During a meeting, Xiao Yu's face darkened. His pitch - black eyes dimmed for a moment. Suddenly, he got up and walked out of the meeting room, still on the phone.
"What do you want with her?"
"Uncle, you saw what happened last time. She's my ex - girlfriend. I even told her to wait for me. I said I'd get divorced after I got married first, but... now she's actually seeing another man."
"How do you know?"
Just thinking about this made Chu Beize grind his teeth in anger. "Last time I saw her in a hotel. She was coming out of the elevator with hickeys all over her neck. She must have slept with some random man. It's a pity I didn't see who that guy was. I'm going to find out now."
"I can't help you!"
"Why?" Chu Beize snorted in dissatisfaction. "You helped me last time. Why not this time?"
"Then let me ask you, what exactly do you want with her?"
"She's my girlfriend. Of course I have the right to know where she lives." Chu Beize said this with full confidence.
Xiao Yu said coldly, "If she's your girlfriend, does your fiancée, He Man, know about this?"
Chu Beize seemed to be at a loss for words. "Uncle, don't worry about other things. Just tell me her current address."
"You're my nephew. Of course I have to care about your affairs. Can you at least tell me your reason for looking for her?"
After a moment's pause, Chu Beize said angrily, "Do you know how many years we've been in love? Eight years! A full eight years."
One could feel that Chu Beize was extremely angry. Every word he said seemed to be filled with hatred. "In these eight years, she never let me touch her. It was okay at the beginning of our relationship. I respected her. But after being together for so long, she still wouldn't let me touch her. At most, we'd hold hands. We never even kissed."
"So, you went to a hotel with your classmate?"
Xiao Yu actually knew about that incident. Chu Beize didn't deny it. "Yes. Do you know what it feels like to see and touch someone every day but not be able to have them? I was just not willing to accept it."
"And then?"
"I must have her. No, just sleeping with her once is enough. Otherwise, these eight years would be such a waste." Chu Beize finally said what was on his mind.
Xiao Yu's face immediately sank.
"Even if she breaks up with you and is with another man, you still want to?"
"Yes!" Chu Beize replied loudly, without a hint of shame. "She owes this to me!"
Xiao Yu didn't say a word. Chu Beize pleaded with Xiao Yu again. "Uncle, just this once. You must help me. Ye Yanxi is rejecting my calls and has blocked me. I just called her from a new number, and now she's blocked this number too."
Xiao Yu raised his eyebrows. "Her phone was connected?"
Chu Beize didn't understand what Xiao Yu meant. He was completely confused. Did it matter whether the call got through or not to the current situation?
But he still replied honestly, "I just called, and she answered. The call got through."
"Okay, I see."
Chu Beize thought Xiao Yu had agreed to help him. His mood immediately brightened, and he said cheerfully, "Uncle, if you find out her address, please call me back immediately. I'll be very grateful to you."
Just as he finished speaking happily, before he could get a reply, Xiao Yu hung up the phone.
However, Chu Beize's bad mood from being rebuffed by Ye Yanxi just now immediately cleared up.
After hanging up Chu Beize's call, Xiao Yu immediately dialed Ye Yanxi's number. After a few rings, it was indeed connected.
He had been calling her all morning but couldn't get through. As soon as Chu Beize called, it went through!
Xiao Yu's face was very gloomy.
It was only on the second call that Ye Yanxi answered.
"Why did it take you so long?" His deep voice carried a hint of complaint.
"I just went to the bathroom." Ye Yanxi made up an excuse casually. In fact, she didn't want to answer the call and deliberately ignored it. She thought Xiao Yu wouldn't call again, but unexpectedly, he did.
Xiao Yu wasn't in the mood to question whether she was lying or not. He got straight to the point. "Did Chu Beize just call you?"
"Did you install a bug on me?" She had just hung up the call not long ago, and Xiao Yu called to question her. This made her can't help but suspect.
While Ye Yanxi was rummaging through her body to find the bug, Xiao Yu said slowly, "He just called me."
Judging from Xiao Yu's tone, it seemed that he had some ill intentions. But she could roughly guess what Chu Beize's purpose for looking for her was.
"What did he say to you?" Ye Yanxi frowned.
"He said that after eight years, you've never even kissed him!" Xiao Yu tilted the corner of his mouth slightly. For some reason, his mood immediately improved. "Is this true?"
Ye Yanxi's face immediately burned. She mumbled vaguely, "Sorry, I'm at the company now. I won't answer personal questions."
"Okay, work is over. It's private time now."
"I decide what to do in my private time. I'm hanging up."
Ye Yanxi was eager to hang up the phone, but Xiao Yu's deep voice came out relentlessly from the receiver. "So, your first kiss was given to me, right?"
This time, Ye Yanxi's ear tips turned completely red. She quickly hung up the phone.
Unexpectedly, Xiao Yu didn't seem to be finished today. The phone rang again immediately.
