡¯s voice. ¡°Stop standing there and come with me,¡± Song Ting said. It was only then that Chu Yi realized that the clothing covering her head was Song Ting¡¯s suit jacket. Chu Yi quickly folded the suit, but Wang Lin snatched it away and draped it over her shoulders. Chu Yi gave Wang Lin a grateful look and Wang Lin patted her shoulder before turning to the other employees who were watching the scene. ¡°The Song Corporation doesn¡¯t employ idle people. You all seem to have nothing better to do?¡± Upon hearing Wang Lin¡¯s words, the colleagues dispersed, and Chu Yi followed Wang Lin back to the office. ¡°This matter has a huge impact on Song Corporation. Someone has already found out the CEO¡¯s identity on the internet. Have you thought about how to handle it?¡± Wang Lin didn¡¯t look at Chu Yi as she quickly sorted through her documents, but she kept reminding Chu Yi. Chu Yi was grateful that despite everyone thinking she had used her body to get ahead, Wang Lin did not doubt or despise her. Instead, she was willing to remind her and even gave her a chance to redeem herself. ¡°You know where my shirt is. Change into it later. Take your time to think about how to respond to the CEO. I¡¯ll handle the CEO first.¡± Wang Lin said before taking the documents and entering the CEO¡¯s office. Chu Yi changed her clothes and tried to calm herself down. Then, she went to the CEO¡¯s office to report on her work. However, Song Ting did not say a word until Chu Yi finished her report, which made her feel uneasy. ¡°President, the rumors about me on the internet are false. This matter has also implicated the Song Corporation and Young Master Shen. I will take responsibility.¡± Although Song Ting did not ask anything, Chu Yi took the initiative to speak. If it were just a personal grudge between colleagues, it would be different, but now that it involved the Song Corporation and the Shen family, it was a serious matter. ¡°How will you take responsibility? This has already affected the company¡¯s image, and you work by my side. I cannot let you stay.¡± Song Ting¡¯s voice was cold, and Chu Yi shivered. ¡°No, CEO Song, this matter has nothing to do with me. I¡¯m not the kind of person being described online. Please give me another chance,¡± Chu Yi said and clenched her fist. Song Ting sneered and said, ¡°Hmph, I can¡¯t keep anyone who spreads rumors about the Song Corporation.¡± He looked at his watch and said, ¡°I¡¯ll give you two hours to find that person. If you can resolve this matter, you can stay. Otherwise, get lost.¡± Chu Yi bowed deeply and replied, ¡°Okay, thank you, CEO.¡± Time was running out, and Chu Yi stood in the elevator, continuously pondering how to solve this problem. This person could not have directly targeted Shen Kai and Song Ting, so Chu Yi was the only one who was targeted. Chu Yi could only think of one person, Liu Sheng. There could not be anyone else. As long as she could find the news that Liu Sheng had released, there would be evidence. At this moment, Song Ting received a call from Shen Kai, ¡°CEO Song, why are you so relaxed? When I went to the Song Corporation, there were rumors about me. My grandfather is going to hold me accountable. You can¡¯t ignore this matter.¡± Song Ting interrupted him and said, ¡°Cut the nonsense. Tell me your plan.¡± Shen Kai laughed and said, ¡°How could I let him go when he dared to frame me? I obtained the evidence from the magazine. I will send it to you shortly. You can do whatever you want with it. I cannot let this matter go.¡± If you find any errors ( broken links, non-standard content, etc.. ), Please let us know via our discord so we can fix it as soon as possible. Chapter 23 Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio Shen Kai¡¯s thoughts were simple. Since it was an employee of Song Corporation who leaked the information, he suggested that Song Ting handle the matter. Unexpectedly, Song Ting asked him to contact Chu Yi directly and give her all the evidence. At this moment, Chu Yi was in the IT department investigating who had uploaded the photos on the company forum. She discovered that the photos posted on the company forum were uploaded half an hour earlier than the photos on the internet, which proved that this was done by someone inside Song Corporation. The person not only defamed Chu Yi but also sold the photos to the media and magazines! Chu Yi was worried that the IT department might refuse to cooperate with her. After all, her reputation was not good now. Most people thought that Chu Yi would be fired this time. However, she was pleasantly surprised when the IT department¡¯s supervisor not only cooperated with her but also tried to please her. When her phone rang, Chu Yi didn¡¯t even want to answer it, but the phone kept ringing and she had no choice but to pick it up. Shen Kai¡¯s lazy voice came through. ¡°Chu Yi, I went to find out who framed you early this morning. And you didn¡¯t even answer my call.¡± ¡°Young Master Shen?¡± Chu Yi couldn¡¯t believe it. ¡°Of course, it¡¯s me, who else would treat you so well? Add me on WeChat, I¡¯ve prepared the evidence from the magazine agency for you. You can do whatever you want with this scumbag. Just don¡¯t let him get away with it,¡± Shen Kai said fiercely. ¡°Let me know if there¡¯s any result. I¡¯m hanging up now.¡± When Chu Yi saw the evidence that Shen Kai had sent, she became so angry that her hands trembled. Many of the photos had obviously been edited, and the magazine had to edit them again before sending them up. No wonder the photos looked so awkward. And there was also the transfer record of the magazine agency to Liu Sheng! Meanwhile, the IT department had completed their investigation. ¡°Secretary Chu, we found out. The IP address was from Liu Sheng¡¯s personal tablet. This IP address was recorded in the company¡¯s network, as well as the records of his switching accounts and comments.¡± The supervisor smiled and said, ¡°You don¡¯t have to come personally for these small matters. If the CEO has any instructions, just give us a call or say something in the group. If CEO Song has any instructions, just tell us directly.¡± Chu Yi widened her eyes and asked, ¡°Did CEO Song inform you?¡± No wonder you were so cooperative. ¡°Yes, after all, you¡¯re CEO Song¡¯s secretary. It¡¯s normal for him to be concerned. However, this is a small matter. We will pay more attention in the future. Such rumors will not appear in the company¡¯s forum again. I¡¯ll have to trouble Secretary Chu to speak well of me in front of CEO Song.¡± Chu Yi felt touched when she thought of the suit she had worn today. She did not expect Song Ting would believe her and help her at this time. When Chu Yi took out her phone to call the police, her hands were still trembling, but she did not hesitate. The police arrived very quickly, especially when the evidence was conclusive. Liu Sheng was immediately arrested. ¡°What are you doing? Why did you touch my computer?¡± Liu Sheng struggled with all his might but was restrained by the police. At this moment, Liu Sheng realized that things had gone out of his control. He had only wanted to smear Chu Yi¡¯s reputation. As long as her reputation was ruined, the CEO would ask her to leave. Only then would he have a chance to become the new secretary. He did not expect Chu Yi to call the police. Didn¡¯t she care about her reputation anymore? Liu Sheng turned around and saw Chu Yi standing at the office door with a cold expression. ¡°It¡¯s you, you b*tch! Are you crazy?¡± Just as Liu Sheng was about to attack her, he was restrained by the police. The police quickly found many photos of Chu Yi on Liu Sheng¡¯s laptop and tablet, leaving him unable to deny it. As the police took Liu Sheng away, he glared at Chu Yi fiercely and shouted, ¡°You b*tch, don¡¯t think you¡¯ve won. You¡¯re just a secretary who slept with¡­¡± Chu Yi slapped him hard across the face. ¡°The police are here, and you¡¯re still slandering me? Do you think you can elevate yourself by dragging others down? Now, it¡¯s not just me who will sue you. Song Corporation will also sue you. Enjoy your time in jail.¡± Chu Yi took out her phone and called the HR department in front of Liu Sheng. ¡°Notify all the companies that are in partnership with Song Corporation that we will never hire someone like Liu Sheng and ask them to take note.¡± Hearing this, Liu Sheng couldn¡¯t remain calm any longer. If the HR department did as Chu Yi instructed, it would be impossible for him to find a good job again. ¡°Chu Yi! Who gave you the authority to do this? Do you think Song Corporation belongs to you? Do you think¡­?¡± Just as Liu Sheng was shouting at the top of his voice, a cold voice spoke up from behind Chu Yi, ¡°I gave her the right.¡± Everyone turned to look at the person who had spoken. ¡°Hello, president!¡± they greeted him.

