When she arrived at the company, Xiao Ying saw the woman waiting in her office and greeted her with a smile. “Sister Wen.”
Sister Wen was the boss of this investment company and was also the woman who had jumped into the lake and had almost died.
At that time, she was like a resentful woman who was no different from a living dead and had no vitality at all. But now, she seemed to have been reborn. Her makeup was exquisite and she was dressed professionally. When she went out, everyone called her Sister Wen respectfully.
Sister Wen was very grateful to Xiao Ying for helping her walk out of a failed marriage and regain her confidence.
As a result, she liked Xiao Ying very much and would let her handle any good projects.
“Sister Ying, I have a gas igniting project in my hands. Prepare yourself, we’ll go over to see the place in two days’ time.”
Xiao Ying nodded and asked, “Where?”
“Burma.”
Hearing that word, Xiao Ying’s heart skipped a beat.
Seeing that Xiao Ying didn’t look too good, Sister Wen asked in confusion, “What’s wrong? Are you feeling unwell?”
Xiao Ying bit her lip, not knowing how to explain it to Sister Wen.
“Sister Ying, if this project can be done well, our company can be listed successfully. It’s very important to me.” Sister Wen held Xiao Ying’s hand. “Only if you fight alongside me will I have the confidence to win this project!”
Xiao Ying looked at Sister Wen. “Which company are you working with?”
“LY Corporation.”
Xiao Ying had heard of this corporation before. If they could work with such a large corporation, it would indeed allow the company to grow in the future.
…
That night.
During dinner, Xiao Ying told Tang En and Wan Bao about her business trip.
“I might have to stay there for a month.” Sister Wen’s suggestion was that she could bring Wan Bao and the nanny along since it was almost time for summer vacation. That way, she would not have to be separated from Wan Bao and could work at ease.
Sister Wen’s suggestion was quite good. If it was another country, Xiao Ying would not have hesitated.
But that was Long Ming’s country!
What would she do if she accidentally bumped into him?
“Mommy, Papa and I will go with you!” Wan Bao did not want to be separated from Mommy for too long. She looked at Xiao Ying with bright eyes, full of anticipation.
Tang En put down the knife and fork in his hand and wiped the milk stain by Wan Bao’s lips. “I’m fine either way.”
Seeing that Xiao Ying was silent, Wan Bao pouted her lips and acted cute in front of Xiao Ying. “Mommy, Mommy, bring us there! I promise that I won’t be naughty or mischievous and will be a good baby!”
Xiao Ying hated it the most when the little fellow acted coquettishly in front of her. Once she acted coquettishly, she would forget all her principles.
“Then let’s go together!”
Long Ming was busy every day and would go abroad from time to time. How could there be such a coincidence? If she went over, she would probably not meet him!
…
Three days later.
When they arrived at their destination, LY Corporation sent someone to pick them up.
LY Corporation had arranged for them to stay in a resort villa.
Xiao Ying and Tang En had brought Wan Bao and Sister Wen arranged for a villa for the family of three.
Coming to an unfamiliar and beautiful environment, Wan Bao was extremely curious and excited.
“Senior, Sister Wen and I will be meeting with the LY Corporation’s project representative tonight. I’ll leave Wan Bao to you.”
Before Tang En could say anything, he heard Wan Bao laughing. “Mommy, don’t worry. I will accompany Papa.”
Xiao Ying did not know whether to laugh or cry. She touched Wan Bao’s head. “You have to listen to Papa obediently. Do you understand?”
Wan Bao pouted. “I’m obedient every day!”
…
At seven o’clock in the evening.
Xiao Ying followed Sister Wen to LY Corporation’s project department.
There were several people sitting in the meeting room. Xiao Ying walked in and was slightly stunned when she saw the woman sitting at the head of the table.
It was Lou Lan.
When Lou Lan saw Xiao Ying, she smirked slightly, her exquisitely made-up face expressionless.
After the staff of the two companies introduced themselves to each other, they sat down and started the meeting.
Xiao Ying did not know if she was hallucinating, but throughout the meeting, she could feel Lou Lan’s gaze on her from time to time.
An hour later, the meeting was paused.
Xiao Ying went to the washroom.
Coming out of the cubicle, Xiao Ying walked over when she saw the woman touching up her makeup in front of the sink. “Miss Lou.”
Lou Lan glanced at Xiao Ying through the mirror. “Miss Tang, I have a question that I would like you to answer.”
“Miss Lou, please speak.”
“What was your relationship with Long Ming in the past?”
Seeming to have guessed that Lou Lan would ask about her relationship with Long Ming, Xiao Ying smirked slightly and replied, “Miss Lou, you’re his fiancée. What you want is his present and future. Why do you care about his past relationship with other women? What’s so important about it?”
Looking at Xiao Ying, who was frank and did not show much emotion at the mention of Long Ming, Lou Lan’s worried heart was relieved.
Although he had only interacted with Xiao Ying for a short hour, from her speech, professionalism and bearing, she could tell that she was not a flirtatious slut.
Lou Lan nodded. “Miss Tang is right. What’s the point of dwelling on the past? After all, I’m his fiancée now and will become his consort in the future.”
Xiao Ying smiled and said nothing more.
It was not that she did not understand what Lou Lan meant. She was reminding her that she was the one who would be Long Ming’s future consort!
Xiao Ying had never thought of becoming Long Ming’s Princess Consort. When she heard Lou Lan declaring her sovereignty, she was naturally not too disappointed.
“I hope you can bring him happiness!”
“I will.” Lou Lan finished touching up her makeup and left the washroom arrogantly.
…
After leaving LY Corporation, Sister Wen was a little disappointed.
Xiao Ying asked repeatedly before Sister Wen told her, “Miss Lou refused to work with our company and asked us to leave as soon as possible.”
Xiao Ying’s heart skipped a beat.
It was obvious that Lou Lan was not targeting Sister Wen but her.
She had already expressed her attitude to Lou Lan in the washroom, but Lou Lan had still taken some action to prevent her from having any more interactions with Long Ming!
Xiao Ying had always been a person who separated her work from private matters. She did not want to affect Sister Wen and the company’s growth.
“Sister Wen, leave this to me!”
…
Xiao Ying got Lou Lan’s number from Sister Wen and called to meet Lou Lan the next day.
Lou Lan kept saying that she was busy with work and did not have time to see her. As such, Xiao Ying went to LY Corporation and waited for two days.
However, the front desk told Xiao Ying that Lou Lan had not come to LY Corporation for two days.
LY Corporation belonged to Lou Lan’s grandfather’s family. Lou Lan usually had to deal with Lou Corporation’s matters and did not come to LY Corporation often.
After waiting for another day with no success, Xiao Ying received a call from Tang En.
Tang En’s voice sounded a little anxious. “Junior, where are you?”
“What happened… What?” Xiao Ying suddenly raised her voice and rushed out without waiting for Lou Lan.
She rushed to the road, wanting to flag down a taxi, but she almost collided with a black sedan.
In the back of the car, Long Ming was looking at some documents when the car braked suddenly. He leaned forward and glanced at the driver with his cold eyes. “What is it?”
