Chapter 46 Cocoon "You, what are you going to do?" ...
"You, what are you doing?"
The breath she exhaled seemed hot. Xia Yiqing stepped back, but found she had nowhere to retreat. Her waist hit the back of the seat, and the two people's breathing entangled with each other.
The man was surrounded by light, clearly holy, but looking at her eyes, he was like a wild beast, lying in ambush in the dark night, ready to attack at any time.
"Yo," a sloppy male voice rang out, sounding somewhat like someone asking for a beating.
"Isn't this Manager Xia? Why is she hooking up with another man?"
It was the female assistant beside Xia Lie.
"What's it to you?" Xia Yiqing didn't even look at her.
"You, you really have lost the protection of Master Qi Sanye and started looking for someone else. It turns out that those rumors about your divorce from Master Sanye are true."
Xia Yiqing's eyebrows twitched, but quickly calmed down. "I don't know what you're talking about."
However, it is indeed nonsense.
The two of them didn't even get a marriage certificate, they just had an agreement that bound them together for three years.
When you think about it this way, even talking about divorce is being lenient.
But when she saw the man opposite her with his eyes drooping and his fingertips trembling, Xia Yiqing gritted her teeth and retorted.
"You're so concerned about other people's lives. It seems you're not happy enough yourself, otherwise why would you keep harping on others?"
"You, how can you talk like that!" The female assistant blushed.
"Then why are you here to meddle in my affairs? Am I talking to you? What position do you have to come here to speak on behalf of President Xia?"
"No, I didn't." The female assistant turned pale with fright.
She only stayed in Xia Lie's favor because she was good at talking, sweet-talking, good-looking, and willing to play with Xia Lie.
Originally, she wanted to trick Xia Yiqing into revealing useful information, so that President Xia would definitely value her more.
But I never expected that the situation would turn out like this.
"Since you have no position, then you are talking nonsense in front of me. Is this how you behave as the president's assistant?"
"I, I just heard rumors saying that. It's not me. I'm just saying what everyone is thinking. If you don't believe me, ask them if they think the same about you."
The expressions of the people present changed slightly, and there was a hint of resentment in their eyes when they looked at the female assistant.
It's so stupid. Not only did he get himself involved, but he also dragged them into the water.
Full of evil intentions.
So, those with empty plates acted as if nothing had happened while looking at their phones and eating air, those who were chatting were shouting loudly with their friends, and those who were walking were in a hurry.
They don't want to be called out.
Some things are said behind people's backs and it's best not to mention them in person.
What's more, they are just ordinary clerks. It would be too easy for the manager to hold them accountable or make things difficult for them.
"Who are 'everyone' or 'they'? Why don't you call one and see who agrees with you?"
A gentle man wearing glasses was elegantly wiping his mouth with a napkin when he was caught off guard and asked, "Do you and the president's assistant agree?"
The man with glasses lowered his head and pushed his glasses up strategically. "Excuse me, what opinion? I didn't hear what this... lady said."
Xia Yiqing turned her gaze and glanced at Xia Lie's female assistant.
"Repeat what you just said."
"It means that your relationship with the Third Master has broken down... You are deliberately deceiving me!"
"How is it?" Xia Yiqing ignored the angry female assistant and looked directly at the man with glasses. In fact, her eyes could not help but glance towards the noble man.
"Do you share her opinion?"
The man with glasses politely pushed up his glasses with his middle finger, "I have never heard of these opinions. Although I have never seen what the Third Master looks like,
"But I know that in Jiangcheng, there is no one who dares to make up stories about the Third Master, and it is impossible for him to exist."
Xia Lie's female assistant's face turned pale. "No, it's not," she said in a daze, her hands waving around unconsciously, muttering, "Weren't you the ones spreading it? Why don't you dare admit it now?"
"Even the president's assistant has to rely on evidence when speaking," said the man with glasses, a member of the legal department, speaking directly and aggressively.
"You said I was spreading it. Show me the evidence."
"What evidence do you need? If it weren't for you spreading the rumor by word of mouth, how could this rumor have been around for so long at the Xia family?"
"If you can't produce any evidence, then stop talking nonsense and disrupting the public."
The man with glasses from the Legal Department put down the tissue, frowned, nodded to Xia Yiqing, and walked out, leaving the female assistant alone with a pale face.
"Did you hear that? Don't say anything about 'we' without evidence," Xia Yiqing lowered her head slightly and looked directly into her eyes, a sharp glint hidden in her eyes.
"After all, not everyone is like you, being used as a tool and still blissfully unaware of it."
"You, who are you scolding?"
"Who's across from me then?"
Xia Lie's female assistant stomped her feet, tears in her eyes, snorted, wiped her tears, and was about to run away.
A slender, white hand blocked her way. "Stop! You said some strange things to me for no apparent reason, trying to sow discord between me and the Third Master. Shouldn't you apologize?"
In the corner, Xia Lie's figure flashed by.
There is only one corner of a suit, but it is easy to recognize.
Because Xia Lie believes that success depends on clothes, and although his official position is not the highest in the Xia family, he only buys expensive brand suits.
He dressed better than his second uncle and Xia Yiqing's father.
The female assistant couldn't help but shudder when she saw that Xia Lie's face, which always greeted her with a smile, was filled with gloom.
In a place where no one paid attention, Xia Lie frowned and shook his head.
He wanted his assistant to apologize.
