Chapter 283 - Why Do Women Have So Many Secrets?
Mo Fei stared into my eyes with her watery eyes, her calm expression made me wonder what she was thinking. After a while, I heard her gently ask, “you are leaving… it is for my sake?”
I couldn’t help but be dazed. Although this was one of the reasons why I wanted to leave, the way Mo Fei asked me was very ambiguous. It made me unable to answer her for a while.
“Part of it.” I chose the most appropriate answer and said.
“How many parts are there?” Mo Fei didn’t want to let me answer it vaguely, “two parts or three parts?”
Mo Fei was a smart woman, I admired her intelligence, but I didn’t like it, “it is for the sake of you, me, and Liusu.”
“You’re afraid that Cheng Liusu won’t be able to win, right? You said that it is part of it, but it is actually the main reason, right?” Mo Fei suddenly smiled triumphantly, “Chu Nan, do you remember what I said when I left Crouching Dragon Mountain Resort that day? You won’t be able to fool me, you like me, that’s why you are afraid to stay in Fengchang and continue to work along with me, because you are afraid that you will… fall in love with me.”
I didn’t like Mo Fei’s confidence at the moment. It was a kind of humiliation to me. A kind of humiliation that she could see through everything that was in my mind. Yes, I was afraid of falling in love with her, because no one could resist their dream lover. Let alone the dream lovers that took the initiative to throw themselves at them.
The question of whether I was a womanizer or not was no longer important. The important thing was that this love triangle had already formed, and I needed to find a way to break out from this love triangle. I clenched my fists, afraid that the cold sweat on the palm of my hand would be seen by Mo Fei, “you said something similar when you went to my house last time. Mo Fei, I admit that you are a good woman, a woman who is attractive to any man, but don’t you think that you feel too good about yourself?” I sneered and said.
“I don’t care if I am attractive to other people, and how other people evaluate me? As long as it can attract you, it’s enough.” Mo Fei leaned forward with her hands behind her back. She raised her head and looked at me with a slight smile. The current situation suddenly reminded me of a girl in high school. At that time, the girl, who was usually very shy in front of other people, which was exactly like Mo Fei, actually boldly teased me for the first time. The feeling of nervousness and shyness they gave to me were very similar. However, Mo Fei seemed to like the feeling brought by teasing me a lot. She actually asked me with a smile, “you told other people that you liked me. And those who knew about it told me about it already. So Chu Nan, you tell me, am I feeling too good about myself?”
My heart trembled suddenly, and I subconsciously asked, “Who told you that?!”
There were not many people who knew I had a crush on Mo Fei, and most of them were from the general operation team… Was it Yang Wei? No. Even though he looked the least reliable, when it was about this kind of thing, he would be even more tight-lipped than Elder Sister Liu and Elder Brother Gao. So the only person who would tell Mo Fei about this would be…
Song Jia’s face immediately popped out in my mind… It was definitely her! No wonder she was not around when I came in. Could it be that she knew that she had accidentally exposed my secret, so she deliberately avoided me?
“So, you admit it”
“Admit what?” That was close. I almost fell into Mo Fei’s trap.
Mo Fei giggled and said, “Chu Nan, you are so cute when you lie.”
My face flushed and I snorted. But I didn’t say anything to refute her. This woman was so cunning. She actually tried to trick me into telling her.
“Okay, I won’t tease you anymore,” Mo Fei stopped the mischievous smile, pushed me a little, and took the initiative to open the door. She walked straight to her desk and picked up the resignation letter I placed on the table. When she turned her head again, she had returned to her usual seriousness, but her face had a faint of unnatural redness, “I promised you that I won’t lie to you again, so I’ll definitely keep my words. However, Chu Nan, I only said that if you insist on resigning, I will not force you, but I never said that if you resign, I will no longer like you. I know that whoever you choose to like, it is none of my business, but it is also none of your business whoever I choose to like. I just want to let you know that even if you leave Fengchang, I still won’t give up. This is my determination.”
I was surprised and delighted. To my delight, Mo Fei agreed to my resignation. To my surprise, she was still so attached to me. Then I saw Mo Fei smile suddenly. It was like flowers were in full bloom, and the spring breeze was blowing across me. She rolled her eyes at me charmingly and then said in a satisfied manner, “If you chose to stay and abandoned Liusu just because I beg you, then it would only make me question if you are really a reliable man. And would you abandon me for other women in the future? Haha, Chu Nan, you really are a good man, but don’t blame me, it’s your own choice that makes me even more unable to give up on you. Besides my uncle, you are the only man who can give me a sense of security.”
