From Dusk till Dawn!

Chapter 10: Pufferfish

When Mo Yuhan entered inside, this was the chaotic scene that welcomed him, his gaze coldly skimmed past them and everyone shut their mouths almost instantly.

They deeply bowed before greeting the man respectfully. But the moment Mo Yuhan entered his office, the heated discussions started once again.

"Did you see that?" one of the employees asked the other.

"Do I look blind to you? How could I not see how President Mo was hugging and kissing that woman? "replied another.

"What woman? She is the first woman spotted with President. Maybe she will be the future Young Mistress Mo. So, she is our lady boss with rules. Take her name with respect," replied the head of the HR department.

''Maybe President is just temporarily attracted to her. Once, he gets bored, he will throw her away. That's how rich men are supposed to be."

"What attraction? Didn't you notice how tender President's eyes were when he looked at her? His eyes screamed love. It was just the way my husband looks at me." another woman butted in.

"Do you think that just any ordinary woman can marry President Mo?"

"Just which part of that woman seemed ordinary to you. She was riding the limited-edition Bugatti and even her dress is the latest one which is only one piece in the whole world. And her aura was too strong. Even if I just noticed her side profile, she was like a goddess''

''What? Can't our President give such expensive gifts to his mistresses?" an employee enviously blurted out.

''Yes, what she is saying is true. And what goddess are you talking about? Aren't sluts also beautiful? But that doesn't make them a goddess."

Right at this moment, Liu Jiang entered, coincidentally hearing their conversation. A chill ran down his spine imagining the consequences of such careless gossips. President Mo would wreak havoc on these dumbass people if he learns about their thoughts.

Just by the idea of it, he got frightened. There was a pin drop silence the moment the employees noticed his presence.

"This is the first and last time I am saying this to you. If you dare to discuss the President's matters or gossip about anything in office hours, then you will be immediately fired and it will be made sure that you will never get any job again," He coldly declared.

No one uttered a single word as they continued doing their work.

He scoffed. If even he wasn't allowed to badmouth that woman. Who do these people think they are?

Liu Jiang knocked on the door as he entered inside Mo Yuhan's office, immediately turning his professional mode on, "President, the meeting about the DX project with Ash Corporations will be starting after 3 hours. Vice-president Luo will be attending the meeting on our behalf."

"Anything else?" replied Mo Yuhan.

"President, if Ash Corporations decides to collaborate with us, then after 4 days there will be a meeting for the presentations and negotiations. You have to be there personally since CEO Tang would be there. But if you don't feel like it, should I represent you on your behalf?"

Mo Yuhan raised his head slightly as he looked at him, "If it was anyone else, it would have been fine if you represent me but this is President Tang. It will be an insult to her if I don't go."

It was rare to see this man having such high regard for anyone so he couldn't help but ask "President, why are you so biased towards President Tang? People say she is hideous, ugly, old and many such rumors are circulating about her. She never steps out to clarify anything. So why do you admire her so much? MO Empires is also in the same league as Ash Corporation."

Mo Yuhan glared at the man but didn't bother to reply. According to him, admiration has nothing to do with one's age or looks, and rumors are always rumoring. He admired President Tang because she is admirable.

Yes, Mo Empires is in the same league as Ash Corporation but Mo Empire has a foundation of centuries as it was established by his ancestors. It took over a period of generations to make Mo Empire this successful.

But when you look at Ash Corporations, it didn't exist at all. Within 9 years, it has reached the same league as Mo Empires. How can you not admire such a genius who created it?

Many people might not know but it is said that the company was named 'Ash' because it rose from ashes and today it has become the phoenix and he was well aware of it. Working with such a prodigy, how could it not be his pleasure?

Liu Jiang realized he has asked some stupid questions, so he changed the topic ''President, but I don't understand why Zihan prefers to work there and not in Mo Empires? And why does he never say anything about President Tang?"

Mo Yuhan sighed as he looked at the man. No wonder his father wanted to train him. If not for his Grandpa, he wouldn't have accepted this man as his temporary secretary "He works there because he doesn't want to be recognized by everyone just because he is a Mo. But he will have to return to take over his post of CEO of Su Corps soon. All employees had signed a confidentiality agreement. So, all he says is President Tang is his goddess.''

Liu Jiang laughed ''I wonder if President Tang is indeed young and beautiful as a goddess then she would have been an ideal partner for you."

He felt a chill down his spine as soon as he said it. The temperature in the surroundings seemed to have dropped instantly.

There was no warmness in Mo Yuhan's voice as he said ''Know where you should stop."

Wife? He only had one wife and it would always be her.

Liu Jiang immediately lowered his head "I apologize President. I didn't mean it..."

"Get out," the man's tone was harsh.

He immediately understood that he has crossed his President's bottom line by saying that. But what could he do, it was purely unintentional as he still couldn't get used to the fact that the first Most Eligible Bachelor is married all of a sudden!

Mo Yuhan sat with gloomy clouds hovering above his head.

Being dropped at work by his wife had brightened his mood earlier so he was behaving warmly towards everyone. But the spring was long replaced by chilling winter.

...

Tang Li was sitting on her chair as she watched a certain bubbly-chubby pufferfish pacing around as he said ''Oh my god...Goddess, you look so stunning today. But the biggest breaking news is that today we have a meeting with the V.P of Mo Empires for the collaboration of DX Project."

"I know. But what I don't know is, puffy, when will you grow up?"

Mo Zihan looked at her with round glittery eyes, "I am like this only with you because you always dote on me. My brother looks so grim all day long whereas my twin sister makes fun of me...''He paused as he looked at Tang Li; an idea popped up in his mind, "Goddess, why don't you marry my big bro? He is the best man for you and you also can control him."

"But my husband happens to be the best man," she proudly declared.

"Ohhh, Alright... Wait, what?!" As the realization dawned on him, he was so shocked his eyeballs almost popped out of its sockets as he exaggeratedly shouted ''You are married? You didn't even invite me? Why? When? How can you do this...."

Tang Li cut him off as she spoke, "We got married yesterday. It was a flash marriage and we aren't holding a proper wedding right now. So, hold on to your horses."

Mo Zihan melodramatically held his chest "My heart breaks to know that my goddess is married now but I am still happy for you...'' he paused as his eyes turned unusually cold, ''As long as that man doesn't turn out to be a jerk or a bastard, I will not say anything. But if he ever hurts you, then I'll show him the way to hell," He muttered as his expressions became fierce.

Tang Li was taken aback for a bit when she caught the viciousness in mariner-blue eyes. For a second, she felt as if she caught a glance of her Mo Yuhan in him. Those rare eyes were identical to her husband's. Are they related? Won't it be too much of a coincidence then? She shrugged off her thoughts considering them to be absurd.

"It will not happen. Now, stop gossiping and get back to work," she chuckled.

"Aye aye captain!''

Tang Li stared at his disappearing back as she thought back to the time when she met him 5 years ago. He might be naughty and childish at times but he is still the most efficient Vice President that she could ever have.

He sometimes feels like a gossipy elder sister. LOL! If anyone knew that one of the most eligible bachelors was compared to an elder sister, god knows what their reactions will be!

Tang Li is undoubtedly the cold and demonic CEO but to the people who are close to her, she can be the warmest person.
