chapter 16

After Fengguang submitted the document, she headed back towards the elevator but she didn’t even get in before a woman in the hallway rushed into her. Fengguang got lucky and was able to balance herself by holding onto the wall so she didn’t fall.

“Ah, I’m so sorry! I didn’t mean it!” Qiu Niannian bowed to her in apology. When she looked up, she realized who she had bumped into. “It’s Miss Xia?”

Fengguang appeared a little upset. “Miss Qiu, it’s common sense not to run in the hallway.”

“I-I’m sorry… It’s because the CEO asked me to buy coffee for him and gave me a time limit. I didn’t have a choice and I started running with the coffee. Miss Xia, I’m really sorry for bumping into you!”

“Coffee? I remember that every office has prepared coffee and tea… Song… The CEO told you to go out and buy it?”

Qiu Niannian grinded her teeth. “He said the coffee shop at the corner of the street tastes really good.”

So in reality, it was to make things difficult for her.

“It seems like the CEO does view Miss Qiu in a different light.”

Qiu Niannian didn’t quite understand what Fengguang meant but in her heart, she held back what she wanted to say. She didn’t want him to view her in a different light!

“Miss Qiu, you’re still not leaving? Didn’t you say the CEO gave you a time limit?”

“Ah! I almost forgot!” Once Qiu Niannian remembered her important task, she picked up her bag and ran. As a result because she ran too hastily, when she turned at the corner, she wasn’t able to stop and ran straight into the wall. The coffee spilled everywhere and her forehead was hurting so much that she started crying while simultaneously twisting her ankle.

“Hey, Qiu Niannian!” Suddenly, a man, who put away his usual arrogant demeanor, appeared and knelt down to help Qiu Niannian up. He saw her reddened forehead and her swollen ankle. He then turned to icily glare at Fengguang who was standing nearby. In a frosty tone, he asked, “What did you do to her?”

Fengguang: “…”

She didn’t do anything but why was the gun pointed at her?”

Song Mo had noticed that Qiu Niannian had gone out for a long time and still hadn’t returned so he couldn’t resist searching for her. He didn’t expect to run into this scene. He knew the woman in front of him. This was Xia Fengguang, the woman his mother had arranged to come to his company regardless of his opinions. He couldn’t stand his mother’s crying and complaining so he thought fine, let her come. As long as she knew her place, he wouldn’t do anything to her. In the end, Xia Fengguang stayed in Bai Zhe’s office without taking a step out. At first, Song Mo thought this was strange but quickly, Qiu Niannian took up most of his time and energy so towards Xia Fengguang who wasn’t doing anything, he chose to forget about her. However, a woman was still a woman. Even though she was pretending to be obedient, she still couldn’t keep her hands off Qiu Niannian and finally chose to strike.

Hmph, after all a fiance was a troublesome thing!

Fengguang who didn’t know what Song Mo was thinking decided to speak out. “That…”

“Shut up!” Song Mo coldly cut her off. “Do you know whose woman you just hurt?”

“…I don’t know.”

“Xia Fengguang, don’t forget your place. Even if you’re a woman my mother decided on, I have a million ways to make you regret getting involved with my woman.”

“Wait a moment.”

“On the surface, you’re playing hard to get but behind my back, you use such underhanded methods.” Song Mo harrumphed. “Xia Fengguang, I’ve seen so many women like you.”

Qiu Niannian wanted to cry when she heard his words get stranger by the second. She wanted to say something but Song Mo pulled her to stay behind him.

Song Mo protected the small woman behind him and with a natural air of dominance that usually caused people to hesitate in fear before him, he continued, “Qiu Niannina is my woman. Anyone who dares to think about touching her must face the consequ-… Hey!”

”

”

An object had been thrown and was flying at his face. He stopped talking and took a step back. The object flew past and hit the floor. It was a high-heel. Song Mo could only feel the burning pain on his face.

He angrily glared towards the woman who clearly wanted to die. Before he could even say anything, another high-heel came flying at him. “Listen when others are trying to speak, you narcissistic moron!”

She took a breath and her cell phone ended up dropping to the floor.

But Fengguang didn’t care about this. She stood tall, bare feet on the ground and one arm on her hip as she loudly yelled at him. “Who the fuck do you think you are? Do you think all women have to like you and only you? Do you think of yourself as an emperor from the history books, that all the women are lined up waiting for you to favor them, that they’re all scheming against each other for you? Your skin is paler than a woman’s, your waist is thinner than a woman’s, and your legs are longer than a woman’s. Not every woman likes such a feminine type like you. Also, is the Cinderella, behind you, the only princess here? This miss is also a beauty and did you think I was going to go beneath myself to fight her for your attention? The air around this whole building is starting to seem stupid because you, idiot!”

She stuck out her middle finger on her left hand. “You son of a bitch!”

Song Mo went green and then pale. The footprint on his handsome face was laughable. He was heaving. This seemed to be the first time he had ever heard a woman cuss at him and he didn’t know how to react. In the end, his attention was directed towards the crowd who had grouped around them in the hallway. “What are you all looking at?! Don’t you have work to do?!”

The noisy crowd quickly dispersed while Fengguang still hadn’t remembered to pick up her phone that was on the floor.
