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

The belated realization brought about by embarrassment and awkwardness.

Jiang Yue wiped her face again; it was still wet.

What did Jiang Yue do wrong in the whole affair with Mo Chenyuan? She just liked someone and gave him her heart and money. She did nothing wrong.

Mo Chenyuan was not wrong either.

If her boss were someone else today, Jiang Yue wouldn't feel a ripple in her heart, let alone sign Lin Weiwei. Even if she were to be with Lin Weiwei, she wouldn't be able to do so.

But this person happens to be Mo Chenyuan, making everything seem deliberate and ruthless.

She sniffed and said, "It's none of your business."

Mo Chenyuan frowned, probably because Jiang Yue's behavior was inexplicable, and took a step inside.

Lin Mu, standing behind Mo Chenyuan, quickly tried to smooth things over when he saw Jiang Yue crying: "Miss Jiang, what's wrong? The boss went to great lengths to arrange the set and props to help you salvage your image and reputation, what's wrong with you...?"

"Does my business even matter anymore? Mo Chenyuan, didn't you already have a backup plan? If you want compensation, or want me to do something, just say so. The original contract is still in effect. Even if I'm ruined, I will cooperate with the company's arrangements!"

Jiang Yue thought she was very cool. She took a deep breath, stiffened her neck, and prepared to walk out.

Now, there's no need to talk about anything anymore.

"A backup plan? If you don't like it, you can ask Lin Mu to change it!"

Jiang Yue shook off Mo Chenyuan: "I don't like Lin Weiwei, can you tell her to get lost?"

Mo Chenyuan fell silent for a moment.

Then he replied, "Okay, I'll think of something!"

Jiang Yue didn't believe it and stepped out. In that instant, Jiang Yue was surprised.

She seemed to have stumbled into Alice's dream; a vast expanse of champagne roses exaggeratedly covered two roads, a scene somewhat reminiscent of a previous internet celebrity's marriage proposal.

Balloons and boxes of countless luxury goods were piled up like small mountains, an outrageously extravagant display.

"Mo Chenyuan, who are you going to propose to?" These were Jiang Yue's subconscious words. Then she thought about it and realized that Lin Weiwei was downstairs. Could this be some kind of signing gimmick?

Thinking about it, Jiang Yue became even angrier.

Who says men can't appreciate romance? Mo Chenyuan does it very well, doesn't he? He's received treatments that he himself spent millions on but never enjoyed, while some people get them effortlessly.

"I just saw Lin Weiwei downstairs!" Mo Chenyuan walked out, speaking bluntly, "Don't overthink it, it's all for work!"

Jiang Yue was torn between being angry and amused by the whole situation, especially regarding her work with Lin Weiwei. She was angry because everything was for Lin Weiwei, but amused because it wasn't a proposal after all. Jiang Yue even thought that if these two really got together, it would be the most unacceptable thing in the world.

Things are bad, but not completely bad.

"I won't keep you any longer!"

Jiang Yue waved her hand, pretending to be indifferent.

She didn't even show the slightest reaction.

Mo Chenyuan's handsome brows furrowed slightly. He'd done so much, and she was still dissatisfied? He remembered how easily Jiang Yue used to be satisfied. Now, even though she'd provoked him first, nothing he did seemed right: "Lin Weiwei said it was your birthday today. Are you lying?"

"It's my birthday!"

Jiang Yue then realized what had happened, and her heart, which had been dead, began to thaw slightly: "So, Mo Chenyuan, you prepared all this for me, not for Lin Weiwei."

"Yes, I..."

The question was too direct, and Lin Mu was momentarily embarrassed. Seeing that Mo Chenyuan wasn't good with words, he was afraid Jiang Yue would misunderstand his boss's good intentions. Having worked with Mo Chenyuan for a year, he'd encountered quite a few women with wild romantic entanglements, and seen all sorts of embarrassing situations, but Mo Chenyuan only had work on his mind. Not wanting Jiang Yue to misunderstand, Lin Mu quickly intervened, "Miss Jiang, please don't overthink it. The company values ​​the contract you have; it's the first project our boss has taken on. Therefore, the company is investing resources to protect your image and help dispel the rumors about you being a fake socialite. This was indeed arranged by the boss!"

"is that so?"

Jiang Yue turned around and looked at Mo Chenyuan.

Mo Chenyuan almost blurted out his explanation, then said, "Yes, did you think I was celebrating your birthday?"

"I don't think so!"

Jiang Yue felt somewhat disappointed, but she walked towards the pile of things.

It must be tough on Mo Chenyuan. This exaggerated old-fashioned style must be the company's decision to keep her persona intact, or even make it more flamboyant.

This went against Jiang Yue's original plan, and her idea of ​​speaking the truth and being herself was forced to stop.

Never mind, it's the boss's arrangement, so I won't say anything more.