Chapter 24 Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio Chu Yi subconsciously glanced at her watch. Fortunately, the matter was resolved in less than two hours. When she turned to face Song Ting, she saw that he still had a cold expression. However, she knew that this cold-faced CEO had a warm heart and was a good boss who cared about his employees and was always fair. He didn¡¯t believe in the slander of others and was willing to trust his employees. He even extended a helping hand to his subordinates whenever they encountered difficulties. The more Chu Yi thought about it, the more touched she felt, especially when she remembered his words from the other day, ¡°You have me behind you.¡± Chu Yi felt more confident. She walked over to Song Ting and said, ¡°CEO.¡± Song Ting nodded and then looked at everyone. ¡°Those who slander their colleagues and spread rumors will never be employed by Song Corporation again. You¡¯re responsible for your actions.¡± Song Ting lowered his head and glanced at Chu Yi. His eyes met Chu Yi¡¯s big, grateful eyes as she looked at him with admiration. He was stunned for a moment before quickly turning around and leaving. ¡°Follow me,¡± he ordered. ¡°Yes, CEO,¡± Chu Yi said and jogged after him, ignoring Liu Sheng¡¯s continuous shouting from behind. The Song Corporation¡¯s public relations department had already taken action. They not only quickly clarified the matter, but also provided various evidence and even photos of Liu Sheng¡¯s arrest. Liu Sheng and the entertainment magazine agency were in trouble. Liu Sheng only wanted to ruin Chu Yi¡¯s reputation and did not intend to provoke Song Ting and Shen Kai. However, the reporter from the magazine agency had been following Shen Kai for a few weeks. He wanted to expose the fact that Shen Kai was having an affair with a small celebrity, but he happened to capture a picture of Chu Yi and Song Ting together. The magazine agency had intended to use the reputation of the Song Corporation to boost its popularity, but it did not anticipate the negative consequences of its actions. In the past, Shen Kai never minded such gossip. However, not only did he call their headquarters directly this time, but the magazine agency was also facing a lawsuit from the Song Corporation. In order to protect themself, the magazine agency claimed that everything was part of Liu Sheng¡¯s plan. With the evidence the police had, Liu Sheng could only remain silent. When Chu Yi finally returned to normal work and saw Shen Kai again, her attitude toward him completely changed. ¡°Young Master Shen, you¡¯re here. The president just finished his meeting. I¡¯ll bring you in now.¡± Chu Yi brought Shen Kai into the office and asked him, ¡°Young Master Shen, what would you like to drink? Is coffee okay? Or would you prefer juice?¡± Shen Kai was at a loss for words due to this sudden treatment. Finally, under Chu Yi¡¯s scorching gaze, he pulled the corners of his mouth and said, ¡°Coffee.¡± ¡°Has your secretary gone crazy? Why are you so nice to me today?¡± After Chu Yi left, Shen Kai still had a lingering fear. Song Ting only snorted and didn¡¯t say anything. Seeing Song Ting was unhappy, Shen Kai felt a little pleased and said, ¡°Oh, I get it now. I¡¯m the hero who saved the beauty. Now, the beauty is going to repay me. How is it? Are you regretting it? If I had known earlier, I would have given you this opportunity, you monk¡­¡± When Song Ting saw Chu Yi bringing in the coffee, he told Shen Kai to ¡°Shut up.¡± Chu Yi put down the coffee and smiled sweetly, ¡°If you need anything else, just let me know. I¡¯ll be right outside.¡± Song Ting couldn¡¯t take it anymore and said, ¡°Are you a waiter? Should you ask him to order?¡± Shen Kai perked up and said, ¡°I can order if you want. Last time, you left some cookies and egg tarts at the bar. Since I¡¯ve helped you so much, so just consider it a thank-you gift.¡± Chu Yi suddenly remembered the cookies she brought for Xu Yin and the others, which ended up being eaten by Shen Kai. Although she didn¡¯t like him before, she was grateful for his help this time. So, she said, ¡°How about I treat you to a meal another day?¡± Suddenly, Chu Yi felt her boss¡¯s gaze on her, and she realized that it wasn¡¯t appropriate to discuss personal matters in the office. But Shen Kai was excited and said, ¡°Sure, Let¡¯s do it tonight since I¡¯m free.¡± Sensing Song Ting¡¯s unfriendly gaze, he added, ¡°And why not bring your boss along? He helped you too.¡± Chu Yi turned her head stiffly and saw her boss¡¯s unfriendly expression. She didn¡¯t know what to say. However, she heard Song Ting say, ¡°Sure.¡± If you find any errors ( broken links, non-standard content, etc.. ), Please let us know via our discord so we can fix it as soon as possible. Chapter 25 Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio Sitting in the restaurant, Chu Yi felt like her money was being spent rapidly as she watched the two people next to her order food. One was the CEO of Song Corporation, and the other was Young Master Shen. Every dish they ordered made her feel like it could feed her, Xu Yin, and Tian Peng for a week. But when she thought about how much they had helped her today, Chu Yi gritted her teeth and decided that this meal was worth it! Shen Kai was particularly happy today. ¡°The three of us have won big gain a complete victory today. We have to celebrate with a drink.¡± Shen Kai waved his hand and signaled for the waiter to pour everyone a full glass of red wine. Chu Yi looked at the half-empty bottle of Lafite and felt increasingly uneasy. As Shen Kai raised his glass, Chu Yi remembered how Song Ting had an allergic reaction the last time. She quickly grabbed Song Ting¡¯s glass and said, ¡°Let me drink this one for the CEO.¡± Shen Kai¡¯s eyes widened as he watched Chu Yi finish Song Ting¡¯s red wine. Then, he toasted with Song Ting and finished the wine in his glass. ¡°Chu Yi, I¡¯ve underestimated you. Your alcohol tolerance is not bad,¡± Shen Kai said as he poured more wine for Chu Yi. In order to prevent Song Ting from drinking, Chu Yi kept picking up Song Ting¡¯s wine glass. ¡°Are you afraid that your CEO will get drunk?¡± Shen Kai was a little jealous. ¡°After all, it was Song Ting who asked me to give you the evidence this time. Your big boss has helped so much, but you won¡¯t even let him have a sip of wine?¡± Chu Yi was already a little drunk, but when she heard Shen Kai¡¯s words, she became a bit more clear-headed. She looked at the CEO with gratitude and said, ¡°CEO, you¡¯ve helped me again. I¡¯ll raise this glass to you. And I¡¯ll also drink this glass for you!¡± She tilted her head back and downed two glasses of wine. ¡°From now on, I¡¯ll be your person in life and your ghost in death. If you ask me to go east, I¡¯ll never go west.¡± Song Ting looked at Chu Yi, who was burping, with some disdain, not wanting to talk to her at all. But in the end, it was Song Ting who paid for their meal. Shen Kai smiled slyly and said, ¡°I¡¯ve never seen you treat anyone so well before. Why are you even paying for her? Oh, I see, are you interested in her?¡± Suddenly, Shen Kai thought of something and asked, ¡°Wait a minute, didn¡¯t you say that you would bring your wife home after you returned to the country? Are you having an affair?¡± The word ¡°affair¡± hurt deeply into Song Ting. He glared at Shen Kai, and Shen Kai tactfully kept his mouth shut. At this moment, Chu Yi staggered out of the washroom. Shen Kai approached her and said, ¡°Chu Yi, let me send you back. You drank so much. It¡¯s not safe for you to go back alone.¡± Chu Yi shook her head and said, ¡°Someone¡¯s coming to pick me up. He¡¯s already here.¡± ¡°Your husband?¡± Shen Kai suddenly remembered that Chu Yi was married. Chu Yi didn¡¯t respond, but Shen Kai took that as confirmation. As they left the restaurant, Shen Kai and Song Ting watched as Chu Yi got into Tian Peng¡¯s car. Shen Kai snorted coldly and said, ¡°He¡¯s nothing special, driving a crappy Volkswagen. Why does Chu Yi like this guy?¡± However, Song Ting remained silent. He found Chu Yi¡¯s ¡°husband¡± looked familiar but couldn¡¯t remember where he had seen him before. Shen Kai patted Song Ting¡¯s shoulder and said, ¡°Alright, stop staring. I¡¯ve called Wang Li to pick us up. Let¡¯s go!¡± Wang Li and Shen Kai were Song Ting¡¯s childhood friends, and their families had frequent business dealings. They were among the three most prominent families in S City, and the three of them had a good relationship since childhood. Wang Li was clearly unhappy about being asked to be the driver. ¡°Are you kidding me? You two go out for drinks without me? And now you want me to be your driver?¡± ¡°Don¡¯t blame me, a beautiful woman is treating us, and she doesn¡¯t know you,¡± Shen Kai said as he sat in the front passenger seat. ¡°Driver, hurry up, or I won¡¯t pay you.¡± ¡°Where¡¯s the beauty? You didn¡¯t even call me when there¡¯s beauty involved. That¡¯s not cool,¡± Wang Li complained. Suddenly, he remembered something. ¡°Young Master Song, what about your wife? You used to mention her all the time when you were overseas. Why haven¡¯t you said anything about her?¡± Song Ting gave Wang Li a cold look and said, ¡°Just drive.¡± Wang Li didn¡¯t give up and turned to Shen Kai. ¡°I don¡¯t know either. But if Song Ting doesn¡¯t mention her, it probably means something¡¯s not right,¡± Shen Kai shrugged. Wang Li¡¯s face was full of doubt. ¡°What did it mean something¡¯s not right?¡± Shen Kai raised his eyebrows. ¡°It means that this Madam Song is not very good!¡± Song Ting remained silent in the backseat, ignoring the two in the front. He didn¡¯t answer any of their questions. It was only when the lawyer called that Song Ting finally spoke up. ¡°What did you say? No one answered the phone. Didn¡¯t you go to her house to look for her if she didn¡¯t answer? What do I pay you for?¡± Song Ting angrily hung up the phone and threw it aside. Then, he took out his personal phone and started dialing. ¡°The number you have dialed is currently unavailable¡­¡± D*mn it, this woman dared not to answer the call! ¡°Bang!¡± Song Ting threw the phone out again, scaring Wang Li so much that he hit the brakes. ¡°Boss, what are you doing?¡± If you find any errors ( broken links, non-standard content, etc.. ), Please let us know via our discord so we can fix it as soon as possible. Chapter 26 Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio Wang Li and Shen Kai were still in shock. Just as they were about to turn around and scold Song Ting, they saw that Song Ting¡¯s face was already darker than the bottom of a pot. The two of them exchanged a look, but neither dared to speak. Wang Li continued to drive in silence. They had known Song Ting for quite some time. There were only two situations when he became particularly angry. One was when he spoke to you in an extremely gentle manner, which only meant that he was even more furious. The other was when he directly expressed his emotions, indicating that the other party had already provoked him. Just as Shen Kai was thinking of making a joke to lighten the mood, he suddenly heard Song Ting say, ¡°Cigarette.¡± Wang Li was the first to react and threw the cigarette and lighter from his pocket over to him. Shen Kai didn¡¯t dare say a word and quietly opened the window. Song Ting didn¡¯t normally smoke, so this meant that something was bothering him. It seemed like a serious matter. He wanted to know what could have made CEO Song so upset, but he didn¡¯t have the courage to ask. Even though Song Ting had started smoking, he was still very unhappy. The lawyer had told him that he couldn¡¯t get in touch with the woman, and she wasn¡¯t answering his calls. What did that mean? The thought of not being able to divorce her quickly made Song Ting feel even more uneasy. He picked up the phone and called the lawyer again. ¡°You have three days to contact her. If you can¡¯t reach her by phone, then go to her place and track her down. I don¡¯t care what methods you use, you must contact her! Otherwise, you can just get lost!¡± He took out his personal phone and sent a text message to Chu Yi, then threw his phone on the seat. ¡°Chu Yi, do you want to check your phone? It keeps ringing.¡± Tian Peng had heard the phone ring more than ten times, but Chu Yi was too drunk and did not answer the phone. Tian Peng reminded her a few more times before Chu Yi opened her eyes and reached for her phone again. She picked up the phone and saw that there were indeed more than a dozen missed calls, but they were all from unfamiliar numbers. She furrowed her brows and said, ¡°It¡¯s nothing. They¡¯re probably all harassing calls. The boss has gone back, so no one will look for me.¡± Then she blocked all the phone numbers and deleted the text messages without even looking at them. Chu Yi, who had drunk too much the day before and almost arrived late to work, saw Song Ting with a stern face when she arrived at the company. Chu Yi looked at Wang Lin in confusion, and the latter raised her eyebrows and had a helpless expression. Chu Yi immediately understood that he must have something to do with Madam. No one else could make the CEO look like this. Suddenly, Chu Yi also felt sympathy for her boss. As the CEO of Song Corporation, he seemed to be bullied by his wife all the time. It was quite tragic. This might be the so-called one thing conquering another. When Song Ting saw Chu Yi¡¯s disheveled hair and thought of her name ¡°Chu Yi,¡± he became a little unhappy. He picked up his personal phone and called again, but he didn¡¯t expect the other person to have already blocked him. ¡°Chu Yi!¡± This time, Song Ting threw the phone onto the office door with a loud bang, startling Chu Yi, and Wang Lin. Wang Lin gave Chu Yi a signal, and Chu Yi nervously walked into the office. ¡°CEO, did you call for me?¡± Chu Yi didn¡¯t dare to step forward. She looked at the broken phone on the ground and felt that if she wasn¡¯t careful, she would end up the same way. Song Ting¡¯s anger had not subsided yet, and his eyes were still a bit red. ¡°Who let you in?¡± Seeing him like this, Chu Yi didn¡¯t dare to say anything more. She silently picked up the phone pieces and put them on the nearby coffee table. Seeing Chu Yi¡¯s fearful expression, Song Ting adjusted his mood, but he still couldn¡¯t suppress his anger. ¡°You, go and compile all the performance reports of each department from last year for me. You have two hours.¡± ¡°Huh?¡± Chu Yi was a little speechless. Why did he need the performance reports of all the departments, and from the previous year at that? ¡°What ¡®huh¡¯? I told you to go, so hurry up!¡± Song Ting didn¡¯t give her any face. Since he couldn¡¯t see ¡°Chu Yi¡±, he might as well mess around with this Chu Yi. On the other hand, Chu Yi looked dejected. Why was it that every time the CEO and Madam quarreled, she was always the one who suffered?

