Chapter 229 - Director, Your Feather Avatar Had Betrayed You (2/2)
“…” Song Yu was momentarily speechless. “They surely knew it was you, right?”
“…” Qi Chengzhi would never tell her that they were all referring to him as director in their comments below his post.
As expected, there was lots of joking flattery. Someone commented, “Director is such a loving husband.” Another said, “Director, your feather avatar had already betrayed your identity, are you planning on having a child?”
Luo Yushu was the best flatterer. “Director, if Mrs Director and you give birth to a child, that would be the best of both worlds since you’re so handsome and Mrs Director is so pretty. All of us would be jealous of you. Director Han would be so worried if you are not joining his company.”
Finally, he simply admitted everything and commented, “Uh-huh, I was just asking beforehand so that I could make some preparations.”
After this, the comment section was again flooded with praise. Qi Chengzhi was pleased after reading them. He adjusted his tie and sat up straight in his chair.
Qi Chengzhi conveniently separated Song Yu’s leg and removed the blanket. “I have finished massaging you, now is the time to kiss properly.”
“…” Song Yu.
Immediately after this, Qi Chengzhi stifled her with a kiss.

The next morning, Qi Chengyue was driving her Audi TT into the carpark in front of Qilin. After she parked and got out of the car, she heard a honk.
She looked toward the direction of the noise and saw Cheng Dongge’s Touareg. He drove his car toward her and parked it in the parking spot beside her car.
She watched as Cheng Dongge parked his car and came out. She pretended to tuck some of her hair behind her ears while wondering how to greet Cheng Dongge.
They had officially started their relationship on Friday night. On Saturday, they had a meeting with both of their parents at the Qi Family manor. They went on a date on Sunday and went to Viewpark Residence. However, they had never discussed how they should interact in the company and whether they should make their relationship public.
At the moment, Qi Chengyue had no idea what to do, but she felt a surge of joy when she saw Cheng Dongge. Her mouth subconsciously curved upward into a sweet and cheerful smile. All she could see was his handsome face and tall figure as her heart began beating extraordinarily fast.
She nervously swallowed her saliva as he stared into her eyes, causing her to blush.
Qi Chengyue stood there without moving. She was waiting for him to approach her.
She saw that Cheng Dongge was fixing his gaze on her. As he walked toward her, two of their colleagues walked toward them together. They greeted him when they passed by, “Special Assistant Cheng.”
Cheng Dongge nodded his head at them.
Then, they loudly greeted her from afar too, “Miss Qi.”
Qi Chengyue nodded. As they were leaving the carpark, they noticed a few more Qilin’s staff pass by them one after another.
Qi Chengyue had no other choice but to greet him too, “Special Assistant Cheng.”
Cheng Dongge stopped and raised his eyebrows at her.
Qi Chengyu’s face turned red, she pouted sulkily and looked down at the ground.
Cheng Dongge gave her a smile and strode toward her with his long legs. His tall figure stopped in front of her as he looked downward at her.
Even when standing straight, Qi Chengyue could only reach his chest. With her head down, she now appeared to be even shorter.
“Why aren’t you looking at me? Feeling guilty?” Cheng Dongge teased her.
They were standing face-to-face and very close to each other in an area which clearly exceeded the boundaries of general familiarity. Nevertheless, Qi Chengyue did not notice this as she was extremely nervous.
However, the staff who were passing by noticed their awkward situation and curiously peeked at them.
However, Cheng Dongge was unbothered by them and reached out his arm to hold Qi Chengyue’s hand.
Qi Chengyue was startled but did not withdraw her hand. Finally, she looked up with an astounded expression as her face became flushed.
“There is nothing to hide, I’m just afraid that men who are not observant enough will come chasing after you.” Cheng Dongge narrowed his eyes when he thought of the Brabus he saw that day. The person driving it looked like Li Zhuohui.
For this reason, he had dug around and found out that he had just recently divorced. He felt like turning a table over upon hearing the news.
Qi Chengyue held his hand, but she dared not lift her head. The staff who passed by slowed down their footsteps as they did not dare to completely stop in their tracks and observe, instead trying their best to just march on the spot.
The staff dared not talk when Qi Chengyue and Cheng Dongge were still around. After they left whilst still holding hands, them onlookers would immediately start to discuss and gossip raucously.
However, the staff who saw them together in the carpark represented just a minority of the total workforce. The couple were unaware of the stir they would create when they walked into Qilin together.
The staff were mentally unprepared. They were stunned as their jaws dropped when they saw the unexpected couple stroll in together.
After they left, the staff immediately started to talk about it enthusiastically. “What just happened? Did I see incorrectly?”
“Special Assistant Cheng and Miss Qi, my god!”
“Qilin’s golden bachelor is now off limits just like that! They became single for a handful of days and are now off the market again in the blink of an eye. Why couldn’t they give others a chance?”
