After accidentally sending a late-night reading to her ex-boyfriend

This is too close, it's too awkward.

Jiang Yue even took a moment to think about what it would feel like to kiss Mo Chenyuan, whose words were so venomous.

Mo Chenyuan's Adam's apple bobbed inexplicably.

"And what about you? You dressed like that to deliberately seduce me, and then you found someone else to make me jealous. What's the meaning of that?!"

His voice was deep yet pleasant, like a bass cannon, as it brushed against Jiang Yue's ears.

Jiang Yue's heart fluttered for a moment, and then she felt that the scene was very familiar.

Her documents.

Damn, he saw it.

He finished reading it!

So this isn't jealousy or ambiguity at all; it's practically settling scores after the fact, a death sentence by a thousand cuts.

In that instant, all of Jiang Yue's feelings for Mo Chenyuan vanished completely. She felt a tingling sensation in the top of her head. She had thought the matter of the document was over, but damn it, the topic had come back.

Especially now that the two are in a secluded corner of the banquet, it feels like they're about to have a fierce battle.

In fact, it's like being slowly sliced ​​to death three hundred times.

Jiang Yue's voice finally trembled with nervousness.

"Mo Chenyuan, I can explain that document."

"I don't believe there's another author in the world who just happened to use the names Jiang Xiaoyue and Mo Chenyuan, making a perfect pair, and then you just happened to see it and send it to me! Hot springs and a banquet—what a coincidence! You wrote those things and sent them to me, were you trying to...get back together with me!"

A bolt from the blue struck one after another. As their breaths mingled, Jiang Yue clenched her fists tightly.

Composite?

Did Mo Chenyuan want to get a definite answer from himself and then severely humiliate himself?

She still cared about her image: "I was young and ignorant, so I just wrote it casually!" Jiang Yue quickly retorted, but the tips of her ears turned red: "It's normal for a woman to have feelings after seeing Mr. Mo's conditions. Besides, I wrote that document while I was abroad, not now. What does it have to do with getting back together!"

Mo Chenyuan's eyes darkened.

"I don't care about your affairs, I'm just afraid you'll slip up again and damage your image and the company." Mo Chenyuan should have let go of Jiang Yue, but his fingertips unconsciously rubbed together. Noticing Jiang Yue's trembling, Mo Chenyuan's voice remained calm: "No matter what you're thinking, stop it. I'm not interested in you... Don't do anything like this to deliberately seduce her. You were the one who wanted to break up with me in the first place."

After saying that, Mo Chenyuan suddenly released his grip, regardless of whether Jiang Yue was standing firmly.

"Regarding the matter of salvaging your public image, if you have any ideas, the company will do its best to meet them. We'll handle this strictly as a business, so feel free to make your requests."

As soon as he finished speaking, Mo Chenyuan seemed unwilling to stay with Jiang Yue for even a second longer, and disappeared from Jiang Yue's sight.

Jiang Yue left early, wishing she could disappear into the shadows.

Jiang Yue knew about her persona and job; the seeds of her downfall had already been sown when she escaped Gu Zeyu's control. That scoundrel pretended to be a gentleman when she returned to China, but in reality, Gu Zeyu was stingy and despicable, using her merely as a tool to please his parents.

After that, her path became difficult.

Jiang Yue has a bold plan: to break with the old and establish the new. She can't let down the opportunity that Xiao Yu helped her fight for; everything might turn around.

Although it is dangerous, there may be a turning point.

……

Jiang Yue returned from the hot spring hotel a day early without telling anyone.

She calmed down for a day and then saw Mo Chenyuan's message.

[I heard you went back. Have you thought of a solution for the account issue? If you have any requests for the company, feel free to make them!]

Jiang Yue looked disheveled these past two days, but she had figured out what would happen next.

Since they've already exposed themselves as fake socialites, they might as well be honest and admit their current predicament—it's not shameful. However, since her fans are mostly from wealthy families, doing so could potentially cause an even greater loss of followers.

She really needs to discuss this with Mo Chenyuan.

This plan is risky, and she needs the judgment of a professional. Mo Chenyuan is a good fit, after all, he is the boss, and if the decision is wrong, Jiang Yue can pass the blame.

I have an idea, but it's a bit risky, Mr. Mo. Let's talk about it now...

Jiang Yue was typing, but Mo Chenyuan replied with three words:

Let's talk in person.

Then, the address of the suite at the Emperor Hotel was sent.

Who talks about work in a hotel? Could it be that Mo Chenyuan is...?

