My Breathtaking CEO Wife Novel - Chapter 25

Chapter 25: Chapter 25 – The Mishap in the Cafeteria

Chen Ya Jing was avoiding him, and Li Tian knew the reason for this. It was because he had told her he was married.

Li Tian could understand how she must’ve felt, but it wasn’t the right time to explain himself. Even if it was, he also wouldn’t know what to say.

Just like that, time passed, and it was already noon.

Ever since Li Tian joined the company, this was his first time being in the office during noontime.

Thus, he went to the company’s cafeteria to have lunch.

Qing Cheng International Group had hundreds of employees, so it was normal to have a cafeteria inside the building.

The cafeteria was huge and took up the space of almost half of the floor.

There was a variety of dishes at the cafeteria, and it was packed full of people during lunchtime.

It was free for the employees of the company to eat there and all they needed to do was to show their employee ID cards.

Li Tian had been to many cafeterias before, but Qing Cheng International Group’s cafeteria was the best he’d ever seen.

The cafeteria was modern and had a diner-style design.

Most of the employees at Qing Cheng were young people, so the cafeteria would always be full during lunchtime.

There were beautiful young girls and handsome young men who would go to the cafeteria to have lunch together.

Within the cafeteria, there was one fully enclosed room, which was only to be used by the CEO of the company. Usually, no one else was allowed to enter that room.

Li Tian thought to himself, Su Xiao Yue must’ve been in there before.

The PR department spread itself across three tables. After everyone had gotten their food, they sat down and began to chit-chat whilst enjoying lunch.

Coincidentally, Li Tian ended up in the seat right beside Chen Ya Jing.

Chen Ya Jing didn’t want to make a scene in front of other people, so she could only lower her head while eating her lunch.

However, when they were eating, a man abruptly walked over with a flower in his hand.

Li Tian was confused when he saw that man walking in his direction, but he quickly understood the situation.

“Ya Jing, this is for you. Do you like it?”

That man placed the flower right before Chen Ya Jing’s eyes, so she had no choice but to stop eating and look at him.

Uh…

Li Tian was annoyed, Hey! This is my woman you’re talking to!

It was evident that this man liked Chen Ya Jing, and it wasn’t his first time doing things like this.

Suddenly, the tension in the whole cafeteria became heated.

“It’s the Head of the Department of Advertising! He’s young, rich and handsome… If I were Chen Ya Jing, I would immediately jump into his arms!”

“I know right! Pan Zi Ming is the man of everyone’s dreams. If I remember correctly, this is his fifth time gifting Chen Ya Jing a flower?”

“Yeah, Chen Ya Jing doesn’t know her worth. Why does she keep rejecting Zi Ming when he treats her so well?”

Sure enough, these people weren’t a part of the PR department, as the whole PR department knew that Chen Ya Jing had a boyfriend.

On the other hand, the people from the PR department were giving weird glances to Pan Zi Ming, why is he going after someone who’s already taken?

Chen Ya Jing felt awkward and embarrassed, but when she saw Li Tian’s face, it was as if a lightbulb went off in her head.

Following this, she pushed the flower away and exclaimed, “Mr. Pan, I’m sorry, I already have a boyfriend. I don’t think it would be right to accept your flower.”

Perhaps Pan Zi Ming had already known that Chen Ya Jing had a boyfriend. Isn’t it normal to ask someone if they had a boyfriend before showing interest in them?

Pan Zi Ming was extremely embarrassed by Chen Ya Jing’s blatant rejection. However, he was a man who had a reputation to uphold, how could he possibly take back what he had given away?

“Haha, Ya Jing, this flower doesn’t mean anything. It’s just a small present.”

As they were in front of a huge crowd, Pan Zi Ming couldn’t bring himself to say that he wanted her to choose him over her so-called boyfriend.

He was quite an intelligent man, as he knew that if he had admitted to his true feelings, he would get himself into big trouble.

“Hey… Who are you to call her by her name? Are you guys close?”

Li Tian couldn’t take it any longer as he watched the whole situation unfold. Pan Zi Ming was only a little better looking than him, but Li Tian knew that he wouldn’t be richer. After all, he still had the $500,000 in the card that was given to him by his father in law.

After Li Tian spoke, everyone from the whole PR department, including Chen Ya Jing, was stunned.

This was with the exception of Shu Qing Qing, who was smirking at Li Tian. She was even clenching her two fists as if she was signalling him ‘good luck’.

Pan Zi Ming immediately became unhappy upon hearing Li Tian’s words.

Who is this guy? I’m the head of the department, how dare a mere employee like you interrupt my conversation?

“Who are you?”

“I’m an assistant in the PR department. My name’s Li Tian. Oh yeah, I also forgot to say something, I’m Ya Jing’s boyfriend.”

Li Tian answered his question. At the same time, he wrapped an arm around Chen Ya Jing’s shoulders in a natural manner.

As soon as these words came out of Li Tian’s mouth, everyone in the cafeteria was shocked to the core, especially people in the PR department.

No wonder Li Tian seemed so close to Chen Ya Jing ever since he joined the company. He was actually her boyfriend?

Don’t believe it? Just look at Chen Ya Jing. She isn’t even pushing Li Tian away. If he weren’t her boyfriend, why would she let him touch her?

“Oh, I see, you’re an assistant. I’m Pan Zi Ming, the head of the department of Advertising.”

On the surface, it seemed as though Pan Zi Ming was just introducing himself, but in actuality, he meant, I’m the head of a department, how dare a mere assistant like you try to fight over a girl with me!

“Pan Zi Ming? I’ve never heard of that name.”

“You…”

“Anyways, Ya Jing is my girlfriend, so don’t disturb her anymore. Otherwise, I’ll be annoyed. I’m quite a violent person, so Mr. Pan, I hope you don’t provoke me.”

You’re threatening me? I can do that too.

Li Tian held Chen Ya Jing tightly as he looked straight at Pan Zi Ming.

“You… you…”

At this stage, Pan Zi Ming was boiling on the inside, but he was at a loss for words.

At that moment, someone shouted, “The CEO’s here!”

Suddenly, Pan Zi Ming felt a sense of relief.

“How dare you threaten me? Wait until I report this to the CEO! Let’s see if you’ll be able to keep your job!”
