Jianyu looked at her dryly. “Can you get down? Think about your image.”
“Oof! My ice princess is so cute.” Serena teased.
His face darkened.
“Princess?” He gritted his teeth. “I helped you today. But here you are mocking me. You should be thinking of how to repay my kindness.”
Serena laughed. “Alright, sorry, sorry. Tell me, how should I repay you?”
She acted coquettishly. “Should I offer myself to you tonight? See, it’s a nice excuse. Let’s break the barriers once and for all.”
A vein popped on his forehead. He swore if he didn’t get away from her, then he would surely flip out in rage. “Get down!”
But Serena didn’t wish to. She hugged him tighter. “Ah, I’m so tired. I was tirelessly working on my designs these past days, but that b*tch ruined everything, and thanks to her, I had to redo it in only thirty minutes!” she said with a sour face remembering how her hard work was ruined. “So now I’m utterly exhausted. Please piggyback me home.”
He did feel a little pitiful for a moment. Since they were living together, he had seen her working late at night on multiple occasions.
“Your hands should be tired, your legs must be fine. Walk on your own.” He snorted.
“By the way, I’m impressed. You managed to impress Da- I mean CEO Chen. It’s not easy to get in his good books.”
“Eh? How do you know? Have you met him before?”
Jianyu coughed. “No, I mean, I have heard about his reputation. He is hard to please. Even I was shocked when he patted your head and said, ‘Good Job.’ He is a very silent person.”
Who can know better than him?
Chen Guiren really doesn’t like to talk. He only ever does so with Mother Chen and Jianyu and sometimes just a little with the Liu family.
He could practically see Serena’s nose grow longer in pride.
He asked curiously. “How did you manage to finish the designs in only thirty minutes? Back at home, you would need hours to finish one.”
Serena said, “It’s because I practice every day to improve my speed so that I finish my designs quickly. I thought I could use it as my selling point to impress more clients in the future, that not only can I make the best designs but the fastest too. So…” she smiled meaningfully at him. “Sometimes late at night, I just practice instead of working on a project, when you silently leave coffee for me.”
Jianyu’s brow twitched just for a moment but remained calm. “What do you mean?”
“Don’t try to deny it. You always make coffee for me and quietly leave on the kitchen table.”
“Hmph. That is the score I want to settle with you. I have the habit of drinking coffee late at night. But you always snatch it away from me. I just go away for a minute, and when I come back, I find the table empty. I thought I would look cheap, so I never said anything.”
Liar, she thought.
There was a smile lit on her face.
“You are such a tsundere.”
He frowned. “Who is a tsundere?”
She chuckled. “It’s a type of personality where the person behaves coldly on the outside but is actually friendly and warm on the inside.”
Jianyu felt embarrassed. “I’m not like that!”
“Yes, yes, whatever you say.”
Just then, her arch-nemesis, Yao Luli, spotted them. She was dumbfounded, seeing them in that position. Once again, her jealousy soared high, looking her so close with such a handsome and dashing man.
It was evident that she cried a lot. Her eyes were red and puffy. She glared at Serena in hatred.
I was humiliated because of you! I will see for how long will you laugh like that.
Serena saw Yao Luli coming towards them.
Oh God, not again, this headache!
Yao Luli sweetly smiled at them, especially a little more at Jianyu. But he didn’t even spare a glance at her.
“It’s good that I met you here, Serena.” She pursed her lips. “I want to apologize once again for what happened before. This man made me realize that, indeed, how hypocritical I might have sounded. I truly realize my mistake now.”
Yeah, and I’m the Prime Minister of China. Serena rolled her eyes inwardly.
She knew that this damn woman just wanted to impress Jianyu by coming forward herself to apologize to Serena.
“I will try hard in this one month of suspension to become even a better designer than before. I hope we can set aside our differences and work together in the future sometime.”
She just hummed.
Yao Luli was seething in anger, watching her attitude.
Once I come back, let’s see how arrogant you can be! Enjoy while you can!
But she maintained her poise.
“By the way, you didn’t introduce this man before. Who is he?” She looked at Jianyu with eyes full of appreciation.
