When Love Turns the Tables: The Mysterious Husband's Chase Chapter 136: Is It Love or Obsession? (6)

Assistant Miss Qiao thought that after their boss personally dealt with those people, his mood might improve, yet until they returned to Shengshi, Sheng Jianan’s expression remained as cold as the perpetual snow on Mount Everest.

During the eting, several departnts made consecutive mistakes, directly triggering the boss’s temper. For a mont, the entire Shengshi Group was enveloped in a gloomy atmosphere, even the cleaning lady was walking briskly with her head down.

After Sheng Jianan threw a fit in the eting room and returned to his office, the first thing he did was check his phone, which was perfectly quiet without even a single ssage. The expression on Young Master Sheng’s face grew even darker.

When he called, the other person had their phone turned off. After such a long ti, there was still no return call—clearly, they were avoiding him. Was he a beast? He couldn’t see at all how that woman, who rendered him speechless in no ti, could really be afraid of him.

The gloomy tension persisted until noon. Qiao Zi ca in to report, "President, Young Master Ze is here."

Sheng Jianan raised an eyebrow. Zhou Chengze never treated entering his office any differently than entering his own ho, yet today he unexpectedly had soone announce it first?

Sheng Jianan managed a cold cough with a sour face: "Let him wait."

"Huh?"

Qiao Zi was bewildered. These two brothers were so close they might as well wear the sa pair of pants. What was going on today?

Of course, Zhou Chengze wouldn’t actually just wait when Sheng Jianan asked him to. Before Qiao Zi even finished repeating the ssage, Zhou Chengze had already barged in casually, with a reddened nose and a strong nasal tone in his voice.

"Hey hey, Brother Nan, that’s not right, how can you keep the door closed like this?"

Sheng Jianan looked up at him without speaking. Qiao Zi brought in a cup of ginger tea with a smile, "Young Master Ze, ginger tea, it wards off the cold and cures colds."

Qiao Zi was well-intentioned, recognizing that Zhou Chengze had caught a cold and so she poured him a cup of ginger tea. But before her smile could fade, she heard Sheng Jianan’s sarcastic comnt: "Young Master Zhou, hero saves beauty, fearless of anything."

Huh? What’s going on?

Qiao Zi was at a loss, and Zhou Chengze coughed lightly, saying to Qiao Zi, "The incredibly beautiful Miss Qiao, could you please step outside? I need to have a word with your black-faced president."

"Sure."

Qiao Zi quickly exited. She was skilled at reading the room, and it was clear these two brothers were having a spat. As a subordinate, she definitely wasn’t going to get involved in a family matter.

Inside the office, only Zhou Chengze and Sheng Jianan were left. After staring at each other for a long ti, Zhou Chengze was the first to capitulate: "Alright, Brother Nan, it was reckless of last night. I just thought you weren’t there, so I went over to help your sister-in-law."

Upon ntioning Tang Yanqi, Sheng Jianan involuntarily glanced at his phone again, which remained quiet without any activity. His brow furrowed again, and his tone was unpleasant: "Stay out of that woman’s business in the future, don’t bring unnecessary trouble on yourself."

Zhou Chengze wasn’t sure if he was being too sensitive, but he thought he detected a hint of jealousy in Sheng Jianan’s words. It wasn’t the sa surprise and excitent as when he first discovered Sheng Jianan had fallen for soone. Now, Zhou Chengze felt inexplicably comforted and a bit bitter.

Comforted because, if Sheng Jianan could also fall in love with her, then that woman should be very happy, and bitter... Zhou Chengze didn’t delve deeper into that feeling, instead tugging at the corner of his mouth with his usual playboy grin: "Hmm, even if I wanted to, I couldn’t get involved. I’m heading to D City for about three months. How about we get together tonight? My tragic fate is about to begin."
