Psst! We're moving!
He Jingxiu’s gaze swept from top to bottom, as if scrutinizing, or perhaps evaluating.
After waiting for a while, Bo Ying still didn’t get an answer from him and urged anxiously, “CEO He, why aren’t you saying anything?”
“...”
He Jingxiu curved his lips, staring intently at her and saying, “You don’t look like an assistant.”
Bo Ying parted her lips, about to throw a minor tantrum, when He Jingxiu said, “But you look a lot like the future CEO’s wife of He Group.”
Instantly, the minor tantrum that Bo Ying hadn’t even had a chance to express vanished completely.
Who could resist that?
Certainly not her.
Although she coveted the annual salary of He Jingxiu’s chief assistant, she preferred the unique, vacant position of the CEO’s wife even more.
He Jingxiu saw her face light up with a smile, lightly pinched her nose, “Still want to be an assistant?”
“Actually, I still do.”
He Jingxiu paused his steps.
Bo Ying curved her lips, blinked at him, and whispered, “I can be one for a day or half a day.”
Seeing her inexplicably flushed cheeks, He Jingxiu paused slightly, then suddenly said, “Role-playing?”
Bo Ying: “...”
“Okay,” he nodded, “I’ll play with you next time.”
“...”

After leaving the company, the two went on a date outside.
Bo Ying and He Jingxiu’s daily life was actually quite ordinary: dinner dates, occasionally punctuated by small surprises from him.
Bo Ying loved Browse various small shops. He Jingxiu, being such a busy person, would often make time to accompany her. Wherever she wanted to go, no matter how incompatible it was with his status, he would go with her.
On Sunday, the two cozied up at home, watching movies and reading, occasionally handling some neglected official business, and walking the dog.
When Bo Ying was with He Jingxiu, she became completely useless; she needed his help with everything and just wanted to cling to him for kisses and hugs all day.
She didn’t know if other girls in relationships were like this, but she always felt she could be as affectionate as possible with him without ever getting tired.
Like kissing, she loved the feeling of kissing He Jingxiu, even hoping they would never part, just stick together intimately.
But happy times are always short-lived.
________________________________________
Monday’s work was miserable.
Bo Ying arrived at the company looking listless. She was still driving her small Mini, followed by a cameraman and director.
Initially, she thought it would be no different than before, but only after entering the elevator and encountering company colleagues did Bo Ying gradually feel something was amiss.
In the elevator, everyone occasionally looked at her. Although they didn’t speak, their gazes conveyed everything.
They still remembered the gossip that spread on Saturday.
Considering Bo Ying had a cameraman with her, no one asked her directly.
The director and cameraman were confused, looking at Bo Ying with curiosity, asking with their eyes what was wrong.
Bo Ying touched the tip of her nose, feeling a little like laughing, but mostly embarrassed.
She shook her head, remaining silent.
When she reached the floor where the law firm was, she ran into Yu Mengjia again.
Yu Mengjia was holding two cups of coffee. After handing her one, she looked at Bo Ying with a hesitant expression.
Bo Ying took a sip, then turned her head and met her gaze... which was hard to describe.
She paused, not bothering to hide the microphone she was still wearing, and asked in a low voice, “What do you want to ask me?”
Yu Mengjia pointed downstairs, “When I came up just now, I heard some gossip. It’s about you.”
Hearing that, Bo Ying curved her lips: “Is that so.”
Yu Mengjia looked at her relaxed expression, somewhat worried, “Don’t you mind?”
“Mind what?” Bo Ying looked at her, thought for a moment, and said, “I’ll tell you on WeChat.”
The director team, listening to the gossip: ?
________________________________________
Back at her desk, before work officially started, Bo Ying chatted with Yu Mengjia for a bit.
Yu Mengjia directly relayed the gossip she heard downstairs, and not surprisingly, it was about the weekend incident.
