While he was complaining in his heart, Cao Minhui had already walked up to him with Yi Yichen on her arm.

Yi Yichen glanced lightly at Chen Shaoting, then landed on him. His stern face was not good-looking, and a hint of anger was clearly hidden in his eyes.

He and his other rumored girlfriend went out to eat French food so publicly, but he didn't allow her to have a small gathering with friends?

Chu Mu pretended not to see it, stood up and greeted politely: "Mr. Yi, Miss Cao."

Cao Minhui glanced at her face. Looking closely, she could see the faint red mark of a slap. She smiled faintly, feeling secretly pleased. Having been hit by her, she had to be respectful to her whenever she met her.

She enjoys the privileges that come with power.

However, this Chu Mu was different from the others. His outward attitude was respectful, but his eyes held a look of superiority and generosity. He was neither overbearing nor servile.

Cao Minhui hates such people who don't feel the pleasure of power at all.

"Secretary Chu, is your face feeling better? Do you want to apply an ice pack?" Cao Minhui said this deliberately, with the intention of embarrassing Chu Mu.

"Miss Cao, it's been over half an hour since the slap. It's too late to apply ice now." Chu Mu looked at Cao Minhui calmly. She didn't care what she called a rich lady. She wouldn't indulge her.

"What? You dare to hit Manman." Qi Man threw down his knife and fork, stood up, raised his arm and slapped Cao Minhui.

Cao Minhui's eyes flashed, and she raised her hand to grab Qi Man's wrist.

But before she could raise her hand, Qi Man's hand had already stopped in mid-air.

Looking up, Yi Yichen was holding Qi Man's wrist, his eyes as cold as a blade. He looked at Chu Mu and said icy words, "Secretary Chu, being violent in public is a disgrace to our family."

Cao Minhui's face lit up with joy, she raised her chin high and looked at Chu Mu with considerable pride.

"Please, Mr. Yi, let my friend go." Chu Mu's words were calm, but a hint of coldness was clearly hidden in his eyes. Neither the royal order nor Yi Yichen was as important as Qi Man.

"Secretary Chu, are you ordering me?" Yi Yichen's voice became colder.

"Mr. Yi, you are too kind. I am just seeking justice for my friend." Chu Mu said with a righteous look on his face.

"Secretary Chu, please understand your place." Cao Minhui stepped forward. How could a mere secretary dare to give orders to her boss in public? "Brother Yichen, I was just trying to prevent a violent incident from happening."

"Really?" Chen Shaoting said, "Ms. Cao, how do you define violence? Does verbal abuse count as violence? Or does slapping someone in the face or taking photos of someone being tortured to death count as violence?"

Cao Minhui looked over and noticed Chen Shaoting's presence. Her eyes, once awe-inspiring, turned to contempt. "Chen Shaoting? Why are you here?"

Yi Yichen let go of Qi Man's hand and looked at Chen Shaoting with an unfriendly look: "Mr. Chen, you repeatedly stand up for Secretary Chu. Is this also because of the favor of our Secretary Chu?"

This one sentence almost exposed the relationship between Chu Mu and him.

Cao Minhui quickly gathered her expression and darted a glare at Chu Mu, like a cold arrow. Chen Shaoting's momentum suddenly dropped, and he retreated to his original position.

"So what favor did Mr. Yi receive from me?" Chu Mu was not annoyed, nor did he blush at these words. Instead, he asked back with a frank face.

Yi Yichen didn't expect Chu Mu to ask so openly, and instantly turned the situation that was unfavorable to him around.

The kitten is still the same kitten.

He chuckled: "Secretary Chu, you have received a lot of favors from me."

"Of course. I appreciate Mr. Yi's care at work. As a subordinate, I'm honored to have such a boss." Chu Mu continued speaking along with his words, but his tone was neither sunny nor rainy, which made people think a lot.

Yi Yichen raised his eyebrows slightly, and there was a hint of playfulness in his barely perceptible smile.

"Secretary Chu, do you know how many people want to be Brother Yichen's secretary? Don't be so ungrateful." No one has ever treated Yi Yichen like this before, and Cao Minhui was the first one to be dissatisfied.

Brother Yichen was handsome and talented, and many women from wealthy families had tried every possible means to get close to him. Yi Yichen showed mercy and kept her by his side, but she wasn't grateful at all, and instead asked for an equal exchange.
