Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Yun Yiyi had just entered Hua Corporation’s building when Qiao Qiao, who was sitting at the front desk, hurriedly asked, “Yiyi, what happened? Why were you suddenly fired by the chief editor?”

“I want to know what happened as well.” Yun Yiyi was drenched from the rain.

Colleague A saw Yun Yiyi and hurriedly went up to her. “Senior editor, you’re finally here! What happened?”

Colleague B approached her as well. “I spoke to Ya Qing. Ya Qing said she doesn’t know what’s going on either. All she saw was an email from Chief Editor Ye saying you’re not serious about your work.”

Colleague C cried out indignantly, “Senior Editor Yun takes her work very seriously!”

Colleague B said, “I didn’t say it. It’s what’s written in the email.”

Although Yun Yiyi was a senior editor, she got along very well with her colleagues. For this reason, the matter of her being fired so suddenly made them worry. She said gently, “All of you, get back to work first. I’ll deal with this matter…”

“Okay.”

Yun Yiyi walked into her office before she called the chief editor, Ye Haoxuan.

“Sorry, the number you have dialed is currently unavailable.”

She called a few more times, but it was the same. She could not get through to Ye Haoxuan at all.

Yun Yiyi frowned.

At this time, someone knocked on her door.

“Come in.”

A woman with shoulder-length hair in a black dress opened the door. She looked very capable. This woman was none other than Ya Qing, Ye Haoxuan’s secretary. She looked at Yun Yiyi apologetically and said, “Senior Editor Yun, I’m sorry.”

“Do you know why I can’t get through to Chief Editor Ye’s phone?” Yun Yiyi asked.

“He has gone abroad for some business. He’ll be back in a week.” Ya Qing looked a little uneasy.

Yun Yiyi did not make things difficult for Ya Qing. She said, “You can return to your work. I’ll leave after I pack my things up.”

“I’m sorry, Senior Editor Yun. I don’t know what’s going on either.” Ya Qing looked at Yun Yiyi apologetically. “I can’t contact Chief Editor Ye as well.”

“It’s fine,” Yun Yiyi said as she sorted out the documents on her desk, “You can leave first.”

“Okay.”

After Ya Qing left, Yun Yiyi could not help but sigh. She had always put in her best effort at work. How could it be that she was not serious about her work?

A thought appeared in her mind at this moment. She had a hunch. She quickly brought her mobile phone to her ear after she dialed Gu Jingyan’s number. It rang, but nobody answered her call. She called him three times consecutively before her call was finally picked up.

Gu Jingyan said from the other end of the phone, “Are you sick? Why do you keep calling me?”

Yun Yiyi said through gritted teeth, “Gu Jingyan! When did you become so despicable that you even stooped so low as to get me fired?”

Gu Jingyan replied, “You’ve been fired? That’s great. However, let me make it clear to you. I’ve been very busy over the past two days. I don’t have any time to play such petty tricks on you. Don’t flatter yourself.”

Yun Yiyi immediately hung up the phone. If Gu Jingyan said he did not do it, she believed him. Although he was a scumbag, he would not lie about this.

She could not contact Ye Haoxuan. It seemed like her dismissal was a foregone conclusion, and there was no room for discussion.

Yun Yiyi had been working in Hua Corporation since she graduated from university. She had relied on hard work to become a senior editor. It was ridiculous that she was fired without any warning. She was truly upset. After all, she relied on her reputation in this industry. Once news of her dismissal spread, her reputation that she had worked so hard to build over the years would be tarnished. At that time, it would be difficult for her to find another job.

Apart from being upset, she was also confused. She had worked with Ye Haoxuan for many years now. Why did he suddenly fire her over a groundless reason?

At this moment, someone knocked on her door again.

The frown on Yun Yiyi’s face was instantly replaced by a smile. “Come in.”

Qiao Qiao, the receptionist, walked in with a paper bag. “Someone just delivered this… It’s for you…”

Yun Yiyi reached out to take the bag. When she opened it, she saw a white dress. The dress was made of satin and felt comfortable to the touch. Only when she saw the dress did she finally remember she was wet from the rain. This dress truly arrived in a timely manner. To her surprise, the size of the dress fit her as well.

When Yun Yiyi held up the dress, Qiao Qiao coincidentally saw the label on the dress. “Wow, it’s from Prada! I fell in love with this dress when I saw it last week. Alas, it’s too expensive. It costs 120,000 yuan!”

Yun Yiyi did not notice the dress was from Prada until Qiao Qiao pointed it out. “Who sent it?”

“I don’t know. A man wearing sunglasses left after saying it’s for you.”

“What did he look like?”

Qiao Qiao thought about it for a moment before she replied, “He’s slightly fat, and his skin is a little dark… Oh, he looks a little fierce as well.”

Yun Yiyi raised an eyebrow. Such a person sounded quite conspicuous. If she knew someone like that, she would definitely remember him. She was even more confused now. Why did a stranger spend 120,000 yuan to buy a dress for her? It was not something ordinary workers could afford! Who was it from?

“Senior Editor Yun, could it be from some rich man whom you interviewed in the past?” Qiao Qiao asked curiously.

“Don’t talk nonsense,” Yun Yiyi chided gently before she said. “Alright, return to your work first. I still need to pack my things.”

Yun Yiyi knew Qiao Qiao only asked such a question because Qiao Qiao was unaware of her marriage to Gu Jingyan. In fact, only Ye Haoxuan was aware of her marriage.

“Ok, I won’t disturb you any longer,” Qiao Qiao said before leaving.

Yun Yiyi looked at the dress, lost in her thoughts. She wracked her brain trying to think of who could have given her such an expensive dress. However, it was futile. In the end, she put the dress aside, thinking maybe it was delivered to her by mistake.

After that, she dried her hair with tissue paper and continued organizing her documents.

Although it was late summer, her wet body began to shiver due to the air-conditioning in the office. It was really cold.

At this moment, her phone rang. Although it was an unfamiliar number, she still answered the call. “Hello? May I know to whom I’m speaking?”

“Fei Mo.” A cold and deep voice rang from the other end of the phone.

Yun Yiyi was a little surprised that Fei Mo came looking for her so quickly. “If there’s anything you need me to do, just let me know. I’ll be on standby.”

After saying that, she felt that she was acting like a loyal dog to Fei Mo. However, she had an agreement with him, and she needed his help, after all. She could hardly reject his request.

Fei Mo asked, “What time do you get off work?”

“Ah?” Yun Yiyi looked at the clock on the wall before she replied, “In another 20 minutes.”

Fei Mo said, “Call me back in 20 minutes then.”

“Okay.”

As soon as Yun Yiyi finished speaking, Fei Mo hung up immediately. She listened to the familiar beeping from the phone with a raised eyebrow. The cold and curt conversation was really similar to Fei Mo.

…

When it was almost time to get off work, Yun Yiyi was done packing her things. After bidding farewell to her colleagues, she prepared to leave. She lingered for a moment to reminisce about the five years she spent at the company.

At this moment, an insouciant voice rang in the air. “Yun Yiyi…”

The smile on Yun Yiyi was instantly replaced by a frown when she turned around and saw the handsome and arrogant Gu Jingyan who was dressed in a blue suit leaning lazily against the door.