Yu Mengjia: [So many people are saying you threw yourself at CEO He! And he pushed you away! Then they’re saying you’re overestimating yourself and need to look in a mirror or something, I’m so angry!]
Bo Ying: [Then do you think what they’re saying is true?]
Yu Mengjia: [Of course not!]
Bo Ying: [.]
Seeing her period, Yu Mengjia’s eyelid twitched, and she carefully sent a question mark: [You don’t actually like CEO He, do you?]
Bo Ying didn’t hide anything from her new friend: [Yes, I quite like him.]
Yu Mengjia: [?? Then CEO He has bad eyesight!!]
Bo Ying: [How so?]
Yu Mengjia: [You like him, and he still pushes you away. What else could that be but bad eyesight?]
As a friend, Yu Mengjia was blindly loyal.
Although He Jingxiu was excellent, capable, and very handsome, her friend wasn’t bad either! She felt that even if Bo Ying liked him, it wasn’t necessarily his honor, but why would he push Bo Ying away?
Just because he was rich, or because he was handsome?!
Bo Ying never expected Yu Mengjia to think that way.
She was exasperated, raising her lips and furiously typing: [You’re right, he used to have bad eyesight, he rejected me many times.]
Yu Mengjia, worthy of being a fan of idol groups, quickly caught the key point: [Used to? So that means his eyesight is good now?]
Bo Ying: [Something like that. Now his taste in girlfriends is excellent.]
Yu Mengjia: [...Don’t tell me you’re already CEO He’s girlfriend.]
If not, she wouldn’t praise He Jingxiu’s eyesight like that.
Bo Ying: [Our Lawyer Yu is so smart.]
Yu Mengjia: [...]
Yu Mengjia: [When did it start!! You didn’t say anything! Aren’t you going to treat me to a meal?!]
Yu Mengjia: [Oh my god, you’re really quietly doing big things! No wonder you told me CEO He was handsome before, so it’s a case of love is blind!]
...
She sent Bo Ying several long messages, and Bo Ying hadn’t even had time to reply when Yu Mengjia added: [Forget it, those aren’t important. Just remember to treat me to a meal. I’m just curious what all this gossip everyone’s spreading is about now?]
Bo Ying couldn’t help but laugh: [What everyone is saying isn’t exactly a rumor. I was indeed pushed away by CEO He on Saturday.]
Yu Mengjia: [?]
Bo Ying: [Just a little couple’s fun, you know.]
Yu Mengjia didn’t quite understand, after all, she was just an online lurker who shipped fictional couples.
She hadn’t shipped anyone around her yet.
She didn’t want to eat real-life “dog food” at such close range either.
________________________________________
The two chatted for a while before work started. Bo Ying briefly explained her relationship with He Jingxiu and said she’d treat Yu Mengjia to a meal after the variety show filming ended. Only then did Yu Mengjia let her go, satisfied.
As for the colleagues downstairs, she didn’t pay much attention to them, since she couldn’t see or hear them anyway.
But Pei Yunmeng could hear them. Listening to what her office colleagues were saying, she was furious and furiously messaged Bo Ying to complain during work hours.
However, Bo Ying was busy, and by the time she replied, Pei Yunmeng’s anger had already subsided.
Of course, occasionally, she couldn’t resist helping Bo Ying retort.
Like now.
The women’s restroom was always a source and breeding ground for gossip.
As soon as Pei Yunmeng entered the restroom, she heard Zhu Xiaxia, Du Nan, and two other colleagues chatting outside. They were talking about Bo Ying.
“Sister Nan, did you get any news? What’s going on with CEO He and Bo Ying?”
Du Nan snorted coldly, “What do you think could be going on? Do you think our CEO He has such bad taste that he would even look at a spoiled princess like Bo Ying?”
Zhu Xiaxia: “Yeah.”
She echoed, “She doesn’t even know her place, truly thinks just because her brothers are Chen Lunnan and them, she can run wild and even fantasize about our CEO He.”
