"Then I'll wait and see. Good luck!"
"An Yiruo, I think you're a bit... heartless!" Zhang Yuanyuan pouted, looking distressed.
"snort!"
"Yi Ruo, you're being naughty! Now that you have the president backing you up, you can do whatever you want, right?" Zhang Yuanyuan said, pretending to be angry.
An Yiruo was taken aback after hearing this. Was it because of Mo Jingchen? Did it make her feel like she had someone she could rely on?
But then I thought about it again, and that wasn't the case. It was Mo Jingchen's love for me that gave me confidence. Love truly can bring more happiness and beauty to life!
At lunchtime, An Yiruo went to Mo Jingchen's office for lunch as usual.
"Chen, I heard that... there was a board meeting today?" An Yiruo casually rummaged through her rice bowl with her chopsticks, but didn't pick up more than a few grains of rice.
"You know!"
"Yeah, I heard it from a colleague," An Yiruo said, her spirits low and her usual appetite gone.
Despite the beautifully presented food, I had little appetite and ate only small bites.
"An'an, what's wrong?" Mo Jingchen noticed that An Yiruo was acting strangely, put down his chopsticks, and looked at her.
"It's nothing, I'm just a little worried about you."
What An Yiruo didn't say was that when she came to see Mo Jingchen, she heard some gossip.
They say the president acted rashly for the sake of a woman, completely disregarding the interests of the group's board members.
They didn't respect the group or the board of directors. When An Yiruo heard this, she could feel that those people were pointing fingers at her behind her back.
However, An Yiruo was unaware of the ins and outs of the matter, so she quickened her pace and entered Mo Jingchen's office.
Sitting on the sofa, his worries were written all over his face.
"What happened?" Mo Jingchen turned An Yiruo's shoulders, making her look into his eyes and answer his question.
"Well... when I came here, I heard some unpleasant comments. Did I... cause you any trouble?"
After speaking, An Yiruo stared intently into Mo Jingchen's eyes, as if asking a question, or perhaps wanting an answer. Or perhaps she wanted a confirmation that she wasn't a femme fatale who brought ruin to the country!
“An’an, whatever you hear, don’t pay attention to it. I will handle these things. Just be a carefree An’an as usual.”
“But… I don’t want to keep hiding behind you and holding you back.” An Yiruo lowered her head with a dejected look, her voice growing softer and softer as she spoke.
"An Yiruo! I won't allow you to talk about yourself like that," Mo Jingchen said, somewhat angry at her for speaking of herself that way.
“I…” An Yiruo raised her head, her big eyes filled with tears, which made Mo Jingchen feel very sorry for her.
"An'an, in my heart, you are the best and the most perfect. Today's rumors are nothing more than a power struggle within the Mo Group."
Some people are making a big deal out of my acquisition of An's company, trying to bring me down.
Mo Jingchen pulled her into his arms, holding her carefully, his heart aching for her. He felt sorry for her becoming a victim of the power struggle.
It was all because of him that An Yiruo was pushed into this situation. He felt sorry, but his apology seemed utterly inadequate at this moment!
“Chen”.
The name An Yiruo contains so many emotions. And coincidentally, Mo Jingchen understands her too.
"Sweetie, let's eat."
An Yiruo nodded and picked up her chopsticks again.
Mo Jingchen picked up a tissue from the table and wiped away the undried tears from An Yiruo's face...
At first, the two of them could still have lunch together in Mo Jingchen's office, but later, An Yiruo could not see Mo Jingchen at all.
If she hadn't truly felt a familiar scent embracing her as she fell asleep that night, she would have seriously suspected that Mo Jingchen had been kidnapped!
However, she couldn't help Mo Jingchen with anything he was busy with!
If Mo Jingchen is a business prodigy, then she... is at best a recent graduate, a complete novice. Her abilities are limited, and she can't share the burdens of this powerful figure.
"Yi Ruo, have you... heard any rumors lately?"
Zhang Yuanyuan had just arrived at the company when she sat down and hesitated for a long time, feeling that An Yiruo should have the right to know.
"What rumors?"
An Yiruo said this while organizing the files she would need on the desktop later.
"Some gossip about your CEO," Zhang Yuanyuan whispered to An Yiruo, leaning close to her.
"Mo Jingchen? What's wrong?"
"It is said that... the president is going to arrange a business marriage with the daughter of the major shareholder to strengthen the two families."
After saying this, Zhang Yuanyuan continued somewhat embarrassedly, "Of course, rumors may not be verifiable. They could just be fabricated by people trying to gain clicks. The president treats you so well and you're so loving, why would he marry the major shareholder's daughter!"
A marriage alliance? An Yiruo had never imagined that the rumors about Mo Jingchen were about this.
The hand that was organizing the documents stopped, and the brow furrowed slightly, as if the person was thinking about something.
"Where did you hear this rumor?" An Yiruo turned to look at Zhang Yuanyuan and asked.
"It's...right here. But there's only a silhouette, and it was too dark to take a clear picture."
Zhang Yuanyuan took out her phone, found the picture, and handed it to An Yiruo so she could see it for herself.
An Yiruo took the phone and saw the figure in the photo. It was all too familiar; it was indeed the person she hadn't seen in a long time.
But beside him was a beautiful woman, who must be the daughter of the major shareholder that Yuanyuan mentioned.
Judging from her back view alone, the woman is tall and dressed elegantly, and must be a beauty.
The two people in the photo entered the restaurant one after the other, but they didn't seem particularly close.
"I trust Jingchen; he wouldn't do anything to betray me."
An Yiruo handed the phone back to Zhang Yuanyuan, her eyes now filled with unwavering determination.
An Yiruo recalled the words Mo Jingchen had said to comfort her in his office that day, and thought about all the ups and downs they had gone through together. She could feel that Mo Jingchen's love for her was genuine.
This time, she will believe in Mo Jingchen, and believe that one day, Mo Jingchen will give her a reasonable explanation.
If she starts crying, making a scene, and threatening suicide now, wouldn't that do exactly what some people want?
