After taking leave from the company, Chen Ying went along with Bai Yuexi to the hospital. On their way back to Yuexi’s home after treatment, Cheng Ying bought some necessary supplements for her friend..

Later, when both of them were sitting on the sofa at home, Chen Ying suddenly said, “That day in the bar, when I saw Li Fengjue’s worried expression, I thought he truly cared for you. So … I called him … would you blame me for meddling unnecessarily?”

Yuexi smiled and said, “I knew you did it for me. ”

Chen Ying gnashed, “I just didn’t expect that he would go with the Xu brother and sister!”

“The two families already had a marriage contract. Even if Li Fengjue disagrees, the Xu family wouldn’t give up.”

Perceiving her friend’s self-mocking, Chen Ying snarled, “It’s not like we are living in the ancient times. You don’t have to listen to your parents about everything. Also, as for the man who bullied you, I will definitely find him. I will beat him hard and let him kneel to apologize to you!”

At her words, Yuexi giggled and hugged Chen Ying by her neck, “I know you are the best, but you have to maintain your goddess character, okay?”

“Do you know what a goddess is? A goddess is like a fairy who can help her girlfriend out of trouble.” Chen Ying smiled proudly.

But then she frowned, thinking about something and held Yuexi’s shoulder before seriously saying, “Also, you must look out for that Xu Ziqi in the future. I don’t think she is a good person. How could you meet a lunatic when you were only having a simple coffee? There must be something strange about it.”

Yuexi held her shoulder and sighed. “She is a but little girl who looks soft and weak. You don’t have to fear her. Even if she has some evil intentions, she can’t do anything to hurt me.”

“I know you wouldn’t take her seriously! But dangers often happen inadvertently, so you really have to be careful.” Chen Ying stubbornly persuaded her as if she had gone through the same things before. Maybe she would have kept on talking if it weren’t for the company’s phone call asking her to come back to deal with pending work.

After Cheng Ying left, Yuexi was left alone in the empty room. She lay on the sofa as she stared at the ceiling absent-mindedly. In her mind, Li Fengjue and Xu Ziqi hugging together kept on replaying. She just couldn’t forget it. With all kinds of thoughts whirling around her mind Yuexi fell asleep.. She didn’t know how long she had slept, but after a while she felt a rapid ringing of the phone in her ears. In a daze, she looked up to see Fengjue calling her. She muted her phone and continued to sleep.Ccontent © exclusive by Nô/vel(D)ra/ma.Org.

. After three days of resting at home, the wounds on her face had healed. She also had ample time to readjust her mood.. So, the next day, she went to the company early in the morning. As soon as she walked up the stairs to her office floor, she heard the noises coming from inside.. When her colleagues saw her, they pointed fingers at her, while mocking at her, “She still has the nerve to come to work, even after getting beaten up by the legitimate girlfriend! If I were her, I would hide at home forever.”

“She usually looks very diligent. So, I didn’t expect her private life to be so messy”

“As the old saying goes, we shouldn’t judge a person solely based on their appearances.”

Yuexi was baffled by the sudden commotion. Only those who were present at the scene that day knew that she had gotten beaten up. Chen Ying absolutely won’t leak the information, then who was the one that spread it? Nevertheless, she sighed and went to her desk.

As soon as she walked to her seat, Qian Jing sashayed towards her with an amusing look on her face and sneered at her in a sharp voice, “Oh, have you lost some weight in a few days? I heard you got beaten up. Is that man blind? He even dared to hit you!”

At her unkind words, Yuexi curled up the corners of her lips and gave her a once over before saying, “It seems that you put up quite a bit of weight, you appear out of shape.”

“You!” Qian Jing’s temper flared. “I assume you haven’t learned anything even after getting beaten up by the legitimate girlfriend!”

“It is you who haven’t learned a lesson. You think you have something to threaten me with, so you started spreading rumors again.”

“You … That’s nonsense! I have nothing to do with it. In the first place, if you are an upright person, you wouldn’t be afraid of the rumors.”

Yuexi originally just wanted to trick her. But seeing her becoming pale and stuttering, Yuexi understood the scenario. Not long ago, they had forged a grudge. At that day, only Liu Chen and she met Xu Ziqi. They probably followed her and made up the rumors.

“I have a special relationship with Li Fengjue, but you even can’t get into his office. How are you qualified enough to judge me?” Since the rumors were already spreading wildly in the office, she simply admited it. After all, she indeed had an intimate relationship with Li Fengjue.

It was amusing to see Qian Jing face turn white, then red and then white again. She was so angry that she couldn’t speak. She stared fiercely at Yuexi for a long while before cursing, “I have never seen someone as shameless as you!”

Bai Yuexi replied nonchalantly, “No, when it comes to shamelessness, I can’t compare with you!”

Qian Jing gritted her teeth in frustration. She stealthily took out the recording pen that she had prepared in advance from her pocket. With an evil glint in her eyes, she asked, “So, you admit that you are President Li’s mistress?” “Yes, so, what?”

Yuexi wasn’t stupid enough to tell her that they were actually husband and wife. It would not only cause even more heated discussions in the company but also attract unnecessary attention from the media. Yuexi just wanted to live a quiet and fulfilling life. Finally, getting the answer she wanted, Qian Jing looked at Yuexi with contempt. “Oh, no wonder you got beaten up and went to hospital. It turns out you are the home wrecker!” She raised her voice to draw the attention of her colleagues.

Yuexi frowned. Qian Jing triumphantly looked at her with a sneer and shook the recorder pen in her hand to Yuexi.

Did she actually record their conversation? Yuexi was caught off guard, she didn’t expect Qian Jing to play the same trick, she had played on Qian Jing and Liu Chen before. However, there wass actually nothing in that recording pen. She was only able to successfully deceive them because of their guilty conscience.

It was only then she realized that Qian Jing had deliberately provoked her to say those words. Yuexi subconsciously wanted to grab the recording pen but Qian Jing swiftly evaded her, took a step back, and hid it behind her.. Qian Jing stared coldly at Yuexi, “With this as evidence, I want to know how you can stay in the company!”

Yuexi frowned, “Why are you are so eager to drive me out of the company?”

“Oh, common fame is seldom to blame. I originally thought that after Lin Chuchu’s resignation, I only needed to deal with Chen Ying. I just didn’t expect you to join in. You have no one to blame for your losing job since you are too shameless!”

After whispering these words, Qian Jing raised the recording pen in her hand and said loudly, “Everyone stops working! Bai Yuexi has something to say!”.

A few people were already curiously watching them since the beginning. So they hurriedly came over to speculate while others also joined. “Sister Bai, what do you want to say?”. With a mocking tone, a new intern asked her as the other onlookers also looked at her contemptuously.

Yuexi clenched her fists hard. She glanced at these people and sneered, “Qian Jing, what do you mean?”

“With things as such, don’t you want to explain your relationship with Master Li? Everyone is very curious. Or do you want me to help you by playing this clip.” She said as she glanced at the recorder in her hand. Suddenly, a pair of big hands grabbed the recorder pen and directly pressed the play button.
