Problematic Little Sister Fell In Love With Me-Chapter 402 - Mo Fei’s Test

Ziyuan walked slowly, seemingly knowing that I would follow her, or maybe she wanted me to follow her. However, when I caught up with her, she didn’t say anything. I felt like I should be the one to break the silence, but after thinking for a long time, I asked a very stupid question, “How… How do you feel now? Does it still hurt?”

Ziyuan did not react immediately. She turned her head and looked at me in confusion, “Hurt? Where?”

I couldn’t help but blush. “There… I mean, feet, didn’t you sprain your feet?”

Although I said it like this, the area I was looking at was clearly not her feet. Her face turned red in the next second. Clearly, she knew what I was asking now. “No…” She answered in a voice that was so quiet like it was made by a mosquito.

Unable to bear the embarrassment, she blocked her face with a document and said with a slightly annoyed tone, “Xiao Nan, why do you still ask dumb questions like when you were a kid? Do you not know that you shouldn’t ask this question to a girl?”

I chuckled wryly, “You are also the same. You know you shouldn’t answer my dumb question, but you still did.”

Ziyuan’s footsteps suddenly stopped, and we looked at each other again. Although we still have embarrassed expressions on our faces, we couldn’t help but smile. Clearly, we both remembered some interesting things in the past.

In the past, when we went to school together, every time I felt that Ziyuan didn’t look well, I would not be able to help but ask her if she was on her period. And although Ziyuan would feel extremely embarrassed every time, she would still nod her head or shake her head to answer me…

At this moment, we both felt as if we came back to the good old days when we went to school together.

However, what was past was past, and we could not change reality. Ziyuan smiled bitterly and asked me, “About the party tonight… I’m sorry if it causes you any trouble.”

“No, you didn’t,” I said insincerely because my original plan was to have dinner with the Shu family tonight.

“Actually, I didn’t want to go to dinner with them, but… those people almost started a fight because of this. I’m worried that your friend Yang Wei will get into trouble, so I…”

“I understand,” I nodded and asked, “Why are you telling me this?”

“Because you know I don’t like this kind of occasion, and you also know why they wanted to invite me. I didn’t want you to think that I wanted to accept their invitation.” Ziyuan lowered her head and said, “In that way, you will be more worried about me.”

After she said that, she speeded up and walked straight into Mo Fei’s office, leaving me standing there in a daze.

‘Ziyuan, do you want me to stop worrying about you?’

Compared with the Ziyuan who left five years ago, the current Ziyuan was more like the Ziyuan I used to know. And unlike Ziyuan who didn’t want to leave, the Ziyuan who wanted to let go made me even more uneasy.

I had already missed it once. I did not want to miss it again.

Due to the postponement of other new investments and the preparation for the project with the Third Lady, the investment department’s business had plummeted recently. Mo Fei also seemed to have more free time because of this, and instead of reading documents, she was reading a novel in the office. When I walked in, she was hiding a book called “How to Capture a Man’s Heart” under the table. It was not that I didn’t knock, but Ziyuan didn’t close the door after she entered.

Mo Fei originally wanted to show the name of the novel to Ziyuan deliberately, but she didn’t expect that I would come into the office right after Ziyuan.

“I’ve been asking you to come to the company for two days. You’ve finally come here once,” said Mo Fei as she got up. Not only did she walk toward me, but she also pushed me toward her seat. “Sit down, there’s something I must tell you before you find out about it and then get angry at me.”

There was only one chair in the office. But she, who was my superior, wanted me to sit in her chair? And she wanted me to sit in her chair in front of Ziyuan? No matter how naive Ziyuan was, she would still know what it meant.

So I couldn’t sit down at all. Turning around, I took the opportunity and pressed her to sit down, “What is it?”

Mo Fei was a smart woman. Seeing that I refused to sit in her chair, she also didn’t insist on it. But she still showed a triumphant smile to me as if she wanted to tell me that she was doing it on purpose because she wanted Ziyuan to see it. As expected by Mo Yizhi, that old fox, she was very suspicious about my relationship with Ziyuan.

“It’s about Zhu Danchen’s school…”

“Ms. Mo, since you are going to talk about business, I will leave the document here.” Ziyuan was a person who didn’t know how to conceal her emotions well. Feeling the hostility from Mo Fei, she left the documents on the desk with an unnatural smile on her face.

“No,” Mo Fei said with a smile, “it’s not business. You and Chu Nan have been friends since childhood, so you can also hear it. If he gets angry at me later, you can also help me and be a peacemaker, hehe.”

All women were curious, so Ziyuan nodded after a few moments of hesitation.

“Do you remember the day that my uncle asked me to come back to the company early because he had an appointment with Lawyer Guan?”

“Mhm,” I said, “Then you invited Zhu Danchen to the company. Is there a connection between these two things?”

“Of course,” Mo Fei made two cups of tea personally like a sensible wife and passed them to Ziyuan and me, “What I want to tell you now is the connection between these two things…”

I took the cup and instinctively wanted to take a sip, but then I saw a lipstick mark clearly printed on the rim of the cup. ‘What’s this?’ Raising my head in confusion, I noticed that Ziyuan was staring at my cup.

I didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. In the eyes of others, Mo Fei was mature, steady, and as cold as ice. But in some areas, she was so childish…

I didn’t dare to drink the tea anymore. I had a strong feeling that if I used Mo Fei’s cup, Ziyuan would be very unhappy. So I just held the teacup and carried on listening to what Mo Fei said.

As I and Liusu expected, Mo Yizhi intentionally donated money to Zhu Danchen’s school and confessed to Mo Fei that he wanted to use this method to keep me in the company. Five million was not a small amount. It was enough to build a new school.

There were two main reasons why Mo Yizhi made an appointment with Lawyer Guan. Firstly, some legal procedures would need to be explained to Zhu Danchen clearly. Secondly, because Zhu Danchen didn’t know some hidden rules when dealing with some relevant government departments, she was regarded as a thorn in the flesh by many government officials, so Mo Yizhi asked Lawyer Guan to speak to these relevant departments. To put it bluntly, he wanted those departments to know that Zhu Danchen’s backer was Fengchang Group, so if there was any problem, they could speak to Fengchang.

Yao Wan’er went to school with me and Xiao Yike that day not entirely because she was curious about Ku’er, but because Mo Fei had asked her in advance that she needed to visit that school and make a rough budget estimate. The investment department was not busy at the moment, that was why Mo Fei gave this task to Yao Wan’er.

I told Mo Fei that since I had promised to stay in Fengchang until the project with the Third Lady was over, there was no need for the Chairman to do this. But Mo Fei said that this was exactly the reason why she didn’t want to tell me in advance because she knew that I would not accept the donation.

I didn’t know what I was to Ziyuan. But I knew that Ziyua didn’t like to see Mo Fei being so close to me, because there was an obvious resentment in her eyes.
