Guan Nianwei subconsciously took a step back, leaned her back against the cold wall, and hugged the documents in her arms tightly.
She didn't dare to watch that scene again. Her mood unconsciously dropped, her shoulders slumped, and she felt indescribable pain in her heart.
What is she thinking about?
Dongyu never said that he didn’t have someone he liked, right?
Dongyu never said that he likes women, right?
Her secret love was one-sided, and she was fanciful and shameless in her desire to imagine that there might be a slight possibility between her and Dong Yu.
Possibly? How could it be possible between the two of them?
Dongyu is a god, a noble princess, and the bright moon hanging in the sky, but she is just a mortal, an ordinary, unremarkable mortal.
Jiaoyue should be paired with Jiaoyang, not with an ordinary person - she is not worthy of Dongyu.
Guan Nianwei lowered her dim eyes and stood by the wall without saying a word.
Didn't she understand this fact? She did. From the beginning, she could clearly see the gap between herself and Dongyu, and could see how this secret love would end in vain - she knew better than anyone that she was not worthy of Dongyu.
But she couldn't control her heart from beating for Dongyu, because this heart no longer belonged to her alone, Dongyu had taken it away quietly without her knowing.
But she was useless and had no way to win back Dongyu's heart. She didn't dare and didn't want to like Dongyu. Although it was painful, there was also a joy that could not be ignored.
Guan Nianwei kept counseling herself and warning herself: It is Dong's freedom to choose who she likes, and you have no right to interfere. And the fact that she has someone she likes just gives you a chance to give up, so give up as soon as possible, as long as you can let her go, you are still the winner.
But when she tried to persuade herself to give up liking Dong Yu, her brain seemed to be deliberately going against her and immediately started to recount all the good things Dong Yu had done to her, playing them in her mind like a movie.
Guan Nianwei bit her lip, wishing she could take out her brains and beat them up - wasn't this driving her crazy?
But why is Dongyu so nice to her?
As she thought about it, the corners of her mouth were quietly pulled down by dejection, and her whole body became depressed again.
Why are you so nice to me?
It was so bad that she didn't even have the courage to save herself.
Guan Nianwei closed her eyes. She had never felt so tired before. She wasn't even this tired when she had a fever a few days ago.
Is it so tiring to like someone?
No! She must summon the courage to save herself!
Guan Nianwei patted her face again and made up her mind - she had to ask clearly. If Dongyu really had someone she liked, she would immediately put away her little thoughts and just be her secretary honestly.
"Secretary Guan." Dong Yu's voice suddenly sounded.
Guan Nianwei was shocked at that time.
Dong Yu leaned against the wall, leaning forward slightly, and looked curiously at Guan Nianwei who was standing in the corner holding documents: "What are you doing here?"
Guan Nianwei was silent for three seconds, then calmly pushed up her glasses and began to lie with her eyes open: "I'm waiting for you to see if there's anything else you need me to do."
It’s impossible to tell the truth—not in this lifetime!
Dong Yu said "Oh" with understanding, and said: "Not at the moment, Secretary Guan can go back and have a rest after getting the documents."
There was absolutely no thought of going with her.
Guan Nianwei felt stuffy in her chest and empty inside, but she tried her best not to let her disappointment show on her face, and could only say in a stiff voice: "Okay."
"Who is it?" a man's voice came from behind.
Guan Nianwei subconsciously turned her head and saw him walking out from behind Dongyu. He raised his hand very naturally and skillfully and placed it on Dongyu's shoulder.
——Everyone can see that they have a close relationship.
Guan Nianwei couldn't help but tighten her fingers and reminded herself in her heart: Calm down, Guan Nianwei, don't lose your composure!
She couldn't help but look at the man again, so that she could see his true appearance clearly.
The man had a pair of peach blossom eyes, the same light golden color as Dongyu. He was tall, with broad shoulders and a narrow waist. He was surprisingly good-looking. He could be called the best-looking man Guan Nianwei had ever seen. Compared with him, Xue Cheng lacked a bit of stability. Zhou Hua was barely as tall as him.