Even though he was the main reason that she was disgraced in front of the whole company and, more importantly, Chen Guiren, she still couldn’t help but admire him. It was hard not to. She was dreamily looking at him.

Serena felt a little uncomfortable with her gaze. Naturally, she understood that she is crushing on Jianyu. Frankly, it was not a surprise to her considering his looks and demeanor, but she didn’t like it all. It felt like she was hawking on something that was hers.
Hey, look away from you b*tch! How dare you have any ideas about him!?
But then she smirked. “Well, he is my boyfriend.”
Jianyu slightly widened his eyes, but he quickly regained his composure. Otherwise, his reaction could give Serena away.
Serena wasn’t looking at him, but she could feel the sharp, silent death glares aimed at her.
She pretended not to see them.
“I-I see…” It took a lot of effort for Yao Luli not to crack her smile. She had a hunch about their relationship, but still couldn’t help but get angry that that was indeed true.
Serena possessively hugged him from the back. “You see, he dotes on me a lot.” She sighed. “So much that I have to stop him from spoiling me rotten. Like even now, he urged to piggyback me home because I was so tired with the designs. I told him that my hands are tired; my legs are just fine. I can walk on my own.”
Jianyu had this vehement urge to twitch his mouth, but he controlled himself.
She shook her head. “But he just wasn’t ready to listen.” She pouted. “He threatened me saying that if I don’t listen to him, then I will have to suffer the consequences…” She blushed and shyly said. “in bed. You know, he becomes a little rough.”
Jianyu wanted to puke blood.
That was critical damage to Yao Luli.
Somehow, she felt disgusted listening to Serena.
“Right, darling?” Serena cutely asked, tilting her head.
Jianyu wanted to smack her hard on the head.
He smiled. “En.”
Serena smiled provokingly at her. “See? He loves me so much. I can’t tell you just how many women have tried to seduce my boyfriend. Some have even tried to create misunderstandings between us so that we break up. After all, he is such a gem. Which woman wouldn’t want him?”
Yao Luli stiffened.
How can she admit that she has similar thoughts too?
“So, you know what I did?”
“W-what?”
“Hmph! I dragged them in front of their family and friends and slapped them left and right on their cheeks until they got swollen in red.”
Yao Luli nervously gulped.
“I slapped and beat and kicked them hard until they confessed that they tried to seduce my boyfriend and selfishly wanted him for themselves.”
“Right…they deserved it.” She was feeling very much uncomfortable. She couldn’t help but imagine herself getting beaten up by Serena. She shuddered at the thought of it.
Serena exclaimed. “Didn’t they? After the truth came out, everybody shunned those women. They were labeled as a shameless, third party, home wreckers, and what not. They practically cannot show their faces to anybody now. Some even throw rotten tomatoes and eggs at them if they are spotted outside.”
“Right, darling?”
“En.” Jianyu internally sighed.
Yao Luli couldn’t take it anymore and quickly said, wanting to get away. “I think I should leave Serena. I have somewhere I have to be now.”
“Oh, okay!” Serena gave a polite smile.
When she was out of sight, Jianyu rolled his eyes.
“You are such a drama queen.”
“Hey! You should thank me. I helped you in getting rid of such an annoying pest. Clearly, she was attracted to you. It’s better to extinguish any hopes before they take root.”
Somewhere, Serena also felt a little ease after shooing her off.
This would better open her eyes, so she stays away from Jianyu!
“Alright, captain! Off to our home! Start the ride.”
“What? I have to seriously piggyback you all the way back?”
“It’s not much distance, plus the supermarket is on the way. We can buy some groceries too. I will prepare a delicious feast tonight as my thank you!”
“Are you sure it will be edible?” He looked doubtful.
She pinched him hard.
“Ouch!”
She proudly said, “Yes, it will be. I have learned some dishes from my best friend.”
Jianyu conceded. “Hm. Alright.”
They went off, and from a distance, a window rolled down.
Chen Guiren saw them walking away, chatting, and laughing.
He faintly smiled and said to the driver. “Let’s go.”
