Chapter 719 - Want Me to Hold Your Hand?

When the two of them entered the company, Ren Yufei did not try to avoid suspicion and followed closely behind Sheng Bowen. Her left hand even unconsciously touched Sheng Bowen’s right hand.

Sheng Bowen looked back at her and immediately covered her hand. “Want me to hold your hand?”

Ren Yufei’s face instantly turned red all the way to her ears. “No...”

Sheng Bowen chuckled but did not let go of her. Instead, he held her hand even tighter.

The surrounding employees had already seen the interaction between the two of them and their eyes widened. “The president and Secretary Ren?”

“Am I seeing things? The two of them came to work hand in hand.”

“When exactly did the two of them get together?”

Sheng Bowen did not care about those rumors. He brought Ren Yufei into the president’s office and held her in front of his legs.

“Have you thought about it? Are you going to publicize our relationship?”

Ren Yufei blushed and nodded shyly at Sheng Bowen. “Yes.”

Sheng Bowen pulled her closer and smiled. “Don’t be afraid. I will protect you.”

“Okay,” Ren Yufei replied in a voice as thin as a mosquito.

“Silly girl.”

Ren Yufei’s disclosure of their relationship was the first step to “infuriate” Hu Ran. The two of them had already made an agreement last night.

“I’ll go out to work first. Call me if you need anything.” Ren Yufei broke free from Sheng Bowen’s embrace and turned to leave the office.

As soon as she went out, she was surrounded by her colleagues.

The news of their relationship spread quickly. Soon, Hu Ran received a call from Gu Ziling, obviously to provoke her. “Are you still sleeping at home? The two of them have already publicized their relationship in the company. They’re not even being considerate to you.”

“What did you say?”

“I said, that cheating couple ignored your existence and made their relationship public. Do you still want to endure it?”

“Gu Ziling, if you’re lying to me...” After saying that, Hu Ran hung up the phone and immediately left the house.

On the other side of the phone, Gu Ziling smiled sinisterly. She wanted to see how Sheng Bowen would deal with a woman full of hatred.

Sheng Kai was now working for a mysterious figure under the recommendation of Gu Ziling’s grandfather. For the sake of power, he was willing to do anything and only wanted to climb up the corporate ladder. His goal was very simple—to subvert the Sheng family and make Old Master Sheng pay the price.

Then, he would make Sheng Xiao suffer for the rest of his life.

As for Mu Qiqi, he had left her for Gu Ziling. She had said that she wanted Mu Qiqi to live a life worse than death.

“We don’t have much time. We have to do it quickly,” Sheng Kai reminded Gu Ziling. “Don’t delay proper business just to watch the show.”

“I know what I’m doing,” Gu Ziling replied.

The two of them had been subservient to others during this period of time. They had swallowed their anger so that one day, they could let those who had humiliated them have a taste of this kind of living.

..

Hu Ran quickly rushed to the crowd and acted aggressively.

When the receptionist at Huang Yao saw Hu Ran, she immediately called the CEO’s office. The person who answered the phone was naturally Ren Yufei.

“Secretary Ren, no, Special Assistant Ren, the CEO’s ex-wife is here.”

“I’ll be right down,” Ren Yufei replied very calmly.

A moment later, she arrived at the entrance. However, just as she walked out of the elevator, Hu Ran slapped her. “What a good secretary you are. Your dreams have come true and you’ve climbed into Sheng Bowen’s bed.”

Ren Yufei covered her face and looked at Hu Ran coldly. “You two are not husband and wife. Moreover, you abandoned him first and filed for divorce. Why? We’re unmarried, so why can’t we be together?”

“B*tch!” Hu Ran cursed. “You’re simply a spy sent by Sheng Kai. Who gave you the right to humiliate me? What’s my status? What’s your status? Shameless thing!”

“I’m his girlfriend now. Whether you like it or not, you have to accept it. That slap just now will be the first and last. If you dare to attack me again, I definitely won’t stand it.”

“Is that so?” After saying that, Hu Ran raised her hand again. However, Ren Yufei directly grabbed her wrist and gave her a backhand slap.

Hu Ran was stunned.

“You dare to hit me?”

“There’s nothing I wouldn’t dare to do. If you dare to humiliate me again...” Ren Yufei looked at Hu Ran and said firmly, “Security, this person has nothing to do with Huang Yao anymore. Why aren’t you chasing her out?”

The security stood at the door and was in a difficult position.

“Don’t forget, she’s only the CEO’s ex-wife. Chase her out. Otherwise, you won’t have to come to work tomorrow!”

After the security guard heard this, he went forward and stopped Hu Ran. “I’m sorry, Miss Hu.”

“Ren Yufei, you B*tch! You seduced my husband. You’ll die a horrible death!”

Hu Ran was directly kicked out. Many people saw it with their own eyes.

A dignified young lady actually suffered such humiliation. When passersby saw this, they felt how fierce Ren Yufei could be.

Hu Ran had no choice but to return to the car and drive away from Huang Yao.

At this time, Gu Ziling, who was sitting in the cafe across from Huang Yao and watching the show, called Hu Ran again. “What? Are you still not giving up?”

“Are you done? Stop calling me. I’m really tired of you. Gu Ziling, all of you are scum!” Hu Ran shouted into the phone.

“Tsk, tsk. This grievance is really not easy to bear.”

“Get lost.”

“You’ll come to beg me sooner or later.”

After saying that, Gu Ziling hung up the phone.

Sheng Bowen found out about what happened in the hall. He also heard about Hu Ran and Ren Yufei slapping each other. He immediately stopped what he was doing and went to the special assistant’s seat. There, he noticed that one of Ren Yufei’s cheeks was red and swollen.

“She’s here. Why didn’t you tell me?”

“She’s here to vent her anger. When she’s over it, everything will be fine,” Ren Yufei answered with a choked voice. “I don’t want to make things difficult for you.”

“That’s something that I didn’t handle well. How could I let you take the blame for me?” Sheng Bowen grabbed Ren Yufei’s hand and pulled her into the office. “When I’m free, I’ll go and talk to her again. But if there’s a next time, you absolutely can’t go and see her without telling me.”

Ren Yufei saw how anxious he looked and sighed. “If you really want my best, promise me that you won’t see her again. Otherwise, she’ll keep pestering you. Then today’s slap will have been in vain.”

Sheng Bowen grabbed Ren Yufei’s hand and said, “I’m incompetent.”

“No, it’s Miss Hu who doesn’t know her limits.”

“I’ll go talk to her father.”

Sheng Bowen asked someone to find ice cubes to put on Ren Yufei’s cheek. Then, he called Mu Qiqi. “Little Qi, do you have time? Let’s meet tonight?”

“Great timing. I was just about to contact you,” Mu Qiqi said.