Chapter 27 Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio Chu Yi felt like she was going to be exhausted today. She was already going to have presbyopia by looking at reports for so long. Now, she felt nauseous when she saw the numbers. She didn¡¯t eat anything for lunch either. When she was busy, she lost her appetite completely. Fortunately, Song Ting didn¡¯t continue to torment her, and Chu Yi was able to take a short break during lunch. Chu Yi¡¯s mood improved a lot when she thought about the upcoming weekend and that Song Ting did not have any plans for the next two days. Although a CEO¡¯s secretary was essentially on call all year round, there were still opportunities for her to take a break. However, after receiving Xu Yin¡¯s call, her plans for the weekend evaporated. ¡°Darling, remember the comic expo and conference I told you about in B City? It¡¯s happening this weekend. Our company has received an invitation, and the company we discussed collaboration with last time is also based in B City. Tian Peng and I are thinking of going. Do you have any plans?¡± Chu Yi checked her work schedule and confirmed that she had no work this weekend. ¡°For now, I don¡¯t have any work on the weekend. Otherwise, you guys can also book tickets for me.¡± Xu Yin was a little excited when he heard that Chu Yi could go with them. ¡°That¡¯s great. My dear, ever since you became the secretary, how long has it been since we had a weekend together? This time, let¡¯s take it as a weekend trip.¡± After hanging up the phone, Chu Yi smiled. Whether it was attending the seminar or discussing a collaboration, it would give her a chance to relax. After praying all afternoon, Song Ting didn¡¯t give her any more trouble before she left work. Before she left, Chu Yi double-checked with Wang Lin. ¡°We really don¡¯t have any work this weekend, right?¡± ¡°Why? Do you have a date?¡± Wang Lin smiled. ¡°Don¡¯t worry, I¡¯ve sorted out all the work recently. If there¡¯s anything, go ahead. Even if something comes up with CEO Song, I can handle it.¡± Hearing Wang Lin¡¯s words, Chu Yi finally felt relieved. Back at home, the three of them began to pack their luggage. Even though they were only going for two days, Chu Yi had prepared everything. Because their flight was scheduled for an early time, the three of them had already left before 5:00 am. At 6:00 am, the lawyer who was standing at Chu Yi¡¯s doorstep had completely lost his composure. He had been knocking on the door for half an hour. Logically, young people should not be out of their homes at 6:00 am on weekends. Finally, the neighbor¡¯s aunt couldn¡¯t stand it anymore. ¡°Young man, who are you looking for so early in the morning?¡± ¡°Auntie, does Chu Yi live here? And there was a man with her, possibly her boyfriend.¡± The lawyer was a bit embarrassed. It was indeed too early in the morning to disturb anyone. The auntie thought about it seriously. She had indeed seen Xu Yin and Tian Peng a few times, but she did not know their names. ¡°I think I¡¯ve seen the people you¡¯re talking about. They used to live here.¡± ¡°Used to?¡± The lawyer¡¯s eyes darkened. ¡°You mean they¡¯re not here anymore?¡± The auntie had seen Tian Peng and the others pushing their luggage away that morning when she went for a walk. She thought they had moved out. ¡°Yeah, I saw them carrying things. They must have moved out.¡± At 6:30 in the morning, Song Ting also got up strictly according to his schedule. He did not expect the lawyer¡¯s phone call to ruin his good mood for the entire weekend. ¡°You said she moved?¡± Song Ting¡¯s anger almost reached the lawyer¡¯s ears through the phone signal. The lawyer seemed a bit helpless. ¡°Yes, the neighbor said they¡¯ve moved. I tried calling Miss Chu Yi, but it seems like I¡¯m blocked, and I can¡¯t find her anywhere.¡± Song Ting practically shouted, ¡°Can¡¯t you investigate if you can¡¯t find her? If she¡¯s blocked you, can¡¯t you just get a new phone card?¡± After hanging up the phone, Song Ting felt that his temples were throbbing. He used his personal phone to call Chu Yi a few more times, and she had indeed been blacklisted. He took out a new phone card and sent a message to Chu Yi. Just as Chu Yi was passing through the security check, her phone started ringing repeatedly. She felt something was off, as she had been getting a lot of calls from unknown numbers lately. The call was hung up after the security check. Just as Chu Yi was about to call back, a text message popped up on her phone. ¡°I¡¯m Wan Yan, your legal husband. Why aren¡¯t you answering the phone? I need to meet with you to discuss the divorce.¡± If you find any errors ( broken links, non-standard content, etc.. ), Please let us know via our discord so we can fix it as soon as possible. Chapter 28 Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio When Chu Yi saw the content of the text message, she felt as though her blood had frozen. ¡°Wan Yan¡± she finally remembered the name. She had been wondering why the name sounded so familiar, and now she realized it was her husband whom she had only met once. The two of them had met for less than ten minutes. Other than remembering that Wan Yan was tall and handsome, she could not remember anything else. After all, he married her because of his family¡¯s request. As expected, he wanted a divorce as soon as he returned. Chu Yi didn¡¯t know how to feel about it. Even though they didn¡¯t have any feelings for each other, Chu Yi still felt a little sad. He hadn¡¯t contacted her for a year and now that he was back, he wanted a divorce. How much did he hate her? Xu Yin saw Chu Yi¡¯s pale face and how she stood frozen. She quickly walked over to her and asked, ¡°Chu Yi, what¡¯s wrong? Who sent you that message?¡± Chu Yi stared at her phone, and Xu Yin couldn¡¯t help but glance at it. ¡°Wan Yan? Wasn¡¯t he the one who called you last time?¡± Xu Yin suddenly remembered that there was indeed a man named Wan Yan who had called Chu Yi that day. ¡°Your husband¡¯s name is Wan Yan?¡± Chu Yi nodded. She had only remembered his name just now. She had never mentioned Wan Yan¡¯s name to Xu Yin and Tian Peng, so they naturally didn¡¯t know who he was. ¡°He disappeared for a year and didn¡¯t care about you. Now that he¡¯s back, he wants a divorce. What kind of person is he?¡± Xu Yin was a little angry. When Chu Yi saw the word ¡°divorce,¡± she twitched the corners of her mouth. She wanted to tell Xu Yin that it was nothing and that she could accept it, but she was still at a loss for words. Tian Peng also approached, and Xu Yin whispered to him what had happened. Tian Peng looked at Chu Yi and felt heartbroken. This wasn¡¯t the first time Chu Yi had been abandoned. Back then, Chu Yi had a good boyfriend named Yuan Hong. He was the young master of the Yuan family and was quite handsome, so he was quite famous in school. He had also put in a lot of effort to win Chu Yi¡¯s heart. Eventually, the two of them became a couple. At that time, they were even rated as the top ten immortal couples in the school. At the time, Xu Yin was envious of Chu Yi for having such a great boyfriend. Yuan Hong was not only good-looking and well-connected, but he was also kind to Chu Yi. However, after Chu Yi had an accident, Yuan Hong was the first to abandon her. He didn¡¯t bother to ask for the reason, nor did he offer her any comfort. Instead, he even helped others suppress her. The matter became a huge scandal, and although it happened in Chu Yi¡¯s hometown, many people knew about it. No one in her family supported Chu Yi, so she decided to find a lawyer to sue these people. Xu Yin and Tian Peng had always supported her. When they thought about how Yuan Hong¡¯s family was powerful, Xu Yin had even taken the initiative to ask Yuan Hong to help Chu Yi. As long as the Yuan family helped, this matter would be resolved. She thought that Yuan Hong would definitely help Chu Yi since he was her boyfriend. However, Yuan Hong chose to side with the others and dissuaded Chu Yi from reporting the incident to the police. ¡°You think this isn¡¯t embarrassing enough? How can you even face returning to school?¡± ¡°If you call the police, it¡¯s equivalent to letting the whole country know about your scandal.¡± ¡°Now that the school is going to expel you because of this, why are you still making a fuss? Besides, let me tell you, we¡¯re done. Our Yuan family is prestigious in S City. Your behavior has disgraced me.¡± ¡°From now on, you are no longer my girlfriend. Get as far away from me as possible! Don¡¯t even claim to know me.¡± In the end, Chu Yi did not successfully report the incident to the police, it was also because of Yuan Hong¡¯s obstruction. She became notorious both in her school and hometown. Since then, Chu Yi had been silent. In order to prevent herself from having nightmares, she did not sleep every day and only sat on the bed. In order to prevent Chu Yi¡¯s incident from affecting him, Yuan Hong went abroad to study after two weeks. This time, she was completely abandoned. Although she didn¡¯t express it, both Xu Yin and Tian Peng knew how much she resented the man who had abandoned her. She no longer believed in love. She had thought that, in their flash marriage, they wouldn¡¯t interfere with each other. But she hadn¡¯t expected him to abandon her. ¡°Chu Yi, don¡¯t be sad. Men are all the same. It¡¯s not worth it for such a person! He might be a big liar. He wanted a divorce because he failed to cheat money and women. He was not a good person either!¡± Xu Yin scolded while patting Chu Yi¡¯s back.

