Chapter 488: If You’re Too Social, You’ll Become a Widow

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Jiang Wenxu naturally agreed to Huo Yichen’s request. Considering that it was too late, he couldn’t hang up after a few words.

“Satisfied?” Jiang Wenxu turned off his cell phone and turned to look at Jiang

Weiyang beside him.

Jiang Weiyang pouted and a happy smile appeared on her face.

She reached out and pulled Jiang Wenxu’s sleeve. “As expected, you’re the best to me, Big Brother.”

Thinking that she couldn’t even step foot in the Huo Corporation these few days and could only find Ye Zhen, who always carried an expression of facial paralysis when talking to her, Jiang Weiyang had been holding it in for the past two days.

In the end, she had no choice but to look for Jiang Wenxu and think of this method. She would “conveniently” go to the dinner party to meet Huo Yichen.

If they didn’t meet, how could there be any development?

“…Don’t let it backfire,” Jiang Wenxu reminded.

From the moment he met Huo Yichen, Jiang Wenxu had always maintained a cautious att.i.tude towards this person. Now that the other party was completely in control of the Huo Family, if his Little Sister angered the other party, it would not be good for the Jiang Family.

Thinking of Huo Yichen’s recent bold reforms of the Huo Corporation and his methods of overthrowing Huo Hong, Jiang Wenxu was even more afraid of him.

Jiang Weiyang was happy at this moment, so how could she listen to Jiang

Wenxu’s words? She only nodded to fool him, but she was thinking about her

own plans when the time came.

The next day, Murong Qiao really didn’t go to the company. Instead, she went to the Huo Corporation early to look for Huo Yichen.

She stood at the entrance of the company with a bag of breakfast. As soon as she entered, she saw the front desk lady she had talked to the last time she came.

Coincidentally, Zhuang Mi also saw Murong Qiao and even waved at her happily.

“Mrs-Young Miss Murong, the CEO just went upstairs.” Zhuang Mi almost called her Mrs President.

Fortunately, she changed her words in time. Zhuang Mi could tell that Murong

Qiao didn’t want her relationship to be publicized, so she hurriedly stopped talking and changed her way of addressing her. However, she was still a little excited. This feeling that only she knew.

Murong Qiao smiled. “Alright, thank you.”

Seeing that the little girl was quite cute, Murong Qiao thought for a moment and took out the breakfast she had bought and placed it in front of her before walking towards the elevator.

“Why did you let her in, Zhuang Mi? You didn’t even ask if she had an appointment. Be careful not to have your salary deducted,” the colleague said when she turned around and saw Murong Qiao’s back.

Why would Mrs President need an appointment?

Zhuang Mi thought of Murong Qiao’s ident.i.ty and wanted to explain, but she didn’t say it. If she spoke too much, her salary would really be deducted.

She only took the breakfast that Murong Qiao had given her and ate it before it was time to start work. It had to be said that the taste was so delicious that she wanted to swallow her tongue.

Murong Qiao pressed the elevator b.u.t.ton and quietly chose a corner to stand

in.

However, even though she was wearing a mask, her beautiful eyebrows that were exposed still attracted the attention of many employees.

It was work time now, and many people were in a hurry to take the elevator.

Ye Zhen was also one of them. Just as he hurriedly entered the elevator and saw that he was not late, he couldn’t help but heave a sigh of relief. However, as soon as he relaxed, he saw Murong Qiao standing beside him.

Mrs President?!

Ye Zhen’s eyes widened. Then, when he saw the surrounding employees looking at him, he hurriedly pushed his eyes calmly and turned his gaze elsewhere.

When most of the people in the elevator had left and only Ye Zhen and Murong Qiao were left inside, Ye Zhen spoke hesitantly.

“Good morning… Young Miss Murong,” Ye Zhen greeted cautiously.

Was he lucky to see Mrs President so early in the morning?

Murong Qiao was originally staring at the elevator floor in a daze, thinking of what Huo Yichen was doing later, she heard Ye Zhen’s voice.

