My Ex-Husband Is Proposing Again

The boss gave the order, and the meeting continued.

While working, Ye Qilan did not forget to win over the ladies.

He looked at Cao Shiyu and personally poured her a cup of tea. Seeing this, Cao Shiyu complained playfully, “Fourth brother, you’re so biased. You’re always protecting Secretary Su. You’re doing tasks that she should be doing, why?”

Originally, she simply thought that Su Hongxing was ugly, her plumpness unbearable to look at. Yet now, she realized that not only was Su Hongxing unattractive, but her heart was even uglier.

Yet strangely, even a woman like Su Hongxing could draw a different reaction from Ye Qilan.

“You must remember one thing, Hongxing is my secretary, not yours. No one can force her to do anything she doesn’t wish to do,” Ye Qilan said, as he continued to stare at Cao Shiyu’s face, hoping she would smile more.

When Cao Shiyu kept a straight face, she really looked unattractive.

However, the moment she smiled, his mood would lighten.

A hint of displeasure flashed through Cao Shiyu’s beautiful eyes, but she quickly regained her composure. The upbringing she had since childhood did not allow her to lose her temper in public, nor did it allow her to be a loser.

Even if she felt incredibly jealous of Su Hongxing at this moment, she couldn’t let it show on her face.

She showed a smile that Ye Qilan loved most, linked his arm and feigned a complaint: “Fourth Brother is indeed biased, always protecting Secretary Su. I am a woman, too, who needs cajoling, can’t you just be kinder to me?” “Aren’t I good enough to you?” Ye Qilan asked quietly in response.

He had always been just and fair. When Cao Shiyu complained about being bored in the office and wished to attend the meeting with him, he agreed. He had made an exception for a woman for the first time. What else did Cao Shiyu want?

“I am thirsty now, could Secretary Su go fetch me some snacks?” Cao Shiyu leaned on Ye Qilan’s shoulder, but her gaze was fixed on Su Hongxing.

Upon hearing this, Su Hongxing walked to the conference room door and called out, “Secretary Zhang, come over!”

Secretary Zhang quickly came over. Su Hongxing brought her into the meeting room and led her to Cao Shiyu: “Miss Cao, if you need anything, you can tell Secretary Zhang.”

Cao Shiyu, despite her poise, was left breathless with rage at Su Hongxing’s deflection.

“What does Miss Cao feel like eating? I will go and buy it right away.” Secretary Zhang asked respectfully.

Both Su Hongxing and Cao Shiyu were Ye Qilan’s women, he couldn’t afford to offend either.

In this looks-obsessed era, Cao Shiyu was clearly miles ahead of Su Hongxing.

In terms of family background, Su Hongxing obviously couldn’t compete with Cao Shiyu either.

However, with her face and physique, Su Hongxing was putting up a good fight against Cao Shiyu. This just proved that Su Hongxing had something extraordinary about her.

For now, he couldn’t upset either of them. It was uncertain who would have the last laugh, he had to avoid taking the wrong side, and offending a future boss’s wife.

Cao Shiyu was feeling suffocated, yet she couldn’t pick on Su Hongxing on purpose again. Otherwise, if Ye Qilan thought she was a difficult and petty woman, leaving a bad impression, the loss would outweigh the gain.

She casually gave a shopping list to Secretary Zhang, who acknowledged and left.

After that, Cao Shiyu’s gaze would occasionally sweep over Su Hongxing, wanting to figure out what made this plump woman extraordinary. Her initial provocation against Su Hongxing, surprisingly, ended in failure, which forced her to reassess Su Hongxing.

She had underestimated Su Hongxing, thus the unwillingness to accept such a loss.

After finishing pouring the tea, Su Hongxing continued recording the meeting proceedings..
