Ling Qingyaâs hand paused with her pen, a flicker of unusual light in her eyes as she looked at Chen Yaowen and said, "Mr. Chen, you came to the company to work, so you should not concern yourself with these matters."
"Yes, President, I was just a bit curious, after all, everyone in the company knows that Ye Luo is your fiancĂ©, and his frequent visits to Manager Liâs office might not reflect well, but since you think itâs not a problem, Iâll take my leave now."
After Chen Yaowen finished speaking, he turned and walked towards the exit, the corners of his mouth slightly raised.
Watching Chen Yaowen leave the office, Ling Qingyaâs eyes narrowed slightly, flickering with strange light.
Inside Li Wanqinâs office, Ye Luo walked in and said to Li Wanqin, "Wife, what did you want to see me for?"
"Ye Luo, donât call me that here in the company, just in case it leads to misunderstandings," Li Wanqin spoke up.
"I called you here because my mom suddenly told me she wants to have dinner with you tomorrow," Li Wanqin said, her gaze fixed on Ye Luo.
"Invite me to dinner?" Ye Luo looked surprised.
"Yes," Li Wanqin nodded and said, "Iâm not sure what theyâre up to, but my mom asked me to tell you that you must come tomorrow."
Ye Luo replied casually, "Sure, itâs just a meal, no problem."
Immediately after, Ye Luoâs gaze turned to Li Wanqin as he slowly walked over.
"What are you doing? Donât mess around, this is the office. It wouldnât be good if we were discovered," Li Wanqin said quickly as she saw Ye Luo approaching.
Click!
At that moment, the office door was suddenly opened. Ye Luo froze and quickly swept his gaze over, only to see Ling Qingya slowly walking in.
Seeing Ling Qingya, Ye Luoâs pupils tightened, and Li Wanqinâs expression changed as well, looking somewhat nervous.
As Ling Qingya walked in, her eyes swept over the two of them, a flicker of unusual color in her gaze, "Ye Luo, what are you doing here?"
"Oh, I..."
"President, I had something I needed to discuss with Ye Luo. Is there something you needed?"
Li Wanqin quickly stood up and said.
"Thereâs a partnership project I wanted to talk to you about," Ling Qingya said indifferently.
"Then you two can talk, Iâll step out."
Ye Luo said hastily, and immediately left the office.
Watching Ye Luo leave, Ling Qingyaâs eyes flashed, while Li Wanqinâs expression seemed a bit unnatural.
"Wan Qin, are you very familiar with this guy?" Ling Qingya asked, looking at Li Wanqin.
Li Wanqinâs eyes flickered before she answered, "Weâve just met a few times. He helped me with that matter involving Manager Hai, so we became acquainted. Surely youâre not jealous, President?"
Li Wanqin couldnât help but say as she looked at Ling Qingya.
Ling Qingyaâs expression changed as she said, "Why would I be?"
Inside Chen Yaowenâs office, he made a phone call, saying, "Everything is successful, we can proceed to the next step."
After hanging up the phone, Chen Yaowenâs eyes gleamed with a cold light, his lips curled in a cold sneer.
In the afternoon, Ye Luo left Ling Corporation and started to go shopping with Shi Yanran.
The two of them directly entered a boutique commercial street, which was bustling with all sorts of items for sale and swarmed with people.
Shi Yanran looped her arm through Ye Luoâs, and the pair looked just like a couple deep in the throes of love, with Ye Luo wearing a contented expression on his face.
However, both were so immersed in the atmosphere that they failed to notice a figure in a hat, holding a camera and continuously snapping photos of them from dozens of meters away.
Because the crowd was so dense, and Ye Luoâs attention was wholly on Shi Yanran, he didnât realize this abnormal situation at all.
As they played and looked around, Shi Yanranâs face was brimming with a broad smile, and at this moment, Ye Luo felt incredibly relaxed, truly experiencing the sensation of being in the flush of love.
"Here, take a bite."
At that moment, Shi Yanran held an ice cream towards Ye Luo with a giggly smile, and she too had shed her aloof superstar aura for the approachable girl-next-door vibe, much like a young girl in love.
Ye Luo chuckled and bit half of the ice cream, prompting Shi Yanran to laugh coyly.
"Big Brother Ye!"
Suddenly, a crisp voice rang out, and when Ye Luo looked over, he saw two graceful figures slowly approaching from afar.
One wore a blue long dress radiating youthful zest, while the other was dressed in a white knitted sweater, her face delicate and dignified, exuding elegance.
The two ladies were none other than the Liu sisters, Liu Shiyun and Liu Xiner, with the call having been made by Liu Xiner.
Upon seeing the two women, Ye Luo was unperturbed, but Shi Yanran suddenly let go of his hand, looking somewhat nervous.
It didnât take long for the two sisters to reach them, and Liu Xiner cheerfully addressed Ye Luo, "Big Brother Ye, weâve finally met! You havenât come to see me and sister for so long, have you forgotten us?"
"How could I? Both of you sisters are great beauties, how could I forget," Ye Luo replied with a light smile, and then turned to Liu Shiyun, "Sister Liu, have you been well recently?"
"Hmm, and you?" Liu Shiyun was as calm and gentle as ever, her eyes twinkling like stars, bright and lustrous as two precious pearls.
What Ye Luo did not notice was that Liu Shiyunâs eyes held a different kind of expression when observing him, a subtle change flickering through them.
"Iâve been quite busy recently, so I havenât gotten in touch."
"I bet youâve been busy chasing beauties, and not just anyone, but our very own Huaxia superstar, Miss Shi Yanran," Liu Xiner teased, glancing at Shi Yanran, who was hanging her head shyly.
"Are you also here to shop?" Ye Luo inquired.
"Of course, but now that weâve bumped into Big Brother Ye, why not join us?" Liu Xiner proposed directly.
Ye Luo naturally didnât refuse, and Shi Yanran, with her head still lowered, didnât say anything, clearly feeling a bit awkward about others seeing her relationship with Ye Luo.
And so, Ye Luo began strolling with the three stunning ladies, drawing envious glances from many passing men.
For an ordinary person, going shopping with a beauty was a big deal, and now with Ye Luo accompanied by three top-notch beauties, he naturally attracted a lot of attention.
"Weâve been shopping for a few hours; letâs have a drink and rest a bit," Liu Xiner said, massaging her legs, evidently tired from the outing.
Then the four of them found a quiet cafe, ordered some drinks, and started chatting while resting.
Before long, it was nearly five oâclock, and Ye Luo prepared to leave with the three women.
"Help, help me!"
Suddenly, desperate screams resounded, and a young woman dressed in rags and with dust on her face was running and shouting, with four or five fierce-looking men chasing after her.
