After a wealthy woman went bankrupt, her live-in husband became her sugar daddy.

Chapter 203 Cancellation of Quotas

Jiang Yichen slowly picked up the internal phone, pressed the button gently, and his cold voice came through the receiver: "Have Lao Mo come to my office immediately."

I stood rooted to the spot, my gaze burning with fury as I stared at him, as if I wanted to pierce through him.

Soon after, Lao Mo hurriedly entered the room.

Jiang Yichen announced without any mercy right in front of me: "Gu Mo's spot in the comprehensive anchor show is canceled."

Upon hearing this, the atmosphere in the room suddenly froze.

Old Mo keenly noticed that my face had turned ashen, and Jiang Yichen's attitude was so firm. For a moment, he was caught in a dilemma and could only try his best to persuade me: "President Jiang, if we cancel now, it may have a negative impact on the company's reputation. Furthermore, Gu Mo is currently very popular, and this move will undoubtedly have a great negative impact on us, especially on the fans, which we will find difficult to suppress."

Jiang Yichen responded coldly without hesitation: "I remember that Little Sweetie has a considerable number of fans, even more. If a replacement is really needed, let Little Sweetie take over."

Upon hearing this, Lao Mo wiped the sweat from his forehead. Although he felt helpless, he could only agree: "Okay, I'll take care of it right away."

After he left, I glared at Jiang Yichen with wide eyes and gritted my teeth, cursing, "Jiang Yichen, you're a fascist, a hegemon!"

After I finished speaking, I turned to leave, but he suddenly grabbed me and pulled me into a tight embrace.

He forcefully pinched my chin, his tone icy cold: "You must obey me, otherwise, I don't mind taking some extreme measures."

These words were like a biting wind, sending a chill down my spine.

I struggled a few times, but found myself as if I were being held tightly by iron clamps, unable to break free from Jiang Yichen's grasp.

So all I could do was stare at him with wide eyes, trying to convey my anger and dissatisfaction through my gaze.

Just then, I heard hurried footsteps outside the door, and my heart started racing.

I placed my hands on Jiang Yichen's chest and whispered urgently, "Someone's coming."

Jiang Yichen seemed to ignore me, still holding me tightly and refusing to let go.

Immediately afterwards, the office door was suddenly pushed open, and a figure flashed in.

Out of the corner of my eye, I saw Lin Nan, who was standing at the door, ruthlessly step on Jiang Yichen's foot.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, I finally broke free from Jiang Yichen's grasp and subconsciously took a step back, trying to distance myself from him.

In my panic, my foot slipped and I stumbled, almost falling.

Jiang Yichen reacted quickly, immediately putting his arm around my waist and asking anxiously, "Are you alright?"

I glanced at Lin Nan, feeling incredibly awkward, and noticed his gaze was fixed on Jiang Yichen's hand, which was still wrapped around my waist. I quickly pushed Jiang Yichen away, forcing a smile, and said, "Thank you, I'm fine."

In the eyes of Lin Nan, his legal wife, I was always someone she couldn't be considered respectable. Moreover, our ambiguous actions would undoubtedly cause her to misunderstand. I knew this, and a sense of guilt and unease welled up inside me.

I turned to Lin Nan and hurriedly tried to find an excuse to escape this awkward situation: "I have to do a live broadcast, I have to go now." After saying that, I hurriedly left the office, feeling a mix of emotions.

I clearly wanted to explain everything to Lin Nan, but I didn't know where to begin.

I know that any explanation at this moment would only seem weak and powerless, and would not be able to dispel her doubts.

I could only leave this embarrassing place hastily, filled with guilt and unease.

Lin Nan and Jiang Yichen watched Gu Mo's hurried departure. Lin Nan frowned slightly and asked, puzzled, "Why did you two argue again?"

Jiang Yichen gently rubbed his temples, a hint of fatigue on his face, and sighed, "You women's minds are truly hard to fathom."

Upon hearing this, Lin Nan quickly waved his hand and laughed, "Hey, don't include me, I'm not that kind of person."

Then, Lin Nan took out a document from her hand, placed it on the table, and her expression became serious: "This is the latest statistics for the comprehensive anchor show. As you can see, Gu Mo's popularity is very high, and she has also brought a lot of benefits to the company. I just heard Lao Mo say that you want to replace her. Can you tell me why?"

Jiang Yichen remained silent, simply staring at the documents on the table.

Lin Nan knew that Jiang Yichen was not a person who acted impulsively, but in front of Gu Mo, he would always lose his usual calmness and composure.

She couldn't help but secretly wonder if there was a reason behind this.

Seeing that Jiang Yichen remained silent, Lin Nan jokingly asked, "You don't really suspect there's something between them because of Zhao Ning, and that's why you're not letting Gu Mo participate, do you?"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Yichen looked up at Lin Nan, his eyes narrowed slightly, and said in a deep voice, "Am I such a petty person?"

Lin Nan nodded deliberately, and said thoughtfully, "Besides this reason, I can't think of any other reason."

After careful consideration, Jiang Yichen finally told Lin Nan about Gu Mo's pregnancy.

After listening, Lin Nan helplessly spread her hands and said earnestly, "What you did wasn't really a big problem, but the key is that you ignored her feelings and thoughts. You should have discussed it with her before making a decision, especially since she's pregnant now, her mood is volatile, and she's prone to having some negative thoughts and feelings. You have to be careful, prenatal and postpartum periods are high-risk periods for depression."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Yichen raised his eyebrows slightly, a smile playing on his lips, and said, "You seem to know a lot about these things."

Lin Nan chuckled and retorted, "Please, I'm a woman too. Women naturally understand women. Alright, I won't chat with you anymore. I have a ton of work waiting for me, so I'll head over now."

After saying that, Lin Nan stood up and gracefully left the office.

Jiang Yichen fell into deep thought. Lin Nan's words struck him like a heavy hammer, forcing him to re-examine his decision.

Meanwhile, I stormed back to my live stream and slammed the door shut. Little Sweetie and Old Mo rushed over as soon as they saw this.

Old Mo asked with a puzzled look, "What did you do to offend President Jiang this time? You seem even angrier than last time."

Before I could even answer, Little Sweetie couldn't wait to ask, "What exactly happened? Why were you suddenly replaced as the person participating in the variety show? Wasn't it supposed to be you?"

I sighed helplessly and told Little Sweetie the whole story: "Jiang Yichen wouldn't let me participate, but I really wanted to try and get this opportunity."
