"Yang, are you being overpowered by being Director? You haven't come back to visit us sisters in such a long time? " A female PR elder sister said.
Yang Chen smiled in embarrassment, "Isn't this the end of the new year? Everyone is pretty busy, I miss all of you beauties."
"You're glib tongued. I heard that if you found a female secretary who looks like a fox spirit, you'll definitely do bad things every day," said Zhang Cai, who was puffing her mouth and eating a sandwich.
Yang Chen was stunned. Why did news of Anxin's incident spread to the headquarters? Anxin seemed to be a fox spirit after all. It was unknown whether it was because women looked at women or because Anxin was really eye-catching.
"Don't talk about them like that. Maybe they are just dating." Zhao Hongyan glanced at Yang Chen strangely and said.
"He said he was married," Zhang Cai muttered.
"Eat your biscuit, why are you meddling in other people's business?" Zhao Hongyan nodded her round face.
Yang Chen felt that this female colleague who was closest to him seemed to know something, but he couldn't really ask.
When he walked into Liu Mingyu's office, she was sitting in front of her computer, looking at something.
She was wearing a white uniform with a purple scarf wrapped around her neck. Her long black hair was tied up in a bun, and her smooth face was exceptionally fair. The mature imperial sister's temperament was even more intense than when they first met.
What made Yang Chen's eyes light up was that Liu Mingyu was actually wearing a pair of black-rimmed glasses. Liu Mingyu was probably a bit nearsighted, but in the office, she couldn't be bothered to wear contact lenses, so she just barely fit in.
When these glasses were worn, it gave Liu Mingyu a more bookish air. The feeling of being a university professor made Yang Chen's imagination run wild, and at the same time, a trace of anger rose in his heart.
Seeing Yang Chen walk in, Liu Mingyu smiled. She was about to take off her glasses, but was stopped by Yang Chen.
"Hey, don't pick it!" Yang Chen stopped him with a smile.
Liu Mingyu blinked her eyes, looked at Yang Chen in confusion, stretched her hand out halfway and then put it down.
Yang Chen walked to Liu Mingyu's side, tilted his head and looked at her carefully. Seeing that Liu Mingyu's face had a blush on it, he smiled and asked, "Ming Yubaobei, who did you learn to dress like that from?"
"Fuck you, what glasses girl …" Liu Mingyu finally understood what he was thinking. She immediately took off her glasses and stuffed them into the drawer.
Yang Chen felt quite regretful, but she was a girl with a thin skin, so he couldn't ask her to be like this in the future, even if that would be tempting.
Liu Mingyu patted the table and instructed Yang Chen, "Don't wander around beside me. Go sit across from me."
Yang Chen smiled bitterly, "You haven't been intimate for so long and yet you aren't acting like a spoiled child. For you to ask me to sit away really makes me sad."
"Stop acting good, I already told you that I'm not a girl. I'm long past that age, who would have the time to act coquettishly with you?" Liu Mingyu rolled her eyes at Yang Chen. "I want to talk business with you."
Yang Chen walked to the water dispenser and poured himself a glass of water. Then, he sat down on the chair opposite Liu Mingyu's desk and drank a mouthful. "What is it? Tell me."
Liu Mingyu looked a little worried. After a moment of silence, she said, "My parents want to see you."
"Puff …"
Yang Chen spat out half a mouthful of saliva. Liu Mingyu frowned and pouted unhappily, "What reaction is this? Is this funny?"
Yang Chen waved his hand, not knowing whether to laugh or cry, "Did you tell your parents about us?"
"I did." Liu Mingyu sighed, "How can I not? I'm already at this age. Those relatives and friends of mine who are younger than me have gotten married and have children. I don't need to send a letter to my parents, so of course they are anxious. If I don't say that I already have a man, then wouldn't they be forcing me to marry them? "
Yang Chen asked, "Then how did you explain our relationship?"
Liu Mingyu said quietly, "How could I dare say I found a playboy? I can only say that I was dating you. It's just that we were too busy to tell them."
"So Auntie and Uncle want to see me?" Yang Chen had a rough idea of the situation.
"Can you?" Liu Mingyu asked nervously, afraid.
Yang Chen replied with a strange question: "Why not, they are your parents, I kidnapped their daughter, of course I have to let them know me. I have to ask the owner to borrow something. How can I catch a woman without asking her parents? "
"This is so unpleasant to hear. What are you trying to capture a woman for, don't you know how to speak nice words?" Liu Mingyu's face reddened, but she was clearly overjoyed. She heaved a sigh of relief.
Soon after, Liu Mingyu seemed to have thought of something, and said awkwardly, "But what if they want us to get married? You're already married …"
Yang Chen looked straight at her and asked with a smile, "Are you willing to marry me?"
