Chapter 78 Almost Died
When Yanting pushed open the door and came in carrying a food box, the projection screen had already been turned off.
The executives and shareholders on Bai Zhi's side only had time to see a blinding white figure appear before they could even make out the face, and then the meeting was abruptly cut off.
them:"……"
Incredible.
Chen Meng was actually keeping a mistress at home.
"I hope this didn't disturb your work?" Yanting placed the food box on the conference table. "The housekeeper was worried that you might be too busy to eat, so she asked me to bring you food."
"If you're busy, I'll head out now."
“I haven’t been disturbed.” Chen Xiao immediately called out to her, his expression unchanged. “The meeting is over, you’ve come at the perfect time.”
The bodyguards behind him: "..."
Do they, Chen Meng, not even bother to think before they lie?
Upon hearing this, Yanting said "Oh," and then said understandingly, "Then you can eat slowly, I'm leaving."
"Wait," Chen Xiao called out to her again.
Yan Ting looked at him in confusion: "What's wrong?"
"...I can't eat by myself." Chen Xiao hesitated for a moment before making up a story: "You eat so well, I can only eat if I watch you eat."
Yan Ting: "?"
Then she said, "I've already eaten."
Chen Xiao slowly gave an "oh," and then said matter-of-factly, "Then watch me eat."
Yan Ting: "..."
What kind of weird quirk is this?
The bodyguards remained silent.
It turns out that Chen Meng has such a childish side.
In the end, Yan Ting stayed to have dinner with Chen Xiao.
The bodyguards, being quite perceptive, left the meeting room, leaving the two of them alone.
“The housekeeper said you like to eat some home-style dishes.” Yanting opened the food box. “So there’s stir-fried green peppers with pork, stewed beef with potatoes, corn and pork rib soup, and jujube porridge.”
Chen Xiao's gaze remained fixed on Yan Ting from beginning to end.
Yan Ting paused, and after a moment, she looked up helplessly: "Why are you staring at me like that?"
"Because you're beautiful" is the most straightforward love confession.
Yanting has a beautiful figure and is very suitable for wearing cheongsams. For example, the moon-white Suzhou embroidery cheongsam she is wearing today perfectly complements her elegant and classical charm.
Although her features are very defined, her beautiful almond-shaped eyes make her a typical Eastern beauty at first glance.
Yan Ting's heart skipped a beat.
Her fingertips trembled slightly, but she forced herself to remain calm and said, "You look good too."
If Yanting is a cool and elegant beauty like an ink painting, then Chen Xiao is a magnificent and luxurious peony, one light and one dark, perfectly complementing each other.
"So do you like it?"
Chen Xiao had always known that his appearance attracted many women. When he was young, he was even mistaken for a girl because he was too pretty. Later, as he grew up, his features became more defined and mature, and his true masculine sex appeal began to emerge little by little.
Yan Ting raised her eyelashes and stared at the face opposite her, and said frankly, "I like it."
There wasn't a trace of ambiguity in his tone.
It's just a simple liking.
Even she couldn't resist Chen Xiao's face.
If she were the owner of an entertainment company now, the first artist she would be eager to sign would probably be someone like Chen Xiao.
Of course, she might not be able to afford to sign.
After all, how can an employee be richer than the boss?
After taking a few bites of food, Chen Xiao suddenly asked, "Did you used to watch him eat like this?"
Yan Ting was taken aback.
When she realized who Chen Xiao was referring to, she subconsciously explained, "No, you're the first man I've ever watched eat. That man is usually very busy, and I rarely eat alone with him." Thinking about it carefully, for the past four years, she had been putting on a one-woman show all by herself.
When Lu Huai was mentioned, Yan Ting's tone was extremely calm, without the slightest fluctuation.
"Call me!" the young master lied through his teeth, "I'm not busy."
Yan Ting was stunned for a moment.
She suddenly remembered a quote from the internet: "A person who truly loves you will make time for you no matter how busy they are, instead of making excuses to avoid you."
