Chapter Seventeen: An Unexpected Encounter

  "This day has finally been liberated!"

  Turning her head, Su Xiaomei saw that everyone in the office except for herself and Chen Yixuan had already left. Looking at Chen Yixuan who was still focused on doing her computer report, Su Xiaomei let out a soft sigh.

  That Li Mei'er is also too much, after all, how can you say that, Ruhua has just joined the company for less than three months and is still a newcomer, but actually let Chen Yixuan do the quarterly report, this is clearly bullying newcomers!

  "Xiao Xuan, stop it, it's very late today, let's deal with it tomorrow."

  "It's okay, Xiaomei, you go back first, I'll deal with it for a while."

  Chen Yixuan stared at the screen, her fingers moving swiftly over the keyboard as she concentrated on revising the report form she had roughly completed that afternoon.

  Su Xiaomei heard Chen Yixuan say that, and simply shook her head in frustration. Although Chen Yixuan was gentle in both words and deeds, she had a stubborn streak deep down. It seemed that if the report wasn't finished today, she wouldn't be going home.

  "Then I'll go first, don't always remember to be busy with these things, you need to eat!"

  "Uh-huh, I see..."

  When Chen Yixuan had revised her first draft many times, she finally felt a little relieved after completing it. Turning around to look at her phone, which had been quiet all along, she found that it was almost twelve o'clock!

  It was already so late, and the office was empty. Chen Yixuan suddenly felt a chill. The huge company was deserted, with only black lights on, which was quite frightening.

  Chen Yixuan hastily shut down the computer and grabbed her clothes and backpack, preparing to head back.

  "Bang!"

  "Wow... it hurts so much!"

  Chen Yixuan had just stood up, not knowing if it was because she hadn't eaten all day or because she got up too suddenly after sitting for a long time. As soon as she got up, her body didn't cooperate and fell to the ground before she could even stand steadily.

  Chen Yixuan cried out in pain, the sound of the chair falling to the ground was exceptionally clear in the vast and quiet office.

  It seems that working so hard has taken a toll on my body after all.

  Chen Yixuan rubbed her sore arm, trying to stand up, but her legs felt weak and she couldn't exert any strength. Suddenly, a sharp pain shot through her ankle, making Chen Yixuan gasp in agony.

  What's going on? Did I just sprain my foot from falling over earlier?

  "Who is it?"

  Huh?

  At this moment, Chen Yixuan heard footsteps behind her.

  "Bang!"

  Turning on the light, Chen Yixuan turned her head and was stunned for a moment.

  "Done, Vice President Wan?"

  I didn't expect Yanagawa Saki, the vice president of Arno, to still be with the company.

  ……

  "Mr. Bei Tang, since today's meeting was so successful, why don't we celebrate properly tonight?"

  "Hehe..."

  Having gained a small benefit from the Beidou Financial Group, you want to climb up the relationship like this. It seems that the president of Yano is really not confident in his own company.

  However, Yanuo's strength is not to be underestimated and is a foundation stone that he desperately needs. Even if Beitang Yaohe felt extremely repulsed in his heart, he couldn't help but nod his head in agreement with a professional business smile.

  Two people came out of Yanuo together. Beidong Yaochuan stopped outside, and even when Yasi Bo opened the car door for Beidong Yaochuan, he didn't notice.

  "What is Mr. Bei Tang looking at?"

  Yasi Bo caught the eye of Bei Tang Yaochuan and looked over, but was taken aback for a moment.

  Wanyan Zhao is hugging a woman?!

  "Wanyan deputy general seems to have blossomed."

  For Wanyan Sake, Kitadou Youkawa was not unfamiliar. At least, at the meeting in the afternoon, Kitadou Youkawa had seen that man, Yanuo's vice president, Wanyan Sake.

  However, Beidong Yaochuan's focus was not on Wanyan Xiao, but on the woman in his arms. The girl seemed to be Chen Yixuan, the same one he had met in the elevator at Yanuo today!

  “……”

  "Mr. Beidong?"

  "Haha, it seems that peach blossoms have indeed arrived."

  Yasi Bo didn't quite catch the muttering of Beidong Yaochuan, but saw him get into the car and didn't say anything else, following him in.

