A pampered young lady from a wealthy family is reborn, choosing a rich wife over a rich man.

Noticing Xie Lingfeng's indescribable expression, Meng Zhixue could only sigh: "The bigwigs in the entertainment industry are indeed very knowledgeable."

He knew everything about BL dramas and going into business!

If she tells others that she doesn't like men, they will only suspect that she likes money.

But when she said this to Xie Lingfeng, he not only suspected that she liked money, but also suspected that she liked women, and even worried that she was thinking about his sister.

A fiercely protective brother.

Meng Zhixue was speechless and helpless, but also happy for Xie Wei.

She quickly explained, "President Xie, please don't worry, I have no interest in women, and I certainly didn't come to work for the Xie family because I have any bad intentions towards Sister Xie Wei!"

"Really?" Xie Lingfeng asked in return.

"Of course!" Meng Zhixue said firmly, then, as if remembering something, she gave him a complicated look and said, "Even if I were to have designs on you, I would never have designs on Sister Xie Wei..."

Her original intention was to express her innocence and determination.

Otherwise, if someone says, "I would rather have my eye on a dog than on Sister Xie Wei," that would be extremely disrespectful to her.

Unexpectedly, Xie Lingfeng looked surprised and suddenly smiled: "Oh, you really want to make a move on me? Then I advise you to give up the idea as soon as possible. I have no interest in someone as two-faced as you."

Meng Zhixue was stunned: "...???!!!"

No, she hadn't thought of that!

She wasn't interested in him either!

"Speak!" Xie Lingfeng said again. "If you don't speak, you won't get to eat the xiaolongbao."

Meng Zhixue was startled again.

No way, really?

A powerful businessman threatened her with xiaolongbao (soup dumplings)? Where's his class?

Meeting Xie Lingfeng's cool gaze, and remembering his words about her being two-faced, Meng Zhixue actually felt a bit rebellious and deliberately asked, "Then what should I do? I can't control my feelings. I'm just interested in you."

She thought Xie Lingfeng would be angry, but to her surprise, he raised an eyebrow and asked with interest, "So, what are you planning to do to get my attention?"

Meng Zhixue thought for a moment and said, "Didn't you always say that I was playing hard to get? Yes, yes, I've decided to stay away from you to attract your attention."

Does that mean, how far away from him will she be?

Xie Lingfeng: "..."

After a moment of silence, he suddenly burst into laughter.

The man, whose expression was always gloomy and wicked, now had clear phoenix eyes, and the smile on his face was like a ray of light shining down from the clouds.

But he quickly composed himself, letting out a soft snort and saying, "You wish."

Meng Zhixue: "...Hmm?"

It should be said that she coveted him, but she was dreaming, right?

That's good.

Continue to maintain this confidence, ignore her, and coldly reject her; she'd be more than happy to accept it!

……

After seeing Xie Lingfeng to the door and secretly learning that he was flying abroad that night and wouldn't be coming back to Villa 28 before Xie Wei returned home, Meng Zhixue was in a very good mood.

She spent the whole day playing with Zhuangzhuang.

To devote oneself entirely to it.

She stayed with the baby, and the baby healed her.

However, when she saw Zhao Yuanzhou arrive at her door at 7 p.m., her expression went blank and she was dumbfounded.

She said she felt like she had forgotten something, and it turns out it was this!

...I forgot to tell Zhou Yu that she wanted to fire Zhao Yuanzhou.

"Miss Meng, good evening." Zhao Yuanzhou smiled politely and extended his hand. "It's a pleasure to see you again."

Meng Zhixue: "..."

No, she's not happy.

Seeing Zhao Yuanzhou's outstretched hand, she blinked, showing no intention of reaching out.

All she can think about right now is how to find an excuse to cancel her evening tutoring class.

I really don't want to be alone with Zhao Yuanzhou anymore.

He doesn't die, she does.

The little animal's intuition told her that his motive for bringing up that incident from high school last time was strange and made her feel uneasy.

"I..." Meng Zhixue decided to confront him directly.

However, before she could even speak, a gentle autumn breeze blew, and a small cluster of half-withered golden osmanthus blossoms drifted down onto the top of her head.

"Don't move," Zhao Yuanzhou suddenly said.

He smiled gently and reached out to remove the osmanthus blossom from her hair, then lightly kissed it under her nose, looking at her and saying, "It smells wonderful."

It should be describing the fragrance of flowers, but that's too ambiguous.

Meng Zhixue's face flushed instantly, and she subconsciously took a step back, her almond-shaped eyes glaring at him warily as she avoided his inappropriate movement.

Almost simultaneously, a sinister voice suddenly rang out behind her.

"It seems I've returned at an inopportune time, and have disturbed you both?"

Meng Zhixue felt a chill on the back of her neck and turned her head with a tingling sensation on her scalp.

Xie Lingfeng stood behind her with one hand in his pocket, a black trench coat casually draped over his arm, and a car key hooked between the fingers of his other hand, looking as if he had just come out of the garage.

A cold smile played on his lips. His gaze was icy, but when it landed on her face, it felt like it was burning a hole in her skin.

"Didn't you go abroad? What country could you be traveling to and from so quickly?" Meng Zhixue was speechless, feeling like she had been tricked again.

Xie Lingfeng's gaze swept back and forth between her and Zhao Yuanzhou, and she scoffed coldly, "Oh, you believe whatever I say? Where's your brain?"

Meng Zhixue: "...?"

"If I really went abroad, how could I have witnessed this spectacular scene?" Xie Lingfeng said. "You were flirting with Zhou Yu while also eyeing me. Two men weren't enough for you, so now you've hooked up with someone new, haven't you?"

"...This is the tutor Zhou Yu hired for me, what nonsense are you talking about?" Meng Zhixue suppressed the urge to roll her eyes and explained, "But I don't need a tutor for now, I'm just about to tell Teacher Zhao that I don't need to attend classes anymore."

"A tutor?" Xie Lingfeng said sarcastically. "Oh, a tutor also pats the student on the head and provides psychological support? You'd better be genuinely learning, not just playing role-playing games."

Meng Zhixue: "..."

What?

This person had even more nonsense in their head than she did, leaving her speechless.

Zhao Yuanzhou remained calm and said, "Since Mr. Xie doesn't believe it, why don't you call President Zhou to verify?"

Xie Lingfeng's eyes turned cold, and he chuckled lightly, "Fine, since you're so bold, I'll call Zhou Yu and ask him if he has a cuckold fetish."

Zhao Yuanzhou smiled slightly, showing no sign of panic.

Meng Zhixue: "...!!!"

Yes, yes, you're all very courageous, except for her.

...Yes, she really has no guts.

But she didn't want to cause trouble.

She wasn't afraid that Xie Lingfeng would call Zhou Yu and talk about Zhao Yuanzhou, because she had a clear conscience and there was really nothing between her and Zhao Yuanzhou.

She was worried that Xie Lingfeng would talk nonsense, and that Zhou Yu would speculate on her motives for quitting the tutoring job based on Zhao Yuanzhou's actions, and press her for the reasons.

"How could I trouble you, Mr. Xie? How about I call Young Master Zhou and tell him?" Meng Zhixue offered. "Young Master Zhou hired a tutor for me, and I don't need him anymore. It's better if I call him myself."
