Chapter 28

Parsed with an automated reader. The content accuracy is not guranteed.

A warm and gentle breath hit her cheeks, bringing a slight itchiness to her skin. Shu Yian felt as if her body was hit by an electric shock and she stiffened as the numbness spread. Her face blushed uncontrollably and feeling that they were way too close than what was appropriate, she quickly pushed Su Wen away. She was already sitting quite far away from Su Wen but now sat at the furthest edge and leaned back as if she was avoiding the god of plagues.

Her ears were burning and her entire body felt uncomfortable.

Shu Yian rubbed the place Shu Yian had bitten and suddenly felt she was dirty.

What kind of evil trick was this? Who bites the face when biting someone?

Meanwhile, Su Wen remained in a dignified sitting position and her face was impassive on the surface, but she still nervously swallowed before saying the words, “There is no law that says I can’t retaliate.”

【I wasn’t the one who initiated it.】

【You can’t blame me for something you started and deciding where to bite is based on mood!】

“Shameless!” Shu Yian glared at her before turning her head to the side.

She doesn’t know if there is a visible mark on her face. It would be embarrassing for her if there was one and someone saw it, especially that girl Zhou Yu. Who knows where her mind will go if she sees it.

The driver continued to listen quietly to the conversation between the two in the front row.

Did he hear that right? His hearing isn’t’ broken’ is it? President Su said she retaliated?

【And Miss Shu just scolded her for being shameless?】

【En? Did something unspeakable happen back there?】

【Ai, what a pity I wasn’t able to see anything. What a bummer.】

See! Even the driver, someone who only thinks about his three meals a day, is thinking such nonsense! Let alone other people.

She really wanted to strangle Su Wen to death right now.

Su Wen pursed her lips and glanced at Shu Yian through the side of her eyes. She could clearly see that the other party’s head was turned away from her in a fit of anger but she didn’t understand why.

In terms of who bit harder, she did not bite as hard as Shu Yian.

Moreover, it was Shu Yian who started it first and then she scolded her, so why was she angry?

She’s not even angry at Shu Yian for biting first.

Shu Yian ignored her. Although Su Wen’s words had some logic, did this person not understand why she bit her? Is Su Wen really that insensitive and dense?

Oh, wait, Su Wen really is that dense. After all, she didn’t know that Shu Yian could hear every complaint she had in her heart.

The two remained at an impasse for the rest of the drive, neither of them taking the initiative to speak. The car traveled unhurriedly on the road and the destination was not too far, but the driver felt that this trip was extremely long. Perhaps due to the strange atmosphere between the two people behind him.

After they finally reached the company, the driver let out a sigh of relief. He parked the car and got out to open the door for Su Wen, “President Su, we’ve arrived.”

Shu Yian got out of the car first while Su Wen hummed and then followed. Suddenly she wrapped her right arm around Shu Yian’s waist.

Shu Yian: “Release me!”

Wasn’t the little act they put on in front of Yan Ruxue yesterday enough? Has she not played enough?

Su Wen didn’t let go and then argued with conviction, “We must be able to trick everyone if we are to pull this off successfully. If someone in the company sees that our relationship is not good, won’t our act be exposed to Little Xue when she hears the news?”

Shu Yian gritted her teeth, “I never would’ve guessed that you would care so much about your little childhood sweetheart. If you care about her so much, why don’t you just marry her?”

Su Wen raised an eyebrow, “I do not return her feelings. Your words are strange, why does it sound like you’re jealous of her?”

“You really think too highly of yourself!”

Su Wen slightly tightened her grip and hugged Shu Yian closer to her side, letting out a smile that did not reach her eyes, “Then aren’t you thinking a little too highly of yourself when you try to flirt with other girls?”

“Lin Ge is a winner of the Nobel Prize in Literature and the world’s number one freehand Chinese painter. She also has quite a few achievements in ceramics and flower arrangement. I advise you to stay away from her. You are only looking to humiliate yourself and she will only look down on you.”

“Then I guess she must like someone like you!” From what she saw in the interaction between Lin Ge and Su Wen yesterday, it is clear that the two of them didn’t know each other, but now Su Wen knew everything about this woman. Could it be that she likes her?

