Chapter 302: Chapter 161: Wei Luyao Wants to Join the Offer Show

"What’s wrong?"

Seeing her eyes glisten with moisture, Chen Mo froze.

’I didn’t say anything, did I?’

’Why does she look like she’s about to cry?’

’I was just encouraging her, and now she’s on the verge of tears. Don’t tell me she’s the type who likes being put down?’

’I never would have guessed she had that kind of kink.’

"Thank you."

Xu Xiyue looked at Chen Mo, her beautiful eyes misty as a look of deep emotion appeared on her stunning face.

Perhaps it was the sense of security Chen Mo gave her, but feeling completely at ease, she threw herself into his arms without a second thought.

She wrapped her arms around Chen Mo’s waist and gently rested her head on his shoulder.

Chen Mo was hit by a sweet fragrance, and at the same time, he felt a soft pressure against his chest.

Looking down, he saw her faintly scented hair brushing against his chin. Her graceful, fragrant body was pressed tightly against his.

And the way they changed shape... the pressure was intense.

Chen Mo naturally wrapped an arm around her slender waist and gently patted her head.

His actions were smooth and natural, but a look of bewilderment was on his face.

’All I did was tell her to invest boldly and go all out, right?’

’Why did she suddenly throw herself into my arms?’

Just then, someone from the finance department came to the door of Xu Xiyue’s office looking for Chen Mo to sign something.

Many of the company’s senior executive positions were currently vacant, so Chen Mo had to handle a lot of the signatures himself.

Since the office door was open, the employee just stood at the entrance and started to speak.

"President Chen, there’s a document that needs your signa—"

She was about to ask for his signature, but before she could finish, she saw the two of them in an intimate embrace inside the office.

After seeing this, she was too shocked to finish her sentence.

"Ah... I didn’t see anything..."

Her reflexes were quick; she immediately turned and fled.

Inside the office.

Hearing that someone was looking for Chen Mo, Xu Xiyue took the cue to release her arms from around him, her graceful body leaving his embrace.

After nestling in his arms for a moment, her emotions seemed to have calmed, and her rationality returned.

"Of all the men who want to sleep with me, you’re the one who’s shown the most sincerity and trust. Thank you."

"It’s been a long time since anyone has trusted me like this. I truly cherish this feeling."

"Your trust and support make me feel very secure. I won’t let you down."

Xu Xiyue tucked a strand of her dark hair back, her beautiful eyes soft as she looked at Chen Mo and spoke.

She made a decision. Even if Chen Mo couldn’t make her project a success in three months.

Before she went to the rooftop, she would spend a good night with him.

It would be her way of thanking him for his trust and support.

"You can do it."

A flash of understanding crossed Chen Mo’s eyes.

He finally understood the reason for Xu Xiyue’s unusual reactions.

’So, my words caused a misunderstanding.’

’Well, not exactly a misunderstanding. It’s just that what I meant wasn’t what I literally said.’

’And Xu Xiyue took it literally.’

’We’ve been talking for ages, but we weren’t even on the same wavelength.’

’Still, the outcome is good. She understood my intentions.’

’And she even threw herself at me.’

The two of them continued to discuss upcoming work in her office.

Meanwhile, outside, the gossip mill had started churning.

"What happened? Weren’t you going to get President Chen’s signature? Why are you back without even going in?"

A colleague asked the finance employee in confusion.

"Signature? President Chen has no time for signatures right now. I think I finally understand why President Chen invited President Xu to join our company."

she said, a look of dawning comprehension on her face.

"Why?"

Her colleague’s curiosity was instantly piqued, and she couldn’t help but ask.

This was something no one could figure out—why Chen Mo had invited Xu Xiyue to join the company.

Bringing Xu Xiyue on board seemed even riskier than venture capitalism.

"I can’t say. The boss would have my head."

She clearly wanted to tell, but she just shook her head, deciding to keep it a secret.

Spreading gossip about the boss was a one-way ticket to getting fired.

"Don’t you know me? My lips are the most sealed in this entire company. Tell me, I swear I won’t tell a soul."

Hearing her stop halfway, the colleague felt like ants were crawling all over her. She quickly patted her chest and promised.

"Okay, but you absolutely cannot tell anyone, or I’m finished."

"The reason is... our company was opened specifically by the boss for the boss’s wife!"

She couldn’t hold it in any longer and dropped the bombshell.

"What? The boss’s wife?"

After hearing this, the colleague couldn’t help but gasp, completely stunned.

’Xu Xiyue is the boss’s girlfriend?’

"For real?"

The colleague asked again, finding it hard to believe.

"If you’re not scared, go take a look at her office door. They might still be hugging."

She pointed toward Xu Xiyue’s office.

"Of course I believe you!"

The colleague didn’t dare to go look, but she was already convinced.

「A few minutes later.」

A colleague suddenly sidled up to the finance employee who had started the rumor.

"I’ve got some gossip for you, but don’t tell anyone else."

The colleague whispered mysteriously in her ear.

"Go on."

She had yet to realize the gravity of the situation.

"Actually, the boss started our company specifically for his wife."

"And the boss’s wife is President Xu! They’re getting all cozy in her office right now."

"Oh, right, don’t tell anyone else about this."

After sharing the gossip, this colleague looked completely relieved.

However, after hearing her own words repeated back to her, the original finance employee was not feeling good at all.

Her vision went dark; she had a feeling her job was on the line.

Before long, the entire company knew that Xu Xiyue was the "boss’s wife."