Chapter 29 Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio Tian Peng coughed at the side and thought, ¡°How come you included me when scolding someone? I¡¯m also a man, you know?¡± Xu Yin completely ignored Tian Peng. Chu Yi¡¯s current condition was indeed not good. Although she did not show any expression, Xu Yin knew that she probably could not take it anymore. The last time Chu Yi went through a breakup with Yuan Hong, she was reticent for three or four months. Xu Yin was afraid that it would happen again. Chu Yi remained silent, and after unlocking her phone, she quickly replied to Wan Yan¡¯s message. ¡°Monday at 8:30 p.m. Let me know the location when you¡¯ve decided.¡± After seeing the message had been sent successfully, she turned off her phone. Xu Yin hugged Chu Yi¡¯s shoulders and said, ¡°Chu Yi, don¡¯t be sad for that scumbag. There aren¡¯t any good men out there, and we don¡¯t need them!¡± Tian Peng finally couldn¡¯t bear it any longer. ¡°Hold on a minute, there are good men out there too. This guy is a dog, not a man.¡± ¡°Hmph, don¡¯t insult dogs. He¡¯s even worse than a dog,¡± Xu Yin said indignantly. Listening to her friends defend against injustice for her, Chu Yi tried her best to calm herself down and said, ¡°Okay, let¡¯s not talk about this anymore. Don¡¯t we have a collaboration to discuss today? I don¡¯t know if it will be successful, but if it is, our company might enter the entertainment industry. Who knows, we might even get to meet a celebrity!¡± Seeing Chu Yi finally smile, Xu Yin quickly changed the topic, ¡°Exactly, we might even see a popular young actor at that film company later. Look at those young hunks now, they all have eight-pack abs and are handsome, and know how to act cute¡­¡± Listening to Xu Yin¡¯s beautiful fantasy, Chu Yi thought about the collaboration again. Who cared about Wan Yan? Making money was undoubtedly the most important thing. What was the use of a husband? Perhaps it was because of frustration in love, their work seemed to be progressing more smoothly. When they arrived in B City, the three of them headed straight to the film and television company, and surprisingly, the collaboration went smoothly. Initially, Chu Yi thought that the other party would try to lower their bid, but to her surprise, not only did the other party not negotiate on the price, but they even proposed a profit-sharing agreement. The three of them were ecstatic that such a good opportunity had come their way. The person in charge of the film and television company was a beautiful woman called Jiang Ling. She was straightforward and had excellent conversational skills. Initially, it was supposed to be a difficult collaboration to negotiate, but it was completed very smoothly. ¡°Are you three also planning to attend the comic convention?¡± Jiang Ling asked. Although Jiang Ling was almost 40 years old, she was still interested in anime. The three of them nodded at the same time. No one in the comic industry did not like the comic convention. Furthermore, B City¡¯s Cosplay was famous throughout the country. Even if they did not participate in the event, just taking photos would be delightful. They might even be able to purchase original merchandise! Seeing that the three of them were interested, Jiang Ling quickly suggested, ¡°Our company is holding a Cosplay event tomorrow morning. I believe the two young ladies are quite attractive. Would you be interested in being our cosplayers? Mr. Tian can also work as our staff. You will receive a salary, and I will cover your food and lodging expenses for today.¡± Although Chu Yi was somewhat hesitant, Xu Yin¡¯s eyes were already brimming with eagerness. ¡°Really? What is the theme? Can I see the costumes and props first?¡± Upon seeing Xu Yin so happy, Chu Yi and Tian Peng also agreed. They had come here to relax, and now that their work had been sorted out, they decided to indulge in some cosplay as they did during their school days. Xu Yin was intentionally showing interest in the event. Chu Yi was an expert at concealing her emotions, and since it was unclear whether she was upset about her impending divorce, it was good to distract her with some fun activities. Chu Yi had not planned to be a cosplayer, but her eyes lit up when she saw the costume. The Xianxia-style ancient costume was truly stunning, and it was evident that the company had invested heavily in the design. The embroidery on the clothes was also exquisitely detailed. Jiang Ling also explained, ¡°Our collaboration was part of this series of comics. Originally, the Dream Chang¡¯an game was still quite popular. Now, we want to make it into an anime. The reason why I invited you to participate is to let you understand the game better. Perhaps you¡¯ll have inspiration for your future creations.¡± Jiang Ling didn¡¯t say it explicitly, but she had taken a liking to Chu Yi at first sight. Chu Yi¡¯s fair and somewhat naive appearance made her the perfect fit for the saintess role in the game. With Chu Yi¡¯s looks, costume, and style, she was sure to make a huge sensation at tomorrow¡¯s cosplay event.

Chapter 30 Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio Xu Yin couldn¡¯t sleep all night due to her excitement, but she still looked energetic the next day. When they arrived at the dressing room, Chu Yi was still feeling a bit nervous. Meanwhile, Xu Yin and Tian Peng had their eyes wide open. As expected, the cosplayers were all extremely handsome and beautiful, and they could already see many young men and women who were more beautiful than celebrities before even changing into their costumes. Xu Yin wiped the saliva from her mouth and exclaimed, ¡°Chu Yi, I feel like I¡¯ve entered a paradise!¡± Chu Yi couldn¡¯t help but smile at Xu Yin¡¯s excitement, despite her own uneasiness. She had thought that she would be upset about Wan Yan, but her work was going smoothly, and now that she had to do makeup and styling, she had forgotten about Wan Yan. When Chu Yi, who had just changed her clothes, came out of the changing room, she heard many people exclaiming in admiration. Jiang Ling had good taste, and Chu Yi not only looked stunning but also had a unique charm about her. Chu Yi was both alluring and innocent, and her pure gaze drew people in. Even without completing all the styling, she was still eye-catching. However, Chu Yi still felt uneasy. Ever since that incident, she had avoided standing in front of others and preferred to stay hidden. When she saw everyone looking at her, Chu Yi felt even more scared. Xu Yin noticed her discomfort and immediately ran over to give her a hug. ¡°Oh my god, Chu Yi, you¡¯re so beautiful! No one can fight me for you. From now on, Chu Yi is my wife!¡± As she spoke, Xu Yin playfully rubbed her cheek against Chu Yi¡¯s neck, making her burst into laughter. Chu Yi¡¯s makeup artist kept praising her, ¡°What do you usually use for your skin? You don¡¯t have a single flaw. Your eyelashes are so long, you don¡¯t even need mascara.¡± There were also several cosplayers watching from the side, all of them amazed by Chu Yi¡¯s beauty. Chu Yi felt a little embarrassed and avoided eye contact. When Jiang Ling walked over, she was also surprised, ¡°Very good, the light makeup is perfect. Your style is even more beautiful than I imagined. You look just like a saint.¡± ¡°You¡¯re flattering me, but Xu Yin and I haven¡¯t rehearsed before. Is it okay?¡± Chu Yi had seen cosplays before, and most of them had a storyline. The two of them were just extras and didn¡¯t even have a script. Jiang Ling smiled and said, ¡°The professional cosplayers will handle the storyline. The two of you will only be responsible for the final appearance on the runway. You just need to remember your position. It¡¯s very simple.¡± Jiang Ling intentionally placed the two of them at the end. Although Xu Yin wasn¡¯t as pretty as Chu Yi, her temperament was perfect for the dark saintess. She was charming and alluring. Chu Yi was placed at the end of the show, which created a strong contrast. Jiang Ling smiled. The company¡¯s Cosplay today would definitely be trending. Chu Yi and Xu Yin had been waiting backstage. During this time, many people came over to take photos, but Chu Yi felt a little embarrassed and politely declined. As they were about to go on stage, Xu Yin finally became nervous and said, ¡°Chu Yi, what if my shoe breaks or I fall? The skirt of this dress is so long, what if I step on it?¡± Chu Yi reassured her, ¡°Don¡¯t worry, we are the last to appear and then come down. It will only take a few minutes, nothing will happen.¡± Just as the two of them were comforting each other, the staff came to notify them, ¡°Hurry up, it¡¯s your turn now. You both go up on the stage, remember your positions, and come down with everyone else. Don¡¯t go down by yourself first.¡± Chu Yi also ran to her position backstage and followed the cosplayers on stage as the music played. However, as soon as Chu Yi walked out on stage, the previously noisy crowd suddenly fell silent. Chu Yi was a little nervous, but she still walked to the stage according to the original plan. Someone shouted, ¡°The saintess? She¡¯s so beautiful!¡± Then, a chorus of praise followed. ¡°Is this the saintess from the game ¡®Dream Chang¡¯an¡¯? She¡¯s even more beautiful than in the game!¡± ¡°Ahhhh! Isn¡¯t she the goddess of my dreams?¡± ¡°Why wasn¡¯t there a storyline for the saintess? I¡¯d be willing to pay to watch it!¡± Chu Yi couldn¡¯t really hear what everyone was saying on stage, and she maintained a stiff smile as she followed the designated route. In the end, she took a bow with all the cosplayers and followed everyone down the stage. Unexpectedly, everyone at the front of the stage shouted together, ¡°Saintess! Encore! Saintess! Encore!¡± If you find any errors ( broken links, non-standard content, etc.. ), Please let us know via our discord so we can fix it as soon as possible. Chapter 31 Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio Upon hearing the audience¡¯s calls for an encore, Chu Yi was somewhat bewildered. She did not expect that there would be such a big reaction after just a few minutes into her performance. The cosplayers beside Chu Yi kept pushing her forward, and Jiang Ling signaled for her to go back on stage. However, she hesitated, and it was Xu Yin who finally pushed her up. Standing on the stage, Chu Yi simply waved to everyone as a gesture of thanks, and another round of cheers erupted from below. ¡°Saintess, Saintess, Saintess¡­¡± Since that incident, Chu Yi had always felt somewhat inferior. She never imagined that one day she could stand in front of people and show off her talents. She felt like her heart was about to jump out of her chest. The experience that she had never experienced before made her tear up. It turned out that she could also stand confidently in front of people, and not everyone would look at her with hostility and doubt. When Chu Yi came down from the stage, Xu Yin hugged her and said, ¡°My dear, I think you¡¯re going to be famous! I want to count on you. Don¡¯t forget me when you¡¯re rich!¡± Tian Peng was also excited, holding his camera and saying, ¡°I took a lot of pictures of you guys. When I put them on the company¡¯s website and have a promotion for the beautiful female cartoonist. Our studio must become famous.¡± Chu Yi¡¯s face was also smiling, but this smile only lasted for a few minutes before a phone call interrupted her. It was still an unknown number, and this number had already called her more than a dozen times during her performance. ¡°Hello, is this Miss Chu Yi?¡± A middle-aged man¡¯s voice sounded. Chu Yi was certain that she did not know this person, so she politely asked, ¡°Yes, it¡¯s me. Who are you?¡± The man took a deep breath and said, ¡°I have finally found you. I am Mr. Wan Yan¡¯s lawyer, Zhao Li.¡± Chu Yi thought of the text message sent by Wan Yan and understood that the lawyer must have contacted her to talk about divorce. ¡°Hello, is this about Wan Yan wanting to discuss divorce?¡± Chu Yi asked calmly. Hearing Chu Yi¡¯s calm tone, Zhao Li heaved a sigh of relief. ¡°Mr. Wan has entrusted me to negotiate the divorce with you. He wishes to resolve this matter as soon as possible as everyone¡¯s time is valuable.¡± Zhao Li did not mention anything about compensation. It was not easy to contact Chu Yi, so Zhao Li needed to see Chu Yi in person before discussing anything further to prevent her from running away. Upon hearing that Wan Yan wanted to divorce her as soon as possible, Chu Yi fell silent. She thought that Wan Yan probably did not want to get married in the first place, and that was why he had not contacted her in a year. Zhao Li didn¡¯t receive a response from Chu Yi, so he quickly asked, ¡°Miss Chu, when would be a convenient time for us to meet and talk?¡± Chu Yi thought about her recent work schedule and replied, ¡°I¡¯m not in town at the moment. Can we do it tomorrow? I¡¯m free at 8:30 pm.¡± Zhao Li spoke rapidly, ¡°Okay, no problem. Let¡¯s meet at the Shui Yuntian Hotel at 8:30 pm.¡± ¡°Chu Yi, why did you come here? Everyone is waiting for you to take a photo!