Shang Sheng lay down beside her, his tone indifferent, "See for yourself."
In her hand was a pair of earrings, with two yellow diamonds, neither too large nor too small, above and below, connected by colorless diamonds in between.
Before she could feel happy, she remembered what Xia Lanqing had said. Qin Yige said in a low voice, "Don't buy me jewelry anymore."
"Don't you like them?"
He had clearly seen the surprise in her eyes just now.
"No, it's not that. My mom will scold me, saying I'm too extravagant. You've already bought me so much jewelry." Her voice was a little hoarse.
"It's not much." How many sets did she have? It was still far from the number of jewelry sets his mother owned.
He had seen these earrings in a shop window by chance and thought they suited her, so he bought them.
Qin Yige wanted to try them on to see how they looked, but unfortunately, she was too weak to get out of bed.
She clutched the earrings and finally fell asleep in a daze.
Shang Sheng found her childish behavior quite helpless. He gently took the earrings from her hand and placed them on the nearby table. Then he held her and closed his eyes.
The next morning, after finishing her work at the studio, Qin Yige went to EK to find Shang Sheng.
She didn't want to go either, but Xia Lanqing had made a pot of soup, saying that Shang Sheng must have been in a bad mood last night and she should care for him more. She insisted that Qin Yige deliver it to him.
Qin Yige pouted. He was in a very good mood, showering her with terms of endearment like "wife" and "darling" to coax her.
As for her, she was shamelessly captivated, her ears feeling pregnant before her belly.
Finally, he produced a pair of beautiful earrings, and the style suited her perfectly. She completely lost her temper.
As noon approached, employees were walking out, but Qin Yige was walking in.
Today, to match the earrings, she had specifically chosen a dress with white and yellow stitching. Her hair was pulled up on her head, and she wore black high-top lace-up leather shoes, giving her a simple yet cool look.
She carried the pot of soup and exchanged greetings with many employees.
Fearing that everyone would think she was trying to curry favor with Shang Sheng, she walked quickly. If it weren't for maintaining her image, she would have run through the company.
Finally reaching the elevator lobby, she casually entered one of the elevators.
The elevator ascended and stopped halfway at the 15th floor.
Before the elevator doors opened, several voices could be heard.
"Secretary Chen is so pitiful. She followed President Shang for years, only to be transferred because of Mrs. Shang."
"I didn't expect Qin Yige to be so capable. Just looking at her, I thought she was just a naive little princess."
"Heh, little princess? Didn't you see how she slapped Secretary Chen so hard last time that her face was almost disfigured?"
"How scary. How could such a woman be worthy of our President Shang?"
The elevator doors slowly opened, and a delicate face came into their sight.
The few women found the woman in the elevator somewhat familiar but couldn't recall who she was for a moment.
However, just as they were about to enter the elevator, the woman inside took two steps forward, blocking their path.
Meeting her icy gaze, one woman asked, "What are you doing?"
Qin Yige ignored her question and moved forward step by step, forcing them to retreat.
"Hey, I said you—" The next moment, the female employee suddenly remembered who she was, covering her mouth in shock, preventing herself from screaming.
The female employee tugged at her colleague's clothes and said with downcast eyes, "Mrs. Shang!"
Mrs. Shang?
Qin Yige??
Several people gasped, their expressions priceless.
To be so unlucky! Caught red-handed while badmouthing someone.
"You still know I'm Mrs. Shang?" Qin Yige asked coldly.
The female employee gave an awkward smile, "Sorry, Mrs. Shang."
At this moment, a few employees passing by, who intended to enter the elevator, heard that Mrs. Shang had arrived and dared not.
Qin Yige touched the diamond ring on her finger and said faintly, "I've long heard that I'm famous at EK."
Of course, it wasn't just because she was Mrs. Shang, but also because she had hit Chen Ling, making her infamous.
The few people forced awkward smiles, and no one spoke.
Qin Yige felt that if she explained today that she had a reason for hitting someone, no one would believe her, and it would only make her seem pathetic.
In that case, she might as well confront them head-on. She'd be the villain to the end.
"Didn't you see the bloody handprint on Chen Ling's face?" she asked sternly, straightening her back, exuding an imposing aura.
"We saw it..."
"Yes, it was me who hit her!" she admitted generously.
The female employees were so scared they lowered their heads and dared not say another word.
"Even if I, Qin Yige, am terrible, I am now your President Shang's wife. How can you gossip about me behind my back?" She was really infuriated. Chen Ling had ruined her reputation.
"I'm sorry, Mrs. Shang." The female employees began to apologize one after another.
"You don't need to apologize to me. I just want to tell you that if I ever hear anyone discussing me again, it will be openly opposing me, Qin Yige! Those who dare to oppose me will all taste the sting of a slap!"
As soon as she finished speaking, the entire 15th floor fell silent.
"Endure it if you're not convinced! As long as I, Qin Yige, am Mrs. Shang for one day, I will not allow you to say anything bad about me! I am not Shang Sheng; I don't have his magnanimity and vision. I have lawyers advising me. As adults, you are responsible for every word you say!"
"Sorry, sorry." Apologies erupted.
Finally, Qin Yige clarified her actions. "It takes two to clap. Chen Ling deserved to be hit. She is indeed a good employee, but that doesn't mean she is a good woman in private! This is a private matter between her and me, and it has nothing to do with any of you. Don't discuss it word by word from now on!"
"Yes, yes, Mrs. Shang!"
After speaking, Qin Yige turned and entered the elevator.
As soon as the elevator ascended to the 16th floor, the place erupted.
"How is Qin Yige so formidable? Wasn't she said to be just a silly little princess?"
"It's over, it's over. She'll definitely complain to President Shang. Will we be fired?"
"I don't know. All I know now is that Secretary Chen deceived us."
Just as Qin Yige had said, it takes two to clap. Why did Qin Yige only hit Chen Ling and not others? There must have been a reason.
The female colleagues below were anxious, while Qin Yige arrived at the president's floor with the pot of soup.
She walked with purpose. As she passed the secretarial area, her eyes were fixed straight ahead, and she instructed without stopping, "Secretary Chen, bring in a set of cutlery!"
Secretary Chen suppressed her annoyance. "Okay."
The office door was pushed open from the outside. Qin Yige entered with a killer aura.
Shang Sheng easily sensed it but didn't know why.
Qin Yige placed the thermos on his desk. "Soup. Your mother said you've been working too hard and asked me to bring it over!"
"My mother?"
"Yes, Ms. Xia!"
Shang Sheng: "..."
Chen Ling walked in carrying a tray. "Madam, here is the cutlery you requested."
Qin Yige took the spoon from the tray and gave Shang Sheng a smile that didn't reach her eyes. "Honey, you worked hard last night. I'll feed you the soup."
"No need to trouble you, Madam. I..."
