The Return Of The Devil's Wife 27 Delusional Yu Yan

Zi Jue has been irritable these past few days. Things have just been looking up between him and Yan Qing Shan and yet they had to be separated.

Alright, maybe he's a bit exaggerated. She was just going to school. Z University was just half an hour ride away from where he is. He could visit her anytime he wants to. But then again, it was still different without her in the house.

The previous days before she moved to the dormitory, Yan Qing Shan has always greeted him at the door when he arrived from work. And G.o.d fobid, he misses that. He misses her greeting him. He misses her small smiles and blus.h.i.+ng face when he greets her back with a forehead kiss. He misses her pleasant voice berating him for not eating vegetables during dinner. He just misses her.

If it was previously, when she still indifferent to him then he could take the temporary seperation. That's not the case this time though. It was like Zi Jue was given his favorite food in the whole, wide world but was refrained from even seeing it.

Aside from that, Zi Jue was pretty sure Yan Qing Shan would just scold him for skipping work. Such scenario was highly probably considering her personality.

Work can only do so much to distract him. Instead, it's even adding to his irritation. Worse thing was, the heartless hermit did not care for his sanity enough to send even just a text. Zi Jue would never admit, even to his death, that everytime his phone rang he would hope for it to be her.

Zi Jue sighed and slumped in his seat. He was acting so mushy, he couldn't even recognize himself. He glowered at the doc.u.ments in front of him as if he was facing his archenemy. If he finished these troublesome things earlier, then he could go and see his baby girl.

With that thought, his vigor was renewed. Zi Jue immered himself in the proposals again that he didn't even bother looking up when the door to his office opened with a click.

It was only when the overpowering fragrance of artificial perfume a.s.sailed his pitiful nose that he glanced at the person who came in. His eyebrows furrowed. What is this woman doing here at this time?

"Chairman Zi, do you have a moment?"

The girl's saccharine voice rang in Zi Jue's ear. He never realized how irritating Yu Yan was. If not for his baby girl pointing it out, he'd be oblivious until now. Zi Jue s.h.i.+vered ominously when he felt the slick stare she was giving him. He wanted to fire her but he remembered Yan Qing Shan's words. Besides, despite her covert overtures, she had not stepped out of bounds. Zi Jue did not have a concrete reason to get rid of her. But as a measure he had cut down her duties which involved him. However, it seemed like she couldn't handle it anymore and now went for a direct confrontation.

"No, I don't."

He replied curtly and went back to reading the papers. As if Zi Jue would give her the chance to prolong their interaction.

Yu Yan stiffened at the direct rejection of Zi Jue. She noticed how he seemed to be avoiding her lately. Even her work was lessened. She was alarmed. This could not happen. She had expended a lot of effort to get close to Zi Jue.

He was her ideal man. He had power, wealth, and status. Not to mention his overly good looks besting all of the eligible bachelors in the country. Yu Yan knew she would live like the queen that she is with him around.

At first she had only pursued him through subtle cues. But despite the gentle smile Zi Jue always seem to have, he was in reality really cold. He was especially ruthless to those women who openly pursue him. That is why Yu Yan chose to lie low. He treated women the same anyway, so she was not that worried.

Until that time. Yu Yan clenched her fists when she remembered it. She was so glad that Zi Jue finally allowed her to go with him to Ying Yue Garden. But she was enraged when she saw a woman there. Zi Jue even kissed and acted gentle towards her. That s.l.u.t took her position. That was supposed to be her. Someone as ugly as that Yan Qing Shan didn't deserve Zi Jue. The worse thing was after that time, Zi Jue ignored her completely.

Yu Yan knew she couldn't hold back anymore that was why she braved everything and directly went to confront him. Only, Zi Jue wasn't going with the script.

She steeled herself and approached him nearer. Yu Yan knew this was her only chance. She directly went to Zi Jue's side with her head downcast.

"Chairman Zi, have I done something wrong? I... My work was suddenly handled by Mr. Liu Ying. Are you perhaps unsatisfied?"

Yu Yan made sure her voice sounded pitiful. With her voice like this, she was sure Zi Jue's protective insticts will kick in. Men always fall for this delicateness.

Yu Yan fluttered her eyes evoking a gentle charm as she peeked at him. She didn't wait for Zi Jue to speak when she moved to her next step.

Yu Yan went closer to him and then pretended to suddenly trip. She fell directly to his lap, her arms wounding around his neck. Yu Yan was elated. She reveled in the feeling of Zi Jue's hard chest muscles and intoxicating scent.

"What are you doing?"

Zi Jue's cutting voice snapped her out of reverie. The aura around him turned deadly making her whimper in fear.

'Oh no! I overdid it.'

Yu Yan panicked when she felt his hands gripped her arms, which was laying on the crook of his neck, so tightly it hurts. She was about to shout out when Yu Yan felt Zi Jue stiffen.

"What is going on here?"

Yu Yan forgot the pain she was feeling when she heard that frosty voice. She turned her head down to hide the sinister smile which formed in her lips. The timing of this s.l.u.t was great. With this, she could drive Yan Qing Shan away. Her plan was somehow still a success.
