"In the world full of choices, I have only you!" *** Excerpt: “Marry me!” At the commanding voice, Yun Meiyi turned around with a scowl. And there he was with a face sculpted by the best artists in heaven and a body designed to torture the most defying soul in hell, he looked like any male, she had fantasized about, while reading the romantic novels. But there was something in his impeccable beauty that cautioned her against him. As if it was the call of heaven asking her to reject him straight away. “Look for someone else, I am not interested.” She said and then turned away, finding his words meaninglessly arrogant. But just as she turned, his warning came teasingly, “Are you sure you want to defy me?” Her frown deepened as she turned to ask, “What’s so special about defying you? Are you a lord of some kingdom whom one can’t defy?” The man’s lips curled up in a devilish smirk that looked like a part of his nature. “Even better. I am the Prince of Darkness. The Devil of this universe.” *** She was a human... He was the Devil of the Universe! She was betrayed... He could be called anything that meant deceit! She was poisoned ... While his existence was on stake! Without their knowledge, their fates were intertwined. Making her, his only Survival choice!! ______________ Update Schedule: Monday, Wednesday & Friday.

Yun Meiyi ignored his question and turned to look back at Wang Ping Ruo who was all stupefied at her presence. "Vice President Wen, I have read that Feathering Heights was established with an aim to bring fairness in the unfair world of the entertainment industry. So, did I say wrong that you cannot assure Wang Ping Ruo about these things? I mean no one knows how things will end up after the investigation is done."
She said before darting her gaze meaningfully at Cheng Juan, who was gritting her teeth while glaring at her. "Manager Cheng, correct me if I am wrong. I am sure with your expertise and experience in Feathering Heights, you know this better than anyone else."
"Yun Meiyi, have you not learned your manners? You can't eavesdrop on others." Cheng Juan spoke in a menacing voice but in response to her fury, Yun Meiyi simply smiled.
Then looking at the door and door frame, she nonchalantly shrugged her shoulders. "Not particularly as manners aren't needed everywhere. Sometimes behaving on one's instinct is also fine." She said and Cheng Juan's brows furrowed at her airy response.
"What do you mean?"
Yun Meiyi gestured to her to look at the door as she continued, "Manager Cheng, why are you looking at the trivial thing? I was simply talking about the door. Since the door wasn't closed and my ears were working properly, I overheard the things while walking here."
"And why do you have to walk here, Manager Yun?" Wen Jiang couldn't help but interrupt. The woman had just entered the company and he knew very little about her. Seeing her having influence over the higher-ups, he can't dare to underestimate her now.
Yun Meiyi quirked her brows slightly before turning to look at the man. Although it wasn't visible to eyes, still she could sense his guards up against her. And she was impressed because she never took him to be witted enough to guess her position so easily.
"I was here for you Vice President Wen. I went looking for you in your office but then heard someone say that you might have come to soothe Wang Ping Ruo's stirred emotion since she was crying after she left the meeting room. So, I followed you here."
She said, and Weng Jiang was at once embarrassed at her words. Although his affair with Wang Ping Ruo was known all around the company, none ever dared to point it out bluntly on his face. And he never expected that to happen.
But today, not just it happened; it happened so righteously that he didn't even think that he held a position to refute it. He must say the woman was truly efficient in her words and intentions. More than any he has met in his life.
"Wang Ping Ruo is one of our best artiste here. We have to look after her well. So, I just came here to take a look. Please don't overthink it, Manager Yun." He said, and Yun Meiyi simply shook her head while giving a shrug of her shoulders.
"I would never. After all, I have heard how loving husband and dedicated professional you are." Yun Meiyi said and her words held both meaning and sarcasm laced to them.
Wen Jiang's expression changed, but still holding his calm, he gave a small smile before asking yet again, "You said you were looking for me. Was there something?"
Yun Meiyi paused for a moment but then nodding, she said, "President Li has asked you to his office. So, I came to just inform you about that."
The Vice President nodded before coughing a little and tucking his hands into his pocket. "Then I will leave first. You can look around the company since you would be soon joining here." He said and left after seeing Meiyi give a nod of understanding.
While when Yun Meiyi turned back into the room, there was no change in the expression of Wang Ping Ruo and Cheng Juan. They were still looking at her begrudgingly.
But Yun Meiyi didn't mind their looks. Simply putting up a smile, she thought to leave as well. "Then I will also get going. Please enjoy the rest of your day." She said and was about to turn to leave when heard the coarse and real voice of Wang Ping Ruo. To be honest, she could say that her voice could easily pierce one's eardrums.
"Do you think you would be able to sustain here for long?"
Yun Meiyi turned to raise her brows at the woman. "Sorry, but could you care to explain what do you mean by that?"
"Yun Meiyi, you might have the upper hand today. But this won't last long. Do you really think you can get everything just by having a good backup?"
Yun Meiyi was quite amused at her words. Although she had an urge to laugh at her advanced thought, she still held it back to say with nonchalance, "If you can, then why can't I?"
"You …"
"Manager Cheng, did you not teach your artiste the hierarchy in the organization. She is still sounding like she doesn't know who holds a greater position here." Before Wang Ping Ruo could say more, Meiyi turned to look at Cheng Juan with a small sneer.
"Manager Yun, we all can guess your connection with the CEO to have him agree to your words instantly. But don't you think you should not make it too obvious." Cheng Juan felt an urge to wipe off the smirk from the face of the woman. But seeing the Vice President holding the distance earlier, she dare not overstep her boundaries as well.
Rotten minds will always have foul thoughts.
Yun Meiyi was not surprised to hear their running assumption. But she was also not in the mood to explain anything. So, thinking to leave them with their assumptions, she spoke, "Why should I care? People's thoughts are not my concern. As for my relationship with the CEO, it is also not anyone's concern."
"You …"
"Manager Yun, you are here?" Suddenly a voice paused everyone. While Li Teng came to stand behind Yun Meiyi, Cheng Juan and Wang Ping Ruo quickly stood up to greet him.
"President Li!"
"President Li!"
They said simultaneously while Yun Meiyi stood there all nonchalant. Her stance didn't waver even at the sudden appearance of Li Teng. And her confident attitude like that even stunned the two other women.
"It was nothing, President Li. I came here simply to greet Manager Cheng since I will be joining here from tomorrow." Yun Meiyi said and her words baffled Cheng Juan immediately.
Didn't she clearly say that she was here to look for Vice President Wen? Was she lying at that time?
Taking it as her assumption, Cheng Juan didn't give a second thought before asking, "Manager Yun, what are you saying? Didn't you say that you were here to call Vice President Wen on the orders of President Li? Were you lying earlier on the name of President Li?"
She said and Yun Meiyi quirked her brow. It was not hard for her to say what she was intending to do.
How childish!
