Chapter 16: How Could It Be Him?

Translator: Iris Guo

A glimmer of doubt crossed Mu Jiuyue’s eyes, but hadn’t she already apologized? She felt aggrieved too.

Thinking about this, Mu Jiuyue was emotional again and wiped her tears.

“This isn’t like Miss Mu who bombed my villa.” Before figuring it out, she was startled by a voice behind her and quickly turned back.

Leaning arrogantly against the wall, Su Feng’ao looked at her impassively.

“Uncle Su, are you a ghost? There’s no sound when you walk.” Mu Jiuyue covered her chest and glared at him peevishly. ‘This phantom-like man!’

“Humph, you cried so intently and did not even notice someone next to you.” Su Feng’ao sneered lightly.

“I didn’t!” When Mu Jiuyue heard his words, she was like a cat in fury.

“Huh.” Su Feng’ao glanced at her, and said in a lower voice, “Why don’t you go back now and get the report? No use shedding tears here.”

Speaking of the report, Mu Jiuyue became impatient.

Abruptly, she stood up and looked him in the eye, “It’s none of your business.”

“This is Su’s company, not Mu’s Group where you can do whatever you want.” Su Feng’ao’s voice was icy cold and merciless.

“You asked me to come here!” Now her grievance was gone and her eyes showed flames of fury.    

“I thought that Mr. Mu would at least have some influence on Miss Mu. It seems I was wrong.” His tone was contemptuous.

Others could look down on her, but not her grandpa!

Mu Jiuyue, who was already in a fury, heard his remark about Mr. Mu, then got up and rushed over to him. “Su Feng’ao, we are at daggers drawn!”

Su Feng’ao, obviously not expecting Mu Jiuyue’s action, took a step backwards.

Mu Jiuyue, with her former injury on foot, lost her balance and then fell to the ground.

Unexpectedly, there was no pain.

Mu Jiuyue opened her eyes, only to find that Su Feng’ao had come near and caught her.

She hurriedly pushed the man away and took a step back.

“Clumsy girl.” Su Feng’ao’s eyes were cold and the corners of his mouth showed a sarcastic smile.

“No one is cleverer than you!” Mu Jiuyue was indignant and said ironically.

The strong wind on the rooftop blew loose Mu Jiuyue’s hair, obscured her vision, and made it difficult for her to see Su Feng’ao’s expression.

“This is a company, not your home. Work is no child’s play. Leaving papers at home is a dereliction of duty in itself. Yes, you apologized, but if the damage is done because of this little carelessness of you, who will make it up? Figure it out and then you can go down.” Su Feng’ao said and turned to leave.

She raised her eyes, catching sight of his back. She was stunned and slightly curled her fingers.

On that day, Mu Jiuyue stayed there for a long time before she came down and went to the director’s office.

Undoubtedly, she was scolded again by the director, but she got somewhat clear-minded afterwards.

“Jiuyue, here’s the information you asked for, take a look at it?” Mu Jiuyue was counting the numbers when she suddenly heard the voice of someone next to her----a colleague who she had asked for help earlier.

Mu Jiuyue looked up, took it and smiled at the colleague, “Thank you.”

The male colleague opposite saw Mu Jiuyue’s smile. He instantly became bashful, touched his head embarrassedly, and said with a smile, “You check it firstly. Let me know if there’s anything wrong.”

“Thank you.” She responded. Seeing that he hadn’t left yet, she was somewhat puzzled and asked, “What is wrong?”

“Nothing, nothing.” The colleague ran away in a hurry, leaving Mu Jiuyue in confusion.

Mu Jiuyue shook her head and smiled, looking down continually at the data. Suddenly, someone touched her arm. She looked up, finding that it was a very cute little girl sitting next to her, named Feifei.

“Jiuyue, does Chen Cheng fancy you?” The little girl nosily blinked her eyes towards Mu Jiuyue, showing a teasing smile.

Mu Jiuyue was startled to hear it, and then replied helplessly, “Impossible.”

“So do you have a crush on anyone?” Feifei continued curiously.

The pen in Mu Jiuyue’s hand paused for a while. Then the image of a man flashed across her mind. As if startled, she hurriedly shook her head, “No.”

How could she possibly like him? It must be the stress of recent work causing the insanity!

...

In the magnificent hotel box of Junlang Hotel, celebrities and businessmen from all walks of life gathered here.

“Why’s here?”

In the corner, Su Feng’ao, with a glass of wine, leaned lazily on the sofa, relaxed and casual.

Hearing this voice, Su Feng’ao raised the wine glass in his hand. His voice was somewhat magnetic, “Too much noise over there. It’s quieter here.”

“Gee, isn’t it because of the person in Ye family?” The man drained his glass of wine, and slightly raised his attractive eyes.

Some emotion crossed Su Feng’ao’s eyes as he faintly cast a glance, “Ye Chengxi, mind your own business.”

In the middle of the banquet hall, people’s attention was attracted to a woman in a green dress from time to time, but the woman who was always showing a gentle smile seemed to be unaware of it.
