In the end, I let the people who wanted to gloat over my misfortune down. When I returned from Mo Fei’s office, I didn’t have any scratches on my face, nor did I look depressed. But when I saw Liusu, I couldn’t help but feel a little guilty…

Whether it was the feeling of helplessness after being provoked or the indulgence after failing to resist temptation, it was not important. The important thing was that our lips eventually were pressed onto each other…

This was a dangerous signal. Mo Fei and I were both becoming more and more difficult to control our own behavior. When facing each other, our restraints were being peeled off layer by layer…

I didn’t see Ziyuan all morning. Even Liusu and Dong Xiaoye thought that she must be embarrassed by what happened last night, and she didn’t know how to appear in front of us…

Think about it, who wouldn’t feel embarrassed to be questioned by a little bratty girl like Chu Yuan? In particular, Chu Yuan revealed the truth about why I didn’t contact her in the last five years, and it made her find it even more difficult to face me…

As soon as I thought that Ziyuan might be hiding in a corner alone and blaming herself while crying, I wanted to pull Chu Yuan over and spank her. Others didn’t know how sensitive and fragile Ziyuan was, but she knew it clearly…

But my worry seemed to be a bit unnecessary. Near noon, Ziyuan finally appeared. Although she had a haggard expression on her face—obviously resulting from the lack of rest last night—her mental state was far from being as low as we imagined. Liusu offered to invite her to eat with us in the cafeteria, and she did not decline.

Mo Fei never left her office. Song Jia bought her lunch and delivered it to her office. Everyone seemed to feel that her silence was very odd. However, they also seemed to have forgotten that Mo Fei was also a workaholic. After she became the main person in charge of the cooperation with Min Rou’s company, her workload had increased greatly.

Dong Xiaoye was very annoying. She pestered me all morning and asked me what I had talked about with Mo Fei in her office. Although Liusu pretended not to care, I could tell that she paid a lot of attention to my conversation with Dong Xiaoye. Fortunately, Brother Wei, Qin Lan, and others did not stop asking us about the details of our dinner with Wu Lefeng that night, and he also inquired if I noticed any traces that would prove that Wu Lefeng actually indeed had two wives.

It wasn’t just a slight trace, they directly told us… However, I had made a promise to Wu Lefeng to keep the secret for him, so even if Brother Wei asked, I wouldn’t say it.

Liusu and Dong Xiaoye were also tight-lipped about this matter, but they still said something that they shouldn’t have said. For example, Wu Lefeng not only asked to be friends with me, but also exchanged phone numbers with me…

The two women soon regretted it. After the people in the company learned that I made friends with Wu Lefeng and exchanged contact information with him, they started besieging me in groups. So even if I wanted to answer Dong Xiaoye’s question, I couldn’t find a chance.

Those I knew brought those I didn’t know, or those who didn’t know me brought those who knew me. Whether it was for themselves, for their families, or for their boyfriends or girlfriends, they all asked me for Wu Lefeng’s signature. It made me once again understand how powerful the charm of a celebrity could be—even Elder Sister Liu, who was always calm, and Yao Wan’er, who was sulking about me, also came to me to ask for a signature.

The relative of Qin Lan who gave her the movie tickets used to be on the set of “Fickle Love”. Qin Lan learned from her that although Wu Lefeng was a friendly and humble person, he didn’t easily exchange contact information with others. This kind of person was very cautious in making friends. Although he had good relationships with many people, anyone could see that there were not many people around him that he considered his friends. He always maintained a subtle distance from the people around him. Regarding this, the variety show on TV had also mentioned it more than once before…

In the past, I thought Wu Lefeng was an introvert like me, but now it seemed that he was not introverted at all. And the reason why he had few friends, and was cautious in making friends, was probably just because he was afraid that his secret of having two wives would be exposed…

Ziyuan only knew that we went to the same French restaurant for dinner, but did not know that we were invited by Wu Lefeng. When Wu Lefeng became famous, she hadn’t gone abroad yet. So of course, she knew who Wu Lefeng was. She was also very surprised when she found out that I made friends with him.

After sneaking into the cafeteria and finding an inconspicuous corner, my surroundings finally became a little quieter. Dong Xiaoye could find an opportunity to talk about the previous topic again. “Little Chu, you haven’t told us what the hell you and Mo Fei talked about in her office.”