“You even investigated her?” Shu Yian frowned. How idle is this person and isn’t it an invasion of privacy to investigate others like this?

Su Wen replied confidently, “I’ve only conducted a simple background check of her identity.

【Of course, the reason for this background check is to see if she has a good character and thus know if you are unworthy of her. I want you to thoroughly give up on chasing her!】

【You should be a little more self-aware and stay far away from her.】

Shu Yian criticized Su Wen 10,000 times in her heart. She didn’t want to pay attention to this idiot’s words at first but then she thought about the possibility of Lin Ge being the heroine and felt curious about Su Wen’s attitude towards her. So she asked, “Then what do you think of her?”

“She’s 10,000 times better than you!”

【She’s in a league so high that you can never hope of climbing that high. So hurry up and stay far away from her.】

Shu Yian had a sudden realization.

In the past, whenever Su Wen misunderstood her relations with other women, be it Yan Ruxue or Zhou Yu, she usually admonished herself as an old pervert without shame. She cursed and scolded, but she never praised the others.

This time, however, Su Wen still scolded her but also seemed to have a good impression of Lin Ge and inadvertently praised the other woman.

Is this the so-called legendary halo of the heroine?

As soon as the two leads meet, will they be unknowingly attracted to each other?

Seeing that Shu Yian was not saying anything, Su Wen couldn’t help but worry that perhaps her words were a little bit too hurtful. So, with some resistance, she added, “But you’re not that much inferior to her, you still have your own advantages.”

Shu Yian never thought she would hear Su Wen say something close to a compliment to her, so she couldn’t help but ask in bewilderment, “For example?”

【Slim waist! 】

Shu Yian: “????”

Su Wen felt that her passing thought was a little too vulgar and hurriedly tried to think of something else.

【Advantages Shu Yian has? 】

【If I knew I would have to admit this I wouldn’t have comforted her earlier. What advantages does she have? 】

【She’s going to want an answer no matter what, so what should I do?】

Su Wen racked her brains for an answer and finally came up with an acceptable answer that could be regarded as an advantage, “You’re pretty strong.”

【As fierce as a female tiger. 】

Shu Yian’s smile stiffened and she placed a hand on Su Wen’s waist to discreetly pinch her fiercely and teach her a lesson. But before she could she heard the passing employees squealing in their minds!

【So sweet ah, AHHHHHHH! I’m going to have a sugar crash!】

The other employees also seemed to become starry-eyed fools although none of them dared to look at Su Wen directly and instead slyly glanced at them from time to time.

【What a beautiful romance this is, I support!】

【It turns out that President Su and Shu Yian are truly in love.】

【Although Shu Yian has a really bad temper, that just makes President Su’s love for her even more valuable.】

【Wuwuwu, I must applaud her. This woman must’ve saved the entire Milky Way galaxy in her last life in order to land such a good woman like President Su….】

Shu Yian dropped her hand in shock as she listened to these people’s thoughts with a dumbfounded expression.

What is going on here? Is this all because Su Wen is hugging her waist?

But the last time Su Wen and her hugged and acted close to her, these people were obviously more skeptical and didn’t believe them at all.

Even if they were suddenly believing it, is this reaction a little too big?

However, these doubts didn’t last long when she saw Zhou Yu and finally understood what happened.

It was still 10 minutes before the official start of the workday so although Zhou Yu came in early, she wasn’t working and instead watched short videos on her phone.

She was so focused that she didn’t even notice when Su Wen and Shu Yian had appeared at her side.

Su Wen didn’t care at all what her employees did during their breaks and didn’t intend to linger, but Shu Yian had leaned over to take a look.

She had heard Zhou Yu roaring loudly in her mind, “President Su is a peerless good woman!” so she wanted to see what she was watching.

As a result, she saw a video of when Su Wen and her went to the western restaurant with Yan Ruxue and the little tricks she played on Su Wen such as forcing Su Wen to carry her. Who knows who posted this video online, but it was trending and received quite a few likes.

Zhou Yu was reading the comments flying through the screen with a focused mind and Shu Yian followed.

