Chapter 13

After Xia Shutong escaped from the restroom, instead of going directly to the reception area, she headed straight towards the CEO’s office.

Upon entering, Xia Shutong almost instinctively locked the door and then covered her face, sitting on the sofa.

She could feel that her face was burning hot.

Just now, in the restroom. What did Yun Feiwu want to do to her?

That ambiguous posture, was she trying to do something inappropriate to her, right?

But the problem is, Xia Shutong doesn’t feel disgusted deep inside, and she didn’t even have the thought of calling for help just now.

If Yun Feiwu didn’t suddenly let go, she would have completely given up resistance.

What is wrong with herself?

Qian Lingling sent a WeChat message: 【President Xia, where are you? 】

Xia Shutong frowned and picked up her phone, only to put it back down with a bitter expression.

Finally, she walked into the restroom in the office cubicle and fixed her appearance in front of the mirror. After restoring her usual “President Xia” demeanor, she messaged Qian Lingling.【Just had a little delay due to something, I am now in the office.】

Maybe she could find out something from Qian Lingling.

Qian Lingling quickly replied: 【Alright, President Xia, I’ll be right there.】

During the few minutes waiting for Qian Lingling, Xia Shutong held her phone and had a jumbled mind. Unconsciously, her fingers opened the browser and she typed in the words “Yun Feiwu”.

Realizing what she was doing, Xia Shutong suddenly snapped out of it and immediately closed the browser.

But then, she opened WeChat and inexplicably switched to her backup account for digging up information. Shortly after Xia Shu Tong was discharged from the hospital, Qian Lingling directly gave her that account.

The second-generation wealthy individuals in the group were still enthusiastically discussing various inside stories.

Xia Shutong swallowed her saliva and nervously typed a line: 【I heard that Yun Feiwu and Wu Tong signed a contract.】

Just then, there was a knock on the door. Xia Shutong’s hand trembled and she accidentally sent the message in the chat box.

She paused for a moment, immediately turned off the screen of her phone, threw it aside, and got up to open the door.

“President Xia.” Qian Lingling walked into the office, looked around, but didn’t see Yun Feiwu. She thought that Xia Shutong had just taken her to meet her agent and didn’t ask further.

Xia Shutong sat back on the sofa, gestured for Qian Ling Ling to sit next to her, and carefully said, “Xiao Qian, I have a few questions to ask you.”

“President Xia, please go ahead,” Qian Lingling nodded.

“You said that I’ve never had a boyfriend or girlfriend before, right? Then, did I ever have, um, friends with benefits?” Xia Shutong lowered her voice slightly.

“Huh???”

Qian Lingling’s eyes widened. “President Xia, have you seen something online again?”

Although it is true that there are often rumors in the industry about Xia Shutong secretly indulging in luxury and having a promiscuous lifestyle, Qian Lingling, who is almost always by Xia Shutong’s side, know better than anyone else that she is emotionally aloof in this regard.

Apart from work, Xia Shutong has almost no desires or needs. Oh no, perhaps her only hobby is to show off and embarrass others, to enjoy the struggle of her prey when they are on the verge of defeat?

But whether she would have someone she likes or have physical needs, Qian Lingling finds it unimaginable.

“Yes, that’s right,” Xia Shutong turned her head away.

Qian Lingling said, “President Xia, please don’t believe what those people say. In the past, you dedicated yourself to work and hardly had any other hobbies. They only dare to defame you behind your back because they don’t have the courage to say it to your face.”

Xia Shutong looked at Qian Lingling’s sincere eyes and gradually relaxed.

Great, if that’s the case, it’s not her problem, it’s this person, Yun Feiwu, who has an issue.

So, Xia Shutong changed the subject and tentatively asked, “By the way, Xiao Qian, do you think something is off about Yun Feiwu today?”

Not cold or sincere at all — can we call it sincerity to pin her boss against the bathroom door?

“Yes, a little bit.” Qian Lingling also pondered suspiciously, “I clearly heard that Miss Yun never smiles at people, but she smiled at you several times today. Oh, President Xia, did something happen between you two after you took her to the bathroom?”

Xia Shutong almost jumped up from the sofa.

She restrained her facial expression, forced a stiff smile, and said half-truthfully, “Nothing really, but I also feel she is overly enthusiastic towards me. So, I suspect that maybe we knew each other before.”

“It’s possible. Ah, if only you could remember what happened before the car accident,” Qian Lingling pondered for a while, tilted her head, and murmured to herself, “But, Miss Yun’s gaze at you is really strange, as if she wants to lure you.”

Xia Shutong blinked when she heard the words.

It’s not just seduction, it’s more than that, Yun Feiwu almost did this and that to her.

“Could it be that she wants to compromise with you?” Qian Lingling shook her head again. “No, that’s not it.”

“Why?” Xia Shutong blinked and asked.

“There have always been rumors that there is a backer behind Yun Feiwu. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have been able to thrive in the entertainment industry so smoothly. I used to think the same because many of her resources were beyond what Starlight Entertainment could provide. But…”

Qian Lingling paused. “But if she really had a backer, she wouldn’t have come to Wutong. Unless that person is you.”

Xia Shutong’s finger stiffened. Although she knew it was impossible, she still turned her head, inexplicably guilty.

After Qian Lingling finished speaking, she laughed twice and denied, “But that’s impossible. So, my guess is that Miss Yun is warm towards you because you helped her when you met her.”

Qian Lingling thought so because she was also one of the people Xia Shutong had helped before.

So she understands that Xia Shutong may appear fierce and ruthless, but in reality, she has a soft heart.

As for why Yun Feiwu smiles ambiguously at President Xia, it can be explained quite well.

Qian Lingling has worked with many actors, and a significant portion of them have psychological issues to some extent. For example, they may become immersed in their roles and have difficulty distinguishing between acting and reality. They may even often embody their characters when interacting with others.

Although Yun Feiwu doesn’t have such problems, she may have been influenced to some degree and doesn’t know how to communicate with people normally outside of acting.

Perhaps in the eyes of others, her smile may seem ambiguous and enthusiastic. However, in her own eyes, it’s just a simple expression of gratitude.

After listening to Qian Lingling’s speculation, Xia Shutong nod slightly. However, she still feels that something is not quite right.

— “I can’t believe someone would express gratitude by pressing their boss against the toilet door! This is not just a psychological issue, it’s clearly a problem with their thinking!”

— “She still prefers to believe that Yun Feiwu wants to take advantage of her. No, she wants Yun Feiwu to take advantage of her.”

On the way home, Xia Shutong sat in the backseat of the car, opened her phone screen, which was still on the gossip group interface.

Sure enough, after Xia Shutong posted the sentence, 【Yun Feiwu signs with Wutong】the group exploded.

Xia Shutong scrolled up and her eyes suddenly froze.

Hua Ye: 【Hahaha, I told you, Yun Feiwu is Xia Shutong’s little beauty.】