It was not that Mo Fei had tricked me, but that men never understood women’s hearts. I had already given up blaming myself for being so stupid. I just wanted to disappear from this woman who was so attached to me quickly. I felt that if I stayed here longer, I would definitely fall into this woman’s honey trap. I didn’t know if I could give Mo Fei a sense of security, but I didn’t feel safe staying around this woman.
“Did you approve my resignation?”
Mo Fei once again walked to me. She shook her head apologetically, “I’m sorry, I don’t have that authority anymore…”
I was confused, and then honestly showed a faint of anger on my face, “What do you mean?” Was she playing with me?
“Don’t get me wrong, it’s just that my uncle wants to see you,” Mo Fei explained in a panic when she saw that there was a faint of angry expression on my face, “He kept asking me when you would return to the company the last two day. After knowing that you would come back today, he immediately asked me to get your files from HR and send them to him. He said it was urgent. Song Jia was on sick leave today, so I asked Yao Wan’er to do it…”
Mo Yizhi did tell me before that he hoped that I would meet him when I returned to Fengchang. He said that he had something to say to me, but was it necessary for him to take away my files? Was he worried that I would run away without meeting him?
“He didn’t say why he wanted my files?”
Mo Fei said with a blushing face, “What else do you think? He is scared that I won’t let you go… I didn’t ask him, but you can ask him yourself.”
Sure enough, Mo Fei also felt that Mo Yizhi was afraid that I would not be able to leave the company…
Mo Fei handed the resignation letter back to me and said softly, “We both know what my uncle is thinking. So I didn’t want to argue with him and just let him deal with this issue. Chu Nan, you understand why I am doing this, right?”
She let him deal with this issue? When I realized it suddenly, I couldn’t help but frown, “you want me to…”
“Chu Nan, I know you are a good person, but you are not a gentleman. My uncle has indeed underestimated you. So you should take this opportunity and teach him a lesson. You could extort money from Zhang Mingjie, so you can do the same thing to my uncle. Anyway, you have decided to resign. If he wants to buy you with money and hopes that you leave Fengchang, you can just accept the money. You have saved my life, so just take it as his gratitude to you. In his eyes, I am priceless.” Mo Fei’s mischievous expression couldn’t conceal the faint sadness in her eyes. In fact, she still cared about my insistence on resigning, right?
No wonder she deliberately didn’t ask Mo Yizhi why he wanted to take my files. It turned out that she had already guessed his intentions.
I couldn’t help but say, “You know he loves you, but you want me to extort money from him?”
“You can’t work for someone for the rest of your life, right? If you need to start your own business, you need to have a starting fund, so you can also consider this as his investment in your future.” Mo Fei was originally serious. But when she finished that, she suddenly made a joke that made me break out in a cold sweat, “If you don’t work hard to make money, how are you going to feed me in the future?”
I was speechless. She was actually thinking about marrying me… Hearing this, I could only chuckle awkwardly to avoid answering her question. Then I suddenly thought of one thing and asked curiously, “How does the chairman know that I will return to the company today?”
“I told him,” Mo Fei said, “Uncle told me that once you come to the company, I need to immediately notify him…”
Before Mo Fei finished speaking, I became more curious and said, “then how do you know I will come back today?”
Mo Fei was dazed. A trace of panic appeared in her eyes, but she quickly covered it with a smile and said, “It’s a secret. Unless you stay in the company, otherwise I won’t tell you.”
This woman… Although I really wanted to know the answer, it was not enough to ruin the future happiness of the three people. I smiled and shook my head, turned to open the door, and answered Mo Fei with my actions.
Mo Fei didn’t say anything to keep me, but this made me feel very uncomfortable. When I went out, and when I saw that Song Jia’s desk was still empty, I thought for a while and then asked, “You just said that someone told you I like you. Who is that person?”
Mo Fei still smiled, winked her beautiful eyes at me, and said mischievously, “It’s still a secret…”
Why did women have so many secrets? To be precise, why did they want to keep so many secrets from men…