¡± Xu Yin ran over excitedly. This trip to B City was great. Not only did they manage to negotiate a collaboration, but they also had a lot of fun. Chu Yi put away her phone and didn¡¯t mention that Wan Yan¡¯s lawyer had called. She did not want to ruin the atmosphere. If Wan Yan wanted a divorce, so be it. She had these friends by her side, which was enough. The studio had a new film and television collaboration, and she had become the CEO¡¯s secretary. Everything was moving in the right direction. Perhaps the divorce also represented a new beginning for her. After hanging up, Zhao Li let out a sigh of relief. He didn¡¯t know why Chu Yi was so hard to find. Now, he finally got in touch with her. Thinking that his boss was still waiting for a reply, he quickly called Song Ting. ¡°CEO Song, I have contacted your wife. We will meet on Monday night,¡± Zhao Li said. CEO Song was holding the B City government¡¯s planning documents in his hand and responded casually, ¡°I have signed the divorce agreement. Just bring it over and get her to sign it as soon as possible.¡± After hanging up the phone, CEO Song was in a good mood. He felt a little excited thinking about the woman¡¯s expression when she received the divorce agreement. She probably wanted a divorce, but she never would have thought that he would ask for compensation. After all, she had cheated on him in marriage. She still had to pay for his mental damage. He would not let this woman live a good life. If you find any errors ( broken links, non-standard content, etc.. ), Please let us know via our discord so we can fix it as soon as possible. Chapter 32 Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio The next day, Song Ting and Chu Yi arrived at the company in a good mood. Wang Lin was somewhat surprised to see their demeanor. Just a few days ago, they were all depressed, but it seemed like everyone had a pleasant weekend. Wang Lin opened her phone and noticed a private chat group within the company. Someone had posted a photo of Chu Yi dressed as a saintess. ¡°Oh my goodness, Chu Yi, you had a great weekend. ¡®The Arrival of the Beautiful Saintess¡¯? Are you cosplaying?¡± Chu Yi was a bit embarrassed. ¡°I just happened to be helping out a friend that day. I was only on stage for two minutes.¡± Wang Lin pointed to her phone. ¡°So many photos in just two minutes? Look at this Weibo post, it already has over tens of thousands of likes. Aren¡¯t you going to become a big star?¡± ¡°The Song Corporation doesn¡¯t even have room for you? You want to become a big star?¡± As the two were discussing Chu Yi¡¯s cosplay, Song Ting also emerged from his office. He glanced at the photo on Wang Lin¡¯s phone, and Wang Lin quickly put it away. It was taboo to talk about such things during work hours. However, Song Ting was in a good mood today, so he didn¡¯t mind. ¡°The two of you, get ready. The bidding process for B City¡¯s development is about to begin, and our subsidiary will have representatives attending.¡± Chu Yi received the documents early in the morning and was surprised to find that she had a fate with B City. As she reviewed the materials about the construction of a scenic area around the B city, she recalled the cosplay event from the other day, and a smile formed on her face. Just as she entered the meeting room, she heard someone exclaim, ¡°Saintess?¡± Chu Yi looked over and saw a boy with a baby face, even younger than her, waving at her. She smiled back at him. ¡°Saintess, I can¡¯t believe you work for the Song Corporation too. We¡¯re so destined. Shall we take a photo?¡± The baby-faced boy pulled out his phone to snap a picture with Chu Yi. Chu Yi was so frightened that she quickly stopped him. ¡°I¡¯m sorry, but I¡¯m working now.¡± The baby-faced boy was still unwilling to give up. ¡°It¡¯s alright. CEO Song isn¡¯t here anyway. I¡¯m Shen Hui from the Song Corporation¡¯s subsidiary. What¡¯s your name? I can¡¯t keep calling you saintess.¡± ¡°Chu Yi,¡± she replied, quickly sorting through the documents in her hands without looking up. ¡°Chu Yi? That¡¯s a nice name. You¡­¡± Before Shen Hui could finish his sentence, someone grabbed his collar. ¡°Shen Hui, you¡¯re quite free? You still have time to chat with my secretary?¡± Shen Hui turned around and saw Song Ting¡¯s cold face. Shen Hui pulled his collar out of Song Ting¡¯s grip. ¡°Hey, cousin, you¡¯re scaring me. Can¡¯t you give me some face in front of the saintess?¡± Only then did Chu Yi realize that the baby-faced boy was the CEO¡¯s cousin. Song Ting glanced at Chu Yi. ¡°Saintess?¡± Chu Yi smiled awkwardly. She didn¡¯t think it was good for the CEO to catch her attending Cosplay. He might think she wasn¡¯t doing her job properly. Under Song Ting¡¯s pressure, Shen Hui finally returned to his seat and pretended to listen to the meeting. But when no one was paying attention, he took out his phone and snapped a picture of Chu Yi. Shen Hui quickly posted on his WeChat Moment. ¡°The saintess is my colleague!¡± and added the secretly taken photo. The photo showed Chu Yi sitting next to Song Ting, dressed in a white suit with a green shirt underneath, her hair tied up, revealing her delicate face. Although only Song Ting¡¯s side profile was shown in the picture, Yu Huan still captured it. ¡°Buzz.¡± Shen Hui lowered his head to take a look at the message when he heard his phone vibrate. Yu Huan: Who¡¯s next to this woman? Shen Hui: Song Ting, can¡¯t you tell? Yu Huan: Who is this woman? Shen Hui: She¡¯s the saintess, the one who became famous at the comic convention last weekend!¡± Yu Huan: Let me ask you, what is her relationship with Song Ting? Shen Hui: She¡¯s Song Ting¡¯s secretary. Otherwise, who would dare to sit next to him? While Shen Hui was happily replying to messages with his head down, he suddenly felt a chill. He looked up and saw Song Ting staring at him. Shen Hui was so frightened that he quickly put away his phone and did not dare to look at the messages anymore. When Yu Huan saw that Shen Hui did not reply for a long time, she was also a little frustrated. She really wanted to know about the woman beside Song Ting. After ten minutes, Shen Hui still did not reply. Yu Huan took out her phone and called Shen Hui¡¯s secretary. ¡°Where is your Supervisor Shen having a meeting today?¡± If you find any errors ( broken links, non-standard content, etc.. ), Please let us know via our discord so we can fix it as soon as possible. Chapter 33 Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio When Yu Huan arrived in S City, it was already afternoon. When the Yu family¡¯s chauffeur picked her up at the airport, he felt that the young miss did not look happy. On the plane, Yu Huan kept scrolling through videos and pictures of Chu Yi. The comments from the netizens also made her very unhappy. All the comments on the internet were about ¡°Beautiful Saintess¡±, ¡°Fairy Descends¡±, and ¡°National Goddess¡±. Yu Huan gritted her teeth when she saw these. She had liked Song Ting since she was young. The two families were family friends. Madam Song had also been jokingly suggesting that Yu Huan became Song Ting¡¯s wife. Yu Huan had thought she was the best candidate for the position. But she was surprised to find out that Song Ting¡¯s grandma insisted on matching him with another woman, and the two had even gotten married. If Yu Huan didn¡¯t know that Song Ting had ignored that woman after getting married, she would have gone to find that woman. This year, Song Ting not only did not contact his wife, but he also did not have any other women around him, which made Yu Huan feel much more at ease. As long as Madam Song supported her, she believed she would still be Song Ting¡¯s wife in the end! However, Yu Huan was still a little unhappy when she saw Chu Yi in the photo. She did not know when Song Ting had acquired such a vixen by his side! Actually, Chu Yi had only appeared at the convention for a few minutes, but many people were attending the event and many photos of Chu Yi were posted. In addition, there were many photos of her with other people, which made Chu Yi look even more beautiful. The thought of having such a secretary by Song Ting¡¯s side made Yu Huan angry. However, she did not expect something even more infuriating to happen when she arrived at the Song Corporation building. ¡°I¡¯m sorry, Miss. Without an appointment, you cannot go in,¡± the receptionist said with a professional smile, but her words were all rejection. Yu Huan had already endured humiliation to the extreme. She practically shouted, ¡°Do you know who I am? How dare you stop me?¡± The receptionist remained respectful and said, ¡°I¡¯m sorry, but regardless of who you are, you need to have an appointment.¡± The receptionist could tell that Yu Huan was either rich or noble, but Song Corporation had its rules, and no one could allow her entry casually. Seeing that a few security guards had already walked over, Yu Huan glared at the receptionist. She took out her phone and made a call. After the call connected, she sounded as pitiful as possible, ¡°Auntie, I came to see Brother Ting, but the receptionist wouldn¡¯t let me in.¡± ¡°Okay, I¡¯ll wait for a while. Thank you, auntie.¡± Yu Huan hung up the phone, and shortly after, the receptionist received a call from Madam Song. The receptionist immediately put on a more respectful smile and said, ¡°Miss Yu, I¡¯m very sorry about earlier. You can go upstairs now.¡± Yu Huan looked at the receptionist haughtily. ¡°You¡¯d better remember me. If you don¡¯t know anyone else, don¡¯t you know the future mistress of Song Corporation?¡± Yu Huan glanced at the security guards beside her before turning around and walking towards the elevator. Just as Song Ting and his group were leaving the meeting room, they heard a cloying female voice, ¡°Brother Ting.¡± When Yu Huan saw Song Ting, she quickly ran over and said, ¡°Why did the meeting take so long? I¡¯ve been waiting for you for half an hour.¡± Shen Hui was surprised that a single photo had been enough to bring Yu Huan over, and he asked with some dissatisfaction, ¡°Why are you here?¡± Yu Huan glared at him and tugged at Song Ting¡¯s arm coquettishly, saying, ¡°Brother Ting, when are you getting off work? I¡¯m so tired from coming here today.¡± ¡°Let Shen Hui take you out to play. I still have work to do,¡± said Song Ting as he pushed Yu Huan¡¯s hand away and walked towards his office. ¡°Brother Ting!¡± Yu Huan stamped her foot. Just as she was about to follow him, Shen Hui shouted, ¡°Saintess!¡± Yu Huan turned around to see Chu Yi carrying a large stack of documents. ¡°Saintess, let me help you. CEO Song is too unkind to make a weak woman like you carry so much information,¡± said Shen Hui. Shen Hui then took the documents from Chu Yi¡¯s hands. Chu Yi could only smile and thank him. Yu Huan stared at Chu Yi¡¯s face. After all, her facial features could not be seen clearly in the photo. Now that she looked at Chu Yi up close, her facial features were exquisite and three-dimensional, and her skin was also fair and rosy. It was completely different from Yu Huan¡¯s skin, which required foundation and blush to achieve a similar effect. The more Yu Huan looked at Chu Yi, the more irritated she became. She stepped forward and blocked Chu Yi¡¯s path, asking, ¡°Are you Brother Ting¡¯s new secretary?¡± Chu Yi was a bit uncomfortable with the other party¡¯s gaze, but since she referred to the CEO as ¡°Brother Ting,¡± it seemed they had a close relationship. Chu Yi greeted her professionally with a smile, ¡°Hello, I am Secretary Chu Yi, working for CEO Song. May I know who you are?¡± ¡°Don¡¯t you even know me?¡± Yu Huan was even more displeased. Feeling a little uneasy with her arrogant attitude, Chu Yi wondered if she could be the CEO¡¯s wife. So, she asked tentatively, ¡°Are you the CEO¡¯s wife?¡± Upon hearing the words ¡°CEO¡¯s wife¡±, Yu Huan felt much better. She ran her fingers through her hair and replied, ¡± Soon.¡± If you find any errors ( broken links, non-standard content, etc.. ), Please let us know via our discord so we can fix it as soon as possible. Chapter 34 Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio Chu Yi was completely taken aback by Yu Huan¡¯s words. Was this the scenario of an arrogant mistress? Or was there something else going on? Thinking of her boss¡¯s serious face, Chu Yi didn¡¯t believe he could have a mistress. However, the woman in front of her had an arrogant look on her face, and she even seemed to have no sense of shame. What was going on? Fortunately, Shen Hui explained, ¡°Don¡¯t listen to her nonsense. My cousin is a married man. Yu Huan, stop ruining my brother¡¯s reputation.¡± Chu Yi understood that Yu Huan was CEO Song¡¯s admirer. ¡°Hmph, what do you know? Sooner or later, I will be the CEO¡¯s wife.¡± Yu Huan looked at Chu Yi disdainfully. ¡°Since you are Brother Ting¡¯s secretary, you should know how to avoid suspicion. Don¡¯t think you can marry into a wealthy family just because you¡¯re pretty. I¡¯ve seen many women like you.¡± Chu Yi couldn¡¯t understand why Yu Huan had such hostility towards her, but she didn¡¯t want to continue the argument in the company. ¡°I¡¯m sorry, there¡¯s still a lot of work for the president to handle. I¡¯ll take my leave now.¡± ¡°Wait,¡± Yu Huan grabbed Chu Yi¡¯s arm. ¡°Are you running away after I said that? Let me warn you, Brother Ting is not someone you can daydream about. You better give up on this idea now!¡± Just as Chu Yi was about to turn around and retort, Song Ting walked over and grabbed Yu Huan¡¯s hand that was holding onto Chu Yi. ¡°Are you done messing around?