Chapter 177-1: Yesterday and today
In the early morning of the next day, the skies of the east were painted with the colors of dawn. Yang Chen woke up, and found Liu Mingyu orderly dressed and tying up her hair into a bun.
Seeing Yang Chen sit up with a naked upper body, Liu Mingyu who had just lost her first time didn’t seem embarrassed at all. She gave him a tranquil smile and said, “Previously, I read a magazine that said that when doing that, men exert, while women enjoy. Seeing you sleep so deeply, I feel like that is indeed the case.”
“It doesn’t hurt?” Yang Chen looked strangely at the woman’s butt, for he didn’t hold back last night.
Liu Mingyu shook her head, and self-deprecatingly joked, “I’m already an old lady, what is there to be hurt?”
“I like old ladies.” Yang Chen said with a straight face.
Liu Mingyu giggled, then smacked the bed sheet, “Alright then, time to get up. This hotel provides buffet breakfast, let’s eat then go to work.”
Fifteen minutes later, the two went down to the buffet dining hall. Maple Hotel’s buffet was relatively sumptuous, with numerous Chinese and Western dishes.
Yang Chen took four tea eggs, scooped a bowl of congee, then took two baskets of steamed dumplings, two steamed buns, a plate of vegetables, and a plate of fruit. Then, he started to wolf down his food.
Liu Mingyu only took a plate of salad, and even used the honey mustard salad dressing like a typical young lady.
Yang Chen found this slightly strange, with his brows creased he asked, “Eating just a plate of salad for breakfast? There aren’t enough calories in it. It’s not like you need to lose weight, eat a little more.”
“The salad dressing is sweet, so there are calories. Besides, even if I don’t need to lose weight, I still need to maintain my figure.” Said Liu Mingyu.
Yang Chen firmly placed a peeled tea egg onto her plate, “With the capacity of a man who had touched you all over, I express that you need to get a little fatter.”
Liu Mingyu immediately blushed, she looked left and right to confirm that no one heard, then scolded, “What are you blabbering on about! I’ve already told you yesterday, after that was done, you’re you, and I am me. Do not get involved with each other, other than being colleagues, there’s nothing between us!”
“Could the you and I of yesterday and today be the same? Yesterday’s me, and today’s me, are they still the same to you? Do you know what’s the difference between yesterday’s you and today’s you to me?” Yang Chen asked Liu Mingyu.
Liu Mingyu silently lowered her head.
“Some matters can’t be achieved just by saying it. I think that it’s impossible for you, and even more impossible for me.” Yang Chen conscientiously said.
Liu Mingyu looked up, picked up her silver fork, stabbed it into the tea egg, raised it, and took a bite. While chewing she said, “I give up, I’ll just eat it alright……”
“That’s good then.” With a smile, Yang Chen took a big bite out of the steamed bun.
But halfway through their meal, a familiar and excited voice was heard from behind Yang Chen.
“Mr. Yang?”
Yang Chen turned around, looked at the woman who had suddenly appeared in the dining hall with slight surprise and said, “Miss Tang?”
It was indeed Tang Wan whom he had met a few days ago during the bank robbery. However, Tang Wan had seemed to have changed her hairstyle, her wavy hair had been straightened, and neatly combed back. She wore a well-fitting black suit, with an opening that reached deep down her chest, revealing her light yellow camisole. She dressed incredibly fashionably, and her true age couldn’t be deduced.
“What a coincidence, you’re also staying in this hotel?” Asked Yang Chen.
Tang Wan walked over, and her gaze swept past Liu Mingyu who sat opposite of Yang Chen. With a profound look in her eyes, she smiled and said, “Mr. Yang is truly an eminent yet forgetful person. Previously, you went to the leisure centre with Miss Mo, but haven’t you noticed that this hotel’s name is exactly the same as my leisure centre?”
Only now did Yang Chen remember that the ultra large scale leisure centre owned by Tang Wan also seemed to be called maple. “Miss Tang’s properties are truly everywhere, are you starting work right now?”
Tang Wan shook her head with a smile, “I just happened to be here for an inspection this morning, and never expected to bump into you, Mr. Yang. May I know who this beautiful lady is……”
Liu Mingyu who had noticed the arrival of Tang Wan a long time ago didn’t expect that this graceful upper-class lady was actually acquainted with Yang Chen until they had greeted each other. Liu Mingyu felt a spell of sourness in her heart. After all, all aspects of Tang Wan’s face and figure was only better and no worse in comparison to hers. Most notably was her qualities of gracefulness, nobility, and elegance. Only a rich and noble family could foster such a charisma.
