Once Ye Yan confirmed this, his expression immediately looked troubled.
He did not quite remember clearly everything that had happened the night before due to his drunkenness. From the bits and pieces of memories in her mind, he puzzled them together and yet, he still could not figure out the entire story.
As Ye Yan thought of this, he felt even more headache. Darn it! How could he have committed such a low level of mistake?
He went out to get himself drunk immediately after seeing the intimacy between Mu Tingfeng and Zhao Youlin. While his mind was in an unconscious state, he remembered that he and a woman…
On top of that, he did not even have the slightest bit of impression about the woman whom he had a fling with yesterday night.
He could not recall her look nor her figure. All he could remember was the person’s faint temperature and her smell, as well as… a bizarre sense of belonging.
Who was that woman? Why did she disappear so quietly after having sex with him? She had even erased the traces of her existence. What exactly was her purpose in doing so?
Was it real that she simply did not care about their one-night stand, or was it because she had already held something of him which she could use against him in the near future to threaten him?
A string of questions popped out in Ye Yan’s mind. His troubled expression grew increasingly dark.
At that time, unbeknownst to him, just when he was still caught in a dilemma if he should find out the woman who had taken the advantage of him while he was at a disadvantageous state and robbed him of his virginity, the person, who was the subject of his various speculations about their one-night stand, had already decided to pay the price for her unrequited love for him over the years at that night. She had decided to put a full stop to her own first love.
This had also caused a certain one to regret his own deed. Of course, all this would be the afterthoughts.
After Zhao Youlin attended Su Qing’s son’s full moon ceremony banquet, her life resumed normal peace.
No. To be precise, there had been some changes since then. For instance, ever since that day, a bouquet of ninety-nine foxtail lilies… always appeared on time at the general manager’s office daily.
The general manager’s office once again became the focus of the entire company due to the presence of this bouquet of ninety-nine foxtail lilies. The bouquet which was used to court her appeared at the office on time daily and had become an after-dinner talk among the company’s staff.
However, what caught them by surprise the most was, this time, the general manager did not simply toss the bouquet into the rubbish bin like she used to do several times before whenever she saw the flowers. In fact, she personally held the bouquet and entered her office.
Moreover, according to informed sources, one day, a staff member went into the general manager’s office to report on work, he coincidentally saw the general manager was sitting in front of her office desk and… she was arranging the flowers in a serious manner!
At first, not many of them believed his words. Each of them even cracked their head in order to find an excuse to sneak around the general manager’s office.
As a result, a group of them happily ran into the general manager’s office to verify the informed testimony. Indeed, the general manager had really arranged the flowers and even placed them at the most conspicuous position on her desk!
The entire company was blown away the moment this news was spread.
One had to know that, a long time ago, the staff in the company had already noticed that the general manager had been disdainful over the never-ending red roses and blue enchantresses that were delivered to her by her admirer who had been pursuing her madly. Each time, when those flowers were sent upstairs, they would immediately be tossed inside the rubbish bin.
However, now, the general manager did not throw these flowers into the trash. Instead, she also personally arranged them and placed them in the most prominent position. Apparently, she was showing off her love, okay?!
In other words, had the general manager finally accepted the pursuit of that mysterious man? Indeed, the saying about even a tough woman would give in to a man if he pursued her relentlessly. Even someone like the general manager had finally succumbed to that person under his persevering pursuit.
The moment this incident was spread, the male staff who had secretly admired Zhao Youlin thumped their chests in disappointment. If only they knew that this method would work on the general manager, they would have strongly pursued her using the same tricks and would have won the beauty’s affection.
On the other hand, the female staff in the company was interested in knowing who the mysterious man was whose love had been accepted by the general manager. They wondered if the mysterious man was the third young master of the Ye family, who used to have meals with the general manager, or the president of the Mu Feng Group, who had hugged and kissed the general manager inside the elevator in public, or it could be some other talented and handsome young men.
At that moment, Zhao Youlin had no idea that her unintentional behavior had caused a stir in the company once again. The reason she had received the flowers delivered over to her was because this time, Mu Tingfeng had finally sent flowers that suited her preference. Also, it was purely because she was enjoying the thrill and fun of being courted.
Not long after Su Qing’s son’s full moon banquet was over, Zhao Youlin received the news that a certain family’s company was declared bankrupt. It was the same family who had been hostile and rude to her and Joy at the banquet that day. Their families were torn apart. Even the woman’s family was dragged down by them.
The woman’s so-called powerful brother-in-law was exposed to have received bribes. Soon, he collapsed.
Zhao Youlin naturally knew the mastermind behind the public curtain. She did not sympathize with that family nor hold any grudges against them. She thought that there was no need to be angry about these kinds of people.
However, even if she was not angry with them, it also did not mean that she had not taken the matter to heart. She definitely was moved when someone had stood up for her and her son.
As such, Zhao Youlin’s good feelings for Mu Tingfeng had slightly elevated because of this incident.
However, very soon, the occurrence of another matter quickly pulled Zhao Youlin out of her state of indulgence in being pursued by her admirers.
Today, when Zhao Youlin was having a meeting in her company, suddenly, she received a call. Zhao Youlin furrowed her eyebrows. She signaled to the rest to continue the meeting while she walked out of the meeting room and answered the call.
In less than two minutes, Zhao Youlin returned to her meeting room once again. She left a line of message to the stunned crowd, “That’s all for today’s meeting. I’ll have Secretary Xiao send out the email to all of you regarding the remaining contents of the meeting. I have to handle something, so I’ll make a move first.” The next moment, she left.
The moment Zhao Youlin departed, the meeting room was turned into an instant uproar. Everyone was making speculations if the person whom Zhao Youlin had picked up the call was her mysterious boyfriend.
After all, not many people were capable of driving the serious and responsible general manager to put her work aside at once and leave the company.
In fact, right after Zhao Youlin left the company, she went straight to the Zhao family’s residence. Under Uncle Zhao’s signal, she immediately rushed over to the former master’s room and asked nervously, “Grandpa, why are you calling me back in such a hurry? Has anything happened?”
Before Zhao Youlin finished speaking, she saw the former master of the house gradually turn his head around. She was greeted by the sight of glee and excitement that had appeared on his face which she had never seen before. “Youlin, the identification result is… out!”