Wait, why do some of their facial features seem similar? ? ?
Dong Yu looked at the man and introduced Guan Nianwei to him, saying, "My secretary's surname is Guan and her name is Nianwei."
The man smiled, his naturally affectionate peach blossom eyes curved slightly, his smile was very warm, he extended his hand: "So you are Miss Guan, hello, it's our first time meeting."
He was very friendly when he smiled, but the kingly aura on his body could not be concealed no matter what. Even if people saw him smiling like this, they would not easily classify him as someone who could be bullied.
Guan Nianwei was not shy either. She shook his hand and asked politely, "Hello, may I ask you what you are doing?"
The man smiled and took back his hand, and said politely: "I am Dong Yu's father. In Yunting, according to your position, you can call me 'Shao Dong'."
Guan Nianwei: “............”
Guan Nianwei: “!!!”
She was shocked - no wonder she felt that he looked like Zhou Hua and the others after looking at his face carefully, no wonder his eyes were the same color as Dong Yu, it turned out that lovers eventually became father and daughter!
Very good.
She couldn’t help but think with delight: He is His Majesty the Emperor of Heaven, the overbearing chairman of the Queen Mother of Heaven—he is not someone that President Dong likes!
Guan Nianwei didn't know what right she had to be so happy, but she couldn't help it! As long as she could have one less love rival, she would be happy!
And this is His Majesty the Emperor of Heaven, the man who controls the entire Heaven, the man who manages both the Cloud Court and the Heavenly Court in an orderly manner—the king who is high above.
Guan Nianwei was in awe of him and called out respectfully, "Hello, Mr. Shao."
His Majesty the Emperor nodded calmly and said kindly, "You have worked hard to help my son these days. I have heard her praise you. I hope you can continue to work hard and help her work well."
——I heard her praise you.
Guan Nianwei quickly grasped the key point.
President Dong praised me in front of her father! President Dong praised me!
Guan Nianwei's mood improved instantly, and her tone became much lighter and more positive: "Please rest assured, I will do my best to assist President Dong and will not let him down."
There was a look of excitement between her eyebrows, her eyes were surprisingly bright, and the slightly upturned corners of her lips immediately revealed her mood at the moment.
Dong Yu curled the corners of his lips unconsciously.
It seems that her secretary Guan is in a good mood.
Seeing the children in a good mood, her mood unconsciously improved as well.
His Majesty the Emperor nodded with satisfaction and said, "Then you can go back first. I have something else to see the ministers about. I will go to Sanchi later."
He didn't say why he went to Sanchi, but Dongyu could guess. Guan Nianwei could also guess roughly, but she was not sure - maybe it was for the Queen Mother, or maybe it was to inspect Sanchi's insurance?
Dong Yu responded: "Okay, then my daughter will go back first."
His Majesty the Emperor raised his hand and touched her head: "Well, don't forget to take good care of your mother."
As a wife slave, he would never forget his wife. If it weren't for the fact that he had other things to deal with, the first thing he would do when he returned to Yunting today would definitely be to see his wife.
Dong Yu said: "My daughter knows, please rest assured, father."
His Majesty the Emperor patted her shoulder soothingly: "Thank you for your hard work."
Guan Nianwei and Dongyu walked into the elevator together and stood beside Dongyu. She remembered that she had misunderstood Dongyu and His Majesty the Emperor of Heaven as a couple, and she couldn't help feeling sorry for Dongyu.
At the same time, she thought of another question - does Dongyu have someone he likes?
She wanted to know the answer to this question, but she was afraid to know the answer. However, this was one of her few chances to save herself.
As long as Dongyu has someone she likes, she will immediately stop thinking about him and never think about him again. On the contrary, if she doesn't have someone, no one can stop her from liking Dongyu.