Du Nan sneered, “No choice, some people are just cheap.”
She looked at herself in the mirror, her sarcasm evident, “Besides, who knows if those brothers who came to pick her up last time are really brothers who grew up together with only sibling affection.”
Zhu Xiaxia was startled, her eyes wide, and she gasped, “Sister Nan, you mean—”
Her lips parted, “No way, Teacher Chen and them all have wives.”
Du Nan glanced at her, emboldened by their inability to hear, and continued, “Are there few men who mess around outside?”
She scoffed, “They’re just using the excuse of being brothers and sisters to do disgusting things.”
She certainly didn’t believe Bo Ying truly came from such a background.
As soon as she finished speaking, a cup of water was suddenly splashed on Du Nan’s face.
“Ah!”
She shrieked.
Zhu Xiaxia and the others cautiously looked towards where the water came from. Upon seeing Pei Yunmeng, Zhu Xiaxia yelled, “Pei Yunmeng, what are you doing?!”
“Can’t you tell?”
Pei Yunmeng placed the cup in her hand on the sink, her face clearly angry, “I’m washing Sister Nan’s mouth, but I’m sorry, I think I missed my aim and splashed water on Sister Nan’s face instead.”
Du Nan reached up, wiped the water from her face, and looked at her furiously, “Pei Yunmeng, are you sick?!”
“I think you’re the one who needs to see a doctor,” Pei Yunmeng said coldly, crossing her arms, “Sister Nan, do you have a disease where your mouth will grow something if you don’t slander others and spread conspiracy theories behind their backs?”
“You—” Du Nan looked at her and, unable to tolerate it any longer, directly raised her hand and pushed.
Pei Yunmeng was not to be outdone and directly kicked her.
In an instant, the women’s restroom erupted into chaos.
“Stop fighting, stop fighting!”
“The manager’s coming!”
“CEO He’s here!”
“...”
________________________________________
Bo Ying was a little stunned when she received He Jingxiu’s message.
“What?”
She was puzzled, “Asking me to come upstairs?”
He Jingxiu “mm-ed.”
Bo Ying pursed her lips, and asked in a low voice, “Did something happen to you? I’m still filming here.”
He Jingxiu sighed helplessly, rubbing his temples, “Come here. Pei Yunmeng got into a fight with someone.”
“Huh?”
Bo Ying asked for leave from her supervising lawyer and spoke to the program director briefly, then took off her microphone and walked upstairs.
When she reached the door, He Jingxiu’s other assistant, Jian Yi, was waiting for her.
“Miss Bo.”
Bo Ying nodded, “What happened?”
Jian Yi shook her head, sighed, and said, “You’ll know when you see it. CEO He is very angry.”
“Okay.”
He Jingxiu’s office door was open. When Bo Ying entered, many people were standing on both sides.
On one side were Du Nan, Zhu Xiaxia, and two other colleagues; on the other side was Pei Yunmeng. He Jingxiu sat in the middle, Manager Lu stood beside him, and a little further, were other colleagues from the legal department.
Hearing the sound, everyone uniformly looked towards her.
Bo Ying received everyone’s gaze and met He Jingxiu’s eyes. It was the first time she saw a hint of anger on He Jingxiu’s face.
She frowned and looked at Pei Yunmeng: “You...”
Her clothes were disheveled, her hair was messy, and she had water on her.
Bo Ying immediately stepped forward, touching her hand, “Are you cold?”
“...Not cold,” Pei Yunmeng’s voice was a little hoarse.
Bo Ying felt her hand, and at this moment, she didn’t care about anything else. She turned to He Jingxiu and asked, “Are the clothes I left here last time still inside?”
He Jingxiu: “Yes, there are new ones prepared for you in the closet.”
Bo Ying nodded, and under everyone’s gaze, she familiarly walked towards He Jingxiu’s private lounge inside.
Instantly, everyone present widened their eyes and gasped.
Holy crap, holy crap?!
