Chapter 102 An Unusual Concern

Zhao Mobai smiled and said nothing more.

After breakfast, he left with arrangements made for the entire studio to be relocated to the Zhao Group building today.

Shen Shuangmiao composed herself and immediately rushed over to help the staff move things.

The new studio is located on the top floor of the Zhao Group building, with a wide view and complete facilities, making it much more impressive than her previous place.

The employees all seemed very excited and full of energy.

"Boss, this place is amazing!"

"I heard that this floor was originally reserved for Mr. Zhao's private use, but now it's been directly allocated to us!"

"Mr. Zhao really has nothing but praise for you."

Listening to her subordinates' chatter, Shen Shuangmiao simply smiled faintly and did not respond.

She directed everyone to set up their belongings and familiarize themselves with the new environment.

During a break from her busy schedule, Shen Shuangmiao thought of going downstairs to the coffee and tea room to get herself a drink, when she overheard several employees of the Zhao Group talking quietly nearby.

"Have you heard? Something terrible has happened to the Zhu family!"

"Is this a project that's competing with our CEO Zhao? I've heard that their core design and final quote seem to have been leaked."

"That's right, it's our CEO Zhao who's amazing! I heard that one of their key executives is one of ours, and crucial information was delivered to CEO Zhao's desk last night."

"The Zhu family is finished now. They've invested so much, and all their core secrets have been exposed. What do they have left to compete with us? We're going to win this time!"

"Tsk tsk, a project worth tens of billions, Zhu Jin is probably going to lose half of his assets this time..."

Shen Shuangmiao was mentally prepared for this result, but hearing it with her own ears still made her heart sink.

Core secrets and pricing details have been revealed.

This kind of thing is impossible to detect if you take even a little precaution.

Zhu Jin was caught completely off guard and could only watch helplessly as he walked towards his doom.

Shen Shuangmiao was absent-minded and subconsciously reached out to hold the table next to her.

But in her distraction, her fingers accidentally touched the water glass on the corner of the table.

The water glass tilted suddenly and hit her left hand fingers, which she couldn't retract in time.

"ah!"

Shen Shuangmiao suddenly felt a piercing pain coming from her fingertips.

She abruptly pulled her hand back, and the nails of her left index and middle fingers instantly turned bluish-purple, with the knuckles also breaking and bleeding.

"Wow!"

Are you alright?!

The Zhao family members around were startled and quickly gathered around.

"fine……"

Shen Shuangmiao was in so much pain that her forehead was covered in sweat and her face was pale, but she still forced herself to shake her head.

Someone recognized her and quickly relayed the news to Zhao Mobai.

Just a few minutes later, the president's private elevator opened with a ding.

Zhao Mobai hurriedly walked out, his usual lazy smile gone, replaced by tension and gloom.

He pushed through the crowd and immediately spotted Shen Shuangmiao's injured hand.

Zhao Mobai's brows furrowed instantly, and the atmosphere around him seemed to drop.

"What happened?"

His voice carried a barely perceptible hint of hostility, and his sharp gaze swept over the surrounding staff.

The few Zhao employees who had been gossiping just moments before were now too frightened to even breathe, remaining completely silent.

"I bumped into it by accident."

Despite the pain, Shen Shuangmiao explained in a low voice.

Zhao Mobai did not ask any further questions.

He took out his phone, dialed a number, and spoke in a tone that left no room for argument.

"Have the medical team bring their supplies to my office immediately, within five minutes."

After hanging up the phone, Zhao Mobai grabbed Shen Shuangmiao's uninjured right hand without saying a word.

His tone carried an undeniable forcefulness.

"Go sit down first."

Zhao Mobai personally helped Shen Shuangmiao through a group of dumbfounded employees into the elevator.

The employees of the Zhao Group looked at each other, their eyes filled with disbelief.

In their eyes, Zhao Mobai had always been a carefree and playful person, and had never been so nervous and out of control for a woman.

For Shen Shuangmiao's sake, he directly mobilized a private medical team of experts.

It seems that this woman holds a much heavier place in Mr. Zhao's heart than they imagined.

...

In the office, Shen Shuangmiao was pressed down into a leather chair by Zhao Mobai.

"Don't move, let me see."

Zhao Mobai held her fingers and squatted down to examine them carefully.

Shen Shuangmiao sat obediently, watching him make such a fuss over her minor injury, and a strong sense of unease welled up inside her.

That's too much.

Zhao Mobai's concern seemed particularly genuine, making her feel somewhat at a loss.

soon.

A professional medical team rushed to the scene with their medicine kits.

After a careful examination, the doctor confirmed that it was just a soft tissue contusion.

"Don't worry, Mr. Zhao. Just bandage it up, follow the doctor's instructions, and apply the medicine properly, and you'll be fine."

Zhao Mobai nodded slightly and breathed a sigh of relief.

As the doctor disinfected and applied medicine to Shen Shuangmiao, he stood by her side, his lips pressed tightly together, his gaze never leaving Shen Shuangmiao's fingers.

The doctors present sensed his care for Shen Shuangmiao and became even more cautious in their movements.

After the bandaging was completed, the doctor gave some instructions and then tactfully withdrew.

Only the two of them remained in the office.

Zhao Mobai stepped forward, picked up the ointment on the table, and spoke in a tone that left no room for argument.

"Give me your hand."

"I can do it myself..."

Shen Shuangmiao instinctively wanted to refuse.

Zhao Mobai gently lifted her injured wrist, as if he hadn't heard what she said.

He moved carefully, head down, applying medicine to her swollen knuckles and broken skin.

My fingertips were warm, occasionally touching her intact skin.

As Shen Shuangmiao looked at the man's lowered profile, that strange feeling welled up in her heart again.

No, I can't think about it anymore.

Zhao Mobai would never have any genuine feelings for her.

Shen Shuangmiao abruptly cut off this dangerous thought.

The relationship between her and him can only be a transaction, and it can only be a transaction; they cannot get entangled in any more complicated matters.

Shen Shuangmiao took a deep breath and, while Zhao Mobai was applying the medicine and packing up the medicine box, raised her head.

She looked at him calmly and asked the question that had been lingering in her mind since earlier.

"Is it true that Zhu Jin's core secrets were leaked and the project was lost?"

The moment Shen Shuangmiao asked her question, the air in the office seemed to freeze for a moment.

Zhao Mobai paused slightly as he packed his medicine box.

He raised his eyes, his gaze, filled with a lazy smile, as he looked at Shen Shuangmiao, a faint, ambiguous smile slowly curving his lips.

"oh?"

Why is my fiancée so concerned about her ex-husband's project progress?

He put down his medicine box, moved closer to Shen Shuangmiao, and scrutinized her face with his gaze.

"Should I be jealous?"

Zhao Mobai was very close, and Shen Shuangmiao subconsciously wanted to back away.

She met his gaze, trying to sound as nonchalant as possible.

You're overthinking it.

"I was just asking casually. After all, it's hard not to hear about the progress of such a big project."

Zhao Mobai stared at Shen Shuangmiao for a few seconds, seemingly trying to find even the slightest flaw in her face.
