Chapter 9 Today You Ignore Me

Other than his rumored fiancée, what else could it be for?

A few days ago, a woman suddenly parachuted in to become a senior executive of the company. Everyone was speculating that she was the grand madame predetermined by the Leng Family.

Now, Leng Sichen was spending all day with this woman, and she had even lost the advantage of Jinshui Loutai.

What made her most nervous and scared was that, based on her understanding of Leng Sichen, she knew from the first glance at Bai Qianning that this woman was Leng Sichen's ideal type.

The enemy was too powerful; this time, she really feared she was doomed!

Leng Sichen was startled, his face softened a bit, but suddenly, as if thinking of something, his expression darkened again. "Who were you with last night?"

Xia Yuxun's eyes flickered. "I... I was alone..."

Leng Sichen's fingers rhythmically tapped on the door frame. "Tell the truth."

Xia Yuxun swallowed. "Really... really... really alone... ah damn..."

How tragic, she stuttered again!

Xia Yuxun felt despair within herself and could only droop her head, answering honestly, "At first I was alone. Then a friend happened by, saw me drunk as a skunk, and not knowing my home, he took me to stay at a hotel overnight."

"A friend?" Leng Sichen easily seized on the key point; if it was just going to a bar for a drink, she didn't need to be this nervous.

"Um..." Xia Yuxun mumbled, praying he would not continue questioning.

Unfortunately, contrary to her wishes.

"A man?" Leng Sichen asked again.

"Yes..." she reluctantly nodded.

"Ou Mingxuan," Leng Sichen spat out a name with absolute certainty.

At that name, Xia Yuxun internally wailed; could this guy perform Mind Reading Technique?

Xia Yuxun gave up struggling and confessed to lessen her burden: "I didn't expect to run into him either; it was an encounter purely by chance! I just don't understand, why do you always have a bias against him? My senior is actually a very nice person..."

Leng Sichen's face immediately darkened, "Nice person? How long have you known him? Do you really know what kind of person he is?"

"What does how long we've known each other have to do with it? I've known you for twenty years, so what? I still can't figure you out! Twenty years of storming through together. Even iron rods can be ground to powder, don't you feel anything for me? Not even a moment where you find me cute! Stupidly cute would also do!"

Leng Sichen rubbed his forehead and after a long while, he raised his head, his face as cold and hard as stone. "Back when you interviewed for the company, who adamantly asked me to be fair and impartial, not to let personal feelings affect professional decisions? Xia Yuxun, I've already said all that needs to be said; if you continue to bring personal emotions into work, leave the company immediately. I don't need a subordinate who cannot separate personal affairs from professional duties."

If she hadn't made that declaration at the start, how could he have possibly given her the opportunity to join the company? Yet now he was using her own words to block her way.

Xia Yuxun, hurt by his cold and distant words, teared up, "Fine, I'll go! Leng Sichen, what's so great about you! You just rely on the fact that I like you! I'll tell you, today you ignore me, but tomorrow..."

"What about tomorrow?" The man's distant eyes lifted slightly, his handsome face against the light tinged with a cool shade of black.

Xia Yuxun's throat choked, her eyes welled up with tears; the words about to erupt turned sharply, "Tomorrow... tomorrow will be cloudy with a shift from southern wind, temperature between 10~15 degrees Celsius. Make sure to dress warmly..."

Leng Sichen: "..."
