“Miss Su, you’re nothing more than a pawn in Qilan’s hand. Once your usefulness ends, your time will be up too. Su Hongxing, if you had nothing to do with Qilan, I think, 1 might have liked your personality.” Du Qingyu said coldly.

Unfortunately, she could not bring herself to like any woman who had been involved with Ye Qilan, especially the Su Hongxing before her.

Su Hongxing nodded knowingly, “When I’m out, there will be new people to replace me. As Qilan’s stepmother, Manager Du will then have to worry about Qilan’s women again. Congratulations to Manager Du for having such a busy and fulfilling life because of Qilan.”

Noticing Du Qingyu’s slightly changing expression, Su Hongxing kindly reminded her, “Manager Du, a beauty like you should smile more. If Qilan sees your current face, I’m afraid he won’t be pleased.”

Finishing her words, she politely closed the office door, shielding Du Qingyu’s slightly twisted face. n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

Once Su Hongxing left, Du Qingyu was so angry that she knocked all the files on her desk to the floor.

It took her a long time to calm her emotions and pick up the scattered files. After adjusting her appearance and ensuring her makeup was flawless, she stepped out of the office gracefully.

As she passed Su Hongxing’s desk, she deliberately slowed down, “Xiaowang, I’m going to report to President Ye. If anyone’s looking for me, have them wait.”

She made a point of looking at Su Hongxing as she spoke.

Su Hongxing focused on her proposal, ignoring Du Qingyu’s deliberate provocation.

Du Qingyu let out a cold laugh and walked away leisurely.

As soon as she left, the office instantly became bustling. Xiaowang, who had a loud voice, exclaimed, “I heard Manager Du is quite influential and has a close relationship with President Ye. Today I even heard Manager Du calling President Ye by his first name—it was quite affectionate.”

“Is Manager Du also a mistress supported by President Ye?” another female staff asked with a gossiping tone.

Being engrossed in their gossips, Su Hongxing didn’t pay attention. A few minutes later, she received an internal call from the secretary. Du Qingyu had left a file and wanted her to bring it over.

Su Hongxing was speechless. They say that a woman’s jealousy is terrible, but this woman Du Qingyu was exceptionally exaggerated.

In her pursuit of Ye Qilan, not only did she marry his father, she even moved from another city to Taicheng and followed into Ye Qilan’s company.

She was suddenly asked to deliver some files upstairs, clearly, Du Qingyu wanted to perform some drama for her.

What she didn’t understand was why Du Qingyu picked a fight with her. Ye Qilan had so many women; Du Qingyu should be picking on Yan Zi or Mo Qiu instead.

Upon arrival, Su Hongxing found the office door half-open. Standing at the door, she could see Ye Qilan squatting in front of the couch, massaging Du Qingyu’s ankle.

And Du Qingyu was looking at Ye Qilan with eyes full of love.

This scene was rather pleasing to the eye.

Su Hongxing knocked on the door, and Ye Qilan seemed surprised to see her, “Hongxing, why are you here?”

Su Hongxing placed the file on his desk, “Manager Du left this proposal behind. I brought it up.”

She looked around at the office environment. Most of the furniture was white, as were the curtains. The decoration style resembled the master bedroom in Ye Qilan’s villa—simple and straightforward.

Ye Qilan raised an eyebrow, “So, you’re in the planning department too. How about this—you transfer over and become my secretary..”