She didn't want to hesitate between liking and disliking. If she was going to like someone, she would just like him to the end, until Dongyu found someone he liked!
So she decided to muster up the courage to ask and let God help her decide which choice to make.
But she didn't plan to ask directly, because it would be easy to discover her little thoughts. She didn't plan to make the relationship open, so she had to change the way she spoke and find a perfect entry point.
Guan Nianwei thought about it, pushed her glasses, and apologized to Dong Yu as soon as she came up: "I'm sorry, President Dong."
Dong Yu was confused: "?"
Guan Nianwei said honestly: "Just now I misunderstood that you and His Majesty the Emperor of Heaven were a couple."
“I thought he was someone you liked.”
I almost died of jealousy.
Dong Yu glanced at her and raised his eyebrows in surprise: "Secretary Guan's misunderstanding is very dangerous." He added, "It's as dangerous as my mother thinking that I like her."
Guan Nianwei's face flushed, and she admitted it very frankly: "Yes, you are right, I am very sorry, please forgive me."
"It's okay." Dongyu didn't take it to heart at all, "It's not your fault."
Who made her father so handsome?
Guan Nianwei smiled and felt that the time had come, so she seized the opportunity and started the conversation: "Does Mr. Dong have someone he likes?" She even added a condition in a very rigorous manner, "Or a deity?"
Dong Yu looked straight ahead, at the closed elevator door, then touched the ring on his hand and slowly opened his mouth.
Guan Nianwei raised her head and paid attention to every subtle change in her expression. When she was about to answer, her heart suddenly rose to her throat and began to beat faster.
Will the answer be yes?
Is her secret love going to end here?
And with Dong Yu's excellent status and appearance, how could she lack suitors? There must be someone very outstanding in heaven pursuing her, and she might have already been attracted to him?
I think so.
The more Guan Nianwei thought about it, the more frightened she became, and even her eyes were filled with helplessness.
"No."
This is Dongyu’s answer.
Guan Nianwei was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously asked again: "What did you say?"
Dongyu repeated calmly: "I said, no."
Guan Nianwei's eyes widened little by little, and great joy filled her entire heart, making her almost reveal her true colors in front of Dong Yu.
She retracted her gaze, raised her hand to push up her glasses, and tried hard to hide her thoughts.
Now she has a reason to continue to have a crush on Dongyu - to keep her distance and be careful not to reveal her true colors.
Guan Nianwei felt that this was the best thing that had happened to her in the past few days!
She suppressed the urge to hug him and asked softly, "Did His Majesty the Emperor and the Queen Mother arrange a marriage for you?"
Just like the royal family in ancient times, princes and princesses would always make certain sacrifices for politics, either marrying far away or marrying someone they didn't love. This was very common in history.
She thought that the Heavenly Court also had a perfect royal system, and maybe they would allow Dong Yu and his people to marry to consolidate their power.
Dong Yu said, "They won't."
Guan Nianwei looked at her.
Dong Yu: "If my father supported the arranged marriage, he would not have married my mother, and he would not have argued with my grandfather for a whole day." She thought for a moment and said considerately, "Well, converted to your mortal world time, they quarreled for a whole year."
Guan Nianwei: “….”
It seems that both of them are quite free?
She recalled the gentle, calm and reserved appearance of His Majesty the Emperor of Heaven - I'm sorry, I didn't expect that your eloquence was also very good.
Guan Nianwei asked curiously, "Why are they arguing?"
Dong Yu told her the story openly: "My grandfather thought that my mother's third sister was elegant and dignified, with a graceful demeanor, and was the most suitable to be my father's queen, so he wanted to arrange a marriage for the two of them."
"But my father's heart belonged to my mother, and he didn't like my grandfather's rhetoric, so he disagreed."
"Why can only those who are elegant and dignified be the Queen of Heaven? How can a martial god like my mother, who is so powerful on the battlefield and can shake thousands of troops, not be suitable to be the Queen of Heaven? He thought my grandfather was old-fashioned, and he was angry that his beloved woman was so outstanding but was not appreciated. In addition, he was young and hot-tempered at the time, so he argued with my grandfather for a whole day."
