Keeping the promise

Chapter 120 Private

Li Yunting bent down carefully and gently picked up Zheng Wancheng.

Zheng Wancheng was vaguely aware of someone picking her up in her sleep. She opened her eyes slightly and saw that it was her husband Li Yunting. A relieved smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, and she leaned into his arms again and continued to fall into a deep sleep.

Li Yunting held her in his arms and tried to keep his steps steady, for fear of waking up the person in his arms.

However, just as they were walking out of the company, an employee who was about to go home passed by in a corner and saw this scene.

The employee was startled and immediately had gossipy thoughts. He secretly took out his cell phone and quickly pressed the shutter to take a photo of Li Yunting holding Zheng Wancheng.

The next day, the company was busy as usual. Suddenly, a piece of gossip about Li Yunting exploded in the company. The secretly taken photo was spread to every corner of the company, and the employees started to discuss it privately.

"Look, does this look like CEO Li and Special Assistant Zheng?"

"Oh my, what's going on? Is Boss Li really with her?"

"No way, maybe it's a misunderstanding."

"There's no misunderstanding. The photos are all here."

"Assistant Zheng is still amazing!"

Speculations and rumors intensified, and even reached the ears of other partner companies. The company's management was also alarmed and approached Li Yunting to inquire about the situation.

When Li Yunting heard the news, his face was terribly gloomy. He immediately summoned relevant personnel and asked them to thoroughly investigate the matter and find out who took the photos secretly and spread the rumors.

At the same time, he was also worried that this news would have a bad impact on Zheng Wancheng, and he felt full of guilt.

After Zheng Wancheng arrived at the company, he was also confused by the strange looks and whispers from his colleagues.

When she learned the whole story, she was angry and helpless. On the one hand, she believed that Li Yunting could handle the matter, and on the other hand, she decided to face this sudden storm with Li Yunting.

The employee who took the photos secretly was filled with panic and regret. He realized that his momentary impulse might bring great trouble to the company and his colleagues, and he didn't know how to end it.

As soon as Zheng Wancheng walked into the rest area, she felt that something was wrong with the atmosphere. Several female employees who were jealous of her gathered together and immediately surrounded her when they saw her.

One of the female employees said sarcastically, "Hey, isn't this Special Assistant Zheng? He relied on his relationship with President Li to get to the top. He's really resourceful."

Another female employee then echoed, "That's right, I don't know what kind of seductive skills she used to make CEO Li pay so much attention to her."

When Zheng Wancheng heard these unpleasant words, her face instantly darkened. She looked at the female employees coldly and said, "Keep your mouths clean! If you don't want your tongue anymore, just gossip."

"Hmph, the photos have been spread everywhere, and you're still pretending to be innocent." A sarcastic female employee said with a pout.

Zheng Wancheng glared at him and raised his voice to retort, "What's wrong with that photo? Why do you care about the relationship between Mr. Li and me? You are the ones with bad intentions, thinking about framing others all day long. You might as well spend more time improving your own work abilities!"

"You...don't be so arrogant!" One of the female employees was intimidated by Zheng Wancheng's aura, but still spoke stubbornly.

Zheng Wancheng did not back down and continued, "I am arrogant? You are the ones who are making trouble out of nothing and slandering me maliciously. I have a clear conscience and am not afraid of your nonsense. But you are so narrow-minded and can't stand others doing well. You will not have any great future in this company!"

These female employees were speechless after being rebuked by Zheng Wancheng. Their faces turned pale and blue and they dispersed in shame.

Zheng Wancheng took a deep breath, calmed herself down, and walked towards her work station with her head held high. She knew that only strength and achievements could truly shut these people up.

Zheng Wancheng returned to her workstation, trying to calm down and continue to work hard. But the scene of being embarrassed by those female employees during the day always appeared in her mind from time to time, making her feel angry.

Finally, it was time to get off work. Zheng Wancheng didn't want to stay in the company any longer, so he hurriedly packed up and went home.

Li Yunting had been waiting at home for a long time. When he saw Zheng Wancheng coming back, he smiled and went to give her a hug. However, Zheng Wancheng pushed him away and sat on the sofa angrily.

Li Yunting looked puzzled and asked with concern: "Wife, what's wrong? Why are you so angry?"

Zheng Wancheng glared at him and said, "It's all because of you! Today at the company, because of our relationship, a few girls bullied me and said those nasty things to me! You really have great luck with women!"

Li Yunting frowned, and said distressed and angrily: "Don't be angry, I will take care of it. What peach blossom luck, I only like my wife."

Zheng Wancheng snorted and said, "Deal with it? I'm unhappy now, you have to compensate me!" As she said that, she reached out to tickle Li Yunting.

Li Yunting dodged with a smile, and the two of them made a mess on the sofa.

After a while, Zheng Wancheng felt a little better. She leaned in Li Yunting's arms and said aggrievedly: "You can only be mine."

Li Yunting hugged her tightly and promised solemnly: "Don't worry, it's private."