"You don't like it?" Mo Chenyuan noticed Jiang Yue's reaction and felt a little annoyed.

He didn't like this style, but Lin Mu said that girls like Jiang Yue all like it. Before, when he was with Jiang Yue, she never made any demands. She was easygoing about meals, shopping, and dates—the only thing she wouldn't be easy about…

But Mo Chenyuan wasn't so casual back then. If things had gone that far, they should at least have gotten engaged, since they were both still studying...

However, having accidentally stumbled into Lin Weiwei's live stream, Mo Chenyuan couldn't resist helping her out.

"I like it, but it's too exaggerated. You're displaying so many fake boxes, who would believe a normal person would buy so many? It'll cause a scandal later. It's a company arrangement!"

Jiang Yue casually poked at them, and those Hermes and Chanel boxes scattered all over the floor with a clatter, the valuable luxury goods lying on the ground like garbage.

Holy crap, this is really good.

It's real at first glance.

This is really a huge investment.

Jiang Yue picked up a bag: "Do I need to return these after taking the photos?"

"Yes..." Lin Mu was about to answer when Jiang Chenyan interrupted him: "I don't have a girlfriend, so there's no use for her. You can get rid of her after you finish filming."

Jiang Yue was so generous that she suspected these were all fakes; otherwise, why would they have so much money to burn?

Hmm, maybe it's because Mo Chenyuan wants to prove to himself that he's very rich.

He had taken several million from himself before, and now he's getting some of it back.

Jiang Yue nodded, accepting the gift readily.

"I left in a hurry, and Xiaoyu isn't here, so it's inconvenient to take photos. Could you please trouble Assistant Lin...?"

Jiang Yue handed her phone to Lin Mu, intending to ask him for help. The two of them started chatting enthusiastically, while Mo Chenyuan became invisible.

Mo Chenyuan coughed twice: "Lin Mu, prepare the company's financial reports for the next three years!"

"It wasn't like that before..." Lin Mu wanted to refute, but Mo Chenyuan had already seen it. Seeing Mo Chenyuan's darkening face, he immediately replied, "I'll go to the company to get it right away. As for Miss Jiang, I'll hire someone else!"

"No need, I'll do it!"

Mo Chenyuan took Jiang Yue's phone without hesitation.

"You just mentioned composition and... say it again."

Jiang Yue walked over and casually picked up a few similar photos.

"That's about it. Boss, see if you can understand this. If not, I'll call Xiaoyu over!"

Lin Mu had already left, leaving only the two of them in the room. Mo Chenyuan didn't understand why Jiang Yue and Lin Mu had taken so long to explain something that could be said in just a few words. He had followed Jiang Yue's instructions very quickly.

Both the finished product and the video are excellent.

Jiang Yue was already prepared to scold Mo Chenyuan, since most photos taken by straight men are disliked.

Moreover, Mo Chenyuan is the ultimate straight man.

Jiang Yue was impressed when she saw Mo Chenyuan immediately putting his newfound knowledge to use.

"Great!"

As Jiang Yue was formatting the layout, she unconsciously made a compliment. When she looked up again, Mo Chenyuan was walking over with a cake.

"The cake and dinner are ready. I have no experience celebrating birthdays..." Mo Chenyuan's voice deepened a bit. "I don't know what to do! I don't eat sweets. Lin Mu prepared dinner, so don't waste it."

As soon as Mo Chenyuan finished speaking, Jiang Yue smeared some cream on Mo Chenyuan's cheek: "Here, do whatever you want. I was telling you how pitiful you were before, that no one even celebrated your birthday."

"What's it to you?" Mo Chenyuan's face remained expressionless. "Besides, I don't need it!"

His indifferent tone, as always, made Jiang Yue lose interest in the red wine and steak in front of her. However, her stomach was growling; she hadn't eaten all day and was indeed hungry.

Since someone was paying the bill, Jiang Yue sat down gracefully, first taking a large gulp of red wine to relieve her thirst, and then casually picking up her knife and fork.

In the best suite in the capital, with candlelight flickering and roses surrounding you, having dinner with such a handsome man, it's normal to eat and drink to your heart's content and leave nothing behind.

But Mo Chenyuan was sitting opposite her, and the atmosphere was so awkward that he couldn't eat.

When Mo Chenyuan saw that Jiang Yue remained silent, he didn't look up but spoke first: "Jiang Yue, did you really break up with me back then for a man like this?"

Mo Chenyuan was also slightly tipsy. He tightened his grip on the knife and fork and asked the question directly.

After he finished speaking, the room fell silent; you could hear a pin drop.

"I can see it, but I can't have it. Mr. Mo, you're so handsome, I'm not reconciled!"

Mo Chenyuan looked up, and Jiang Yue's eyes were filled with a hint of infatuation!
