Chapter 21: Standard Definition Vision Never Understands the Beauty of High Definition

Dongfang She pursed his lips in silence, his cold gaze piercing and soul-stirring.

He stared at her silhouette, which seemed somewhat familiar, reminiscent of someone from his memories, yet at the same time, vastly different. In the end, he dismissed it as his own overactive imagination.

How could that woman dare to deliver herself to his doorstep? After the global manhunt back then, she was likely long gone, having jumped into a river in desperation!

Yu Jin kept her head down, her heart thumping wildly. Had he discovered the truth? Could he still remember her as the insignificant shrimp she was back then?

No, that was impossible. Baby had told her that she was completely different now.

Her background had been altered by Charles: a Chinese-American, a graduate of Columbia University, who had lived in the United States and never left.

Even if Dongfang She were suspicious, he would find no hard evidence. She must not lose her composure; stay calm, stay calm...

"Are you really not considering hopping into bed together?"

Dongfang She suddenly arched a brow and let out a low, soft whistle. It was filled with a rogue's charm, an effortless, elegant playfulness that no one could match.

Yu Jin finally breathed a sigh of relief. She turned her face toward him with an expression that could provoke both heaven and man, "That joke isn't funny at all. President Dongfang has a reputation that precedes him, and there are countless women who would love to hop into bed with you. Please, don't bother a lowly assistant like me."

Dongfang She found her words amusing. "Hmm? Jealous?"

"President Dongfang is so dashing and romantic, I really don't dare to pay you such compliments."

Yu Jin felt that Dongfang She’s brain must have been crushed by a door; otherwise, why would he say such things to her?

Jealous? What kind of jealousy would that be? She couldn't avoid him fast enough!

"It seems those with standard vision will never understand the beauty of high definition. Sigh." Dongfang She sighed with such flamboyant affectation that his helplessness was enough to incense both gods and men.

Yu Jin was left completely speechless. She finally understood that Fire’s flamboyant and narcissistic personality was not acquired, but inherited—inherited meticulously from Dongfang She!

"He puts a mosaic over his own face and blames others for not seeing clearly," Yu Jin muttered to herself, not daring to let him hear.

"Alright, off to work with you." Having finished teasing his little assistant, President Dongfang, feeling quite pleased with himself, waved his hand as if dismissing a servant.

Yu Jin fumed. Am I your lapdog?

...

"Hello, Miss Zhou. Wednesday night? I am truly sorry, but the President has a very important meeting that evening. Let's reschedule for another time."

"Hello, Miss Wu. The President has to attend the anniversary celebration of XX Company tonight and cannot accompany you."

"Hello, Miss XX..."

Yu Jin spent the entire morning maneuvering among these socialites and ladies, using all sorts of excuses to fend off Dongfang She’s unwanted romantic entanglements. By noon, she was completely exhausted and didn't want to say another word.

"Assistant Yu, would you do me the honor of having lunch together?" Dongfang She walked over, his pleasant cologne mingling with his distinct masculine scent, drifting into her nose. Yu Jin looked up with a smile, her expression treacherous and calculating, "Since the President is so prone to attracting bees and butterflies, I wouldn't want to become the target of everyone's ire."

Are you kidding? Facing that magnificent, infuriatingly handsome face of Dongfang She, could she even think about eating? Could she even have an appetite?!

"..." Unappreciative and in need of discipline! Dongfang She narrowed his green eyes and glanced at the files on her desk, already forming a plan in his mind.

At noon, Yu Jin had only a light snack. Exhausted, she slumped over her desk, just wanting to steal a moment of sleep, when a loud "bang" jolted her wide awake instantly.

"Special Assistant Qin!"

Qin Ye, expressionless, slammed a thick stack of files onto her desk. "Organize these documents before you get off work. There must be no errors. Do you understand?"
