The Maid's Rise to Be a President's Wife-Chapter 199: The Real Him
Chapter 199 - The Real Him
It was almost five o'clock when they returned to the Perfetto Building. Yiren nodded at the receptionists who were staring at her as a way of greeting.
"Who is she? I've never seen her before," Lan Miao asked Xia Kexin.
"I don't know either. Finally, we've seen a beautiful girl who can compare with the president's fiancée!" Before this, the most beautiful girl they had seen was Tang Rui.
"Do you think she could be Assistant Dongfang's girlfriend?" Because the one who went out with Assistant Dongfang before was the new president's secretary, and now a different girl came back with him.
"I don't think so," Xia Kexin said.
The receptionists whispered and gossiped among themselves. One of the great pleasures of working here was that they could often see extremely handsome men and beautiful women.
On the top floor,
Yiren felt like an animal in a zoo being watched by Ji Minze, and she was very uncomfortable!
Looking at the real her, Ji Minze remembered the scene when they went to have snacks together, and he even borrowed a hundred yuan from her!
"The real you is much more pleasing to the eye," Ji Minze said, looking at Yiren.
"The real you isn't like this either," Yiren said bravely to Ji Minze. She still wasn't used to treating him as her superior. The real him had eyes that showed a hint of melancholy. She had truly felt that from his eyes when he was drunk that one time. But now, when she looked at him, all she saw was a calmness that was almost cold.
"What's the real me like?" Ji Minze asked, the corner of his mouth lifting. Hadn't he always been like this? He had never deliberately pretended anything like she did.
"Forget I said that," Yiren said, changing her mind. She had originally wanted to tell him that his current coldness was just a disguise, a disguise to make him seem strong! In fact, he might be so vulnerable that he couldn't even face reality!

"Okay! But please remember, I hired you as my secretary, not to study my psychology," Ji Minze didn't delve deeper into it and just said this. Before leaving Ji Minze's office, Yiren actually added a fearless sentence, "The real you is much cuter than you are now!"
As soon as Yiren said that, she closed the door. This time, she had the audacity to provoke the tiger on her first day as his secretary.
Ji Minze looked at the closed door and fell into deep thought.
When did his personality start to change?
Was it when he witnessed his sister Ji Qianhe's car accident at the age of seven, and she bled profusely and died right beside him?
Or was it when his mother left home because of this, and then he was brought back to the Ji family, and there were two women who often called him a bastard?
Or was it when his mother attempted suicide and fell into a coma when he was ten?
Or perhaps it was because of Tang Lei's mysterious disappearance that completely broke him down.
Tang Lei suddenly lost all contact less than two months after going to study in the UK. The school also sent a message saying that Tang Lei hadn't attended classes for a week. So the Tang family, the Cheng family, and the Ji family all searched for her simultaneously, but Tang Lei seemed to have vanished into thin air and never had any news again. He found that every girl related to him would experience misfortune. Sometimes he even felt that he was unlucky, so since then, he had closed himself off, afraid to love others and unwilling to let others fall in love with him.
Later, when his father suggested that he be with Tang Rui, he didn't object because she was the only girl who had remained safe by his side so far.
Since then, Ji Minze had smiled a lot less. It was difficult for him to find a way to truly relax until he met Yiren! She was like a rainbow after the rain, driving away the haze in his heart and allowing him to be his true self, not the president of Longteng International or any other identity.
