Chapter 286: Chapter 0286: Presenting Wife with Borrowed Flowers_1
“If I told you in advance, where would the surprise be?” Ye Xiong pointed to the fiery red roses and asked, “So, do you like them?”
Stay reserved, absolutely reserved.
Never show excitent.
“Not bad,” Yang Xinyi said, pretending to be calm.
Lu i and Su Qing could hardly believe their ears.
They knew President Yang’s temperant all too well.
For her to say “not bad,” what did that an?
It ant that President Yang had already accepted the man in front of her; otherwise, she definitely wouldn’t have answered like that.
Recalling the way they’d ridiculed Ye Xiong just monts ago made Lu i so embarrassed she almost wished for a hole to crawl into.
“This is so humiliating, let’s go!” Su Qing was even more embarrassed, dragging Lu i away in a hurry.
“It’s all your fault, stirring up so much trouble, now we’re finished.” The thought of trying to steal President Yang’s boyfriend made Su Qing feel like dying.
“How was I supposed to know he was President Yang’s boyfriend?” Lu i whispered back.
“I’m dood, President Yang will definitely fire .”
“Don’t worry, President Yang keeps work and personal matters separate, she wouldn’t do such a thing.”
…
From a distance, they could still hear the two won quietly arguing.
Hearing their conversation made Ye Xiong couldn’t help but laugh to himself.
“What are you laughing at?” Yang Xinyi asked.
“Nothing,” Ye Xiong quickly suppressed his smile.
“Don’t you feel a great sense of accomplishnt? Just standing here gets you beautiful girls delivered to your doorstep; isn’t that feeling exhilarating?” Yang Xinyi continued to ask.
Unexciting? Yeah, right!
“I was just smiling because you looked happy,” Ye Xiong lied through his teeth.
Yang Xinyi had also heard what had been said earlier, and she knew a bit about Lu i’s character; she was surely trying to play matchmaker for him.
“That girl just now, I know her, she’s from the administration departnt, nad Su Qing, quite a few boys are chasing after her, what do you think, want to give it a try?” Yang Xinyi asked tentatively.
“I have a wife, no matter how pretty they are, I won’t think of anything else,” Ye Xiong said, looking serious.
“I don’t mind. After all, you have so many won around you, one more or one less doesn’t make a difference to ,” Yang Xinyi said.
Could such good fortune be true?
Could it be that my wife has co to her senses, ready to accept a polyamorous arrangent?
Very quickly, he saw the hidden fury in Yang Xinyi’s eyes.
She was setting a trap for him!
He could imagine that, if Ye Xiong showed any sign of happiness, when they went ho that evening, not to ntion getting into his wife’s bed, even staying in her room for a night would be impossible.
So, he replied with upstanding sincerity, “Wife, don’t test anymore, I’m not that man I used to be; apart from you and Sister Hua, I won’t get involved with any other won.”
“Who’d believe that,” Yang Xinyi huffed.
However, she was visibly much happier. Won are like that; no matter whether the man’s words are true or false, they just sound pleasing to hear.
It was the end of the workday, and people from Xinyi Group were coming and going. It was the first ti they saw Yang Xinyi chatting so happily and freely with a man, and by the look of it, it was clear they were in a romantic relationship.
The n were green with envy.
“How did your mission go?” Yang Xinyi suddenly asked.
“I failed,” Ye Xiong sighed.
Thinking about this mission weighed heavily on him.
Especially because of Li Xiangxiang’s death.
Out of nowhere, maybe from so newfound courage, he suddenly embraced Yang Xinyi.
The incident with Li Xiangxiang couldn’t be allowed to repeat with Yang Xinyi. If soone dared to hurt her, he would make sure they paid a severe price.
Yang Xinyi was flustered.
She knew what this guy was capable of, having tried to pull a fast one in the past, but it had always been when just the two of them were together. She never imagined he would embrace her in public.
Never mind a public embrace, Yang Xinyi hadn’t even held hands with a man in front of others.
This was right at the company’s entrance!
And he hugged her in public.
After several unsuccessful attempts to push him away, Yang Xinyi resigned herself to her fate.
The onlookers then exploded into chatter.
“My god, the goddess is being embraced.”
“Who is that guy, to have earned President Yang’s favor?”
“Damn it, the goddess is being forced into a hug.”
“Let go of President Yang, let do it.”
Countless whispers filled the air, with each man feeling incredibly indignant. Watching the icy beauty, their dream lover, being held, none could feel at ease.
“A fresh flower stuck in cow dung.”
“The pri rib has been snagged by the pig.”
Yang Xinyi’s face burned with embarrassnt, unable to push him away or escape, she ended up pleading.
“Ah Xiong, there are too many people here, I’m begging you, can you wait until we get ho to hug ?” Seeing the looks from her employees, Yang Xinyi felt close to collapsing!
She could just imagine tomorrow’s office gossip headline: President Yang passionately embraces a man at the company’s entrance.
Years of authority she had built up in the company, all ruined.
“Then let’s go ho and take our ti embracing,” Ye Xiong finally let her go.
Too embarrassed to stay, Yang Xinyi hurried towards the parking lot.
Once in the car, her face was still burning hot.
Too embarrassing, a public embrace, sothing like this happening to her—unthinkable.
Now her reputation was completely destroyed.
“It’s all your fault, all your doing,” she accused.
Once Ye Xiong got in, Yang Xinyi’s face reddened like a little girl’s, punching him lightly as she scolded, “How can you be so shaless, embracing soone without their consent, and in front of so many people.”
“It was just a hug, is it really worth such a big reaction?” Ye Xiong took the car keys from her hand, started the car, and continued, “On Valentine’s Day, so many couples participate in public kissing contests and nobody says a word, yet you’re so conservative.”
“They are couples, of course, it’s different.”
“You are my wife, even closer than a couple!”
“Who’s your wife? We’re clearly divorced. Besides, our marriage was just a paper agreent, I don’t want others to know about it. Being with you for a while and then not able to marry you, have you ever considered how I feel?”
At this, Yang Xinyi’s eyes grew red.
Ye Xiong’s heart ached, and he spoke in a softer tone, “Don’t you understand? By embracing you in front of everyone, I wanted to tell the world that you, Yang Xinyi, are my, Ye Xiong’s, woman. That you already have a boyfriend, your heart belongs to soone, so that no clueless man would bother you anymore.”
Hearing this, Yang Xinyi’s anger subsided considerably.
“Tonight, I’ll take you out to dinner, then we can go jewelry shopping. Think about what you want to buy, okay?” Ye Xiong said.
These words started to cheer Yang Xinyi up.
She wasn’t short on money, but a gift from a boyfriend carried a different value.
“Where shall we go for dinner?” Ye Xiong asked.
“The place we ate at for the first ti.”
Yang Xinyi didn’t specify the location; she wanted to see if this man had forgotten everything.
Of course, Ye Xiong rembered. Turning the steering wheel, he headed for Wangyue Villa.
Won, no matter how rational, always have an emotional side. If Ye Xiong couldn’t even rember where they first had dinner, it wouldn’t just be a matter of no bed to sleep in tonight—it might an no house to enter at all.
