Also known as: After Breaking Up, My Rival is Bound to the Virtuous Husband System.
As a game engineer, the female lead, Pei Wu, was questioned by players for never having been in love. So, s...
Shen Yu'nan sat down in the VIP reception room and pondered for a moment.
Thinking back to the last time I met this young master of the Zhou family, it was when I was plotting to leave Diana. All that happened that day now seems like a lifetime ago. The person who plotted to leave Pei Wu back then is here today to deal with the swarms of suitors surrounding that woman.
"Please enjoy." The staff quickly brought over the prepared tea and delicate snacks.
"Thanks. "
"Mr. Ye, you're too kind." As he left, the staff member asked again, "Would you like us to close the door behind you?"
Shen Yunan shook his head and went to get some water from the coffee table to moisten his throat.
The weather always stays hot for a while after autumn arrives. Just like today, the temperature outside feels like midsummer. The high sun is baking the earth, making it extremely hot.
As she put down her cup, Shen Yu'nan's gaze fell on the ring on her finger. Her delicate eyebrows were slightly lowered, and her superior eyelids opened and closed a few times before she reached out to turn the ring on her finger.
'Ye Shaosang is indeed now the legal partner of Miss Pei.'
Thinking of this, Shen Yu Nan paused for a moment, then reached out and covered his face.
Soon, Bai Ni rushed over, carrying her laptop. "I'm sorry to have kept Mr. Ye waiting."
Shen Yu'nan raised her eyelids to look at him, remaining silent and watching him coldly as he fiddled with his computer.
When Bai Ni retrieved the data, the entire VIP lounge was completely silent; the only sound was the click of Bai Ni's mouse.
The silence sent a shiver down Bai Ni's spine. She paused slightly, glancing up at the silent Shen Yu'nan sitting opposite her, and asked with a smile.
"I wonder if Mr. Ye has come today with any new ideas for the design? I will adjust the design based on your feedback."
"..." Shen Yu Nan remained silent, staring intently at Bai Ni, without even opening his mouth to answer her. His hand, adorned with a ring, was resting on his crossed legs, his fingertips tapping lightly.
Looking at the other person's expression, Bai Ni felt the air pressure around him drop even lower. His heart tightened, and his forced smile became even more pronounced.
"Is my design not to your liking?"
Shen Yu Nan shook his head before slowly opening his mouth and said, "It's you who makes it hard for me to be satisfied."
"..." Bai Ni's eyes darted away, but she still smiled ingratiatingly and said, "I don't quite understand what you mean, Mr. Ye."
"No." Shen Yu'nan snorted coldly and slowly closed the distance between them. "I think you understand what I mean."
At this moment, Shen Yu Nan, though smiling and still looking like a young and inexperienced boy, exuded a sense of oppression that made Bai Ni's heart tremble.
Bai Ni looked back into Shen Yu Nan's eyes, still stubbornly saying, "I don't understand what Mr. Ye means."
After scoffing, Shen Yu'nan continued, "After today, I don't want to see you in this Diana building again."
Upon hearing Shen Yu Nan's words, Bai Ni almost blurted out, "...I want to see Miss Pei. My fate is not something Mr. Ye can decide. Mr. Ye, you should know that I have been working for Miss Pei for six years. Where were you six years ago? Even if you are Miss Pei's partner, as her new son-in-law, do you have the right to question Diana and decide the fate of your employees?"
"Look at him, he clearly understands what I'm saying in every single word, yet he keeps saying, 'I don't understand what you mean, Mr. Ye.'"
Shen Yu Nan reached out and pinched Bai Ni's chin. Bai Ni subconsciously tried to dodge Shen Yu Nan's action, but Shen Yu Nan's hand held her chin firmly as they stared at each other. Shen Yu Nan merely lowered his eyelids and glanced at Bai Ni's appearance with disdain. "Unfortunately, after six years you still haven't gotten what you wanted. It's just that you weren't born with a face she would like."
"..." Bai Ni didn't know where the man in front of her got such strength. He was restrained by her and couldn't move at all. She felt like the bones in her jaw were about to be crushed by his fingers.
"So all that pitiful, submissive look of yours was just an act."
A faint sneer appeared on Shen Yu'nan's lips. "Designer Bai has worked at Diana for so many years. At her age, it's really inappropriate to still believe in judging people by their appearance."
"you..."
At such close range, Bai Ni got a clear look at Ye Shaosang's appearance for the first time. The man, wearing only a white long-sleeved T-shirt, had a youthful look. His black hair was fluffy, and his bangs were quite long, slightly obscuring his eyebrows and eyes. His skin was so delicate that not a single pore or fine hair could be seen. His straight nose and exquisite nose looked like a carefully sculpted work of art, and even his lips were a healthy rosy red.
Even now, when speaking to him, he has a faint smile on his face, which brings out the eye bags under his eyes because of the smile, but the smile does not penetrate into his eyes at all; his eyes are calm and still.
But his eyes were indeed excessively beautiful.
Those beautiful eyes glanced at the VIP door that wasn't closed.
"Designer Bai, you can raise your voice. Using dirty tricks to seduce married women, getting confronted by their partners, and even willing to become their mistress—what will the public opinion be like about this? Especially for men... I'm afraid you'll become a man despised by everyone. Forget about finding a good woman to marry; I'm afraid everyone will avoid you. It'll be impossible for you to have such a respectable job again. You'd better resign voluntarily. If I have to take action, your fate will be terrible."
Shen Yu'nan had essentially given Bai Ni an ultimatum, and he didn't want to waste any more words with her.
"Now that I've said this, I hope we won't meet again in the future."
After finishing speaking, Shen Yu'nan prepared to get up and leave, but bumped into the young master of the Zhou family in the store lobby.
Shen Yu Nan quickly looked away, his gaze never lingering on Zhou He Dong. It was his secretary, Shen Yu Nan, who knew the young master of the Zhou family, and Pei Wu's new partner, Ye Shao Sang, should not know him.
When Zhou Hedong saw Shen Yu'nan again, he unexpectedly raised his eyebrows and then asked a question to the staff member next to him in a low voice.
"That's Mr. Ye Shaosang, President Pei's soon-to-be-married partner, not Secretary Shen Yunan," the staff member answered truthfully.
"..." Upon hearing this, Zhou Hedong raised his eyebrows even higher, and even slightly lifted his chin.
He had no idea that Pei Wu had found a new love, and that they were even discussing marriage, which shows just how tight-lipped the Pei family was.
