Chapter 918: Chapter 918: Unbutton to Cool Off!
"But what should we do about Little Tong?" Su Yumo asked anxiously, her face full of worry.
She was feeling very conflicted at the moment, even though she was certain she couldn’t live without Ye Xuan, she still had reservations!
After all, if she didn’t leave him, wouldn’t she and Lin Tong become love rivals? That was something she didn’t want to see!
"I’ll handle things with Little Tong, you don’t have to worry. I’ll make sure she eventually accepts you!" Ye Xuan said seriously.
Looking at Ye Xuan’s earnest expression, Su Yumo pursed her lips and sighed, "You scoundrel, I don’t know if I owe you from a past life, but I just have to fall into your clutches and suffer this torment! Now I can’t even escape."
Seeing her agree, Ye Xuan couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief.
He said sincerely, "It’s not you who owe me, but I owe you both from a past life! Honestly, what virtues and abilities do I have, Ye Xuan, to deserve both you and Little Tong’s wholehearted affection? To be frank, I’m the one taking advantage of you both."
"Hmph, at least you know how to talk."
Su Yumo’s expression softened quite a bit.
She glanced at Ye Xuan, took a deep breath, and said with neither joy nor sadness, "Congratulations on achieving your wish to marry Little Tong!"
"What? Are you jealous, Miss Yumo?"
Noticing the hint of acidity in her tone, Ye Xuan asked teasingly, his eyes full of mischief.
"You’re overthinking it! Who would be jealous of you?" Su Yumo pouted, denying it against her will.
"Hehe, still denying it? That sour jealousy of yours can be smelled from a mile away, it’s practically wafting out of the office."
Ye Xuan chuckled playfully, teasing her.
"Hmph! So what if I am? I am jealous! Any woman would be jealous if the man she likes is marrying another woman, wouldn’t they?"
Su Yumo shot Ye Xuan a glare, snorted coldly, and decided not to hide her feelings any longer.
Her coy manner fully displayed the charm of a young girl in love.
Ye Xuan smiled lightly and said, "Honestly, I don’t think marriage is that important, it’s just a formality! Can’t two people who truly love each other be together without getting married?"
At this point, he shook his head with a nonchalant tone and said, "If you truly love someone, you should cherish her in your heart, making her feel joy and happiness! Not just a cold marriage certificate stuck in a drawer."
"However, you women do place importance on formalities, hoping that this legal protection gives you a sense of security! Ultimately, it’s still a lack of trust in a partner."
Upon hearing this, Su Yumo looked displeasedly at Ye Xuan and snorted coldly, "How can such a romantic thing as marriage, coming out of your mouth, sound like mistrust between both parties? I think you’re just making excuses for your promiscuity!"
Sweat!
Ye Xuan felt a little awkward, realizing that this little lady had seen through his true thoughts! However, he was wise enough not to admit it.
"That’s simply the truth, I’m not making excuses."
Ye Xuan shrugged and changed the topic, "But if you really envy that marriage certificate, I can get one for you, it’s no problem for me at all! Of course, Little Tong can’t know, you can keep it secretly at home."
Upon hearing this, Su Yumo blushed slightly and spat, "Who said I want to marry you?"
"Hmm? Weren’t you just jealous and envious of Little Tong marrying me? And now you’re denying it!" Ye Xuan asked with amusement.
"I wasn’t!" Su Yumo argued defensively.
"Really?" Ye Xuan asked with a half-smile.
"I..."
Su Yumo pouted, glanced at Ye Xuan again, and in a softer tone said, "I admit, I’m very envious of you and Little Tong! But envy is one thing, I don’t really expect you to do anything for me. Just being able to be with you makes me content..."
"So, whether or not there’s a marriage certificate doesn’t make much of a difference!" Su Yumo shook her head. "You don’t need to go to that trouble."
"Hehe, didn’t your words just confirm what I said earlier?" Ye Xuan smiled indifferently, "Since that’s your decision, it’s up to you then!"
With that, his eyes shifted slightly.
He leaned in with a mischievous smile and said, "Little Momo, since Little Tong hasn’t returned, should we have a kiss and nurture our feelings a bit?"
"No way!"
Hearing this, Su Yumo immediately refused, "What if Little Tong comes back and sees us, that would be big trouble."
Right now, she didn’t know how to face Lin Tong. Asking her to risk kissing Ye Xuan here was something she definitely couldn’t agree to.
Ye Xuan raised an eyebrow and chuckled, "Don’t worry, Little Tong won’t find out."
After saying that, he didn’t let Su Yumo refuse and immediately lunged forward.
He held her tender body and started kissing her...
Ten minutes later, Ye Xuan finally let go of Su Yumo, feeling satisfied as he withdrew his hand from her clothes, gently brushing her cheek on the way.
"Hehe, I’ll go first, you focus on your work!"
Looking at Su Yumo’s blushing face filled with anger, Ye Xuan chuckled awkwardly and made his escape.
Glaring at the back of the person leaving with resentment, Su Yumo quickly tidied up her clothes, praying in her heart that Lin Tong wouldn’t return!
At the same time.
After sneaking out the door, Ye Xuan had barely taken a few steps before he ran into the returning Lin Tong, and his heart almost leaped out of his chest with fright.
"Uh... Honey, I have some matters to attend to, you go ahead and continue!"
Feeling guilty, Ye Xuan dared not linger at all, waving his hand in a goodbye gesture and quickly walking away without stopping.
"You’re leaving so fast, are you dissatisfied with my timing to come back?"
Lin Tong said with a sarcastic smile, staring at Ye Xuan with a strange tone.
Pfft!
Ye Xuan stumbled, almost tripping over himself!
Cold sweat broke out over his back, and he quickened his pace, zooming down the stairs like he was on fire wheels.
Lin Tong withdrew her gaze and walked straight into the CEO’s office.
"Yumo, sort out these documents and hand them to me later."
Coming over to Su Yumo’s desk, Lin Tong placed a stack of documents down and instructed her.
Su Yumo had already noticed when Lin Tong came in!
At this moment, she tried to act as normal as possible, taking the documents and nodding, "Got it."
Just then, Lin Tong suddenly pointed at Su Yumo’s chest and asked, "Yumo, why is your button undone?"
"Huh?"
Su Yumo’s hands trembled, almost dropping the papers onto the desk.
She forced herself to stay calm and said casually, "Oh, it was too hot earlier, so I unbuttoned it to cool off!"
But as soon as she said that, she regretted it.
It’s already September, the weather has cooled down as autumn sets in, and it’s still morning, so it’s not that hot.
Even if it was hot, the office’s air conditioning was on, so there was no need to unbutton to cool off, it was like trying to cover up but revealing the truth instead!
Praying inside that Lin Tong hadn’t noticed her slip-up, she also silently cursed Ye Xuan.
Hmph! It’s all that despicable guy’s fault, insisting on doing such things in the office, making me embarrass myself. Just wait and see how I deal with you next time!
The beautiful Miss Su unceremoniously blamed Ye Xuan for the mishap.
"Oh, then lower the air conditioning temperature a bit."
Lin Tong glanced at Su Yumo, who had an unusually flushed face, as if she hadn’t noticed anything, before turning to lower the central air conditioning temperature.
Seeing Lin Tong return to her seat and continue focusing on work with no unusual reaction!
She... seems not to have noticed?
Stunned for a moment, Su Yumo quietly breathed a sigh of relief.
Immediately, after taking a deep breath, she pulled herself together and started to focus on her work.
