Chapter 976: Yun Qiluo’s Substitute?
There really wasn’t a place in the company suitable for private conversation. Yun Qiqi didn’t plan to chat with Su Niannian for long, so she stopped directly at the emergency staircase near the restroom door.
"Secretary Yun..."
Su Niannian’s sweet and soft voice rang out.
Yun Qiqi raised her eyes, looked at her with a hint of wariness, "Do you know me?"
"..." Su Niannian’s expression stiffened slightly, "I just heard from others. I inquired because you look so much like the Fifth Young Master’s fiancée. I hope you don’t mind."
Yun Qiqi: "Oh." She completely wore a look of disinterest in chatting with her.
This attitude made Su Niannian a bit puzzled.
Doesn’t this Yun Qiqi get curious about Yan Yan’s fiancée?
She’s mentioned it several times already; she should have asked about it by now.
She hesitated for a moment, then tentatively spoke:
"I heard them say you’re the newly arrived personal secretary to the Fifth Young Master?"
Yun Qiqi responded faintly: "Hmm."
"Then your relationship with the Fifth Young Master should be quite good, right? There’s never been a female in his secretary department before, so I think your position in his mind must be special..."
When Su Niannian mentioned the words Fifth Young Master, her voice was gentle and familiar.
Yun Qiqi found that she really couldn’t bring herself to like this girl.
Especially when she mentioned Yan Yan.
The young girl wrinkled her little nose, her voice turning colder: "Just alright."
"Do you know about the Fifth Young Master’s previous fiancée..."
Su Niannian appeared hesitant and as if she wanted to say more but was restraining herself. After a while, like making some decision, she bravely told her:
"Don’t be fooled by how the Fifth Young Master seems hard to approach now; he’s actually very passionate. He loved that girl deeply back then, and their relationship was always good. It’s said that no matter where he went, Mr. Yan would always bring that girl along."
"It’s a pity that when they decided to get engaged, something happened, and the girl suddenly got kidnapped, disappearing completely afterward. It was a big deal at the time; you should still be able to find news reports from back then. The Fifth Young Master went crazy looking for her, but couldn’t find her anywhere."
"For two years, even though many outside speculated that the girl probably met an unfortunate end, he never stopped searching for her..."
Before Yun Qiqi’s eyes flashed the man’s strikingly beautiful yet seemingly indifferent face.
It was hard to imagine that he once had such a frenzied, hysterical side.
However, he did seem like a compulsive person.
Although he always behaved quite normally in front of her, Yun Qiqi occasionally sensed the suppressed emotions in his gaze, as if something wanted to erupt from the depths of his being.
Her heart couldn’t help but flutter slightly.
Coming back to her senses and looking at Su Niannian in front of her, she appeared particularly calm, asking, "And then?"
Su Niannian lowered her eyes and said softly, "You look very much like that girl. I think this might be why the Fifth Young Master made you his personal secretary. He sees you as a..."
Yun Qiqi frowned: "A stand-in for Yun Qiluo?"
"..." Su Niannian hesitated for a moment, then nodded, "Yes."
Yun Qiqi just quietly looked at her, without making a sound.
