Supreme Divine Physician in the City Chapter 1565: Yumo, I’m Jealous

"Hey, little devil Jing, how long has it been since you last visited East Sea? Things have certainly changed. Lin Tong’s desire to have Ye Xuan as vice-CEO was a decision made two months ago."

Liu Ying directed an eye-roll towards Leng Qiuge, responding with a pout, "Completely useless! Why don’t you just ask Lin Tong yourself if she still holds that same thought?"

Ye Xuan arched an eyebrow at this remark.

Little devil Jing?

Hmm, that moniker seemed to fit Leng Qiuge quite well, he mused.

But then again...

Liu Ying, what is your problem? Who are you calling useless? Did I do something to offend you? Just you wait and see tonight when darkness falls!

Lin Tong, overhearing Liu Ying’s words, looked at Ye Xuan with a sense of helplessness before stating, "Liu Ying is correct. I do not anticipate Ye Xuan taking his work seriously, so let’s appoint Liu Ying as the vice-CEO of Eastern Group."

"An excellent decision, Lin Tong!" Liu Ying beamed, clearly pleased.

Leng Qiuge compressed her lips, rendered speechless, and cast a sullen glance at Liu Ying, silently nursing a grievance.

Despite Leng Qiuge and Liu Ying having been acquainted since childhood, friendship did not preclude personal slights. Liu Ying had evidently irked her today, and retribution would be due at a later time.

Ye Xuan could readily perceive Leng Qiuge’s unspoken feelings.

He felt a touch of bewilderment internally.

These intricate relationships nowadays were quite vexing, he thought.

Leng Qiuge was Lin Tong’s closest confidante, and Liu Ying now seemed to be entirely under Lin Tong’s command. Hmm, the future certainly promised to be an interesting affair.

However, Lin Tong appeared unconcerned by the underlying tension, casting a deliberate or perhaps accidental glance towards Ye Xuan, a silent sigh escaping her.

Recollecting the past, she often wished Ye Xuan would elevate his commitment and assume at least a senior role within the company, did she not?

Looking back now, she realized the narrow-mindedness of her own perspective.

Ye Xuan, this individual, capable of virtually anything—compared to his extraordinary abilities, the positions of sales manager and even vice-CEO at Eastern Group seemed utterly trivial...

"I truly wonder how many more secrets this man harbors."

Lin Tong shook her head, suddenly perceiving Ye Xuan as an unfathomable wellspring, brimming with inexhaustible treasures.

So profound and mysterious!

...

Upon returning home, it was nearing midday.

Lin Tong instructed Wu Ma to prepare lunch and subsequently engaged in discussions regarding company affairs with Liu Ying. Naturally, Leng Qiuge also participated in their meeting.

These three remarkable women, each a prodigy in the business world, collectively deliberated on various critical issues and future strategies, presenting plans that were virtually impeccable.

Meanwhile, Ye Xuan, possessing no inclination towards accumulating wealth, paid no attention to their high-level summit.

He spent some time playing with Xiao Yunduo, endured a brief period of being bothered by Chi Lian, and then, after partaking in lunch, he departed in his vehicle.

This particular excursion had spanned over half a month. Although Ye Xiaoying’s affliction with the cold poison had lessened compared to its previous severity, it still warranted serious attention and could not be easily disregarded.

Following the administration of acupuncture treatment to Ye Xiaoying, Ye Xuan proceeded towards Eastern Group.

The reason for his visit?

It was certainly not due to an abrupt urge on Ye Xuan’s part to engage in sincere work.

Ye Xuan harbored a very specific objective as he made his way to the Human Resources department.

"Manager Ye!"

Having frequented the HR department numerous times, Ye Xuan was quite familiar to nearly everyone employed there. As soon as he arrived, a chorus of warm greetings erupted.

Ye Xuan offered a wave in acknowledgment and proceeded directly towards the manager’s office.

As Ye Xuan drew nearer, Su Yumo’s assistant’s cheeks flushed, a peculiar smile gracing her lips, as she speculated that the manager might lack the vigor for work again that afternoon...