The female assistant has never suffered such injustice since she followed Xia Lie.
After being promoted to assistant to the president, those who disliked or looked down on her became more polite and cautious in their tone.
Even if she had a conflict with someone, even if the person in question was a graduate of a prestigious university, she could still push him or her away.
How can we still bow to others like we are doing now?
The assistant bit her lip with her uneven teeth, leaving a trace of lipstick red on the tip of her teeth. The corner of her mouth twitched reluctantly, "Yes, I'm sorry."
"Oh," Xia Yiqing sat on the chair, her almond eyes pure and sharp.
"Just because you apologize, I have to forgive you?"
Opposite her, the man who watched the entire fight leisurely curled the corners of his mouth silently.
The little girl was really unwilling to suffer any loss.
But why did she spread rumors about their inappropriate relationship? Qi Hanmu was in a trance for a moment. Could it be that she actually...
For the first time, a look of confusion appeared in those usually ruthless phoenix eyes.
"I'm sorry," Xia Lie liked this female assistant for a reason. She blinked and tears streamed down her face, as if someone was pouring eye drops into her eyes.
"I was wrong, Manager Xia, please forgive me."
This change in attitude is hard not to be surprised.
Xia Yiqing's eyes darkened, she nodded, and let the man go, "Remember, watch your mouth next time."
The female assistant lowered her head and answered softly, but she took it seriously in her heart.
Who on earth was Xia Yiqing? How dare anyone humiliate her in public like this?
Do you really think that she's just working as the CEO's secretary for nothing?
Xia Lie flashed past the crowd again, and the female assistant immediately chased after him, pinching her throat and speaking in a coquettish voice, "Boss Xia, wait for me."
If someone nearby hears this, they might mistakenly think that this person has some special skills with his mouth.
Otherwise, how could she only use wavy lines when others were talking?
For the first time, Xia Lie felt disgusted with stupidity, his eyes like knives, "Shut up."
He scolded in a low voice, which made the woman's eyes look more aggrieved.
Before, Xia Lie would never be so indifferent to this young assistant, but he himself was scolded, so naturally he had no energy to pay attention to other people's emotions.
"Boss Xia," the woman shyly tried to pull up his sleeves after entering the office.
"You, are you going to let Xia Yiqing off so easily? Lili thinks that you are President Xia and she is just a manager. President Xia, are you afraid of a mere manager like her?"
"How is that possible?"
Lili was ecstatic and cleared her throat. Just as she was about to say, "Then help me get revenge quickly," she saw Xia Lie biting a cigarette but didn't light it.
His brows were furrowed, with obvious wrinkles between his eyebrows, and the smile lines at the corners of his eyes also changed. He no longer looked as gentle as usual, but rather a bit unpredictable and unnerving.
"Don't mess with her lately. Xia Yiqing is not as simple as you think."
Lili was on the verge of tears. "But President Xia, she insulted me today and made me apologize in public. I was so embarrassed."
"What's face? It can't be eaten and it's worthless."
"But Xia Yiqing always calls me Madam President. It seems that I'm the one she looks down upon, but actually..."
"What's the actual meaning?" Xia Lie's eyes darkened, and he slammed his hand on the table, blurting out a curse word.
"She actually looks down on me? Would she dare?"
Seeing that there was a chance, Lili immediately added fuel to the fire, "Look, how can it be impossible? Everyone knows that I, Lili, am the CEO's assistant at Xia Corporation.
"You represent the president's reputation. Even if you secretly look down on me, you should at least give me some face. But Xia Yiqing is so noble, yet she refuses to give you face and embarrasses you. She is really scheming."
Xia Lie clenched his teeth and cut off half of the cigarette with a "crunch".
He narrowed his eyes and exhaled a breath of foul air, "Don't worry about this. Tonight, I will naturally make this good cousin of mine, this noble Manager Xia, look good."
"Boss Xia, is that true? We can't take action against her..."
As the two talked, the distance between them gradually narrowed, reaching an extremely ambiguous angle. Xia Lie's Adam's apple rolled up and down, "You still don't trust your man?"
The room was full of laughter and teasing, it was so joyful.
canteen.
Xia Yiqing looked at the shrimp that had hardly moved, and unconsciously began to tug at the corner of her clothes.
After all, it was Qi Hanmu who peeled it for her personally, although it was also Qi Hanmu who told her to spit it out personally.
"Want to eat shrimp?" The man sat opposite her, his cold eyes looking at her quietly, and invited her again without leaving any trace.
"I remember that the aunt in Yiyuan was very good at cooking shrimp."
The little girl clearly swallowed her saliva, but still stiffened her neck. "Oh, then it seems Mr. Qi is blessed."
The broad and big hand stretched out, almost covering the girl's entire face.
Qi Hanmu's slender fingers with distinct joints brushed across the girl's face, as if treating a rare treasure. He didn't dare to use force, but he didn't want to be gentle. He touched it slowly and carefully, bringing some warmth and coolness, as well as the unique woody fragrance of men.
Perhaps, Xia Yiqing's eyelashes trembled slightly, and she felt a little numb.
It should be the calluses on Qi Hanmu's hands.
It did sound unbelievable that the pampered Third Master had calluses. Xia Yiqing shook her head and drove the thought away.
Seeing the man with drooping eyelashes, as if nothing in the world could disturb his mind, she deliberately moved closer.
"Why, Mr. Qi is unhappy?"