¡± Song Ting¡¯s tone was unfriendly as he pulled Yu Huan¡¯s hand away. ¡°This isn¡¯t the Yu Corporation. Miss Yu, please show some self-respect.¡± Yu Huan didn¡¯t expect that Song Ting would protect Chu Yi so fiercely. She immediately became teary-eyed and stared at Song Ting without blinking. Seeing that Song Ting was truly angry, Shen Hui quickly intervened, ¡°Brother, I¡¯ll take her around. You guys can continue with your work.¡± Shen Hui kept signaling to Yu Huan with his eyes, but Yu Huan still refused to leave. In the end, Shen Hui had no choice but to drag Yu Huan away. Before leaving, Yu Huan even gave Chu Yi a resentful look. Back in the office, Chu Yi was feeling a bit frustrated. She hadn¡¯t done anything wrong, yet she was constantly being slandered. Wang Lin also heard about the commotion and came over to console her, ¡°That Miss Yu has always been temperamental. She has had a crush on CEO Song since childhood and always believed that she would become Mrs. Song. But she never expected CEO Song to marry someone else instead. When I first started working here, she criticized me countless times. Don¡¯t take it to heart.¡± Chu Yi nodded, but she still couldn¡¯t help feeling uneasy. She didn¡¯t understand why a prettier woman would still be slandered even if she didn¡¯t do anything. It was like the people who had surrounded her in the past. Although she was the true victim, she was still blamed by others. Song Ting walked out of his office and noticed that Chu Yi was quiet. He tapped his finger on the desk. Chu Yi and Wang Lin immediately stood up, ¡°President.¡± ¡°Have you prepared your luggage for the business trip at the company?¡± He was asking Chu Yi. Chu Yi nodded immediately. Wang Lin had already told her to be prepared for a business trip at any time, and she had also packed simple luggage at the office. ¡°Very good. You two, get ready. We¡¯ll meet downstairs in 20 minutes. We¡¯re flying to B City later. There¡¯s a drinking session with the leaders of several government departments over there today, so I have to be there.¡± Wang Lin gave Chu Yi a helpless look and turned to pack her luggage. Chu Yi looked at the time and realized that she had an appointment with Wan Yan¡¯s lawyer today. She was afraid that she would have to postpone it again. Zhao Li, who received Chu Yi¡¯s call, suddenly had a bad feeling. ¡°Miss Chu, what¡¯s the matter?¡± he asked. ¡°I¡¯m sorry, Lawyer Zhao. I have to go on a business trip at the last minute today, so I can¡¯t see you today,¡± Chu Yi said apologetically. Zhao Li felt desperate. Didn¡¯t they agree on a meeting? Why did she change her mind again? Thinking of Song Ting¡¯s crisis, Zhao Li panicked. ¡°Miss Chu Yi, we agreed on this a long time ago. If you suddenly cancel the meeting, I can¡¯t explain it to Mr. Wan. When are you going on a business trip? Otherwise, can we meet now?¡± ¡°I¡¯m sorry,¡± Chu Yi said. ¡°I¡¯m leaving town soon, so I don¡¯t have time. Otherwise, what do you think? When I come back, you can send me the divorce agreement by fax. If there¡¯s no problem with the content, I¡¯ll sign it immediately.¡± If you find any errors ( broken links, non-standard content, etc.. ), Please let us know via our discord so we can fix it as soon as possible. Chapter 35 Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio Zhao Li hung up the phone feeling a bit uneasy. He carefully chose his words before calling Song Ting. However, he did not expect Song Ting¡¯s phone to be turned off. Zhao Li put down his phone and felt dejected. These two were a ¡°perfect match¡±. They were disappearing at crucial moments. It wasn¡¯t just Song Ting and his two companions who had come to B City this time. Shen Hui had also shamelessly begged for a plane ticket and followed them. In the business car on the way back to the city, Shen Hui stuck close to Chu Yi. ¡°Saintess, you don¡¯t know how many snacks there are in B City¡¯s night market. There¡¯s even an anime street behind the night market. After dinner, let me take you there. That¡¯s where we anime fans can truly find paradise.¡± Chu Yi did not chat with Shen Hui. She nodded occasionally, but he kept talking to Chu Yi. while the car was filled with Shen Hui¡¯s excited voice. Just as Shen Hui was about to speak again, Song Ting calmly said, ¡°She¡¯s married. You don¡¯t have a chance.¡± ¡°What?¡± Shen Hui couldn¡¯t believe it. ¡°How is that possible? Who is so lucky that he can marry the saintess?¡± Wang Lin couldn¡¯t help but cover her mouth and laugh. ¡°Chu Yi, tell me yourself that what my cousin said isn¡¯t true.¡± Shen Hui¡¯s face was filled with sadness and despair. Chu Yi was a little helpless but still nodded. ¡°I am married.¡± Then, she heard Shen Hui¡¯s anguished cry. Even when they reached the hotel, Shen Hui still seemed dispirited, as if he had suffered a major setback. ¡°Saintess, your charm is too great. Look at what you¡¯ve done to poor Shen Hui.¡± Wang Lin teased with a soft voice. Chu Yi¡¯s face turned red, and she lightly nudged her with her arm. The two of them walked ahead pushing their luggage, but Song Ting noticed their small actions and quickly walked over. When Chu Yi felt Song Ting approach from behind, Chu Yi suddenly thought of what Yu Huan had said, ¡°You know how to avoid suspicion.¡± She immediately took a big step to the left, creating more distance between him. Song Ting stopped in his tracks and turned to look at her. Feeling embarrassed, Chu Yi whispered, ¡°I¡¯m just trying to avoid suspicion.¡± Song Ting was completely amused and said, ¡°You don¡¯t think that everyone is interested in married women, do you?¡± With that, he walked forward without looking back, leaving the two of them behind. Chu Yi was speechless. Wang Lin glanced at the two of them and quickly followed Song Ting. Chu Yi kept a distance of two meters from her boss until they entered the private room. She had no choice but to sit on the left side of Song Ting. At the dinner table, Song Ting changed his usual cold demeanor and put on a warm smile. Especially when he was chatting with the leaders of the departments in B City, he quickly blended in. It was impossible to tell that it was his first time meeting them. Just as Chu Yi was admiring her boss as a business genius, someone stood up and began to toast him. ¡°CEO Song, we truly appreciate your visit for the inspection. Let me toast to you and thank you for your strong support for the development of B City!¡± ¡°Yes, yes, I¡¯ll also toast to CEO Song. We have to thank you.¡± Several leaders at the table had already started to raise their glasses. Chu Yi¡¯s nerves were tense. Song Ting was allergic to alcohol. Wang Lin was pregnant and could not drink. Shen Hui did not know if he could drink. Now, she was the only one left. She immediately picked up her glass and said, ¡°I¡¯ll toast to everyone on behalf of CEO Song.¡± Then she downed it in one gulp. The leaders beside her were also surprised to see this. However, when they saw that Song Ting didn¡¯t move, they also realized that he was the CEO of Song Corporation, and it was reasonable for him to ask his secretary to come out and drink for him. The leaders didn¡¯t say anything and began to toast Chu Yi instead. As long as it was a toast to Song Ting, Chu Yi would directly block it. Just as she was about to finish her fourth glass of white wine, Song Ting finally couldn¡¯t resist any longer. He stood up and raised his own glass. ¡°I propose a toast to everyone.¡± ¡°President!¡± Chu Yi was scared out of her wits. Seeing her expression, Song Ting knew what she was thinking and said helplessly in a low voice, ¡°This is white wine.¡± ¡°White wine?¡± While Chu Yi was still in a daze, Song Ting had already finished the wine in his glass. White wine? White wine! Chu Yi then remembered that the boss was only allergic to beer! After three rounds of drinking, Chu Yi realized that her boss had an amazing alcohol tolerance. The few leaders opposite him were already slurring their speech, but Song Ting remained composed and showed no signs of being drunk. Suddenly, Chu Yi felt her stomach churn. She quickly got up and headed to the restroom. Seeing her leave, Song Ting whispered to Wang Lin, ¡°Get her a bowl of hangover soup.¡± If you find any errors ( broken links, non-standard content, etc.. ), Please let us know via our discord so we can fix it as soon as possible. Chapter 36 Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio Chu Yi rarely drank so much alcohol, and she drank in a hurry just now. In addition, she did not eat much, so she vomited heavily in the restroom. ¡°Rinse your mouth, you drank too quickly earlier,¡± Wang Lin handed her a bottle of water. ¡°Thank you.¡± Chu Yi rinsed her mouth and drank some water, feeling much better. ¡°Why did you come here? Can CEO Song do it alone?¡± ¡°I¡¯m a pregnant woman, I can¡¯t drink alcohol, so don¡¯t worry, Shen Hui is also here. Besides, our CEO is already close to being immune to alcohol. Even if he didn¡¯t want to drink, who do you think would dare to force him to drink?¡± Upon hearing Wang Lin¡¯s words, Chu Yi realized that she was too foolish earlier. Several leaders were trying to please Song Ting, yet she was still rushing to drink more. Who would dare to force Song Ting to drink? When Wang Lin saw her regretful expression, she couldn¡¯t help but laugh. ¡°You¡¯ll have to attend these types of events in the future. It¡¯s good to get familiar with them but just block the wine occasionally. If you get drunk first, who will take care of the CEO later? Come out when you¡¯re almost done vomiting. I¡¯ve prepared some hangover soup for you.¡± Wang Lin took her to an empty private room next door, and the waiter brought the hangover soup over. Chu Yi drank the bowl of hangover soup in one gulp. The sour and sweet taste made her feel much better. ¡°Sister Lin, thank you so much. You even knew to prepare the hangover soup for me. Otherwise, I would have lost my composure later.¡± ¡°I won¡¯t take credit for this. CEO Song asked me to prepare it for you,¡± Wang Lin said and patted her shoulder. Chu Yi was touched when she heard that Song Ting had prepared the hangover soup for her. When she returned to the table, she looked at Song Ting with a hint of admiration in her eyes. Song Ting felt a little puzzled when he saw her expression. ¡°Did you drink the hangover soup?¡± he asked. Chu Yi nodded vigorously. ¡°Thank you, CEO Song. I¡¯ve drunk it.¡± The thought of her boss helping her so much strengthened her determination to be loyal to Song Ting. Song Ting saw the change in Chu Yi¡¯s eyes and felt increasingly puzzled. Nevertheless, he said, ¡°You don¡¯t need to drink anymore. Let Shen Hui handle it.¡± At this moment, Shen Hui, who was at the wine table, was completely at ease. He not only put his arm around the shoulder of a rotund leader next to him but also chatted and laughed with the other leaders. Chu Yi silently pondered that he was a natural business genius, wasn¡¯t he? He was flexible and knew what to say in different situations and to different people. He was fearless no matter what the occasion was. As expected of CEO Song¡¯s cousin. He was a master at drinking. It wasn¡¯t until it was almost eleven o¡¯clock in the evening. When the leaders were so drunk that they couldn¡¯t speak properly. The drinking session finally ended. Shen Hui could be considered a genius. Not only did he drink all the leaders down, but he also acted as if nothing had happened. He even sent the leaders into the car one by one. After sending the leaders away, Shen Hui went to Chu Yi and shook his hair. ¡°Saintess, how was it? Did my charm at the wine table sweep you off your feet?¡± Chu Yi clapped lightly and said, ¡°You¡¯re indeed amazing.¡± However, Shen Hui seemed to have been encouraged, as if he was saying, ¡°This is nothing. Let me tell you, even if there were eight or ten of them, I could still make them drink until they collapsed. Do you know how I became the branch company¡¯s supervisor?¡± Chu Yi wanted to say, ¡°Isn¡¯t it because you¡¯re the president¡¯s cousin?¡± However, seeing Shen Hui¡¯s excited face, she still asked, ¡°Why?¡± ¡°When the HR department interviewed me, they asked what I was good at.¡± Shen Hui combed his hair again. ¡°I said my specialty is especially suitable for business.¡± Then he looked at Chu Yi expectantly. She continued to support him. ¡°What are your specialties?¡± ¡°My specialty is that I can keep drinking at the table. As long as I can make the partners drink until they collapsed, what cooperation can¡¯t be negotiated?¡± Just as Shen Hui was showing off his glorious history, Song Ting walked over. ¡°There are a few projects in Africa that require supervisors who can drink exceptionally well. Do you want to try it out? The chieftains over there are especially good at drinking.¡± Shen Hui glanced at the expressionless Song Ting and quickly waved his hand. ¡°No, no, Africa is too hot. The equatorial climate is not suitable for me.¡± ¡°Can¡¯t you keep drinking?¡± Song Ting smiled. ¡°This is a good opportunity for you to display your specialty and contribute to the company.¡± ¡°Eh? Huh? Why do I suddenly feel dizzy? Saintess, where is our car? No, I have to go back and sleep.¡± Seeing Shen Hui run away, Chu Yi and Song Ting looked at each other and smiled. However, when Song Ting received Zhao Li¡¯s call, he could no longer smile.

