The Female CEO Falls in Love with Me

After hearing Li Yan's sigh, she couldn't help but punch him lightly on the arm and whispered disdainfully, "You're really disgusting!!"

It wasn't that Li Yan was enraged and beat her; it was because when she leaned in to look at the photos with him, she forgot to pay attention to the elevator. As she hit him and spoke, the elevator doors had already opened. What was supposed to be heard by just the two of them was now heard by one man, three women, and the elevator attendant inside the elevator.

Even Wen Qianyi, who always maintained a strong aura and composed demeanor, couldn't help but be overcome with shyness and anger, her face flushed and burning, wanting to disappear into the elevator crevice; and even the usually thick-skinned and laid-back Li Yan felt a bit embarrassed. Because...

The only stranger who heard them was the elevator attendant; the other man and three women were all acquaintances. Two were quite familiar: one was the department director Ye Jiahong, and the other... was the company's president and his wife, Zhang Yurong! Those he wasn't so familiar with were Zhang Yurong's assistant Ke Yunyun and the driver Xiao Yan.

When he came out, Li Yan had thought that if Zhang Yurong and Wen Qianyi were going to attend the same event, it would be entertaining. He was relieved at the presentation earlier, thinking that Zhang Yurong, with her status, definitely wouldn't be there. But as he was about to leave, he unexpectedly bumped into her, and she was accompanied by Ye Jiahong. From the looks of it, this was no private meeting but a meeting with significant clients. On the contrary, with him and Wen Qianyi... it couldn't be easily explained.

...

Zhang Yurong was meeting two sets of clients tonight, one set being out-of-towners, with a meeting arranged at their hotel. Remembering Li Yan's past concerns and hesitancy, she didn't go alone this time; before leaving, she called the dedicated driver Xiao Yan to pick up the assistant Ke Yunyun to join.

After finishing the first meeting, the second client was local, and the meeting place was this private club. Zhang Yurong, due to her status, rarely participated in regular social events and was not a member here. Upon learning that membership was required, she had business director Ye Jiahong, who was a member, join them.

Having just arrived, her mind was practicing scenarios for receiving clients. Due to her cold, imposing presence, in the small space of the elevator, Ke Yunyun, Ye Jiahong, and the others felt pressured; no one dared to speak, just waiting for the floor to arrive. When the elevator doors opened, they felt a slight relief and were about to step out, but then someone was at the door, and the woman's words hit them like a thunderbolt. Upon closer inspection, they realized the two outside were also from their company.

Unlike their surprise at seeing Wen Qianyi with Li Yan, Zhang Yurong had more of a reaction of a wife catching her husband with another woman! As a woman, even if not resulting in a public confrontation, one would still berate such a couple. It doesn't matter if you're a president; you're still a woman, a wife.

However, she had no emotional attachment to Li Yan, and their marriage was merely nominal at this stage. None of the others present knew about their relationship, so she had to remain calm. But she was indeed displeased!

Even if she didn't like it, it was still her property, and who could be happy with someone else playing with it? Even in a nominal marriage, knowing he sought pleasure elsewhere could be ignored, but witnessing it firsthand is another matter.

Of course, if Li Yan knew what she was thinking, he'd undoubtedly feel wronged. They had never been in sync spiritually, let alone connected on an emotional level. They were just a couple in name only, so how could there even be emotional infidelity?

The elevator attendant felt the tense atmosphere, not rushing them to move, her polite smile a bit strained.

"Hmph!"

Upon hearing the familiar cold huff and sensing the strong chill, both Ke Yunyun, who interacted with Zhang Yurong the most, and Ye Jiahong, who admired Zhang Yurong greatly but was also a bit afraid of her, shivered, and quickly stepped out of the elevator.

The two embarrassed individuals hastily stepped aside to let them pass. Zhang Yurong's gaze, cold as a blade, swept over them as she walked out accompanied by Xiao Yan.

Should they wait to let the two guests in to avoid the awkwardness? But it seemed the other guests had something to say, wouldn't it turn into a lingering observation? That wouldn't be polite! The bizarre atmosphere also made the elevator attendant a bit at a loss. But she soon closed the elevator, because... outside, there were two guests and four had just exited — the majority rules.

"Ahem... Wen Qianyi, Li Yan, what are you doing here?" Ye Jiahong tried to make himself appear authoritative. They were his subordinates, but clearly, the president had also recognized them.

Unlike Zhang Yurong's coldness, Ke Yunyun looked disdainful. The last time, the incident with Sun Hui was also overheard by them near the elevator. She felt Li Yan was using underhanded means to hook up with Wen Qianyi. As for the driver Xiao Yan, he was quite the shadow, hardly noticeable on the sidelines.

The newly appointed Wen Qianyi from the Business Department was named a supervisor with Zhang Yurong's approval. She'd heard about this business prodigy. Now, meeting her for the first time, Zhang Yurong's indifferent gaze lingered a bit longer on the woman who was with her husband.

Wen Qianyi being Wen Qianyi! After a moment of embarrassment, she had regained her composure, transitioning from shy anger to calm and composed. She had met the brilliant young talent Ye Jiahong before, and Zhang Yurong, who had risen to prominence in the past two years, was someone she'd been quite intrigued by even before joining Paradise Group.

Now, she regained her usual smile and took the initiative to greet them.

"President Zhang, Director Ye, hello! My partner Li Yan and I are here for a business investigation."

Who would believe that?

It's unclear whether the driver Xiao Yan, who hasn't interacted directly with them, believed it, but Ye Jiahong certainly didn't. He felt somewhat jealous of Li Yan; this guy always struck it lucky, like a flower stuck in cow dung! Zhang Yurong and Ke Yunyun clearly also suspected the two of having an affair.
