Chapter 78: The Consequences Are Serious
"He’s my boyfriend."
Yu Minglang helped her so much, she couldn’t let him lose face in front of his friends. Just now she said Yu Minglang was just a friend, but Qian didn’t miss their teasing glances. She took the chance while Jia Xiufang wasn’t around to give Yu Minglang a little credit.
Yaming, with one hand in his pocket, his eyes gleaming beneath his glasses, deliberately asked in a gentle and naive manner.
"Sorry, I didn’t hear you clearly, what did you say?"
"I said, Yu Minglang is my boyfriend. Just now, because my mother was here, I couldn’t distract her, but he is indeed my boyfriend. Next time we have a chance, we’ll invite you to dinner together."
Actually, this was just a polite gesture.
When Qian said it, she was very clear in her heart that whether they would meet again was another matter.
Consider it a way to repay Minglang for helping her. After all, it wouldn’t reach his ears, just a way to save face in front of his friends. Next time she sees Yu Minglang, she would never admit it.
After Qian got into a taxi with her mother, Yaming finally took his hand out of his pocket.
Holding a voice recorder, his white teeth gleaming in the sunlight.
"Occupational habit of a professional lawyer, it’s great to carry a voice recorder for convenient evidence retrieval—"
Pressing the play button, Qian’s voice came through clearly.
Yu Minglang is my boyfriend...
Yaming smiled slyly, a mischievous grin on his face.
"I wonder how much Yu Laomao would pay to buy back this recording? If he doesn’t treat me to a big meal, I’ll spread this thing and reveal his old bull eating young grass to everyone, hahaha!"
Yu Minglang heard this recording in the evening.
After the meeting ended, he was already very tired.
When he received Yaming’s call, he felt completely drained, but when Yaming shamelessly mentioned that he had important evidence, asking if he wanted to listen, Yu Minglang’s energy suddenly returned.
"What did you do to my girl?!"
"Tsk tsk, who’s being so protective? I’m not a monster, I won’t eat your girl. Minglang, I’ve got a good thing here, do you want to listen?"
Yaming pressed play, and Yu Minglang could hear his girl’s voice coming clearly from the other side.
"Yu Minglang is my boyfriend..."
Upon hearing these words, Yu Minglang felt like a hundred flowers were blooming in his heart, like the hundred flowers of spring were bursting open, woohoo!
"Yu Minglang, tell me, what are you guys planning to treat me to? Something too low-class won’t do. It has to be at least a seafood dinner on the scale of Daily Fisherman’s Wharf. Of course, if you’re reluctant, that’s fine. I can’t guarantee my hand won’t slip and send this recording out. Then all the guys will know you’re in a relationship."
This wasn’t just a threat; it was pure shamelessness.
After waiting for a while and not getting a response from Yu Minglang, Yaming asked.
"Minglang?" Disconnected?
"Yeah... Daily Fisherman’s Wharf, no problem." Yu Minglang added, "If you want to spread it, spread it."
Then he hung up.
Yaming held the phone in confusion, listening to the dial tone, perplexed.
What... does this mean?
Agreeing to treat, but still saying go ahead and spread it? Is he that eager to let the whole world know Yu Minglang is in a relationship?!
"Not wild usually, but when he is, it’s astounding!" Yaming objectively and accurately identified Yu Minglang.
Yu Minglang put down the phone and sat in his boss chair with a silly smile, looking very serious.
The department manager waiting for a signature nearby felt a chill down his spine. What’s happening to the young boss...
Then, Yu Minglang’s mouth curled bit by bit to the side. His boyfriend status was finally confirmed, no matter what mindset Chen Xiaoqian had when she said it, her once wise boss was doomed by her momentary soft-heartedness.
As Yu Minglang’s hormones surged, his mood soared. Ignoring the surprised glances from his subordinates, he opened the window, letting the evening breeze blow.
What to do if the wind can’t cool the burning feeling in his heart?
Today, with such a good mood, it would be a shame not to share it with others.
"Are you married?" Yu Minglang turned and asked the department manager behind him, who was already dumbfounded.
"Uh, yes."
Yu Minglang patted his stiff shoulder.
"Great, a stable relationship benefits long-term development. Keep it up."
The subordinate’s heart was startled, turning pale from surprise, not knowing why the young boss suddenly mentioned this.
Could it be, the young boss knows about his plan to dump his old wife and have a child with the mistress, subtly warning him?
Forget it... mistress and all, better call it quits. It seems the new young boss values this kind of thing, and the rumors about his upright style are true indeed.
The department manager decided to go back to being a good husband and father, no more pointless affairs.
With just one casual word, Qian saved a family, all thanks to Minglang’s great mood.
His girlfriend finally acknowledged the legitimacy of their relationship, nothing could be better, nothing more youthful than this.
Qiao Zhen watched as the once exhausted Yu Minglang suddenly burst out of the office as if on a high, patrolling from the first to the twentieth floor with full energy, clicking his tongue in surprise.
After working overtime for two days with less than five hours of rest, seeing the boss who was too tired to speak suddenly bursting with energy by evening?
The young boss’s enthusiasm made the rest of the company feel guilty for slacking off, everyone working overtime to create profits. Seeing the invigorated Yu Minglang, someone couldn’t help asking Qiao Zhen.
"What’s happened to the young boss?"
"Could it be... a breakup?"
Everyone in the company knew the young boss was like a high mountain snow, pure and virtuous... although that term sounds a bit odd for a man, he is indeed unattainable. Several women who tried to seduce him were scolded away.
"If it’s a breakup, that’s easy to handle... I think spring has come for him." Qiao Zhen, who knew Yu Minglang best, hummed a tune. Generally speaking, a carefree man falling in love is scarier than not.
Back at the old unit, Qiao Zhen had been following Yu Minglang, knowing him thoroughly.
This abundant energy, this youthfulness with nowhere to place, Qiao Zhen could already imagine Yu Minglang being even more energetically diligent (picky) and earnestly (harsh) competitive in the future.
Hmm, the company’s future performance will surely reach new heights under the young boss’s leadership, wonderful. But who is the girl willing to sacrifice herself for the greater good, to date a man with Yu Minglang’s unique way of thinking?
Qiao Zhen thought naughtily.
The boss couldn’t really be as rumors suggest, liking men, right? After all these years, it’s true he’s never taken an interest in a woman, curious, truly curious.
