The moment Xue Manman walked in, she saw Zhang Jiasen kissing Miao Miaomiao on the forehead. Her face immediately went pale. It felt like blades were tearing her heart apart a she stared at Zhang Jiasen blankly.

  When Zhang Jiasen saw Xue Manman rush into the office rashly with such a pained expression, he became irritated. Was she purposefully trying to increase Miao Miaomiao’s suspicions? He’d soon be able to sit on the seat of the CEO, he couldn’t allow anything to go wrong.

  Zhang Jiasen was very displeased with Xue Manman’s behavior. He felt that she didn’t really have a clear sense of the situation anymore.

  When Ning Shu turned around and saw Xue Manman’s betrayed expression, she felt like her awkwardness cancer was about to flare up.

  Could she please be a little less obvious? She was being so obvious that it was hard to even feign not seeing this.

  Ning Shu’s gaze settled on Xue Manman’s earlobe. She was wearing a pair of very exquisite earrings that had tiny little diamonds inlaid. The earrings sparkled with gentle light as Xue Manman moved.

  “Secretary Xue’s earrings are quite nice. It’s Tiffany’s latest, right?” asked Ning Shu with a smile. Her gaze then shifted to Xue Manman’s feet. “And these shoes are Ferragamo. Secretary Xue must come from a very good family. Why did you decide to become a secretary?”


  Xue Manman touched her earring in a fluster, then she saw the cold expression on Zhang Jiasen’s face. She knew that Zhang Jiasen was angry, so she hastily said, “These aren’t real. They’re counterfeits.”


  Ning Shu smiled faintly without speaking. Did they think she couldn’t differentiate between what was real and what was not?

  “They’re real, so why say that they’re counterfeits?” Ning Shu slowly walked to Xue Manman, causing Xue Manman to back away in a fluster.

  Ning Shu covered her mouth and laughed. Xue Manman was acting like she would do something to her.

  “Secretary Xue, you seem really scared of me?” She was being this timid.

  “N…… No,” stammered Xue Manman as she looked towards Zhang Jiasen for help.

  Zhang Jiasen waved Xue Manman off to have her hurry and leave, but Ning Shu then said, “Your secretary’s definitely here to talk to you about something, so I’ll leave first.”


  “Alright. Be careful on the way back,” said Zhang Jiasen gently towards Ning Shu. As Xue Manman watched from the side, she bit her lips so hard they were about to bleed.

  The moment Ning Shu stepped out the door, the gentleness on Zhang Jiasen’s face immediately disappeared. He looked towards Xue Manman coldly, “In the future, don’t wear these things when you’re at the company. Miao Miaomiao is the daughter of a rich family. She’s familiar with all these brands. I don’t want any issues to arise in such an important moment. At the very least, I don’t want Miao Miaomiao to find out about our relationship before I become the CEO.”


  Xue Manman pressed her lips together with a hurt expression. “I can’t help but be hurt whenever I see you treating Miao Miaomiao so well. Could it be that you’ve really fallen in love with Miao Miaomiao and wanted to be together with her for real now?”


  When Zhang Jiasen heard what Xue Manman said, he was taken aback for a moment. In all honesty, Miao Miaomiao was a naive and kind girl. She had never lacked anything and was someone that had grown up soaked in honey.