【My god, this pair is just too sexy.】

【Two onee-chans with immortal fairy-like beauty.】

【The action of carrying her on her back is such pampering and spoiling behavior.】

【I’m going to be killed from stuffing myself on too much sugar by this sweet couple.】

【I know the woman who’s being carried. She’s a talented pianist, so this is a “Bai Fumei”* romance! I can only look on enviously. 】(*T/N: Bai Fumei is slang for a perfect, beautiful woman.)

“What are you looking at?” Su Wen couldn’t sit still anymore after seeing Shu Yian and Zhou Yu standing so close and watching the screen on the cell phone so intimately.

【It’s not like she doesn’t have her own phone, why does she have to look at someone else’s?】

After being startled by Su Wen, Zhou Yu finally regained her senses and almost dropped her phone in fright, “Good morning, President Su!”

Then she noticed Shu Yian beside her and quickly hid the phone behind her back, “Morning, Miss Shu!”

Due to the majestic aura of Su Wen, she was frightened but she regained her footing and looked up to see the bite mark on Shu Yian’s face. Her eyes flashed with delighted surprise.

【Could it be that they engaged in bondage play last night?】

【A thin red rope tied around white and tender skin, wrapped around the waist, neck, and then finally around the face.】

【Then as President Su carefully bites the knot to tighten it, she accidentally bites Miss Shu’s face?】

【Ah, speaking of, Miss Shu is wearing flats today. They must’ve played too intensely yesterday so it’s inconvenient to walk in high heels.】

【Although, if I had a good-looking lover like that I wouldn’t be able to hold back on experimenting with some hardcore plays. But only a little hardcore, really just a little, hehe. 】

Shu Yian thought she would’ve become immune to Zhou Yu lewd thoughts, but it turns out she’s only immune to the non-descriptive thoughts that didn’t paint a picture.

For example, last time Zhou Yu thought Su Wen and her did this and that but Zhou Yu had thought it in vague terms so she could tolerate it with great reluctance. This time, however, the words painted a picture that made her feel like a nosebleed was coming.

It’s impossible to allow Zhou Yu to continue like this, otherwise Shu Yian, who thinks of herself as a pure woman who has never been in love before, will be tainted with such dirty knowledge.

Since her advice and persuasion didn’t work, it was time to change tactics. Her brain moved and she thought of a good idea. This time she guarantees Zhou Yu will finally be convinced and will never dare to think even half a dirty thought in front of her ever again.

Zhou Yu glanced at Shu Yian’s wicked smile and shivered, “Miss Shu, if you don’t need anything from me then I’ll go back to work first?”

“Go ahead!” Ater saying that, Shu Yian turned to inform Su Wen, “I’m going out!”

【Why are you going out?】

Su Wen wanted to ask a few questions, but felt that she shouldn’t do so and simply nodded her head and said, “En, make sure to come back early!”

Shu Yian left the company and went straight to the nearest jewelry store to buy a crystal ball. It is said that Western Divination can accurately read your heart. This time she doesn’t believe she can’t fool Zhou Yu with this.

Shu Yian held her crystal ball and returned sneakily to Zhou yu, before putting the crystal ball onto her desk in a mysterious manner.

“Do you know what this is?”

“A crystal ball?” Zhou Yu was confused. She was unsure what Shu Yian was trying to do. Isn’t this a divination tool? What is Miss Shu doing with this?

Shu Yian put her hand on the crystal ball and deliberately lowered her voice, “Let me tell you a secret. I am the best at divination. Do you want to give it a try?”

Although Zhou Yu didn’t believe her in her heart, in order not to undermine Shu Yian’s self-confidence, she pretended to cooperate, “Since Miss Shu is so amazing, then let’s give it a try.”

Shu Yian recited a bunch of nonsense words that Zhou Yu didn’t understand but it sounded like some kind of spell. Then she stared intensely into the crystal ball before asking Zhou Yu, “Are you doubting me in your heart right now?”

“Emmmm” Zhou Yu made a noncommittal sound, not knowing what to say.

【Isn’t that something anyone can easily guess?】

Shu Yian: “You’re thinking in your heart that the reason why I am able to see your heart is based entirely on my own guesses and has nothing to do with the crystal ball or my divination.”

Zhou Yu still wasn’t believing her.

