The sound of the door being knocked made Liu Mingyu extremely nervous and worried. Being a department head, if she was found out for secretly making love with a man in her office, how was she supposed to face the people in the company in the future?!
Yang Chen lightly frowned and tidied up his pants. Before he entered the room, he saw that the female colleagues outside were either dozing or busy. He didnât expect that someone would want to enter the room.
Liu Mingyu hurriedly climbed up from the desk and briefly wiped the desk, chair and some other parts. Although nothing abnormal could be seen, Liu Mingyu was fully aware that the post-climax residue on her face could easily be spotted by an experienced individual.
Furthermore, she was locked with Yang Chen alone in her office under broad daylight. Everyone would have a special thought.
âIâm gonna die, Iâm gonna die. Itâs all because of you!â Liu Mingyu violently twisted Yang Chenâs arm.
Yang Chen smiled bitterly. Soft, he said, âThatâs also because I have your cooperation. Youâll be fine, just say weâre in the middle of a discussion for work.â
âWhat work do I have that requires your input?! Can you at least come up with a decent lie?!â Liu Mingyu rolled her eyes.
At this moment, a gentle and familiar voice resounded outside the door.
âMingyu, are you inside?â
Yang Chenâs nerves tightened. It was Mo Qianni!
Liu Mingyuâs legs softened as she widened her big, watery eyes. She didnât know what to answer.
Yang Chenâs expression turned complicated for a while before he walked to the door quietly.
âWhat are you doing!â Liu Mingyu lowered her voice. When she saw that Yang Chen was going to open the door directly, her heart almost flew out!
It was bad enough if she was seen by the ordinary staff in the public relations department, let alone being noticed by Mo Qianni! Excluding the fact that Mo Qianni used to be her superior, she currently was one of the person in charge of the company. If this side of her was seen, wouldnât she leave a bad impression?!
Yang Chen smiled at Liu Mingyu relaxedly before slightly opening the door. He only opened the width of a person, and winked at Mo Qianni who was standing outside.
Mo Qianni thought that Liu Mingyu may just be having a nap. However, when the door got opened, she noticed it was Yang Chen!
Why is this fellow here at this point of time?!
âLittle Qianqian, stop dreaming. Come in quickly!â Yang Chen said softly.
Mo Qianni was still very confused. She entered the room because Yang Chen asked her to. After that, he quickly shut the door.
The tall Mo Qianni looked glamorous as ever. With her long hair tied up, she wore a white trench coat and a bright red scarf and held a folder in hand. She looked like just a fashion model walking in the office, but she evidently came to talk to Liu Mingyu about work.
Upon entering the room, she noticed a familiar yet shameful smell between her mouth and her nose. Mo Qianni raised her head to look at Liu Mingyu whose hair and clothing were dishevelled. Her face was flushing, and she wasnât able to stand straight beside the office desk, not to mention the messy files which scattered everywhere.
Liu Mingyu didnât dare to look at Mo Qianni while Yang Chen intentionally put up a serious act. Excluding the fact that Mo Qianni was smart in nature, the smell of hormones and her understanding towards Yang Chen in addition to her personal experience instantly caused her to understand what happened earlier!
Mo Qianni immediately blushed as she felt that the situation was extremely awkward. The proud-looking, death-courting man beside her was still making a stupid face and smiling at her in a naughty manner.
Although she herself was a mistress as well, which meant she had to endure all the pain caused by the man, she still felt extremely uncomfortable when she witnessed something this absurd.
âDepâDepartment Head Mo, do you need anything?â Liu Mingyu stammered as she tried her best to act calm.
Mo Qianni regained awareness. She quickly answered, âOh⊠An issue arose for the year-end financial integration of the public relations department. I came here to talk about it. It⊠it seems rather inconvenient now, doesnât itâŠâ
As soon as she finished speaking, Mo Qianni noticed that she said something wrong! What inconvenient! Itâs because I noticed something wrong between them of course!
She wanted to act like nothing happened initially. The situation couldnât be saved anymore.
Liu Mingyu wanted to find a seam on the ground and drill herself into it. Iâm finished. I mustâve become something like a seductress in her eyes. Under broad daylight, I got found out for doing that kind of stuff with a married man. Is this possibly something every mistress has to endure?!
Seeing that Liu Mingyu and Mo Qianni didnât have anything to say, Yang Chen walked to Liu Mingyuâs office desk and started tidying the messy folders on it.
As he arranged the items, Yang Chen smiled and said to Mo Qianni, âCome here, thereâs nothing inconvenient. Weâre all people of our own.â
Mo Qianni stunned for a while before finally understanding what Yang Chen meant⊠Is he going to confront me?
Liu Mingyu was confused as well. She looked at Yang Chen in doubt and looked at Mo Qianni. Her mind stopped working.