Dongyu thought for a moment and said, "Maybe it's appropriate to say they quarreled all day?"
According to the descriptions of the gods of the same generation as her father and mother, it is quite appropriate, or even more appropriate, to say that the two of them had been arguing for a whole day.
Guan Nianwei was so fascinated by what she heard that she couldn't help but ask, "What happened next?"
Dong Yu recalled the descriptions of the older generation of gods and said, "Afterwards they had a cold war for a few days, and the matter was finally resolved with my grandfather's apology."
After listening to this, Guan Nianwei pushed up her glasses and sighed, "His Majesty the Emperor of Heaven must love the Empress of Heaven very much."
Dong Yu and the other three absolutely acknowledged this point.
Their father had always respected and doted on their mother. When their mother did something wrong, their father would not be willing to hit her or scold her. He always treated his wife with great tolerance and guided her to correct her mistakes.
But he had one bad point, he couldn't bear to scold his wife, but he was willing to scold his children. Sometimes when he was really angry, he would let Dongyu and others take the blame instead of his wife.
Dong Yu and the others didn't know how many times they had been scolded for their mother. The four of them even set up a shift system. After one was scolded, the next one would be scolded. They proceeded in an orderly manner and the thunder was evenly distributed. No one could escape.
The second generation of gods: Once you get used to it and your heart is dead, it won’t hurt anymore.
Fortunately, when the Emperor of Heaven scolded them, he was relatively gentle, and his words were harmless, which would not leave any eternal shadow on them. They would only feel bored and think, "How many sentences are there left? I want to leave," or "The vocabulary my father used to scold me today still hasn't been updated."
It is indeed not easy to be the child of the Emperor of Heaven.
When Guan Nianwei returned to Sanchi, Wu Xinyun was helping Zhang Jin pour tea. She would occasionally help her colleagues fetch water or pour water because she felt uneasy when she was always idle.
She had always thought that Sanchi was like a charity, because everyone seemed to be too idle, but the salary paid at the end of the month was not low, with a minimum of 8,000 and no upper limit. Secretary Guan's minimum was 10,000, with no upper limit, and she heard that she would have the opportunity to raise the minimum value in the future.
Wu Xinyun felt that apart from Secretary Guan who worked diligently, the rest of the people were too idle to deserve the salary, including herself - she could get a salary of 5,000 yuan a month without doing anything.
Wu Xinyun: If this isn’t a charity, then what is it!
It was not until Guan Nianwei told her that her colleagues in the company were actually hidden technical experts who would not show up easily that she understood a little.
It is understandable that large groups spend money to hire a group of industry leaders to help them.
Then naturally I ignored myself as an idle person.
When Wu Xinyun saw Guan Nianwei and Dong Yu coming back together, there was immediately a hint of ambiguity in her eyes, and her expression was full of "I understand".
As for the domineering president and his pretty secretary, she understands it and has seen it.
Guan Nianwei was sitting in her seat when she suddenly felt the gaze coming from the next room was particularly hot. She turned her head and saw Wu Xinyun holding her face and smiling at her.
Guan Nianwei: “……?”
What happened to you, Queen of Heaven?
Guan Nianwei picked up the water on the table and said, "Ms. Wu, please be normal. I'm scared."
His Majesty the Emperor of Heaven is coming today. If you act a little abnormally, I’m afraid I’ll lose my life.
Wu Xinyun smiled and held her hand: "Secretary Guan, you and President Dong must be happy!"
Guan Nianwei choked unexpectedly: "Cough, cough cough——"
Wu Xinyun hurriedly patted her back: "Hey, drink slowly, drink slowly."
If it was in the past, she could still calmly tell Wu Xinyun that she had misunderstood, but now...
How does it feel when the mother of the person you secretly love asks you and the person you secretly love to be happy?
