“Are you very disappointed?” Yu Minglang asked mischievously.
“I think I really like the smell of paint, a whiff brings me immense pleasure. I might as well stay here. You can take Shi Touyu and the others to dinner,” Xiao Qian said provocatively, pretending to lie down. However, there was no way Ming Lang would let the beauty slip away, so he pinched her arm and pulled her up.
“Am I the kind of man who would leave my fiancée in a place like this?”
Shi Touyu nudged Qiao Zhen with her hand, See? Look at how much he cares for his girlfriend!
…Xiao Qian rolled her eyes. This guy was shameless, blatantly bringing up such matters! Only a naive girl like Shi Touyu would be deceived by him!
Of course, he wouldn’t leave her here. He had to take her to watch over the car overnight!
Xiao Qian and Shi Touyu exited through the main entrance, while Yu Minglang and Qiao Zhen retraced their steps. All their skills were put to use in this undertaking.
Jumping down from the pipe, Yu Minglang casually asked Qiao Zhen with one hand in his pocket.
“Hawkeye, where have you arranged for your younger sister to stay?”
“My uncle owns a hotel nearby. I’ll get them a room, invite their roommates to join, and inform the school about the situation. The smell of the paint will linger for a few days,” Qiao Zhen replied thoughtfully.
Look how worried the young boss is, even using his nickname.
“Just book a double room; my Qian Bao has a place to stay.”
As Ming Lang said this, Qiao Zhen paused for a moment, as if understanding something.
“…You… take it easy!”
As expected of the young boss, always one step ahead of everyone else!
With righteous indignation, Yu Minglang clapped Qiao Zhen on the shoulder, “If you don’t want to take it easy, you can too!”
After speaking, he strode away, leaving Qiao Zhen alone, pondering over the young boss’s words, feeling something strange?
Yu Minglang left with Xiao Qian, and as Qiao Zhen prepared to find Shi Touyu, she made a “wait a moment” gesture to him and then quickly sprinted into the dormitory building.
In just a few minutes, she emerged, carrying a bulging bag.
“I almost forgot Benboba and Baboben!” Shi Touyu patted her big bag, her face grinning brightly. Qiao Zhen watched her smile and suddenly thought about what Yu Minglang said—if he didn’t take it easy, what would happen?…
Xiao Qian got into Ming Lang’s car and asked when she saw that Shi Touyu and the others hadn’t followed.
“Aren’t you inviting them to join us for dinner?”
“I’m hungrier than they are.” Yu Minglang’s eyes deepened as he gazed at Xiao Qian earnestly.
This long-awaited feast was too overdue. He had to eat while it was still hot!
Although she knew what would happen next, not finding something to talk about seemed strange.
“Xiao Qiang, how long can you stay this time?” Xiao Qian asked. What she was really concerned about was: How many times do you plan on doing it?
After being pent up for 25 years, she knew very well that releasing all at once would be intense. She was just making conversation.
“I can stay for a few more days, but I’ll only have time for you until tomorrow morning. I’ll be hosting interviews myself tomorrow. The day after that, I’ll take those who passed the test back to the company. One night is enough time.”‘
When she heard his words, a chill ran down Xiao Qian’s spine. The look in his eyes seemed to hold a deeper meaning.
Almost intimidated by his impressive aura, Xiao Qian steadied her thoughts and pretended not to understand his innuendos, asking, “Weren’t you supposed to have only two hours?”
What on earth was she calculating in her mind earlier? Xiao Qian realized that she had made another silly mistake, having even taken into account the driving distance between the school and the nearest hotel.
Rushing to finish while short on time…
Just now, when he was painting, Xiao Qian had been standing next to him, feeling sorry for him. Now, seeing his laid-back attitude, she felt irritated, thinking she had been “manipulated” by Yu Xiaoqiang. He must have anticipated her reaction, pretending like he couldn’t make it, only to say he’s good for the night…
“I initially just wanted to come and see, but meeting someone I’m interested in has changed my mind. I’ll wait till the assessment is over before going back.”
“Assessment?”
“To stockpile talents for the company. Some headhunters helped me find talented HR professionals with excellent qualifications.”
Xiao Qian understood.
He had already begun to methodically clean up the company, and those who weren’t on his side would be kicked out.
Such a resolute Xiao Qiang was so handsome…
As if sensing her affectionate gaze, Ming Lang glanced at her.
“I’ve pre-booked a hotel so that we won’t be disturbed by anyone.” Aside from his aunt, he was afraid of no one, nothing.
Anyone. Anything!
Xiao Qian lost all admiration for him as his impatience scattered her adoration.
“I’ve already bought a cake in advance, which is in the trunk. We’ve even saved time on eating. If you’re hungry, wait until… later, and I’ll take you out to eat.”
This was called learning from experience! Last time, he wasted time eating. Yu Minglang was now well-prepared to overcome all obstacles, face any difficulties, and learn from past mistakes.
Detestable guy, why be so blunt? Xiao Qian’s face flushed with embarrassment as she turned her face away from the window, avoiding his smug expression.
Yu Minglang was in a great mood, humming a tune.
Xiao Qian’s face burned upon hearing the melody, “Shut up!!!”
Yu Minglang feigned innocence, “Can’t I even sing?”
“If you dare show off again, I’ll go back to school!” What kind of nonsense was he singing? Don’t think she couldn’t understand!
Boss Qian, too, had her rebellious phase, once enjoying rock music. Otherwise, how could she have sung “Golden Swallowtail Flower” so well?
Now, the rock song he was singing, when translated… such an indecent song!
It was downright disgraceful, singing such a song out loud!
“Qian Bao, if you weren’t so clever, it would have been better. A woman without talent is virtuous. If your English was as poor as your brother’s, I could hum the entire song, especially the last line—just that line would last me the entire night,” Ming Lang said teasingly.
Compared to Xiao Qian’s subtlety, he was now stirring his senses, eagerly itching to make a move at any opportunity he got, all to build excitement.
Feeling the heat of his burning passion, Xiao Qian asked seriously.
“What if we arrive at the place and you’re called back to deal with business?” This man was uncontrollable, even humming that lewd tune.
“Absolutely not! I’ve already told my staff that even if the sky falls, they shouldn’t call me back!” He was that confident!
“With you and Qiao Zhen both gone, who’s watching?” Letting loose?
“We’ve just trained a new batch of management recently. I want to take this opportunity to test what would happen to the company in my absence.”
In the future, he would gradually replace employees with his own people. This way, he wouldn’t be tied down to the company all the time and would have more time to spend with her.
Upon hearing his determined words, Xiao Qian was sure there was no escape this time. The Peach Forest Peach Blossoms they passed by served as a reminder of the blossoming love that had carried over from her past life, which was about to bloom once again.