【Most normal people would think this way. Miss Shu, can’t you say anything that will surprise me?】

Shu Yian looked into the crystal ball and continued: “Okay, then let’s talk about a few other things. Such as your work.”

Zhou Yu: 【My work? Doesn’t Miss Shu know everything about my work since my first day here? Ai, this is so boring but I have to cooperate with her naivety. Well, unless somehow she sees that I entered the company through nepotism. Then I will praise her for being amazing.】

She got the job through nepotism? Does Su Wen know about this?

Shu Yian really couldn’t say anything about going through the back door as she herself could be considered to have done the same but she still frowned and showed a look of surprise, “Zhou Zhou, I saw I saw from the crystal ball that you seem to have relied on other people for this job….”

Now Zhou Yu was finally shocked and her mouth was open so wide that a duck egg could fit inside, “Did you really see that?”

Indeed, with her ugly resume, she can’t get into a startup let alone a big company like this. The only reason she was able to successfully enter Su Wen’s company was because she had a senior sister from school, Yan Jin, who understood her situation and helped her out. To be precise, she got in because a friend helped her.

They worried she would be discovered, so she and Yan Jin agreed to pretend not to know each other when she first entered the company.

They had concealed the matter so well that no one knew about this, yet at this moment Shu Yian had seen it with her crystal ball and Zhou Yu immedaily felt regret as she panicked.

“Miss Shu, I know what I did was wrong, but I take my work seriously and I am doing my best. Please, can you not tell President Su?”

Ah what an honest and lovely girl. When her dark secret is discovered she does not make excuses at all, but instead apologizes first and then discusses it nicely with others.

Shu Yian winked at her, and deliberately tried to tease her, “And what if I don’t agree?”

Zhou Yu immediately pursed her lips and pouted piteously, “Then I will be fired….”

“You’re not going to use anything to bargain with me?” Shu Yian didn’t expect her to compromise and accept her fate so quickly.

Zhou Yu pulled a bitter face, “If you want money, I don’t have any. If you want sex, I can’t offer you any. And I don’t think you’re lacking in that department, Miss Shu.”

“Is that so?” Shu Yian held her crystal ball in her hands and turned her eyes from Zhou Yu to the ball again with a puzzled face, “But the ball tells me you are a very lustful person, and seems to be always thinking quite dirty things?”

Zhou Yu really didn’t dare to say anything else at this moment and quickly stood up and bowed down at the waist, “Hello, it was nice knowing you Miss Shu! Goodbye, Miss Shu!”

【I better just leave, she even knows all this!】

【How embarrassing! My image is completely ruined!!】

Shu Yian feigned a question, “Everything was going well, how come you want to say goodbye so quickly?”

Zhou Yu pouted and scratched the back of her head embarrassedly. She had to depend on Yan Jin to get this job for her and although she didn’t say anything on the surface, she actually felt very guilty about the whole thing since she didn’t get the job based on her own strength and integrity.

However, guilt is one thing and trying to save this last job that pays the bills is another matter. Yet, Shu Yian had seen several of her dark secrets from the ball, so how could she justify staying any longer?

Miss Shu must have a very bad impression of her now. It is better to leave by herself than to be kicked out by President Su when the time comes.

Thinking like this, she answered truthfully and self-deprecatingly, “Because I have many shortcomings and I am also a person who entered the company through the back door. I know that I am unworthy of my position.

Zhou Yu has a simple personality, but her appearance and body is sexy and beautiful. So at this moment having her gorgeous appearance suddenly take on a pitiful little girl person was very conflicting and made one feel a sense of dissonance.

Shu Yian placed the crystal ball in the box and tapped lightly on Zhou Yu to indicate she should sit down, “Didn’t Su Wen already tell you on that first day? That if you don’t do well she will fire you. Since you’re still here doesn’t that mean you’re actually pretty skilled?”

Zhou Yu frowned, “But my resume….”

Shu Yian interrupted her, “Your resume is not your fault. Besides, some people may have beautiful resumes but their work is sloppy and ugly. When you handed in those documents for the first time, I even heard Su Wen praise you.”

Zhou Yu’s face instantly burst into a smile, her eyebrows curved upwards, “Really? President Su really praised me?”

