Chapter 2046: Provoking

“Sir, I’m a wine seller, not a hostess.” The woman’s voice was gentle yet firm.

The man smiled coldly. “Aren’t you a hostess? Come in if you know what’s good for you.”

The man grabbed the woman’s hair and dragged her into the room.

The woman refused and lowered her head, biting the man’s arm.

The man was in pain and had to let go of her. But he was even more angry and raised his leg, wanting to kick the woman.

The woman stumbled forward and accidentally bumped into Tang Mo.

“I’m sorry…”

The woman wanted to get up and leave, but the man caught up to her very quickly. She grabbed Tang Mo’s arm in fear and raised her beautiful eyes. “Sir, help me.”

Although half of the woman’s face was swollen, it could not hide her beauty.

Pureness and coldness interlaced with each other. She was extremely beautiful, charming and eye-catching. Her gentle aura was filled with determination and arrogance.

She was a very beautiful woman.

She was also Tang Mo’s type.

Tang Mo held the woman’s shivering shoulders and looked up at the middle-aged man who was chasing after him.

“Why are you hitting a woman?” Tang Mo raised his eyebrows slightly and gave a faint smile.

The middle-aged man naturally knew the famous young master of the Tang family in the capital. He smiled and said, “It’s a woman I bought and she’s not very obedient.”

“No, I just work here in the bar.”

Tang Mo looked down at the beautiful woman and did not look at the man again. He said, “Scram.”

The middle-aged man did not dare to say anything more and returned to the private room opposite.

The moment the middle-aged man left, the woman in Tang Mo’s arms struggled out of his arms and looked up at him. “Thank you.”

With that said, she left.

Tang Mo smirked.

This woman was acting earlier. It was interesting that she turned her back on him the moment the crisis was resolved!

…

That night, Tang Mo drank with Ye Jie, and the former was the one who ended up drunk.

He slept in the hotel’s presidential suite for the night and arrived at the company at ten the next day.

His assistant told him that there was a secretary who scored first in the written test and was good in all aspects in appearance. He would be able to work after confirming it with the assistant.

Tang Mo asked his assistant to call the secretary for the interview into his office.

Tang Mo walked to his desk and signed the documents sent by his assistant in the morning. At this moment, there was a knock on the door and he did not look up.

The sound of a woman’s high heels sounded.

“Hello, President Tang.”

Hearing a slightly familiar cold voice, Tang Mo looked up.

The woman standing in front of the desk was wearing a tight white shirt with an A-line skirt. Her long hair was tied into a low ponytail. Her face was only the size of a palm, her eyes cold, her nose well-defined, and her lips red.

She had put on makeup to cover her swollen cheek from last night.

Tang Mo put down the fountain pen and leaned against the leather chair, a devilish smile on his lips. “It’s you.”

Tang Mo picked up her resume and looked at it. “Mi Yue?”

The woman hummed.

“You graduated from a well-known university and you’re good in all aspects. Why are you a wine seller in a bar?”

“I need money.”

Tang Mo nodded and glanced at the woman. Although she was wearing professional clothes, he could tell that they were all cheap.

“Wait for me on the sofa for half an hour.”

…

After Bo Cixue proposed to leave Ye Jie yesterday, she did not go home and stayed in Nan Xun’s apartment for the night.

After getting married, Nan Xun’s life hadn’t changed much. Most of the time, she still stayed in her apartment.

“I have to go on a business trip in two days. Since you’re on leave today, come and buy some professional clothes at the mall with me!”

Bo Cixue nodded. “Okay, but you have to listen to me. Don’t buy those conservative professional clothes anymore.”

Nan Xun replied, “It’s just a professional attire. How much can they differ?”

“If you match it well, you can make a professional outfit look good.”

Bo Cixue had always had a taste for fashion. Nothing would go wrong by listening to her.

“Okay.”

Nan Xun’s thoughts were not as rigid as before. Firstly, she was no longer a newbie in the workplace. In the past, in order to not be taken advantage of at work, she tried her best to be more androgynous. But now, she was already in the higher management of the company and was the young madam of the Tang family. No one dared to have any thoughts about her and she could live a little more freely.

Nan Xun could tell that Bo Cixue was in a bad mood. They did not mention the man and planned to go to the mall.

When they arrived at the mall, they went from the first floor to the third floor.

Bo Cixue took Nan Xun to a store in the female section.

This store was catered to the younger population, and the professional suits inside were all popular and tasteful.

The staff knew Bo Cixue and welcomed her warmly when she saw her coming over.

“Pick a few suits for my friend.”

The staff nodded. “Alright.”

The staff passed Nan Xun a few sets and Nan Xun took them before going to the fitting room.

Bo Cixue sat on the sofa and waited for Nan Xun.

After a while, the door of one of the fitting rooms opened.

A slender and pretty woman walked out.

She was wearing a chiffon shirt and a short skirt. At a glance, her legs were long.