Precisely as expected, Ye Xuan pushed the door open.

Inside, he observed an exquisitely beautiful woman reclining on the sofa, engrossed in her mobile phone. Her curvaceous physique, delicate features, and relaxed posture, all accentuated by her professional attire, presented an exceedingly alluring spectacle.

"Ahem!"

Ye Xuan closed the door, noticing that Su Yumo remained oblivious to his presence, and cleared his throat softly: "What are you watching so intently? Your man has returned, and you haven’t even noticed?"

"Ah?"

Su Yumo let out a surprised exclamation and finally registered Ye Xuan’s arrival, her face instantly lighting up with joy: "Ye Xuan, you’re back!"

As these words left her lips, Su Yumo sprang up like a cat and launched herself into Ye Xuan’s embrace.

Ye Xuan enfolded her in his arms, his laughter echoing, "It’s been half a month since I last saw you, Yumo, and you’ve somehow become even more captivating."

"Silly boy, you’re always trying to flatter me!" Su Yumo replied bashfully, "I’ve actually lost a bit of weight recently; didn’t you mention before that you preferred me a little fuller?"

"When you’re thin, I adore thin; when you’re plump, I adore plump." Ye Xuan chuckled, "A person’s preferences can evolve, you know."

"You’re such a smooth talker!" Su Yumo felt a wave of warmth wash over her entire being. She recognized that Ye Xuan was merely uttering pleasantries, yet it still filled her with immense happiness.

Ye Xuan grinned, bestowing a firm embrace.

"Ah!"

Su Yumo squealed, then playfully chided, her voice laced with shyness, "Stop fooling around!"

"Stop fooling around? It’s been a fortnight, don’t you miss me at all?" Ye Xuan inquired.

"Of course, I miss you dearly, but this is the office. You can’t be disruptive here. Let’s wait until after work hours, shall we?" Su Yumo responded, her body tensing slightly.

There's an undeniable allure to a woman of maturity when playfully teased.

Ye Xuan sulked, grumbling, "What happened to the office? Haven't we done this plenty of times right here? Why the hesitation now?"

"No..."

Su Yumo went limp in Ye Xuan's embrace, her cheeks flushing as she softly replied, "It's mainly because I haven't finished reading this article yet. Can I finish it first?"

"Which article?" Ye Xuan's brow furrowed in confusion.

"It's an article from 'Who Stews Fish Head's' public account," Su Yumo explained. "Their novel is so incredibly good. Every single character possesses such a profound backstory, and they frequently release character spin-offs on their account. They just updated one... and they're even giving out red envelopes to readers!"

Ye Xuan rolled his eyes, a curse directed at that author.

Thanks to that elusive individual, a mysterious recluse perpetually tapping away at their keyboard at home, Ye Xuan had no clue whether they were a man or a woman, nor could he pinpoint their location. If he could, he would have certainly dealt with them!

This situation was seriously impinging upon his private life with Liu Ying!

Ye Xuan muttered, a hint of envy in his tone, "Yumo, I'm feeling jealous right now."

"Jealous?" Su Yumo looked taken aback. "Even if you're feeling jealous, I absolutely have to finish reading this. They're handing out cash red envelopes!"

Ye Xuan's voice sharpened, asking, "Are you absolutely sure about that?"

"I..."

Su Yumo attempted to confirm, but the words caught in her throat as Ye Xuan's teasing had rendered her utterly flustered by his suggestive tone...

"You scoundrel, Ye Xuan, you're truly awful!"

Su Yumo's face burned crimson as she stomped her foot, tossing her phone onto the sofa beside her before preparing to fight back against his advances.

After a considerable amount of time passed, Su Yumo drowsily regained her senses and softly inquired, "Did you lock the door?"

Ye Xuan replied, "It's locked."

Su Yumo's retaliation intensified with renewed vigor.

For the past half a month, while Ye Xuan had been thoroughly enjoying himself, Su Yumo had been left all alone, missing him dearly. This reunion was truly like a drought finally encountering much-needed rain!
