"Hey, little devil Jing, how long have you been away from East Sea? Times have changed. Lin Tong wanting Ye Xuan as vice-CEO was two months ago."

Liu Ying rolled her eyes at Leng Qiuge and said with a pout, "Useless as mud! Why don’t you ask Lin Tong, see if she still has that idea?"

Ye Xuan raised an eyebrow at this.

Little devil Jing?

Hmm, that nickname suits Leng Qiuge perfectly.

But...

Liu Ying, what’s wrong with you? Who are you calling useless as mud? Did I offend you? Just wait, you’ll see later tonight when it gets dark!

Lin Tong, hearing Liu Ying’s words, looked at Ye Xuan helplessly and then said, "Liu Ying’s right. I don’t expect Ye Xuan to work seriously, so let’s have Liu Ying take the role of vice-CEO for Eastern Group."

"Wise choice, Lin Tong!" Liu Ying smiled with satisfaction.

Leng Qiuge pursed her lips with nothing to say, sulkily glancing at Liu Ying and silently holding a grudge. 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝚠𝚎𝚋𝗻𝗼𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝚘𝐦

Even though Leng Qiuge and Liu Ying have known each other since they were young, friends are friends. Liu Ying made her uncomfortable today, so she has to pay it back another day.

Ye Xuan could sense Leng Qiuge’s feelings.

He felt at a loss inside.

The relationships nowadays are quite troublesome.

Leng Qiuge is Lin Tong’s best friend, and Liu Ying now follows Lin Tong’s every command. Hmm, the future’s going to be interesting, for sure.

But Lin Tong didn’t seem to care about the problem, intentionally or unintentionally casting a glance at Ye Xuan, secretly sighing.

Thinking back, she often hoped Ye Xuan would step up his game a bit and at least take a senior position in the company, right?

Looking back now, she realizes she was the one being narrow-minded.

Ye Xuan, this guy, capable of anything—compared to him, the sales manager and even the vice-CEO at Eastern Group seem insignificant...

"Really don’t know how many secrets this guy still has."

Lin Tong shook her head, suddenly feeling like Ye Xuan was a bottomless pit, with endless treasures inside.

So unfathomable!

...

Back home, it was near noon.

Lin Tong called Wu Ma to prepare lunch, and then discussed some company matters with Liu Ying. Naturally, Leng Qiuge also joined in.

These three women, each a commercial genius, together considered various issues and future plans that were practically flawless.

But Ye Xuan, with no interest in making money, didn’t bother with their little meeting.

He played with Xiao Yunduo for a bit, got pestered by Chi Lian for a while, then had lunch before driving out.

This trip had been more than half a month long. Although Ye Xiaoying’s cold poison wasn’t as severe as before, it still couldn’t be underestimated.

After performing acupuncture treatment for Ye Xiaoying, Ye Xuan headed to Eastern Group.

For what?

Of course, it wasn’t because Ye Xuan had a sudden desire to work properly.

Ye Xuan had a clear purpose heading to the HR department.

"Manager Ye!"

As a frequent visitor to the HR department, almost everyone there was familiar with Ye Xuan. As soon as he arrived, warm greetings filled the air.

Ye Xuan waved in response and walked straight to the manager’s office.

As Ye Xuan approached, Su Yumo’s assistant blushed, revealing an odd smile, thinking the manager wouldn’t have the energy to work again in the afternoon...

Like clockwork, Ye Xuan pushed open the door.

Inside, he saw an exquisitely beautiful woman lying on the sofa playing with her phone. Her shapely figure, delicate face, and lazy posture in her professional outfit looked incredibly enticing.

"Ahem!"

Ye Xuan closed the door, noting that Su Yumo hadn’t noticed him, and coughed lightly: "What are you watching? Your man is back, and you didn’t even notice?"

"Ah?"

Su Yumo exclaimed and finally saw Ye Xuan. Joy filled her face: "Ye Xuan, you’re back!"

As she spoke, Su Yumo leapt up like a cat and jumped into Ye Xuan’s arms.

Ye Xuan embraced her full figure and laughed, "Haven’t seen you in half a month, Yumo, you’ve become even more enchanting."

"Silly, you’re always flattering me!" Su Yumo said shyly, "I’ve lost a few pounds recently, didn’t you say you like me a bit chubbier?"

"When you’re thin, I like thin; when you’re chubby, I like chubby." Ye Xuan chuckled, "A person’s taste changes, you know."

"You sweet talker!" Su Yumo felt her whole body melt. She knew Ye Xuan was just saying pretty words, but it still made her so happy.

Ye Xuan grinned, giving a good squeeze.

"Ah!"

Su Yumo yelped, then scolded shyly, "Stop messing around!"

"Stop messing around? It’s been half a month, don’t you miss me?" Ye Xuan asked.

"Of course I miss you, but this is the office, you can’t mess around here. Wait until after work, okay?" Su Yumo said, body slightly tense.

A mature woman is irresistible when teased.

Ye Xuan sulked, "What’s wrong with the office? Haven’t we done this plenty of times here? Why not now?"

"No..."

Su Yumo went limp in Ye Xuan’s arms, blushing as she spoke softly, "Mainly because I haven’t finished reading this article yet. Can I finish it first?"

"Which article?" Ye Xuan was puzzled.

"Who Stews Fish Head’s public account article." Su Yumo explained, "Their novel is so good. Each character has such a rich story, and they frequently release character spin-offs on the account. They just updated one... and are giving out red envelopes to readers!"

Ye Xuan rolled his eyes, damn that author!

Thanks to that guy, some mysterious recluse always typing away at home, Ye Xuan couldn’t tell if they were male or female or where they lived. Otherwise, he would have dealt with them!

This is seriously affecting his and Liu Ying’s private life!

Ye Xuan muttered, "Yumo, I’m jealous now."

"Jealous?" Su Yumo was shocked: "Even if you’re jealous, I have to finish reading this. They’re giving out cash red envelopes!"

Ye Xuan snapped, "You sure about that?"

"I..."

Su Yumo wanted to confirm but couldn’t utter the words because Ye Xuan’s teasing had left her uncomfortable...

"You jerk, Ye Xuan, you’re so bad!"

Su Yumo’s face turned red as she stomped her foot and tossed her phone aside on the sofa, ready to retaliate.

After a while, Su Yumo drowsily came to her senses, "Did you lock the door?"

Ye Xuan: "It’s locked."

Su Yumo’s retaliation became even more fierce.

For half a month, while Ye Xuan had been enjoying himself, Su Yumo had been all alone missing him. It was truly a drought meeting rain!
