Sweet Chief Secretary

Though tracing all along, he found the group of people had gone out of his sight very soon, which indicated they were quite skilled at doing this. Shen Yan folded his lips and kept silent.

They had disappeared. But wasn’t Cai Yanyan still there? Without leaving a word, Shen Yan headed for Cai Yanyan’s home.

“Do you want to know where I’m now?”

Shen Yan said in a usual tone but Cai Yanyan started to feel cold in her spine. Before she replied, he added, “I’m now at your home. A young man called Yang Lei opens the door for me and tells me this flat belongs to his sister Yang Xiaoman. What on earth do you want to hide from me?”

Hearing his words, Cai Yanyan’s heart leaped to her throat. Her mind was spinning fast so she tried to calm her voice down and said, “I have nothing to hide from you. It was Zeng Mina who found this flat for me. Considering it’s cheap, I finally decided to move in.”

A burst of chuckle rang through the phone with sneer and anger. Shen Yan’s voice became cold suddenly, “I haven’t finished my words yet. I found the property management office to confirm whether what Yang Ling’s brother said was convincing. At last, I learned the owner of that flat is Yang Xiaoman. Besides, I inquired of the security guards of the community and was told you didn’t live here. You are only an occasional visitor.”

Plenty of sweat started on her forehead and her hand which was holding the phone began to tremble.

“Cai Yanyan, are you going to continue your lie?”

“Young Master Yan, I don’t need to tell you why I did so.”

How could Cai Yanyan tell him that she lived here because she dated someone? As for who the person was, Cai Yanyan would never say it out of course, which should not be brought to the public.

Thus, that was why she was threatened by Xiao Man. Upon thinking of it, Cai Yanyan began to feel angry.

“Really? Cai Yanyan, don’t think you’re safe because I didn’t ask to see you these days. Do you know who you’re talking to?” Shen Yan’s voice was cold as if it could freeze someone to death.

Hearing his words, Cai Yanyan felt so scared that she almost dropped her phone to the ground. She hastened to make an explanation, “Young Master Yan, sorr… sorry. That’s not what I mean. I just feel that I don’t have to tell my personal affairs to you.”

“Really? You coaxed Xia Yu to that villa. Is this also your personal affair?”

“Young Master Yan, I’m wrong. Indeed wrong.”

After hanging up, Cai Yanyan felt agitated in her heart. She paced up and down in the sitting room, fearing Shen Yan might find her current address. She could tell from his words just now that he was going to call her to account.

No. Can’t live here any longer. Move away. Must move away at once.

“Sister Zhang, sister Zhang.” Cai Yanyan called Sister Zhang who was hanging the clothes on the balcony.

“What’s going on?” Sister Zhang put down the clothes and walked to Cai Yanyan quickly.

“Pack up clothes. We’re not going to live at home today.” said Cai Yanyan in an anxious tone.

Sister Zhang felt confused, “Why not living at home? Are you going to shoot a film on location again?”

“To live in a hotel for a few days. Sister Zhang, stop asking the reason and go to pack up!” How could Cai Yanyan confess to her that she made trouble and was asked to answer for it?

Sister Zhang was Cai Yanyan’s maid. Cai Yanyan said they were going to live at the hotel so she guessed they wouldn’t stay there long and she only had to take some clothes with her. Considering they didn’t need too much luggage, she felt two suitcases would be enough. Very soon, she finished the packing.

Cai Yanyan wore a mask and a cap to “arm” herself.

Carrying two suitcases, they left the flat. When they were about to walk out of the building after taking the elevator, they saw a big figure walking over from a distance, with a familiar face. It was Shen Yan. She felt her heart seemingly stopped beating at that moment. But her body reacted more quickly than her mind. She turned around and walked backward, called for Sister Zhang in a low voice.

Sister Zhang followed Cai Yanyan to the staircase in confusion.

Though it was during the daytime, the staircase was dark. Few people chose to climb the stairs usually because elevators were available. After Cai Yanyan closed the door, the surrounding became darker.

“Miss Cai, why do you run to the staircase suddenly? What did you see just now? You look very terrified.” asked Sister Zhang.

“Sh, no talking, not even a word.”

Cai Yanyan peeped through the door slit and her heart was beating like drumming, wondering whether Shen Yan saw her just now. He didn’t see, right? After all, she reacted so quickly. She comforted herself in her heart.

Damn it. Why should he come to look for her so fast? Just now he must have headed for this building, which meant he had learned Cai Yanyan’s detailed address.

When she was thinking, she peeped at Shen Yan’s figure through the door slit, which made her seize her breath at once. She saw it clearly because the elevator was right opposite the staircase. Fearing Sister Zhang might make a sound, she looked back at her and put a finger on her lips, making a soft “Sh”.

Sister Zhang nodded. Then Cai Yanyan continued to peep through the door slit, seeing Shen Yan pressed the floor button. When he walked into the elevator, her heart, which leaped to her throat, finally dropped.

Noticing the digital number becoming bigger, Cai Yanyan pushed open the door at once and said to Sister Zhang, “You take a taxi and left first. We set off respectively and meet at the ‘Century Hotel’.”

Only Shen Yan and Liu Sijie went up just now. Cai Yanyan was afraid that their men were outside the community, too. Now she wore glasses, a mask, and a cap and got Sister Zhang to wear those things as well. In this way, Sister Zhang perhaps could mislead them.

