CEO's Pampered Sweetheart

Mu Shengchen grabbed the milk from the table and take a huge gulp. Upon hearing his words, he placed the glass back onto the surface. He glanced up. "The property in the West area?"    

"Yes." Immediately, Assistant Wei placed the documents on the table for both of them to see.    

Mu Shengchen grabbed the folder. "There was news about hundreds of corporations fighting over this land. How did we get this?" He cocked up an eyebrow in interest.    

"Well, the government did approve the three billion yuan investment, so hundreds are dying to get a piece of this project." Yan Rui leaned back. "However, I talked with the Mayor. Turns out, he'll pick us as long as we're willing to do it."    

Flipping through the information unhurriedly, he tilted his head. No one could really know what the man was thinking. After a long time, he finally shrugged. "Tell Mayor Mu that Shengxiang Group will be taking over the project."    

He may have sounded very casual, but even for him, three billion yuan was very much a treat.    

"Of course." Yan Rui nodded. "Also...the Green Dragon Gang had been wiped out last night."    

"The Green Dragon Gang?" Mu Shengchen raised his eyebrows in surprise. The Shengxiang Group never really had much contact with the gang in its dealings within the city. However, he knew how much hold the gang had over City B. Who could've destroyed them overnight?    

"There was still no news of the ordeal, only that they've been eliminated."    

"It's not done by some ordinary person," he later responded. "Just pay close attention to any more information about their downfall."    

"Understood, Sir." However, just as he was about to leave with Assistant Wei, Wen Qianer's soft voice sounded from the door.    

"Mr. Mu, President Yan, should I start dinner?"    

"Ask Qianyu to come down as well," he instructed.    

Yan Rui grinned widely at his choice of words, whispering in his ear. "Is Young Madame resting in her room?"    

Mu Shengchen was far from amused. "You can go back to your office now."    

"Ah..." His smile turned mischievous. "But I just got off work. I'll be happy to stay and dine."    

Upon hearing the two converse, Assistant Wei felt himself stiffening. He really dared provoke the director like this! Did he want to get fired? He could feel his hands getting clammy.    

However, Wen Qianer couldn't care less about their conversation. All she could think about was her boss's words. Ask Qianyu to come down? Had she heard the man wrong?    

Never in her life had she seen the cold Mr. Mu care for someone like that before. Why did this new nanny have such a privilege? Did she do something to him? Hmph!    

Despite this, she didn't dare disobey. She bowed and made her way up the second floor.    

Inside one of the rooms, Ning Qianyu carefully grazed her fingers across the half-made Heart Knot. The corners of her lips curved up into a small smile. Despite everything she had endured, it was all worth it.    

However, just as she was about to set it down, the door immediately slammed open. Wen Qianer stomped inside.    

"Is something wrong?" She frowned.    

When the older woman saw the half-woven heart in Ning Qianyu's hand, her face darkened immensely.    

A Heart Knot? Did she think that she's on the same level as Mr. Mu?    

She had been guarding this villa for three years! If anyone were to deserve him, it was her! She had fallen in love with Mr. Mu and has been secretly pining for him. She knew how to take care of him, and one day, he'd see her as his lover too.    

Wen Qianer's face suddenly broke into a smile. "I came to ask you if you need anything else."    

Originally, she had come to invite her out to dinner, but now, she changed her mind. She could rot in here for all she cared.    

Ning Qianyu glanced around. "There's no bathroom here."    

Bathroom? "It's at the other end of the corridor."    

"Thank you." Placing the heart knot on the bed, she got up and headed out of the room. Although she was slightly annoyed with the woman in front of her, she was still satisfied with what she had achieved.    

After the woman had left for the washroom, a trace of gloominess flashed in Wen Qianer's eyes. She turned around and walked straight into her room.    

Not long after entering, she left right after.    

Ning Qianyu returned to her room. However, when she saw what was on her bed, her heart immediately dropped to her stomach. The heart knot that she had originally made was cut into pieces.    

"My heart knot!" she cried out in surprise, picking up the colorful satin pieces.    

Her heart was only half done. No one else knew she had made this, except...    

At the thought, her eyebrows furrowed over and her face shifted into a scowl. Clutching the knot to her chest, she stomped right out of the room. How could she have done this?    

After Wen Qianer had gone downstairs, she reported to Mu Shengchen, "Mr. Mu, Ms. Ning said that she's resting and that she doesn't want to eat with you."    

"She said that?" He slammed the chopsticks on the table.    

Seeing him so angry, she added, "She said that she likes to eat alone."    

As soon as the words slipped her lips, the entire dining room fell silent. Even Yan Rui had to look up from his plate. A nervous look flash in his eyes as he carefully glanced at his boss.    

"Is that so?" Mu Shengchen stared at her for a long time.    

While he meant to intimidate, Wen Qianer thought otherwise. Clutching her chest excitedly, a small smile bloomed in her features as she nodded rapidly. "Yes, Mr. Mu," she said, trying to make her voice as smooth and sweet as possible.    

Yan Rui glanced at Butler Wen. He'd be an idiot if he didn't know what was going on. His eyes narrowed as he quickly waved her away.    

The only woman in his heart was the Young Mistress.    

Young Master Chen wouldn't bother the women who hit on him, but he'd certainly punish anyone who would speak behind Young Mistress's back. That was his bottom line.    

Yan Rui simply waved her off this time because she had been a housekeeper for the villa for so many years. It would be a waste if she had been fired just like that.    

Unfortunately, Wen Qianer didn't know Yan Rui's hard work at all. She simply    

But she knew very well the relationship between Yan Rui and Mu Shengchen. Disrespecting the vice president was like a slap on the president's face as well. Knowing that she couldn't do anything about it, she stomped into the living room instead.    

Ning Qianyu was coming down the stairs when she saw Wen Qianer standing in the corner. "Butler Wen."    

"Is something wrong?" she said in disdain.    

"Did you do this?" She waved the satin up in the air.    

Wen Qianer glanced at the satin in her hands and finally figured out why the woman had come to find her. Even then, she wasn't going to admit to it that easily. "I don't know what you're talking about."    

"You're the only one who has been there. When I went to the bathroom, I came back to this. You really don't know what I'm talking about?" Ning Qianyu clenched the satin under her fist. She didn't want to bicker with others but the woman had gone too far this time.    

"I don't know what you're talking about," she repeated.    

Wen Qianer had been a housekeeper in this villa for three years, and this woman was just a new nanny. What authority did this bitch have over her? She clenched her fists.
