Eternal Love: The Billionaire's Relentless Pursuit-Chapter 135 - 129: Let’s See If You Still Want That Face

The secretary was taken aback when she heard Bai Yiran’s words; so this is the legendary president’s wife. She smiled and said, "Alright, please wait while I ask for instructions."

The secretary’s internal line connected directly to Leng Yichen’s office. She explained that Bai Yiran was waiting outside, then quietly listened to the response from the other end of the line.

A moment later, the door to Leng Yichen’s office opened. Bai Yiran thought it was him, but it was Qi Hui, elegantly walking out in her fitted suit.

Qi Hui saw Bai Yiran and smiled faintly, with little respect in her eyes, "Sorry, the president is very busy!"

Bai Yiran glanced at the office door, then at Qi Hui. The phrase "the president is busy" could be interpreted in several ways: one, that he was busy and had no time to see her; two, that he might be busy but didn’t want to see her; three, that he wasn’t busy but just didn’t want to see her...

Anna’s eyebrows furrowed slightly as she looked at Qi Hui. Having been a secretary by Leng Yichen’s side for many years, her observational skills were naturally above average. She had long noticed Qi Hui’s little schemes, but she hadn’t expected Qi Hui to directly provoke Bai Yiran now.

Bai Yiran really wanted to ask Leng Yichen if he was genuinely busy or just making excuses not to see her, but she feared the answer might embarrass her if she actually asked.

After all, they had just had an unpleasant argument, very unpleasant, over the birth control issue.

"You should go back first; the president probably won’t see you today," Qi Hui said with a tone of amusement. If she was facing someone with a bit more experience and seniority than Bai Yiran, she would have certainly been scolded.

However, Bai Yiran couldn’t think of this now; she didn’t even catch the nuance in Qi Hui’s tone.

"Tell him to call me when he’s done; I have something to discuss with him," Bai Yiran forced a smile, turned, and walked out. At this moment, she thought that if she were Gu Manli, maybe she would charge into Leng Yichen’s office irrespective of face and consequences and confront him whether he was truly busy or just pretending.

So, in the end, she was still cowardly, even if she had doubts, she didn’t dare to verify them.

Anna looked at Qi Hui, a smile on her lips.

Qi Hui felt uncomfortable under Anna’s gaze, "Sister Anna, why are you looking at me?"

Anna sneered, her words tinged with sarcasm, "I’m wondering if you still want to keep that face of yours."

"What do you mean by that?" Qi Hui was displeased.

"Nothing much," Anna turned calmly, "Next time, address madam with ’you,’ remember your status!"

With that, Anna clicked her high heels and went after the already distant Bai Yiran.

Humiliated by Anna’s scolding, Qi Hui’s expression turned gloomy and fierce. Previously, Anna had been Leng Yichen’s chief secretary, so everyone was very polite to her. Now, Anna is merely a senior assistant at Bai’s, what gives her the right to be so proud?

What Qi Hui didn’t know was that Anna was the person Leng Yichen trusted the most; otherwise, he wouldn’t have assigned her to be by Bai Yiran’s side. Anna knew this, so she was determined to fully support and help Bai Yiran.

Bai Yiran’s car was a Volvo CX90, purchased for its low profile. She was used to driving herself everywhere. Even now, as the company manager, she kept this habit. She and Leng Yichen were different. Leng Yichen required numerous social engagements, where drinking was inevitable, but ever since the incident, Bai Yiran had hardly touched a drop of alcohol.

In the car, Bai Yiran was driving, and Anna sat in the passenger seat, "President Bai, don’t worry, I will keep an eye on Huamei’s activities."

Bai Yiran chuckled, "Anna, do you think this makes you a traitor to Huamei?"

"How could it? Good things are meant to be shared!" Anna smiled with pursed lips.

"From now on, don’t call me President Bai, just call me Yiran."

"How is that possible?"

"It’s possible, you are not just my assistant, you are my teacher and my friend. Calling me President Bai feels awkward; just call me Yiran. You’re the only one in the company who can do that!"

Anna looked at Bai Yiran, this simple girl, does she treat anyone as a friend the moment they’re a little nice to her?

The car was already within the range of Bai’s Building, when suddenly someone darted out in front of them, stretching out their arms to block the vehicle. Bai Yiran was startled and hurriedly slammed on the brakes.

The car finally came to a steady stop, and she looked up to see the person standing with arms outstretched in front of the car.

Luo Chen!