After being stunned for a moment, she turned to look at the person beside her and recognized that this was Ye Zhen.

“Morning.” Murong Qiao nodded casually.

Ye Zhen didn’t know what to say for a moment. He had always heard more about this Mrs President than seen her. Now that they were alone, he felt even more silent and awkward.

Fortunately, the elevator door opened in time. Murong Qiao walked out first and resolved the awkward situation Ye Zhen thought he was in.

Knock, knock.

Murong Qiao looked up and rapped on the door twice. After hearing the approval from inside, she quietly stuck her head in.

The man was looking down at the doc.u.ments in front of him, as if he didn’t realize that the person who came was Murong Qiao.

After all, anyone who came at this time was most likely Ye Zhen reporting on his work and schedule, so Huo Yichen didn’t look up. He only rubbed the bridge of his nose and focused on the doc.u.ment in front of him.

Murong Qiao held her breath and lightened her footsteps after closing the door. She quietly walked to Huo Yichen’s side and deliberately didn’t say anything. She stood beside him and bent down gently.

“What—” Huo Yichen looked up strangely.

He was about to ask why Ye Zhen isn’t saying anything today, but when he looked up, he met Murong Qiao’s eyes. Their gazes met in the air, and his heart skipped a beat.

The faint fragrance challenged his sense of smell at a close distance, making Huo Yichen’s tense nerves relax and he focused again.

Almost instantly, his cold face softened. After realizing who it was, the impatience in Huo Yichen’s heart dissipated quickly.

“Why are you here so early? Aren’t you supposed to sleep a little longer?” Huo Yichen chuckled.

However, Murong Qiao wanted to ask Huo Yichen this question more.

Murong Qiao noticed the dark circles under his eyes at first glance. His tired expression was on his face, and even his shirt and tie were slightly loose. He didn’t look like he had gone home to rest last night.

Murong Qiao had never seen Huo Yichen like this before. His fatigue made him look a little decadent and handsome. Coupled with the golden-rimmed gla.s.ses on the bridge of his nose, Murong Qiao looked at him for a long time before she remembered to reply.

Murong Qiao’s eyes curved. “Aren’t I here to accompany you for a day?”

“It’s fine if the mountain doesn’t come to me. I’ll go to the mountain.” She waved the breakfast in her hand.

■You didn’t go home?” Murong Qiao asked as she took out the breakfast she had bought and placed it on the table.

Huo Yichen rubbed the s.p.a.ce between his eyebrows and simply put down his pen and doc.u.ments. His body relaxed as he leaned back and closed his eyes to ease the soreness.

“It’s a waste of time to go back and forth. I might as well just rest in the office for a few days.”

Huo Yichen took a deep breath. In fact, he had been so busy these past few days that he only slept for less than four hours every day. As soon as he woke up, he threw himself into work without stopping.

In addition, other than the butler taking care of the situation, there was only the paralyzed Huo Hong left in the Huo Family. There was no need to go back.

He still had a lot of work to do, and it would still be a while before he could leave with ease. In order to accompany Murong Qiao earlier, Huo Yichen’s efforts made Ye Zhen feel that he, a social animal, was about to lose out.

Others might not believe it, but Ye Zhen felt that the President was simply a representative of society.

Murong Qiao gently reached out and tapped the tip of his nose. “Even robots have to refuel. Do you really think you’re omnipotent?”

“Speaking of which, many people in school have been saying that they didn t see you recently and think that we’ve broken up. If this continues…” Murong Qiao joked, “I might become a widow?”

Of course, she only said this to let Huo Yichen rest well. She was not in such a leisurely mood.

Moreover…

On second thought, Murong Qiao realized that she couldn’t urge the other party to rest well even if she was not by Huo Yichen’s side most of the time. Indeed, she should go back and ask for the butler’s contact information and let the other party keep an eye on him.

“That won’t happen,” Huo Yichen replied seriously..
