Chapter 89: The Substitute
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
It was time to knock off.
As Cheng Anya was working on a document she was about to complete, she received a call from a supermodel, Li Li, who wanted to invite Ye Chen for dinner.
Li Li was the woman whom Cheng Anya resented the most. She was arrogant, bad-tempered and pampered. She spoke as though she commanded people, and that left people feeling annoyed.
She was especially hostile toward Ye Chen’s secretaries. Every time she called, she sounded unfriendly.
Cheng Anya was very puzzled. Was Third Young Master Ye really so desperate?
So desperate that he was willing to put up with someone of such temperament?
As Ye Chen had no other commitments that evening and Cheng Anya could not quite accurately guess how he was feeling, she transferred Li Li’s call to him.
As Liu Xiaotian’s workday came to an end, she saw Cheng Anya pout. Covering her smile, she asked, “Supermodel Li Li really hates you now. Every time you finish picking up her call, she sounds very angry. Lucky for you, you just pout.”
“Hey, Ye Chen’s looks…” Cheng Anya whispered. “I cannot be sure.”
Liu Xiaotian held her chin and flipped open a magazine. The magazine listed several women whom Ye Chen had dated, which included his actual girlfriend, Yun Ruoxi. “Look at this. Do you notice anything?”
Cheng Anya’s eyes swept over and she flipped a few pages. Ye Chen’s taste for women was a little weird. The women he preferred looked demure, whether they were from well-to-do families or just girls next door.
And this included Li Li. Whatever one said about her temper, she was very good-looking.
She thought Ye Chen had a thing for sexy women.
‘Hey, he sure is a person who prefers demure girls!’ Cheng Anya thought.
“Look, they are very demure and have very similar eyes,” Liu Xiaotian said in a gossiping tone as she teasingly nudged Anya’s shoulder. “We are secretly guessing that Ye Chen is looking for a much superior substitute.”
Cheng Anya was surprised. As she turned to laugh, she said, “It must have been a coincidence, Xiaotian. Which beautiful woman has eyes that are not beautiful?”
While that statement was not wrong, closer observation showed some similarities between the women’s gazes.
“What a coincidence! It is true! We have studied it and even Li Li thinks so as well. Li Li’s husband has known Ye Chen for a long time, and hearsay has it that Ye Chen used to like sexy women. He must have had someone in his heart but couldn’t win that person’s heart. Hence, he is looking around for a substitute,” Liu Xiaotian said with a hint of mystery.
“Your imagination is too vivid.”
