Chapter 1488 - 1501
Gao Yanrou glared, momentarily at a loss for words.
If she admitted, it would be equivalent to acknowledging she wanted to be a third party.
If she didn’t speak, she couldn’t swallow this anger.
To think she’d be humiliated by a little brat!
Flames flickered in Gao Yanrou’s eyes, she straightened her chest, letting her disdainful gaze fall on her small bun-like chest.
"See how long you can be proud, men always think with the lower part of their body," she had heard rumors that the president asked Secretary Dai to buy uniforms, specifically choosing those with very little fabric. Could her figure even support that?
Just as the elevator dinged upon reaching the top floor, Gao Yanrou walked out, twisting her slender waist in high heels.
Nangong Yang crossed her arms proudly, her chin held high. It was only after the elevator doors closed that she stomped her foot angrily.
Damn Huang Puchen, always surrounded by flowers!
The afternoon sun was scorching, making skin ache.
Nangong Yang stormed out of the building in frustration.
She had spent ages finding the president’s office, only to find it empty.
It’s said the president is always idle, but where was he lazing? Not a shadow in sight.
She shielded her eyes from the sun and sent Bai Huayu a text to say she was heading home.
Just as Nangong Yang left, a Bugatti Veyron glided past, and Huang Puchen alighted from the car surrounded by bodyguards.
Even the blazing sun couldn’t pierce the cold, stern aura around him, as he frowned slightly watching Nangong Yang’s departing figure.
Had he misseen?
...
In an unused conference room within the Huangpu Family building.
Bai Huayu lounged in the air conditioning, tapping his finger on the table, seeming to wait for someone.
The door knocked rhythmically three times.
Moments later, Gao Yanrou sauntered in, swaying her slender waist.
"I’ve been back for so long, and only now you remember to find me," shedding her earlier coquettishness, Gao Yanrou, now resembled a siren in the night.
"Did you just meet with her?" Bai Huayu ignored her teasing, picking up his coffee as he asked.
"Just a little brat who can’t stand on her own, why are you so concerned?" Her tone was quite sour.
"She isn’t just a country bumpkin, the position originally reserved for you was snatched away by her." Bai Huayu scoffed lightly, this was also beyond his expectations.
Nangong Yang, a name that never appeared in his plans.
But now...
Gao Yanrou seemed incredulous, her eyes widened, "Her, really?"
Bai Huayu didn’t reply, a faintly cold smile played on his delicate face, not reaching his eyes.
"Then what should I do?" Gao Yanrou asked bitterly, feeling quite aggrieved.
"I’ll inform you when the time comes," Bai Huayu tossed her a detailed dossier, stood up, and planned to leave.
Suddenly, Gao Yanrou embraced him from behind, "Since you came, won’t you spend some time with me?"
"Stay obediently at the Huangpu Family, don’t ruin my plans for your desires." His tone remained gentle like a spring breeze, but his gaze was as harsh as a cold wind.
...
Back at the apartment, Nangong Yang was sweaty, sticky.
Senior Bai meant well, she wouldn’t blame him.
But she did waste two hours for nothing!
And ate a silent loss.
So depressed.
After taking a shower, refreshed, she still couldn’t shake the frustration in her heart. Unable to vent, it felt stifling.
"Why is this clothing’s fabric so scant?" Nangong Yang fumed into the sofa pillow, unintentionally spotting the bag Huang Puchen left in the corner.
...
Nangong Yang arranged to meet Bai Zhi at their usual spot.
"You called me here just to see you sighing miserably?" Bai Zhi sipped her juice, watching as Nangong Yang slumped dejectedly on the table.
Since Bai Zhi opened a clothing store, she shed her naiveté, becoming more alluring, even her style turning fashionable.
Nangong Yang grew more frustrated, now even Bai Zhi knew how to go the sexy route.
She looked down at her cute-style clothes, the ones Lin Sufang had dragged her to buy recently.
Saying if a man looks too long, it leads to visual fatigue, without offering some novelty, he’d grow tired eventually.
"Sigh..." Another sigh escaped.
Nangong Yang propped her face, pouting as she asked, "Do men prefer sexy women?"
Bai Zhi froze, unsure what crossed her mind, suddenly turned shy, cheeks flushed, bowed her eyes slowly, nodded, agreeing.
Nangong Yang didn’t notice her odd behavior, let out a shriek, wanted to cry but hid her face.
She was totally not sexy at all.
"What should I do, Bai Zhi? I want to visit your store, find some sexy outfits?"
Saying so, Nangong Yang stood up to let Bai Zhi assess her, "Look, my figure, what can I wear to catch Huang Puchen’s eye?"
Bai Zhi looked on slyly, what’s gotten into this kid?
She sized her up and down, clicked her tongue repeatedly, after a while, shook her head, squeezed out a word: "Difficult."
Nangong Yang’s face fell, feeling defeated inside.
"What’s wrong?" Bai Zhi frowned, "Alright, alright, just teasing you, I do have a few really sexy and alluring outfits, you can try."
They moved immediately.
Usually, every time they planned to go, Nangong Yang was the reluctant one.
Why so keen today?
Back at the shop, Bai Zhi dug from the bottom of the box to find those remaining few pieces and tossed them to Nangong Yang.
Sipping coffee, leaning against the door frame, sizing up Nangong Yang’s figure, puzzled.
"Nangong Yang, why do you insist on going the sexy route, I think cute suits you well."
Nangong Yang firmly shook her head, "No!"
She wanted to regain the noble lady’s aura she’d lost over twenty years! Strive to restore the elegance befitting a lady!
"Then these clothes are yours, but you’re sure dressing like this can make Young Master Huangpu have a nosebleed at you? After all, drinking papaya every day doesn’t seem to work."
