Chapter 23 Hickey on the Neck
Su Ying: Why did you quit the group? What they said was so unpleasant. This gathering was proposed by Shen Yixiao. You are his wife. It is a bit too much to not give him face and just quit the group!
I sneered and threw my phone aside, too lazy to pay attention to it.
Su Ying couldn't bear to see Shen Yixiao being bullied by me. As long as she found out, she would come to defend me and judge me for being wrong.
I was so stupid before. I really thought she was doing this for my own good. I thought what she said actually made sense. It gave her the illusion that I was easy to control.
I didn't reply for a long time, and Su Ying got anxious and called me directly.
"Xiaoyue, didn't you see the screenshot I sent you? Does your withdrawal from the group mean you don't plan to attend the class reunion? Is Shen Yixiao not angry?" Su Ying asked in one breath.
I had just parted ways with Shen Yixiao on bad terms, and I was already in a bad mood, so I was very aggressive. "So what if he's angry? If you're worried about him, why don't you go and comfort him? Don't you have his contact information? You can send him a message."
As long as Shen Yixiao is willing to respond, I think Su Ying will be eager to stick to him.
Su Ying was so angry that she had nothing to say and hung up the phone angrily.
Until twelve o'clock in the evening, Shen Yixiao did not come back.
I didn't try to guess where he was, who he was with, or what he was doing. I just prepared the clothes I would wear for work tomorrow and then went to sleep.
The next day, I showed up at the company on time, and the HR manager personally received me and arranged work for me.
My job is actually just to kill time. My manager assigned me some things that are so simple that a child can do them.
"Madam, if you feel uncomfortable with anything, please remember to tell me. I'm always here for you." The manager said to me with a flattering smile.
"Manager He, I'm here to work. You can call me Li Yue or Xiao Li, but don't call me Madam," I reminded him.
Manager He nodded, "Okay, Li Yue, Li Yue is a nice name."
Then he took me to meet other colleagues in the HR department. They were all very respectful to me and I could see there was a gap between us.
I haven't worked for a long time. Seeing others doing their jobs and being so busy, I felt a little bored, so I took the initiative to take on some miscellaneous tasks.
"Secretary Lu!"
Suddenly, someone shouted.
Everyone's eyes turned towards the door at the same time. Lu Xiaoyun was holding a bouquet of red roses in her hand. Her white suit was exquisite and neat, and her light makeup made her look fair and rosy, very gentle and beautiful.
I also stood up and looked at her expressionlessly.
Didn’t you say you would take a half-month vacation? I don't think she has ever left the company, and it seems like Shen Yixiao can't leave her for a moment.
"Madam," Lu Xiaoyun walked towards me after seeing me, with a faint smile on her face, "This is a gift that Mr. Shen arranged for you. I wish you a happy start of work."
She handed me the flowers, but my eyes were fixed on her white neck, where a kiss mark was faintly visible under her collar.
When she noticed my gaze, she did not hide it, but asked me in confusion, "Madam, is there something wrong with my dress?"
"Secretary Lu, why are you coming to work so soon? Didn't you say you would take a half-month break?" I took the flowers, keeping a calm face and asked with a smile.
Lu Xiaoyun glanced at the others and didn't shy away from the topic. A happy smile hung on her lips. "Boss Shen contacted me last night and said that the company had a lot of things to do and the other secretaries had a lot of things they didn't understand. He needed my help and asked me to end my vacation early."
Shen Yixiao did not come home last night, he must have been with Lu Xiaoyun.
I tightened my fingers around the flower a little, and my eyes became a little cold.
"Well, Secretary Lu is really your CEO Shen's right-hand man." I nodded.
Two blushes flew up Lu Xiaoyun's cheeks, and she looked a little shy, as if she was not discussing her boss but her lover. "I am very grateful to Mr. Shen for his kindness. He is willing to give me a chance, so that I can become his capable assistant."
The seemingly normal words concealed Lu Xiaoyun's indirect provocation. She wanted to tell me that it was Shen Yixiao who gave her the opportunity to climb onto that bed.
She thought I was in the dark and knew nothing, so she played all kinds of word games secretly. She was eager to show off and step on me, but she lacked the imperial decree from Shen Yixiao.
I pursed my lips and pointed at the kiss mark on Lu Xiaoyun's neck, "Secretary Lu, it's better to pay attention to your image while working. It can be seen that you and your boyfriend have a good relationship."
Lu Xiaoyun raised her hand to cover the kiss mark. She was able to cover it accurately without a mirror, which showed that she had carefully prepared the position and angle of exposure.
If I knew everything later, I could trace back all these little details and completely collapse.
She has always been good at this kind of psychological tactics.
"Okay, ma'am, I'll pay attention next." She smiled with her eyes curved.
Manager He came over. He didn't understand why, but he echoed my praise for Lu Xiaoyun, "Secretary Lu must not have noticed the problem with her clothes today. She is usually Mr. Shen's right-hand man. She has been working for less than two years, but her business ability has surpassed others!"
He has even surpassed his boss in bed. His business ability is indeed outstanding.
"Well, I heard from Yi Xiao that Secretary Lu is very dedicated to his work. Even during his vacation, he would call to report on his work." I won't get angry because of Lu Xiaoyun's provocation. In my previous life, I died at the hands of her mistress, which was already frustrating enough, and my psychological endurance has greatly improved.
"It's my job, ma'am. You go ahead and do your work. I'll go back to work." After Lu Xiaoyun greeted me politely, she turned and left.
I looked at the roses on the table and thought they were so tacky that I never touched them again.
On my first day at work, I felt very relaxed because everyone took great care of me.
When I got off work, Shen Yixiao was already waiting for me at the door of the Human Resources Department. He was tall and slender, and the expensive suit fit him very well. People who were not familiar with him would definitely be confused just by looking at his appearance. They would not be able to guess that he was a gangster. He looked more like the young master of a big family. This appearance gave him a layer of brilliance and was very attractive.
Everyone looked at me with envy, especially those young female colleagues, whose eyes seemed to be full of hearts.
"I'm here to pick up my wife from get off work. Manager He, can she get off work now?" Shen Yixiao asked Manager He with a smile.
Manager He nodded and replied, "Of course, of course. Madam has worked a full day today. It's really hard. Go back and have a rest!"
Manager He’s exaggerated reaction made me want to laugh, but I couldn’t.
Because this is the scene that Shen Yixiao and I have imagined countless times. We were lying in a cheap rented apartment, fantasizing about what we would do in the future when we made money. Now that this romantic and sweet scene has finally come true, I don't even have the strength to curl my lips.
"Let's go." I walked over and forced a smile on my face.
Shen Yixiao returned to my workstation and picked up the bouquet of red roses, "You forgot to take it away."
He handed it to me and I took it reluctantly with a fake smile on my face.
I thought that since I was reborn, my acting skills must be very good, but when facing someone whom I love and then hate, acting is really exhausting. Sometimes I can hardly even pretend.
The confrontation between us last night was like it had never happened, and Shen Yixiao just turned the page naturally.
Amidst the envious gazes of the crowd, Shen Yixiao put his arm around my waist and left the HR department with me.
