In the black Maybach, a man in a well-fitting and exquisite suit sat in the back seat. He wore a pair of gold-rimmed glasses on his high nose bridge and his eyes were slightly closed.

The woman next to him stared at the man's handsome face in a trance, until the man opened his eyes slightly and met his cold gaze, the woman withdrew her gaze in time.

Zhuang Ce glanced at her little movements and asked, "Ling Che's word 'Aunt' makes you so upset?"

Shu Hui clenched the folder on her knees with both hands and lowered her eyes. "I dare not."

She has been with Zhuang Ce for almost ten years, and her every move can be seen by Zhuang Ce.

Zhuang Ce raised his hand and pinched her cheek, forcing her to look at him, and said in a cold voice, "It's good that you don't dare. Don't forget your identity."

Shu Hui's delicate face was appropriately made up, and even with a light blush on, her complexion looked a little pale at the moment.

She knew Zhuang Ce was angry.

She could love Zhuang Ce and sleep with him, but she could not mention marrying him.

This is what Zhuang Ce hates most.

So for ten years, she could only be his underground lover, without any name or status.

"Got it, Mr. Zhuang."

Zhuang Ce pinched her cheeks tightly and kissed her fiercely after a few seconds.

Just when Shu Hui thought he was going to do something in the car, Zhuang Ce suddenly let go of her, pushed her away, and then sat up straight.

It was as if nothing had happened just now.

Shu Hui pulled down the hem of her skirt that was messed up by him, straightened her clothes, and said nothing.

In front of Zhuang Ce, she had no initiative and no dignity.

She was used to it.

Zhuang Ce glanced at her, his eyes calm behind his glasses, "Old Master Ling's birthday is in a few days. Ling Che doesn't seem to be paying attention to this matter, so you go and make the arrangements."

"Also," Zhuang Ce instructed, "keep an eye on Ling Che."

Shu Hui's lips turned pale, and her voice was a little unsteady, "Yes, Mr. Zhuang."

Qiao Ruyi stepped on the accelerator and drove to her other residence. After taking a shower and changing into clean clothes, she drove to GM.

GM is a well-known clothing design company in Beijing. After Qiao Ruyi returned to China after completing her self-study studies, she was recruited by GM to serve as the design director.

The elevator stopped on the 26th floor. Qiao Ruyi was wearing a mint green satin shirt with the collar buttons unbuttoned just right, revealing her slender white collarbone. She accessorized it with the latest high-end gold collarbone chain and earrings of the same color, which was simple yet sophisticated.

Her delicate facial features were made more vivid by light makeup, and her carefully styled black wavy hair was casually scattered, making her already porcelain-white and translucent skin even whiter, tenderer and more delicate.

She wore a pair of light blue jeans and a pair of custom-made high heels. Although her outfit seemed casual, it actually revealed her control over details and aesthetic taste.

As soon as Qiao Ruyi entered the door, she attracted the attention of her colleagues, and everyone stopped what they were doing to greet her.

"Good morning, Sister Ruyi!"

"Good morning, everyone." Qiao Ruyi smiled politely and walked into her office.

Assistant Guan Mei brought in a glass of iced American coffee, no sugar, no milk, and half the amount of concentrate, which was Qiao Ruyi's usual taste.

Then I changed the aromatherapy on the table to a fresher scent.

Guan Mei is a smart young girl. After following Qiao Ruyi for a year, she has roughly figured out Qiao Ruyi's working habits.

"Sister Ruyi, this is the market research for next quarter." Guan Mei handed a stack of information to Qiao Ruyi.

Qiao Ruyi took a sip of coffee, scanned the information in front of her, and instructed, "In addition to this quarter, we also need to prepare a trend analysis chart for the next quarter in advance."

As she spoke, Guan Mei nodded, with uncontrollable admiration in her eyes.

She admired Qiao Ruyi's work ability very much. Under Qiao Ruyi's leadership, their company took on many big orders.

"By the way," Qiao Ruyi asked, "How's the progress of Xingyu Company's project?"

Guan Mei: "Li Ru has already gone to negotiate and has been following for a week. She should be able to sign it today."

Qiao Ruyi nodded and signaled Guan Mei to go out to work.

Before Guan Mei left, the little girl's curiosity ignited and she whispered, "Sister Ruyi, I heard you're married?"

Qiao Ruyi raised her eyes and then smiled, "Yes, I'm married."

Guan Mei looked at her slender and beautiful hands, which were empty. "Why don't you wear a wedding ring? I thought Sister Ruyi was single."

Qiao Ruyi: "It's inconvenient for drawing normally, so I don't wear it because I think it gets in the way."

This kind of lie can only be told to outsiders like Guan Mei who don't know the truth.

Everyone in the circle knew that when she married Ling Che, she just received a red book, without a wedding ceremony or wedding ring.

So apart from a few people in their circle, no one knew about her relationship with Ling Che.

After Guan Mei left, Qiao Ruyi began to draw the draft.

GM has been taking on a lot of orders lately, so naturally she has more work to do. Once she gets busy, she forgets about Ling Che's trivial matters.

It was not until the afternoon when Aunt Zhang, who was in charge of cooking at the villa, called to ask her if she wanted to go home for dinner that she realized it was almost time to get off work.

Aunt Zhang said, "Madam, I can't get through to the young master on the phone. Could you please ask him if he's coming home for dinner tonight?"

Qiao Ruyi put the drawing pen into the pen holder. It's funny to say that every family has to ask their husband several times a day whether he will come home for dinner.

"I see."

Qiao Ruyi hung up the phone and opened Ling Che's call. She felt unhappy when she thought of the nonsense he said in the morning.

But for some unknown reason I still called him.

The phone rang for a long time, and when Qiao Ruyi was about to hang up, the other party picked up the phone.

"Something?" Ling Che asked in a cold tone.

Hearing his tone, Qiao Ruyi became unhappy, "Which woman is holding you down? Why did you take so long to answer the phone?"

Ling Che sneered from the other end of the phone, "Why, are you jealous?"

"If I say no, won't it make you seem useless?" Qiao Ruyi asked back.

Ling Che laughed instead of getting angry, his tone mocking, "Qiao Ruyi, you weren't so tough last night."

Qiao Ruyi was tired after a day of work and was too lazy to argue with him. Just as she was about to ask him if he would come home for dinner, a girl's voice came from the other end of the phone.

"Ling Che, is that Ruyi? How about asking Ruyi to come along? If she misunderstands me, I'll never be able to clear myself even if I jump into the Yellow River."

Even through the phone, Qiao Ruyi could hear clearly that it was Ye Ke's voice.

The man who had just left her bed this morning was now with his "good friend".

That innocent, generous and understanding tone made her seem unreasonable.

Without waiting for Ling Che to speak, Qiao Ruyi shouted into the phone, "Ling Che, if you want to be cheated on, just tell me! I promise to make sure you wear the green hat straight!"

"Qiao Ruyi! How dare you!"

Ling Che roared angrily, and one could tell how ugly his expression was right now.

"Do you think I dare?" Qiao Ruyi said this and hung up the phone.

Zhuang Yurong only said not to divorce Ling Che, but she didn't say not to cheat on him.

Whether in terms of family background or appearance, Qiao Ruyi is one of the best in Beijing. The men who want to pursue her line up from Beijing to Country F, except for the blind Ling Che who looks down on her.

As soon as I got into the car, Guan Mei called.

"Oh no, Sister Ruyi, something happened to Li Ru!"
