This time, they were especially sweet and relaxed after getting back together. There was no need to guess what was on his mind and to face life and death.
With the nourishment of love, Cen Xi’s complexion looked better than ever. She was young and there was a tinge of pinkness under her fair skin, making her look radiant and dazzling.
After a few days of sweetness, she could not stay idle. She sent her resume to the translation department. Qiao Yanze wanted to help, but he promised not to interfere in her work affairs after her countless warnings.
Of course, he believed that with her talent and ability, it would not be difficult for her to return to the translation department.
The day after she submitted her resume, she received an interview notice.
On the day of the interview, Cen Xi woke up early. She went to have a bath in the bathroom and then went to the cloakroom to change her clothes.
She wore a Dolce & Gabbana lace dress paired with a fashionable coat, the ends of her long hair slightly curled and spread naturally around her shoulders. She had put on makeup and because she had good skin, she looked very fresh with just a light hint of blush on her cheeks.
After applying her lipstick, Cen Xi noticed that something was wrong. Turning around, she found that the man who was still sleeping had woken up.
He was wearing a dark blue robe with the straps loosely tied, showing a large part of his firm chest. He had his arms crossed and was looking at her with a dark glint in his upturned eyes.
The longer she spent time with him, the more she found that there was still a dangerous charm in his bones.
Cen Xi’s scalp turned numb from his stare and she pursed her red lips. “What do you think, wearing this to the interview?”
“I’m afraid the interviewer’s attention would not be on your ability, but on your beauty.”
Cen Xi glared at him. “There are many beauties in the translation department!”
“Why do I find only one?”
“Who?”
Stalking over, his face found her neck and buried into it, smelling the fragrance of her body. “Of course it’s my Beauty Cen.”
…
Cen Xi was interviewed by the supervisor of the translation department who was in charge of HR matters.
Seeing Cen Xi, the supervisor asked directly, “You have a bright future ahead when you became the assistant of the chief translator of the Queen. Why did you quit after only a while?”
Cen Xi pursed her lips. “Some private matters.”
“Do you think you can go back to the translation department if you are such an unstable employee?”
A small yet confident smile appeared on her lips. “If you think that I can’t, you wouldn’t have called me for an interview!”
“You’re really talented, but you’re too arrogant. Would you be willing to start working from the front desk?”
Cen Xi did not hesitate or think about it and nodded. “The front desk is the face of a company. You must think highly of me to let me start from the front desk!”
When he heard her answer, the supervisor was stunned. He thought that with Cen Xi’s arrogance, she would be unwilling to start from the front desk.
“Okay, you can come back to work starting tomorrow!”
…
There were two seats at the front desk of the translation department. One was Cen Xi, who was still in the training period, and the other was Sun Yueyue, who had passed the training period.
Sun Yueyue was about to graduate from university and it was said that she was the school belle. After entering the translation department, she was also the most beautiful one. But ever since Cen Xi came, she felt that her beauty had been threatened.
After becoming colleagues, she had always found Cen Xi an eyesore.
It was not that Cen Xi did not know about office politics. She worked hard, was low-key and tried not to form cliques or factions and gossip about people behind their backs. But even if she chose not to gossip, it did not mean that others didn’t.
On this day, when she went to the pantry to make coffee, she heard Sun Yueyue and a female colleague gossiping about her.
“Sister Liao, Cen Xi really seduced Young Master Qiao before?”
“I heard rumors about it. Anyway, she’s so shameless and is lacking in morals on many levels. I heard that she went to the Queen’s side and even seduced the King.”
What? Cen Xi could not stand it anymore and she walked in with a cold expression. “You even dare to spread rumors about me seducing the King? Then do you have the gall to go and confront the King and Queen?”
Hearing this, the colleague surnamed Liao immediately chickened out and stammered, “I-I’m sorry, I made it up.” Lowering her head, she rushed out of the pantry in a hurry.
Sun Yueyue looked at Cen Xi with disdain and mumbled in a strange tone, “You said it as if you’re acquainted with the King and Queen.” Then, as she went out of the pantry, she deliberately knocked into Cen Xi’s shoulders.
Cen Xi rubbed her shoulder and was lazy to care. Taking her coffee, she went out of the pantry.
When she got back to the front desk, she saw a familiar figure standing there. Cen Xi wanted to go over when she heard Sun Yueyue’s coquettish voice. “Young Master Qiao, I saw the news about you being knighted on the TV yesterday and I didn’t expect to see you in person today. Can you give me an autograph?”
As Cen Xi looked at Sun Yueyue, it was obvious the latter had unbuttoned two buttons of her tight white shirt. Not only was Sun Yueyue good-looking, but she also had a voluptuous figure. In this aspect, Cen Xi did feel inferior.
Cen Xi stood still and looked at Qiao Yanze who was being seduced. He was knighted yesterday and his status was raised. He would face more and more temptations in the future.
If she had to fight back every rival in love, she might be worn out in the future.
Qiao Yanze glanced expressionlessly at Sun Yueyue, who was being flirtatious. “I’m looking for your boss.”
“Oh, one moment. I’ll call my boss’s office now.”
After a moment, Sun Yueyue said to Qiao Yanze in a coy voice, “My boss asked you to go up.”
Qiao Yanze turned to leave and saw Cen Xi who was standing at the corner. When he passed by, he held her hand with his big hand.
After Qiao Yanze went into the elevator, Cen Xi returned to the front desk.
Sun Yueyue was covering her flushed cheeks with her hands and was stamping on the ground, immersed in Qiao Yanze’s handsome face and noble temperament.
“Oh my God, Young Master Qiao seemed to have looked at me just now. Is he interested in me?”
Cen Xi put down her coffee cup and her lips could not help twitch when she heard Sun Yueyue’s narcissistic words.
Unbelievable.
…
Half an hour later, Qiao Yanze came out of the elevator. He did not leave directly and went to the front desk, knocking on the table with his slender fingers. “Get me a cup of water.”
Cen Xi was about to get up when Qiao Yanze looked at Sun Yueyue. “You go.”
Sun Yueyue thought that Qiao Yanze had taken a fancy to her. She got up and left excitedly.
After Sun Yueyue left, Qiao Yanze took Cen Xi’s cup and took a sip of the coffee.
Cen Xi was shocked by his action hissed angrily, “What are you doing!”
“You’re not jealous when your colleague seduced me?”
“You don’t like her so why should I be jealous?”
Qiao Yanze raised Cen Xi’s chin. “My woman is so confident. Come, let me have a kiss.”
“Someone will see.”
“Give me a kiss before I leave, or I won’t leave.”
This fellow!
He was getting more shameless!
After looking around and seeing no one, Cen Xi stood on tiptoes and kissed him on his lips. “Go!”
But the next second, the back of her head was held by the man and he invaded her lips, their positions reversed in an instant.
