Chapter 179 is simply a drop in the ocean!
Yu Yuetong felt uneasy under his gaze, but still forced herself to remain calm and retorted, "President Qin, please have some self-respect! We are only engaged in a marriage of convenience, and you are acting like this..."
"A marriage of convenience?" Qin Reng sneered, suddenly reaching out to grab her chin, forcing her to look him in the eye. "Yu Yuetong, don't forget who threw themselves at me on our wedding night, and who professed to love me? Now you're talking to me about a marriage of convenience? Don't you find that ridiculous?"
Yu Yuetong was speechless, choked by his words. Ridiculous? It is quite ridiculous! She's using your body now, brother! Besides, compared to you, President Qin, the original owner's thoughts are utterly insignificant, okay?
She thought this in her heart, but dared not say it out loud. She was currently living under someone else's roof, relying on Qin Reng's body to make a living at the company. If she angered him and he kicked her out, wouldn't she be doomed?
Thinking of this, Yu Yuetong could only suppress her anger, force a smile, and say ingratiatingly, "President Qin, you've misunderstood! I was just..."
"Just what? Just unable to control yourself? Or is it unsatisfied desire?" Qin Reng interrupted her, his tone laced with sarcasm.
Yu Yuetong was furious at his "all-knowing" attitude, but there was nothing she could do. She took a deep breath, decided to give up explaining, and changed the subject directly: "President Qin, where are we going now?"
"Go to the company." Qin Reng released her chin, his tone returning to its usual coldness.
Yu Yuetong breathed a sigh of relief, but couldn't help but complain inwardly: Go to the company? What for? You're a big CEO, what are you doing going to the company for no reason? Can't you let a wage slave like me have a proper rest?
Qin Reng seemed to see through her thoughts, turned his head and glanced at her, his tone carrying a hint of warning: "I advise you to put away your little schemes. Don't forget, you are now my wife, and your every word and action represents the face of the Qin family!"
Yu Yuetong rolled her eyes inwardly, but had to put on a docile and obedient expression: "I understand, President Qin."
The car sped along and soon arrived at the headquarters of the Qin Group. Yu Yuetong followed Qin Reng into the company, attracting the attention of countless employees along the way.
"My God! Isn't that President Qin? Who's the woman next to him?"
"I don't know, I've never seen her before! Could she be the new secretary?"
"Impossible! Look at her attire and demeanor, does she look like a secretary? I bet she's some rich heiress dating President Qin!"
"Really? Hasn't President Qin always..."
The whispers of the employees reached Yu Yuetong's ears, making her inwardly scoff: Dating? Dating my foot! I'm a man now, dating your CEO Qin, the image is too beautiful, I can't even imagine it!
Just then, a familiar figure suddenly appeared before them.
"President Qin!" a sweet, delicate voice rang out.
Yu Yuetong looked up and saw the supporting actress Ji Momo standing not far away. Her professional suit accentuated her shapely figure, and she wore exquisite makeup with a perfectly placed smile on her lips. She looked both capable and charming.
"Manager Ji, what are you doing here?" Qin Reng stopped and asked with a slight frown.
“I…” Ji Momo bit her lip, seemingly hesitant, “I heard that President Qin is coming to the company today, so I specially waited for you here and wanted to report on my work.”
"Reporting on work?" Qin Reng raised an eyebrow, a hint of doubt in his tone. "What kind of work requires you to come all the way to the company gate to report on it?"
“I…” Ji Momo’s face turned pale, and she stammered, unable to speak.
Yu Yuetong watched this scene from the side, her mind immediately on high alert. According to the original plot, Ji Momo should already be in love with "herself" by now. Her deliberate appearance here—could it be that she wants to…?
Thinking of this, Yu Yuetong suddenly felt a chill run from the soles of her feet to the top of her head. No! She absolutely couldn't let her succeed!
“President Qin,” Yu Yuetong suddenly spoke, interrupting Ji Momo, “I suddenly remembered that I have something to tell you. Let’s go to your office to talk.”
After saying that, before Qin Reng could react, she grabbed his arm and pulled him toward the elevator.
Qin Reng was taken aback by her sudden action and subconsciously wanted to shake off her hand, but when he met her clear eyes, he paused slightly and finally let her pull him into the elevator.
As Ji Momo watched the two figures disappear into the distance, a sinister glint flashed in her eyes…
The atmosphere inside the elevator was somewhat awkward.
Yu Yuetong could feel the oppressive aura emanating from Qin Reng, which almost solidified the small space. She secretly glanced at the man beside her and saw that his thin lips were tightly pressed together, his cold profile seemed to be covered with a layer of frost, and his deep eyes were staring at the constantly changing numbers, as if he was thinking about something.
"Um... Manager Ji seems to really like you." Yu Yuetong tried to break the suffocating silence by making conversation.
Qin Reng turned to look at her, his eyes icy cold: "So?"
Yu Yuetong felt a chill run down her spine from his gaze, but she still forced herself to continue, "So... you should stay away from her from now on."
"Why should I stay away from her?" Qin Reng raised an eyebrow, his tone carrying a hint of danger.
Yu Yuetong was speechless when he asked her that question. She couldn't very well say that she knew Ji Momo would turn evil in the original story and kill the original owner, could she?
"I... I just feel like she has ulterior motives towards you, and I'm afraid she might do something to harm you." Yu Yuetong had no choice but to make up an excuse.
"Unreasonable ambitions?" Qin Reng sneered. "Her? She doesn't even deserve it!"
Yu Yuetong: "..."
Okay, she was overthinking it. With Qin Reng's arrogant personality, how could he possibly be interested in someone like Ji Momo?
The elevator quickly reached the top floor, and Qin Reng strode out, with Yu Yuetong following closely behind.
"Mr. Qin, you've arrived." Qin Reng's secretary, Lisa, immediately stood up to greet him upon seeing him.
"Hmm." Qin Reng responded lightly, then turned to Lisa and said, "Go and call Manager Ji over, I need to speak with her."
Yu Yuetong: "..."
Seriously? Is this man born a donkey? How come he holds grudges?
Although Lisa didn't know why Qin Reng wanted to see Ji Momo, she still respectfully responded and then turned around to go out and make a phone call.
"You..." Yu Yuetong was about to speak to stop him, but Qin Reng glared at her and shut her up.
"Shut up! Do your job, and don't worry about the rest!" Qin Reng said coldly.
Yu Yuetong dared not speak her anger, and could only roll her eyes inwardly: Fine, fine, you're the president, you call the shots!
After a while, Ji Momo knocked on the door and came in. When she saw Yu Yuetong there, a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes, but she quickly regained her composure.
"President Qin, you wanted to see me?" Ji Momo walked to the desk and asked softly.
