As soon as those words came out, it was as if the Security Department had suddenly switched off its sound, leaving everyone utterly dumbfounded, staring at Chen Ziran.
A moment later, Chen Ziran realized she had misspoken.
In her excitement, she had accidentally revealed her engagement to Ye Guichen, and her agitated state clearly suggested her displeasure at her man seeking out another woman.
She felt like a jealous wife at this moment.
Under the gazes of the Security Department staff, Chen Ziran’s cheeks flushed crimson, wishing she could find a hole to crawl into.
But since she had already spoken, Chen Ziran had no choice but to brazen it out, "Ye Guichen, come out."
Ye Guichen was currently lounging on the sofa, with people massaging his legs and shoulders, thoroughly enjoying himself.
"Oh, hey, honey, come here, come sit." Ye Guichen grinned, standing up quickly from the sofa, "I didn’t expect you to care about me so much? You even knew I went to the hotel last night, hehe, you’re making me feel so restricted."
Ye Guichen’s words left the Security Department staff in shock.
This guy, Ye Guichen, was too bold.
So, it turns out Chen Ziran really is his fiancée.
And to think, he has such a stunning fiancée and still goes looking for other women. Probably only Ye Guichen could pull that off.
The most critical thing was, Chen Ziran didn’t even get furious. Instead, she just seemed very agitated.
"Ahem, well, Mr. Chen, Brother Ye, no worries. We’ll be leaving now." Zhao Erdan was the first to recover, signaling the other security guards. A group of them quickly exited the room.
"Wow, who would have thought Brother Ye is so bold!"
"Yeah, we always thought he was just some earthy guy. Turns out he’s better at hiding his true colors."
"Man, if we had met Brother Ye earlier, we wouldn’t have had to endure working under Big Head and Chen Longxiang for so long."
As soon as they got out the door, the security guards started gossiping excitedly.
Only Ye Guichen and Chen Ziran remained.
Chen Ziran was so angry her chest was heaving violently: "Ye Guichen, you don’t think you owe me an explanation?"
Ye Guichen chuckled, "Honey, if I said someone was trying to frame me, would you believe it?"
"I believe you." Chen Ziran pouted, "But, last night, did you sleep with that woman or not?"
Ye Guichen looked dumbfounded.
She actually believes me?
"Ahem, actually, it was Long Zixiang..." Not intending to hide anything, Ye Guichen explained the situation.
After hearing everything, Chen Ziran’s expression gradually softened, and she felt much better. She asked softly, "So, you’re okay?"
"What could happen to me?" Ye Guichen patted his chest, "Hehe, with my wife caring for me, even the biggest problem is no problem."
"Pah, don’t flatter yourself." She glared at Ye Guichen, and suddenly seemed to remember something. A hint of jealousy appeared on Chen Ziran’s face, "Who was that girl you met before work?"
"Huh?" Ye Guichen scratched his head, "Honey, you didn’t really have someone tailing me, did you?"
"Hmph, you wish." Chen Ziran snorted, "It’s still less than a week. Our bet is still ongoing, and we’re still engaged until then. You better behave. Also, I have to remind you, Chen Longxiang is back from his business trip. He’s the most trusted by our grandmother in the Chen Family. Since you made his right-hand man Big Head resign, he won’t let it slide easily."
"Well, let him come at me." Ye Guichen said nonchalantly, "After all, we agreed that as long as I can take control of the entire Security Department, you’ll marry me and meet my family. Hehe, even if it’s a dragon’s lair or a tiger’s den, or a mountain of daggers and a sea of flames, I won’t care."
"You’re so conceited!" Chen Ziran rolled her eyes at Ye Guichen.
If it were a few days ago, hearing these words from Ye Guichen would have made Chen Ziran scoff.
But after experiencing a few events, Chen Ziran found that Ye Guichen had actually been able to accomplish nearly everything he promised.
Unconsciously, she developed some inexplicable trust in Ye Guichen, feeling that whatever he said might actually come true.
When Chen Ziran returned to her office, she was even humming a little tune.
"Mr. Chen, you wouldn’t actually be falling for Ye Guichen, would you?" Seeing Chen Ziran in such a good mood, Annie’s gossip sense was tingling, and she leaned in to ask.
