He didn't know how to handle the situation and could only leave it to his CEO, who was indeed not to be trifled with. He swore he didn't intentionally ruin the CEO's major life event…
Xuan Mohan had spotted the other party the moment they appeared. His face darkened as he looked at them. In a flash, a silent battle erupted between them. Those who were sensible quickly scurried away, fearing they might get caught in the crossfire. This included the manager, who was the leader…
In the ensuing silence, Jian You looked at both sides, preparing to step forward. However, a man beside her grabbed her arm and pulled her behind him.
A chilling aura emanated from Xuan Mohan, and his unconcealed bloodlust made him look somewhat terrifying. His eyes, sharp as blades, fixed on the man leading the group. "Mr. Norman, do you have an explanation for me?"
"Hmph! I've already been lenient." If it weren't for his daughter being present, whom he feared he might frighten, he would never have let this matter go so easily. He would have made sure Xuan Mohan couldn't even get up!
Hearing the man opposite him speak with undisguised arrogance, Xuan Mohan's eyes instantly turned pitch black. A cruel smirk curved his lips. Very few dared to cause trouble in front of him. If the man had admitted his mistake, he might have turned a blind eye given the joyous occasion. But with such an attitude, he couldn't be blamed for not being polite!
Xuan Mohan slowly adjusted his cuffs, his expression calmer than ever. Only Li An knew that his CEO was on the verge of a furious outburst. Today, everyone present, except for the young madam, was unlikely to have a good time…
Jian You, who had been firmly protected behind him, also noticed this. She couldn't bear to watch the two argue and stepped forward.
"Sir, what are you doing?"
Jian You's tone held no accusation, only a simple inquiry, as she understood the gentleman to be a man of great demeanor who wouldn't act without reason.
This seemingly normal action caused Xuan Mohan's heart to sink. He saw a hint of favoritism in Jian You's eyes. This man was disrupting their auspicious event, and she wasn't angry at all? Or perhaps she didn't care?
The influence Jian You had over Xuan Mohan was undeniable. With just one action, his heart felt as if it were being pricked by needles. He couldn't fathom any other reason for her apparent indifference…
Jian You, oblivious to Xuan Mohan's distress, waited earnestly for an answer.
Facing the two, Normanis's attitude was worlds apart. He looked at Jian You with kindness and tenderness. "Are you adjusting well here? Have you recovered? Have you been eating properly lately?"
Xuan Mohan, standing behind Jian You, could no longer contain himself. He abruptly pulled Jian You closer to him, his entire demeanor radiating a burning aura. "She is my woman. She doesn't need your concern, much less this kind of 'special attention'…"
He feared that he might truly lose control and reveal his brutal side in front of his beloved. Today was a good day, and he was willing to swallow his pride for the moment.
Exhaling heavily, Xuan Mohan continued with a threat. "Terminate Jian You's contract immediately. Li An, go and transfer the penalty fee to Mr. Norman. I request everyone who is not involved to leave now, otherwise… no one will be leaving today!"
"Is that so?" Normanis sneered. Not only did he not leave, but he walked further in. No one dared to stop his imposing presence.
Without another word, Normanis walked to the other side, directly grabbed Jian You's slender arm, and prepared to take his precious daughter away.
At this moment, Xuan Mohan could no longer control the violent impulses within him. He suddenly reached out and grabbed Normanis's wrist with terrifying strength. "Let go."
Two equally outstanding men, both acting for the people they cared about, found each other unbearable at that moment.
In Jian You's eyes, it was more than just an unpleasant sight; the two were on the verge of fighting. Especially seeing the veins bulge on Xuan Mohan's hand, she knew he was exerting considerable force. Thus, Jian You unhesitatingly grabbed Xuan Mohan's tensed hand.
"Xuan Mohan, relax. Sir means no harm. Let go and speak properly."
Unbeknownst to her, this statement further provoked him. It meant his beloved woman had chosen someone else over him in front of a stranger, which made him feel terrible.
However, looking at his little woman's clear eyes, he had no choice but to release his grip. In the end, his little woman was more important.
Li An appeared beside Xuan Mohan at some point, shielding him in a defensive posture. He stared at his CEO, dumbfounded.
Had his proud CEO bowed to someone else? No, more accurately, the CEO had yielded to the young madam's influence. It seemed the young madam was the ultimate victor. He hoped the young madam would treat the CEO well in the future, lest he suffer too much.
Since the CEO had taken a step back, he naturally couldn't stand at the forefront.
What appeared to be a peaceful atmosphere was, in reality, becoming even more strained.
Jian You looked at the utterly bewildering scene and turned her gaze to the man who shouldn't have been there.
"Sir, why are you here?"
Shouldn't he have gone back already? At the very least, he should be at his wife's family home. How could he be in S City, and at such a specific place as the Civil Affairs Bureau? Jian You saw no other explanation than that he was here for them.
"I had some business to attend to here. I thought it had been a long time since I saw you, so I came to check on you. Have you recovered? Does it still hurt?"
Perhaps stimulated by Xuan Mohan, Normanis's words could no longer hide his emotions. He even pulled Jian You closer and examined her from head to toe.
Li An looked at his CEO with a clenched fist, his heart aching. He couldn't bear to watch him suppress his emotions like this. Apart from the young madam, no one dared to make the CEO feel this way.
Yet, the young madam was chatting quite happily with the other man.
"I'm fine. I've recovered a lot. Has Madam arrived?" She guessed that Madam must have arrived, and indeed, she heard her Sir's joyful voice.
"She has also come. Why don't you come back with me for lunch? Madam misses you very much and has been mentioning you constantly."
He persuaded her repeatedly, and it was only then that Qianya restrained herself from coming. If anyone missed her, it was no less than him.
This… She also liked Madam very much, but… Looking at Xuan Mohan's petty and sullen face, she felt it was better to… forget it.
"We are here…"
As Jian You glanced around, Normanis immediately interjected, "Madam is feeling a little unwell, so I hope you can go and keep her company."
His words caused Jian You's heart to suddenly race. This strange feeling made her frown.
The two big men interpreted her reaction as concern for Yao Qianya.
"What's wrong with Madam…"
Seeing Jian You's suddenly pale face, Normanis quickly explained, "It's nothing, don't worry too much. She might just be suffering from acclimatization and needs to rest well. It's just… I thought she has always liked you, and with you there, she might recover faster."
In order to separate the two, Normanis resorted to lying about his beloved wife. He felt a pang of guilt, but he was also worried about his daughter. Xuan Mohan's appearance made him deeply uneasy.
Before Jian You could reply, Xuan Mohan said sarcastically, "Since she needs to rest, then let her 'rest well.' If she's ill, she should be seeing a doctor…"
