Ye Shiqing knew he had committed a grave taboo in the officialdom: one was Wen Beibei, and the other that clouded his mind, of course, was Qiao Qiao.
And he had just risen to his position; if rumors of improper conduct and questionable morals were to spread, it would be even harder to win people's respect.
What was he thinking? Had he lost his mind?
Qiao Qiao, rattled by Ye Shiqing's unintentional flirting, was in turmoil. She wanted to talk to Su Hongxing for some sisterly advice, but feared being ridiculed by that woman. Eventually, she decided it wasn't a big deal, it was just sharing a cup after all.
If Ye Shiqing, a grown man, didn't find it embarrassing, why should she, a married woman, be afraid?
Qiao Qiao was troubled because of Ye Shiqing, and Su Hongxing was having a hard time too.
Now, Ye Qilan was acting like a freak, imitating the same tactics Little Pudding used before. Wherever she went, Ye Qilan followed.
