Li Shengxia, on the other hand, was feeding Mo Nianchen’s his breakfast with utmost reluctance.
He turned toward her to receive the thin pancake but he deliberately dodged it by a slight angle. The food fell from his mouth and landed on the woman’s breasts.
She was about to flick it away when he speedily lowered his head to pick up the food with his lips. He savoured it for a few seconds before swallowing.
Startled, her cheeks were blushing with embarrassment but she quickly regained her composure. “Mo Nianchen, are you crazy?” she shouted.
This person was already behaving strangely early in the morning. There were people around! She felt so ashamed she wished she would just vanish right this instant.
“Did I ask you to cut them into such big pieces?” The delighted man questioned with his eyebrows raised.
“…” She had no choice but to slice that thin pancake into several smaller pieces before shoving them into his mouth.
“Stupid woman, watch yourself!”
“So demanding!” she grumbled.
“I dare you to say that again?” His low voice was reeked of intimidation.
She said aloud, “I said the morning sun feels amazing!”
“…”
Clueless Servant One mumbled, “These two are passionate in the early morning.”
Clueless Servant Two mumbled, “The crown prince and crown princess are so in love…”
The corners of her lips twitched as she thought to herself, ‘How is this in love?’ Her cold stare at the man was returned with a nonchalant reply. “You’ve been staring at me the whole morning. You do realize it’s time for work?”
“Ah, d*mn it…” Flustered, the woman even forgot to criticize the arrogant man. “I’m off to work.”
Unexpectedly, he rose to his feet. “I’ll drop you off.”
“Don’t worry about it,” she refused right away for fear to be seen together at the workplace.
“We’re heading in the same direction.” The determination was audible in his voice.
She shook her head. “It’s alright.”
“Are you afraid?”
“Of what?” She felt slightly uneasy.
The corners of his lips curled into an enigmatic smile. “Relax, publicizing our relationship will not do me any good. Get into my car. Don’t make me say it for the third time!”
It was as if he could read her mind! She was worried about being seen in his car by the colleagues because she did not want to be associated with him.
He probably agreed with her thinking as well. After all, he was the haughty crown prince!
She entered the car quietly.
Upon seeing the bandage around his palm, she asked from the back seat, “Can you still drive now that your hand is injured?”
“Are you starting to care for me?”
“I’m just worried about my own safety.”
“How bad can it be? Even if something happens, you’ll be dead by the side of an elegant crown prince.” An enigmatic smile flashed across his face.
“No, thanks. I’d love to enjoy more fresh air!”
“Should I move to the back seat to join you for morning exercise?” he asked, raising an eyebrow suggestively.
“Shameless,” she complained with a frown, “Start driving already!”
He stepped on the accelerator before her voice trailed off and sped off into the distance…
Soon, the car tires screech without warning…
“Mo Nianchen, are you driving or trying to murder?!”
She held onto the handle firmly for dear life but that did not stop her head from spinning.
The woman knew he did that deliberately but seriously? Such a childish, shameless rascal!
“Please, I made a mistake, alright? Drive slower!” She was forced to give in.
He finally drove the car steadily.
She cursed him incessantly in her mind.
They were finally approaching the company…
The car pulled to a halt.
“I’ll pick you up at night,” he simply said.
“It’s alright,” she replied, “I can get back myself.” She still felt slightly dizzy while trying to exit the car.
“I’ll be waiting in the company’s VIP car park,” he replied nonetheless, completely disregarding her rejection.
“…”
It was exhausting trying to communicate with this man!!

Emperor Heritage Group Fashion Design Headquarters.
Design department.
This was one of the best departments of the Emperor Heritage Group. Numerous elites impeccable in terms of taste, design, experience, and qualifications worked here.
Upon learning about the news of a newcomer, members of the design department instinctively assumed the person was either an international-recognized designer or at least a graduate of a top-grade international university. They were astonished to find the young girl in her early twenties walking in thus they naturally looked down upon Li Shengxia immediately.
Why was this young girl without an impressive resume or work experience qualified to work along them? She must have been offered the job through personal connections.
Design Department Manager, Willis, introduced the woman to the team enthusiastically. “This is Li Shengxia, the new member to our design department. Please welcome her with a round of applause.”
This woman was specifically assigned by the crown prince himself. The manager was confused as to why she was able to work along the brilliant minds of the design team given her average resume, not to mention the role came with a munificent salary.
He figured this woman must be in an unusual relationship with the crown prince. This was the first time the crown prince specifically instructed him to take good care of a newcomer. Due to this reason, the manager dared not neglect her needs or demands in any way.
However, the rest of the design team did not think so! There was no applause to welcome the newcomer but a heavy silence filled the room instead. It was evident they were all giving her scornful looks.
The woman was extremely embarrassed. She was well-informed about the outstanding accomplishments from the Emperor Heritage Group’s fashion design team. Each and every one of them was the cream of the industry thus it was natural that she would be given the cold shoulder.
Although her performance in school had always been brilliant and she had spent some time pursuing further studies abroad, she had to return to her home country before graduation due to the deteriorating condition back home with his bedridden father.
Her alma mater was not the most prestigious and she did not specialize in design either. Despite having completed the course on her own without attending formal in-class lessons, her resume was indeed not too impressive.
Moreover, she had been occupied by the financial troubles of her father’s company thus she had almost zero proper corporate experience.
It was fair to call her a layman in design. Not to mention this group of bright minds, perhaps an average designing company would also think twice before accepting her.
“Pleasure to meet everyone here, I’m Li Shengxia. Look forward to working with you!”
Another awkward silence.
Willis finally spoke. “Shengxia will be part of the team starting from today. Alright, there are six of us in this department altogether. Apart from us two, we have Jian Dan, Pianpian, Tan Qing, and Ling Yarang. They’re all incredibly talented thus you must take the opportunity to learn from them. Your desk is the one next to the window on the fourth row.”
“Thanks, Manager. Can I know what is within my job scope?”