“Qilin’s female staff will be heartbroken!”
“Yeah, we thought that our time had come when Special Assistant Cheng became single. Who would have known… sheesh!”
“I’m so jealous of her. Miss Qi just got divorced a few days ago, and now she has found a man of excellent quality. How did she do it?”
The two of them walked to the elevator where many people were waiting to go up to their floors. After a while, Qi Chengyue slowly became used to their stares.
When they walked into the elevator, they were squeezed in with others. Qi Chengyue and Cheng Dongge stood close to each other as Cheng Dongge held her hand with one of his hands while shielding her with the other.
Qi Chengyue exited the elevator at a lower floor than Cheng Dongge. When the elevator stopped, Qi Chengyue pinched his arm and embarrassedly said, “I’ve reached my floor. I’m leaving now.”
“I’ll look for you in the afternoon,” replied Cheng Dongge with a smile.
Qi Chengyue shyly returned his smile and walked out of the elevator with her head lowered.
“Manager Qi, congratulations!” All her colleagues working on the floor – regardless of if they were from the financial affairs department or the other departments — congratulated her.
Qi Chengyue was too shy to thank them. She blushed and could only nod at them with a smile.
After she left, her colleagues whispered, “Manager Qi has changed after getting into a relationship with Special Assistant Cheng. Her temper became better and she looked cute when she was blushing.”
…

Today, Song Yu was also back in her office at Chengshi as her marriage leave was over.
She picked up Qi Chengzhi’s call and clicked to open the news. “Danchen, come over here and have a look at this.”
Ruan Danchen slid toward her in her office chair. She looked at Song Yu’s computer and saw the news. It read that Ruan Danchen was a qualified and responsible designer and that she had never used materials of inferior quality nor involved herself in shoddy work to make money illegally.
The news explained that there was some misunderstanding prior to this, and that the real culprit was the other person who was also in charge of the development project.
After reading the news, Song Yu and Ruan Danchen fell silent. They both knew that the person in question was actually helping Mu Sisi to frame Ruan Danchen by replacing the materials.
Although Mu Huaisheng was not necessarily looking for a scapegoat when he turned him over, he had simultaneously managed to cover up the things that Mu Sisi did. Ruan Danchen felt uneasy as the true culprit was left unscathed.
“I think, this is more credible than if Mu Huaisheng tried to explain that this was a misunderstanding without any evidence,” said Song Yu. Although she was not satisfied with the way Mu Huaisheng resolved the incident, he did fulfill his promise of guaranteeing that he would get Ruan Danchen out of trouble.
“We’ll have to see how it goes. Even though he has given them this explanation, if the clients still choose not to trust me, there’s nothing I can do about it.” Ruan Danchen closed the news report.
Song Yu pondered for a while and whispered, “Follow me.”
Once they were on the highest floor, Song Yu said, “At first, I did not intent to tell you about this, but to make you feel better, I’ll say it now.”
“What are you talking about?” Ruan Danchen asked. She was intrigued because Song Yu had cautiously brought her to the highest floor to talk to her.
“Chengzhi was planning to sue Mu Sisi and we are collecting evidence now. After this we will have to hand them to the authorities and have to wait for the trial date,” explained Song Yu, “So rest assured that the false accusations you face won’t be left unpunished.”
“Is it good to make such a big deal out of it?” Ruan Danchen was grimacing as she felt apologetic that they were doing all this just for her.
“It’s not only because of you, Chengzhi wanted to teach Mu Sisi a lesson. In fact, even if we sue her, it will be very hard to get her sentenced due to the influence of the Mu Family. Mu Sisi will eventually be freed, so don’t get your hopes too high. Chengzhi simply wanted to make clear to her that she should know her place and behave properly. He just wanted to make her feel troubled,” said Song Yu with a smile.
Ruan Danchen grinned involuntarily. “You have become more wicked after being with him for a long time! Before this, you would never attempt to disturb others like this!”
“Let’s go, now you should feel relieved during work. Let Chengzhi handle this, we won’t allow you to be taken advantage of.” Song Yu pulled her arm as they went back to their office. “However, how about you tell me what was going on between you and my husband’s cousin?”
“What do you mean?” Ruan Danchen was stunned before she began acting stupid.
“Stop pretending, both of you are interacting differently as compared to before. Even Grandmother noticed it.” Song Yu rolled her eyes. “Last night Cheng Dongge and Chengyue surely noticed it too. Are you still trying to pretend in front of me?”
“There is nothing going on, I don’t know him well either. He saw that Youxuan likes me and was afraid that I would use Youxuan to pursue him.” Ruan Danchen rolled her eyes and sneered. “Where did he get that confidence from?”
“He said that?” Song Yu stared at Ruan Danchen in surprise. “Chenglin is not that type of person. He is actually much more normal compared to Chengzhi.”