While Dong Xiaoye asked this, Ziyuan, who had not spoken for a long time, also gathered up her courage and asked, “Xiao Nan, is… Yuan Yuan okay?”

The two of them then looked at each other. Obviously, both of them were curious about each other’s questions, and they both said to me in unison, “You two can talk first.”

Seeing this scene, Liusu couldn’t help but burst out laughing. “Ziyuan, aren’t you too nervous about it?”

Ziyuan blushed, feeling embarrassed to admit it. Although Liusu always got jealous, she was a soft-hearted person. Seeing Ziyuan’s nervous look, she couldn’t help hugging her shoulders and said softly, “Don’t worry, Nan Nan will only spoil Yuan Yuan, he won’t hit her.”

Liusu’s original intention was to comfort Ziyuan, ignoring that her words could be interpreted differently. Since I didn’t hit Chu Yuan, it meant that I believed Chu Yuan was right, and since Chu Yuan was right, it meant that the person who was in the wrong was…

Liusu also saw the change in Ziyuan’s expression, so she quickly added, “However, he still severely criticized her… right, Nan Nan?”

I was not in a hurry to answer Ziyuan, lest she would think that I cared about what happened last night. So I asked Dong Xiaoye first, “Why do you want to know what Mo Fei and I talked about? Is it for your mission or for personal reasons?”

I said that jokingly. It was impossible that Dong Xiaoye’s mission would require her to know what Mo Fei and I talked about. So before Liusu realized that Dong Xiaoye cared too much about my personal affairs, it was necessary for me to remind Dong Xiaoye implicitly. This was also part of my responsibility for her.

Sister Tiger blushed with embarrassment. “Can I not ask on behalf of Liusu?”

“If you say you’re interested, then I’ll answer. But if you are asking on behalf of Liusu, then forget it.” I chuckled, “If Liusu wants to know, she will ask me herself.” That’s right, if Liusu wanted to know, she could ask me herself. But why didn’t she ask me?

Because Liusu knew that I liked Mo Fei, just like Mo Fei knew that Liusu liked me. From some things they did in the past, I had a faint feeling that although these two women were secretly competing, they seemed to have reached some kind of tacit understanding. I couldn’t describe this feeling exactly, but I knew that I was full of yearning for that feeling… At least, recently, these two women would not get angry if one of them got too close to me…

As soon as Ziyuan heard that I had a conversation with Mo Fei in her office this morning, she immediately knew the content of our conversation. As I expected, she lowered her head and murmured, “Really? So, Ms. Mo has already told you everything…”

I was secretly relieved. This was what I was waiting for. It was more convincing for her to tell Liusu and Sister Tiger that Mo Fei and I were talking about business in her office…

“Mhm,” I chuckled, “Fengchang’s partner is the company established by Min Rou.”

Liusu and Sister Tiger exclaimed in unison, “Min Rou?!”

Ziyuan nodded and looked at me puzzledly. “Don’t you have any questions to ask me?”

“No,” I said, “if it’s something you can say, you’ll naturally say it. If it’s something you can’t say, I don’t want to make you feel troubled.”

“Xiao Nan, you are too cunning. You know my personality well, so you decided not to ask me. You know this will only make me feel even more guilty… Clearly, you are using a mean method, but you pretend like you are a good guy.”

I was a little embarrassed. Especially when I saw that Liusu and Dong Xiaoye both showed agreeable expressions.

Ziyuan rolled her eyes at me and smiled. “Min Rou and the Third Lady are neither partners nor subordinates to employers. They are more like a family. The Third Lady trusts Min Rou very much, and Min Rou’s loyalty to her is also beyond the scope of our understanding. I have no doubt that Min Rou can sacrifice her life for the Third Lady. It may sound exaggerated, but it is the truth. Therefore, when the Third Lady asked Min Rou to be in charge of the cooperation with Fengchang, it did not mean that she deliberately concealed her identity. Perhaps it is more appropriate to say that the Third Lady never likes to expose herself to the public. As far as I know, there is another close friend like Min Rou who acts as her double, but she stays abroad all year-round. However, that night, she was also in the car…”

“So that’s to say, the person who talked to me that night was really the Third Lady?” I was sure that she was the Third Lady, but what I didn’t understand was—why did she deny it? Also, why was she hiding from me?

“Yes, and no…”
