My Sexy Female CEO

No matter what the purpose was, as long as one could make friends and get close, that counted as completing the first step.

Silently watching this scene, An Qi always felt something wasn't quite right.

Why would this Boss Su spend 1.5 billion to help Lin Yifan? Why did she quietly endure having a philandering husband? Did she want to chase Lin Yifan? Did she want to use Lin Yifan to escape from a devil's clutches?

The more An Qi thought about it, the more worried she became because she still liked Lin Yifan; if the other woman snatched Lin Yifan away first, it would be over for her.

She would not allow such a thing to happen; therefore, she had to finish this project as soon as possible.

"Sister! What color do you like? What movies do you like to watch? Whose music do you like to listen to?…" After making friends, Su Qingqing began searching for topics to chat with Zhou Jiajia.

Upon hearing these questions, Zhou Jiajia was puzzled, not understanding what they had to do with escaping the devil's grasp and starting anew; however, she guessed that maybe Boss Su was too bored and wanted someone to talk to, to ease her mood; so, she opened her heart and conversed with Su Qingqing.

Meanwhile, after being glared at with hateful eyes by Lin Yifan, Xiao Lian obediently ate her meal; she felt that once she returned home for dinner, she was surely in for a scolding.

Just like that, the atmosphere returned to its original calm, and there was no more arguing.

After dinner, Lin Yifan drove An Qi and Zhou Jiajia back home.

As for Xiao Lian and Su Qingqing, they were taken home under Yi Chen's protection.

In the car, Su Qingqing reproached, "Xiao Lian, how could you mess things up like that? You've disrupted my plan."

"Qingqing, I was also doing it for your good, to find out the older sister's view on having one husband for two women early. It's for your benefit," Xiao Lian replied.

"Ah! Seems like I have to work even harder," Su Qingqing whispered to herself, the pressure in her heart heavy like a mountain, making it hard for her to breathe.

Now, she had to watch over the company while looking for opportunities to get close to Zhou Jiajia.

The conversation between the two women left Yi Chen, who was driving, utterly astonished, prompting him to ask out of curiosity, "Is that Miss Zhou also Big Brother Yifan's girlfriend?"

However, his question only resulted in a scolding from Xiao Lian, "None of your business! Just drive."

Yi Chen said no more, for he already knew the answer; it just wasn't confirmed yet.

On the other hand, An Qi, feeling anxious inside, began to ask Lin Yifan how he knew Su Qingqing.

Lin Yifan made up a story and brushed it off; of course, he wouldn't tell An Qi the real truth, as that would bring unnecessary trouble.

Full of doubts, Zhou Jiajia couldn't help but ask, "Mr. Lin, why does Boss Su want to get close to me so urgently?"

"I don't know; perhaps it's because you give off a big sister vibe," Lin Yifan replied.

"A big sister vibe? What does that have to do with getting close to me?" Zhou Jiajia asked curiously.

"Secretary Zhou, what you don't know is that Boss Su is the eldest in her family. Since she was young, all the burdens have been on her shoulders; thus, she has always longed for an older sister who could share these burdens," Lin Yifan bullshitted smoothly.

"Oh! I see," Zhou Jiajia suddenly realized, now feeling even more pity for Su Qingqing.

Lin Yifan successfully gave a push, and the more Zhou Jiajia felt pity, the more she would help Su Qingqing.

After dropping An Qi and Zhou Jiajia off, Lin Yifan then drove to Su Qingqing's house, reprimanded Xiao Lian, and then returned home.

In the following days, An Qi began working on her project.

She first purchased cell phone accessories, then arranged for the workshop to assemble and produce, followed by stockpiling goods and waiting for them to go on the market.

Meanwhile, Zhou Jiajia was responsible for managing the internal company affairs, handling the tasks of various departments.

On the other side, Su Qingqing was managing the company while becoming familiar with Zhou Jiajia; however, since both of them were very busy, they generally chatted online or on their phones.

Lin Yifan was dating Li Xiangmei while trying to bring Su Qingqing and Zhou Jiajia together.

A month later, the recovered Zhen Jian was up to something again; he colluded with Zhou Jiajia's parents to play a conspiracy of presenting a fait accompli.

On Saturday, this statutory holiday, Zhou Jiajia's parents took advantage of the fact that Jiajia was off work and had spare time to secretly take her out for a meal.

The betrayed Zhou Jiajia was completely unaware that danger was drawing near; she naively thought that her parents were simply taking her out for a meal and shopping.

It wasn't long before she realized she'd been duped when she arrived at the restaurant's private room and saw Zhen Jian.

"Mom, Dad, I thought we were just going out for a family meal? Why is he here?" Zhou Jiajia asked, puzzled.

"Mr. Zhen is our future son-in-law, what's the problem with him joining us for a family meal?" Zhou's father countered.

"What nonsense future son-in-law, you might accept him, but it has nothing to do with me." Zhou Jiajia snapped in anger, "I can't stomach this meal today, you eat without me."

Having said that, she turned and left.

However, the next second, she was called to a halt.

"Stop! Even if you don't give Mr. Zhen face, shouldn't you give me, your father, some respect?" Zhou's father questioned.

"Dad! You're pushing me into being unfilial," Zhou Jiajia responded.

"You never intended to be filial, where's the so-called trap?" Zhou's father retorted, then coughed angrily a few times.

Seeing her father like this, Zhou Jiajia's heart softened, and she chose to compromise, "Fine! I'll stay for the meal, but I'm sorry, I don't have time to talk about wedding banquets and ceremonies."

After all, her father had never treated her poorly growing up, and she could not be unjust and unfilial, abandoning him.

"Don't worry, we won't discuss anything about the wedding; we're just going to have a simple family meal and chat, that's all," Zhou's father earnestly explained, trying to put Zhou Jiajia's guard down.

Pressured by her parents, Zhou Jiajia reluctantly stayed.

She found a place to sit down at the table, and looking at the dishes before her, Zhou Jiajia felt increasingly uneasy; she had a hunch that this meal was about more than just eating and chatting—there was bound to be a bigger conspiracy; at that moment, she couldn't help but recall the time Zhao Ritian had set a celebration feast at the Seashore Grand Restaurant intending to rape her and An Qi.

"Could Zhen Jian be planning the same thing?"

Zhou Jiajia felt like she had walked into a trap, extremely dangerous; she immediately took out her phone secretly and sent a message to Lin Yifan, asking him to come and rescue her.

Why didn't she just leave? Because she had no direct evidence that there was something wrong with the food, nor evidence that her parents meant to harm her; leaving without reason would plunge her into a position of being unfilial.

Under the sky, Lin Yifan, who was on a movie date with Li Xiangmei, became extremely restless the moment he saw the message sent by Zhou Jiajia.
