"Mr. Mo, are you really so heartless? It's just a meal."

“Not just anyone is qualified to eat at the same table with me,” Mo Jingchen said before leaving without looking back, leaving Xiang Wei standing there stunned.

However, Xiang Wei understood that she was in Mo's photography studio at the moment, with many staff members around her. She couldn't lose her composure or show displeasure.

So Xiang Wei still wore a professional smile on her face, turned her head to look at her assistant, and the assistant nodded to her.

Seeing this, Xiang Wei finally breathed a slight sigh of relief and went back to work.

An Yiruo witnessed the entire conversation between the two.

"An'an, don't you think our beautiful Xiang Wei and the CEO are a perfect match? It seems the CEO likes Xiang Wei quite a bit too," Zhang Yuanyuan said excitedly, looking at the two of them.

"I don't think they're a good match at all. Let's go."

Zhang Yuanyuan was bewildered by An Yiruo's sudden departure. She could only leave with a few other colleagues.

After leaving Studio 3, there was still some distance to go back to the operations department. Although the sunlight shone through the large floor-to-ceiling windows onto An Yiruo, she still felt no warmth at all.

Her colleagues were all chattering about how beautiful Xiang Wei was and how handsome the president was, but none of this reached An Yiruo's ears.

As An Yiruo walked down the long corridor of the company, her mind was filled with thoughts of whether Mo Jingchen and Xiang Wei really had something going on...

"Yi Ruo, what are you thinking about? You seem so engrossed."

It was only after Zhang Yuanyuan gently pushed her that An Yiruo was able to regain her senses a little.

"Oh, it's nothing."

"Yi Ruo, do you think the president and Xiang Wei are a good match? I think tomorrow's headline will be about the president of Mo Corporation quietly visiting the beautiful Xiang Wei on set!" Zhang Yuanyuan said with certainty.

"Weiwei, if we don't go back soon, the manager will scold us!"

"Yi Ruo, I had completely forgotten about it until you mentioned it. Let's go!"

An Yiruo didn't want to discuss with Zhang Yuanyuan how well her husband matched with other female celebrities, so she came up with a reason to urge her back to the office.

The group quietly returned to their workstations and sat down, as if nothing had happened.

When it was lunchtime, Mo Jingchen texted An Yiruo again, "An'an, do you want to come up and have lunch with us? The food is quite good today."

Following the text, Mo Jingchen also attached a picture of food.

An Yiruo felt extremely awkward looking at the text message from Mo Jingchen. He had just been all lovey-dovey with another woman, and now he was inviting her to lunch?

"I'm not going."

Mo Jingchen looked at An Yiruo's reply without much surprise. Although it was expected, he still felt that An Yiruo's reply today was a little strange.

"An'an, did work not go well today?"

"No."

"Is something bothering An'an?"

"No. I made plans with a colleague to have dinner together."

...

Mo Jingchen's intuition told him that there was definitely something wrong with An Yiruo today. So Mo Jingchen dialed the internal line: "Assistant Zhou, come in for a moment."

"President, what are your orders?"

"Go and find out what Madam did this morning. Was she bullied?"

"Does the CEO feel that his wife is being bullied in the operations department?"

"Madam is in a bad mood today. I'm worried she's suffering in silence. Go and investigate."

Upon hearing Mo Jingchen's words, Assistant Zhou immediately understood that the president was worried about his wife.

I never imagined the CEO would be so considerate to his wife. Sigh, another day of being fed dog food (a Chinese slang term for witnessing public displays of affection).

Assistant Zhou immediately retrieved the operations department's surveillance footage from this morning. After reviewing it, he discovered that Madam... apparently... skipped work this morning?

Assistant Zhou immediately located the spot where An Yiruo had left and pulled up surveillance footage from other locations. But the more he looked, the more familiar the place seemed.

Upon closer inspection, this is the same photography studio I visited this morning.

"The photography studio...the photography studio. Oh no!" Assistant Zhou slapped his forehead, realizing he might have made a huge mistake. After copying the video, he rushed to the president's office.

"President, this morning... Madam did not receive any punishment."

"What could be the reason..." Just as Mo Jingchen was muttering his guess, Assistant Zhou continued with the next sentence.

"President, but it seems that Madam skipped work this morning. She skipped work to go see... Xiang Wei's filming..." Assistant Zhou's voice grew softer and softer until he could no longer hear what he was saying.

"Madam went to the photography studio, how come I didn't notice?" Mo Jingchen looked at Assistant Zhou in confusion. If An Yiruo were here, he should have seen her at first glance.

"President, Madam is hiding behind a colleague, it seems... she doesn't want you... to see her."

"Bring me the video to see."

Assistant Zhou took out a USB drive and handed it to Mo Jingchen. After Mo Jingchen opened it, he saw that An Yiruo was hiding behind another girl, peeking out from time to time to watch him and Xiang Wei talk.

He could see that An Yiruo must be very unhappy at this moment, and he could see the clenched fist in her hand.

But what is An Yiruo angry about? He didn't have any physical contact or ambiguous behavior with Xiang Wei.

But as Mo Jingchen continued watching, he felt something was off, until he finally realized what was wrong.

The camera was positioned directly above An Yiruo's head, and the footage showed him... and Xiang Wei... how come it looked like Xiang Wei was leaning on him while talking? Yet they seemed quite intimate.

An Yiruo must have seen this scene to be unhappy. This is the real reason why An Yiruo ignored me at noon!

Thinking of this, Mo Jingchen felt a sense of relief and happiness. That heartless little An Yiruo was finally no longer indifferent to him.

The fact that she was jealous proved that she cared about him. Thinking of this, Mo Jingchen couldn't help but laugh out loud.

However, Zhou, the assistant on the other side, looked puzzled. Was his boss... having a mental breakdown?

How can he remain so calm after his wife witnessed such a scene? Could it be that the relationship between the president and his wife has long been dead in name only?

However, Assistant Zhou thought again and realized that judging from how much the president cared about his wife, their marriage was not as dead in name only as he had imagined. But he couldn't figure out why the president could laugh out loud after seeing this video.

"Assistant Zhou, go and retrieve all the surveillance videos from every corner of Studio Three for me."
