Mr.CEO Looks Exactly the Same as My Son!-Chapter 640: Misunderstood the President
Thinking about what I accidentally overheard at the company today, my mood turned a bit melancholic.....
I was busy at the company for a long time today. After finally finishing my tasks, I went to the pantry to get some water. Just as I reached the door, I heard Mo Han and Xu Kun chatting.
I hadn’t planned to eavesdrop, and was just about to turn back when I heard Xu Kun remark, "That’s true. Thinking back to earlier times, we said we would stand by Xinluo, but looking at it now, Rui is actually the one most wronged. To protect Xinluo’s safety, he had to harden his heart and be ignored by the woman he loves, all the while pretending to be affectionate with someone else."
Upon hearing this, my feet seemed unable to move.....
Mo Han: "Who wouldn’t agree? The person you love is right by your side, but you have to endure watching her sad and upset, unable to comfort her. That feeling is the worst!"
"Do you think that from the start, Rui intended for someone from the Jiang Family to take her place?"
The pantry was silent for quite a while. Lan Shan stood thoughtfully at the door... it was at that moment she realized she might have misunderstood the CEO because of what the two had said. Linking these words with recent events cleared up her thoughts considerably.
Coming back to her senses, she stared at Ye Xinluo for a while, thinking that she should know about this. After organizing her words in her mind, she spoke, "Xinluo, there’s something I need to tell you."
"What is it?"
"It’s just... today, when I was at the company, I overheard Assistant Mo and Vice President Xu say..."
Before she could finish, there was a knock on the door, interrupting her thoughts. Feeling a bit disgruntled, she glanced at the door, wondering who it could be. The door opened, and Beichen Rui walked in, dressed in casual homewear, carrying a tray in his hands.
The earlier dissatisfaction vanished in an instant. Ye Xinluo also glanced at the door and, upon seeing the things in the man’s hands, frowned slightly.
Beichen Rui walked in and placed the tray on the table in front of them, speaking to Ye Xinluo, "This is what Tong Ma just made. Drink it while it’s hot."
She looked down at the dark substance in the bowl, feeling a bit queasy. It was said that Old Master Bei Chen specifically had this medicine made, claiming it was very effective for healing wounds. She had already started drinking it while still hospitalized, and thought she could stop after being discharged, but unforeseen circumstances...
It’s already healed by now, shouldn’t I not have to drink it anymore?
Just about to voice her protest, she lifted her head and met the man’s gaze... knowing full well that if she didn’t drink it, he would probably resort to enforcing it.....
Not wanting to cause a scene with Shanshan present, she resignedly picked up the bowl, frowned slightly, pinched her nose with one hand, steeled herself, closed her eyes, and drank it all in several gulps.
The taste of the herbal medicine spread throughout her mouth, even her tongue was overwhelmed with the flavor, and she frowned tightly in discomfort.
At this moment, a large hand extended in front of her, slowly opening the palm. As if performing a magic trick, several preserved plums lay quietly in his hand....
Unable to bear the taste in her mouth any longer, she grabbed the plums without much thought and stuffed them into her mouth.
Gently biting into one, the sweetness of the plum spread, instantly dispelling much of the bitterness of the medicine... her tightly knit brows gradually relaxed.....
