Fierce Ex-wife: President, Please Be Careful

Chapter 485: So Melodramatic (1)

By the time Su He came back to her senses, Xia Zhetao had already finished half of the food.
His cheeks were stuffed with food.
He roughly chewed it a few times and tried to swallow, and then… he choked.

Su He was speechless.

“Mmm…” Xia Zhetao’s face was red.
Seeing that he was holding his neck and struggling, Su He regained her rationality.

Su He hurriedly handed him a glass of water and Xia Zhetao hastily took it.
He raised his head and chugged it, finally managing to swallow the food in his mouth.

“I am saved.” Xia Zhetao heaved a sigh of relief emotionally as if he just had a close brush with death.

Su He was speechless.

After a long time, it was as if Su He had just found her voice, as she said with a dry laugh, “Are you really that hungry, Secretary Xia? You don’t have to eat so fast.
Slow down.
If you want more, I still have some here.”

Seeing Xia Zhetao devouring the food like a hungry wolf, Su He had lost her appetite when she looked at those dishes.

Xia Zhetao finally realized that he had overreacted.
He let out a few awkward giggles and explained, “Oh… I got up late this morning and did not have my breakfast.
And I have been running to several places with President Mu since morning…”

Su He lightly smiled and agreed, “Cousin Tingfeng always ignores other things when he works.
It is common for him to forget time.
You must have worked really hard, Secretary Xia.”

As soon as Xia Zhetao heard Su He saying that, he felt like he had found an ally.
He turned around and looked at Su He with tears in his eyes.
He kept nodding and said, “That’s right, that’s right.
When President Mu starts working, he will turn into a workaholic!”

Su He felt a goosebump under Xia Zhetao’s passionate stare like she had made a connection with him.
She responded perfunctorily, “Right, right.
Keep eating, Secretary Xia.
The food won’t be so delicious if it gets cold.”

Xia Zhetao was still immersed in the joy of finding an ally, so he did not suspect a thing.
He held up the lunch box and continued to eat his lunch.
While he was eating, he continued to complain to Su He about how he was usually being oppressed by Mu Tingfeng at work.
He had fully demonstrated his nature as a chatterbox.

Su He listened to Xia Zhetao tittle-tattling silently on the side, but she did not feel bored.

Suddenly, Xia Zhetao seemed to remember something.
He abruptly turned his head to look at Su He and asked in a low voice, “Ms.
Su, you asked me to keep an eye on President Ye last time, how did it go after that? Did you see him?”

Su He was caught off guard for a bit as she did not expect that Xia Zhetao would ask her about him out of the blue.
She pursed her lips and answered in a low voice, “I saw him.”

Xia Zhetao heard the disappointment in Su He’s words.
He knitted his brows, and asked again in a curious manner, “Ms.
Su, do you have any relationships with… President Ye?”

After Xia Zhetao finished asking that, he realized instantly that he was being rude, especially seeing that Su He’s expression changed immediately after hearing his question, Xia Zhetao felt horrible.

He seemed to have asked a question that he should not ask.
Ms.
Su seemed a little upset.
He was going to be thrown into a river now!

Oh, no! Xia Zhetao screamed internally.
He looked at the sad expression on Su He’s face, he just wished he could slap himself a few times.
Your stupid mouth! Your stupid mouth! Now this is great.
You are going to get yourself killed soon!

Su He had no idea that what kind of mental torture her momentary silence had brought to Xia Zhetao.
Her right hand subconsciously touched her already slightly bulging belly and said in a self-deprecating manner, “We have no relationship at all, it was just wishful thinking on my part.”

“What?” Hearing Su He’s answer, Xia Zhetao was stunned.
The elevator outside the office door suddenly rang when he was about to say something.

They stiffened in an instant and looked in the direction of the elevator door with frightened faces.
They were stupefied after seeing the person who walked out of the elevator.

The figure that came out of the elevator and started moving toward them was not Li, who they thought had just returned from outside, it was… Ye Yan.

After Ye Yan struggled for several days, he still could not restrain his inner turmoil.
He came directly to Zhao Enterprise to see Su He, though he did not expect that the first thing he saw was actually Su He sitting side by side with another man.
They were eating, behaving intimately, talking and laughing…

If Xia Zhetao knew what was in Ye Yan’s mind at the moment, he would have shouted at him in an incredibly contemptuous manner for having too much imagination.
‘Are you blind?’ It was true that they were sitting and eating together, but there was at least half a meter of space between them, okay? How were they behaving intimately? As for talking and laughing, that was even impossible.
The subject they were talking about just now was really serious.
It was good enough that they were not in a depressed state.
They were talking and laughing? Did you have your head being kicked by a donkey?

Unfortunately, Xia Zhetao could not read minds.
When Ye Yan swept over a glare at him, he instinctively felt a vibe of danger coming directly at him, causing him to reflexively shiver.

Ye Yan’s gaze lingered on Xia Zhetao’s face for a few seconds before turning downward without a trace and settling directly on the lunch boxes in the hands of the two.

Similar cartoon patterns were printed above the pink and blue lunch boxes.
It was obvious that the two lunch boxes belonged to the same owner.

In other words, the lunch this man was eating now was very likely to be brought over by Su He, who intended to eat with him, or it could also be brought over by this man, who intended to eat with Su He.

Generally speaking, it was impossible for a girl to bring two lunch boxes with such a large capacity at one time, so Ye Yan, who did not think about that possible reason, could only think of these two possibilities.

And regardless of which possibility, it could only mean that Su He and this man were close!

After coming to such a conclusion, a very uncomfortable feeling suddenly emerged in Ye Yan’s heart.
This feeling was much stronger than before, when he saw Zhao Youlin and Mu Tingfeng being together.
Hence, the way he looked at Xia Zhetao grew more unfriendly.

If he remembered correctly, this guy seemed to be the secretary that had been following Mu Tingfeng around, right?

Now that Mu Tingfeng and Zhao Youlin were engaged and ready to remarry, Mu Tingfeng’s secretary had also taken advantage of visiting Zhao Enterprise regularly with his boss and started to poach Zhao Youlin’s worker?

This guy, he really made him feel extremely… mad!

Ye Yan was so overwhelmed by anger that he did not even realize that Su He’s body had stiffened up from the first moment she saw him.

Especially as Ye Yan walked closer, Su He’s entire body, along with the expression on her face were tense to the extreme.
Her right hand even subconsciously covered her stomach tightly.
She was afraid that Ye Yan could see that she was pregnant.

This was Su He’s first meeting with Ye Yan after she learned that she was pregnant.
Before Ye Yan came over to talk about the cooperation contract, she took leave in advance to avoid him.

But this time, Ye Yan simply did not inform his arrival in advance before heading over to Zhao Enterprise.
He just showed up so suddenly without warning and appeared in front of her, she had no way to hide from him!
