An Le left in Shen Shu’s car.

But truth be told, she didn’t want to leave so soon—she’d rather spend more time with Ming Yue, even though she’d already figured out that last night’s incident was somehow connected to Ming Yue.

So what if it was?

If someone dared to bully her like that, wasn’t she entitled to fight back?

If it were her, making that bastard pay for his misdeeds would be the least of it—she’d make sure he lost a layer of skin and remembered today’s lesson well.

“What’s wrong? Still mad at me for dragging you away?”

From the driver’s seat, Shen Shu turned his head to look at the woman who was staring off into space.

An Le ignored him and kept gazing out the window, lost in thought.

Shen Shu reached over and gently took her hand. “It’s not that I don’t want you to stay and keep Ming Yue company—it’s just that the Boss ordered us to leave right away.”

“Jiang Feng?”

“Yeah.”

“What does he mean?” As soon as Jiang Feng came up, An Le perked right up. She stopped sulking at the unnamed male operative and turned to him, eyes alight with curiosity. “Speaking of him, I’ve got something to ask you. Do you know anything? What on earth is going on with him?”

After a brief pause, An Le pressed on. “Name’s Shen—don’t tell me you don’t know a thing. You’re his most loyal lackey; I can’t believe you really don’t know anything!”

“Now, now—what are you saying? I’m just an employee. Sure, my salary’s a bit higher and my position carries more authority, but I’m still just a gofer, a lackey. Why would he confide in me about everything?”

Shen Shu gave a perfunctory smile.

But An Le wasn’t buying it. Her nose was sharp. There were certain scents that could stir up questions in her mind, yet out of respect, she hadn’t asked Ming Yue about them. This man beside her, however, was different. Even if they weren’t officially boyfriend and girlfriend, he was still no ordinary person. So she decided to ask straight up.

When Shen Shu brushed her off, she shot him a piercing glance. “Oh, you really don’t know? Or do you know full well but won’t say?”

“I truly don’t know!” Shen Shu declared firmly.

An Le didn’t waste any more words. “Stop the car!”

“Lele!”

“I said stop the car—didn’t you hear me?”

“Stop fooling around!”

“Who’s fooling around? Name’s Shen—stop the car!”

“No way.”

“Shen Shu!”

“Alright, alright—I’ll tell you, okay?” Shen Shu conceded defeat.

An Le immediately fell silent, propping her chin with one hand and turning her head to look at the man beside her. “Well then, spill it—what exactly do you know?”

“Actually, the Boss and Ming Yue…” Shen Shu gritted his teeth and finally came clean. “The Boss and Ming Yue are already together.”

“What? It’s really true!”

An Le quickly clapped a hand over her mouth. Last night at the party, she’d already sensed a similar scent between the two; after running into them in the hallway today, that feeling had grown even stronger.

Yet she’d kept her curiosity in check and hadn’t asked a single question. Who would have thought her keen nose would prove so reliable after all, leading her straight to the truth?

It took her a while to snap out of it before she lowered her voice and asked the man beside her in a hushed, conspiratorial tone, “When did this happen?”

“I don’t know.”

Shen Shu really didn’t know. The only reason he’d found out about the Boss and Ming Yue being together was because, during a business trip to Country M to report to the Boss, he’d happened to catch them in the act.

“So they…”

“They have no intention of making it public, so you shouldn’t spread the word either. But rest assured—I can tell the Boss really likes Ming Yue and cares deeply about her. He’ll protect her, so you don’t have to worry about anything bad happening to her again,” Shen Shu reassured An Le.

An Le let out a sigh of relief. “I hope so.”

As for Jiang Feng’s abilities, An Le had complete faith in him.
