Chapter 108: Chapter 108 Not Really Recognizing

Early on Monday morning, Yang Chen habitually left half an hour early and headed to the West District market to buy breakfast. This allowed him to arrive at the company on time, taking advantage of the relatively unclogged roads.

As he entered the lobby of the Public Relations Department, a group of well-dressed PR girls were already eagerly awaiting him, their eyes fixed on Yang Chen like hungry tigresses eyeing a fat lamb.

"Yang gege, you finally arrived! I've been feeling so empty without the breakfast you bring!" one exclaimed.

"Quick, give it to me, give it to me, my soup dumplings!" another demanded.

Several girls had already learned to approach Yang Chen to grab his breakfast. It pleased Yang Chen to be surrounded by a group of fragrant women; it was a wonderful treatment not every man could enjoy!

As usual, Zhang Cai, the one who ate the most, grabbed the most. She tore open the bag and immediately stuffed a bun into her mouth. Her chubby lips moved rhythmically, distorting her round face slightly, lacking any semblance of ladylike demeanor as she asked between bites, "Yang Chen, I feel like you've spoiled my appetite. Now, even the breakfast at home tastes bland."

Beside her, a close friend teased, "Cai Cai, I don't think it's just breakfast that's bland for you anymore. Even your man at home must feel bland, right? Why not stick with Yang Chen? He feeds you so well every day, filling your stomach and perhaps other things too."

The conversation took a flirtatious turn. Zhang Cai blushed and pinched the back of her friend's hand. "What nonsense are you talking about! Unlike you, I'm not a lonely spinster, completely empty inside!"

"Who are you kidding? With your figure, at your age, you're not far from those lusty years. Your husband, who looks like a monkey, a university professor, always holding onto his books, how can he satisfy you?" The friend retorted skeptically.

Zhang Cai pouted, unable to come up with a response.

"So, Zhang Cai, your husband is a university professor?" Yang Chen chimed in, surprised. "I never knew that. You ended up marrying a university professor."

"My senior in college, he was quite nice to me. I was a bit absent-minded and ended up marrying him," Zhang Cai explained, rolling her eyes.

At that moment, Liu Mingyu, dressed in a purple suit, gracefully approached, holding a cup of coffee. Her eyes wandered as she said, "We were all quite shocked when Zhang Cai got married. It was like a joke to her; she just decided to get married on a whim."

Zhang Cai stuck out her tongue and continued eating her bun without saying anything.

After chatting with the girls for a while, Yang Chen returned to his seat, opened his computer, and began munching on his fried dough stick.

Normally, Zhao Hongyan would be the first to arrive, but today, Yang Chen felt a bit uneasy as the beautiful female colleague hadn't shown up yet.

Just as he thought about it, Zhao Hongyan's familiar figure appeared at the door. She was wearing a pale pink chiffon shirt, with a delicate pearl necklace hanging around her neck. Her hair was slightly curled, concealing some of her voluptuous figure but exuding a newfound gracefulness.

As soon as she entered, Zhao Hongyan, slightly out of breath, addressed everyone, "Did anyone see the man outside the main entrance just now?"

"A man? Which man?" Several girls asked in confusion. "Hongyan, you're already married, why are you thinking about men?"

"What are you talking about! It's that man who was shouting outside, dressed in tattered clothes," Zhao Hongyan hurriedly clarified.

A familiar voice came from the crowd, which gradually parted. Mo Qianyi, wearing a light blue knitted coat, a white camisole, and a tight black skirt, walked in with an unfriendly expression. Her delicate face was now frosty as she stared straight at the fallen Zhang Fugui, sneering, "You say I'm heartless? That I bullied you?"

Zhang Fugui seemed to be afraid of Mo Qianyi's cold expression. He stepped back slightly, but forced himself to continue, "Y-yes... that's how it is! Do you think I wouldn't dare say it?"

"Fine, since you dare to say it, then I'll really have to bully you a bit." With that, Mo Qianyi approached and her high-heeled foot suddenly stomped on Zhang Fugui's thigh!

"Ahh!"

The sharp heel pierced Zhang Fugui's thigh flesh, causing him to faint from the pain!

The people present were all shocked. None of them had expected Mo Qianni to be so straightforward right from the start, using such a ruthless method to deal with this unfamiliar man. Looking at Mo Qianni's gaze with a hint of fear, it seemed as if they didn't recognize her anymore.

Mo Qianni withdrew her foot, and the heel was already stained with red blood, dripping onto the ground, appearing grim and cruel.

At this moment, the female staff from the Public Relations Department also rushed to the scene. Seeing this scene, they all exclaimed in disbelief, as if they couldn't believe Mo Qianni would do such a thing.

Mo Qianni's cold gaze swept over the crowd, finally fixing on Yang Chen's face, revealing a mysterious and charming smile. She walked up to Yang Chen, her breath fragrant, and asked, "Yang Chen, are you alright? This crazy dog bites people randomly. If you were bitten, I would feel sorry for you."

This sentence wasn't said lightly. After hearing it, the people present became even more convinced of one thing—there was something going on between Yang Chen and Mo Qianni!

Yang Chen smiled faintly and pointed to Zhao Hongyan, who was closest and looked shocked, asking, "Minister Mo, do you know her?"

Mo Qianni's expression changed slightly. She glanced at Zhao Hongyan and giggled, "Hate it when you bring up other women."

The Mo Qianni in front of them emitted an unprecedented charm, but Yang Chen wasn't in the mood to appreciate it. He shook his head and sighed, "I think we should find a place where there's nobody around to talk properly. What do you say?"

"Alright, follow me," Mo Qianni agreed readily, leading the way towards the parking lot.

As Yang Chen followed Mo Qianni away from the scene, the staff present looked at each other in confusion and began discussing.

Zhang Cai, puzzled, asked the people around her, "What's wrong with Minister Mo? It's like she's a different person. Also, when did she and Yang Chen get together? Doesn't Yang Chen have a wife?"

"I don't know, it's strange. I don't even recognize her anymore," another female staff member agreed, nodding.

"The things they said are all so strange."

Zhao Hongyan found it particularly bewildering and asked Liu Mingyu beside her, "Sister Mingyu, why does Minister Mo not recognize me as if she's pretending?"

Liu Mingyu frowned, pondered for a moment, and shook her head, saying, "Doesn't seem like it. I feel like she genuinely doesn't recognize you..."
