Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
Wei Xinyue quickly said, “No, no, it’s fine as it is now. Oh right, remember to smile. You’ll look better when you smile.”
The corners of Ling Xuewei’s mouth curled up, revealing a professional fake smile.
“Is that enough?”
Wei Xinyue knew that her daughter had been pushed to the limit by her. If she continued to make more demands, her daughter might completely quit her job.
Thus, she hurriedly nodded and said, “Yes, yes, you’re very beautiful! My precious daughter is the most beautiful girl in the world!”
Ling Xuewei ignored her compliment and quietly packed her things to go to work.
Although she woke up earlier than any other day, she arrived at the company at about the same time as usual under Wei Xinyue’s command.
When the receptionist saw Ling Xuewei, her eyes were wide open, and her expression was as if she was saying: “Am I dreaming?!”
She stared blankly at Ling Xuewei until Ling Xuewei was about to walk past her. Then, she came back to her senses as if she had just woken up from a dream.
“Good morning, President Ling!”
Ling Xuewei nodded and walked to her own private elevator with low pressure.
It was rush hour at the moment. The elevator outside the company building was filled with employees waiting for the elevator.
When they saw Ling Xuewei’s expression, they were all stunned. It was as if they could not recognize who this charming and cold woman was.
It was not that they could not recognize Ling Xuewei’s appearance. It was just that they had no way to associate this face with the usually decisive female boss.
As a result, the entire atmosphere seemed to freeze after Ling Xuewei appeared.
Everyone forgot to speak and just stared blankly at Ling Xuewei.
Among these employees, Ling Xuewei’s special assistant, Wang Hao, was also included.
However, Wang Hao was different from the others. Apart from surprise, there was also a hint of hidden desire in his eyes when he looked at Ling Xuewei.
This woman was indeed more charming than he had imagined.
Wang Hao really wanted to pull her into his arms right now.
However, his remaining rationality told him that he couldn’t do that.
At least not yet.
Under the gaze of many employees, Ling Xuewei walked into her own private elevator without looking away.
The elevator door slowly closed. The employees outside seemed to have recovered their souls and returned to their normal state.
However, the surprise and curiosity on their faces could not be hidden.
They excitedly lowered their voices and asked each other.
“What’s up with President Ling? Why is she dressed like this to go to work?”
“Why is President Ling behaving so abnormally today? Is she in a relationship?”
“It’s possible! I think she’s going on a date after work!”
“Yes, yes, yes, it must be a date. Otherwise, other than duringthe annual party, President Ling usually doesn’t wear a dress at all!”
“President Ling’s makeup today is also different from usual. Look at her eyeliner, and the ends of his eyes are specially raised. She looks so charming!”
“Wow, you even noticed such details? I only saw President Ling’s dress. It makes her look so slim and beautiful! I really want to buy the same one.”
“Wake up. President Ling’s clothes are definitely high-end. We might not be able to afford it even if we don’t eat or drink for a year.”
“I was just thinking about it. Can’t we just daydream about it?”
..
Such discussions continued until the start of office hours.
Almost the entire company knew that President Ling was acting out of character today. There was a high probability that he was in love.
Everyone was excitedly gossiping and guessing. They wanted to know what kind of outstanding man could actually capture President Ling’s heart.
In the office, two female colleagues were holding documents and pretending to discuss work. In reality, they were gossiping about Ling Xuewei.
“Hey, do you think President Ling’s boyfriend will come to pick her up after work?”
One of them asked.
The other replied, “I think it’s possible! It’s a date. He can’t let President Ling drive there by herself, right?”
“That’s hard to say. What if it’s a young boy that hasn’t graduated yet? Then maybe President Ling will have to drive to school to pick him up.”
“President Ling is such an arrogant person. She probably doesn’t like young pretty boys, right?”
“That’s hard to say.”
The two of them were discussing fervently. The corners of their mouths were almost curled up high.
Coincidentally, Wang Hao passed by and heard what they said. His face instantly turned sullen.
“Don’t discuss irrelevant topics during working hours.”
Wang Hao warned them sulkily.
“If you feel that your workload is not enough, I can report the situation to the human resources department for you and ask them to transfer you to another post. Do you need me to do that?”
The two female employees shook their heads repeatedly.
“No, no. Our workload is very heavy! We’re overloaded!”
Wang Hao said, “Then seize the time and work hard. Don’t just talk about nonsense!”
The two female employees nodded profusely. They quickly returned to their respective work desks and buried their heads in their documents.
Wang Hao walked away with a sullen face. In a place where no one was looking, he fiercely punched the wall.
‘A young, pretty boy?’
He really wanted to drag that person out and tear him apart!
He had been by Ling Xuewei’s side for three to four years. He had expressed his feelings for her countless times directly and indirectly but Ling Xuewei had never given him the slightest chance.
Why did she suddenly fall in love now?!
When he thought about the woman he had his heart set on and wondered if she would get into another man’s bed tonight, Wang Hao’s heart was filled with fury.
He wished he could burn everything in his surroundings to Ashes!
Especially that foolish man!
‘How dare he covet the woman I’ve set my sights on? He must be tired of living!’
“Don’t let me find out who you are!”
Wang Hao gritted his teeth and muttered to himself.
At this time, another colleague walked over and said, “Assistant Wang, you are here? Miss Ling has been looking for you for a long time. She asked you to send the investigation report of Yunding Villa over.”
Wang Hao quickly collected his emotions and put on a professional expression. He smiled and nodded.
“Alright, I will send it over right away.”
He sent the document that Ling Xuewei wanted, as quickly as he could.
Furthermore, he was surprised to find that Ling Xuewei had actually taken off the necklace that she always wore.
Wang Hao stared at Ling Xuewei’s snowy white swanlike neck and secretly swallowed his saliva.
However, in his mind, he couldn’t help but imagine the scene of a hickey appearing on that slender neck.
This thought made his entire body heat up, and the anger that he had suppressed with great difficulty also surged .
“President Ling, you look really beautiful today.”
He tried his best to hide his emotions and said with a smile.
Ling Xuewei calmly said, “Thank you.”
Wang Hao continued to say tentatively, “The colleagues in the company are all saying that you are very different from usual today.. There’s even speculation that you’re going on a date after work.”