“Eh, where’s the gentleman that came with me?” The woman asked the staff.

“Oh, that man went out to take a call.”

Bo Cixue had seen too many beauties. She only glanced at the woman before looking away.

Soon, Nan Xun came out.

Unfortunately, what she was wearing was similar to the other woman’s style.

Nan Xun was about to ask Bo Cixue if this was okay when he heard the woman beside him say, “President Tang, you don’t have to bring me here to buy clothes…”

Nan Xun looked up and saw Tang Mo walking in after answering the call.

It was the first time Nan Xun had seen Tang Mo since they got married.

He had one hand in his pocket and was wearing a hand-tailored blue suit. The fitting cut wrapped around his tall and handsome figure. The color of the suit did not look strange on him but looked even more handsome and charming.

When his eyes met Nan Xun’s, he narrowed his eyes slightly.

Nan Xun acted like he did not see him and looked away expressionlessly, treating him like a stranger.

Seeing that Nan Xun did not care, Bo Cixue could not say anything and pretended not to see Tang Mo.

“You look very good.” Bo Cixue gave Nan Xun a thumbs up.

Tang Mo’s gaze landed on Mi Yue. “Not bad. Do you like it?”

“It’s a little too big for me.”

Tang Mo glanced at Mi Yue’s waist. It was indeed a little loose. He looked at the staff. “Is there a smaller size?”

“President Tang, we only have one set in each size. The smaller one is with this lady.”

Tang Mo glanced at Nan Xun and scoffed without looking at her carefully. “Let her change out of it. The clothes here are not suitable for her masculine style.”

Hearing this, Bo Cixue furrowed her eyebrows. “Brother Tang Mo, aren’t you being a little too much?”

Nan Xun walked over, held Bo Cixue down and shook her head.

Nan Xun looked at Tang Mo, who did not need to look at her. She knew that he looked down on her and also felt that she was born a tomboy. She did not care about his thoughts, but she was unhappy with his public provocation.

“Tang Mo, I don’t mind going back to the old mansion for dinner and reporting to Grandpa what happened today.”

Tang Mo’s expression changed. “Do you really dare to do that?”

“Do you think I won’t?”

Tang Mo laughed coldly. “Alright, go and report it. However, I’ve bought all the clothes you tried here today for my beautiful secretary. Get out!”

The staff looked at Tang Mo in shock and joy. “Mr Tang… are you buying them all?”

“Yes, pack them all for me.”

Bo Cixue was about to say something when Nan Xun stopped her. “Why waste your breath on him? If he has a lot of money, let him spend it. Why spoil our mood?”

After Nan Xun changed, she pulled Bo Cixue out of the store.

“Ah Xun, even if you don’t have any feelings for each other, you’re still a couple. He brought a woman out openly and even snatched the clothes you liked. He’s too much!”

Nan Xun pulled Bo Cixue aside. “Yes, I feel sullen too. I can’t just let it go.”

…

After Tang Mo paid for the outfits, he went to the washroom.

Nan Xun followed behind quietly.

At this time, there was no one in the male washroom in the female section. The moment Tang Mo went in, a basin of cold water suddenly drenched him. He cursed softly, “Damn it, who’s that?”

He turned to pull the washroom door and found that it was locked from the outside.

“Who dared to touch me…”

He kicked the door open and walked out, drenched.

Bo Cixue and Nan Xun stood in the corner. Seeing Tang Mo coming out in a sorry state, they looked at each other and smiled.

Bo Cixue had hacked the surveillance cameras in the corridor. Even if Tang Mo wanted to investigate, he would not be able to find out about them. Of course, he would be suspicious, but Nan Xun could just deny it.

…

Bo Cixue and Ye Jie had not contacted each other for nearly half a month.

Bo Cixue focused on her work and occasionally had time to accompany her family and gather with her best friends. She did not feel that it was hard to endure.

On Ye Jie’s side, the medical team had already developed the vaccine, which was a major development for the HIP virus.

In order to reward the medical team, Ye Jie held a celebration party for them.

The Bo family had also received an invitation. Bo Yan and Yan Hua planned to bring Bo Cixue along, but Bo Cixue did not want to go. She did not want to see Ye Jie and Ye Yiren at the celebration party.

He had not contacted her for so many days. He must have given up on this relationship.

…

Ye Yiren appeared at the celebration party dressed to the nines.

Recently, she had been studying vaccine nonstop. She had lost a lot of weight, but under her makeup, she was still as bright, noble and elegant as before.

The bruises on her neck from Ye Jie’s strangulation had faded. The two of them had not said anything for the past few days, and even for work, he had asked Ah Zuo to communicate with her.

He was wearing a white collar shirt during the banquet. Under his soft short hair, his facial features were handsome and noble. His eyes were dark and he exuded a cold aura that kept people away.

Ye Yiren took a deep breath, took a glass of champagne and walked toward him.

“I’m going back to my country soon. Are you still not willing to talk to me?”
