When Shen An Na and Hua Zhao arrived at the Shen Society's building to see if the CEO Li Yang had dropped by to pick up his new bodyguard, they ca across a sight. The two of them weren't expecting to see an argunt unfold in the office.
Or a rather one-sided one.
"You're too pretty—and it's unnatural!" Mou Gu gestured wildly at Ying Yue He. "Your skin is like way too clear and your pores are too small, heck it's like I'm staring at a mirror now. This is not natural I tell you."
Ying Yue He narrowed her eyes at him, "I should be thanking you, but that also sounds like an insult in so way. Or you're trying to say that you have flawless skin even while you cook using a grill with all the smoke clogging your face."
"Seriously, you bought so kind of expensive tea at Yuan's Shop and then gave it to her?"
Li Yang shook his head, "No." The CEO glanced at his secretary, who took the chance to glance down at the floor.. He didn't exactly know if Ying Yue He was now actually aware of what was happening—the truth of the matter about the cultivators and everything, because the man in front of them also hadn't explicitly said it.
Instead, the man was dropping hints about how this was 'unnatural'.
The CEO was keeping one ear and listening to the conversation, but he was also eyeing the young woman sitting beside Mou Gu. She looked bored and was tapping her fingers on the desk, not even actually paying attention, until she looked up and t his gaze. "Ah, does Mister need sothing from Taiga?"
She was talking to herself in third person.
But it wasn't as if that was the strangest thing about her—peculiar, but her looks were also sothing. He already thought that the pink-haired cook beside her was an oddity, but there was a vibrant and glowing aura to her. "No, not yet. But you are the one that has been assigned to ?" He didn't exactly want to give any kind of strange idea to his secretary just sitting beside him.
Taiga gave him a smile, and there was a distinctive sharpness to her fangs.
"Uh… we're back?" Sobody finally said.
"Oh my, An Na and Zhao are back!" Taiga leapt up to her feet and with a speed that might have been in a blink of an eye—the girl threw herself into Shen An Na's arms. "I was bored while you were gone—is that really the man I'm supposed to work with? He looks boring."
"Pfft, seems like your charms don't always work, Mister CEO." The Panda said after deciding to reveal itself in his vision once again. It now usually took the chance to appear only to give so gripes or say sothing with so derision.
Li Yang looked back to see the two who had arrived, and he gave a short nod in greeting, "Good evening and pardon the intrusion, sothing ca up and I had to bring my secretary here."
"Yikes," Hua Zhao scratched the back of his head, "It's like the bunny incident all over again."
Shen An Na waved a hand at him and then smiled at Ying Yue He, "Please make yourselves comfortable here… it's a little discomforting to hear about it at first, but the truth will set you free, Miss."
If anyone were to hear of it right now without a clue on what she was alluding to, then it would cause problems… if Li Yang had to be honest, even with context—it still sounded weird. Almost suspicious. But the woman looked sincere.
"Ah… I'm not exactly sure what uh, ideas you guys converse here… but I'm here to get more of the tea that my boss brought?" the Secretary finally said.
"Huh?" Shen An Na blinked.
"Wait, she drank the tea… now that you ntion it, there's a certain glow to her skin." Hua Zhao nodded at Mou Gu. "What stage is she in now?"
"Skin Refining, it always does wonders—not fairy-like yet, but still, I'd say she's on par with so models and those with regular skin treatnts. Not to ntion very thick too."
"Hey, my face is not thick! But as for the others… can you stop ssing around and just tell what exactly you're talking about, Mou Gu?" Ying Hue He clasped her face, "I'm not doing anything special with my skin, but I do admit that I… I did drink so of my boss' tea before."
"Wait, sa cup?"
"No!"
The CEO blinked at the aghast refusal, her red face and rembered the Panda's words about an 'indirect kiss'... he really didn't see it that way. Although it was slightly amusing to see her red-faced and flustered. "I wouldn't have minded if you did."
"Woah, that line is smooth."
"Shut it, Mou Gu!" His secretary glanced at Li Yang's way and dipped her head, "I'd really like to purchase one now if possible. This is so kind of health networking company, right?"
"Uhhh…"
"So new master class?"
Li Yang sighed and shook his head, while the laughter of the Panda finally erged in the background. This is what they got for not telling it to her straight—she ca up with sothing in the realm of possibility, but it was still far-fetched. The CEO turned to her and looked his secretary in the eye, "Miss He."
"What is it, boss?" She had an awkward smile on her face.
"You're now a cultivator."
"... Eh?"
He cleared his throat and motioned to her face, "The reason why Mou Gu keeps complinting your skin, is because you've drunk a spiritual tea that made it that way." She wasn't passed out or in hysteria, but he couldn't exactly call this a successful conversation.
"That's a really strange way to say that I have better skin now." She coughed, "I an I am having less sleep nowadays, but you're all ssing with , right?"
"No."
A small laugh escaped her throat, "Ah, Mister Li… you never really minced words, do you?" She didn't pass out at this mont, but she didn't look completely put together or lucid either.
—-—-
Author Note: Yes, "You're a Wizard, Harry" kind of incident. I may have been the only one who wanted to force it out of this chapter and the CEO's lips *cough* so sotis, you'll read sothing that'll make you cringe and I'll be like 'For the s!' I'm both sorry and not-so-sorry. Phew, writing is a little mind draining so infusing humor is nice... at least for . xD See ya guys tomorrow
