After swapping bodies, I became a domineering CEO in a melodramatic novel.
Chapter 49 You and Qin Reng aren't enjoying some alone time together, are you?
As Mo Qingcheng uttered those harsh words, the atmosphere in the ward instantly froze.
Yu Yuetong frowned slightly, her wariness of this treacherous man growing even stronger. She cursed inwardly, wishing she could expose this bizarre situation with a single strike, making him understand that she would not yield here today.
"If you want to do well in the Qin family, you have to learn to stay clear-headed and not be blind." Mo Qingcheng's tone was casual, but a hint of disdain was evident.
Qin Reng stared at him coldly, his gaze as sharp as winter frost, piercing Mo Qingcheng. "I don't like people chattering incessantly in front of me." His tone carried a rare air of authority and pressure.
"If you have the ability, why waste your time on me?" Mo Qingcheng said dismissively, a mocking smile playing on his lips, just like his usual attitude towards the weak.
Yu Yuetong wondered to herself, did Qin Reng hate her identity, or did he hate her as a person, because of his reaction? Or was he simply trying his best to maintain a cold demeanor?
"Besides, if you really see me as an obstacle, then let's have a contest. We have time anyway." Mo Qingcheng's words were like stirring up spider webs in the forest, making the entire space even more complicated. His gaze was intense, staring directly at Qin Reng, as if no reaction could escape his keen eyes.
"I wouldn't mind teaching you a lesson." Qin Reng's lips curled into a cold smile. Although he didn't want to admit it, he realized that the person in front of him was unfathomable.
Yu Yuetong turned her head, trying to break the tense atmosphere, and stroked Qin Reng's fingers, saying softly, "Ignore him, we have more important things to deal with."
"You're always so soft-hearted, like a little white rabbit." Qin Reng's tone was lighter, but still carried a subtle warning. His fingers traced patterns on Yu Yuetong's palm, a comforting gesture that made her feel warm.
"What do you want to do?" Yu Yuetong pretended to be calm, trying to pull her emotions back from the edge of tension.
Just as she was about to say something more, Mo Qingcheng's phone rang again. Although he answered it himself, it seemed to interrupt Yu Yuetong's speculation about his thoughts. Facing the voice on the other end of the phone, Mo Qingcheng's expression suddenly turned serious, and his previous ease vanished instantly.
"Okay, I'll come over after I finish things here." He hung up the phone, a complex and urgent look in his eyes. "Looks like I have to take my leave now."
"Leaving already?" Yu Yuetong scoffed. "Should I applaud your escape?" She tried to hide her unease, but her tone was surprisingly fearless.
"I really hope you can keep this indignation; there's no shortage of drama here anyway." Mo Qingcheng gave a meaningful smile, raised his hand in farewell, then turned and left, walking away so decisively.
Yu Yuetong watched his retreating figure, her brows furrowed. She knew this wasn't the end. Only increasingly complex workplace struggles awaited her.
"What could have made him so flustered?" Yu Yuetong couldn't help but ask.
Qin Reng replied in a low voice, "It may be related to some internal affairs of the Qin family, but don't worry, I will handle it." He firmly held Yu Yuetong's hand, as if this was a promise to her.
Unfortunately, this tranquility did not last long. A familiar voice suddenly appeared outside the ward, and then a figure walked in.
Qin Yu, that ruthless and unpredictable male supporting character, descended like a dark angel. He seemed to possess an almost detached enjoyment of the outside world, his slender fingers casually brushing against the wall, his gaze fixed on the intimate actions between Yue Tong and Qin Reng.
"So... did your relationship really develop so quickly?" Qin Yu's lips curled into a sinister smile, his words laced with sarcasm. "I must warn you, the outside world is not as simple as you imagine."
Yu Yuetong felt a chill and couldn't help but take a few steps back, while Qin Reng stepped forward, as if to shield her from all hostility.
"What is your purpose in coming here?" Qin Reng's voice was deep and powerful, like a raging wave about to rise.
The atmosphere inside the room suddenly became tense, as if a gunpowder-like smell was floating in the air. Yu Yuetong held her breath, a sense of unease rising in her heart, "I have a feeling this standoff won't end here."
She remained composed, mentally calculating her next move. At that moment, Qin Yu's words seemed to ignite a deeper spark between them: "Do you really think you can control everything through your own efforts?"
These words struck her like a sudden downpour against a windowpane, making her heart tighten. Suddenly, a message on her phone startled her—it was a message she had sent at work earlier, a bombshell about a power struggle within the Qin family.
A wave of unease washed over Yu Yuetong. Qin Yu's visit was like a pebble thrown into her once tranquil pond. "What a pleasant surprise," Qin Yu said slowly, a hint of a provocative smile in his voice. "I've heard that the sweetness of your new marriage has quickly heated up your relationship, but I feel more nervous than anything else."
Qin Reng's hands clenched, his eyes flashing with alertness. Yu Yuetong turned and took his hand, signaling him to calm down. She knew this wasn't the time to argue. In this situation fraught with undercurrents, she had to remain composed.
"Who sent you here?" Qin Reng said coldly, his tone revealing undisguised hostility.
"I'm just here to offer you my 'blessings,' hoping you'll have a fierce battle in the game of strength." Qin Yu waved a luxurious gold-inlaid mineral bracelet on his wrist, like a commander looking down from above, and this sense of superiority undoubtedly made Yu Yuetong even more uneasy.
"I don't need your blessing," Yu Yuetong tried to retort, though she knew it was just a way to comfort herself. "Can you leave now?"
"Wait a moment, I'm sure you'll also want to know about the Qin family." Qin Yu's voice was like a cold wind, penetrating and chilling. "What I know is far more than any of them."
Yu Yuetong's heart skipped a beat. What exactly was this uninvited guest up to? Was it just curiosity, or was there another reason? Just then, her phone suddenly rang, the vibration breaking the tense atmosphere in the room.
She quickly checked the message and found it was from a colleague, revealing inside information about the power struggle within the Qin family. The words hinted at a terrifying shift. Her heart seemed to stop for a moment; a sense of unease, as low and menacing as the cawing of crows, filled her with a chilling premonition.
"Nothing, just some work news." Yu Yuetong tried her best to sound nonchalant, but her anxiety was growing. A teasing voice followed on the other end of the line: "You and Qin Reng aren't enjoying some alone time together, are you?"
