It seemed as if a fixed spell had been cast on her.
Nian Xiaomu sat on the chair and did move at all for an entire minute.
Apart from Yu Yuehan’s earlier sentence of “Zheng Yan loves women”, only a buzzing sound, that came after the shock, remained in her ears.
She stared at Yu Yuehan with her widened eyes and speculated he wasn’t kidding.
The corners of her mouth twitched when she caught sight of the relaxed look on his face.
“Yu Yuehan, you can’t crack jokes like this. Don’t think that I will believe your wild babbles. Trust me when I say that I will give Zheng Yan a call now so that she can confront you!”
“Do you need a cell phone? I can lend it to you.” As Yu Yuehan spoke, he took out his cell phone from his pocket and generously placed it in front of her.
Nian Xiaomu lowered her head and took a glance at it.
Not only did he lend her his cell phone, he even kindly unlocked the screen.
She could give Zheng Yan a call right away as long as she picked up his cell phone…
Nian Xiaomu swallowed her saliva.
His undisturbed attitude was a stark contrast to her extreme fuss over minor matters.
Upon closer comparison, she appeared to be the one who was caught for having an affair.
“Since you already knew that Zheng Yan’s sexual orientation was different from the others, why did you not tell me about it in advance? You even watched as she strutted around with the photograph in front of me? Did you know that I was so p*ssed off by her in the office that I…”
Nian Xiaomu suddenly froze in the middle of her words.
She realized that she had nearly let on to Yu Yuehan how she had nearly drowned in a sea of jealousy.
Just as expected, the corner of the lips of the man in front of her had already curled up into a wide-angle.
They were curled into such a huge angle that they were on the verge of touching his earlobes.
His gaze toward her was not as calm as before and was instead filled with a subtle hint of a smile. She wasn’t sure if she had seen it wrongly, but she actually felt that his current gaze was exceptionally loving.
It seemed like he was about to kiss and hug her with that gaze of his.
When his gaze swept past Nian Xiaomu, her body seemed to have been electrocuted and her entire body turned numb.
Then, the words that were about to leave her mouth turned out to be this.
“I will mark you down on this matter. As the president of a company, you nearly bungled the chance of winning a battle by not revealing this important intelligence!”
“Wasn’t this part of Zheng Yan’s privacy? The competition in the business industry does not include an attack toward one’s sexual preferences.” Yu Yuehan tucked both his hands in his pocket lazily and opened his thin lips.
“Who said that I am using a personal attack? I was only worried that she would fall in love with me since I am so beautiful.” Nian Xiaomu reached out to pat her delicate, tender face. Then, she thought of something and a look of shock filled her eyes.
She twisted her head and looked at the man beside her.
“You mentioned that Zheng Yan does not like you. In that case, why did she come to me to badmouth you? Could she really have fallen in love with me at first sight and wanted me to ditch you so that she could get her hands on me?”
“…”
The more Nian Xiaomu thought of it, the more she felt that this was highly possible.
Turning around, she grabbed onto Yu Yuehan and said, “What else do you know about Zheng Yan? She is a beauty herself, and she is someone who can gather a bunch of men by her side at the snap of her fingers. In that case, she would definitely not fancy an ordinary person. Come to think of it, I am guessing that no one as outstanding as I am has ever appeared beside her. I am in a very dangerous situation!”
“…!”
–
The next day.
With Yu Yuehan’s “statement”, Nian Xiaomu’s heart skipped a beat when the secretary reported to her that Zheng Yan wanted to meet her in private.
She couldn’t simply listen to Yu Yuehan’s side of the story. As such, she instructed the secretary to invite Zheng Yan to her office.
