In an instant, Lin Wanqin’s face flushed crimson, spreading down to her neck. She hurriedly said, "Ye... Luo, don’t, this isn’t the place..."

"Don’t worry so much, no one will find out, and I’ve already said, you are my woman, think of that apartment as my betrothal gift to you, you don’t need to overthink it."

Upon hearing the word ’betrothal gift’, Lin Wanqin’s face turned even redder, and she whispered, "We really aren’t suitable."

"In my eyes, there’s no such thing as suitable or not. As long as I, Ye Luo, have decided, then it is suitable, and since you are my first woman, I won’t give up on you. As for Ling Qingya, don’t concern yourself too much with her."

Ye Luo rested his head on Lin Wanqin’s fragrant shoulder, intoxicated by the gentle scent wafting from her hair.

Lin Wanqin, on the other hand, turned even more crimson from Ye Luo’s intimacy, trying to wriggle out of his embrace, unable to free herself from his arms, her eyes brimming with shyness.

"You and that Shi Yanran..."

"Rest assured, there’s nothing going on between us, I’m just pretending to be her boyfriend for a bit."

As Ye Luo spoke, a mischievous smile curved upon his lips as he looked at Li Wanqin and said, "Are you jealous?"

Suddenly, Lin Wanqin’s face blushed even deeper, like a ripe peach, as she quickly responded, "Not at all, you’re mistaken. Even if I were jealous, it’s not my place to be."

Lin Wanqin’s last sentence was laced with a hint of sorrow...

A smile appeared on Ye Luo’s face, as he turned Lin Wanqin to face him and earnestly said, "What I’ve said is true, I really like you. Even if you wanted the stars in the sky or the moon above the sea, I would find a way to get them for you!"

"Ye Luo... I’m not worth your affection..."

"Shut up! There’s no talk of worthiness, the woman that I, Ye Luo, set my eyes on is the best woman in the world!" Ye Luo said assertively.

Tears welled up in Lin Wanqin’s eyes as she gently hugged Ye Luo, deeply moved.

Dingling-ling!

Suddenly, a crisp ring of the telephone shattered the tender atmosphere, causing the two to jerk apart as if shocked by electricity. Lin Wanqin’s face was flushed, her eyes shimmering with tears, her expression a mix of shyness and annoyance, captivating in an instant.

Ye Luo inwardly cursed, "That guy has no eyes, calling at this time. Maybe I could’ve taken things a step further, but now it’s all ruined."

With an inward rant, Ye Luo picked up the phone in the office.

"Hello, Secretary Zhou?"

"Oh, the President is looking for me, I got it."

Ye Luo nodded and quickly hung up the phone.

"Is Qing Ya looking for you?"

Lin Wanqin’s expression changed slightly, her eyes filled with a nervous and apprehensive look as she watched Ye Luo.

"Don’t worry, it won’t be anything serious, you don’t need to be so afraid."

A smile played on Ye Luo’s lips as he spoke, appearing at ease.

"Then you should go quickly."

"Aren’t you also on the twenty-fifth floor? Let’s go together, it’s a pity..."

Ye Luo’s face showed a sigh and regret.

"A pity about what?"

Lin Wanqin looked at Ye Luo with a puzzled expression.

"What a pity, I was actually looking forward to trying out some office passion. I wonder what that would feel like?"

Ye Luo curled his lips, and Lin Wanqin directly rolled her eyes at him and hurried out. Ye Luo chuckled and quickly followed her out.

In a corner, that monkey crouched there, watching Ye Luo and Lin Wanqin head toward the elevator, his expression narrowing slightly as he quickly left the scene.

In the security department head Hou Dayong’s office, Hou Dayong sat there, eyeing the monkey in front of him with a slightly tense look, "Are you sure?"

"Chief, I’m absolutely sure. They stayed in the office for over twenty minutes, and when Director Lin came out, her face was all flushed. I suspect there’s definitely something going on between the two of them."

The monkey said with certainty.

Hou Dayong squinted, his eyes twinkling with intelligence, "What you are saying does make sense. Keep an eye on them and report back to me immediately with any updates. If this is true, you won’t miss out on a reward."

"Thank you, Chief. I’ll be going now." The monkey smiled sycophantically and turned to leave, while Hou Dayong urgently took out his phone to make a call.

On the twenty-fifth floor of Ling Corporation, in the vice president’s office, Chen Yaowen received Hou Dayong’s call and a cold smirk appeared on his lips.

"Good, that’s the way to do it. Keep up the good work."

After hanging up the phone, a cold smirk spread across Chen Yaowen’s mouth.

"Kid, I didn’t see it coming. First, a big celebrity, and now a director. I’m really curious to see if Qing Ya will accept you." Chen Yaowen revealed a sinister smile. 𝘧𝘳𝘦ℯ𝓌𝘦𝒷𝘯𝑜𝑣𝘦𝓁.𝒸𝘰𝓂

In Ling Qingya’s office, Ye Luo stood in front of the desk, quietly looking at Ling Qingya sitting in the office chair.

Ling Qingya was dressed in a white shirt paired with a black blazer that day, her face lightly made up, her hair tied up high, exuding a kind of dignity and competence, as well as an aura of a strong businesswoman.

That’s what set her apart from everyone else. Equally beautiful women could be soft and tender or charming and alluring, but she was as cold as Arctic ice.

From the moment Ye Luo entered, Ling Qingya’s gaze had been fixed on him, making him feel a bit uneasy.

"President, did you call me here for something?" Ye Luo couldn’t help but speak up first, Ling Qingya’s gaze was too intimidating.

"Shouldn’t you explain something to me?"

Ling Qingya’s cold eyes continued to watch Ye Luo.

"Explain? Explain what?"

Ye Luo was startled, and he could feel the temperature in the office plummeting as Ling Qingya seemed to embody the spirit of an ice goddess, her face covered in frost.

"Oh, I know, it’s about that big star Shi Yanran, right? The truth is, there’s nothing between us. She was simply using me as a shield. Don’t misunderstand."

Ye Luo quickly said.

"Is that so?" Ling Qingya spoke in a cold tone.

"Of course, I swear to the heavens, there’s nothing going on between us," Ye Luo said with all seriousness.

"Ye Luo, although I’m not fond of you, one way or another, we’re still betrothed. I’m your fiancée, and you’re my fiancé. You’d better restrain yourself and not let me see such incidents again. It would greatly affect the reputation of Ling Corporation and Ling Qingya," Ling Qingya warned in a chilling voice. Although she didn’t think much of Ye Luo, she had accepted him as her fiancé for the sake of the company. To her, her career was what mattered most.

"I understand, President. Rest assured, even if I were to find another woman in the future, I’ll make sure no one finds out... uh... I mean, I definitely won’t find another woman," Ye Luo said, quickly correcting himself after realizing his slip of the tongue.
