Chapter 490: 490: Calculating her every step of the way_1

Su Hongxing initially did not intend to lose her temper in public, but Ye Qilan had no boundaries, his hand began creepily crawling up her thigh.

Her face turned pale, giving her a chilling sensation, she abruptly stood up.

All eyes in the conference room were focused on Su Hongxing, confused about what just happened.

Su Hongxing exuded a calm and collected demeanor. “Mr. Ye, I’m not an employee of your company. Your work meetings involve confidential matters. It’s inappropriate for me to record the minutes.”

Having said that, she gracefully walked out of the conference room.

Most of the people in the meeting room were men. They had seen numerous beautiful women, but there were few as ethereal as Su Hongxing.

Moreover, with Su Hongxing’s petite waist, and her long, straight and stunning legs, everyone’s gaze unknowingly followed her, forgetting they were in the middle of a meeting.

Even the usually attentive manager of the planning department could not help but stare, forgetting he was presenting a report.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

It was when the temperature in the meeting room suddenly dropped and the atmosphere turned strange, that everyone managed to tear their eyes away from her.

When they glanced at their seldom-seen boss, his expression was cold, and an icy aura emanated from him. His eyes weren’t usually menacing, but his glance at this moment made them all feel as if they had been sentenced to a dreadful punishment.

Half an hour later.

“Li Yan, what happened in the conference room?” The secretary who had just come out of the tea room asked Li Yan.

She had just gone into the conference room, hoping to get a few more glances at the boss’s stunning good looks. However, she found all the senior managers doing push-ups. The sight was awe-inspiring.

“Talk less, do more!” Li Yan tersely replied, refraining from saying anything more.

From her years following Ye Qilan, the one important lesson she had learned was to not speak about things she wasn’t supposed to.

As for why all the high-ranking staff managed to irritate Ye Qilan, of course, it was because Ye Qilan was jealous.

As Ye Qilan left the meeting room, Li Yan immediately approached him, softly reporting Su Hongxing’s whereabouts.

Ye Qilan’s eyes flickered slightly, and he headed straight into his office.

Li Yan could not fathom Ye Qilan’s thoughts.

From a rational perspective, given how much Ye Qilan cared for Su Hongxing, shouldn’t he personally bring her back after knowing that she had gone to the airport? Why did he react the way he did?

**

Su Hongxing had indeed run to the airport.

After leaving the conference room, she received a call from Mo Li, who told her that there were obstacles in the collaboration and that it would take at least a week for him to return.

Her first reaction was that Ye Qilan was behind Mo Li’s inability to return.

Recalling how Mo Li had flown off in the morning, and in the afternoon, she had received a notification from Lugang Industry, could everything be a mere coincidence?

Ye Qilan’s scheming tendencies were too profound. Every step was a calculated move against her, and she had to fight back.

Since Mo Li couldn’t come back, she would go to Mo Li herself.

Regrettably, she had still underestimated Ye Qilan’s abilities.

Even though she had booked a ticket, someone blocked her path and refused to let her through the gate. She spent the entire afternoon at the airport, but still couldn’t find a way to leave S City.

As darkness fell on the March sky, the night was a bit chilly, and she was wearing a skirt. She couldn’t endure any longer and reluctantly left the airport.

As she stepped out of the airport, Su Hongxing felt a bit at a loss.

Was she to accept that, after everything she had done, she was still no match for Ye Qilan, and she would have to obediently stay by his side and be taken advantage of by him?

She was not willing to just accept her fate like that.

At this juncture, it seemed she only had one path to take.
