Just look at that appearance of hers, and still wanted to snatch from her, why not go look in a mirror!
Thinking this way, she glanced provocatively at the woman who was touching her chin and examining her up and down .
“Tsk tsk tsk …” Luo Liyan pouted, shaking her head in lament .
This really was a little fox inside and out, afraid that as long as it was a man, they would all be enraptured by her charm . ¹
¹TN: 拜倒在石榴裙下 Original was men all would bow down beneath her pomegranate red skirt (feminine charm) . The origin of the saying came from Yang Guifei . The king had made a decree that all officials had to bow down to Yang Guifei when she passes by . Since Concubine Yang liked to wear a pomegranate red skirt normally, everyone would bow down as soon as they saw the dress . The saying 拜倒在石榴裙下 became an inside joke between the officials .
However, her life really was too terrible, who couldn’t she easily hook, but she just had to pounce on Mu Lingxi, this man who couldn’t comprehend the atmosphere in the slightest .

“Secretary Li, take a taxi to Crown International by yourself, I’ll be arriving later . ” Mu Lingxi thought that Luo Liyan was jealous and quickly sent Li Wenqian away .
“President, there’s nothing for me to do going there so early, why don’t I accompany the both of you . ” Li Wenqian said softly .
“Are you questioning my decision?” Mu Lingxi’s voice immediately dropped in temperature, looking coldly at the woman who was twisting her waist and trying to lean herself on him .
Without even thinking about it, he grasped Luo Liyan and took two steps back, pulling a distance away from her .
Even though, because of her appearance, Luo Liyan was finally showing a bit of possessiveness towards him, but this kind of emotion could only be used to add flavor to the feelings; too much would be counterproductive .
“No … no, President . ” Li Wenqian felt very awkward inside her heart, her lips wanted to smile innocently, but the blue complexion of her face made her appear all the more distorted and hypocritical .

“Enough, you don’t need to explain anything to me, just do what you should do . ” Mu Lingxi’s eyes were filled with disgust, directly bringing Luo Liyan and passing her .
Looking at the backs of the embracing figures leaving, Li Wenqian tightly clenched her fists unwillingly .
It’s already been two years since she has started working in the Mu Company . These days, she finally was able to catch a few words with President Mu with great difficulty, and even temporarily took over the work of his special assistant . She believed it wouldn’t have taken too long before she would successfully sit in the position of Mrs . President within the Mu Company .
All that was left was for her to put in a little more effort for to cross that doorstep², but suddenly a bitch jumped out of nowhere who wanted to block off her path .
²TN: Basically not a lot more effort was needed before she could reach her goal
But not until the end, no one can be sure whose hand would kill the Deer!³
³TN/PRN: no one can tell who would reign supremacy .
“Little Li, are you angry?” Mu Lingxi looked at Luo Liyan, who was sitting in the car without a word, and asked a little guiltily .
It was him who has been forcing her feelings and making her compromise the entire way . She hasn’t even really accepted him yet .
If she mistakenly thought of him as the same type of person as her scumbag ex, then his path of chasing his wife may become even more difficult .
Thus some misunderstandings must be strangled in the cradle . ⁴
⁴TN/PRN: Nipped in the bud .
“That Li Wenqian is just an ordinary secretary in the secretarial department . Last time the director of Bureau X came to Mu Company for some matters, he coincidentally saw her and liked her very much . He even mentioned it a few times afterwards . This time Mu Company just so happened to be bidding for the subway project, so … “
“That’s why you’re giving a living person as a gift to someone else, becoming an unassuming cornerstone of your business empire . Pity how they are still being kept in the dark by you . ” Luo Liyan sneered with ridicule .
“She’s pitiful?” Mu Lingxi frowned and asked back, then sighed helplessly .
“You’re really thinking too simply of her . Although on the surface it seems as though she likes me, in fact, she only likes the Mu Company assets behind me . Besides, currently, she has a patron that is old enough to be her dad, providing her with 200,000 yuan per month . ”
“Two hundred thousand?” Luo Liyan’s eyes widened incredulously .
Attention was instantly successfully diverted away from the evil capitalist .
