Evil Husband, Glutton Wife: Buy Miss Piggy, Get Free Little Buns

86 Moyu Doesn’t Hate You 2

Thankfully, her assistant, Cheng Ning was very efficient with her work. Cheng Ning had sorted her schedules and paperwork according to their importance. She also declined all the invitations for parties and banquets for the whole month because Xiao Bao forbade his mother from attending one.

However, at the end of the day, Tang Moyu's thoughts always end up in the memory of hearing Qin Jiran's words to Xu Wenyang before he and Qian left for their second honeymoon.

"When I'm around, who would dare to harm her?"

Tang Moyu placed down her pen and rested her forehead on one hand while Cheng Ning picked up the documents she had just finished reviewing, noticing how unusually quiet her boss was these days.

When Tang Moyu heard the click on the door, indicating that she was alone again, she took a deep breath and leaned her back on her seat.

Why would Qin Jiran say those words? And why did Xu Wenyang warn her to be careful in the future? Was there something she didn't know about, but both men did?

She wanted to ask Qin Jiran, but she also didn't want to confront him about it. Was she afraid of him? No, that couldn't possibly be. A part of her just didn't want to cause trouble for him while another part of her was curious as to how he would be able to protect her. But then again, why would he?

Tang Moyu had been so used to being by herself that if she needed help, she always made sure to settle her debt as soon as she could. She also didn't want to place her trust in a man who could possibly betray her in the future.

She fiddled with the ring on her hand. The sole reminder of how she ended up where she was today. Betrayed by her fiance, ripping her off of all her hard work in the past. It wasn't like her life depended on Feng Tianhua, but the mere fact that she was betrayed hurt her.

She didn't want history to repeat itself by trusting Qin Jiran. Although if she was honest with herself, the man was totally different from Feng Tianhua in terms of personality. While Feng Tianhua tends to be brash and uncouth at times, Qin Jiran was mild-tempered and refined.

Why was she comparing the two anyway? Tang Moyu groaned to herself. Obviously, they weren't the same person. She just didn't know if she should trust the man who was currently living with her and her kids.

Perhaps, she was overthinking things and Qin Jiran probably just wanted to help her without any other reasons. If she could accept Jiang Yunan, that narcissistic guy as a friend, why couldn't she do so with Qin Jiran?

Tang Moyu shut her computer down, took her keys from her drawer, grabbed her handbag and left her office. She gave Cheng Ning a few instructions before going to the CFO's room to see Gu Yuyao.

However, as soon as she arrived in the hallway leading to Gu Yuyao's office, she was appalled to see a secretary at the reception desk, filing her nails while still at work. Did the woman know where she was?

"I'm here to see Miss Gu. Is she in?" Tang Moyu said in her coldest tone, but the woman refused to even spare her a look and continued to file her long nails.

"Just go in and see her. No need to disturb me." She sounded annoyed from being disturbed by Tang Moyu.

The empress's eyes turned into slits. She had enough of it. This secretary used to work with Mr. Han who was the previous CFO before Gu Yuyao.

"No wonder the company suffered losses. Apparently it's because we have lazy ass employees like you."

At those words, the woman jolted up from her seat and looked at Tang Moyu's face with wide eyes.

"C-C-CEO Tang!"

"If you don't like your job, please resign or I will make you jobless because of your work ethics. I don't tolerate this kind of absurdity during working hours." Tang Moyu said coldly, making her way towards Gu Yuyao's office. "I expect to see your resignation ASAP."

When she entered the room, she wasn't surprised to see Gu Yuyao burying her head under the reports she was reading.

"Not ready to go home yet?" Tang Moyu asked.

Gu Yuyao waved a hand at her without looking back.

"You can go first. Your twins are waiting. I need to see more of this before I can call it a day." Gu Yuyao said.

"Alright. I'll be going then."

When Tang Moyu left the office, she wasn't surprised to see the secretary with a pale expression on her face. She was standing and with her head low as Tang Moyu walked away.

The empress shook her head and wondered if she should run a performance check on all employees who are still working with them. It would save her a lot of trouble if she could weed out the bad and rotten apples away from the good ones.

As usual, when she came home, there was no other person at the main house except for Auntie Lu and the maids, who were busy making their dinner. She then headed to the guest house and was greeted by Qin Jiran, who had just finished cooking their dinner. There was no confused expression on his face this time.

"Moyu, you're just in time for dinner." He grinned.
