Chapter 141: Shen Congyue, the Young Lady of the Shen Family

Ling Hanyu walked in and glanced at Song Qingtian: “Mind your status.”

Song Qingtian was puzzled—wasn’t she the secretary?

Ling Hanyu headed for the president’s private elevator, and Song Qingtian followed.

Once inside the elevator, it was just the two of them.

Ling Hanyu spoke up: “You’re the president’s wife; there are some things you don’t need to do. Mind your status!”

Only then did Song Qingtian suddenly realize what Ling Hanyu meant by “mind your status.”

She nodded and replied, “I understand.”

Outwardly, she was the president’s wife; behind the scenes, she was the secretary.

When no one was around, she handled everything efficiently; when something came up, she played the role of a decorative figure.

As they stepped out of the elevator, Ling Hanyu asked, “How did you and Qin Xiaotian meet?”

Song Qingtian thought for a moment and said, “Before, when I was at home, he was injured and chased by someone who broke in. Seeing how pitiful he looked, I gave him a few pills and helped him escape danger.”

“A few pills?”

“Yeah. I remember someone was looking for him outside the villa. It was dark, so he climbed in through the window. I was scared, but later I hid him in the bathroom.”

Those people searched everywhere and even came into the villa, but the original female supporting character was quite clever—she not only pretended to stay calm but also turned on the music at home to entertain herself.

Seeing that the original female supporting character was playing by herself outside, they didn’t go in.

After searching for a while, they left.

At this moment, Ling Hanyu stopped.

Just as Song Qingtian was standing next to the wall, his hand pressed against it, his face icy cold, and those dark eyes left no room for argument.

“Weren’t you two first love?”

“No.”

“You said so in the conference room.”

“I said it on purpose, just to make everyone feel a bit guilty toward me. Otherwise, if they all joined forces, how could I possibly get them to believe me?”

Ling Hanyu was taken aback, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes.

“So you and Qin Xiaotian aren’t first love?”

Song Qingtian laughed, furious.

“You did it on purpose?”

Song Qingtian looked down her nose at Ling Hanyu.

The original female supporting character had liked him for a long time—besides Ling Hanyu, could there really be another person who was her first love?

Ling Hanyu suddenly understood and leaned closer.

“Swear it!”

Song Qingtian was surprised and stared at Ling Hanyu, completely confused: “Swear what?”

“Swear that I’m the first person you ever liked, that Qin Xiaotian isn’t your first love, and that you two only met because he saved your life.”

Song Qingtian groaned, “Why should I swear? I’m not swearing!”

“Dare you?”

Ling Hanyu pressed his body against Song Qingtian’s, applying just a little pressure, and she immediately felt the aura of conquest radiating from him.

She raised her hand, trying to push Ling Hanyu away.

But this time, her hand happened to get stuck on Ling Hanyu’s waist.

As she pushed with both hands, Ling Hanyu’s expression changed.

A faint flush appeared, and he pressed his face against her cheek, biting her gently.

“Behave yourself!”

Song Qingtian bit her lip slightly—damn the original female supporting character! Even after she’s dead, she still can’t keep quiet.

What about the heartbeat?

But a heartbeat is a heartbeat—what did she do?

And how dare Ling Hanyu tell her to behave herself?

It was he who was acting wildly—what was that hand doing, groping around like that?

“Ling Hanyu, you…”

“President Ling…”

Voices from the accounting department downstairs rang out, and Song Qingtian suddenly turned her face away, using Ling Hanyu’s coat to shield it.

Ling Hanyu took the opportunity to press Song Qingtian’s head against his chest, then reluctantly looked over at the speaker.

With a casual glance, Ling Hanyu noticed Shen Congyue already standing there.

Shen Congyue was Ling Hanyu’s junior schoolmate.

They came from the same school, and both families were from prestigious backgrounds.

To understand these prestigious families, we have to go back to Ling Hanyu’s grandfather. His parents fell in love freely and had a very harmonious relationship—they grew up together, childhood sweethearts.

Going back even further, to Ling Hanyu’s grandfather’s generation, he had several close friends who were also from wealthy families and had been friends for generations.

When they were young, they often hung out together, and later, when they started families and built careers, they continued to support each other.

A powerful conglomerate always needs backing.

It’s a good thing to have trustworthy friends from previous generations to rely on.

The Shen family was one of those families.

Ling Hanyu and the Shen family had known each other for a long time and played together since childhood.

But later their relationship grew distant, as their fields of work gradually changed.

They weren’t even in the same city anymore, so they had fewer and fewer interactions.

Until they both went to university—Shen Congyue attended the same university as Ling Hanyu—and through frequent encounters, the two families began to consider a marriage alliance.

However, Ling Hanyu repeatedly refused, and Shen Congyue didn’t take it to heart.

Instead, she grew fond of this city and decided to stay.

To make a living, she started working at Ling Hanyu’s company.

She began as a junior accountant and eventually rose to the position of chief accountant in the finance department.

“Is there something?”

“This is this year’s financial report—I brought it for you.”

Shen Congyue handed the report to Ling Hanyu, who held Song Qingtian in one arm and reached out with the other to take it.

Song Qingtian slipped out of Ling Hanyu’s embrace and turned to look at Shen Congyue—she recognized her at once: this was the girl who had secretly loved Ling Hanyu for years, Shen Congyue, the young lady of the Shen family!
