Chapter 915 -915: Hidden Affair That Cannot Be Concealed
“Isn’t it you who said being a wife in a wealthy family is not easy? I just stated a fact. Look at me, before long, I too will divorce Ye Xiandong, your sister and I are both warnings from the past!” Qiao Qiao said, then turned around and left.
Wen Beibei grabbed Qiao Qiao’s arm, “Don’t get me wrong, I’m not making fun of Su. It’s just that such news somehow irritates me. Xiaoqiao, I really like you and don’t want to lose your friendship over a misunderstanding.”
“You’re overthinking it.” Qiao Qiao shook off Wen Beibei’s hand and headed to Ye Shiqing’s office.
“Brother, there’s no more coffee, so I made you a cup of tea,” Qiao Qiao said, then added, “Drinking too much coffee isn’t good, try to drink more tea in the future.”
Ye Shiqing’s lips curved slightly, beckoning Qiao Qiao over.
Qiao Qiao approached, and he pointed at the tea, “You first help me test the temperature of the water.”
Qiao Qiao took a sip from the teacup and then realized something was amiss. Sure, she was his jack-of-all-trades secretary, but who said such a secretary had to test the temperature of tea?
While she was still holding the teacup foolishly, Ye Shiqing had already taken it and drank from the spot where she had sipped, “The temperature is just right.”
Qiao Qiao’s face suddenly turned red, she opened her mouth, wanting to say something, but ultimately, she hung her head and walked away.
Wen Beibei was about to enter and saw Qiao Qiao looking flushed and hot-eared, she nervously asked, “What happened?”
Qiao Qiao shook her head, a bit flustered, “Nothing, nothing at all.”
After saying that, she hurried away.
Wen Beibei entered Ye Shiqing’s office, only to see him with a smile in his eyes, savoring his tea.
“Brother Shiqing seems to be in a good mood, is there some happy news?” Wen Beibei thought of Qiao Qiao who had just left, could something have happened between them in such a short time?
“Xiaobei, during office hours, don’t mix personal issues with work, and be mindful of the occasion, don’t casually use nicknames,” Ye Shiqing’s smile faded from his face.
Wen Beibei gave a light smile, “Yes, Mr. Ye! Here is the analysis report; there’s a field trip tomorrow. The paths in the rural area are difficult to navigate, especially after the rain, Mr. Ye better be prepared for it.”
“Let Xiaoqiao accompany me on the field trip tomorrow,” Ye Shiqing took the documents, giving his orders indifferently.
A hint of stiffness appeared on Wen Beibei’s smile; she remembered what Su Hongxing had said the night before.
Su Hongxing had mentioned that Ye Shiqing used to like Wen Baobao, but now he likes Qiao Qiao.
It seemed that what Su Hongxing had said had some basis; Ye Shiqing’s treatment of Qiao Qiao indeed stood out from the rest.
At the very least during work hours, Qiao Qiao could call Ye Shiqing “Brother” with no issue, but she couldn’t.
“Does sir really like Xiaoqiao? If so, I can play matchmaker for you and Xiaoqiao!” Wen Beibei said in a probing tone.
“I’ve said it before, don’t talk about personal matters during work hours, out!” Ye Shiqing’s gaze was cold as he looked at Wen Beibei.
Wen Beibei huffed softly, “I’m just concerned about you. You’re not getting any younger; if you have someone you like, better settle down soon…”
Under Ye Shiqing’s glare, she pressed her lips into a smile, “Don’t be shy, love between men and women is perfectly normal.”
“Out!” Ye Shiqing ordered again, his look icy.
Wen Beibei cheekily responded, “Yes, Mr. Ye!”
Ye Shiqing stared blankly for a while before concentrating back on his work. But his gaze unconsciously drifted towards the teacup.
Actually, those in politics all know that the most feared thing is misconduct, and few would employ members of the opposite sex as their work partners.