Ye Yanxi held the phone helplessly. She didn't know whether to answer it or not. Finally, she hesitated and answered. "I have to get back to work. If there's nothing else, I'll hang up."
"Tonight, go directly to the basement level and wait for me. We'll go for dinner together."
At this time, after lunch, colleagues were coming in one after another. Afraid that Xiao Yu would call again, Ye Yanxi had no choice but to agree. "I got it. Bye."
Watching a few colleagues walking by chatting and laughing, Ye Yanxi also smiled, looking a bit guilty.
In the afternoon, the workload was twice as much as usual. She was so busy that she didn't even have time to catch her breath. She had long forgotten about her appointment with Xiao Yu. When work was over, she just walked out of the company gate with her colleagues and headed towards the subway station.
She had only walked for a few minutes when the phone rang.
Looking at the incoming call on the screen, Ye Yanxi told her colleagues to go first and then found a quiet place to answer the call.
"Hello?"
"You've been off work for so long. Why haven't you come down yet?" Xiao Yu's voice was filled with anger.
It was only then that Ye Yanxi suddenly remembered. She quickly explained, "Um... I'm outside. I'm already at the subway station."
"Didn't I say we'd go for dinner together tonight?"
Judging from this tone, she didn't dare to admit that she had forgotten. So she just casually made up an excuse without batting an eyelid. "Oh, I'm not feeling well today. I want to go back and rest early."
Xiao Yu's voice softened a bit. "Where are you? I'll come pick you up."
"No need. I..."
"Where are you?"
"..."
"Ye Yanxi, don't make me ask a third time!" Xiao Yu was obviously on the verge of an outburst.
Fine. This was such a narrow - minded and hot - tempered man.
She had no choice but to tell him where she was and then stood there waiting for Xiao Yu to pick her up.
To avoid suspicion and not let her colleagues see her, Ye Yanxi specifically found a relatively secluded corner to stand in.
Looking at the passers - by on the street boredly, Ye Yanxi felt a bit absent - minded. At this time, a ringtone brought her back to reality.
She thought it was Xiao Yu who had arrived and was calling her. But when she looked at the incoming call, it was an unknown number.
She was a bit resistant to unknown numbers now. She thought it might be Chu Beize who was still not giving up, so she just hung up directly.
Just as she was about to block this number, a text message came in. It looked a bit familiar. It was actually from the same number. The text message was very simple: I'm Du Feng, the director of the Foreign Languages Department.
The director of the Foreign Languages Department? What was the name of their department director?
Ye Yanxi thought for a while and then suddenly had an idea. It was indeed Du Feng. It was still summer vacation. Why was the department director calling her?
With this question in mind, Ye Yanxi called back. After the call was connected, she said, "Hello!"
"Are you... Ye Yanxi from the junior year?"
It was a man's voice. Judging from the tone, it seemed to be the same as the voice when he was speaking on the podium. So it must be the department director. After confirming this, Ye Yanxi immediately politely greeted him, "Hello, Director. I'm Ye Yanxi."
"You're a junior this year and you also do Taekwondo?"
Ye Yanxi didn't think much about what the director meant by asking this. She immediately replied, "Yes. I'm a fourth - degree black belt in Taekwondo."
"That's right!" Du Feng's voice seemed to relax. "Here's the thing. The school just received a notice. There's something that requires you to come to school. How about tomorrow? Do you have time?"
Hearing that there was something and she had to go to school, Ye Yanxi felt a bit nervous.
"Director, what's the matter?"
Du Feng smiled. "Don't be nervous. This is a great opportunity. Among all the students in the Foreign Languages Department, they specifically asked for you. You must come tomorrow."
Although Du Feng said it casually, Ye Yanxi still felt a bit uncertain.
"Okay, but I still have to work tomorrow. How about noon?"
"Sure. Then at 12 noon, in the principal's office on the seventh floor. When you come, just go there directly."
"Okay, I'll definitely be there on time."
After hanging up the phone, Ye Yanxi was still thinking about what the director was talking about. Why was he so eager to ask her to go to school?
Just as she was deep in thought, a black Cayenne pulled up by the roadside and honked its horn. Ye Yanxi was startled back to reality.
She turned her head and saw Xiao Yu's car parked there. She first looked around to make sure no one was paying attention, then she quickly rushed towards the car. As soon as she opened the door, she jumped in.
Sitting in the car, she finally let out a sigh of relief. "Fortunately, no colleagues passed by here."
Xiao Yu's face immediately darkened. "Is it so embarrassing to be your boyfriend?"
Ye Yanxi glanced at him. Thinking about the hot topic that had spread throughout the company at noon and that Xiao Yu was still unaware of it, she said slowly, "CEO, you may not know this yet. You've now become the center of gossip in the company during breaks."
"What do you mean?"
"Everyone in the company knows that you... have sexual dysfunction!"