This man was truly sex maniac who had seduced and tainted many flowers, but the ladies still weren’t able to resist him.
However, Liu Mingyu remembered that she was also a woman who had an extramarital affair with him, and it was also she who had requested that they have such a relationship, so she loosened up. Who cares, he was never exclusive to me, what point is there in being jealous? If anything, it would be his unlucky wife that would be jealous……
If she knew that the one she called “unlucky wife” was her immediate superior, the great CEO whom she revered like an idol, Liu Mingyu would probably faint.
Chapter 177-2: Yesterday and today
After getting over this, hearing Tang Wan ask about her, Liu Mingyu gave her a genial smile and stretched a hand out to Tang Wan, “Liu Mingyu, Yang Chen’s colleague.”
“Pleased to meet you, Miss Liu, my name is Tang Wan.” Tang Wan affably shook hands with her.
Yang Chen felt that the mood between them was very weird, but as a man, he couldn’t tell what they was on their minds.
Tang Wan exchanged some pleasantries with Liu Mingyu before turning to Yang Chen to say, “I wasn’t able to express my gratitude to you previously, Mr. Yang. I hope you’re willing to do me the honor of allowing me to treat you to a meal in the future.”
“This… isn’t necessary, Miss Tang is a busy person. Besides, that was no big deal.” Yang Chen felt that it was pretty awkward for him to be with Tang Wan. After all, he failed at seducing her previously, and that event still haunted him.
“To Mr. Yang, it may not be a big deal, but to Tang Wan, that was a matter of life and death. If I had been hurt by those robbers that day, I wouldn’t be standing here today. Mr. Yang, please don’t reject me.” Tang Wan spoke with a resolute tone.
Yang Chen had no excuse to reject, so he agreed.
Tang Wan still wanted to continue inspecting the various aspects of the hotel, so she took her leave. After Yang Chen and Liu Mingyu had their breakfast, they checked out of the room and left the hotel.
On the way to the company, he bought piles of breakfast, and when they were about to arrive at the office, Liu Mingyu asked, “You saved Boss Tang’s life in the past?”
“Yeah, it was just a matter of beating up some robbers, no big deal.” Yang Chen casually stated.
Hero saving the beauty? Wouldn’t there be a follow up romance after this sort of play? Liu Mingyu held herself back for a while, but in the end she couldn’t help asking, “That Miss Tang couldn’t possibly also have that sort of relationship with you, right?”
“What kind of relationship?” While driving, Yang Chen turned and replied with a question.
“The… the kind of relationship we have.” Liu Mingyu stammered with an unclear voice.
Yang Chen bore a weird smile, “Our relationship? I remember that someone previously said that other than being colleagues, there is nothing between us.”
Liu Mingyu was angered to the point of clenching her teeth, “If you don’t want to answer, then forget it!”
“You can drain away your curiosity. It would be impossible for me to say that I never thought of that with Miss Tang, but we’re truly just acquaintances.”
Liu Mingyu silently sighed in relief. This man is incredibly smart on some matters, while he is also a real dud on other matters. Could it be that he doesn’t know that Tang Wan didn’t see him as just an acquaintance?
When the car entered Yu Lei International’s car park, so as to avoid arousing suspicion and unnecessary gossips, Yang Chen drove the car to the highest floor of the car park where relatively few people parked.
But when they got off the car together, Yang Chen suddenly felt a chill on his back. Turning around, he saw the elevator doors to the offices slowly close……
That wasn’t the crux of the problem, the problem was that the person standing in the elevator was like a flawless ice sculpture; it was precisely Lin Ruoxi!
Yang Chen helplessly watched the elevator’s doors close, and Lin Ruoxi’s bone chilling gaze made his pulse quicken.
Oh crap! My luck is too shitty, I bumped into that girl on the top floor, she even caught a glimpse of Liu Mingyu and I getting off the car!
Thinking about how he had stayed out for the night without any reason and how they coincidentally bumped into each other with another woman on his car, Yang Chen had a headache. All of the effort he had spent coaxing her over the last two days had gone down the drain.
Liu Mingyu saw Yang Chen stand there with a bitter smile. Puzzled, she asked, “What’s wrong?”
Yang Chen returned to his senses. With a calm smile he said, “It’s nothing, I was mainly worried about the company’s future development, so I was standing here pondering over which direction to take. You very well know that I’m also an earnest employee.”
