Chapter 134: Chapter 134: Li Yehan: Is He Your Boyfriend?
Rong Yan was startled by Zhou Hongqi’s actions and, not knowing what he was planning, took a few steps back, assuming a defensive stance.
“Let tell you,” he said, “I’ve busted a rib and can barely move.
If you dare to touch again, it’s all caught on cara.
I’ll make sure you won’t be able to walk away from this.”
Zhou Hongqi glared viciously at him, “Who saved you?”
Rong Yan replied with an unwavering face, “Of course, I saved myself.”
Zhou Hongqi still didn’t believe it; who would believe that he alone could do so much?
“President Zhou, you still don’t know my capabilities!”
Rong Miao ca to pick up Rong Yan and was taken aback to see Zhou Hongqi blocking his way.
She grabbed a baseball bat from the car and hurried over to Rong Yan’s side.
“Brother, I’ve co to get you.
There’s a mad dog looking to bite soone, so I brought this bat specially to beat the dog.
This is my dog-beating stick!”
Zhou Hongqi: “…”
“Whom are you talking about?” Zhou Hongqi choked with anger.
Rong Miao: “I wasn’t talking about you.
What are you getting worked up for?”
As Rong Yan led Rong Miao away, he spoke to her, “Miaomiao, why bother with all this?
If a dog bites you, can you bite it back?
Now that it’s sorted, let’s celebrate with hotpot.”
Zhou Hongqi watched their retreating figures with a deep frown.
Who on earth had he offended to be treated this way?
…
Achoo.
Nan Qiao sneezed.
He Li quickly poured a cup of hot water for Nan Qiao, “Mr.
Qiao, have so hot water, and make sure to rest more if you’re not feeling well.”
Everyone in the eting room watched He Li, surprised by her attentive attitude toward Nan Qiao.
Nan Qiao accepted the cup with a smile, “Thank you.”
“You’re welco, Mr.
Qiao.
Please continue with the eting,” He Li said as she sat down, continuing to listen attentively to Nan Qiao.
Nan Qiao said, “The workload for this month is quite heavy, but if everyone works hard, the company will not let you down with your salaries.”
Everyone exclaid, “Thank you, Mr.
Qiao!”
They were all very motivated, brimming with enthusiasm.
Under Xu Dayong’s managent, the company never had situations where salaries were proportional to effort like now.
After Nan Qiao took over the company, she handled things impartially, and everyone liked her work attitude.
…
After the eting, Nan Qiao picked up her phone and saw a ssage from Li Yehan.
He Li approached and said, “Mr.
Qiao, I know a restaurant that serves really authentic and delicious Peking duck.
Would you like to join for a al?”
Nan Qiao replied, “Thank you for the invitation, but I’ve already made plans with a friend, and he’s waiting for there.”
He Li’s expression faltered for a mont but quickly returned to normal, her eyes smiling as she said, “Sure, we can do it next ti.”
Nan Qiao nodded and took her leave.
…
Nan Qiao entered the restaurant Li Yehan had sent her the location for and was sowhat surprised.
Peking duck, what a coincidence.
Nan Qiao entered the private room and saw Li Yehan warming cups and utensils for her.
“Qiaoqiao, the Peking duck will be served soon.
Secretary Zhao says that this place is famous and the taste is quite good.”
Sitting down, Nan Qiao watched as Li Yehan, as if by magic, produced a bouquet of ninety-nine roses bundled together.
Nan Qiao was startled, dazzled by the flowers, and even more surprised by Li Yehan’s gesture.
“Why did you buy flowers?”
“Flowers suit a beauty.”
Li Yehan said this with a shy expression, surprisingly, making Nan Qiao really want to touch his head.
“Li Yehan, are you being shy?”
Li Yehan reverted back to his bossy self within a second, “Let’s eat.”
The waiter ca in, placed the Peking duck on the table, and served the other dishes.
Li Yehan put on gloves, rolled up a Peking duck wrap, and brought it to Nan Qiao’s mouth, “Ah, have so Peking duck.”
Li Yehan also opened his mouth slightly at the “ah”, his nose taking in the aroma of the roasted duck, his eyes admiring his handso, extraordinary face—truly a feast for the eyes.
Nan Qiao opened her mouth and ate the Peking duck roll Li Yehan had offered.
The Peking duck tasted good; it was really delicious.
Li Yehan made another five rolls for Nan Qiao, and after she finished the last one, she said, “Don’t roll anymore, you eat too.”
Li Yehan took off his gloves and picked up his chopsticks to serve Nan Qiao so dishes.
Just as Nan Qiao was about to speak, a familiar voice rang in her ear.
This voice made Nan Qiao gesture for Li Yehan to be quiet with a shush.
Li Yehan indulgently nodded, quietly serving Nan Qiao food and eating together.
anwhile, in the private room next door.
Xiao Ma poured water for He Li while muttering, “Have you pledged your allegiance to Nan Qiao?
Your actions in the conference room today got quite a few people talking.”
“I just want everyone to see how I perform in front of Nan Qiao.
Rong Yan has taken ti off, and that workaholic unexpectedly taking a leave ans he won’t be coming back anyti soon.
I’m going to take this opportunity to gain the right to design clothes and to get a promotion and a raise.”
Xiao Ma gave a thumbs up, “Lili, that’s brilliant.
You’re right, with Rong Yan not coming to work, you’ll have your chance to shine.”
He Li lifted her chin proudly and confidently.
“I’ll be even more diligent in the future, showing Nan Qiao my capabilities.
What Rong Yan can do, I can do too!
And what he can’t do, I can do even better!
That Nan Qiao is just too good to Rong Yan, I suspect Nan Qiao has a crush on Rong Yan.”
Xiao Ma spat out his water abruptly.
“Lili, are you sure your intelligence is correct?
Nan Qiao having a crush on Rong Yan?
She’s not bad-looking herself!”
He Li: “Why wouldn’t it be correct?
It’s a woman’s intuition.
Rong Yan is always following Nan Qiao around, pretending to be naïve to gain favor—I can’t stand to watch his despicable behavior.”
Xiao Ma was taken aback, still thinking He Li’s claim was questionable, “Nan Qiao shouldn’t need to have a crush on Rong Yan, right?”
“I’m a woman, don’t you trust my intuition?
Rong Yan and Nan Qiao are probably dating.
I knew it; they’re together, having so office romance, treating us like fools.”
Xiao Ma pondered heavily while eating Peking duck, discussing this matter with He Li.
After finishing their al, Xiao Ma left with He Li.
Nan Qiao and Li Yehan had remained silent, just quietly eating their al.
It wasn’t until after the two had left that Nan Qiao realized the private rooms were divided but not soundproof at all.
“These two people are such gossips, to talk about behind my back like that.”
Nan Qiao turned around and bumped into Li Yehan.
Li Yehan looked down at her from above, his eyes probing, scrutinizing every expression on Nan Qiao’s face, “She said you have a crush on Rong Yan?
You two are dating?
Is he your boyfriend?”
Nan Qiao: “…”
Was Li Yehan feeling jealous?
“Not at all, they are just spouting nonsense.
My relationship with Rong Yan is strictly professional, nothing about boyfriends.
None of their words hold any truth.”
Li Yehan gently pinched Nan Qiao’s chin, forcing her gaze to et his.
Li Yehan lowered his head and kissed her lips, as if his actions were telling Nan Qiao who her real boyfriend was.
