Fierce Ex-wife: President, Please Be Careful

Zhao Youlin smiled and pretended she did not understand the underlying meaning in Zhao Youming’s words. “Well, thank you for your concern, Chief Zhao. I will pay attention to the things you just told me in the future. There is still some work in my office I need to take care of. I should get going.”

“Okay, I will get out of your hair then, Youlin. Bye.” Zhao Youming obediently took a few steps backward, giving way to Zhao Youlin.

Zhao Youming thought he had gained something on Zhao Youlin, though what he did not know was the moment Zhao Youlin walked past him, the corner of her lips curled and her smile was… full of scorn.

Zhao Youlin, who had teased Zhao Youming on another level, returned to her office in a good mood, only to find her young secretary sitting at her desk staring at the strawberry cake in front of her with sparkly eyes.

“Why didn’t Young Master Ling come to have lunch with you today?” Zhao Youlin asked curiously after she looked around and found that she did not see Ling Ran as usual.

“Oh, you are talking about Ran Ran, General Manager? Ran Ran is out of town for a few days to run some errands, so he can’t come here to have lunch with me, but he still asked someone to send me lunch every day. And he said he would bring me some delicious food from out of town when he comes back this time.”

Zhao Youlin was speechless. Could this be considered another way of flaunting affection to others?

However, Ling Ran actually took the initiative to tell Li that he would bring her souvenirs before he left. Could it be that he wanted to use souvenirs as a medium to make Li think of him all the time during this period when he was away?

She did not expect that that guy was such a calculating guy who hid this side of him so well!

Zhao Youlin looked at Li, who had already started to gain a double chin from all that food. She secretly lamented that foodies were really terribly naive.

Zhao Youlin, who was put off by the lovey-dovey couple, decided to take a little revenge on the person in front of her by telling her a certain piece of news after thinking about it.

“Ahem. Li, there is something I think I need to let you know.”

“What is it?” Li raised her head from the delicious cake with difficulty and asked in confusion.

“It is about your dream guy.”

Li’s eyes lit up. She asked in excitement, “What about my dream guy?”

“Erm, your dream guy is taken.”

The whole office was dead silent for a few seconds. Li stared at Zhao Youlin and blinked a few times before she recovered herself, as if she just woke up from a dream. She shouted, “What? My dream guy is taken? When did this happen? And who is she? Arghhh! There is no one in this world who is good enough for a perfect man like my dream guy! This cannot be true! This cannot be true!”

Zhao Youlin was speechless.

Li remained indignant for quite a while. Then, she suddenly turned her head to look at Zhao Youlin and said pitifully, “Tell me that it is not true!”

Zhao Youlin’s mouth twitched, and she said in a resigned manner, “Didn’t you say that you only worshiped your dream guy and had no romantic feelings for him? Then why are you so worked up after hearing that your dream guy is taken?”

Li gave Zhao Youlin a sad look and murmured, “General Manager, you don’t understand. To us, dream guys are perfect and cannot be desecrated. There is no one in this world who is worthy of such perfect and flawless men like them. Dream guys should be divine beings who always sit on the throne of God, enjoy our worship, and die alone!”

Zhao Youlin was speechless. The world of obsessive fans was so complicated and terrifying!

While they were still chatting, they suddenly saw Su He come in from outside. Her complexion was as white as a sheet. Her body, which was clad under a white blouse, seemed even skinnier than before.

Zhao Youlin and Li stopped their discussion at the same time. They were both stunned when they saw Su He’s state; words could not describe how concerned they felt. “He, what’s wrong with you? You look terrible. Did you run out and throw up again?”

Zhao Youlin also could not help but interject. “Why do I feel like you have been getting thinner and thinner lately? Are you still not eating much lately? I asked you to go to the hospital to get a checkup last time. Did you go?”

Su He forced a smile when she heard their questions. “I have gone to the hospital for a checkup. The doctor said I got an upset stomach because of the extreme changes in the weather. I will get better in a while, it is fine.”

“Is it really just like that?” Zhao Youlin looked at Su He’s pale face and was deeply skeptical about her words.

“Yes.” Su He tried her best to resist the urge to avoid Zhao Youlin’s gaze and nodded affirmatively, though her hands were already clenched tightly.

“Alright, since the doctor has said so, there is nothing else I can say.” Zhao Youlin sighed in compromise, though looking at Su He’s complexion, she still felt concerned. “However, your complexion is really pale. Are you feeling very uncomfortable? Do you want to go back and rest for a few days before coming to work? I will give you a leave application. You don’t have to worry about the work in our company. Uncle Xiao and Li will keep an eye on everything. Nothing will go wrong.”

After hesitating for a moment, Su He shook her head and politely refused Zhao Youlin’s kind offer. “Never mind, it is not a big deal. I will get better in a few days. I will just be more careful these days. I will eat something that is easy to consume and digest to get through it. I will get well soon.”

Zhao Youlin and Li exchanged glances with each other and said in a low voice, “Alright then, relax a little for now. Li, share He’s work and ease her burden.”

“Okay.” As soon as Li heard Zhao Youlin say that, she kept nodding her head.

Su He smiled gratefully at them and said nothing more.

The truth was: it was not that Su He did not want to stay at home, but she was afraid that if she stayed at home for too long, her brother would notice the abnormalities about her.

Even if her brother did not actually come home often, with his shrewdness, there was no guarantee that she would not give herself away.

“Oh, by the way, the current president of Ye Group, who is also the Young Master Ye Yan whom you all know, will come to our company as a partner of our resort project. I might need your help to receive him by then.”

As soon as Zhao Youlin said that, Su He’s expression changed. Before she could think further about it, the words of refusal had slipped out of her mouth. “General Manager, can I…”

“Yes?”

“I mean, given my current situation, I am afraid it would be inappropriate for me to receive VIPs, so about the reception this time…”

“Yes, He is so weak now. It’s better not to let her do something so tiring, I can manage it by myself.”

Su He gave Li a grateful look. Even though Zhao Youlin felt something was wrong, she still nodded in approval, which made Su He felt greatly relieved.

After Zhao Youlin finished instructing Li about the reception affairs, she suddenly turned around and looked thoughtfully at Su He with a frown on her face.

She kept feeling as if Su He was deliberately avoiding something. Was it all just in her head?