Chapter 37 Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio ¡°CEO Song, Miss Chu said she had something come up at the last minute and couldn¡¯t meet today,¡± Zhao Li took a long time to prepare himself mentally before daring to call Song Ting again. Sure enough, he heard Song Ting¡¯s angry voice, ¡°She had something come up? What could possibly come up for her? Even if she¡¯s busy, can she be busier than me?¡± Seeing Wang Lin and Chu Yi looking at him with surprise, Song Ting walked to the corner. He lowered his voice, ¡°If you can¡¯t handle such a small matter, what use do I have for you?¡± Zhao Li was also drenched in a cold sweat. Being sandwiched between the two of them, he was truly physically and mentally exhausted. ¡°CEO Song, Miss Chu said she¡¯s willing to sign the divorce agreement if you can send it to her by fax. When I receive her signature, you can proceed with the divorce procedures without delay,¡± Zhao Li promised, although he was not entirely confident. The divorce agreement required the other party to admit to cheating and compensate him. He was unsure if Chu Yi would sign it. However, when he heard that the woman was willing to sign the divorce papers, Song Ting¡¯s emotions eased slightly. ¡°Hurry and do it. I don¡¯t want to delay the divorce any longer.¡± After hanging up the phone, Song Ting got into the car first, followed by Chu Yi and Wang Lin. However, he didn¡¯t notice that someone had been listening to his phone call in the corner. Yu Huan had originally wanted to go back to B City with Song Ting, but he completely ignored her. As a result, she had to buy a plane ticket and come back alone. She arrived at B City a few hours later than Song Ting. Initially, Yu Huan got the address of the drinking session from Shen Hui. She wanted to give Song Ting a surprise, but she did not expect to receive a ¡®surprise¡¯. Song Ting wanted a divorce! Yu Huan couldn¡¯t help but feel happy when she thought about how Song Ting and his wife had not seen each other since they registered their marriage and now, they were getting a divorce. She had finally waited for this day. As long as Song Ting got a divorce, with Madam Song¡¯s favor towards her, Mrs. Song would be hers. Yu Huan quickly called Madam Song to share the good news and fantasized about becoming Mrs. Song herself. The next day, Chu Yi and Wang Lin got up early to visit the venue. Because they were planning to hike, they both dressed in lightweight sportswear. ¡°Sports shoes are more comfortable. I always feel back pain while pregnant,¡± Wang Lin said as she looked in the mirror and admired herself in her sportswear. ¡°I¡¯ll give you a backpack later. Do you want to bring a jacket? I heard that the temperature on the mountain might be lower,¡± Chu Yi said as she put on her backpack. The two of them tidied up and left the room as they spoke. However, she saw Yu Huan standing at the door of Song Ting¡¯s room in a tight-fitting long dress and super high heels. ¡°Brother Ting, why did you only just come out? I¡¯ve been waiting for you at the door for five minutes,¡± Yu Huan pouted and acted coquettish. She wanted to hold onto Song Ting¡¯s arm, but Song Ting turned around and avoided her. Yu Huan pouted again, feeling a little unhappy. However, when she remembered what Madam Song had said to her on the phone the day before, she restrained herself from getting angry. ¡°Their divorce is only a matter of time. They were forced to get married by the old lady. How can they be considered a couple? Auntie still likes you.¡± ¡°All men like a gentle woman. As long as you are gentle to him and let him see your good qualities, no one around him is a threat.¡± Yu Huan switched to a gentle tone, ¡°You came to B City alone, and auntie was worried about you. She asked me to take care of you since I¡¯ve been in B City for a long time. If you need anything, just let me know, and I¡¯ll take good care of you. Just let me follow you, Brother Ting!¡± Song Ting received a call from his mother last night. He didn¡¯t know what was wrong with Yu Huan, but she insisted on following him to the scene and even begged his mother. He nodded, tacitly agreeing to her request. However, he didn¡¯t say much and went straight to the elevator. Yu Huan was pleased, thinking that Madam Song really understood her son. Being gentle was indeed effective. Chu Yi saw Yu Huan¡¯s outfit and kindly reminded her, ¡°Miss Yu, we¡¯re going hiking today. Isn¡¯t your outfit a little inappropriate?¡± Yu Huan sized up Chu Yi from head to toe and said with a hint of disdain, ¡°What¡¯s the matter? Can¡¯t stand it when someone dresses more beautifully than you? As a staff member, you have to go mountain climbing. But as the future Mrs. Song, do I still need to climb mountains?¡± After saying this, Yu Huan called out ¡°Brother Ting¡± and hurriedly followed Song Ting, walking in her high heels. Wang Lin tugged at Chu Yi¡¯s clothes and shook her head, gesturing for her to ignore Yu Huan. Yu Huan had initially thought that Chu Yi was jealous of her beautiful clothes and that she was stealing the spotlight from her in front of Song Ting. That was why she said her clothes were inappropriate. But when they arrived at the scene, Yu Huan finally understood why Chu Yi had warned her that this dress was not suitable.

Chapter 38 Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio The B City development project was located in the surrounding area, while the city was surrounded by mountains. Although the scenery was beautiful, the undeveloped location had no road infrastructure. Eventually, there was no way for the car to pass through, so the group could only get out of the car and walk. Chu Yi and Wang Lin were prepared for the hike. Song Ting and Shen Hui were also dressed casually. Only Yu Huan was wearing her gorgeous dress. Her high heels made it difficult for her to walk on the gravel road. In the beginning, Yu Huan could still maintain her elegance. She wanted to give Song Ting a good impression and let him see that she had a gentle side. However, the higher they climbed, the more Yu Huan struggled. She eventually stumbled and fell to the ground, unable to continue walking in her high heels. ¡°Brother Ting, sob, sob, sob, can¡¯t you all wait for me?¡± At this moment, Yu Huan could no longer care about her image. She started crying and sniffling. ¡°You guys are all dressed comfortably, while I¡¯m in high heels. Couldn¡¯t anyone wait for me? And it¡¯s been hours, why hasn¡¯t anyone given me water? I¡¯m dying of thirst! How can you be so heartless?¡± she complained. Hearing Yu Huan¡¯s outburst, Song Ting and the other leaders stopped. Everyone looked embarrassed. Shen Hui finally could not take it anymore and said, ¡°It¡¯s all because you insisted on coming along. Climbing the mountain, do you think you¡¯re going to walk the red carpet event? Why did you wear high heels? You brought this on yourself and now you¡¯re blaming others.¡± ¡°How was I supposed to know there was no road here? I thought we could take the cable car up! Why are you being so harsh?¡± Yu Huan retorted. Chu Yi saw the two of them arguing and quickly intervened to diffuse the situation. She helped Yu Huan up and said, ¡°Miss Yu, let me help you sit on the rock over there for a while. Then, I¡¯ll take a look at your ankle.¡± Seeing that someone was finally paying attention to her, Yu Huan looked at Chu Yi aggrievedly and grabbed Chu Yi¡¯s arm pitifully. Chu Yi handed her a bottle of water and looked at her ankle, which was indeed swollen. It seemed that she could not continue walking. However, today¡¯s schedule had already been arranged, and they couldn¡¯t delay it. ¡°President, you guys continue walking. I¡¯ll stay behind to take care of Miss Yu,¡± Wang Lin volunteered. In fact, she was pregnant and couldn¡¯t take the scorching sun today. It was better to stay with Yu Huan and wait for the people from the bottom of the mountain to bring them back. Chu Yi was a little worried and asked, ¡°Are you sure you can handle it?¡± Wang Lin waved her phone and replied, ¡°I¡¯ve informed the people from the branch office to come over. Someone will probably arrive in half an hour. You can go with CEO Song.¡± Song Ting nodded slightly, and Chu Yi followed. The two women heaved a sigh of relief when they finally got some rest. Yu Huan drank some water and chatted casually. ¡°Chu Yi doesn¡¯t have any feelings for Brother Ting?¡± Looking at the water given by Chu Yi in her hands, Yu Huan thought about how the other party helped her up just now and suddenly felt that Chu Yi was not bad. Wang Lin sighed inwardly. She couldn¡¯t let this matter go. ¡°Miss Yu, don¡¯t assume that just because a woman is beautiful, she must be interested in CEO Song. Besides, Chu Yi is already married,¡± said Wang Lin. ¡°What?¡± When Yu Huan heard that Chu Yi was married, her expression was as surprised as Shen Hui¡¯s. ¡°She¡¯s married at such a young age?¡± Wang Lin secretly rolled her eyes. ¡°So, don¡¯t worry, she has a good relationship with her husband. And, as you know, CEO Song is already married.¡± Yu Huan used to get angry whenever CEO Song¡¯s marriage was mentioned, but today she seemed calm. She looked at Wang Lin proudly and said, ¡°He¡¯s going to be single soon.¡± ¡°What? Who is going to be single?¡± Wang Lin had a bad feeling. ¡°Brother Ting, don¡¯t you know? You¡¯re his secretary.¡± Yu Huan raised her eyebrows. ¡°He wants to divorce that woman, so he¡¯ll be single soon.¡± Wang Lin widened her eyes, and Yu Huan¡¯s words surprised her so much that she couldn¡¯t digest them. Although she had never met the CEO¡¯s wife, their relationship shouldn¡¯t have deteriorated to the point of divorce, right? Didn¡¯t the CEO buy her many gifts recently? However, Wang Lin suddenly remembered that he didn¡¯t seem to have given out any gifts the previous few times¡­ Wang Lin didn¡¯t dare to continue thinking about it. The CEO¡¯s marriage and divorce were confidential. As the first person besides the CEO to know about this, Wang Lin facepalmed. This didn¡¯t seem to be a good thing.