Before Jiang Yue could even begin to speculate about whether Mo Chenyuan had ulterior motives, the other party seemed to instantly understand her wild thoughts.

I've been back in China for less than a week, haven't bought any property yet, and am currently working from a hotel.

Calm words extinguished all romantic notions.

【Okay, I understand!】

Jiang Yue sighed. What era is this? Mo Chenyuan is really not the same as before. He is no longer the poor student who relied on her "sponsorship". Now he doesn't kick his "former sugar daddy" when he's down. He's already very respectable now.

Jiang Yue's thoughts raced. If she explained to the media that she had indeed been rich and had even "kept" Mo Chenyuan, would she be considered a "true socialite"?

……never mind.

She could offend anyone, but she couldn't afford to offend Mo Chenyuan.

If she said that, she would probably be dead without a burial place.

I'll give you two hours to get here.

【today?】

Jiang Yue wanted to pull them apart a bit more, after all, today...

Little Fish pushed open the door and came in, holding an adorable bunny cake in her hands.

Happy birthday, my darling Yueyue!

After all, it's her birthday today.

Mo Chenyuan never cared about these things; he didn't celebrate his birthday and never paid attention to it.

Jiang Yue had felt wronged because of this when they were together, but Mo Chenyuan never seemed to care. Never mind, let's celebrate my birthday first.

Just then, the phone rang.

【Yes, now!】

Jiang Yue put down her phone.

"Little Fish, thank you!" Jiang Yue felt a brief warmth in her heart, then said seriously, "But I have to go out now."

"What's wrong?"

"Mo Chenyuan is looking for me!"

Little Fish exclaimed excitedly, "Mr. Mo is celebrating your birthday? Our Yueyue is truly irresistible!"

"Don't talk nonsense!" Jiang Yue quickly covered Xiaoyu's mouth. "It's about work. The boss is a workaholic, and he wants to explain now!"

"Alright then, I'll wait for you to come back!"

Xiaoyu was quite sensible; she put down the cake and hugged Jiang Yue.

"I'll celebrate my birthday properly after I'm done with this!"

Because she was going to the best hotel in Beijing, Jiang Yue at least changed into something presentable. She didn't have time to put on makeup before taking a taxi straight there.

"

【Yes, I understand.】

Jiang Yue replied quickly, while also trying to erase the unrealistic fantasies from her mind.

What era are we living in? Mo Chenyuan is no longer the same person he used to be; he's no longer a gigolo who relies on women for support.

It's good that Mo Chenyuan hasn't forgotten his roots and is now taking advantage of his "sugar daddy's" misfortune.

Actually, when Jiang Yue thought about the past and how to clarify things, she had a bold idea. How about proving she really was a rich woman, saying she had kept Mo Chenyuan as her sugar daddy?

The current CEO of a top-tier MCN company in China was once her devoted follower; he must be quite wealthy.

Jiang Yue knew that if she said this, Mo Chenyuan would definitely kill her, so she obediently gave up the idea and stopped thinking about it.

Little Fish opened the door and came in, carrying a pretty rabbit cake.

"Yueyue, happy birthday! I've come to celebrate your birthday. The cake is simple, but..."

However, given their current situation, the collaboration they were about to secure has fallen through, their account performance is at rock bottom, and they're even having trouble paying rent next month. This piece of cake was already quite good.

"Little Fish, thank you, but I have to go out for a bit!"

"Is there something wrong? Do you want me to come with you?"

"It's still Mo Chenyuan. He needs an explanation for Lin Weiwei's debunking post. He needs a plan on how to keep the account open and clear up the rumors."

"Now!"

The little fish put the cake down.

"At least eat some cake before you leave."

"Now! It's urgent! Once I'm done with this, we'll come back to celebrate my birthday!"

Jiang Yue hugged Xiaoyu and kissed her hard on the face. She didn't even have time to put on makeup; she just changed into a decent outfit and went out.

……

The lobby of the Emperor Hotel.

Jiang Yue almost missed her train due to the evening rush hour traffic jam.

I rushed to the hotel lobby, only to bump into the person I least wanted to see...

Lin Weiwei.

Lin Weiwei, dressed in an out-of-season Chanel suit, held up her phone and livestreamed her store visit.

Jiang Yue originally wanted to take a detour, but was precisely captured by the camera.

Lin Weiwei excitedly exclaimed, "Babies, guess who I ran into?"

Lin Weiwei shoved the camera right in front of Jiang Yue, her voice sickeningly sweet.
