The CEO's husband didn't come home every night, and Secretary Chu was angry

"What are you doing here? You're here to laugh at Chu Mu's joke. Tell him that it's not my turn, Cao Minhui, to laugh at her." Cao Minhui glanced at him, then looked away, filled the empty cup in front of her, and raised her hand to drink it all.

But when the wine glass reached his lips, a hand suddenly appeared and snatched the glass away.

Cao Minhui looked at him unhappily. Xu Qianfeng raised his eyebrows and drank the wine in his glass in one gulp, his expression cynical and ruffian. "Do you think it's Chu Mu who's laughing at you? Don't you think there's something fishy about this?"

"What do you mean?" Cao Minhui's slightly drunk eyes turned fierce as she looked at Xu Qianfeng.

Xu Qianfeng pulled back the corners of his mouth, a faint smile on his face, but the glint in his eyes hidden in the darkness was full of mystery. He kept a nonchalant expression and said, "Don't you think it was too easy to get on the cruise ship? With Yi Yichen's personality, how could he not know what you were going to do?"

"What exactly do you want to say?" Cao Minhui lost all her patience.

"Haha." Xu Qianfeng gave her a meaningful look, but when he got to the point, he suddenly changed the subject and said, "You're so smart, you'll definitely figure it out."

The anger on Cao Minhui's face dissipated a lot. Xu Qianfeng kept the secret and said, "It's getting late. You should go back early. It's not safe for a girl to hang around nightclubs all the time."

"Besides, your parents will worry."

Hearing the word "mom and dad," Cao Minhui twitched her lips slightly, her eyes and eyebrows etched with sarcasm. After getting off the cruise ship, Cao Jun and Cheng Zhenru only gave her a birth control pill and offered no other words of concern.

They even ignored her daily absences. Cao Jun didn't even show any concern for her, instead blaming her for being stupid and unable to even drug Chu Mu.

I'm afraid they are now scolding her for being stupid behind her back, so why would they care about her?

"They don't worry about me, they just think I'm a nuisance." Cao Minhui's eyes darkened and she raised her hand to drink the whiskey in the glass.

"How could that be? After all, they are your biological parents, how could they really dislike you? You should be more considerate of them. My mother used to beat me often, but when I was sick, she felt so distressed. You think too much." Xu Qianfeng had the air of an experienced person, but he glared at her with a pair of eyes that contained some scrutiny and ridicule.

When she was sick, her parents were busy with work and didn't even come to see her when she was hospitalized with a high fever. Parents in the world are different, and she has understood this over the years.

"I'm just their pawn, love..." She was halfway through her sentence when she realized that she had said too much and said unhappily, "What's it to you?"

Xu Qianfeng withdrew his scrutinizing gaze and smiled faintly, "It's really none of my business. I'm just worried about you. You were the one who was wronged on the boat that day. I just feel sorry for you."

Cao Minhui: "You feel sorry for me and have been helping Chu Mu. Does Chu Mu know that you said this today?"

"I was helping you, how could you not understand? Yi Yichen is really crazy about her right now. If you destroy her, wouldn't that be the same as destroying Yi Yichen?

And you did this during Kehua's team building, with everyone in the company present. This is a slap in Yi Yichen's face, no wonder he's so angry."

He paused, took a sip of wine, and then continued, "Your father never took Yi Yichen seriously and looked down on him from the bottom of his heart."