“En!” Shu Yian nodded. At the time, she really did hear Su Wen praise Zhou Yu for a good job although it was all in her mind.

Zhou Yu patted her chest in relief. The burden of getting in through nepotism finally fell off her shoulder like a heavy stone. She then solemnly said, “Miss Shu, don’t worry I will definitely work even harder in the future, but….”

She suddenly changed the subject with a tone full of admiration, “Miss Shu, you really are a god. You’re so good at divintation. You are my idol!”

Shu Yian laughed loudly. It seems that her bluff worked on the simple girl and so she said boldly, “Yeah, my crystal ball allows me to see everything! Even your dirty thoughts!”

Zhou crossed her arms and laughed embarrassedly, “Fine, I’ll try not to do anything like that again.”

【Even if I can’t help myself, I’ll try to be a little bit more refined in my thinking.】

Shu Yian: “….”

Fine, she’ll take it. After all, she can’t let others think that there are unspeakable things happening between Su Wen and her.

After saying goodbye to Zhou Yu, Shu Yian returned to the office. Su Wen was watching a video, but when she saw Shu Yian come in she immediately pressed the pause button. Then she felt that she was acting too guilty and so she simply let the video continue playing.

On her computer is a video of Shu Yian playing the piano a long time ago.

At the time, Su Wen didn’t care who Shu Yian was. Whether they praised her for her piano skills or when she personally saw with her own eyes that she couldn’t play the piano, none of it mattered to her before. She never paid attention to these things and never felt the need to look up her name on the internet before she met her.

But now, for some reason, she suddenly started to care about Shu Yian’s affairs.

Probably because from when the two first met and then later at Yan Ruxue’s birthday party the difference between her two piano performances was just too great. Maybe that’s why she’s so curious?

But thinking like this, Su Wen beacume unhappy.

【She said she loved me and fell in love with me at first sight, but then she didn’t even play a piece for me. Just great, she only knew Lin Ge for an hour and then made an exception to play the piano for her!】

【She really is just a 100 percent womanizer through and through! I have never seen a bigger scumbag woman like her!】

Shu Yian: “…..”

This person really has that emperor mindset. The mindset that others can not have the things she does not have.

She can’t say that she was making up lies to Lin Ge about an “exception” and even if she told the truth, does it matter who she was playing the piano for? Does that have anything to do with Su Wen?

Shu Yian glanced at her, then went back directly to her work place. She really didn’t understand what Su Wen was thinking. If she was so angry with everyone who didn’t go along with her whims, then how did she survive till now?

How has she not angered herself to death yet?

As soon as she sat down, she received a text message from Lin Ge: 【An-An, are you there?】

Shu Yian never thought that the other party would take the initiative to contact her and after her surprise she was a little curious 【I’m here, goddess. Is something the matter?】

Lin Ge: 【Nothing’s wrong, it’s just that today’s my birthday and I was wondering if you would come over for dinner tonight, that is if you don’t mind. Don’t worry, I didn’t invite anyone else so it won’t be too noisy.】

Shu Yian felt flattered. Although she likes Lin Ge’s personality and wants to get closer to her, it doesn’t seem the two of them are so familiar yet, right?

Unless the goddess is someone who just naturally gets along with people easily?

As soon as this idea popped into her mind, Lin Ge sent another message: 【I felt a familiarity between us at first sight, so I wanted to invite An-An over. But in order to avoid any unnecessary misunderstandings, you can also bring President Su along.】

【Ok then.】

Shu Yian agreed for the time being. As for whether or not she should bring Su Wen?

She raised her head to look at Su Wen, who just so happened to meet her eyes at the same time. Then she directly got a bolt of hostility from the other person.

“What are you looking at?”

【If you don’t like me, then why are you secretly stealing glances at me. From now on you are not allowed to even look at me!】

【Since you like Lin Ge so much, if you have the ability just go look at her instead! Look at her until a flower blooms! 】

【I wish you both a 100 years of happiness!】

Shu Yian rolled her eyes. Su Wen says it like she wants to look at her. So she wants her to look for Lin Ge?

Then she’ll go, go, go! Go see her right now!
