She was fired after she refused to be the CEO's dog licker.

Congratulations to Yan Dong and me? And you said milk tea is our wedding candy?

I was extremely surprised.

Yan Dong still had that warm smile, and just reminded everyone to drink and work hard, and didn't say anything else.

Wu Ling pulled me into the office and put his arm around my shoulders with a smile: "Xu Xu, you are a little bit unkind. You didn't tell me about your relationship right away. Fortunately, our company has an anxious loudspeaker, otherwise we don't know how long it will take for us to enjoy the wedding candy of you and Yan Dong."

I just realized, “Who said Yan Dong and I were in love?”

The rumor spread faster than my car.

But I already had a suspect in my mind. After all, from today till now, the only people who had seen me and Yan Dong together were Zhou Hanzhi and Lin Xixi.

"Aren't you in a relationship? Then what is this?" Wu Ling looked at me in surprise and picked up his phone to show me.

The photo was sent in the WeChat company group, and it was indeed sent by Lin Xixi.

There are two photos in total. One is the back view of Yan Dong holding my hand as he walks into Ruxuan. The other is Yan Dong and I sitting face to face eating. Yan Dong is picking up black truffle and mushroom dumplings for me. His movements and eyes reveal his tenderness and concern.

At first glance, these two photos would give people the illusion that Yan Dong and I are on a date.

And Lin Xixi is very smart. She only posted these two photos and didn’t say anything else, just letting everyone understand it for themselves.

So everyone naturally understood that Yan Dong and I were in love.

It's consistent with her usual approach.

But I didn’t expect that Wu Ling would also misunderstand that Yan Dong and I were in love.

I just took a look and frowned, told Wu Ling what happened this morning, and then opened the photo details to show Wu Ling.

"It's true that Yan Dong was holding me at the time, but he was holding my wrist, not my hand. And in this photo, Yan Dong used a serving chopstick to pick up food for me. And his eyes, who can't see them as gentle?

Wu Ling sighed softly: "It is true. When Lin Xixi posted the photo in the company group this morning, I suspected that she was deliberately making up rumors about you, but in my heart I really hope that you and Professor Yan can be together, even if it is just to try to accept being loved first..."

"You know me. The only thing on my mind right now is our project. Although Monogatari has stabilized, HERO is still in a critical period. I don't have the energy to fall in love." I gently interrupted Wu Ling and whispered.

I am telling the truth. I really don't have the energy for a relationship.

I am not qualified to fall in love.

"Xuxu, you and Professor Yan are both in the company, and you are even in the same project team. Even if you two have a paid relationship, I agree. Besides, love can bring vitality to people. Maybe if you two are together, you will be a perfect match and the project will progress faster." I understood what Wu Ling meant. She still wanted to match me with Yan Dong.

I smiled and shook my head: "No, what if we get too caught up in love and delay the project progress?"

"I never worry that you will delay the progress of the project." Wu Ling didn't give up. She looked into my eyes and suddenly changed the subject, "Xuxu, the reason you didn't choose Professor Yan is because you can't let go..."

"Absolutely not." I answered seriously before she finished speaking, and then changed the subject, "Let me explain to everyone first, so that no more people will misunderstand me and Yan Dong."

Wu Ling seemed relieved and nodded in agreement.

I smiled at her, then lowered my head and sent a message directly to the company group: "Mr. Wu wants to improve overtime benefits for everyone, so he sent Professor Yan to accompany me to explore the store and select products. Ruxuan's quality is good. Mr. Wu has decided that everyone should choose Ruxuan for midnight snacks when they work overtime in the future."

Originally, the company provided midnight snacks for overtime workers, but our funds were limited before, so the quality of the midnight snacks provided was not very high. Now that the company has money, it is time to appropriately improve the company benefits.

In fact, this is not my excuse. I already had this plan in mind when I was having breakfast today.

It’s just right to use this as an excuse to explain it now.

Wu Ling immediately added a sentence in the company group: "Yes, I have also decided that the cost of overtime supper will be paid from the funds of the Monogatari project team."

After reading it, I understood what Wu Ling meant.

There was a quick response in the company group.

Everyone agreed with the decision made by Wu Ling and I and expressed their gratitude.

The topic smoothly changed from discussing whether Yan Dong and I were in a relationship and dating to "Mr. Wu is awesome" and "Manager Meng and Professor Yan have worked hard."

The storm was over, and I breathed a sigh of relief and sat down to get back to work.

I was so absorbed in my work that I hardly noticed anything else until someone pushed open the door of my office. I was startled and when I looked up, I unexpectedly met a pair of angry peach blossom eyes.

After seeing me, those angry peach blossom eyes instantly turned into aggrieved ones. Yuan Tianye rushed in and sat in front of me: "Sister, what's the matter with those two photos? Are you really in love with Professor Yan? What about me? Don't you want me anymore?"

"Why are you..." I pointed at his messy gray hair.

This kid always pays attention to his image, but his hair is so messy today, it's obvious that he came here in a hurry.

"Sister, don't worry about this. Answer my question quickly." Yuan Tianye didn't care about his hair at all. He just pulled my sleeve and urged me, "Answer me quickly. Are you and Professor Yan really in love? I don't want to hear other people's stories. I want to hear it from you."

I know his character, he is really impatient at the moment.

I poured him a glass of water first, then answered seriously: "No, Yan Dong and I are just good friends. We just had breakfast together at Ruxuan this morning, but someone took a misplaced photo of us."

From the moment I said no, Yuan Tianye's expression was obviously relaxed. After hearing the following words, he breathed a sigh of relief: "I said it, how could my sister leave someone as young and handsome as me and choose an old man? Besides, my sister is so outstanding, it is impossible for ordinary people to catch her eye."

"What an old man, don't say that. Yan Dong is very good and excellent." I heard him talking more and more outrageously, so I interrupted him and said seriously, "We are good friends. I don't want him to be evaluated like this."

"Okay, okay, Professor Yan is really good, except that he's a little old. Is it okay to say that, sister?" Yuan Tianye quickly changed the subject, "Anyway, he's better than that bastard Zhou Hanzhi. I know you were able to control yourself when you were dating Yan Dong. If the male lead had been Zhou Hanzhi, I wouldn't be here, sister."

"Then where will you appear?" I was a little curious.

Yuan Tianye snorted: "I will go directly to Zhou Hanzhi and smash his head."
