When Wan Tong thought about going to find Li Ruotong again, she found out that Li Ruotong had already been sent abroad by the company.

In fact, Wan Tong didn’t think she could learn anything from Li Ruotong, she just wanted to confirm Yu Cheng’s attitude.

As he had said, he wanted to maintain the status quo and didn’t want her to think about the past, even trying his best to separate her from the Bai family.

Wan Tong remembered that the original owner had been admitted to A University, and she had gone to the school to see it. She saw that there were too many newly built teaching buildings, and after the renovation and expansion, the school she saw was too different from the one in the original owner’s memory, making her feel unfamiliar.

So she gave up the idea of continuing to attend university at an “older age”.

With nothing to do at home, Wan Tong went to work in Yu Cheng’s company, in the planning department.

The original owner had worked with Father Bai in the company during high school. She was in the planning department at that time, so Wan Tong chose the department based on the original owner’s interests.

On the first day of work, Wan Tong got up early, dressed herself up, but she was stunned when she was about to leave the room.

She remembered that she had tied her hair on the doorknob again last night, but the strand of hair was now torn off.

She reached out and touched the half strand of hair still wrapped around the doorknob, so someone had come in last night?

Apart from Yu Cheng, she couldn’t think of anyone else who would dare to come in.

After hesitating for a moment, Wan Tong entered the bathroom and unbuttoned her tightly-buttoned shirt collar. She looked left and right, but there was no strange marks on her body.

In an instant, she blushed again, feeling like she was overthinking things.

Yu Cheng was gentle and cute, it was impossible for him to do anything strange.

“Tongtong?” Yu Cheng’s voice came from outside the door.

“I’m in here.” Wan Tong quickly responded.

The bathroom door was not closed, and when Yu Cheng turned around, he saw Wan Tong bending down to button her shirt.

She had tied her hair up, with a few soft strands playfully poking out, making her look even cuter in his eyes.

Feeling nervous under his gaze, Wan Tong couldn’t button the last button for a long time.

“I’ll help you.” Yu Cheng came over and spoke softly.

Wan Tong looked at the remaining two buttons and nodded. Her shirt was the most conservative style that covered everything, so she didn’t think there was anything to worry about.

But in Yu Cheng’s eyes, the curves outlined by her shirt were damn enticing. When he helped her fasten the buttons, her tantalizing collarbone and snowy white skin became the focus of his gaze, challenging his self-restraint every moment.

Should he help her cover up the alluring scenery and fasten the buttons, or should he savagely tear off the fragile fabric…

His palm trembled slightly as it moved to the top button. His finger touched her chin.

With her head slightly tilted upwards, long eyelashes lowered and a teardrop mole at the corner of her eye adding to her charm, her pink lips painted in dark red became even more seductive.

Her posture seemed like an invitation.

Yu Cheng’s movements were extremely slow. After fastening the last button, he finally could not restrain the surging desire in his heart.

“Tongtong, I want to kiss you,” he said, his gaze burning, and his Adam’s apple moving gently.

Wan Tong: ???

While she was still in a daze, Yu Cheng gently covered the back of her neck with his hand and bent down to kiss her.

With no experience to speak of, it seemed that he just moved instinctively.

When their lips separated, Wan Tong’s consciousness returned, and then she raised her hand in reflex.

Yù Chéng didn’t avoid it at all, his black eyes were dim, staring at her intently, his thin lips stained with a deep red lipstick, giving off a seductive feeling.

Wan Tong didn’t hit him. Her palm stopped just beside his cheek and then silently dropped back down.

Her emotions went from anger and alert to confusion, and Yu Cheng reached out his hands to hug her tightly, “Tongtong, I’m sorry.”

His voice was low and cautious, as if he was afraid of making her angry.

He was being so humble that it made Wan Tong’s heart twist. After she calmed down, she frowned and asked, “Yu Cheng, have you ever kissed me like this before?”

She called him by his name directly, and Yu Cheng heard it. He pressed her even harder against his chest and said, “Hmm, don’t be angry. I won’t do it again.”

Wan Tong felt his suppressed and tense emotions, and she didn’t know what to say for a moment. She knew how much Yu Cheng liked her, but if something coercive had really happened ten years ago, she would be left with psychological trauma from him.

Even if she didn’t have the memories now, her body was somewhat repulsive of being intimate with him.

For example, just now, she almost gave him a slap.

“Okay, Chengcheng, you can let go of me now,” Wan Tong said.

Only then did Yu Cheng slowly released her, but his gaze didn’t meet hers. It seemed like he was avoiding her eyes, and then he quickly left.

Wan Tong straightened herself up and followed him to his room.

Sure enough, he locked himself in the bathroom again, and only the sound of running water could be heard.

Wan Tong stared at the door in distress. His behaviors made her think that ten years ago, it was her who forced him…

When Yu Cheng came down the stairs, he had already returned to his usual gentle and steady mode.

After having breakfast with Wan Tong, they went to the company together.

Towards Wan Tong, the “airborne soldier”1An “airborne soldier” refers to someone who is brought in from outside the company, rather than being promoted from within. In Chinese novels, usually it’s a sarcastic remark referring to someone who got in through connection rather than skills. who had just arrived, everyone at the company maintained a friendly attitude as if they had made an unspoken agreement.

