C81 Disillusionment

Lin Yinyin's face instantly turned burning hot, her eyes turning slightly red. "I'm sorry, Mister Shen."

Shen Ye An didn't even give her a glance. He could only leave with his plate.

Her nails almost dug into her flesh as the surrounding people looked at her with schadenfreude. She had no choice but to find a new position with a smile.

The jealousy in her heart deepened bit by bit. Why was it that she could sit together with Mr. Shen and talk and laugh with him? She was simply going crazy with jealousy.

Qiao Xi helplessly lowered her head to move the dishes on her plate. Shen Yeyan's arrival was equivalent to focusing the attention of others here. With a glance, she saw many people looking at her and discussing in hushed tones.

"You don't like the food today?"

On Shen Yeyan's plate were mostly sour and sweet dishes. On the other hand, Qiao Xi liked to eat spicy dishes. She shook her head and said, "No, Teacher Shen is coming to the cafeteria today. The higher-ups are at a loss about what to do."

He snorted. "It's nothing."

"So why did you visit the cafeteria today?"

"The entire Shen family is mine, I can go wherever I want."

Qiao Xi was at a loss for words for this domineering reason. She slowly stirred the soup in her bowl, when suddenly, another person stood in front of her. She turned her head to see Shen Ye Ling standing there with a smile on his face.

"You don't mind adding me, right?"

Without waiting for them to speak, Shen Ye Ling sat down in a row with Shen Yeyan. Both of them wore white shirts, and Shen Ye Ling's figure appeared slim. Adding to his feminine features, he lacked a manly air.

Qiao Xi recalled the mineral water from last time and his impression of Shen Ye Ling immediately dropped to the bottom. When he sat down, he was speechless.

Shen Ye Ling's gaze swept over the two of them and said, "Second brother, it's rare for you to be in the mood to come to the cafeteria to eat today."

"Unlike Big Brother who sets an example every day, I'm afraid I'm already tired of eating the food in the cafeteria."

How could he not understand Shen Yeyan's mockery of his hypocrisy?

"Second brother doesn't know, the food in the cafeteria is different every day."

"Since you like it so much, you'll eat in the cafeteria for the rest of your life."

"That would be my honor too."

"I'm just afraid that big brother won't get the chance."

Shen Ye An sneered. Shen Ye Ling's smile remained the same as he deliberately poked his foot, "I'm afraid Second Brother has been troubled recently. Didn't the shareholders of the new energy vehicle put pressure on him?"

"Big Bro cares a lot about it. You still have to look at the pot while eating."

"We're all family, it's normal to be concerned."

"You don't even know your last name, family?"

Qiao Xi, who was silently eating, suddenly raised her head. The light in her eyes revealed her emotions.

"No matter what my previous surname was, my surname is now Shen. You are next to me in the household register."

"You're lying to yourself."

Qiao Xi took advantage of their battle of words to quickly eat a few mouthfuls of rice. After she hastily finished eating, she immediately left with the plate. Her appearance of slipping away entered Shen Yeyan's eyes, making him feel even more disgusted with Shen Ye Ling's arrival.

"Is Second Brother really in love now that he's recovered?"

"Big brother is still more concerned about his marriage."

"I don't need you to worry. You should worry about yourself. After all, your marriage is related to the entire Shen family."

Shen Yeyan barely ate anything as he left with his plate.

The company's upper echelons were surrounding them. Occasionally, they would glance at the two brothers. Rumor has it that the two of them were at odds before, but now, it seemed to be true.

Qiao Xi wasn't full and directly went downstairs to buy a hamburger. Lin Yinyin followed her all the way from the cafeteria and went into the elevator with her.

"Miss Qiao also came downstairs?"

"Mm, I need to buy something."

"What a coincidence, me too."

Qiao Xi swept his gaze over Lin Yin's smiling face, his heart full of caution.

If she wasn't wrong, Lin Yeyin might have liked Shen Yeyan, but Shen Yeyan didn't like her, so he placed her in front of her.

When the elevator reached downstairs, Qiao Xi was the first to exit. Lin Yinyin followed behind her, looking at the ordinary looking girl. Envy shot to her head. There were only a few steps in front of her, and she wished she could push her down.

She immediately turned around to look, only to see that she was about to fall down and pounce on her. Behind her was the step, and her body immediately leaned slightly to the side as Lin Yinyin's body slammed into her side. Qiao Xi tried to stabilize his body and pull her back, but the force of her charge was too great.

She looked at Qiao Xi running down the stairs. This was completely different from what she had expected; she wanted to smash her down, make her suffer, and make her lose face.

Lin Yinyin's suit was dirty, the ground was covered in mud, all of it stained her suit. Her legs were in so much pain that she could barely stand properly.

"Secretary Lin, are you alright?"

"I'm fine."

Qiao Xi saw her expression. If she hadn't turned slightly sideways just now, she would have been the one knocked off the stage. She felt a burst of fear in her heart, then looked at Secretary Lin's Zou Ba's face.

"Let me help you back."

"No need."

Lin Yinyin's heart was filled with unwillingness. She actually didn't plan for any success and instead went back limping in her high heels. She was in such a sorry state that she didn't want anyone else to see her. She pushed Qiao Xi away and went back first.

Qiao Xi gazed at her swiftly leaving figure, his heart full of thought.

After Secretary Lin left, Qiao Xi looked at her dirty clothes and wiped it a few times before going to the opposite side to buy a hamburger. When she returned to the office, she suddenly saw Shen Yeyan sitting on a chair behind her desk with a satisfied expression. She quickly closed the door and frowned at him.

"Why are you here?"

"Buy me a burger when you know I'm not full?"

Qiao Xi held the hamburger in her hand. It would be hard for her not to give him face.

"Eat."

Shen Yeyan took the food in big gulps, but continued sitting on the chair without moving. He glanced at the mud on her clothes and asked sharply, "What happened to your clothes?"

"I'm fine."

"He fell?"

Qiao Xi saw the scene of Lin Yinyin falling down the stairs. It was extremely thrilling. "It's not me, it's Secretary Lin."

"You were together just now?"

"Yes."

The speed at which Shen Yeyan was chewing on the hamburger slowed down and the light in his eyes turned slightly.
