Chapter 38: Kissed the Wrong Person
At 9 AM, Tang Liyue boarded the private jet arranged by Yu Mo Yuan, carrying her luggage and documents.
Meanwhile, Qin Jiao Jiao, dressed in a chic designer suit dress, was happily stepping into the “Yu Group headquarters”.
As she walked, she sent a message to Tang Liyue:
【Qin Jiao Jiao: Ah Liyue, hurry up and get to work, I have a surprise for you~】
The message was sent, but there was no reply.
Qin Jiao Jiao didn’t think much of it. She simply assumed Tang Liyue was on her way to work and hadn’t checked her phone yet.
She had no idea that her dear Ah Liyue was already flying out of A City at that very moment.
Since Yu Mo Yuan personally instructed the HR department about Qin Jiao Jiao’s hiring, the HR supervisor, Liu Jiang He, had been waiting at the lobby with her employment contract and staff ID.
The moment he saw Qin Jiao Jiao, he approached with a smile.
“Excuse me, are you Miss Qin?”
“Yes, that’s me!”
Liu Jiang He politely said,
“Miss Qin, welcome. I’m the HR supervisor. I’ll be handling your onboarding today. If you sign the contract, your employment will be officially processed.”
With that, he handed over the employment contract.
His assistant, Miao Miao, also handed her a pen.
Without even glancing at the contract, Qin Jiao Jiao quickly signed her name and eagerly asked,
“Where’s the CEO’s office?”
Liu Jiang He responded,
“It’s on the top floor. Just tap your staff card in the elevator, and it’ll take you straight up.”
“Got it, thanks! I’m in a hurry to get upstairs, I’ll buy you coffee later, bye!”
As soon as she finished speaking, she dashed into the elevator, heels clicking, and pressed the top floor button.
Her obvious excitement left Liu Jiang He and Miao Miao stunned.
If someone didn’t know better, they’d think she was rushing to see her lover, not starting a new job.
Miao Miao and Liu Jiang He exchanged glances.
Miao Miao muttered,
“Has Second Master been possessed or something? He never used to hire female assistants. Now he suddenly hired two in a row? Will there be a third one tomorrow?”
Liu Jiang He shrugged,
“Who knows?”
Meanwhile, Qin Jiao Jiao had already arrived on the top floor.
The lights were still off, meaning she was the first one there.
She couldn’t find the light switch, but she didn’t care.
She rushed into the assistant’s office and hid behind the door.
“Hehehe, when Liyue walks in, I’ll jump out and hug her! I wonder if she’ll get scared!”
The assistant’s office had no windows, and without the lights on, it was pitch dark.
Qin Jiao Jiao waited in place for a few minutes
Finally, she heard footsteps approaching.
It wasn’t the sound of high heels, nor was it the sound of leather shoes, it was the sound of casual sneakers.
Qin Jiao Jiao got excited.
Casual sneakers, that’s right! Tang Liyue loves wearing sneakers and canvas shoes the most!
At that moment, the assistant’s office door opened.
The person had only taken two steps inside when Qin Jiao Jiao suddenly jumped forward and hugged them tightly.
She exclaimed excitedly,
“Ah Liyue! Are you surprised? Are you happy? Come here, kiss kiss kiss!”
As she spoke, she grabbed the person’s face and muahhh, planted several big kisses on their cheek.
After a few kisses, something felt off.
“Liyue, did you stop using face masks? Why does your skin feel less soft?”
“…”
Qin Jiao Jiao touched the person’s hair again.
“Why did you tie your hair into a low ponytail? And why do you feel taller?”
“…”
Wait a minute.
Tang Liyue’s waist was super slim, when Qin Jiao Jiao hugged her, her hands could touch her own elbows.
But this person? She could barely clasp her hands together around their waist!
“AHHHH—!”
Qin Jiao Jiao “screamed” and immediately let go.
At that moment, the person who had just been hugged and kissed multiple times finally spoke.
It was Yuan Suo.
His voice was frustrated:
“I was the one who got harassed. Why are YOU the one screaming?”
…A MAN?!
“AHHHHH—!” Qin Jiao Jiao screamed even louder.
Yuan Suo, now completely pissed off, switched on the office lights.
Before he could even see clearly who had kissed him, a punch suddenly landed straight on his left eye.
Yuan Suo shouted in pain, “WHAT THE F—?!”
This was outrageous!
Getting harassed early in the morning was one thing, But then getting punched right after?!
If he could tolerate this, his name wouldn’t be Yuan Suo!
He raised his hand, ready to grab Qin Jiao Jiao by the collar, but before he could even touch her.
Qin Jiao Jiao yelled loudly:
“I’m telling you! I, Qin Jiao Jiao, am NOT someone you can mess with! My dad is the Director of the Industry and Commerce Bureau! My brother is even more powerful! If you dare lay a hand on me, you’ll be in BIG trouble!”
Her words made Yuan Suo pause.
With his left eye still throbbing in pain, he narrowed his right eye and scanned Qin Jiao Jiao from head to toe.
Then, he asked, “Wait, you’re Old Qin’s precious little sister?”
