Secretary Li concluded based on what Chu Wuyou said earlier. It was worth mentioning that he had grasped the “quintessence” of her words.

  The woman was startled as she did not expect him to say that. She silently praised him internally but also said a quick prayer for the man. After all, he had just called his boss a cruel, abusive, petty person right in front of the man’s face! How bold was that!!!

  Ye Lanchen lifted his gaze slowly to look at his secretary. The seemingly nonchalant glance felt so calm as if it carried no emotion.

  In spite of that, Secretary Li felt as if he had been thrown into a thousand-year-old ice sheet. He felt himself freezing from head to toe, even the temperature of the blood running beneath his skin dropped drastically.

  “Therefore, President, you should let Assistant Chu return to her room.” He finished his sentence eventually.

  It was not that the man was courageous and feared nothing, but he was too terrified at the moment, so terrified that his brain stopped functioning. He blurted these words subconsciously.

  She suddenly felt like bursting out into laughter. However, it would be horrible of her to do so to the man who “risked his life” to help her out. Besides, she would have given the pretense away if she started laughing now.

  Secretary Li was a particularly stubborn and indomitable man with a strong sense of justice. That was the exact impression she had of him when they first met.

  Ye Lanchen shifted his gaze toward the woman. He realized his intention upon seeing the expression on her face.

  She intentionally wanted Secretary Li to come to her rescue.

  The man had a fair sense of justice.

  He did not leave earlier and he surely would not leave now after seeing the “terrified” and “frightened” woman.

  He probably would not leave until this was sorted out.

  Ye Lanchen reckoned she must have noticed the man’s personality since the beginning hence she knew she could be emboldened by his support.

  He threw a penetrating glare over at her direction. It was as sharp as the edge of a knife.

  The woman hunched back a little and leaned closer to the secretary. She appeared so terrified she dared not even take another breath.

  “President, I should send Assistant Chu to another room.” He really could not bear to see the pitiable woman suffering like this thus he risked his life for her once again.

  Chu Wuyou was slightly touched by his “sacrifice” and she swore to protect him if Ye Lanchen decided to revenge later.

  “You should get me my luggage.” The latter understood his secretary’s personality thus he was not too shocked by his response.

  “President, you would like to stay in this room? Okay, I’ll get it for you right away.” Secretary Li heaved a sigh of relief. However, he did not forget about the woman. “Then I should bring Assistant Chu over there too.”


  Indeed, Secretary Li was a just man.

  “She stays.” An enigmatic smile flashed across Ye Lanchen’s face as he cast a glance in Chu Wuyou’s direction.
