The car suddenly became silent.

Wen Wen looked at her boss in horror, her eyes full of guilt.

Manager Hao Mingyue must have heard her "Ah!" just now.

How could I be so impatient? I'm doomed.

Wenwen also remembered that when she was on a business trip, no one knew that she was traveling with her boss.

——Everyone thought she was assigned to another project...

Now that Manager Hao Mingyue has heard the noise, what should I do?

There was a long silence on the other end of the phone.

Hao Mingyue's voice was hesitant and as cold as ice:

"Who?"

Wenwen continued to look at the boss, her eyes full of confusion.

Hao Mingyue pressed on, "Mr. Shen, is there a woman with you? Who is she?"

Her voice became noticeably sharper, making Wen Wen's scalp tingle even through the receiver.

What made her even more flustered was that Hao Mingyue added, "This voice sounds so familiar, like someone I know."

Shen Tulong was silent for a moment, then said calmly, "It has nothing to do with you."

He winked at Wenwen, who pursed her lips, carefully used her fingers to take out the phone from the gap, and placed it back in front of him.

Shen Tulong raised his hand and hung up the call.

The car was very quiet, with only the faint sound of wind from the air-conditioning vents.

Wen Wen felt extremely guilty, her voice trembling a little: "Mr. Shen, will she...will she recognize my voice..."

Shen Tulong: “I don’t know.”

After a long while, probably to comfort her, he added, "So what if you heard it?"

Wen Wen laughed and cried: "If she knew it was me, it would be terrible! She would regard me as a love rival."

Shen Tulong had no idea how fierce the war between women was. It was a silent war, a bloodless killing.

Wen Wen: "Women's sixth sense is very accurate. I'm afraid he already knows it's me. After all, I'm the only one on a business trip in the department at this stage."

Shen Tulong sighed slightly in his heart.

"Don't worry, it's nothing serious."

"You don't know, she..."

Wenwen wanted to describe to him how cruel Manager Hao Mingyue was to her love rival, but she didn't know how to start.

Shen Tulong turned his head, his eyes fell on her pale face, and his tone was a little softer than before:

"She didn't hear it."

Wen Wen: "How do you know?"

Shen Tulong: "Based on my understanding of her, if she knew it was you, she wouldn't have the same attitude as before."

Wen Wen: "What if, what if she's just pretending... Jealousy between women is terrifying..."

Wenwen's voice became smaller and smaller, and the uneasiness in her eyes could not be hidden.

"...I'm afraid she'll retaliate against me. After all, she's the department head."

What Wenwen fears most is being bullied in the company and eventually losing her job.

Seeing that she was so nervous that she looked like she was about to cry, Shen Tulong slowly said, "No, I have the final say in this company. I'll take you home later and approve a few days of leave for you so you can have a good rest at home."

Wen Wen: “Hmm…”

As the two were talking, Wenwen's cell phone suddenly rang.

She was so frightened that her face turned pale and she didn't dare to take it.

"It's over, it's over, she called! She knows it's me!!!"

Shen Tulong: "Hold steady."

Wenwen picked up the phone tremblingly, thinking she was going to face a storm, but when she saw the incoming call message on the screen, she realized it was from her mother.

"my mother?"

The call also included a request for a video call.

Wenwen then remembered that she had originally planned to return home yesterday from this business trip, and her mother must be worried about her.

"It's my mom, this is the video."

"Take it."

Shen Tulong said, "I won't speak or make a sound."

Wen Wen took a deep breath and touched the answer button with trembling fingertips.

"mom."

"Wenwen! What's wrong with you? Didn't you say you'd be back in two days?"

In the video, the mother holds Lele in her arms and feeds her with an anxious look on her face.

"Lele was nagging about her mom yesterday. I told her that she was out buying her some delicious food, so she had to bring some snacks back! When are you coming back?"

"I was delayed by something and am now on my way back." Wen Wen tried her best to make her voice sound calm.

"Oh! What car are you in?"

The mother suddenly raised her voice and the camera shook, as if she was trying hard to see the background clearly.

"This car looks really high-end, is it your boss's?"

"Yes."

"You and your boss are riding in the same car? Where is he? Let me see what he looks like." Mom didn't hide it at all.

Wen Wen was nervous and lowered her voice: "Mom, my boss is driving, it's not convenient to talk now."

Her face turned red and she subconsciously glanced at Shen Tulong who was driving in front.

Unexpectedly, my mother didn't care and lowered her voice as well, thinking that no one else could hear her:

"Wenwen, what was your boss's impression of you on this business trip? Did you perform well? Did he notice your feminine side?"

As soon as these words were spoken, Shen Tulong in the front row paused slightly while holding the steering wheel.

"mom!"

Wenwen interrupted her.

"I already told you it's not convenient right now, what nonsense are you talking about!"

Wenwen was both embarrassed and anxious, her cheeks burning hot enough to fry an egg on.

"I'm hanging up now. I'll talk to you when I get home!"

Without waiting for her mother to speak again, she hurriedly hung up the video.

The carriage fell silent again, but this silence was filled with an indescribable awkwardness.

Shen Tulong spoke first, his tone half-smiling, "Your mother's thoughts are quite obvious."

Wenwen lowered her head and didn't know what to say.

Shen Tulong: "Could it be that what happened last night...was your mother teaching you to do this?"
