Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Bai Yu looked at Bai Wanwan. “Director Bai, I didn’t let you down this time, did I?”

Bai Wanwan was annoyed. She finally understood what it felt like to shoot herself in the foot. She assumed that Fu Xiangchen and Fu Yunzhe had a grudge against each other, so Fu Xiangchen would have a bad impression of Bai Yu too. That was why she deliberately brought Bai Yu along.

She was waiting for the moment Bai Yu would anger Fu Xiangchen, so she could turn the tide later, and leave Fu Xiangchen a good impression of her. But alas, Fu Xiangchen only paid attention to Bai Yu and treated Bai Wanwan like air. This caused Bai Wanwan, who was used to being the center of attention everywhere, to feel shame.

Bai Yu acted as if she didn’t notice the turbulence of emotion in Bai Wanwan’s eyes. She asked casually, “By the way, Director Bai, if I can complete this project, can the company consider making me a full-time employee?”

Bai Wanwan scoffed on the inside, but on the surface, she promised, “I will discuss this with Qiran.”

Bai Yu nodded. “By then, you best not use my young age and inability to handle heavy responsibilities as an excuse anymore.”

Bai Wanwan’s expression faltered. “Who told you this? Was it Qiran?”

Bai Yu laughed silently. Bai Wanwan would even suspect a man who loved her so much. Her life must be really exhausting.

However, Shen Qiran was a good person, so Bai Yu didn’t want him to take the blame. “It wasn’t President Shen. I just overheard by accident.”

‘As long as it wasn’t Qiran…’ Bai Wanwan thought. She would never allow the man of her interest to be beyond her control. Bai Wanwan calmed down and said, “Xiao Yu, let me explain…”

Bai Yu looked at her like she was a stranger. “You mean ‘make an excuse’, right? I don’t understand why you’re suppressing me when you’ve always been better than me all our lives. You can’t stand to see me do well, can you? Sister?”

Calling her ‘Sister’ now felt like a great insult to Bai Wanwan.

In the evening, Bai Yu returned to Fu Manor with two shopping bags in hand. She was just about to ring the doorbell when she suddenly heard a sound behind her. She turned around to see Fu Xiangchen getting out of his car and walking towards her.

Bai Yu said politely, “Second Young Master Fu, you’re home from work too.”

After a few interactions, Fu Xiangchen had left a good impression on her, so Bai Yu wasn’t as afraid of him as she was in the beginning.

Fu Xiangchen looked at her shopping bags and asked with a smile, “That’s a lot of food. These are for Big Brother, right?”

Bai Yu admitted, “Yes, I wanted to buy more in one go and store it in the fridge, so I don’t have to stop by the supermarket every day.” The main reason was that she was in such a good mood today after seeing Bai Wanwan suffer that she accidentally bought a lot.

Fu Xiangchen suddenly sighed. “I really envy Big Brother.”

Bai Yu looked at him, confused.

Then, Fu Xiangchen teased, “I heard that Big Brother made you cry last night, but you’re still willing to cook for him. Not every man is as fortunate.”

Bai Yu replied politely, “That’s not true. I only quarreled with your brother last night and I didn’t cry. Don’t believe in rumors started by certain people.”

Fu Xiangchen’s smile faded slightly, but he quickly regained his composure. There was no rush. He had plenty of time to educate his sister-in-law.

The two returned to their rooms when Bai Yu suddenly thought of something. “Oh right, Second Young Master Fu, thank you for handing such an important job to me even after learning that I’m only a department assistant. I’ll surely do my best to help you and Ms. Lan organize this engagement ceremony.”

When Fu Xiangchen saw the gratitude in her expression, his smile deepened. “Qingyu and I have given you a month’s time to prepare, so don’t put too much pressure on yourself. If things get too tough, with so many talented people in your company, I’m sure they will cooperate with you to complete the event.”

Bai Yu’s impression of Fu Xiangchen further improved now. It was a pity that Fu Yunzhe didn’t like him. Otherwise, she could have invited him to dinner.

On the second floor.

Fu Yunzhe heard how cheerful Bai Yu sounded the moment she entered the room, so he asked, “Did you win the lottery?”

Bai Yu answered, “No.”

Speaking of which, this was really strange. Fu Yunzhe had long lost interest in another person’s affairs but he could always make an exception for Bai Yu. “Then tell me what you’re happy about.”

Bai Yu stuck out her tongue and thought to herself, was it that obvious that she was happy? However… “I better not. You might get angry.”

Fu Yunzhe put on a straight face. “I’ll be angry if you don’t tell me.”

Bai Yu thought for a moment. This matter would be known sooner or later. Besides, Fu Xiangchen and his girlfriend’s engagement probably had nothing to do with Fu Yunzhe, right?

And so, Bai Yu said, “Actually, Fu Xiangchen and his girlfriend are getting engaged in a month’s time..”
