  “Su He?!” Ye Yan cried out in shock. He was caught by surprise when Mu Tingfeng suddenly mentioned her name.

  When Mu Tingfeng saw his response, he raised one of his eyebrows. “You remember Su He?”


  “It’s not that I remember her, but…” Ye Yan pursed his lips. He forcefully suppressed the anxiety in his heart. “I remembered that Ms. Zhao has a secretary by her side… She is also called Su He.”


  Mu Tingfeng froze. He hesitated for a while before he told him the truth, “If Youlin doesn’t have two secretaries named Su He, then I can tell you this, they are indeed the same person.”


  “The second eldest lady of the Su family is working as somebody else’s secretary?” After Mu Tingfeng had personally confirmed this, Ye Yan was stunned. Apparently, he could not quite accept the fact that there was such a person working undercover around Zhao Youlin.

  Mu Tingfeng ignored Ye Yan’s bewilderment. He asked him back, “President Ye, how do you know Su He, then?”


  “She received me several times before when I went to Zhao Enterprise to look for someone.” When he said this, Ye Yan was a little embarrassed.

  Mu Tingfeng’s eyes flashed. He clearly knew who the person was that Ye Yan had been looking for.

  Ye Yan felt a chill creeping down his spine under Mu Tinfeng’s cold gaze. In his heart, he believed that Mu Tingfeng was way pettier than he had thought.

  He had omitted the incident about his first meeting with Su He in order to avoid suspicion. In fact, at that time, he had nearly gone on a blind date with Zhao Youlin.

  If Mu Tingfeng found out about this, this guy might just leave on the spot without caring much else about others.

  Unbeknownst to Ye Yan, the reason he had not been able to go on a blind date with Zhao Youlin back then was because the person in front of him and Su He had played decisive roles in it. While Ye Yan was lamenting this, he had no idea that it was totally pointless for him to conceal this fact from Mu Tingfeng.

  Mu Tingfeng had long known about the fact that Su He had concealed her own identity and applied to be Zhao Youlin’s personal assistant without her family’s knowledge.

  Originally, Mu Tingfeng had misunderstood his younger cousin. He had thought that she had an ulterior motive for doing this, and he even got worked up over it. In the end… the lass told him the reason she wanted to draw close to Zhao Youlin was indeed due to what appeared to be an underlying motive. However, he would be happy if her plans actually turned out successful.

  Before Su He’s identity was exposed, she had explicitly told him that she did not have any malicious intent of getting close to Zhao Youlin as soon as she returned to her home country. She only wanted to use Zhao Youlin as a stepping stone to get close to someone else.

  So long as Mu Tingfeng did not expose her identity and kept it as a secret from her family, she would help Mu Tingfeng to keep an eye on Zhao Youlin’s each and every move as well as giving him a hand to court her back.

  Su He was the youngest child in their generation in the Su family. She was lovely and well-behaved. She was nothing like a certain group of people that he had commonly seen. Instead, she was more like the other side — wordly innocent girls.

  Mu Tingfeng did not have any siblings. Therefore, he more or less indulged his younger cousin who had been close with him since young.

  At that time, Su He had looked very serious. His heart went out for her, and he had agreed to it.

  As he thought about it now, he had asked Su He several times who the person actually was that she wanted to use Zhao Youlin to draw closer to. However, each time, Su He had purposely switched the topic, and she looked like an awkward but happy young girl.

  Although President Mu’s emotional intelligence was lower than an average person, after watching her behaving like this multiple times, he had also sensed something unusual. Seeing Su He in that state, she looked like she was in love.

  Moreover, President Mu had a certain mighty secretary who was a so-called expert in romance by his side.

  After he had confirmed that the reason Su He behaved like this was because she was in love, Mu Tingfeng had someone to investigate all the men in Zhao Youlin’s company who may be Su He’s target. However, Mu Tingfeng still could not find him.

  As such, the matter had been put on hold. However, now…


  Looking at the person before him, he began to connect certain outlandish possibilities in his mind.

  This man was acquainted with Su He. If the person whom Su He had used Zhao Youlin to draw close to was not someone inside Zhao Enterprise, could the person be someone outside Zhao Enterprise?

  Mu Tingfeng was deep in his own thoughts. However, he remained staring at the person opposite him without even blinking.

  Ye Yan almost started shrinking under his gaze. He thought that Mu Tingfeng did not trust his words. After he hesitated for some time, he finally blurted out the whole truth.

  “Well, in fact, my first time meeting Ms. Su was not at Zhao Enterprise. I met her during a blind date.”


  As Mu Tingfeng was pondering the possible relationship between Su He and Ye Yan, Ye Yan suddenly revealed such a sensational piece of news to him. Mu Tingfeng immediately narrowed his eyes.

  “Blind date?”


  Ye Yan shivered upon meeting Mu Tingfeng’s cool gaze. He lamented to himself why he failed to realize that the heir of the Mu family was actually that difficult to… deal with.

  “That’s right. A blind date… Ahem, about four months ago, Ling Ran was… forced by his mother to go on a blind date. When he arrived at the destination, only then did he realize that his blind date was Ms. Zhao, so…”


  “So, he tipped you off and you went on the blind date in his place, right?” Mu Tingfeng had already learned about the matter. At that time, he only knew that Zhao Youlin had gone on a blind date, but he did not know who her blind date was.

  Now, Ye Yan had coincidentally explained why he had suddenly appeared at the place where Zhao Youlin was on a blind date and had nearly bumped into her.

  ‘So, he is the second young master of the Ling family, right?’ He remembered his name! A trace of bone-chilling light flashed across Mu Tingfeng’s eyes.

  At the same time, Ling Ran, who had to leave Shalnork to handle some work, suddenly felt a chill creeping down his spine, and he sneezed.

  Ling Ran rubbed his itchy nose and discreetly wondered who was talking about him. He crossed out his horrible friends from the list one after another before he decisively remembered that there was still a certain young girl who was waiting to be fed.

  ‘Could Li be missing me?’ Thinking of this, Ling Ran’s downcast mood as a result of his sneeze rapidly faded. He touched his nose and giggled stupidly.

  It looked like the trick of playing hard to get during this period of time had been most effective. Did this mean he would soon be winning the beauty’s heart?

  The satisfied Ling Ran did not even pause to consider that the person thinking about him might be someone else, not to mention that even if Li missed him, it was highly likely because she had run out of food and thus, she remembered him as her feeder.

  On the other hand, Ye Yan, who had no idea that he had been the worst of friends and successfully sold his best buddy out to Mu Tingfeng, had nodded upon hearing Mu Tingfeng’s question. He said truthfully, “However, by the time I received the news and rushed over there, Ms. Zhao had already left. I initially thought that Ms. Zhao would soon be back. So, I waited a while longer in the restaurant. But, at the end of the day, I didn’t expect Ms. Su to turn up instead of Ms. Zhao.”


  Mu Tingfeng cocked one of his eyebrows. A hint of puzzlement showed up on his face. “Did you mean that she was the one who had taken the initiative to look for you?”
