Thinking of Dong Cheng, I am truly unhappy, but even more so, I feel helpless.

She'd barely spoken a few words to him, so why did she develop feelings for him?

"What's wrong? Did he bully you?" Mo Jingchen sat next to An Yiruo, his brows furrowed, and said with a hint of unhappiness.

“It’s not that they’re bullying me…” An Yiruo muttered softly.

"Tell me, why did something unpleasant happen? Maybe I can help you."

As the car drove along the road, Mo Jingchen's words left An Yiruo speechless!

Tell...tell? If I tell her, this arrogant CEO will get jealous! If I don't tell her, he has his own ways of finding out the truth, and if she finds out he lied to her...the consequences will probably be even worse!

"Is it inconvenient?" Mo Jingchen moved closer to An Yiruo, startling her.

"It's convenient, what's inconvenient about it? I haven't done anything to wrong you."

"In that case, tell me."

"It's...he...confessed to me." An Yiruo's voice grew softer and softer, the word "confessed" barely audible. Her voice was so soft that even An Yiruo herself couldn't hear it.

But Mo Jingchen seemed to have super hearing, and he heard every single word.

"Confess your feelings?"

Mo Jingchen's tone carried a hint of danger.

"I swear, I really didn't know he was going to confess to me! We hadn't even spoken much before. Yuanyuan was there when we were talking. She can testify to that!" An Yiruo said in one breath, immediately clarifying her situation and distancing herself from Dong Cheng.

"Why are you in such a hurry? I haven't doubted you. Besides, your judgment... isn't that bad!"

“Yes, I have the best eye. Otherwise, how could I have met you?” An Yiruo turned to Mo Jingchen, tilting her head up and smiling at him.

"Mmm. Good girl," Mo Jingchen said, patting An Yiruo's head.

"But confessing your feelings won't make you feel bad. Anything else?"

"Jingchen, how do you know everything?" An Yiruo was like a blank sheet of paper in front of Mo Jingben, and could be seen through at a glance.

"Because I... know you."

"He confessed his feelings to me, got rejected, and then got angry and accused me of being... vain!"

At this point, An Yiruo became furious! She was clearly not like that! Why was she being misunderstood like this!

Mo Jingchen pulled An Yiruo into his arms to comfort her, his eyes narrowed, his gaze filled with ruthlessness. Very well, how dare they bully his darling!

"Next time something like this happens, just give it a piece of your mind. Don't be afraid, I've got you covered."

"I'm just angry that he said that to me! I didn't do anything..."

An Yiruo leaned against Mo Jingchen's chest, like a chick with its feathers ruffled, seeking comfort at any moment.

Mo Jingchen didn't say anything, but he had already made a mental note of this person. Daring to steal his woman, didn't he know his own limitations?!

"I brought you out early tonight, you must be hungry. We'll go back to change clothes in a bit, then we'll go out for dinner."

Mo Jingchen didn't want An Yiruo to continue being sad, so he changed the subject.

"Are there still any shops open at this time? After all, tomorrow is the Spring Festival."

As An Yiruo spoke, she looked out the car window and saw that many shops had already lowered their roller shutters and put up Spring Festival couplets.

Some shop owners from other places went home early to celebrate the Spring Festival and reunite with their families.

"some."

After changing his clothes at home, Mo Jingchen took An Yiruo's hand and went to the restaurant.

This is a restaurant serving stir-fried dishes. The decor is very Chinese and has a lot of charm.

"What would you like to eat?" Mo Jingchen handed the menu to An Yiruo.

"You order. I don't come here often," An Yiruo said, pushing the menu towards Mo Jingchen and shaking her head.

"Lazybones."

Mo Jingchen then turned to the waiter and told him the names of a few dishes before returning the menu to the waiter.

"It's not that I'm lazy, it's just that the ones you ordered were tastier," An Yiruo said with a grin, defending herself against Mo Jingchen.

Mo Jingchen looked at An Yiruo, smiled but didn't say anything.

The dishes were served quickly, all of which were An Yiruo's favorite dishes.

The delicious food successfully made An Yiruo forget the unpleasantness of today's company annual meeting...

Back home, thinking about how tomorrow is New Year's Day and I'll be going to the old house to see my uncle whom I've never met before, I felt a little nervous.

"Jingchen, what's your uncle like? Is he easy to get along with?"

"Don't worry, you're so likable, they'll definitely like you. Don't worry."

“But I…” An Yiruo followed behind Mo Jingchen.

"An Yiruo, show your confidence!" Mo Jingchen snapped out of his daze, put his hands on An Yiruo's shoulders, and looked into her eyes as he spoke.

After exchanging glances, Mo Jingchen went to his study, leaving An Yiruo alone.

"Mo Jingchen, you still haven't answered my question! Shameless!"

An Yiruo lowered her head and took small, quick steps back to her bedroom. She checked the gifts she had prepared for everyone again, and finding nothing wrong, she lay on her bed and started scrolling through her phone.

In the study, Mo Jingchen, with a solemn expression, made a phone call to his assistant, Zhou.

"President."

"Is the annual meeting over?"

"Reporting to the CEO, it's over."

"Okay, go and investigate the male colleague who spoke with Madam at the meeting today. I need all his information."

"Yes, Mr. President."

After the call ended, Assistant Zhou stood there in silence for a few seconds.

Who is the male colleague talking to the lady? He doesn't know!

I was hoping to have a happy New Year, but I ended up having work to do on New Year's Eve!

Indeed, the most miserable people are the working class! Especially those working for the boss!

Assistant Zhou has already returned to the hotel and is quietly checking the surveillance footage!

Upon finding this person, Assistant Zhou first "thanked" his ancestors for eight generations, which allowed him to work overtime until the early hours of the morning!

I thought he was just a low-level employee with nothing special about his background, but I never expected... he was actually Dong Jiasen's youngest son at Jiasen Real Estate!

This news is explosive! Why would Dong Jiasen's son become a lowly employee at the Mo Group?!

After completing all the materials, Assistant Zhou pressed the send button and sent them to Mo Jingchen's email address.

The sky was already beginning to lighten.

Assistant Zhou, sporting dark circles under his eyes, went to catch up on his sleep.

The next day, on the way to the Mo family's old residence, Mo Jingchen opened the email sent by Assistant Zhou, his brows furrowed. So that's how it is. No wonder he dared to compete with him, Mo Jingchen, for a woman!

It turns out he was Dong Jiasen's youngest son.

However, as the largest investor in Jiasen Real Estate, the Mo family also has a certain influence over Jiasen Real Estate.

If Mo Jingchen withdraws his investment, it will definitely be a major blow to Jiasen!

This is certainly not the outcome Dong Jiasen wanted! Dong Cheng is bound to suffer this time.

Anyone who wants to make a move on his precious child will have to see if Mo Jingchen agrees!

Mo Jingchen: "After the New Year, please arrange for the boss of Jiasen Real Estate to come to the Mo family for a get-together."

Assistant Zhou: "Yes, President."
