Jiang Qing lowered her head and replied, "President Jiang, I'm just here to bring coffee for you and Young Master Lin. There's nothing else. I'll leave right away, right away."
Jiang Qing hurriedly left the office.
Arriving at the office door,
she looked back in the direction of the office with a puzzled expression.
For some unknown reason, President Su would occasionally look at her with the eyes of a love rival.
She obviously never had any thoughts or actions indicating she was interested in Young Master Lin.
What on earth gave President Su the misunderstanding that she was her rival?
"Secretary Jiang," an assistant handed her a book. "I've finished reading this novel. It's really good. If you have any similar novels in the future, remember to recommend them to me."
Previously, she had only read novels about a yandere female CEO successfully chasing her husband.
She accidentally saw a novel in Secretary Jiang's drawer called "Yandere Female CEO? No, the Male Lead Belongs to This Secretary."
She became interested right then and there.
A novel where the female secretary usurps the female lead's position?
A novel that even Secretary Jiang was reading must be pretty good.
She immediately borrowed it from Secretary Jiang. Including the two days of the weekend, she stayed up late for four days and finally finished reading it.
I have to say, the romance in it is so thrilling. And the female secretary in the novel is really good at flirting. No wonder the male lead ignored the domineering female CEO and fell for the secretary.
Novel?
Jiang Qing furrowed her brows, her gaze falling on the novel in the assistant's hand.
Jiang Qing: "!!!"
The one about the female secretary and the male lead!
She thought she finally knew why President Su occasionally looked at her like a rival. It turned out to be because of this novel!
President Su always associated the female lead of this novel with her, thinking she was also the kind of woman who coveted Young Master Lin and wanted to climb the ranks.
"What a disaster."
Jiang Qing looked up at the white ceiling, regretting it once again in her heart.
Back when President Su asked her to find some novels with good flirting techniques for her to learn from, she shouldn't have given this novel to President Su.
Wasn't this digging her own grave?
To President Su, Young Master Lin was her everything, and she wouldn't tolerate anyone coveting him.
She, as a secretary, couldn't even compare to a single finger of Young Master Lin.
If President Su suspected that she liked Young Master Lin and even wanted to push her out to take her place, President Su might really transfer her, this "rival," to work in some godforsaken place one day, or even kill her.
Now it seemed that only by dating and getting married could she completely dispel President Su's suspicions.
But... she had psychological trauma and couldn't get close to men.
There was only one way... She had to find someone to put on an act, making President Su mistakenly believe she had a man she liked. They could even go get a marriage certificate and be a couple in name only.
In short, keeping her little life safe was the most important thing!
The assistant looked at Jiang Qing in confusion, "Secretary Jiang, did something happen? Why do you have such a hopeless expression on your face?"
Jiang Qing looked completely drained of energy. "I'm fine. I just feel a bit tired."
"Then, Secretary Jiang, get some good rest," the assistant said.
"Okay."
Jiang Qing returned to her desk and slumped over it.
"Sigh."
She sighed again and again.
Inside the CEO's office.
"Weren't you busy with work at your company? How come you have time to see me?" Su Hua said expressionlessly.
Lin Xuan took a deep breath.
It seemed that Hua was quite angry today.
In the past, when speaking to him, Hua's voice was very gentle and soft. How could it be as cold and hard as it was now?
"Hua, I came to your company specifically to explain to you about my company's security guards rejecting the gifts you sent," Lin Xuan said.
"Oh."
Su Hua returned her gaze to her work.
She remained expressionless, looking as if she didn't care about Lin Xuan's explanation.
"Hua, the main thing is that someone kept coming to the company to send me gifts today. I arranged for my subordinates to reject all the gifts sent today. I didn't know they would reject yours too," Lin Xuan explained.
Su Hua originally wasn't angry with Lin Xuan, but upon hearing his words, she dangerously narrowed her eyes in an instant.
"Oh?" Su Hua's tone was chilling. "To think someone actually sent Ah Xuan a lot of gifts. I wonder which of Ah Xuan's female confidantes sent them."
To think someone dared to covet her Ah Xuan. How very wonderful.
It seemed she would have to get Jiang Qing to investigate her thoroughly.
"It's not some female confidante, Hua. You know this person too; it's Jiang Yutong," Lin Xuan said.
Su Hua froze for a moment.
Her brows furrowed tightly.
It was actually Jiang Yutong...
Aside from money, in terms of military and political power, the Jiang family was not inferior to hers. Open and aboveboard methods wouldn't work against Jiang Yutong. She could use the power of the Night Rose, but... Jiang Yutong and Ah Xuan were blood-related. She could tell that Ah Xuan had quite a good impression of this Jiang Yutong.
If Ah Xuan found out that she did something to Jiang Yutong, he might fall out with her.
She didn't dare to take that gamble.
"What did she send you?" Su Hua asked again.
Lin Xuan replied, "Just some roses and a watch. I didn't open the other gifts to look."
"Heh, roses." Coldness flickered in Su Hua's eyes.
Roses were generally things given to someone you liked.
Did Jiang Yutong have feelings for Ah Xuan?
Lin Xuan frowned.
He had explained, so why did he feel that Hua's mood hadn't improved at all, but rather the aura around her was getting colder and colder?
"Hua," Lin Xuan hurriedly added, "don't misunderstand. I returned all those gifts, the roses and the watch. I didn't accept a single one."
"Jiang Yutong is probably using this method to get me to return to the Jiang family, so she kept sending me gifts. I had no choice but to arrange for my subordinates to reject everything sent to the company. I had no idea that you, Hua, would also send me something."
"Hua, I'd be overjoyed to receive something from you, so how could I possibly reject it?"
Su Hua remained expressionless, making it impossible to read her emotions.
Lin Xuan still felt that Su Hua hadn't calmed down yet.
He took a deep breath.
It seemed he could only use the old method.
Lin Xuan walked up to Su Hua's desk. With a bang, he trapped Su Hua against her chair.
His fingers lifted Su Hua's chin, and he kissed the woman's red lips.
"Hua, don't be angry anymore, okay?" Lin Xuan said, his lips brushing against the corner of the woman's mouth.
Su Hua pursed her lips.
The coldness radiating from her didn't fade in the slightest.
Heh.
Did Ah Xuan think a single kiss would make her calm down? Was that possible?
"Hua."
Lin Xuan pinched Su Hua's chin and kissed her again.
"I know I was wrong. Next time, I won't ever reject your deliveries again."
"Forgive me, alright?"
At this, the coldness around Su Hua dissipated quite a bit.
Lin Xuan felt it too.
Mhm.
If one kiss wasn't enough, then two.
However, even though Hua wasn't as angry now, she was still mad.
If he wanted Hua to completely calm down, he could only use the ultimate method: flirting with Hua! Coaxing Hua into bed!
Every time it reached this point, no matter how great Hua's anger was, it would completely vanish.

m back to his original world. In the end, he realized he had overthought things. [Hey, why is Shen Manni, the female lead, acting strange? Shouldn't she be fawning over the male lead at this point?] [Zhou Qiaoqiao, are you sick? Weren't you supposed to break off your engagement today?] [Damn it! An Youyi, please do your job as an undercover agent and sell my information to the protagonist, you idiot!] ... At this moment, Xu Mo himself didn't know that these female leads had already heard his inner thoughts. Then they decided not to play by the rules.
