Xu Liancheng was Mr. King?

No, no, no.

It should be said that Xu Liancheng and Mr. King were the same people.

Ye Qinghe felt that her worldview was about to collapse.

She and Xu Liancheng had known each other for a long time. Since they were in the same university, she had been subdued by his cold aura as he wore a golden mask.

But she never thought that there would be such a handsome face under that mask.

He...

He had hidden for so long, even using his unknown identity to create a legend that was different from Xu Family.

How could he be so outstanding?

The woman's eyes were filled with yearning and reverence.

But at the same time, the flames of jealousy in her heart burned higher and higher.

He did not belong to her, at least for now. Thinking of how she had taken the initiative to give him their photos just now and speak disrespectfully, Ye Qinghe felt like she was a fool.

What exactly did she do?

She was angrier at Hei Chen. That's right, that idiot Hei Chen didn't warn her, causing her to make a fool of herself like this. He didn't mean it when saying he admired and worshipped her, right?

Men!

None of them were good!

With her mind filled with anger, her brain was temporarily stuck. Because she was too focused on how to kill Zhuang Momo and replace her, she did not pay attention to the road under her feet.

And then—

Plop—

The 30-year-old Young Miss Ye Qinghe, in front of all the staff in the Hidden Department, fell solidly on the horse field on the outskirts of the city.

An unpleasant smell assaulted her nose.

In her line of sight, an unspeakable thing was infinitely magnified.

It is a natural machine fertilizer, also known as horse manure—

"Ah!!!"

The woman's hysterical scream resounded through the sky. Behind the scenes, Xu Liancheng, who was sitting in front of the monitor, frowned. He rubbed his chin and muttered, "Is my face so hard to accept? Why did it scare her like this?"

"However, it is also possible that Ye Qinghe has weak psychological quality. Momo is much better than her. It is better to follow the original plan."

Bill stood at the side, feeling speechless. Other than feeling his Boss was more and more confident, there was nothing else to say.

On the grass ground.

Ye Qinghe lay on the ground for ten minutes before she managed to get up with difficulty.

Before she could tidy up her styling and resume her beauty, Bill was already standing opposite her with a smile, blocking her way and stretching out a hand.

Ye Qinghe did not understand what was going on and bit her lips warily.

"Because you are not in a good state recently, even falling under daylight. For yourself and the company, Boss decided to give you a vacation. Please give me the company's key."

"Vacation?"

Ye Qinghe suspected that she had hearing problems.

The public market was about to open. He made her, the district manager and chief appraiser, take a vacation. Was Xu Liancheng crazy?

"Yes, the company system shows that you have not taken a vacation for three consecutive years. To make it up to you, Boss specially approved a month of vacation for you, which is not counted in the annual leave. If you want, you can directly rest for two months."

Bill said gently, with his brows full of concern.

If it were anyone else, he might be happy. In this era where the over-working system was at its peak, if the boss took the initiative to give you a holiday and was afraid it would not be long enough, he was considered to have a conscience in the industry.

But to Ye Qinghe, this was no different from a nightmare.

Why did she choose not to enjoy her life as the Young Miss in Ye Family and come to work in Xu Corps? Wasn't it for the sake of being the matriarch of the Xu Family?

Now, she had already fallen behind Zhuang Momo unknowingly. In another two months.

Without a reason to work, would she still have any interaction with him?

"I'm in good health. I don't need to rest..."

Before Ye Qinghe could finish her words, she felt her left leg go soft, and she fell forward uncontrollably.

Although Bill didn't like her, he couldn't just watch her fall in front of him. He quickly reached out to support her, keeping a distance from her like a gentleman.

The man's smiling eyes widened in front of her. Ye Qinghe felt extremely aggrieved but could not say anything.

She thanked him coldly.

She limped away.

Thinking of her meticulous arrangements over the years, she suddenly felt less aggrieved.

So what if she returned the key?

Now, the people in charge of those regions were all her trusted subordinates. She did not believe that anyone could be in charge of the outer region of the Xu Hai region.

However, right now, she had to find someone to vent her anger.

...

"Miss Qinghe? It's me, I'm Hei Chen."

When receiving Ye Qinghe's call, Hei Chen was driving to buy a new type of wine for Zhuang Momo.

Originally, there was no need for him, the Commander of the hidden guard, to do this.

But everyone in the manor seemed to be busy with something, killing sheep and picking fruits.

Only he, who was only responsible for Zhuang Momo's safety, was idle.

He could not understand why his colleagues were so easily bribed. What was so good about the pile of crude and cheap gifts Zhuang Momo brought back from abroad?

Especially for him, it was a few bottles of sunscreen combination.

Why would he, a big man, want this? However, his colleagues were very happy, including Hei Xing, his little disciple. He said that Zhuang Momo was super good and considerate, giving everyone the gift they needed.