A series of ripples gradually spread through Yan Ting's heart.
She watched Chen Xiao devour his meat and thought to herself, "A man like him must be very popular with girls, right?"
In fact, the reality is quite the opposite.
Chen Xiao was extremely wicked in his youth, with a sharp tongue that could never be more offensive. Apart from his relatives and Yan Ting, he had insulted almost half of the people in Beijing's social circles.
In Pei Li's words, when Brother Chen is angry, even a passing dog will get a few words of abuse.
There was once a delusional female celebrity who wanted to seduce Chen Xiao by getting plastic surgery to look like Yan Ting. However, Chen Xiao kicked over the table in front of a group of big shots, splashed wine all over the female celebrity, and sneered, "A poor imitation."
The entire dinner party was silent.
It was so quiet that you could hear your own heartbeat.
The person who brought the female celebrity to the party was deathly pale.
He didn't even have time to plead.
Chen Xiao didn't give anyone face and simply left with his suit jacket.
But no one dared to say a word.
The next day, that female celebrity disappeared from the entertainment industry.
The person who brought her to the event was later laid off by the chairman of a well-known company.

The first thing Gu Qianqiu did after waking up was to ask Lu Huai.
Yan Xun looked somewhat hesitant.
"Brother Huai..." He hesitated, unable to finish his sentence.
Gu Qianqiu asked dejectedly, "He didn't come?"
Yan Si said calmly, "President Lu came once, but you didn't wake up, so he left."
Upon hearing this, Gu Qianqiu secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Yan Xun naturally didn't notice her unusual behavior, but Yan Si's expression changed.
"Xiao Xun".
"Brother?" Yan Xun asked, puzzled.
Yan Si: "Qianqiu just woke up and is still very weak. Go and buy some porridge from nearby."
Yan Xun didn't hesitate: "Okay."
After Yan Xun left, Yan Si stared at Gu Qianqiu and said, "You're willing to risk your life to ruin the engagement party?"
Gu Qianqiu was taken aback.
"Ah Si, what are you saying?" She smiled weakly, "I don't quite understand what you mean."
Yan Si squinted: "Qianqiu, I know you better than anyone else. Are you sure you want to lie to me?"
Gu Qianqiu's smile froze.
half an hour.
She then said slowly, "You can't catch a wolf without risking your cub, but I won the gamble, didn't I?"
The day before Yanting and Lu Huai's engagement, Qi Yang suddenly approached her.
"Miss Gu, is that right?" Qi Yang looked at the woman who had been forcibly brought in by the bodyguards, his posture condescending: "I want to do a business deal with you. I wonder if Miss Gu has the courage to do it with me."
Gu Qianqiu couldn't help but shudder, and asked with fear in her eyes, "What kind of business?"
"Do you really want to see Lu Huai and Yan Ting together?" Qi Yang asked with a half-smile.
Gu Qianqiu certainly didn't want to.
She came back this time with the intention of winning Lu Huai back.
How could I let him be with another woman?
Therefore, on the day of the engagement banquet, Qi Yang directly arranged for someone to kidnap Gu Qianqiu.
Gu Qianqiu initially thought it was just an act, but who knew that Qi Yang, that madman, would actually do it for real and have the kidnapper stab her.
I almost lost my life.
If Yan Si hadn't received the news and arrived in time, Gu Qianqiu would probably have already gone to the underworld.
Thinking of this, a shadow crossed Gu Qianqiu's eyes.
"Qi Yang is a madman."
Yan Si sneered, "You'd really go through the trouble of trying to negotiate with a tiger."
Qi Yang doesn't care about human lives; once he goes crazy, he won't even spare himself.
But no one dared to do anything to Qi Yang.
One reason is that the Qi family is too powerful, and the other is that Qi Yang has proof of mental illness.
Even though she is now safe and sound, Gu Qianqiu still feels lingering fear whenever she recalls the scene.
That madman Qi Yang is someone you really shouldn't mess with.
