Celestial Night Emperor

Chapter 76: Chapter 76: Yuan Jingjing’s Lover?

Yuan Jingjing and Qin Tianxuan were actually working together quite well.

Qin Tianxuan would show his face in the morning, then head out to the park to feed the pigeons and, while he was at it, hold a meeting with his brothers from the Northern Domain Battle Department.

He would return to the company cafeteria for lunch, and in the afternoon, with no meetings to attend, he would leisurely go out and amuse himself as usual.

Meanwhile, Yuan Jingjing still had to text Han Biwei back.

”Ah, your husband is doing great! He’s fantastic, adapting very quickly!”

”No problem, he’s definitely capable of handling the work. I’ll arrange for his official onboarding right away!”

Putting down her phone, Yuan Jingjing clutched her head, feeling like she was going to lose her mind.

By Qin Tianxuan’s third day on the job, rumors were already starting to spread around the office.

”That new guy, Qin, what’s his relationship with Supervisor Yuan?”

”Yeah, they eat lunch together, they leave work together... Demoness Yuan usually tears us a new one for the smallest thing, so how come she’s as meek as a kitten meeting a wolf whenever she sees Qin Tianxuan?”

”Could it be... they’re a couple?”

”No way! Our Supervisor Yuan is gorgeous and has an incredible family background. She’s said more than once that she wants to find a devoted man who’s unparalleled in power, devastatingly handsome, and a billionaire. That’s just a side effect of watching too many K-dramas, for fuck’s sake.”

”Yeah, and look at our sales boss, Director Li. He’s been chasing Demoness Yuan for almost half a year, right? And he still hasn’t won her over. That Qin Tianxuan guy looks like a total bumpkin. It’s impossible.”

That’s what they said, but the dynamic between Yuan Jingjing and Qin Tianxuan was still just as strange.

At lunchtime, Yuan Jingjing carried over a fruit salad and slammed it down on the table across from Qin Tianxuan with a CLATTER.

She sat down, clearly annoyed. ”The office is starting to spread rumors about us. Mr. Qin, you absolutely must be more careful!”

Qin Tianxuan put down his chopsticks. ”Just put up with it for two more days. I’ll go back and tell Weiwei that it’s not working out here. She won’t argue.”

Yuan Jingjing breathed a sigh of relief.

Just then, Qin Tianxuan’s phone rang.

The moment he answered, his expression became frighteningly gentle. ”My darling Niannian, did you miss Daddy?”

”Hm? Daddy’s at work right now.”

Niannian was very excited. ”All my classmates were asking what my daddy does, and I told them my daddy works at a big company and is a super amazing supervisor! Daddy, you have to work hard, okay?”

”Okay, okay, Daddy will definitely work hard to become a supervisor!” Qin Tianxuan chuckled as he put his phone down.

Then his expression immediately turned cold. ”Jingjing, I need to become a supervisor!”

PFFT! Yuan Jingjing sprayed a mouthful of her drink everywhere.

”You—you said you were going to quit, didn’t you?”

Qin Tianxuan’s gaze was solemn. ”My daughter already told her classmates. I can’t leave just yet. At the very least, not until I reach the supervisor level.”

Yuan Jingjing laughed and pointed at herself. ”I struggled in this company for three years to become a supervisor. Unless you reveal your identity, Mr. Qin, or go back to Dongshen Financial Group, it’s impossible!”

Qin Tianxuan planted his hands on the table, his eyes terrifyingly determined. ”Dongshen is my company. What kind of achievement would it be for me to go there? Wouldn’t that be lying to my daughter?!”

Yuan Jingjing was on the verge of a breakdown, practically begging, ”Please, just leave already! I really can’t take this anymore!”

The two were eating in the area reserved for supervisors, and they were being careful to keep their voices down.

But someone who was deliberately listening in still managed to overhear a part of their conversation.

The funniest part was, this person didn’t hear the whole thing, only a few keywords.

”Guys, I’ve figured it out! Our Demoness Jingjing is serious this time. She and that Qin Tianxuan guy have a kid together! A daughter!”

Holy shit!

The entire company nearly exploded.

”I’m telling you, they had a daughter out of wedlock, and they’ve been keeping it a secret!”

”Yuan Jingjing seems so proud, but she’s already had a kid? When did she give birth, though? I’ve never seen her take a leave of absence.”

”I heard their daughter is already in elementary school!”

”My god, how old is Yuan Jingjing this year? If you do the math, doesn’t that mean she had Qin Tianxuan’s baby before she was even eighteen?”

”You really can’t judge a book by its cover!”

Amidst the chatter, a handsome man appeared, furious. ”What is everyone doing? Are you not working anymore? Someone from HR and Administration, get over here and take down the names of everyone who isn’t at their desk!”

Director Li Tianhui had arrived!

The Sales Director, the company’s second-in-command!

Everyone scattered in an instant.

Everyone knew Director Li had been pursuing Yuan Jingjing for over half a year. To suddenly find out he was just the backup option, he must be furious!

Li Tianhui was indeed angry—seething with rage, in fact, grinding his teeth.

He wasn’t angry about Yuan Jingjing’s heartlessness, but about his own pride!

Because Li Tianhui’s identity was far from ordinary.

On the surface, he was just the sales director of a small subsidiary of the Changshan Group. In reality, he was Li Changshan’s biological nephew!

Unlike a distant nephew like Li Xiaohai, Li Tianhui was of the direct bloodline.

He called Li Changshan his uncle. He was an elite of the Li Family’s next generation, a true scion of a wealthy and powerful clan, the richest of the rich kids!

Coming to this small subsidiary to work in sales was just a way for him to gain some experience!

Because of this status, Li Tianhui believed no woman could resist his charm, yet Yuan Jingjing had proven to be the exception!

’Fuck, I was just planning to play around with you, but now you’ve made me lose all face!’

’This is an utter humiliation for me, Young Master Li!’

With a murderous glint in his eyes, Li Tianhui entered the director’s office and pressed a button on his desk phone. ”Have the new hire, Qin Tianxuan, come to my office!”

The pretty secretary understood the situation. Swaying her hips, she found Qin Tianxuan and gently poked the man with a pink-painted fingernail. ”Director Li wants to see you.”

Qin Tianxuan put down his phone and stood up calmly.

The secretary couldn’t help but feel a little sorry for him. She leaned close to his ear and whispered, ”Be careful. It’s about Yuan Jingjing!”

Qin Tianxuan’s expression remained unchanged. He glanced at her name tag, which read Xiaomei.

He nodded his thanks to the secretary and turned to enter Li Tianhui’s office.
