Chapter 914: Miao Miaomiao is Only a Chess Piece

When Ning Shu and Zhang Jiasen got back to the office, they opened the door to find that Xue Manman was currently holding a jewelry box. It was the one that Ning Shu had placed on the table earlier.

When Xue Manman saw that Ning Shu and Zhang Jiasen had come back, she hastily closed the box and placed it back onto the table.

“I… I saw that this box was on the table, so I was curious and took a look,” explained Xue Manman hastily. Then she asked Ning Shu, “Is this your necklace?”

Ning Shu glanced at Zhang Jiasen, then purposefully said, “It’s a gift from Jiasen.”


Xue Manman’s facial color immediately changed and she hastily look towards Zhang Jiasen for confirmation. However, Zhang Jiasen ignored her gaze.

Ning Shu picked up the jewelry box and said to Zhang Jiasen, “I’m going with Dad to his checkup, so please look after the company.”

“Alright, be careful,” said Zhang Jiasen gently. He even opened the door for Ning Shu and exhorted again, “Take care on the road.”

Ning Shu said to Xue Manman, “Secretary Xue, I’ll be leaving.”

“Take care.” Xue Manman’s voice was trembling.

Ning Shu saw that Xue Manman’s face was deathly pale, but there was still a smile on her face. She found it very refreshing to see how much in pain Xue Manman was.

The moment Ning Shu left, Xue Manman’s expression collapsed. When she saw how well Zhang Jiasen treated Miao Miaomiao, a panicked feeling arose in her heart. And Zhang Jiasen had even given Miao Miaomiao the necklace he was supposed to give her.

“Jiasen.” Xue Manman’s eyes contained water-like light as she looked towards Zhang Jiasen with insuppressible passion.

Zhang Jiasen was originally still quite happy due to this promotion, but when he saw Xue Manman’s weeping expression, he rubbed his temples in slight annoyance. “I’m giving this one to Miao Miaomiao first. I’ll buy another one tomorrow.”

Xue Manman shook her head as she said, “I don’t care about the necklace. The only reason I wanted this necklace was because I wanted to attend dinner parties with you and stand next to you as an equal. What I care about is your attitude towards Miao Miaomiao. Why do you treat her so well?”

When Zhang Jiasen heard Xue Manman’s questions, a trace of dark impatience appeared on his face. “I’ve always treated Miao Miaomiao well. You knew that this was just an act. You’ve never said anything about it before, so why do you keep bringing it up now? Miao Miaomiao is only a chess piece.”

“I could still endure it in the past, but now whenever I see you treating Miao Miaomiao well, I’d feel sad and envious. I envy the fact that Miao Miaomiao can stand next to you and be openly by your side. Meanwhile, all I can do is watch the man I like treating someone else well as someone else’s husband.”

Xue Manman was so hurt that her body was trembling slightly.

Zhang Jiasen sighed, then said firmly, “You have to trust me. I have no feelings for Miao Miaomiao. Once I gain complete control of the Miao family, let’s get married.”

When Xue Manman heard this promise from Zhang Jiasen, a trace of dejection flashed through her heart. How long would she have to wait?

Xue Manman reached out and hugged Zhang Jiasen’s waist. “I just want to stay by your side. Jiasen, I’ll die without you.”

This was the office. Zhang Jiasen had always been avoiding having any intimate gestures with Xue Manman in public places, but her tears wet his shirt. It caused his heart to soften slightly, so he didn’t push her away.

This was the reason Zhang Jiasen liked Xue Manman. From Xue Manman, he could feel the value of his own existence. Xue Manman adored him, worshiped him, and loved him. It wasn’t like when he was facing Miao Miaomiao. The halo around Miao Miaomiao was so strong that it was hard to breathe in her presence.

Zhang Jiasen was a man that believed in male chauvinism, but these last couple years in the company, everyone said that he had only managed to get where he was now through living off of his woman. He remembered all of these words clearly.
