Chapter 14 Ruan Cheng Flushed Her Cheeks

  • “I really don't know who sent it,” Ruan Cheng said again.
  • She didn't want to hurt Li Ye, and she also didn't want any more taint of scandal in her life.
  • But Li Ye was burning with anger, and he said, “You really have no idea who sent it? Are you kidding me? We've only been back for less than a week, and you have got yourself another man? If there's nothing going on, who the hell will send you such a big bouquet early in the morning?”
  • Ruan Cheng couldn't stand the stare from Li Ye when he was questioning her like this.
  • She was always upright and honest, and this time, she really didn't know who sent the flowers.
  • “I'm going to work,” said Ruan Cheng in a casual tone. She turned around and threw the flowers into the garbage bin next to her. She then walked away without looking back.
  • Li Ye watched as Ruan Cheng walked across the street calmly, and instinctively, he was clenching his fist tight.
  • Ruan Cheng then disappeared into the direction of the subway station.
  • Li Ye was standing alone in the street, and he was still mad. He turned around and hit the streetlamp post with his teeth gnashed. The pain of breaking a bone couldn't even calm him down.
  • It seemed that the only way he could have a sense of security was to marry her.
  • .....
  • At the office, Ruan Cheng couldn't concentrate on anything. She thought a lot when she was taking the subway on the way to work this morning.
  • She had a culprit in mind, but it was too absurd.
  • In H City, Mu Chenjue had once called her mobile phone late at night. This showed that as the big boss, he could access information about her mobile phone number and address easily.
  • Anyway, it was always easy for the boss to get comprehensive information about his employees.
  • When Ruan Cheng was lost in her mind, her mobile phone beeped.
  • It was a WeChat message: I'm sorry that I got all worked up this morning because I'm too afraid of losing you. Don't get angry with me, okay? Can we sit down and have a good talk?
  • Li Ye sent several messages to her.
  • But Ruan Cheng didn't reply anything as she was still fuming with anger from being accused.
  • In the afternoon, Li Xiao came to her with a lunch box in the staff restaurant. She then said to Ruan Cheng, “My brother said he had angered you this morning. So I am here to put in a good word for him... Hehe.”
  • Ruan Cheng kept silent and continued to eat her lunch.
  • “Ruan Cheng, don't torture my brother, please.” Li Xiao couldn't help laughing as she continued, “Do you know how much my brother cares for you? Being jealous is also a manifestation of loving you. You really have no idea how much he adores you! He puts you before me and both our parents because you're the only apple of his eyes.”
  • Ruan Cheng thought for a while, and her anger was half subsided.
  • In fact, if a girl sent Li Ye a gift secretly and was then found out by her, she might also be out of control and get suspicious.
  • ...
  • In the afternoon, the door of the design department head's office was opened, and Ruan Cheng kept walking back and forth to refill her drinks.
  • “Who can go up and deliver something?” The head of the department asked without looking up.
  • “I'll go,” Ruan Cheng answered with her eyes lit up when she passed by his door another time.
  • Her colleagues were grateful that she volunteered because all of them were so caught up with their work. It would save them a lot of trouble if Ruan Cheng could offer her help.
  • Something had to be sent to the president's office, and Ruan Cheng was actually waiting for such an opportunity.
  • When she entered the president's office on the top floor, Ruan Cheng put the drawing down, but she was not eager to leave.
  • “What else can I do for you?” Mu Chenjue asked without raising his head, and no one could actually see his face. His slender and beautiful fingers moved around on the huge drawing which was spread out on his desk.
  • He looked very serious at work.
  • “Thank you, Mr. Mu.” Ruan Cheng hinted.
  • Her heart was beating uncontrollably when she said that.
  • Ruan Cheng, are you not afraid to die? If you suspect the wrong person, it will be so embarrassing to even change the topic now!
  • Unexpectedly, Mu Chenjue stopped moving his hand on the drawing paper and looked up at her with his domineering eyes. “Glad to know that you can identify the master who fed you. You are not as dumb as I imagined.”
  • Ruan Cheng was speechless.
  • Since when she was dumb, and what did he mean by “Master”?
  • And to use “fed you” for a human being was very strange!
  • But of course, none of the president's words mattered.
  • Ruan Cheng then asked, “I don't know why Mr. Mu is doing this.”
  • “It's not an easy job to take care of Anan and Ruanruan.” Mu Chenjue said reasonably. “I also want to apologize that I slept on your bed after I was drunk. You wouldn't have gotten sick if it wasn't for me.”
  • Ruan Cheng was stunned to hear that.
  • In H City, the time she spent together with Mu Chenjue was not more than five minutes. How did he find out that she was sick?
  • “Thank you,” Ruan Cheng said as she felt embarrassed. But to avoid other troubles, she voiced up again, “The rewards are enough. Mr. Mu shouldn't send anything else to me. It's our responsibility to share the boss's burden as an employee.”
  • Her words were distant and cold.
  • Mu Chenjue burst into a sudden laughter, and his expression was unreadable. He looked so intimidating as he raised his eyebrow and said, “You're so confident that I will send you other gifts?”
  • Ruan Cheng's cheeks flushed scarlet instantly!
  • She was just worried he would send her gifts again on a whim, and it would make it a lot harder to explain to Li Ye later.
  • “If there's nothing else, I'll go down first.” Ruan Cheng politely nodded her head and turned around quickly.
  • She wanted to run away in a hurry.
  • “Stop.” Suddenly, a man's voice called from behind.
  • Ruan Cheng halted in fear.
  • “You said that sharing burdens for your boss is what an employee should do?” Mu Chenjue's voice was flat and low, without any emotions.
  • Ruan Cheng was panicked, but still, she nodded her head.
  • Mu Chenjue pointed to several books and cartoon wrappers on the solid wood coffee table and said, “Stay back and wrap these book covers for my two children.”
  • “Wrapping book covers?” Ruan Cheng looked at him.
  • “Stay quiet when you wrap, and better don't disturb me.” Said Mu Chenjue as he furrowed his eyebrows and concentrated on his work again.
  • Ruan Cheng had no choice but to walk toward the coffee table.
  • She had not wrapped a book for a long time.
  • There were four books in total, two of which were written with Mu Ruanruan's name, and the other two were written with Mu Ancheng's name.
  • Based on her past experiences in primary and junior high school, Ruan Cheng began to cut the paper and wrapped it accordingly. But after a while, she found that she was not as skillful as before. Furthermore, she was afraid to waste any of the cartoon wrappers.
  • “I... I...” Ruan Cheng remembered the boss said not to disturb him at work, but she really had something to ask.
  • Mu Chenjue raised his head and looked at her.
  • Ruan Cheng raised to stare at Mu Chenjue's deep eyes, but she quickly lowered her head again. “I damaged one of the cartoon papers, so I guess they are not enough to wrap all the books.”
  • She spoke to him in a soft and gentle voice, and she did not dare to look at him. She was timid and afraid, and this captured Mu Chenjue's heart deeply.
  • Mu Chenjue replied in his low and hoarse voice, “It doesn't matter. I still have some more here.”
  • Does he still have the paper?
  • Ruan Cheng sighed with relief and went over to take it.
  • Without his guidance, Ruan Cheng saw a pile of cartoon papers under his desk, which was bought by Dong Liyan for Ruanruan and Anan.
  • Ruan Cheng squatted down to choose, and a SpongeBob wrapping paper caught her eyes.
  • Her nearly perfect curve was wrapped in a skirt, conservative but seductive and pure but lustful. It caught his eyes as he stood by the window. He was burning hot with desire and had become totally out of his senses.
