A hush fell over the cafeteria. Tang Yuan’s eyes were wide open when he stammered out, “Y- you two...”
He thought that An Yibei wasn’t willing to go public with it.
However... wasn’t this a bit too much?
Ai Bao was equally astonished. She sat there dazed, not knowing how to react.
“I don’t think I’m so desperate that I need to sell my body for her love,” said An Yibei unhurriedly. “Although, if my dear Baobao wants to seduce me, I’m more than happy to oblige.”
Tang Yuan swallowed and played along. “Yes. Yes, of course. How I envy you two.”
An Yibei had always been a man of few words, but he made the effort to explain himself today. “It’s only natural that I should take good care of Baobao. After all, I asked for her hand first and I’m very serious about this relationship. I’m ready to marry her one day.”
Tang Yuan was a smart man himself. He knew that An Yibei had said that to make their relationship official in front of the entire firm, so that Ai Bao wouldn’t be slandered again.
“I wish you all the best, then. Do invite me to your wedding!” Tang Yuan said in a cheerful voice.
“Of course.”
After Tang Yuan left in a hurry, looking somewhat defeated, An Yibei turned to Ai Bao and said, “What are you doing just sitting there? Go back to your lunch. Have you figured out what you want to drink?”
Ai Bao said dumbly, “Anything will do...”
“Yogurt, then. Fresh fruit is always better than juice,” An Yibei said, then went to fetch it for her.
The others in the cafeteria watched enviously as their Mr. An turned into this uxorious guy. Everyone reacted differently.
From then on, no one talked behind their backs and the employees were much more respectful toward Ai Bao.
Xiaomi was the only disgruntled one.
She took out her phone and began to vent her resentment in a chat group consisting of employees of the law firm. “Ai Bao must have put a spell on Mr. An or something, otherwise he would never have stuck up for her like that! She’s so disgusting!”
Most of the female employees in the law firm were in this chat group and Xiaomi’s comment got everyone’s attention. An animated discussion soon started.
“Mr. An said he courted Ai Bao first!”
“That’s right. Ai Bao is a nice girl. She doesn’t look so smart, but I think she and Mr. An make a cute couple.”
“Xiaomi, you’re not jealous, are you? Hahaha!”
“...”
Xiaomi typed angrily, “She’s a slut! Am I not even allowed to point it out? If you ask me, she offered herself to Mr. An first! I’ve never seen someone sell their body so willingly.”
The others couldn’t bear it anymore.
“You’ve gone too far. Do you think it’s appropriate to make up such things about another young woman?”
Xiaomi said triumphantly, “Heh, sticking up for Ai Bao, are we? Do you want to try the same thing with Mr. An?”
Just then, someone else spoke in the chat group.
An Yibei typed, “Su Mi, come over to my table.”
All the color drained from Xiaomi’s face. Rubbing her eyes, she double-checked the ID, then dropped her phone on the table.
An Yibei was in the same chat group!
Not far from her, Zhao and Wang exchanged smiles, then put their phones away.
“This is going to be good.”
They had never liked Xiaomi. Seeing that she was spreading rumors about Ai Bao today, Zhao and Wang had invited An Yibei into the chat group when no one was looking, which Xiaomi knew nothing about. An Yibei then caught her in the act when she let her tongue loose again.
As Xiaomi inched toward An Yibei’s table, An Yibei rubbed Ai Bao’s head and said, “Go to my office and make a copy of the file on my table.”
“Sure.” Ai Bao didn’t think much of it and promptly left.
An Yibei turned toward Xiaomi, the gaze behind his glasses as cold as ice.