Seeing Mo Qianni who stood still by the door, Yang Chen smiled bitterly as he said, âLittle Qianqian, stop daydreaming over there. Do you still want to act like nothing happened? Weâve come this far already, Iâd be hypocritical if I try to hide this from you, and youâd be lying to yourself if you act like you havenât found it out. Furthermore, do you think I am the type of guy whoâd do things secretly and deny his doing?â
Mo Qianni took a deep breath, as if she was gathering courage. She walked forward and gave Yang Chen a death stare before smiling at Liu Mingyu whose body got extremely stiff. âTo be honest, I donât feel very good about it, but I also know that you donât as well. Is being merely a lover and a mistress tough?â
Liu Mingyu felt that her brain cells werenât enough to be used. The situation had gone far beyond her imagination. Mo Qianniâs words seemed to imply that she had some kind of relationship with Yang Chen as wellâŠ
âDâDepartment Head Mo, are you possibly⊠hisâŠâ
Before Liu Mingyu finished speaking, Mo Qianni nodded. âYeah, so you donât have to be this shy. Look at how thick-skinned I am, so thick that I know no shame anymoreâŠâ
Yang Chen stopped Mo Qianni from speaking. âLittle Qianqian, what are you talking about? Why does it sound so terrible? We have to face the issue if we want to find a solution. Look, Iâm righteously standing in front of you guys as the culprit. If you want to compare skin thickness, mine should be the thickest.â
âOh, you also know that youâre thick-skinned? You came here to find women to play with you during working hours. Canât you behave yourself? If itâs someone else whoâs prying that came today, witnessed you together with Mingyu and noticed the weird smell, what do you think you can do?â
Liu Mingyu suddenly realized that the âcrime sceneâ hadnât been utterly cleaned yet. She quickly took out a bottle of air freshener and sprayed at the surroundings before she finally could relieve herself.
Smiling bitterly, Yang Chen said, âThese are all chemicals, your body would be damaged if you use it too much.â
âDo I have to use it at all if you didnât come?!â Liu Mingyu asked angrily before clenching her teeth. However, she quickly realized that Mo Qianni was still there. She almost went crazy saying something like that in front of this âsimilar speciesâ who, to her, was extremely mysterious.
Mo Qianni sighed. She didnât feel nervous and agitated anymore. In fact, she had long prepared for this day when Yang Chen said she wasnât his only lover. Smiling bitterly, she said to Liu Mingyu, âBoth of us arenât any authentic goods, so you donât have to be nervous in front of me. To put it in a good way, weâre both âcomradesâ, to put it in a bad way, weâre both similarly vixens. So weâre equal at the end of the day, donât feel guilty about it. Blame this fellow if you want. A good rabbit doesnât eat the grass outside its nest, this fellow on the other hand ate everything.â
Liu Mingyu felt that what Mo Qianni said made sense. Since Mo Qianni was a mistress as well, it meant they werenât any different from each other. They then felt subconsciously closer to each other as they felt touched.
Yang Chen couldnât help but to sigh in his heart as he witnessed the helplessness and bitterness that the two women he loved were in. One couldnât expect the world to be fair. No one could make clear the feelings between men and women since ancient times.
After a moment of silence, Yang Chen didnât really know what to say to turn the situation better. At last, he said, âHow about having dinner together tonight? My treat, Iâm fine with eating anything.â
Mo Qianniâs and Liu Mingyuâs cold gazes swept across him almost at the same time. They looked at him without any expression.
âIn this situation do you think you can solve everything by solely treating us for dinner?â Mo Qianni asked.
âAre we so easy to be pleased? Do you think weâre as easy to trick as a three-year-old?â Liu Mingyu asked.
Troubled, Yang Chen scratched the back of his head. âMy two much respected ladies, can you not do this to me? You can vent your feelings or even scold me! I know that sometimes I really act like a monster, but Iâve never intended to hide things from you guys, or even trick you. I donât know how things ended up this way, I merely followed my feelings to reach this step. If I were to give up any of you, not only will you guys get hurt, I will feel hurt as well. I really donât know how to explain it to you.
This is what I want to say. You guys can whack me, scold me, or even hate me. But you canât detest me, thatâs because I love you guys. I promise, except the stupid name column on the marriage certificate, I can give you anything you want, as long as itâs something I have!â
He expressed his thoughts honestly. Yang Chen reached out to his shirt pocket and wanted to smoke a cigarette, but he remembered he was in the office so he awkwardly withdrew his hand and started walking in circles. This is so torturing. Back then when I was still abroad, when have I ever suffered because of problems caused by women? Thatâs why I say love isnât something great. People used to call me god, but even gods canât solve the issue, let alone normal human beings!
After Mo Qianni and Liu Mingyu finished listening, they both turned around and wiped their eyes.
âDo you think youâre the director of Womenâs Federation or an expert in psychology? Why did you give us a counselling session? We havenât taken things to our hearts, what are you rushing for?â
âI know right, werenât we discussing on where to eat tonight? We need to have a drink for our comrades, right, Mingyu?â Mo Qianni winked at Liu Mingyu.
Liu Mingyu nodded. Smiling, she said, âI know a great Italian restaurant, Iâll bring Department Head Mo there.â
âDonât call me Department Head anymore, just call me Qianni,â Mo Qianni said with a smile.
âAlright, Qianni.â Liu Mingyu smiled and pouted. She seemed to have relieved herself.
Yang Chen felt slightly consoled when he saw that the two women had temporarily untied the knots in their hearts. Smiling, he went forward and said, âBring me with you, my treat.â
Mo Qianni looked at him fiercely. âWhy do you want to join a dinner of two women? Why would we want you to treat us? Itâs not like we have no money. If you have nothing else to do, get out quickly. We still have to talk about work.â
âHey, you canât do this. How can you disregard your man like this?!â Yang Chen was dissatisfied.
âThat sounds more like you. Are you thinking of making us serve you like our master after dinner if youâre coming with us?â
âIt would of course be good if that was the case,â Yang Chen said awkwardly with a smile.
Liu Mingyu and Mo Qianni looked at each other before pushing Yang Chen to the door together, one from each side.
âGet out get out! We want to work!â
âDonât push me, canât I walk myself?!â Yang Chen didnât know what to feel Are they starting to avoid me now?!
After Yang Chen was pushed out of the room, the two women chuckled as they looked at each other and saw their own faces in each otherâs eyes.
