"I only pretended to be on the same level with you because of Yu Yan but now that the connection is lost, you have no right to speak to me in this manner, your subsidiaries are but the beginning, the next time you call Yu Yan or try the nonsense you did then..." she closed the space between them.

"This time, I won't ask my dear cousin to take only your subsidiaries but the entire group, it might not be easy for him to do but you know he will win in the end, so you better know your place," she felt his grip loosen on her wrist so she snapped her wrist out of his grip then rubbed it.

​​

"Yu Yu," Ji Chen coquettishly called as he entered the office only to meet the tense situation in the office.

He furrowed his brows as soon as he saw Chen Kai but then his gaze fell on his woman rubbing her wrist, he quickly rushed towards her and placed the bag he is holding on her table then held her wrist gently while Chen Kai used the chance to take his leave knowing Ji Chen's temperament especially when it comes to Jia Yu.

His eyes widened at the redness of her wrist then he raised his eyes to meet eyes with worry.

"Why is your wrist this red, did that bastard do this to you?" Without waiting for her answer, he turned around to go after him but Jia Yu held him back.

"Don't, he is not worth it, by the way why are you here and I told you not to call me that at work?" she pouted her lips but he knows she likes it when he calls her that but she always feigns professional at work.

"Alright, my Yu Yu, you never eat breakfast whenever you spend the night at your apartment and not mine so I brought you breakfast," he smiled broadly then opened the bag to bring out the lunchbox.

She swallowed her saliva in anticipation to taste her boyfriend's excellent culinary skills but as soon as he opened it, the delicious aroma found its way into her nostrils.

"Dumplings and sausage casserole with braised pork!" She exclaimed with a faint smile with she quickly hid.

"Don't you think I will get too fat if you keep feeding me so much for breakfast?" she complained even though she doesn't mean it and she will never get tries of her doting boyfriend feeding her.

He smiled inwardly knowing she is just pretending, he dropped the box and picked the braised pork with the chopstick then he brought it to her front.

She opened her mouth then chews the pork with her eyes shut and her taste buds relishing the tantalising taste of the pork.

He wrapped his hands around her waist and pulled her close to him.

"You are too thin, you have to gain a little weight so our children don't turn out to be so thin," she chuckled with her hands over her mouth.

"Hey, why do you keep talking about children, we are not even married yet," she shyly scolded with her eyes averting his but he drew her closer.

"Who said she wants to get married on the same day as Yu Yan and also have her baby on the same day as Yu Yan," he liked the idea of it but the fact that Yu Yan keeps dragging their marriage and even their kids down annoyed him.

"If you don't like it then we can break up now,"

She threatens with a straight face and her hands folded on her chest, although she used to be the one to pursue him, after they started dating he became the one running after her and doting on her.

"I like it, why won't I like it?" He hurriedly responded then the look on his face turned mischievous as he brought her to the edge of the desk.

"Since this doting boyfriend of yours brought you breakfast, don't you think I need a reward?" He asked, pouting his lips with his eyes closed.

She just can't get enough of his cutesy acts.

She wrapped her hands around his neck then raised her toe.

He was expecting to feel her lips on his but it didn't come so he opened his eyes only to see staring at his face up close.

"You have gotten more handsome my cute boyfriend," she smiled then she leaned in to plant several kisses all of his face and lips which he took in with satisfaction.

He returned to his office in rage then folded his hands with his forehead resting on it In thoughts.

{I have never heard she has any cousin other than Han Chen, could it be that Han Chen is the chairman of Han Corporate group}

He quickly dismissed the thought.

if Han Chen is really the chairman then his inferiority complex will hit him hard, not only will he lose his woman to him but it will also mean that Han Chen is someone he has to look up to.

He sprung up from his seat to probe Han Chen when he heard his phone ringing, he stopped to pick the call but he realised it is from an unknown number.

"Hello, am I speaking to Mr Chen ?"

"Yes, who is this?"

"I am calling from the head quarter of Han Corporate group, the managing director would like to have a meeting with you to discuss a partnership offer,"

"Why all of a sudden?" He questioned as he couldn't help but suspect there is something fishy about this sudden partnership.

"This is not something I know, I am just replaying the message to you as I was ordered to,"

He decided to try it out.

"Alright, where do we meet?"

"I will send you address but it would be best if you can meet today, the managing director has a lot on his tab," the tone the caller spoke in sounded rude and demanding as though he wasn't giving him and options but ordering him to meet today.

He clenched his fist and gritted his fist, not only did this person mess with the subsidiaries under his control but he is even ordering them around now.

"Alright,"

He disconnected the call but in less than one minute the address and time was texted to him.

Allthough they have to meet in just one hour, the location is still far away so he handed his surgeries to another surgeon then drove to the meeting location.

He arrived at the cafe where they are supposed to be meeting then scanned the cafe then he saw someone waving his hand so he walked towards the person and took his seat.

"Managing director?"

"Mr Chen?"

Both men smiled faintly then shook hands, unlike his charisma in front of Han Chen he seemed like a different person now, someone who is worthy of leading the company.

He dipped his hand into his office bag then placed a file on the table with his hand gesturing him to read it.

He took the file from the table while the managing director kicked up his coffee to sip with his eyes fixed on him.

He went through the pages of the file with his eyes like that of an eagle scrutinising every single word on the paper.

The terms of partnership seemed to favour Chen group rather than Han Corporate group, this made him more suspicious.

He might be in a dire situation but he is definitely not foolish to get drawn into a tea under the facade of partnership.

"Mr Chen, what do you think of it, your company will take charge of the process and publications while we invest, I am sure you can already see that the profit sharing is favourable to you," the managing director remarked as he was t comfortable with how much time he is spending just to take a look at the file.

"That is the problem, your corporation has investments in the group already but why are you suddenly interested in partnering with us for this project after taking over two of my subsidiaries," he aggressively dropped the file on the table and frowned deeply.

"Taking over your subsidiaries is simply business and offering you this partnership is also business," the managing director responded without a hitch.

"If so then I will like to meet your Chairman, this partnership is a big deal for Chen group as you have already caused us loses and more loses will cause severe problems," he demanded authoritatively despite knowing the managing director has an even higher status than him when it comes to business.

"I can't say I understand your worries, If you are insecure about this deal then I can assure you that no partnership with our company has ever caused loss and this I am sure you are aware of so it is impossible to meet the chairman," he decisively answered making it clear to him that there is no point for negotiation.

He smiled faintly with his head lowered then he stood up from his seat and buttoned his suit jacket.

"If I can't meet your chairman then there is no need to say more,"
