"Uh-huh~" Luo Yishan nodded like a pounding garlic, her eyes beaming with excitement.
Yuan Meng lifted her arm and pulled Luo Yishan, who was three or four centimeters shorter than her, into the crook of her arm. She readily agreed, "Sure, I'll let you see tonight what a silly, innocent little white rabbit is all about."
"Aren't you going back to the Ling family tonight?" Luo Yishan asked in surprise.
The bet wasn't over yet. If she didn't go back for the night now, the risk was too high. What if she got exposed...
Yuan Meng stifled a laugh and said, "I told Yu Luqing that today is my mother's death anniversary. She's superstitious and thinks I'm inauspicious, so she won't let me go back tonight."
"Your... mother's... death... anniversary!" Luo Yishan burst out laughing too, full of mischief. "If your mother knew you were out there saying she's already dead, she'd probably die of anger."
"That'd be great," Yuan Meng replied eagerly. "I've already picked out a cemetery for her. It's a feng shui treasure land surrounded by mountains and water. She should be quite satisfied."
Hearing Yuan Meng's words, Luo Yishan immediately raised her hand and clapped a few times.
Excellent, truly excellent.
"Let's go. Hurry up and find a quiet corner. I've got something to tell you," Yuan Meng said, then tapped Luo Yishan on the forehead with her index finger. After that, she wrapped her arm around Luo Yishan's slender waist and walked into the elevator as if she were very familiar with the place.
Ling Qianchen, who was forcefully dragged by the crazy brother Lu Ziyan to Blue Note for his birthday, had just walked into the main entrance of Blue Note when his gaze was completely drawn to the woman in a black suit chatting and laughing merrily in front of him.
This figure...
Why did it look exactly like that stupid little white rabbit at home?
For some unknown reason, this man, who had a physiological aversion to silly, innocent girls, quickened his pace and rushed behind the woman under the surprised gaze of his friend. He grabbed her wrist and said, "Yuan Meng, how come you..."
Before his angry words could be finished, the woman turned around with a look of confusion on her face. Her sharp and charming eyes were like the only hint of coolness in the sweltering summer, piercing deeply into the man's heart through her eyes.
The man's gaze froze.
Why was Ling Qianchen here...!
Yuan Meng, who thought she had everything under control, instinctively went blank in the head. But as a woman who had received special training for years, the panic in her eyes only flashed by. A smile appeared on her charming and gorgeous face as she asked, "Sir, do I know you? Or do you know me?"
No... I don't know...
This man, who was always calm, self - composed, and domineering, had his mind locked by the dazzling light in front of him. His hand was still tightly holding her wrist, but his language system had completely collapsed.
He seemed to hear his own heartbeat...
Noticing his friend's abnormality, Lu Ziyan quickly walked over and introduced, "This is Mr. Ling Qianchen, the current CEO of Multiverse. Qianchen, this lady is Ai Yue, the second boss of Blue Note."
Ai Yue.
Quite a special name.
After all, he was the pride of the business empire. His momentary loss of composure only lasted for a short while. The man regained his usual cold and aloof demeanor. First, he briefly let go of the hand that was holding her wrist, and then he politely reached out his hand towards her. "Ai Yue, what a nice name. Nice to meet you. Please take care of me in the future."
This was truly unprecedented!
Lu Ziyan looked at the abnormal Ling Qianchen in amazement, his jaw almost dropping.
He had grown up with Ling Qianchen since they were in diapers, and he had never seen the ice - like Ling Qianchen take the initiative to reach out his hand to shake someone else's hand, especially when that someone was a woman, and he used such a gentle tone.
Similarly, Yuan Meng was also amazed that Ling Qianchen would talk to her in such a tone. She reached out her hand to shake Ling Qianchen's, who had held her hand before. She felt that the touch of Yuan Meng's hand was the same as Ai Yue's, and she was also afraid that the wound on her hand would easily expose her identity.
In order to win the bet against that bitch Chai Yuyu and avenge her humiliation, she must go back to the Ling family tomorrow. The wound on her hand was neither too serious nor too minor. Even if she applied the best wound medicine from Blue Network, it was impossible to recover completely without a single trace in just one or two days.
Thinking of this, her hand suddenly flew up and gently patted Ling Qianchen's palm in a flash. Then she naturally hid her hand behind her back. Her smiling eyes were shining as she said, "What? The pride of the business empire wants to chat me up? You just grabbed my wrist, and now you want to touch my hand again?"
"... I mistook you for someone else just now. I'm very sorry," Ling Qianchen said apologetically.
Clearly, whether it was her temperament or the way she talked, they were worlds apart. Although their eyebrows and eyes were somewhat similar, it was only a bit. Why did he mistake her back for that delicate and soft little fool?
"Mr. Ling is really not good at flirting, just like the rumors. Even your way of chatting me up is... well, so old - fashioned~" Yuan Meng, who was not afraid of anything, asked with a smile. "Then Mr. Ling, tell me who I look like. Do I look like your wife at home?"
"Uh..." Ling Qianchen never expected that the woman in front of him was so smart and would speak out so bluntly. He closed his eyes and shook his head. "Not really. Ai Yue..." For the first time in his life, this man wanted to skip the tedious formal address and get closer to her as intimately as possible. "Ai Yue is bright and charming. Naturally, she's different from others."
Did that mean that the little white rabbit at home was not as good as her?
Heartless jerk. Was his wife at home really that bad?
So bad that he was out here flirting with other women?
Although... the person this guy clearly wanted to flirt with was actually the same person as his wife at home...
