"Director Xiang, what are your thoughts about the current condition of thepany?" Yu Mei walked to the swivel chair as she took a seat, a calctive smile tugging at the corner of her lips.


    Director Xiang was initially stumped at the question. He could not think what she wanted to know and what should be the proper way to respond to this somewhat bizarre question.


    As something clicked in his mind, he opened his mouth, "During President''s disappearance, there were indeed some issues," The old man''s calm and happy tone from earlier had switched back to his usual professional one as he addressed her as ''President'' instead of calling herss.


    The corner of her lips tugged up, "Do borate," Interest shed in her eyes.


    The old man was confused but he sighed before continuing, "During your absence, thepany was in chaos even though to the public, Rosette appeared to be perfectly fine. There were inner conflicts."


    The entire power in Rosette was in CEO''s hands. Even all the shareholdersbined barely possessed 14 percent shares and hence her sudden disappearance made it unable for any of them to decide on her part.


    So when the media and rivalpanies started questioning Yu Mei''s absence, things took a dip.


    The scene was chaotic.


    Now that he thought about it, his memories took him back to the fat and dumpling-like girl whom he met in the elevator, whoter imed to be their CEO''s disciple.


    She was their only hope.


    Little did he know that she was their CEO herself.


    He was shocked to know that their CEO was suffering from some strange disease which caused her to be like that.


    Luckily, she has recovered and is all right now.


    Yu Mei nced at the man who was lost in his thoughts. She propped both her elbows on the table and ced her chin on her palm, "What about now?"


    It has to be said that before she died, she barely discussed things regarding thepany with anyone other than the Vice President.


    But at this moment, she was inclined to share her thoughts with Director Xiang perhaps because of the trust she had in him for a long time.


    Director Xiang snapped out of his thoughts as he nced at her, "After your appearance, everything seems calm."


    "Like a calm before a storm?" She moved back and lifted the paperweight in her hand, her eyes gradually darkened, "Director Xiang, something is amiss with thepany," She nced at him only to find him in shock.


    "What do you mean by that, President?"


    "What I mean is during my absence, arge amount of funds seemed to have disappeared into thin air but they were meticulously hidden in the records," A sharp glint shed across her eyes.


    Director Xiang was stunned.


    By the time Yu Mei drove over to Ren Mansion, she found the ce eerily quiet.


    There was nothing wrong with it given that Steward Gu was sent to Shanghai for some work-rted matters while the rest of the servants were dismissed by Yu Mei.


    But she saw Jun Zixuan''s car outside.


    Just as she was about to ascend the staircase, a heavenly scent lingered near her nose.


    She threw away her bag on the couch before drifting towards the kitchen.


    She leaned on the doorway looking at the man who was engrossed in cooking.


    "You''re back?" He asked without raising his head.


    She raised an eyebrow, "What do you think?"


    Jun Zixuan tilted his head to look at her. He observed her face quietly for a few seconds.


    She stepped inside the kitchen before sliding up to the kitchen counter.


    "What''s wrong?" He asked after a few seconds.


    She swung her leg back and forth as she nced at him, "How do you know something is wrong?"


    "Because my IQ is higher than pandas?" He asked with a straight face as he busied himself with cooking.


    "_"


    <i>Fine, you have a high IQ.</i>


    But...


    She frowned, "You... Are you craving a fight?"


    He raised an eyebrow, "I don''t have peculiar preferences like you."


    The corner of her lips twitched and she rolled her eyes at him.


    He chuckled, "Tell me, is there something wrong?"


    "Just a few matters in thepany..." She fell quiet as she thought about it.


    Jun Zixuan tilted his head to look at her. Business and designing were her forte. Even when he did not know that Han Mei''s English name was Leanne and that she was the CEO of Rosette, he admired her quite a bit. For someone to get the luxury brand into the international market within a month, she was pretty capable.


    And even after he came to know about her identity, he rarely saw her frowning for work-rted matters.


    She was extremely meticulous in her work then... "Do you need my help?" He asked.


    "No," she shook her head without thinking much.


    His eyes darkened.


    Noticing the change in his expressions, sheughed, "Don''t think too much. If I have to rely on you with everything, I might as well be a national treasure and sleep all day..." As his expressions looked slightly better, she sighed, "..Leave these things to me. If I need, I will tell you."


    Be it as best friends like before or a couple like now, she did not have many restraints towards him.


    She believed they could tell each other anything and rely on each other at any time.


    It was just that...things that she could handle well, she didn''t want to trouble him with it.


    He picked up a fork before taking a piece of meat. After blowing on it, he brought it to her mouth, "Open your mouth."


    "Umm..." She moaned in delight as soon as juicy meet slipped on her tongue.


    To be honest, after baking a cake for him on his birthday, she believed that cooking was not that tough as long as one was a bit careful to not burn the kitchen.


    Since the cake was good, she could also give some talent in this section. It was just that she was addicted to the food he made and now, even the food made by most Michelin Chefs was not able to satiate her stomach and stimte her taste buds.


    She tried to get the fork from his hand, "I will feed you too," But he retracted his hand.


    He turned off the gas and stepped towards her.


    Hooking his hands around her neck, he stood between her legs. A mischievous glint danced in his eyes, "There are much better ways of feeding me," His lips lingered on hers for a few seconds.


    And she felt like she was sitting on thorns.


    When she could not take it anymore, she grabbed his cor and pulled him down for a kiss, catching him off guard in a moment.


    Her lips moved on his slowly, gradually increasing the intensity.


    Jun Zixuan quickly snapped back to his senses and suddenly the reign was in his control. He kissed her roughly until she was breathless and her lips were swollen.


    Looking at her enticing lips and dazed eyes, he could not help but kiss her slowly and gently this time, devouring the taste of the food off her mouth. More than it, her sweetness that was spreading inside his mouth!


    She slowly moved her mouth on his and kissed him back.


    As he broke the kiss, he pulled back from her and pressed an index finger below her chin before raising her face, "It was tasty!" He licked his lips, slowly and seductively.


    And she gulped. "Is it, huh?" Looking at the erection beneath through theyers of clothes, she ced a finger on his chest and slowly pushed him back, "Mr. Jun needs a good amount of self-control," She cleared her throat as she jumped off the cab, "Moreover, we have some things to discuss first."
