âWhy do you not like her?â He felt puzzled.
âShe⦠S-Sheâs scheming!â Annie tried to form her sentences. In the end, she just condensed everything into a single sentence. âSheâs got ulterior motives towards you!â
Ye Sijue wasnât surprised by this. The women in the company all had some kind of motive towards him, for it was a grand dream of any beautiful woman to transform from a sparrow to a phoenix.
However, the motives of some were hidden in their heart and the motives of others were displayed prominently.
Ye Sijue touched Annieâs cheek and laughed. âSilly fool, youâre jealous! You donât have to bother with her. Sheâs only a secretary to me.â
âItâs not that, thereâs stillâ¦â Annie didnât really like to snitch on other people, and thus she didnât want to tell him about how Tian Yunxin had plotted against her in the company building.
However, she had no choice now.
After listening to her, Ye Sijue narrowed his eyes. There was a sharpness in his gaze as he said, âWhy didnât you tell me about this earlier?â
âI only knew about it after I eavesdropped on her conversation. After that⦠Chris appeared and brought me back here. Alsoâ¦â She didnât like to talk about these things, for it wasnât anything urgent to her.
Ye Sijue sighed. He looked into her eyes and said, âYouâre really⦠You didnât even know that you were being bullied and you didnât tell me about it.â
Annie shook her head adorably. âI didnât think it was anything.â
She thought that it was a minor matter.
She was more concerned about Tian Yunxin trying to seduce him than what she had said in that phone call.
Thus, when she saw him bring Tian Yunxin, her heart felt a little stifled.
Ye Sijueâs gaze was dark and cold. He touched her hand with his fingers, playing with her tiny hand as he said, âDonât worry about it. Iâll take care of this matter.â
Anyone who dared to bully her would pay.
Ye Sijue lowered his head and placed her forehead against hers. âIâm going back next week. Come back with me?â
Annie paused for a while, her expression wavering. âIâ¦â
She hadnât told him that she would go back with him, right?
If she told him right now that she was going to proceed with her engagement with Chris, how angry would he get?
She didnât dare to think about it.
Ye Sijue held her little hand and interlaced his hands with hers.
He looked into her eyes and coaxed gently, âDidnât you say that youâre not engaged to him yet? Donât get engaged to him, okay?â
He would not let her get engaged to another man.
Annieâs expression froze.
âIâm sorââ
Before she could finish her words, a knock sounded on the door she was leaning on.
Knock knock.
After that, Chrisâ voice came through the door, âAnnie, are you done speaking with him? We should get going soon.â
Annie came back to her senses and pushed Ye Sijue away with her hands.
However, she was unsuccessful.
Ye Sijue pressed himself against her palms and looked deeply into her eyes, looking as though he wasnât willing to let her go.
Annie felt put in the spot. âYe Sijue, donât be like this. I⦠have some things that I canât accomplish.â
Ye Sijue seemed to understand what she was implying and his handsome face frosted over.