Though Sister Zhang was completely confused, she did as what Cai Yanyan told her. The community had two gates so Sister Zhang walked to the front one while Cai Yanyan walked to the back one. After she got into the car, she immediately called Sister Zhang to confirm if she had gotten into a car already.

“I’ve gotten into the car, Miss Cai. Did you provoke the hooligans outside so they came to harass you? Hiding is not the best solution. You’d better call the police?” Sister Zhang said worriedly.

“Not hooligans. But that person has a strong social background. I’m not his rival so I can only evade him. Sister Zhang, don’t worry. I’ll deal with it.” Cai Yanyan made a simple explanation in case Sister Zhang was so terrified that she called the police.

When the car arrived at the Century Hotel and she got out of it, she saw Sister Zhang standing and looking around at the gate at once.

Cai Yanyan used Sister Zhang’s identity card to book a double room. When Cai Yanyan felt a bit relieved and was about to call Fang Feifei or someone else to ask them to reconcile for her, her phone began to ring.

“Cai Yanyan, I’m at the coffee house opposite the hotel you stay in. Do you have the courage not to come?” The call was from Shen Yan.

Cai Yanyan’s face turned white at once because Shen Yan came to find her so soon. She knew she had no place to escape, “I’ll come over right now.”

Seeing Cai Yanyan’s hands trembling madly, Sister Zhang felt very terrified, “Miss Cai, it’s the person who harasses you, right? Call the police.” Sister Zhang reminded her again, fearing Cai Yanyan might get hurt.

“Don’t. Never call the police!” Cai Yanyan gathered up her mind again so she entrusted Sister Zhang repeatedly until she gave a nod. Then Cai Yanyan went outside with her bag.

Half an hour later, Cai Yanyan and Shen Yan sat in the private room of the coffee house. Though he seemingly sat at his ease, he wore a gloomy face and his eyes looked deep.

After Cai Yanyan sat down, she raised the glass, took a sip of water and said, “Young Master Yan, I know I owe Xia Yu. But they threatened me with my unpleasant photos. I had no choice but to compromise. At that time, they ensured me that they would only frighten Xia Yu. I didn’t expect they would be so monstrous.”

“I was cheated by them. When I saw they want to molest Xia Yu indeed, I contacted you at once. I’m sorry but I didn’t do that intentionally.”

At this moment, Cai Yanyan began to cry. She had expected that after she said so, Shen Yan would definitely be in a rage and scold her, heckling her about other accomplices. In this way, he would gradually forget her.

She was waiting for Shen Yan’s rage but this man in front of her burst into laughter, which made Cai Yanyan feel confused because it was not the same as what she had expected. How could he laugh out?

“Why are you laughing?” Cai Yanyan frowned and her voice was in a high pitch because of anxiety in her heart.

Shen Yan deeply stared at her and his beautiful thin lips sneered, “Cai Yanyan, you’re a genius actress. You lie, without giving a wink. If Yang Lei hadn’t told me everything, I would have been carried away by your rhetoric.”

Her head began buzzing and became blank immediately. The air seemed to become stuffy, almost choking Cai Yanyan. She tried hard to calm herself down and comforted herself in her heart not to panic. Perhaps, he might be playing a trick. Shen Yan, this man was like a fox, shrewd indeed.

Her fingernails pierced her palms and a tingle started.

“Young Master Yan, you don’t listen to him. He talks nonsense.” Cai Yanyan forced a sentence, shivering with fear. But she didn’t dare to look into Shen Yan’s eyes.

“As for what he knows, Cai Yanyan, am I supposed to remind you again? You once worked as my secretary for a few days. Considering you were barely dutiful at that time, I choose to speak to you. Don’t be ungrateful.” Shen Yan’s voice was calm. He had given her enough patience.

This sentence struck Cai Yanyan as if she fell into hell. Her body shivered like operating a screen. He knew. He had known everything?

“Please, please don’t….” Cai Yanyan begged humbly.

“I didn’t mean to make trouble for Xia Yu. It was Zeng Mina who incited me to make Xia Yu’s acquaintance. I had no other choice.” Cai Yanyan burst into tears.

Shen Family’s two brothers competed in a crucial period. Cai Yanyan felt regretful that she misperceived the situation and chose to stand on the wrong side. When Shen Mo’s man went to her, she stood by Shen Mo’s side without giving a second thought.

After all, he was First Young Master and was well received. She, a junior secretary, never thought of making a fortune. She only wanted to work at Tengfei, living in ease.

However, Shen Yan got a couple of things done and earned a reputation. Working as a secretary for a few years, Cai Yanyan was clever enough to see the situation. She made up her mind to keep a distance from Shen Mo’s men. Just as she had expected, Shen Yan changed the management level and made Tengfei under his control completely.

Cai Yanyan felt relieved that she got rid of the affair early and didn’t do many things for Shen Mo. She had thought she could continue to work at Tengfei after the “storm” but she was wrong.

There were no Shen Mo’s men working with Shen Yan. So they turned to Cai Yanyan. Learning the lessons in the past, Cai Yanyan dared not to work for Shen Mo anymore.

Right at that moment, she met a college classmate who once courted her and got to know he worked in the film industry. She could recognize he still had a crush on her so she wondered about entering the film industry.

Meanwhile, Fang Feifei and others got promotions so she left on the pretext that she felt embarrassed.