Huh?
He knows my brother?
Only then did Qin Jiao Jiao finally dare to take a proper look at Yuan Suo.
He was good-looking, she had to admit.
But, he was a grown man with long hair, which made him look soft and scheming.
Annoying.
Of course, the real reason she found him annoying wasn’t his androgynous appearance.
It was because she had kissed the wrong person and was now angry at herself.
And when she was mad, she needed someone to blame.
So, Yuan Suo became her scapegoat, Even every cell on his body irritated her.
With a snort, she lifted her chin arrogantly.
“You know my brother?”
Yuan Suo, whose left eye wasn’t throbbing as badly anymore, finally lowered his hand.
“Not only do I know him, but he and I have been through life-and-death situations together.”
“I don’t believe you!”
“Call him then!”
“Fine! I will!”
Qin Jiao Jiao immediately pulled out her phone and dialed Qin Shi An.
The call connected within seconds.
“Hello?”
“Brother! Do you know,”
She glared at Yuan Suo.
“What’s your name?”
Yuan Suo snatched her phone and put it on speaker.
“Old Qin! Where the hell are you? You better stand up for me!”
—
An old assistant and an old assistant’s new assistant both skipped work and ended up at Ming Yue You You Milk Tea Shop.
—
On the second-floor terrace…
Yuan Suo clung to Qin Shi An’s arm like a grievance-filled widow.
“Old Qin! Your sister is too much! You told me she was cute and lively, but she’s just a rude, wild brat!”
Qin Jiao Jiao, meanwhile, was staring at how Yuan Suo was holding onto her brother’s arm.
Ding!
A bad thought popped into her head.
This soft-looking, long-haired guy… Could he be GAY?!
Her brother and him…
No! No way!
Her brother likes Liyue!
Qin Jiao Jiao shook her head violently, trying to get rid of the ridiculous ideas in her mind.
Then, she planted her hands on her hips and declared,
“I’m the one being unreasonable?! Why were you in the assistant’s office?!”
Yuan Suo exploded.
“I’M THE DAMN CEO’S ASSISTANT! Where else am I supposed to be?!”
“I don’t care! You took advantage of me, so don’t act all innocent!”
—
Having rushed back overnight, only to sleep for a few hours before being woken up, Qin Shi An’s head was about to explode.
He rubbed his temples and said,
“Enough, Old Yuan. You’re a grown man. Can’t you just let her be?”
Yuan Suo’s eyes widened.
“So just because I’m a man, I have to give in to a woman?”
“Men don’t have to give in to women, but can’t you make an exception for my sister?”
Since Qin Shi An had put it that way, Yuan Suo had no choice but to sigh and say,
“Fine, for your sake.”
Qin Jiao Jiao snorted proudly.
“Hmph! Who cares about your pity? With your skills, you might not even be able to beat me.”
Yuan Suo was stunned.
“Has your brother never told you what I do for a living?”
“Aren’t you just an assistant? A mere worker!”
Yuan Suo: “Ah, yeah, sure, sure.”
Qin Shi An pinched the bridge of his nose and sighed.
“Jiao Jiao, that’s enough. Stop causing trouble.”
“Hmph! I’m done with this stupid job!”
Qin Jiao Jiao grabbed her bag.
“I’m not playing with you guys anymore.”
With that, she turned on her heel and left.
Leaving Qin Shi An and Yuan Suo alone on the small terrace, staring at each other.
Qin Shi An let out a helpless sigh.
“Forgive her. She’s been spoiled by our family. But… you and Jiao Jiao really don’t know each other?”
Yuan Suo rolled his eyes.
“How could we? You’ve always kept your precious little sister under lock and key. You never brought her around, so where would I have met her?”
Qin Shi An narrowed his eyes slightly.
Yuan Suo noticed.
“What?”
Qin Shi An shook his head lightly.
“Nothing… I just assumed you two knew each other because last night, she threw a tantrum about wanting to be an assistant.”
Yuan Suo immediately understood.
“Then there must’ve been a mix-up. She probably wanted to be Old Yu’s new assistant.”
When working at the corporate office or handling business affairs, Yuan Suo referred to Yu Mo Yuan as “Second Master.”
After all, his “executive assistant” title was just a cover for his real identity, the boss of MX.
But since they were in private, he casually called them “Old Qin” and “Old Yu.”
Hearing that Yu Mo Yuan had a new assistant, Qin Shi An raised an intrigued eyebrow.
“Who’s the new assistant?”
Yuan Suo smirked.
“Now, this is where it gets messy. Old Yu’s new assistant is Minchuan’s newlywed wife.”
“……”
Qin Shi An was stunned for a moment.
Then, he burst into low laughter.
“Now that is some serious drama.”
He wasn’t usually a gossip-loving guy.
But he did remember Yu Mo Yuan mentioning Minchuan’s situation briefly when they were on the OX cruise.
So he didn’t press further.
Standing up, Qin Shi An stretched.
“Well, now that we’re both awake, let’s go grab some food.”
“Sounds good. You rarely come back from the sea. My treat.”
With that, the two brothers left Ming Yue You You to get breakfast.