She couldn't help but think about this question in her mind, and felt it was very subtle and complicated. It was not right to admit it, so she decided not to admit it.
Guan Nianwei coughed until her face turned red. After she caught her breath, she waved her hand and said, "It's nothing, don't misunderstand, Miss Wu."
"There is nothing wrong between Mr. Dong and me. It's really just a normal relationship between superiors and subordinates."
Wu Xinyun blinked and asked sincerely, "Why would normal superiors and subordinates go to a hotel to take a shower in the afternoon?"
The next day after this incident, Guan Nianwei took sick leave, and Wu Xinyun didn't have time to gossip about it. When she came over this morning, Guan Nianwei was busy with work, and Wu Xinyun was embarrassed to disturb her.
So Wu Xinyun had no idea what happened to her that day.
Guan Nianwei was confused by Wu Xinyu's ambiguous words.
Why did she go to a hotel to take a shower in the afternoon? Of course it was because she was dragged into the water by the fierce ghost and she had to take a shower to warm her body!
But could she tell the truth? She couldn't, but she could make up a story: "I was out doing business and got splashed with water by someone. It happened that Ms. Dong was outside and it was cold that day, so she came to pick me up to take a shower and change clothes."
Wu Xinyun seemed to understand: "Is this the reason why you have a fever?"
Guan Nianwei adjusted her glasses and nodded.
Wu Xinyun immediately showed a sympathetic look: "Secretary Guan, why are you so miserable? Who is so stupid as to throw water out there? Really..."
Guan Nianwei smiled.
It was miserable, but she also got a blessing in disguise, and lived with Dongyu for a few days...
Good fortune and misfortune go hand in hand, that's probably how it is.
Guan Nianwei also asked Wu Xinyun what he thought of the Overbearing Chairman recently and whether he could accept the Overbearing Chairman.
Guan Nianwei: His Majesty the Emperor of Heaven is coming today. If you can't accept it, it will probably be a big blow to him.
Wu Xinyun said very honestly: "A handsome boss is fine. An ugly one is not."
She admitted that she was such a superficial person.
When Guan Nianwei heard this, she felt relieved instantly.
This condition is so easy to meet!
…
At around four o'clock in the afternoon, His Majesty the Emperor of Heaven, Shao Dong, arrived. However, he came alone, without any followers.
When he came to Sanchi, the military officers there treated him as if they were meeting Wu Xinyun for the first time. They all stood up, their expressions solemn, and no longer dared to laugh.
Military officers: His Majesty the Emperor of Heaven is here to inspect our post in person. We dare not move.
His Majesty the Emperor of Heaven raised his hand and smiled slightly: "No thanks."
"Thank you for your hard work, no need to be polite."
While adjusting his sleeves, he glanced around, but didn't see the face he was thinking about. The next second, Wu Xinyu walked out of the tea room.
The moment their eyes met, two words popped up in Wu Xinyun's mind - so handsome!
Then he frowned slightly.
It’s just... why does it feel so familiar?
Guan Nianwei happened to walk out of Dongyu's office and saw this scene. She felt that she appeared at the wrong time and wanted to go back.
Dongyu knew that her father came here for his wife, so she greeted her father early and decided not to go out to greet him and cause trouble. So she now sat steadily in her office studying and reading documents.
Wu Xinyun couldn't make out anything from the Emperor's expression. The confused feeling made her subconsciously look at Guan Nianwei who came out of the office for help.
Seeing this, Guan Nianwei immediately assisted and greeted the Emperor of Heaven first: "Hello, Mr. Shao, thank you for taking the time out of your busy schedule to come here." Then she said to Wu Xinyun, "Miss Wu, this is the chairman of our Yunting Group, his surname is Shao."
Dong Yu said that the Emperor of Heaven was named Shao Jin, and when he came to the mortal world, he changed the first character of his name to "Shao". Currently, Dong Yu is the only one of the Emperors of Heaven who did not change his name when he came to the mortal world, because she was... too lazy.