Seeing that he didn't want it, he took his gift away, saying that men had to take care of themselves.

What does a man need to take care of? His name is Hei Chen. It doesn't seem to be a big deal if he was tanned, right?

Also, was the wine in the underground manor not enough to drink for her? Must she drink some rubbish brand that he had never heard of? Tsk tsk, indeed, even if she was married, she couldn't change the petty nature in her bones!

"Hei Chen, is it convenient for you to talk now? I have something to ask you."

"Or should we meet and talk?"

Ye Qinghe's mind was in chaos, and her tone became more urgent.

"I'm driving. Where are you now, Miss Qinghe? I'm here to buy wine. I'm afraid I can't be out for too long," Thinking about how he had been warned not long ago, Hei Chen restrained himself a little bit.

"Buy wine?"

"Yes, Madam wants to drink a wine of an unpopular brand. I am looking for it all over the city," Hei Chen said. Seeing that Ye Qinghe seemed to be interested, he told her about how Zhuang Momo planned to hold a bonfire party at home after returning this afternoon.

"I know a supermarket that sells this wine," Ye Qinghe glanced at the picture and vaguely recalled that she seemed to have seen it in an imported supermarket.

"How about this, I'll go to the supermarket now. Let's meet and talk."

"Alright."

"See you later."

Hei Chen had been obedient to his goddess' words. When seeing her take the initiative to invite him, he immediately forgot about Zhuang Momo.

Go back as soon as possible?

No way!

...

Xu Family's hidden guard was a little different from the traditional one.

To be more specific. After Xu Liancheng took over, for a better retirement, every hidden guard was also someone with status on the surface.

He could be a doctor, a businessman, or a teacher.

They would not do it, but they did have identities.

Moreover, Xu Liancheng also set a rule that hidden guards could get married during his appointment period as long as it would not affect his work.

Therefore, as the commander of the hidden guard, Hei Chen also had an identity on the surface. He was a successful person. Wearing a suit with golden threads and a famous watch, he looked like a great bachelor.

It was a pity.

Having been by Xu Liancheng's side for a long time, he become increasingly picky.

For the women around him...

Either he didn't like them.

Or, he didn't dare to pursue.

Just like when he saw Ye Qinghe gracefully walk toward him in her high heels, his soul trembled. She was like the most beautiful snow lotus on Sky Mountain, which he could see but could not touch.

"Have you been waiting for a long time?" Ye Qinghe said gently.

"No, no, I just came out of the garage," Hei Chen replied very quickly. In front of the goddess, even the most confident person could not help but be nervous.

"Then, if you are not in a hurry, how about treating you to a meal? Let's talk while eating?"

"How can I let Miss Qinghe spend so much? I'll treat you to the meal. Would you like Japanese dishes or steak? There are two good ones upstairs," Although he never dared to pursue her, Hei Chen made a lot of preparation.

He was familiar with Ye Qinghe's preferences, even more than Zhuang Momo who he should protect.

His thoughtfulness was also very useful to Qinghe. After some thought, she went upstairs.

Both of them automatically forgot about buying wine for Zhuang Momo. Then, Hei Chen considerately ordered a series of food that Ye Qinghe loved.

"What!"

"The Boss is Mr. King, and Mr. King is the Boss?"

Hei Chen was stunned when learning about this 'secret' from Ye Qinghe. He was shocked that Xu Liancheng had two identities, but at the same time, he was also suspicious of his career.

He was the commander of the Xu Family's hidden guard. He didn't know that the master he followed had two identities.

Seeing his panicked reaction, even dropping his fork on the ground, a hint of disdain flashed through Ye Qinghe's heart. He always said that he was Xu Liancheng's confidant. If so, would he not even know this little secret?

However, wasn't it easier to make use of him? She, who was familiar with psychology, gently tapped the table with her little finger as she quickly thought.

"You don't know either?" She covered her mouth in surprise(to cover up her smile), her eyebrows furrowed, and she wanted to say something.

"I thought you knew. After all, you are the commander of the Xu Family's hidden guard. I didn't expect that we were all deceived," Ye Qinghe sighed faintly and twitched the corners of her mouth in self-mockery.

She didn't say anything else. She didn't even mention Xu Liancheng or his identity until they finished eating.

But looking at Hei Chen's clenched fists as he left, she knew that he had already listened to her words. Moreover, the seed of his hatred for the Xu Family had already taken root and sprouted.

Watching him drive away, Ye Qinghe casually threw an empty bottle into the unrecyclable trash can.

Yes, in the photos given by the private detective, Zhuang Momo and Xu Liancheng were suitable. But that was based on the fact that both of them were good-looking. What if she wasn't?

For example, what if she had a disfigurement?