Chapter 39 Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio Chu Yi followed Song Ting around the mountain for almost a day before they went down the mountain. She thought that it was fortunate that Wang Lin did not continue to follow them. Otherwise, she would not be able to take it. When she returned to her room, she saw Wang Lin, who was in a daze. Wang Lin had been sitting on the bed and looking out the window. ¡°Sister Lin, are you feeling unwell? Could it be heatstroke?¡± Chu Yi asked, noticing Wang Lin¡¯s absent-mindedness. Wang Lin looked up and saw Chu Yi, who was slightly sunburnt. However, she did not tell her the shocking secret she had heard earlier. This kind of prying into the boss¡¯s privacy and secrets, she was enough to do it alone. Anyway, she was going to resign. ¡°Maybe I am a little tired. Today was indeed quite hot. You go take a shower and rest. We¡¯ll be leaving tomorrow,¡± replied Wang Lin. Chu Yi looked at Wang Lin again and confirmed that there was no change in her expression, then she went to the bathroom to take a shower. In order to prevent herself from accidentally revealing anything, Wang Lin had gone to bed early and pretended to be tired. Chu Yi, who finally had time to rest, took out her phone and saw a message from Zhao Li. ¡°Miss Chu Yi, could you please give me your fax number? I will send you the divorce agreement.¡± It seemed that Wan Yan was really eager to get the divorce done, as the lawyer kept urging her to sign it. Chu Yi thought for a moment and sent the comic studio¡¯s fax number over. In any case, they were going to get a divorce sooner or later, and they would have to sign the papers eventually. The sooner it was settled, the easier it would be. Just as she was about to fall asleep, her phone rang and woke her up. Seeing that it was Xu Yin calling, she quickly silenced her phone and ran to the bathroom, afraid of waking Wang Lin up. As soon as she answered the call, Xu Yin¡¯s yelling came through. ¡°Chu Yi, where are you? Have you come back yet? The studio just received a divorce agreement!¡± Chu Yi moved her phone away from her ear and lowered her voice and said, ¡°Please keep your voice down. Do you know what time it is? Aren¡¯t you afraid of disturbing others? I asked Wan Yan¡¯s lawyer to send the divorce agreement over. Didn¡¯t Wan Yan want a divorce?¡± However, Xu Yin didn¡¯t lower his voice at all. ¡°Just let him divorce you. What¡¯s with this talk of you cheating on him during your marriage and having to compensate him for mental damage? Is he crazy for money? You haven¡¯t even contacted each other for a year, and now he wants money from you?¡± ¡°What mental damage compensation?¡± Chu Yi couldn¡¯t stay calm anymore. ¡°He said that you cheated on him during your marriage and caused him serious mental damage and damaged his reputation. He wants you to pay him 500,000 dollars for mental damages¡­¡± Before Xu Yin could finish, Tian Peng grabbed the phone and said, ¡°I¡¯ve sent you the photos on your phone. Let¡¯s talk about the rest when you get back.¡± Chu Yi hung up and saw the photos that Tian Peng had sent. She was so angry that her hands trembled. The divorce agreement was not just about getting a divorce. It also accused her of cheating on her husband and cohabiting with someone of the opposite sex. She had to compensate Wan Yan for mental damage. Chu Yi called Zhao Li directly. Zhao Li was a little surprised. This was the first time this lady took the initiative to contact him. ¡°Lawyer Zhao, what¡¯s going on? What does the mean by mental damage? Please explain it to me clearly!¡± Although Chu Yi tried to lower her voice, Zhao Li could still hear the anger in her tone. After several conversations, Zhao Li found Chu Yi to be a reasonable and sensible woman, but he was surprised to hear her so angry. As for the compensation for mental damage, Zhao Li didn¡¯t know how to approach the topic. Although CEO Song had asked for compensation for mental damage, Zhao Li did not have any evidence. He had never even seen Chu Yi before. How could he say that she had cheated on him? However, since the boss had requested this, Zhao Li felt a little helpless. ¡°Miss Chu, I think we should meet in person to discuss this matter,¡± Zhao Li suggested. He believed he could convince Chu Yi to sign the divorce agreement once they met. ¡°Chu Yi, are you in the bathroom?¡± At this moment, Wang Lin¡¯s voice sounded. Chu Yi did not want to continue talking to Zhao Li. It seemed that this matter could not be resolved over the phone. They had to meet. ¡°Lawyer Zhao, I¡¯ll contact you when I get back. I think it¡¯s better to clarify this matter in person.¡± After hanging up the phone, Chu Yi took a few deep breaths and adjusted her emotions before walking out of the bathroom. ¡°I¡¯m sorry for waking you up,¡± she said, and she was a little embarrassed. Wang Lin, on the other hand, was in a daze. She waved her hand and turned over to continue sleeping. Chu Yi lay on the bed but could not fall asleep. She looked at the photo of the divorce agreement over and over again. The more she thought about it, the angrier she became. She couldn¡¯t believe that Wan Yan, who had not contacted her for a year, was now asking for compensation for mental damage.

Chapter 40 Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio Early in the morning, Chu Yi and Wang Lin got up and prepared to return to S City. Shen Hui also came to see them off, and even the limping Yu Huan showed up. The project in B City had been visited. They only needed to wait for the bidding and return to the company to work on the proposal. Wang Lin and Song Ting were in good spirits, but Chu Yi looked tired. ¡°Saintess, is your makeup today the look of sickly beauty?¡± Shen Hui looked at the dark circles under Chu Yi¡¯s eyes and teased her. Chu Yi only smiled and didn¡¯t say anything. Since she had seen the contents of the divorce agreement, she had not slept the entire night. She had thought that Wan Yan was forced to get married and wanted to get rid of her as soon as possible. But she did not expect him to not only want a divorce but also wanted money! Thinking of this, Chu Yi felt so angry that her teeth were itching. Not cheating on her feeling, just cheating for her money? Yu Huan¡¯s attitude towards Chu Yi had improved significantly because of Chu Yi¡¯s kindness the previous day. ¡°Chu Yi, don¡¯t work too hard. Women age easily.¡± Yu Huan lowered her voice slightly. ¡°But it¡¯s okay. Since you helped me yesterday, I¡¯ll take care of you at Song Corporation. You¡¯re mine now.¡± Chu Yi had something on her mind and did not understand what Yu Huan meant. She just nodded mechanically. Yu Huan assumed that Chu Yi knew about Song Ting¡¯s divorce and silently agreed that she would be Mrs. Song in the future. She was even happier. ¡°Don¡¯t worry. With me around, no one will dare to criticize you even if you slack off at Song Corporation,¡± Yu Huan said, putting his arm around Chu Yi¡¯s shoulder and patting her with a serious look. ¡°Hmm?¡± Chu Yi looked at Yu Huan with a puzzled expression. Yu Huan formally nodded at Chu Yi, but Chu Yi¡¯s smile seemed forced. Chu Yi¡¯s mood had been low, and Wang Lin was also a little worried. ¡°Chu Yi, are you okay? Is it because you¡¯re tired from climbing the mountain yesterday?¡± Song Ting had also been listening to their conversation, but he didn¡¯t hear Chu Yi¡¯s response. Chu Yi had something on her mind and didn¡¯t want to say anything. She just nodded in agreement. Thinking about how she didn¡¯t even wear a wedding dress when she got married and was about to become a divorced woman, and how she might even have to compensate her husband for mental damage, whom she had only met once, she couldn¡¯t be happy. She had thought that breaking up with Wan Yan was the worst that could happen. Getting married at that time would have fulfilled her grandma¡¯s wish. But she didn¡¯t expect that a marriage that existed in name only would involve money disputes. Chu Yi felt suffocated when she thought of the various scenes of divorce and economic disputes in television dramas. When she returned to the company, she was also uninterested. Although she was still working seriously, she wasn¡¯t very talkative. Song Ting had already noticed that something was wrong with her. After she finished reporting on her work in the afternoon, Song Ting gave her a break. ¡°If there¡¯s nothing else, you can leave work early and rest at home,¡± he said. ¡°What?¡± Chu Yi was taken aback by Song Ting¡¯s words. Song Ting was a little speechless. It seemed that she was uncomfortable and unable to focus. ¡°I said you can leave later. Let¡¯s go,¡± Song Ting said to Chu Yi. Chu Yi looked at Song Ting gratefully, then nodded and left the CEO¡¯s office. On her way home, she continued to think about the divorce agreement. Finally, she made a decision and promptly called Zhao Li. ¡°Lawyer Zhao, are you and Mr. Wan available now? I think we need to meet to discuss the details of the divorce agreement,¡± Chu Yi said. Although Chu Yi¡¯s voice was stiff, one could tell that she was a little angry. However, Zhao Li was very happy. He was finally going to resolve this matter. ¡°Sure, Miss Chu. Shall we meet at Shui Yuntian at 8:30 in the evening? I¡¯ll make the reservation now. Please make sure to come,¡± he said before ending the call. He then called Song Ting. ¡°CEO Song, are you free today? Miss Chu Yi wants to talk about the divorce. She has already seen the divorce agreement and knows that you want compensation for mental damage. She may want to discuss this with you,¡± he explained. Song Ting looked at his schedule. There was nothing urgent to do today, so he might as well get rid of this woman. Song Ting replied, ¡°Send me the address. I¡¯ll be there in a while.¡± Chu Yi was about to take a taxi to Shui Yuntian when Xu Yin called. ¡°Darling, are you back? Did Wan Yan contact you? When you meet him, tell me, I¡¯ll go and cheer you on. We absolutely can¡¯t lose!¡± Chu Yi had wanted to resolve this matter herself, but she was a little uncertain. In the end, she told Xu Yin that she was going to meet Wan Yan. ¡°Tian Peng and I will go over right away!¡± Xu Yin said. After hanging up, Xu Yin and Tian Peng headed straight for Shui Yuntian. The two of them had just found a parking space when they saw Song Ting walk past the car and enter Shui Yuntian¡¯s main door. Xu Yin grabbed Tian Peng¡¯s arm. ¡°Is this man the pervert from last time?¡± If you find any errors ( broken links, non-standard content, etc.. ), Please let us know via our discord so we can fix it as soon as possible.