Wu Xinyun was shocked—this handsome chairman actually existed? ? ?
Even the domineering CEO can’t compare to this look!
Wu Xinyun greeted him in a daze: "Hello, Mr. Shao."
The Emperor's heart softened. No matter what his Fu Meng turned into, she was always so beautiful and cute.
Guan Nianwei quickly created an opportunity for them to be alone: "Miss Wu, this is the first time that Mr. Shao has come to our place. Can you take him around?"
Wu Xinyun said "oh" twice, and immediately walked to the side of the Emperor of Heaven, looking up at him: "Mr. Shao, please come in."
So, this is the first task that Secretary Guan has officially assigned to her since she came to the company! She has to do it well!
Although the Emperor of Heaven was not used to seeing his wife, whose height had shrunk a lot, from such a close distance, it did not prevent him from feeling that his wife was the cutest and most beautiful in the world.
…
Guan Nianwei got off work on time at 5:30 in the afternoon. After packing up her things, she made sure that no one was in the office before she walked towards the door with her thermos cup. She was stopped by Dong Yu who had just come out of the office.
"Secretary Guan," Dong Yu asked, "Aren't you going to wait for me to go back together?"
Guan Nianwei paused and slowly turned back to look at her.
Dong Yu straightened his collar, his face calm, "Didn't I tell you that you would live with me until the matter at Evil Ghost Mountain was settled?"
Guan Nianwei: “…”
She wanted to, but she didn't dare, because she was afraid of being exposed! She decided to keep her distance from Dongyu and not let him lead her into it again.
Guan Nianwei said in agony: "I'm sorry to keep bothering you..."
Dong Yu frowned: "But I don't think Secretary Guan has disturbed me?" He then asked, "Or does Secretary Guan not want to live with me now?"
When Dongyu said this, she suddenly felt sad. She couldn't tell where this sadness came from or why it came out. She only knew that she hoped to continue living with Guan Nianwei.
I hope so from the bottom of my heart.
Maybe she has gotten used to the secretary being around these days, she thought simply.
Guan Nianwei was stunned for a moment, and retorted: "No, you misunderstood, I am not unwilling to live with you."
"I just feel that living with you and receiving so much care from you, but I can't give you anything in return, I feel a little guilty and embarrassed to continue living with you." In order to prevent Dongyu from having any wild thoughts, she began to make up stories.
Dong Yu looked at her and said, "If Secretary Guan works hard, isn't that repaying me?"
Guan Nianwei said, "That's different. Work is my job, and I get paid."
Dong Yu said "Oh", thought for a moment, and said, "In that case, Secretary Guan, please help me finish the milk in the refrigerator."
Guan Nianwei is always afraid of bothering others. If you give her something to do and keep her in exchange, it should be able to better alleviate her guilt.
Dongyu didn't know why, but she didn't want to let Guan Nianwei go, so she kept trying to find a way to keep her. If she kept insisting, she might give up.
She couldn't force Secretary Guan.
Dongyu was afraid that she would not agree, so he added: "I don't drink milk, it would be a waste if I leave it there."
Guan Nianwei was tempted by this proposal, and her will was damn shaken!
It’s just two boxes of milk. I’ll drink them before moving away. Nothing should go wrong, right?
It should be soon
Thinking of this, she couldn't resist the temptation and agreed cowardly.
Guan Nianwei: I’m sorry, I’m really useless in front of her.
Guan Nianwei first drove home to get some clothes and Dongyu's coat. After reporting to Guan Hui, she returned to the gods' community with Dongyu.
When they got home, they found that Xiao Xiannu was stuffing three large boxes of milk into the refrigerator.
The little fairy slave smiled sweetly and said to them, "There are a lot of discounts and promotions in supermarkets recently, so I bought some more. Is it enough for Miss Guan?"
Guan Nianwei: “….”
What should she say at this time, "God wants to kill me" or "God helps me"? ?
