The CEO's Woman

Chapter 308 Protective

After the mother and daughter’s reunion, Jiang Yue and Long Die tried to spend most of their time, working on new projects and designs. This time, Jiang Yue wanted to help Shen Rong realize her potential. She knew that Shen Rong was an artist in their past life, yet, in this life, she was just Jiang Yue secretary.

Because of that, she wanted Shen Rong to focus on her art and have Long Die take care of some of her work. That way, Jiang Yue and Long Die could work closely together.

Jiang Yue decided to have Shen Rong make new clothes designs for their games. Since they had already established a little ground in the fashion world back in Xin City, it was not hard for Jiang Yue and Shen Rong to do it again in B Country.

Art was something that Shen Rong was very confident about, so Jiang Yue’s idea instantly made her ecstatic. Shen Rong was originally very hardworking, so it was not hard for her to follow Jiang Yue’s plan.

"Alright, so these are dresses from the game. Basically, our target is young people." Jiang Yue stated while studying about the fashion industry.

"You are wrong. Not just young people play your games. Many housewives also love to play some games during their vacant times. Especially, games like this." Long Die interjected. "Maybe you should include them in your target market."

"I agree with Long Die, Xiao Yue." Sheng Rong said.

"Alright... you two won." Jiang Yue smiled. "Now, why don’t we celebrate and buy some doughnuts downstairs?" she beamed.

"As if that grim-looking bodyguard of yours would allow you to leave this place." Shen Rong’s words instantly earned a raised eyebrow from both Jiang Yue and Long Die. Both of them instantly knew that Shen Rong was talking about Bei Ye. However, the two chose to hide their smirks and act as if they did not hear her words.

"You are right. Why don’t you just go downstairs and buy something sweet for me?" Jiang Yue said. "Maybe you can even ask Bei Ye to accompany you."

"Why do I need him to accompany me?" Shen Rong asked. "Hmp, Long Die, why don’t you accompany me instead?"

Jiang Yue stifled a laugh before nodding towards her mother. It would also be good to have Long Die bond with Shen Rong. Jiang Yue had already considered Shen Rong as one of her best friends, as the two knew each other since their high school years.

Sensing her signal, Long Die instantly got up and accompanied Shen Rong outside of Wang Empire’s building.

The doughnut store was not that far from Wang Empire’s building. The store had a little café where you could eat sweets and a little counter outside for the people, who only wanted to have take outs.

That café was one of the oldest establishments here in B Country and was known to have the best doughnuts and sweets in the capital.

The duo instantly arrived at the doughnut store, only to discover that there was a long line of customers, waiting for their orders. Seeing that, Long Die asked Shen Rong to stay in the line while she went to the restroom.

Shen Rong only nodded and went to the line for the take outs, while Long Die made her way to the restroom inside the café.

Long Die did not take a lot of time in the restroom. In fact, she only took less than five minutes. When she came back, Shen Rong was already talking to a handsome guy, who was about her age. She was currently laughing, obviously amused by the guy’s words. For Long Die, that scene should have been totally normal since Shen Rong was also good-looking and really nice. However, what made her suspicious was the fact that the guy instantly left before Long Die could get closer to them.

"Who was that?" Long Die asked, the moment she arrived next to Shen Rong.

"A friend. We always see each other lining up in this doughnut store. Maybe... three times already." She answered. "Just now, he approached me and asked for my name and number."

"And you gave it to him?" Long Die asked.

"Yes... he is really nice. He is a foreigner as well... did you see his eyes? It’s blue..." Long Die listened as Shen Rong continued talking about the guy. Seeing her excitement, Long Die just brush off the incident.

’Maybe, it was just a coincidence that the guy left when he noticed me approaching, she thought. After all, the guy seemed to also work nearby, just like Shen Rong.

At that point, Long Die was unaware that she was already feeling a little protective of Jiang Yue’s friends. Of course, that was also because she was a mother. And mothers tend to sense danger when they see one.
