From Zhan Qing’s “Everyone Loves the CEO”
Chapter 9
The company was filled with a strange atmosphere, as if something had happened. Everyone’s eyes became mysterious, yet no one could pinpoint exactly what was wrong.
These past few days, Deng Nu had heard many people coming to gossip about the “CEO’s new love” to her. She was on the verge of tears, wanting to kick that willful man. Alas, she was even more angry at her own confused emotions!
Walking into the break room, she stood in front of the coffee machine in a daze. Her usually sharp shoulders drooped slightly, not looking like the typical Pang Deng Nu. He Yuhua had already expressed concern about her health multiple times.
“Sigh!” She exhaled, feeling stuffy.
She didn’t know what to do with him. This was the downside of dating a CEO. She had never wanted to get involved with the CEO in the first place, hoping to be invisible! But somehow, they became entangled. How could she handle this mess? Even if everyone didn’t know the scandal’s female lead was her now, what if it was exposed one day?
Long Jie had already complained yesterday that she was like a secret lover, but she really didn’t want to step into the spotlight!
Thinking about it gave her a headache.
“Why are you sighing? Who’s giving you trouble? Tell me.” A familiar large hand wrapped around her waist, and a low voice spoke next to her ear.
She turned and saw it was Long Jie! “You, it’s you.” The instigator!
“What did I do?” He buried his face in her soft neck, stealing a kiss. Oh! How he wished she would dress normally, not wrapping her beautiful body in this terrifying outfit every day, making him feel helpless.
But he knew that forcing Deng Nu to change would only make her more resistant.
“Don’t you know the company’s weird atmosphere?” She glared at him.
“Really?” In fact, he knew. Xie Qier, that gossip guy, had already come to interrogate him about the scandal’s female lead. If he hadn’t warned Xie Qier not to speak, the story might have already been exposed.
Perhaps exposure wouldn’t be bad. He could “officially acknowledge” her, and she could stop wearing those terrible outfits and come to work looking beautiful every day.
