Chapter 427: Chapter 427: Outsider

Their gazes crossed in the air at the first moment.

Jiang Wan Ning smiled at her.

Whether it was Wen Ran overthinking or what, she only felt that the smile was filled with the provocation of a victor.

Jiang Wan Ning got into the elevator and stood next to Fu Chenlie, looking up at him: "Ah Lie, the cooperation matter has been settled, President Li will come over tomorrow to sign the contract, should it be signed in the meeting room or your office?"

"Office."

"Okay, I’ll inform President Li."

"Thank you."

"It’s my duty."

Listening to their conversation, Wen Ran only felt like a complete outsider.

Her husband and his ex-girlfriend stood side by side, discussing work matters, so in harmony, so cooperative, with shared understanding about the collaboration content, which she, as his wife, knew nothing about.

Only at this moment did Wen Ran realize —

Fu Chenlie not only gave Jiang Wan Ning a managerial-level position in Fu Group but also granted her the privilege of using the president’s private elevator.

This favoritism was so blatant; what was she supposed to use to compete or fight for?!

Sourness surged in Wen Ran’s heart.

Jiang Wan Ning’s voice continued: "Ah Lie, I’m going to find my friend. I heard from her that the place where you and Ms. Wen are living is on the way to the house she rented, could you give me a ride?"

Upon hearing this, her peripheral vision unconsciously glanced backward.

Only to see the man unhesitatingly say "Mm," as if agreeing.

Wen Ran twitched the corner of her mouth.

Adding one more person to the ride on the way home from work, she, as the driver, was certainly being used to the fullest.

Ding—

The elevator arrived at the underground parking lot.

As the elevator doors opened, Wen Ran stepped out immediately, her pace quickened obviously to distance herself from the two.

Fu Chenlie noticed her peculiarity and strode after her; "Why are you walking so fast?"

"Hungry, hurrying home to eat."

"I’ll drive."

Upon hearing this, she turned her head to look at him: "No need, I’m the driver, my only purpose is to drive, if I can’t even do this well, why would Fu Group employ me and pay me a salary for nothing?"

With those words, Wen Ran headed straight for the driver’s seat.

The man’s legs were long, he caught up in a few steps and held her wrist before she could open the car door: "Wen Ran, as your boss, I command you to sit in the car."

She met his gaze with a stubborn look that was particularly distinct.

Fu Chenlie’s eyes flickered, he unconsciously began to explore what emotions were in her gaze.

As they were at a standstill, the passenger side door was opened by Jiang Wan Ning.

She got in without hesitation, looking at Fu Chenlie, who was still standing beside the car: "Ah Lie, why aren’t you getting in?"

Upon seeing Jiang Wan Ning blatantly and uncompromisingly sit in the passenger seat, the multitude of emotions Wen Ran had been suppressing instantly reached the breaking point.

Deep in sadness, very calm.

She indifferently glanced at Fu Chenlie, pulled her lips into a smile: "If you want to drive, boss, then drive. I’ve arranged to have dinner with friends, so I won’t go with you. You can just invite Ms. Wan Ning home, have dinner together and reminisce."

Without waiting for his response, Wen Ran decisively turned and hastened back to the elevator.

She wanted to escape this chaotic scene-like environment, the faster, the better.

She didn’t want to helplessly sit in the back seat like a third wheel, passively listening to Jiang Wan Ning and Fu Chenlie talking about their past while being unable to do anything.

Fu Chenlie stood where he was, watching Wen Ran turn and leave, his gaze dark and complex, even the hand resting on the car door was clenched into a fist, as numerous emotions rampaged through his chest, blocking him from breathing and leaving him unsure of how to vent.
