Qi Yanli examined her neck carefully and continued, “How can Fu Lingye be that harsh on you? Didn't I warn you earlier not to fall for him?”
Mu Tongrui gulped and stepped backward, “Mr. Qi, don't worry! I won't be that silly now.”
Qi Yanli's hand froze halfway in the air. He smiled and put his hand back into the pocket, “Good to know then.”
Qi Yanli walked towards his workplace and asked, “About the chip...”
Mu Tongrui replied quickly, “I saw the chip but Fu Lingye is too defensive. So, I need more time.”
“Tongrui, don't forget what's your aim. Fu Lingye may already know about your intentions. If you are soft-hearted and fall for him again, do you know what the consequences would be? Not only you cannot take revenge, but you will put yourself in deep waters.”
Mu Tongrui pulled her skirt and breathed in. She looked straight into Qi Yanli's eyes and confirmed, “Mr. Qi, please give me a few more days. I will try my best to get that chip.”
“Try your best? Tongrui, I hope that you will give the whole of yourself into this matter. There won't be any more stories between you and Fu Lingye.”
She froze and her feet was numb.
The image in Lanwan Villa flashed through her mind.
Fu Lingye loved Qiao Sang and he could not forget about her. There was still another girl in Lanwan villa. So who was Mu Tongrui to him? The reason she stayed put was simply because of her identity as Sweetheart's mother.
“Fu Lingye doesn't believe in me for now, but I will try to gain his trust within the shortest time.”
“You can do this, I have faith in you.”
When Mu Tongrui walked out of Qi Yanli's office, she did not feel any relaxed instead, her stress level increased.
Should I give Fu Lingye a call to talk it out and make peace?
But I just told him we should break up...If I give in so quickly, this would make him feel more suspicious.
When she was on her way back to the design department, a few messages popped up.
She clicked in to see intimate pictures of a man and a woman. Although the man's face cannot be seen clearly, Xia Xueqing was very distinctive in the picture. Mu Tongrui knew who the man in the picture was instantly.
Fu Lingye and Xia Xueqing's affair was Qi Yanli's trap. Even Mu Tongrui herself was involved in this matter, but she truly hoped that nothing happened between them that night in the hotel.
She deleted all the messages and put it aside.
After Mu Tongrui left the office, Qi Yanli's assistant - Li Da came in to report, “Mr. Qi, Ms. Shen is here.”
Shen Wanyue trotted in in heels and greeted, “Yanli!”
Qi Yanli heard the squeamish voice. He smiled on the outside but detested inside, “What brings you here?”
Shen Wanyue's mother, Shen Qiu is the second wife of Qi Guochen, Qi Yanli's father. Hence, Shen Wanyue became 'half' a daughter to the Qi Family. Although Qi Yanli never admitted her as his sister,
he still could not fall out with both Shen Qiu and Shen Wanyue for the time being. Shen Wanyue had something that he could use in the future.
Shen Wanyue walked in with her bag and said, “Yanli, Uncle Qi knows that I studied artistic design so he asked me to come and work here. I believe you won't disagree with that, right?”
Actually, Shen Qiu brought up the topic on purpose in front of Qi Guochen. Shen Wanyue finally received the 'job offer' because her mother brought up Ya Hua multiple times for Qi Guochen to arrange a post accordingly.
The genuine goal of Shen Wanyue was not to work there, but to get closer to Qi Yanli.
Qi Yanli looked at Shen Wanyue and asked, “You studied artistic design too?”
Shen Wanyue answered coquettishly, “Yes Yanli! If you turn me down, it will be so embarrassing for me to go home. My mum will say I'm useless again.”
How could Mu Tongrui work in Ya Hua but Shen Wanyue not?
“How will I reject you, you're Aunt Shen's daughter. Even if I didn't consider your feelings, I need to put Aunt Shen into consideration. Li Da, bring Wanyue to the design department for registration.”
Li Da nodded, “Yes, Mr. Qi. Ms. Shen, please follow me to the design department then.”
When Shen Wanyue heard Qi Yanli called her 'Wanyue' so gently, she immediately grinned. “Yanli, then I'm off to the design department!”
Qi Yanli called out for Li Da purposely when they were at the door and ordered, “Oh, please do ask the design director to take more care of Wanyue.”
“Sure, Mr. Qi.”
Shen Wanyue blushed and thought, Yanli has me in his heart!
After Li Da and Shen Wanyue left his office, Qi Yanli snorted coldly.
Mu Tongrui was day-dreaming in her seat while Li Da brought Shen Wanyue into the design department.
Before Shen Wanyue entered the design director's office, she stared at Mu Tongrui provocatively. Content is property of NôvelDrama.Org.
Mu Tongrui's right eyelid twitched. Why is Shen Wanyue working in Ya Hua?
Shen Wanyue stepped out from the director's office. Then Li Da asked, “Ms. Shen, which seat do you prefer?”
Shen Wanyue scanned through the spacious office and locked her sight at the seat beside Mu Tongrui. She pointed out, “Li Da, can I sit over there?”
“Of course you can.”
Everyone stared at Shen Wanyue admiringly when she proudly seated herself beside Mu Tongrui's workplace.
Mu Tongrui went up to the rooftop to have a moment of quiet time during lunch. The moment she found peace, Shen Wanyue broke the silence.
“Don't tell me you're up here alone to commit suicide?”
Mu Tongrui frowned when Shen Wanyue's sharp words echoed in her ears. Mu Tongrui answered, “I thought you're not interested in Arts and Design? Why work in Ya Hua then?”
Shen Wanyue answered while walking unhurriedly, “I wasn't interested in designing previously, but now I found my passion in it. Mu Tongrui, you're not the only person who can sniff around Yanli. Now that I'm here, don't you dare seduce Yanli right before my eyes!”
So she came to spy on me!
Mu Tongrui scorned, “Don't you worry, I'm not interested in your Yanli. Not at all!”
“Mu Tongrui, you think that I'll believe in your pack of lies? I know you stayed with Yanli the night before!”
Mu Tongrui trembled and stared at Shen Wanyue coldly, “So it's you!”
