Chapter 357: Chapter 358 Another Assumption

Qin Lan was clearly expecting some sort of interesting show. Hearing that the three women were staying together, I was no longer in the mood to care about whether Brother Wei would have a fight with Gong Fanlin. I quickly said, “Thanks, I’m going to her office.”

“I have decided. From now on, Chu Nan will be my role model. Just look at him, going in and out of Ms. Mo’s office is like going in and out of his own bedroom.”

“If you have the ability, you can also chase Ms. Mo, then you will also be able to go in and out of her office at will.”

“Chasing Ms. Mo? Hehe. Have you counted how many rich guys have chased Ms. Mo before? Did you see Ms. Mo let anyone in? I know my own limit. I only respect Ms. Mo and admire her ability.”

“Damn, Old Black, since when are you a man who gives up so quickly? Oh right, you must have decided to chase Miss Xue instead… Huh? Chu Nan, why are you walking away so fast? About the dinner tonight, Are you coming to Earthly Paradise or not?”

Earthly Paradise? I only wished that I would not fall into Earthly Hell. Even if I went far away, I could still hear the nonsense of the pack of wolves. I finally gave up. It seemed that no matter how I explained it, no one would believe that there was nothing going on between Mo Fei and me.

“Elder Brother Nan!”

I was slightly startled. After I stopped and turned around, I noticed that Yao Wan’er ran all the way to catch up with me. She saw me looking back at her, a layer of flush rose on her face, and she quickly avoided my gaze. Fiddling with her fingers, she said nervously, “Last night, I was with Elder Sister Mo all night…”

I was originally already in a very anxious state, but her words made me even more confused. She ran all the way to me just to tell me this? Moreover, why did she tell me who she was with last night? Did she think that I would get jealous because of that? Although there were a lot of complaints in my mind, I knew that Yao Wan’er was telling me this for good intentions, so I forced myself to smile and say, “Really…”

“So… I know that you were with Miss Xue the whole night last night…”

“How did you know? !” I instinctively blurted it out. ‘God damn it, I really needed to stop myself from accidentally telling other people the things that I don’t want them to know.’

“Officer Dong called Elder Sister Mo last night. She heard it from her. Officer Dong said that before Miss Xue left your flat, she secretly told Yuan Yuan that you would be staying with her for a night… She seemed to be very angry when she called, and she wanted to know if Elder Sister Mo had Miss. Xue’s address and contact number.”

After I heard this, a chill suddenly rushed down my spine. ‘This is bad! It’s all Sister Tiger’s fault!’ Speaking of jealousy, Mo Fei would not lose to Liusu at all. Could it be that she now formed a united front with Liusu and was interrogating Ziyuan at the moment? !

Thinking of the words Ziyuan deliberately told Chu Yuan, her action last night, and the perfumes that she deliberately left on my clothes in the morning…

My heart was like it was dead within me…

Yao Wan’er who was looking at the ground didn’t notice the change on my face. She continued, “Elder Brother Nan, I know you like Elder Sister Mo and Liusu, and you don’t want to have a relationship with one more woman, but Miss Xue seems to care about you a lot. Yesterday, when everyone had lunch together at noon, all she talked about were you, so I was wondering… if you are really going to resign again as Elder Brother Wei said, and avoid her like the last time you were trying to avoid Elder Sister Mo…”

No wonder everyone doubted my relationship with Ziyuan. It turned out that Ziyuan had asked too many questions about me during yesterday’s lunch, and everyone had misunderstood it… But this also made me think if she had deliberately asked those questions on purpose… Thinking of this, I couldn’t help but shiver.

Not getting any response from me, Yao Wan’er raised her pretty face nervously and said slightly emotionally, “Elder Brother Nan, can you please not resign? Whether it is for the company or for Elder Sister Mo, I beg you, I don’t want to see Elder Sister Mo cry again. I know that Miss Xue’s identity seems to be very mysterious, but Elder Sister Mo and I will try our best to find it out for you!”

Yao Wan’er was still a girl who was not able to keep a secret after all. From what she said, it seemed like Sister Tiger must have told Mo Fei a lot about my concerns last night. No wonder she would tell me to get help from Mo Fei before she left the flat this morning. It turned out that she had already arranged it last night.

I suppressed the chaos in my mind, forced a smile on my face, and said, “Who said I’m going to resign?”