Liu Mingyu was startled, she thought for a while, then shook her head, "If I say no, then it's fake, but I know, you definitely won't marry me. In your heart, I definitely can't compare to Qianni. It's even worse than that wife of yours who I don't know about, or even that Anxin. Actually, the reason I chose to be with you was more because I needed someone to rely on. Of course, I like you a lot and I love you a lot, but … Because of that, I just want to be like this right now, be by your side, get married or something... I'm getting less and less concerned about it. "
"Foolish woman, you are speaking nonsense. I am not that biased. I will settle this matter. Since Uncle and Aunt want to see me, you should arrange some time for me. However, it will be a few days later. I have some matters to attend to in the next few days. " Yang Chen thought for a while and said.
Liu Mingyu smiled and nodded. She didn't ask how Yang Chen intended to resolve this issue. She believed in herself and also believed that Yang Chen would deal with this matter well.
The two remained silent for a while. Liu Mingyu was thinking about something, and Yang Chenze was thinking about how to meet Liu Mingyu's parents.
Suddenly, Liu Mingyu said, "Hongyan knows about the matter between you and me."
"Hmm?" Yang Chen couldn't react in time.
"I said, Hongyan, now that you know about me being your lover, she came to my office to ask me about it two days ago, I admit it. That girl was also interesting. She advised me not to insult myself and not to bury my happiness for the sake of a moment of emotion. Do you think what she said made sense? " Liu Mingyu asked with a faint smile.
Yang Chen slapped his forehead. Back then in Japan, he had had a premonition that Zhao Hongyan had known about his relationship with Liu Mingyu during the earthquake that night. After all, she was in the same room as Liu Mingyu, and there was so much commotion that night that she must have found out Liu Mingyu wasn't in the room.
A woman's heart was always far more delicate than one could imagine. Zhao Hongyan must have deduced this from the clues she came up with later on.
"What she said makes sense. If you follow me, you definitely won't be worth it if you follow a man who treats you wholeheartedly. However, you have no other choice. If you stay with me, you should follow along with me to a dead end. Yang Chen said with certainty.
Liu Mingyu rolled her eyes at him. "I knew a 'bully' like you would say that. You speak of democracy and righteousness, but you are more selfish than anyone else."
Yang Chen rubbed his nose and smiled awkwardly.
"Oh right, there's a gathering of colleagues tonight. You should go as well!" Liu Mingyu said in anticipation.
Yang Chen asked, "Is it a Public Relations meeting?"
"Not really. Two days ago, Qianni and I discussed a friendship between the Ministry of Finance and the Public Relations Department. The Ministry of Finance has many young promising young men who can help our little sisters find them." Liu Mingyu's eyes were filled with the glow of gossip.
Yang Chen finally understood that these two women wanted to play with Hong Niang. However, he did not expect Liu Mingyu and Mo Qianni's relationship had progressed so fast. They had started their own activities together.
Now that Mo Qianni and Qiangwei were living together, his three women started to form different bridges and communicate with each other.
Yang Chen wondered if he should call Anxin out next time and let the four women play mahjong.
"What dirty idea are you thinking? "You're laughing so hard that your chin almost falls off." Liu Mingyu asked with dissatisfaction, "Are you going or not?"
"Will you be embarrassed if I go?" Yang Chen asked worriedly.
Liu Mingyu giggled. "Do you think Qianni and I are some kind of little woman who are jealous of each other?" "We were playing with us, and asking you to go was because you were once a member of our department. Otherwise, hmph, don't think that you're so great just because you're the branch chief that you can't be bothered to pay attention to you."
Yang Chen nodded, "In that case, I have to go. I'm not an ungrateful person."
After saying that, Yang Chen called home and told Guo Xuehua and Nanny Wang that he wasn't coming home to eat.
After thinking for a while, Yang Chen decided to give Lin Ruoxi a call as this was a form of respect between husband and wife. He had to remember this "old wife", right?
After the call was connected, Lin Ruoxi's cold voice came from the other end, "If you have anything to say, say it quickly."
Yang Chen was used to this tone so he didn't care too much, "Are you busy? "Actually, it's not a big deal. I'm just telling you that I won't be home for dinner tonight."
Lin Ruoxi was silent for a moment before she suddenly asked, "What are you going to do?"
Yang Chen was surprised. Why did Lin Ruoxi take the initiative to care for him? There had never been such a situation before. Even if he was gone for a few days, she wouldn't ask you what you were doing.
"Should I be flattered? Why are you so concerned about me?"
"You calling me is a sign of respect, and I respect you, so I'm asking you. If you don't want to say it, then forget it."
Lin Ruoxi looked like she was about to hang up the phone after she finished speaking.
"I'll tell you." Yang Chen smiled bitterly, he seemed to have poked into Lin Ruoxi's soft spot. That woman became shy, "It's a friendship between the PR Department and the Ministry of Finance, I'm going to attend the gathering."
Lin Ruoxi asked hesitantly, "It was organized by Qianni and Liu Mingyu?"
"Yeah, is there a problem?"
Lin Ruoxi suddenly said, "I'll go too."
"Pah!"
The phone in Yang Chen's hand lost its grip and fell to the ground!
