He's spoiled rotten; that wolf cub knows how to flirt and be affectionate.

"We're probably not close enough to talk about these things, and besides..." Qu Yi paused. "In what capacity does President Zhan speak to me about these things? Is he my ex-fiancé? Or Xu Zhi's vice president?"

Of the two identities she mentioned, she should stay away from the first one, and as for the second one... she didn't want to have any contact with it outside of work.

"I thought we were fairly familiar with each other," Zhan Zheyan said with a wry smile.

"I'm not very close to my dad."

The implication is: I'm not even close to my dad, so why would I be close to you?

There's nothing wrong with what she said. She was sent abroad by her maternal grandfather when she was just a few years old. Apart from her grandfather, she had no contact with anyone else in China for more than ten years, including her father, let alone her ex-fiancé whom she had only met twice when she was a child.

"Does Mr. Zhan think I don't have many friends? Or do you think those things haven't been leaked yet?"

Seeing the expressions on their faces, Qu Yi stopped beating around the bush: "Is one of our Lin Group's interns one of your people?"

intern?

Zhan Zheyan's body stiffened.

"Her name is Xiao Weige, President Zhan. After all, she's the one who caused a scene in front of Mrs. Zhan. Surely you don't remember her?"

Zhan Zheyan felt that even the corners of her mouth were curled with sarcasm, and his face turned pale and then red.

half a month later.

The buzz surrounding Ling Ye has died down; the hottest topic now is a famous actor having an affair with an unknown newcomer.

Qu Yi fastened her seatbelt, sent Ling Ye the address, and then drove away from the parking lot.

Traffic was jammed on Section 2 of Hongxing Road for half an hour, with vehicles moving forward little by little. Qu Yi was frowning as she waited. When she finally reached a fork in the road, there was a loud "bang" on the right. Three cars had collided, and one of them spun around and then crashed straight into her.

The car was hit, and Qu Yi's body lurched forward, only to be snapped back by the seatbelt. His head hit the seat headrest, and he felt dizzy.

Because of the car accident, the hospital was extremely busy. Qu Yi sat on a chair in the corridor, leaning back with her eyes closed, trying to rest. Her face was a little pale.

The hurried footsteps stopped, and Qu Yi opened her eyes to see Zhan Zheyan's shocked expression.

"Qu Yi, what are you doing here? Are you injured too?!"

"Ah."

"Because of a car accident?"

Qu Yi glanced at him impatiently.

"I'll come find you in a bit." With that, he turned and left.

As he made a phone call, Qu Yi casually said, "Go straight, it's the second to last shop."

"???"

"Because she hit my car."

Zhan Zheyan didn't know how to talk about this unfortunate fate. He wanted to explain, but found that Qu Yi had closed her eyes and was obviously not interested in listening. He awkwardly tugged at the corner of his mouth and walked to the end of the corridor.

Xiao Weige's arm was badly injured, with a cast around her neck. Zhan Zheyan helped her walk to Qu Yi.

Xiao Weige looked at Qu Yi with red eyes: "I'm sorry, I really didn't mean to, I will make it up to you."

Qu Yi slightly opened her eyes: "You can't afford to pay that with your salary."

Xiao Weige was taken aback upon hearing this. She tugged at Zhan Zheyan's sleeve and cried out in a wronged tone, "Ayan..."

Zhan Zheyan had a slight headache: "Qu Yi."

Ah Yan knows this woman?!

Xiao Weige's eyes widened, and upon seeing Zhan Zheyan's unusual reaction and ingratiating expression, she immediately became wary.

I will send you the compensation.

"That would be the best."

"We're getting ready to go back, why don't you come with us..."

A figure swept past the two of them and stopped in front of Qu Yi.

"How did you get into a car accident? Did you hurt your head? What did the doctor say? Is it serious? Will it leave a scar?"

Ling Ye cradled Qu Yi's face in his hands, looking at her wound with heartache, his fingertips gently tracing the gauze on her forehead.

"Have you had a brain CT scan?"

"No."

Ling Ye frowned: "Let's go get a CT scan. I'm worried about it."

Qu Yi pulled him back: "It's nothing serious, just a superficial injury."

Xiao Weige's eyes widened in surprise: "Brother Lingye?!"

Ling Ye turned around and looked: "Hmm."

Then he turned back to Qu Yi and asked her all sorts of questions.

Ling Ye pulled Qu Yi away, and Xiao Weige watched their retreating figures, her fists clenched.
