Li Yichen was so furious he felt like he was about to explode. He charged downstairs.
Zhu Yu and Shen Jingyan followed behind him.
"Mu Yuqing!!! You think I'm an idiot, don't you?"
Mu Yuqing had still been wondering what was going on when she suddenly heard Li Yichen's voice. Her eyes flew wide open!
Why was Li Yichen here too?
Li Yichen could no longer control the rage in his heart. He stepped forward and tried to shove Mu Yuqing.
Seeing that she could not see, Shen Jingyan thought that shove could cause trouble and quickly grabbed his friend.
Zhu Yu pursed his lips. No matter who got hurt, the female lead could never be the one to get hurt, all right?
Smack!
Pretending to be worried, Zhu Yu stepped forward and slapped Shen Jingyan's hand away.
Shen Jingyan clutched his hand in pain.
Li Yichen got his wish and pushed Mu Yuqing over. Perhaps this world truly had its own rules.
Mu Yuqing did not fall to the floor. Instead, she fell onto the sofa beside her.
--[Sure enough, I guessed right. The female lead can't be hurt by any cannon-fodder extras other than the male lead.]
Hearing that, Shen Jingmo turned the ring on his right hand with his left.
No one except the male lead could hurt her? Then that meant Ayan could hurt her?
As Shen Jingmo thought this, he nudged Li Yiyan with his foot: Try it.
Li Yiyan looked completely bewildered. Me? He did not want to have anything to do with the woman in front of him.
Mu Yuqing finally pushed herself up from the sofa and stood again.
Li Yiyan did not deliberately push her. He merely passed by her, his arm brushing lightly against hers.
Bang!!!
With just that light touch, Mu Yuqing fell straight onto the smooth tiles.
Li Yiyan stood there in a daze. He could swear that it had only been the slightest brush. Someone else might not even have swayed from that, yet she had fallen over just like that?
Zhu Yu's eyes lit up!!!
--[Sure enough, this really is a domineering CEO chasing-his-wife story. Two-thirds of the female lead's injuries come from the male lead!!!]
"Cough!" Shen Jingmo gave Zhu Yu a quiet cough.
Zhu Yu glanced at him. It was finally his turn to step in. It was finally time for him to put this farce in order.
"Miss Mu! Are you all right?" Zhu Yu helped Mu Yuqing up.
"I'm fine. Thank you, Assistant Zhu." Mu Yuqing still spoke in a soft, gentle voice.
"I think you should be fine too. After all, the floor tiles aren't broken." Zhu Yu answered with a smile.
Mu Yuqing's expression stiffened at those words. How could floor tiles compare to her?
"Miss Mu, you may not know this, but each tile used for our boss's precious body costs six figures. See the glittering gold dust on these tiles? That's real gold powder."
"So that's how it is. I..." Mu Yuqing felt somewhat awkward.
"Ah! I almost forgot that Miss Mu can't see. Of course you can't see the glittering gold powder."
"It's fine, I can just tell you. Besides, you barged in just now, and your shoes are covered in mud. These tiles have turned black."
"I'm terribly sorry..."
"There's nothing to be sorry about. Cleaning will only cost a few tens of thousands. Will you be paying by phone, cash, or check?"
"Pfft!" Shen Jingyan tightly restrained his good friend, but Zhu Yu's words made him burst out laughing.
Li Yichen's mood visibly improved as he looked at the bedraggled Mu Yuqing. It was not worth getting angry over a woman like this. He would just treat his past kindness as filthy water he had thrown away.
Mu Yuqing's entire body was trembling. It was unclear whether she was angry or frightened.
Looking at Mu Yuqing, who still did not answer, Zhu Yu smiled as he delivered the words that crushed her final line of defense.
"How about I write you an IOU, and Miss Mu can sign it? Um, can you sign your name? If not, a fingerprint will do."
"I'm truly sorry. I'll definitely pay it back someday." Mu Yuqing no longer had the face to stay there and hurriedly ran out through the front door.
Zhu Yu watched the female lead accurately find the entrance again and sighed. Was this the female lead's cheat ability?
Zhu Yu had not gotten any money. Sadly, he turned to look at the people behind him.
Unable to hold back, Li Yiyan gave him a huge thumbs-up.
Assistant Zhu, you are the hero who saved me.
The corners of Shen Jingmo's lips curled up slightly. Sure enough, watching Zhu Yu tear into people in person was especially entertaining.
Li Yichen lowered his head dejectedly.
Shen Jingyan had been laughing happily when he suddenly felt the struggling force beneath his hand weaken. He looked over in confusion.
"Brother? What's wrong? You're so young, and you're already worn out?"
"Get lost!!!" Li Yichen was immediately kicked out of the grief of his fresh heartbreak by his good friend's words.
Zhu Yu looked at the two foolish young men in front of him.
"If you two are all right, go back upstairs and keep organizing the documents."
"Assistant Zhu, you have no heart. I just got my heart broken, and you still want me to organize documents." Li Yichen shot Zhu Yu a resentful look.
"Yeah, my brother just got his heart broken. I have to keep him company." Shen Jingyan looked at Zhu Yu with shining eyes.
Li Yiyan and Shen Jingmo instinctively glanced at Zhu Yu's unreadable expression. They exchanged a look and silently took a sip of coffee. The end was coming for these two boys.
"Why should I have a heart? Your heartbreak has nothing to do with me, but you not organizing documents because of heartbreak has everything to do with me."
"If you don't organize documents because you're heartbroken, my salary will be reduced. If my salary is reduced, my quality of life will decline. If my quality of life declines, my mood will worsen. If my mood worsens, your workload will increase."
"If your workload increases, things will go badly for you. Therefore, it can be concluded that if you get heartbroken and don't organize documents, things will go badly for you."
Zhu Yu folded his arms and smiled at the two of them.
