C11 The Best Way to Attack a Love Rival
Compared to Mu Chuchen, Shaang Dongyan appeared more accomplished. After graduating from college, she joined her family's company for training and now served as her father's secretary.
She was more knowledgeable than Mu Chuchen. During their recent exchange, Shaang Dongyan initially felt that Mu Chuchen had the upper hand, but now she believed she was the victor.
Mu Chuchen was nothing more than a pretty face, lacking any real substance—a mere decorative vase, utterly unworthy of a man as exceptional as Ye Junhao.
Ye Junhao didn't have to lift a finger or say a word; his mere presence was enough to leave Shaang Dongyan utterly smitten. She was deeply in love with the enigmatic Ye Junhao.
All eyes were on Mu Chuchen.
"Did Miss Shang hear me say something boring?"
Mu Chuchen retorted when Shaang Dongyan was at a loss for words, she continued, "Since Miss Shang didn't hear me say it was boring, then I'm not bored."
She wrapped her arm around Ye Junhao's, noticing his body tense up—probably unaccustomed to her repeatedly taking the initiative to cling to him.
Thankfully, he didn't pull away.
Otherwise, she would have been mortified beyond belief.
"Jun Hao, once you're done discussing business with President Shang, would you join me for a stroll? I'd like to pick out some new clothes for you."
Ye Junhao's gaze was inscrutable, and even Mu Chuchen, who had lived two lifetimes, couldn't decipher his thoughts.
He didn't respond directly, simply giving her nose a gentle pinch—an affectionate gesture that didn't go unnoticed by onlookers.
Mu Chuchen saw Shaang Dongyan's complexion darken, her makeup failing to hide her displeasure.
Strike the snake at its vital point. Shaang Dongyan adored Ye Junhao, but Mu Chuchen didn't need to confront her directly. Merely showering Ye Junhao with affection in front of Shaang Dongyan was enough to best her.
After pinching Mu Chuchen's nose, Ye Junhao withdrew his hand and apologized to Director Shang, "Director Shang, my apologies for the display."
Director Shang chuckled, "No worries. They're young, after all. I was young once too, and I understand Director Ye."
"Let's continue," Ye Junhao said, shooting Mu Chuchen a covert warning glance. She should hold off on any mischief until after he had concluded his business dealings.
Mu Chuchen pouted, feeling wronged. She wasn't the one looking to stir up trouble; it was his admirers who were targeting her.
Perhaps Ye Junhao's doting affection for Mu Chuchen had struck a nerve with Shaang Dongyan. After that, Shaang Dongyan stopped going after Mu Chuchen and didn't even spare her another glance.
When it came to business, Mu Chuchen had no place to chime in. Shaang Dongyan was determined to showcase her superior skills, hoping to impress Ye Junhao, who was deeply committed to his career.
Ye Junhao's itinerary was meticulously planned. After finalizing a partnership with Director Shang, he left Ming Yu to dine with Director Shang's parents, while he departed with his wife and child.
Shaang Dongyan's gaze lingered on Ye Junhao, filled with reluctance, until he was out of sight.
With Ye Junhao gone, his daughter seemed lost and forlorn, prompting Director Shang to let out another sigh.
"Secretary Ming," Director Shang began, probing cautiously, "Do Director Ye and his wife have a strong relationship?"
Ming Yu responded with a smile, "Director Shang, my role is to support my boss's professional endeavors. His personal life is beyond my purview. I apologize, but I'm unable to address that question."
It was common knowledge in Jin City that the boss's marriage was far from happy.
But such words would never come from Ming Yu.
Director Shang offered an apologetic smile, "My apologies for the intrusion."
Unfazed, Ming Yu maintained his cheerful demeanor, "No worries."
Shaang Dongyan was skeptical about the state of Ye Junhao and Mu Chuchen's relationship. She could tell that Mu Chuchen was the one making efforts, while Ye Junhao remained passive.
Yet, Ye Junhao had not rejected Mu Chuchen.
This uncertainty left Shaang Dongyan puzzled.
