Chapter 111 Shameless, huh?
But her nonchalant demeanor caused Qin Reng's heart to suddenly tighten, as if a nerve had been tugged by some subtle flutter. Oh no, could it be that this powerful CEO had actually been captivated by this woman?
"Have you gotten too bold?! Who told you to cause trouble for me everywhere?" Qin Reng scolded in a low voice, his eyebrows furrowed so tightly they could trap a fly, his face as taut as a sheet of thick ice.
Yu Yuetong glared at him through gritted teeth. As a corporate slave, what she hated most was being scolded by her boss in front of a group of people. Qin Reng's posture at this moment was as if he were publicly slandering his colleague in a three-way meeting at work. He was just short of pointing his finger at her and shouting "useless piece of trash".
"You know perfectly well that I'm using your persona to maintain appearances and serve your carefully constructed image!" she said matter-of-factly, though her words carried a hint of accusation. "Besides, that woman was clearly there to cause trouble. Don't tell me you can't tell—"
"Shut up!" Qin Reng said, each word distinct, his face quickly turning cold.
Seeing that he was about to lose his temper, Yu Yuetong felt as guilty as a little rabbit who had made a mistake, but she still stubbornly turned her face away and muttered softly, "You were the one who messed around first, and you still question me... It sounds like a warm man to be protective of his own, but he has to pretend to be cold and hard. It's really sick."
Qin Reng didn't hear him clearly at first, "What did you say?"
"It's nothing!" She immediately became as obedient as a quail.
At this moment, the awkward atmosphere was suddenly broken by Ji Momo's voice from the side.
"Oh dear, Young Master Qin, is this your family's upbringing?" Ji Momo said in a sweet, cloying voice, her tone full of undisguised schadenfreude. "Or... do you need me, an outsider, to teach you how to get along as a couple?" She deliberately emphasized the word "couple," her words carrying a deeper meaning.
"You, shut up." Qin Reng didn't even look up, bluntly uttering five words, his expression as if he were staring at a dead object, "It's not your place to lecture me."
Ji Momo's smile froze on her face instantly. In that instant, her pride felt like it had been torn apart and slammed to the ground. But before she could retaliate, Qin Reng had already looked at Yu Yuetong again.
Yu Yuetong keenly sensed the strong threat hidden in his eyes, as if warning her not to utter a single word of retaliation. But how could she possibly hold back? She survived in this bizarre world entirely on her verbal skills; to suppress it would be tantamount to giving up on herself!
So she glanced at Qin Reng sideways, as provocative as she could be, "You really know a lot of rules. Mr. Qin, why don't you have some mercy and teach these 'little drama queens' how to behave?"
"I think you really need to be taught a lesson!" Qin Reng roared, grabbing her wrist and dragging her outside.
"Hey! Hey hey hey!" Yu Yuetong had just called out when she felt her foot lighten, and her high heel almost slipped. "Watch your foot! My foot is still on your body! If you twist it, I'll fight you to the death, you believe me!"
"Shut up. Weren't you so eloquent? Where did your ability to leave Ji Momo dumbfounded go?" Qin Reng pursed his lips, his tone so cold it seemed to drip ice. He strode to the other side of the banquet hall and casually pushed open the door to a small reception room.
The moment the door closed, the air was eerily quiet.
"Tell me! Were you deliberately trying to embarrass her, or were you intentionally trying to make me lose face because of this?" He released Yu Yuetong and threw her onto the sofa, his anger blazing in his eyes. "Do you know that if that woman goes home tonight and cries, she can make everyone in the Ji family hate me even more!"
"Your social awkwardness is my fault? I've been trying my best to maintain your image!" Yu Yuetong struggled to get up from the sofa, muttering defiantly, "Besides, don't you know what kind of green tea bitch Ji Momo is?"
"You're making a big deal out of it," Qin Reng raised an eyebrow, sneering as he leaned closer. "So, you flirted with her and were hoping her reputation would suffer, is that it?"
"I flirted with her? How dare you say that!" She felt like her lungs were about to explode with anger. "That's called strategy! I was using softness to overcome hardness, don't you understand?"
"Strategy?" Qin Reng chuckled, leaning back on the sofa and looking down at her. "I don't see it at all. All you do is stir up trouble, and you always end up with bottomless pits!"
"You..." Yu Yuetong was indignant and raised her hand to poke his chest in protest, but when her finger was halfway in the air, she suddenly realized that her soul was still in the male lead's body. If she was hit, she would probably be the one who suffered the loss.
To protect herself, she forced herself to swallow her anger—outwardly calm, but inwardly her anger had soared to the limit.
Qin Reng seemed to notice her embarrassment, and the corners of his mouth inexplicably curled up. "Not going to poke anymore?"
She choked, feeling her anger unable to dissipate, and finally, in a fit of desperation, raised her voice, "Qin Reng, I'm warning you! You've stolen the show tonight! If you keep making sarcastic remarks, I'll take off your suit and dance for you!"
"...You dare!" Qin Reng's expression froze for a moment, as if struck by lightning.
"Whether I dare or not, you'd better try." She raised her head, her face full of provocation.
As the two were locked in a stalemate, footsteps suddenly came from outside the door.
The footsteps outside the door stopped at the door, followed by a perfectly timed knock, accompanied by a low voice: "Mr. Qin, Miss Ji asked me to invite you over. She feels there might have been some misunderstanding in what we said earlier and would like to clarify things with you."
The tense atmosphere in the air froze for a moment.
Yu Yuetong thought Qin Reng would refuse outright, or even tell her to get lost with a livid face. However, this guy simply said, "Wait for me to come back," and left, his clothes disheveled!
Damn it! He's clearly not going to give up on Ji Momo, this rotten peach blossom! Yu Yuetong was so angry she almost jumped up: "Qin Reng! Are you even a man? In this kind of situation, talking about 'misunderstandings' is just flirting, isn't it?"
"Shut up." Qin Reng tossed out those two words without turning his head, then closed the door and left. Yu Yuetong was left trembling with anger, feeling as if her intelligence and self-esteem had been rubbed into the ground in an instant.
"Fine, fine, shameless, huh?" She clenched her fists, suppressing her anger, and shouted, "Since you're so confident, I refuse to believe I can't afford to mess with you!"
Her gaze fell on Qin Reng's suit jacket, which he had casually tossed on the sofa. Suddenly, an idea struck Yu Yuetong. With a cold smile, she picked up the expensive jacket. She examined it for a moment, then calmly took out her lipstick and drew a large "玥" (Yue) on the collar.
That's not enough! A mischievous glint flashed in her eyes as she expertly transferred the lipstick from her collar to her cuffs, drawing perfect curves while muttering to herself, "Oh, President Qin is so passionate. Why don't you just have a tailor make this coat into a special 'Rust Lipstick' series, so everyone knows your image has completely collapsed!"
