Blake did not want to be too far away from Yue Qing, but he could clearly feel Yue Qing’s anger. He could only move unwillingly and complain, “Qing, what you’re doing is very unfair to me.”
When Yue Qing heard Blake address him, his head suddenly hurt.
He held his forehead with one hand and took a deep breath. “Mr. Fu…”
”Call me Fu Chen.” Blake’s eyes lit up as he looked at Yue Qing with deep affection.
Yue Qing’s face tensed up. He ignored Blake’s reminder and continued, “The company is mine, and the assistant was invited by me. As an uninvited guest, you should at least be polite.”
Blake thought that he should soften Yue Qing and not argue with him. Thus, he immediately sat up straight and promised seriously, “Qing, I think what you said makes sense. I will respect you in the future.”
Yue Qing thought that Blake was persuaded by him. “I have a meeting in a while.”
Blake’s expression became dejected. He stood up sadly. “Then… I’ll leave first.”
”Take care.” Yue Qing called for his female assistant and asked her to send Blake out of the company.
Blake walked to the door and suddenly stopped. He turned around to look at Yue Qing, causing Yue Qing’s heart to tighten slightly.
This big shot would not go back on his word, right?
”You…” Yue Qing saw Blake smile at him. The smile was too bright and beautiful, and it actually dazzled his eyes.
His heart started to beat violently, but when he came back to his senses, Blake was nowhere to be seen.
The door was already closed.
He was the only one in the office.
Yue Qing pressed his temples and continued to work. Half an hour later, the female assistant came to invite him to the meeting room.
It was also time to get off work after the meeting ended.
Yue Qing prepared to return to the office first and leave after settling the final work.
The female assistant followed closely behind him. It was no different from their usual interaction. However, he was a little frustrated as he listened to the female assistant’s high heels stepping on the floor.
”You can get off work first,” Yue Qing said to the female assistant.
The female assistant said anxiously, “President Yue, I can accompany you.”
”No need.” Yue Qing’s attitude was very cold.
The female assistant thought that Yue Qing suddenly asked her to leave work early, which was a sign that he was holding a grudge. It was possible that the foreign man had found fault with her.
She said in a panic, “President Yue, what did I do wrong? I promise to do the work you arranged well, there won’t be any mistakes.”
Yue Qing stopped and looked in the direction of the office. He gradually frowned.
The female assistant was still expressing her loyalty to Yue Qing. Her voice was soft, and it made people’s hearts ache. “President Yue, you can’t trust people outside of the company. I have always been…”
She suddenly felt a deep gaze on her, and she could not help but shudder.
So, Blake had returned.
Yue Qing’s gaze landed on the bag in Blake’s hand.
This could not be takeout, right?
”Qing, you must be hungry. I bought something you like to eat.” Blake strode over to Yue Qing’s side and pushed aside the female assistant who was already at the back.
The female assistant was not willing and immediately said, “Sir, you should respect President Yue’s work. During office hours…”
There was a bottle of drink in front of her.
Blake shook the bottle in his hand and smiled gently and cordially. “This beautiful lady, a fragrant drink suits you the best.”
The female assistant looked at Blake’s handsome face and blushed. When she took the bottle, she pouted and expressed her gratitude.
Yue Qing was usually cold and hard to get in touch with, but this foreign friend seemed to be very considerate.
If only she could be with these two men…
The female assistant was only thinking about her fantasy. When she looked up again, Blake and Yue Qing were already gone. When she looked down at the drink in her hand, she immediately clenched the bottle in anger.
Was it a bottle of green tea[1]?
Was Blake implying something?
Yue Qing looked at Blake with dissatisfaction and said stiffly, “Why are you back?”
Blake placed all the takeout in the bag on the sofa table. When he looked at Yue Qing again, the greed in his eyes could not wait to spill out. Yue Qing was so shocked that he instinctively stepped back, wanting to avoid Blake.
”Qing, let’s eat first.” Blake saw Yue Qing putting up a defensive stance and immediately put away his emotions that he almost could not hide and gently coaxed Yue Qing.
Yue Qing looked at Blake, and when his gaze fell on the takeout on the table. He was stunned again.
All of it was his favorite food.
How was this possible?
Could it be that his mother told Blake?
Yue Qing’s heart sank. He thought that he should find an opportunity to have a good talk with his mother. He could not let Blake confuse his family.
Blake observed Yue Qing’s every expression. Even if he acted gentlemanly and decent, it would not change his possessiveness toward his partner.
He was like a wild beast waiting for its prey to let down its guard.
”Qing, is there anything you’re not satisfied with? I’ve tried my best,” Blake said aggrievedly.
Yue Qing felt goosebumps all over her body. He gritted his teeth and said, “There’s nothing I’m not satisfied with. Let’s eat first.”
Blake’s expression changed again. He smiled and accompanied Yue Qing to dinner. At the same time, he was thinking of how to get more information about Yue Qing from Jiang Li.
