Chapter 239 Louis and Ye Qingwan

"That would be wonderful."

Ye Qingwan breathed a sigh of relief.

Although they knew that Meros's statement about being weak was in comparison to himself, it also showed that humanity was not without the ability to fight.

"Is there anything else you want to ask? I'll be going now. Just send me any discussion results later."

Meros appeared to be asking questions, but he didn't actually care what their answers were.

He got up on his own, picked up a plate of pastries that he had just tasted and thought best suited Lin Xiyue's taste, and went out.

It looks like it's for Lin Xiyue to eat.

"Okay, of course, no problem. Please go ahead."

Ye Qingwan was quite satisfied and let Moros leave.

They were already grateful that Meros could calmly answer their questions here. After all, he was the true ruler of the alien race.

"Um, well, I, I'm leaving too..."

Louis watched as Melos's figure receded into the distance, and instinctively wanted to leave with him; it was better than facing Ye Qingwan.

So, almost reflexively, he stood up from his seat and stepped toward the door without hesitation.

However, after taking only two steps, Louis was shocked to find that he was still standing in the same place!

This bizarre situation left him momentarily stunned, and an expression of disbelief appeared on his face.

He looked down at his feet, then looked up ahead, trying to figure out what had caused this situation.

"puff"

Just then, Ye Qingwan, who had been sitting to the side watching Louis's every move, finally couldn't help but laugh out loud.

Her beautiful eyes curved into crescent shapes, and the corners of her mouth turned up slightly as she looked at Louis with a hint of mockery.

Louis felt embarrassed upon hearing the laughter.

He slowly turned his head and met Ye Qingwan's slightly teasing gaze, his face instantly turning bright red.

"I...I don't know what happened, it seems like I suddenly can't move."

Louis stammered, sounding somewhat lost.

The real reason Louis was stuck in place and unable to move forward was actually a small, delicate bird that had landed on his back.

Because he couldn't see behind him, he didn't know.

At this moment, the little bird's whole body is a soft, creamy yellow, just like a chick that has just hatched. Its downy feathers are fluffy and soft, and it seems that it has not yet completely shed its tender milky down.

Its tiny beak gleamed with a fiery red color, as striking and dazzling as a burning flame.

Its round, bright eyes, like two shiny black pearls, are perfectly set on its fluffy body, making the little bird look just like a delicate and adorable plush toy.

Despite its adorable appearance, this little bird actually possesses extraordinary strength.

It gripped Louis's clothes tightly with its seemingly delicate claws, while gently flapping its fluffy, seemingly useless wings.

Surprisingly, with such a simple action, it successfully lifted itself and Louise at its feet, and made them float steadily in mid-air.

"Cake, put him down."

Seeing Louis's helplessness, Ye Qingwan seemed to see the little puppy in front of her ten years ago, and couldn't help but soften her heart and put him down.

"Choo Choo Choo--"

Upon hearing Ye Qingwan's voice, the little bird called Cake released its claws, flew to Ye Qingwan's shoulder, and landed.

"Good cake, so good. (*?′╰╯`?)"

Ye Qingwan smiled and took out a small handful of pistachios from her bag, then fed one to the cake.

"Chirp chirp~~ Chirp chirp chirp~~"

The cake made a cheerful sound, then very politely used its paws to peel open the pistachio shells and began to eat them little by little.

"Ah, hahaha, it's cake. The cake hasn't changed at all in the past few years! ヽ(°▽、°)?"

Louis looked at the cake and gave an awkward smile.

He seemed to recognize the cake; he even took out a packet of amber walnuts from his bag and handed it to the cake.

It seems that he, like Ye Qingwan, has the habit of carrying these small nuts with him.

"Cake, come down and eat."

After receiving the amber walnuts, the cake didn't eat them but stared at Ye Qingwan. Only after receiving Ye Qingwan's permission did it happily fly to the table and start eating the amber walnuts.

"Stop looking, and don't even think about running away. Tell me what you're thinking."

Ye Qingwan tapped the table to attract Louis's attention before speaking.

"Huh? Oh, I, I didn't really think about it, I just felt we weren't a good match..."

As Louis looked at Ye Qingwan's delicate face and the almost imperceptible scar at the corner of her eye, his voice grew softer and softer until it was barely audible.

"Tell me, tell me what's wrong with it?"

Ye Qingwan heard Louis's increasingly muttered words and almost laughed in exasperation. She raised an eyebrow and asked him a question.

"Um, I..."

Louis seemed a little lost, his mouth opened but he could only make indistinct sounds.

His gaze then shifted, first quickly sweeping over Ye Qingwan in front of him, then giving a suggestive look at the people around him, indicating to Ye Qingwan that there were too many people here.

At this moment, they were surrounded by members of Ye Qingwan's team and members of the Lingye team.

On the surface, each of them seemed focused on what they were doing: some stared intently at the screen, carefully examining various data; others chatted and laughed with their friends; and still others simply took out their phones and immersed themselves in the pleasure of watching short videos.

However, all of this was just a disguise.

In reality, everyone present was quietly listening intently to the conversation between Ye Qingwan and Louis, pretending to be doing what they were doing.

After all, everyone had already noticed something unusual before this—when Captain Ye Qingwan stepped into the conference room, her gaze almost instantly locked onto Boss Louis, and she has been paying close attention to him ever since.

Just recently, when Boss Louis tried to leave the scene quietly, he was stopped on the spot by Captain Ye Qingwan, who was quick-witted and agile.

Their unusual interaction is so unusual that it would be hard for anyone to believe there wasn't something special going on!
