A Waist Attack

The company’s planning department was hiring, and the interviewers went through the usual motions. The only unusual thing was that CEO Xu Suiting suddenly showed up. He took a seat in a quiet corner. “Carry on. I’ll just observe.” Behind him was a wall of floor-to-ceiling windows, with skyscrapers outside and the sun shining bright. He sat in the sunlight, his presence cool and distant against the warmth of the setting, a striking contrast. He really was only observing, saying nothing, yet his powerful presence made him impossible to ignore. When a woman came in, everyone was briefly stunned by her beauty, then prepared to continue with the interview. “I heard Ning Nanchen is your fiancé?” Everyone abruptly turned to look at Xu Suiting. Wasn’t he just observing? Why was he asking such a personal question? The woman answered with poise. “I’m sorry, but that’s private. Please rest assured, though: I have no personal ties to anyone at my previous company. If I join your company, Mr. Ning will be my competitor.” Oh? Their relationship had fallen apart? There was juicy gossip to be had. No one noticed Xu Suiting’s lips curve faintly upward. / Ning Nanchen cheated, and regretted it for as long as they had been broken up. Especially after he found out He Ying had a new love. At a banquet, the crowd parted around one person. That man had an arm around He Ying’s waist, looking relaxed, his features impossibly handsome. He smiled at Ning Nanchen. “Long time no see, Mr. Ning.” Xu Suiting was the youngest CEO in the industry. Back when he was seeking investment for his college startup, he and He Ying had been lucky enough to host him. Could it be that he had already been interested in He Ying back then...? Ning Nanchen’s face turned livid as the realization hit him. / He Ying led Xu Suiting to a corner of the banquet hall and removed the hand from her waist. Before she could say a word, that hand was back around her waist. Xu Suiting pulled her close possessively and bent down to kiss her. “He Ying, what’s with your taste in men?” Feeling the softness of his lips, He Ying looked up. “And what about yours?” She had never been conceited, not until she met him... She must be devastatingly beautiful. Otherwise, why would he ignore the beautiful women around him and keep his eyes only on her? ■ A story about a scumbag trying and failing to win back his ex, who gets swept away by his rival and love rival instead. ■ Welcome the new love, bid farewell to the old.