“Huh?” Yao Wan’er was dazed, “Then why are you dressed like this, and you were also very late…”

“Did you forget that I am still on vacation? I came back to the company because I have something that I want to ask Ms. Mo. So why do I have to wear a formal dress?”

“Oh right, I have forgotten that you are still on vacation.” Yao Wan’er finally came to the realization that I was still on my vacation. She stuck her tongue out and showed an embarrassed look. It was very cute. “Then you won’t resign right?” She seemed to still have some worries.

“I won’t.” My answer was very simple. So much so that it startled me a little. I already had that kind of relationship with Ziyuan, if I still insisted on resigning, wouldn’t it mean that I wanted to avoid my responsibility? I was a traditional male chauvinist. I couldn’t allow myself to do anything like that… When I thought of this, my heart suddenly skipped a beat. As the cold sweat slipped from the corner of my forehead, a bolder assumption suddenly came to my mind…

I would not evade responsibility, so I would not resign… But this was exactly what someone wanted to see the most.

…

The shutters of Mo Fei’s office were closed, and its sound insulation effect was very good. Even though Song Jia put her ears against the glass, she still could not hear the conversation inside. Suddenly discovering me standing behind her, she was so embarrassed that when I pushed open the office door by myself she didn’t stop me.

I didn’t know when this wooden door weighing more than 10,000 tons in the eyes of others seemed to become weightless to me… The relationship between me and Mo Fei had become a lot more ambiguous without me knowing it. She was a smart woman. She would always guide me on such small details that I often failed to notice. As a result, she was getting closer and closer to me…

“Are you the Third Lady or not?”

As soon as I entered the door, I saw a scene that startled me. Mo Fei sat in her chair with a cold face, staring at Ziyuan who was sitting opposite her.

No wonder Song Jia was standing outside the door and trying to eavesdrop on their conversation. It turned out that Ziyuan was sitting in her chair.

And Liusu leaned on the desk with her arms crossed, looking down at Ziyuan with a sharp gaze. The sentence just now came out of her mouth.

The feeling they gave me was like two policewomen interrogating a female criminal. Ziyuan looked so helpless, so pitiful… I suddenly found that my heart could be softened so easily.

Seeing me suddenly coming in, all three women were surprised, and of course, there was a little panic that could not be concealed.

“Nan Nan, We… We were…” Liusu was a little flustered. She stuttered as if she was afraid of me getting angry, but her reaction made me feel even more ashamed of myself. Seeing this kind of reaction from Liusu, I knew that Ziyuan didn’t tell them what happened last night. Otherwise, Liusu would have already rushed to me to hit me.

Mo Fei waved her hand to Song Jia, signaling her to close the door for me. Then she got up and smiled at me, “Chu Nan, why are you here? Are you not going to accompany Ms. Shu’s family?”

Mo Fei could clearly get the answer to this question from Liusu, but she still had to ask me. It meant that she didn’t want to know the answer, she simply just wanted to distract my attention.

“I have something to ask Ziyuan,” After thinking about it, I said again, “And also you as well.”

“Me? What is it?” I didn’t know why Mo Fei would become excited after hearing that I wanted to ask her something.

I could clearly see that when Ziyuan’s eyes glanced at the clothes on my body, there was a trace of complexity that could not be hidden on her face. After meeting my gaze, she immediately turned her head, and the blush quickly rushed from her neck all the way to her ears. I thought she would not feel embarrassed. It turned out that she was just pretending.

“We can talk about it later,” I couldn’t look away from Ziyuan. I smiled faintly and said, “I want to listen to Ziyuan’s answer first.”

Seeing that I did not get angry at them for interrogating Ziyuan, Liusu and Mo Fei were obviously relieved, while Ziyuan looked at me sadly as if being wronged. Both of us felt a little uncomfortable, but neither of us avoided each other’s gazes. I knew she wanted to soften my heart and make me help her. She liked to use this method against me the most since she was a child.

We knew each other too well. After Ziyuan knew that she couldn’t change my mind, she sighed and smiled, “If I’m the Third Lady, do I need to come to Fengchang to work as an assistant?”

Liusu and Mo Fei were silent. They looked at each other and frowned. Indeed, this was the most confusing part. If she was really the Third Lady, would she really come to Fengchang to work as a lowly assistant? It was very unlikely.

However, it was exactly because it was very unlikely, that assumption in my mind became very likely.