They had already spread her photo on the internal chat group before, the girl who was personally carried back to the office by President Yu, the girl whom Assistant Qian called “President Yu’s little sweetheart”, the girl who came to wait for him in his exclusive car every other day…

This girl was even more likely to become their future Madam Boss than Bai Wanxin, so when she came to “experience life” in the planning department, they naturally had to establish a good relationship with her.

The news of Wan Tong working in the Yu Group also reached Bai Wanxin’s ears.

Bai Wanxin felt like nothing was going smoothly recently, so out of some concern, she even dug out the dormant system.

The Raiders’ guidelines stated that task completion and rewards would increase exponentially if one did not rely on the system’s help. She had already been on the verge of winning and had not planned on relying on the system, but now her confidence was shaken.

With the arrival of Wan Tong, she felt like all her plans had been disrupted.

Bai Ziyan did not trust her and had begun to sing a different tune against her. The subsidiary company he was supposed to transfer to her was taken back, and he had even brought in his own team. Furthermore, her brainless mother thought she had offended Yu Cheng and berated her every day.

She felt like the task’s progress had come to a halt, which made her realize she needed the system’s help.

She used the highest redemption power in the mall and obtained Wan Tong’s personal information.

After reading it, she was in a terrible mood.

That woman was really Bai Wantong!!

But what about the paternity test she received?

Bai Wanxin wasn’t foolish and quickly figured it out. It must have been Kong Jing who was discovered when taking Bai Wantong’s hair.

No wonder her favorability value has decreased, it seems that Yu Cheng already suspects her.

Maybe he has already investigated her…

“Heh…” Bai Wanxin gritted her teeth and sneered mockingly.

She had been doing things flawlessly for years, and it wouldn’t be so easy to investigate her.

The paternity test report must have been switched by Yu Cheng, and maybe even Father Bai was involved.

They wanted to cut off the connection between Bai Wantong and the Bai family without attracting attention, and then let her live a happy life with Yu Cheng under a new identity.

They were really thinking too beautifully.

Yu Cheng became popular because of his high-definition photos, and his private life was no longer as peaceful as before, as he would always be recognized by people.

A few days ago, he and Wan Tong were photographed at a seafood restaurant, and the photo was uploaded to Weibo on the same day.

Wan Tong’s beautiful face was captured clearly in the photo, with a palm-sized oval face, porcelain-white skin, delicate features, and the mole beneath her eye was especially enchanting.

Although Qian Le had already contacted the blogger to delete the photo, some people had saved the image and kept reposting it, even making it a hot topic on social media.

The number of people discussing it kept rising, and the heat was getting higher and higher.

Didn’t they say that Yu Cheng never eats with anyone else?

But in the photo, he was actually peeling shrimp and crab for someone else! Is this reasonable?

Who is this holy girl that even made Yu Cheng’s cleanliness better?

At this point, someone brought up Bai Wanxin to compare with her.

Previously, Yu Cheng had already explained that the person he was holding on the cruise ship was not Bai Wanxin. Some people had even delved into it and thought he was lying. The woman who appeared next to him had a figure that matched Bai Wanxin’s.

But now, everyone suddenly realized that the person he was holding was not Bai Wanxin, but this girl with the teardrop mole!

Wan Tong didn’t think it had any impact, so she told Qian Le not to waste time on it.

Qian Le agreed on the surface, but then instructed someone to suppress the hot topic and went to Yu Cheng’s office.

“President Yu, it has been confirmed. The blogger admitted receiving the photos from someone else and published them for money.”

“Who is it?” Yu Cheng asked while staring at the photo of the girl on the screen, seemingly indifferent.

“We checked the account he provided, and it had also been transferred. The login IP address was also erased, so he must be an experienced person who thought carefully.”

“Go check the restaurant.”

Qian Le nodded and was about to leave the office, but he hurriedly came back.

“President Yu, several media outlets have received an anonymous tip. I’ll forward it to you.”

Yu Cheng furrowed his brow and said, “Hmm.”

Qian Le kept a close eye on Yu Cheng’s expression after forwarding the tip.

Who knew how shocked and complicated Qian Le was feeling when he first saw it?

Fortunately, after the incident last time, most media outlets dared not report on the Yu’s news indiscriminately, which was why they immediately contacted Qian Le after receiving the tip this time.

“Bang!”

Before entering Yu Cheng’s office, Wan Tong heard the sound of a heavy object falling from inside.

She was startled and quickly pushed open the door.

The atmosphere in the office was strange. Yu Cheng had a dark face, standing behind his desk with both hands supporting it, his head slightly lowered, as if suppressing his volatile emotions.

On the ground was a stack of documents, and Qian Le stood on one side, looking solemn.

“Chengcheng, what happened?” Wan Tong’s voice was hesitant, breaking the eerie atmosphere in the office.

Yu Cheng suddenly looked up, his black eyes devoid of any brightness. After briefly glancing at her face, his gaze slowly softened, and the shade on his handsome face also disappeared.

“Tongtong, why did you come up here?”
