Chapter 218: How Annoying

On the other hand, whatever Shen Ruoyi did was under Jing Yun’s observation. He knew exactly what kind of people Shen Ruoyi approached in Huang Yao. He also knew what she wanted.

He also knew that Shen Ruoyi was planning to get into Sheng Xiao’s office.

She just wanted to make sure whether he had a lover just by getting near him.

So, she might be able to find some clues in Sheng Xiao’s office.

If that was the case, Jing Yun would certainly arrange a good show for Shen Ruoyi. He would help her to gain the access card of the executive office area from the cleaner who was responsible for that area. Then, she would gain what she wanted.

After that, he would also arrange a chance for her to go into Sheng Xiao’s office.

It was ten at night. All of the other employees from Huang Yao had clocked out. But, Shen Ruoyi was still working hard.

She waited when everyone else had left. Then, she pretended to be the cleaner and went to the executive office area directly. The other important offices were locked but Sheng Xiao’s office was unlocked. It was because he never put anything important in his office and he rarely used that office.

Shen Ruoyi entered that modern office and she soon felt that it was filled with Sheng Xiao’s smell.

She sat down on the chair which Sheng Xiao sat before. She picked up Sheng Xiao’s cup and soon she felt quite excited.

Suddenly, Shen Ruoyi heard a scream. It was a woman’s voice and it frightened her. She soon became pale.

After that, Shen Ruoyi noticed that there was a private lounge in Sheng Xiao’s office. She could hear a woman’s voice coming from the lounge and it was mixed with a man’s devilish teasing.

Suddenly, Shen Ruoyi’s hair stood on its end. She then left Sheng Xiao’s office immediately without caring about her own image. She ran away desperately.

In fact, Jing Yun was watching a horror movie in the lounge. He had cranked up the volume intentionally.

He thought that Shen Ruoyi was a brave girl. But, she was frightened out of her wits.

Shen Ruoyi was greatly frightened. She returned home and locked herself up in her room. She could not believe that she had really bumped into the incident where Sheng Xiao was fooling around with a woman.

Cen Suyun saw that her daughter had no appetite during dinner. So, she asked her about it but Shen Ruoyi only shook her head. She could not bring herself to say anything.

It was because she herself was unsure how she felt about Sheng Xiao now.

The next morning, there was a new rumor being spread around in the office. “I heard that the ambulance came again last night after all of you clocked out of work.”

“Yes, that’s true. I heard that the girl’s body was slashed a few times. It’s so frightening…”

“They always say that the Crown Prince enjoys himself deeply. But, I never realized that he treats others so poorly.”

Shen Ruoyi’s facial expression changed when she heard that. It was because she remembered what she had bumped into last night all of a sudden. She could still hear the woman’s scream in her mind.

“Director Shen, why do you appear so pale?”

Shen Ruoyi shook her head when she heard her colleagues’ inquiries. “It might be because I didn’t have a good rest…”

Was Sheng Xiao really a demon who liked to fool around with women? If that was the case, should she consider giving him up? If she insisted on marrying him, would he treat her like that in the future? If Sheng Xiao could refrain from treating her like that, could she endure the fact that Sheng Xiao was fooling around with other women?

Shen Ruoyi was in a dilemma. But, she did not want to give it up so easily. So, she decided to go to Sheng Xiao’s office that night to take a look again.

Mama Sheng knew that Sheng Xiao was destroying his self-image. So, she said to Sheng Xiao before the meeting, “If you really don’t want to trouble yourself, I could help you and get rid of her.”

“Mom, if we really want somebody to give it up entirely, we must let them face extreme fear. How long do you think she could hold out?” Sheng Xiao retorted to his mother while fiddling with the cufflinks in his hand. Since he moved out of the Sheng family, that cufflinks had become the most valuable thing to him in the office.

“Who gave this to you? Why do you cherish it deeply?”

“If you give me such a common thing, I’ll definitely cherish it too.” Sheng Xiao smiled and put it back into the drawer.

“Don’t let this go on any longer. It’ll become worse if time goes on.”

“I know what I’m doing.”

It was given by Xiao Qi. That was why he cherished it deeply.

Mama Sheng took a glance at her son helplessly. Suddenly, she sympathized with Shen Ruoyi. She was a good girl. Unfortunately, she had fallen in love with Sheng Xiao. Now, she would be frightened to death.

Mu Qiqi did not inquire about Shen Ruoyi when she was at home. It was because she was rather lazy to do so.

They would always cling to each other when they were at home. Moreover, Sheng Xiao was an energetic man. He would enjoy a great moment with her from time to time at the different corners of the villa.

She was tired from the lessons she had in the morning. At night, she did not get to sleep well too. So, she did not have the time or energy to bother about Shen Ruoyi. Since Sheng Xiao claimed that he would take care of that issue, she would certainly relax and let him deal with it.

Mu Qiqi promised to have lunch with Lu Qianqian and Lin Mu’an that noon.

Lu Qianqian was filled with anger the minute she met Lin Mu’an. She appeared like she would swallow Lin Mu’an up any minute. However, Lin Mu’an smiled calmly and sat across from Lu Qianqian gracefully.

Sheng Xiao arrived at last and sat next to Mu Qiqi. Then, he placed his hand on her chair to declare ownership.

“Will they get into a fight?”

“Lu Qianqian could never beat him.” Sheng Xiao lowered his voice and replied to his little darling. Lin Mu’an came from a rich and powerful family. He could tackle Lu Qianqian easily.

“Miss Lu, am I that handsome? Why do you stare at me like that?” Lin Mu’an was bored. So, he teased Lu Qianqian directly.

Lu Qianqian slapped the table and got up. She pointed at Lin Mu’an. “When did I annoy you? Why did you replace me with someone else?”

“You know nothing about acting.”

“But, the one you chose is merely a beautiful girl. She knows nothing about acting too.” That was what Lu Qianqian was most frustrated about. Clearly, he was teasing her.

“It’s because she has the talent of acting!”

“I even have the talent of beating people up!”

“Moreover, not everyone could survive in the entertainment world. You’ll lose a lot of things if you become famous one day. You’ll lose your privacy and your personal space. What’s more important is that your past will be dug up. What do you think about your past? Will the others be able to accept it? If you’re twenty-six years old or thirty-six years old, it’ll be fine. But, you’re only eighteen years old. You’re abandoned and…when you’re only eighteen years old. This world is really not suitable for you.”

Lu Qianqian sat down after she heard what Lin Mu’an said. Her eyes soon became red. “Is that my fault?”

“You’re not wrong. But, that’s not what society thinks. You can go and do anything you want but don’t become somebody famous. You’re such a cute and beautiful girl.”

“Hmm…” Mu Qiqi realized what Lin Mu’an was trying to say all of a sudden. In fact, what he thought about was quite similar to her thoughts. They did not want Qianqian to be hurt.

But, the way he expressed himself was rather annoying.