  What is Wan Yan doing? She's actually being so brazen with an ordinary employee right at the company entrance, without regard for her image. Although it was midnight, she just happened to be caught red-handed by Bei Tang Yaochuan!

  I don't know how Beitang Yaochuan will view his own company and employees. It seems that I need to talk to Wantan Saki about this matter tomorrow.

  Chen Yixuan did not expect that her hard work overtime would actually meet the vice president of Yabo, Wanyan Xiao. Is this good luck or bad luck?

  At night, Ya Bo's vice president Wan Yan Sai sent Chen Yi Xuan back home. He even carefully carried Chen Yi Xuan to the bedroom and said that if she couldn't make it tomorrow, then don't force herself to come to work.

  Chen Yixuan, a small office worker who has always lived and worked in the most inconspicuous corner of Asia Pacific, was still close to the important core figure of Asia Pacific for the first time, and Wei Yan's president was more gentle and kind than she imagined.

  Was it out of concern for Wan Yan Sake or because she wanted to work hard?

  But...

  Chen Yixuan turned her head, looking at the moonlight outside, its clear and cold radiance, on her beautiful face, a faint sadness, with a hint of comfort.

  Mom's condition has stabilized and she is still in the hospital.

  Can't always live at Meng Qi's sister's house, since I already have a job, I should also have my own life, instead of always troubling Meng Qi.

  So, despite Mengqi's opposition, Chen Yixuan insisted on finding a one-bedroom rental house with a kitchen and bathroom outside.

  Under the dim streetlights at the foot of a residential building, stood a slender figure.

  A bright red spark, in the darkness of night, was somewhat dazzling. Then, the spark fell to the ground and went out.

  Bei Tang Yao's handsome face, slightly raised his head to look at a window not far away that had already gone dark, the corners of his mouth subtly hooked into an arc, but it wasn't a smile.

  Chen Yixuan, do you think you can escape from the palm of Bei Tang Yaochuan's hand just like this?

  "Ding dong......ding dong......"

  "Huh...?"

  She heard the doorbell ringing outside the living room. Chen Yixuan was stunned for a moment, it's already very late, there shouldn't be anyone coming over.

  Could it be Lu Yu?

  Chen Yixuan and Lu Yu's relationship is no longer that of an agent and artist, but simply good friends.

  Chen Yixuan just smiled slightly and then limped in pain, walking to the living room door and opening it.

  "Lu Yu, how could you..."

  The words had not been spoken yet, but Chen Yixuan's smile had already slightly solidified. Looking at the slender figure outside the door, Chen Yixuan immediately realized that the person who came was not Lu Yu, but a stranger who was not quite a stranger.

  Bei Tang Yao's outstanding handsome appearance would make it difficult for people to forget him at first sight, and so was the case with Chen Yi Xuan.

  With a small look of astonishment on her face, Chen Yixuan was stunned.

  This face, no matter what, Chen Yixuan couldn't forget it. What shocked her was that Bei Tang Yaochuan would actually appear at the door of her own home.

  "You're not who I expected you to be, are you?"

  "Hokuto Yōkawa..."

  "Hehe..."

  With a metallic, magnetic sound that pierced through, it slightly sank into Chen Yixuan's earpiece. Without waiting for the homeowner to speak, Beidong Yaochuan had already entered Chen Yixuan's house on his own accord.

  Why did this person come looking for me?

  Bei Tang Yaochuan turned around and looked at Chen Yixuan who was still standing at the entrance of the hall, staring blankly at him. He walked towards her.

  "Bang..."

  Ow! It hurts...

  Bei Tang Yaochuan blocked Chen Yixuan's path, his body straight and close to the wall. Chen Yixuan subconsciously shifted her position, which pulled on her still swollen and injured ankle, causing her to frown in pain. Due to Bei Tang Yaochuan's proximity, Chen Yixuan's entire back was pressed against the cold wall. Bei Tang Yaochuan slightly leaned in, his face close to Chen Yixuan's confused and flushed cheeks as they locked eyes.

  "Chen Yixuan......?"

  "Uh..."

  Could it be that Beitang Yaochuan has come to settle accounts with himself?

  Looking at Chen Yixuan's slightly tense reaction, Bei Tang Yaochuan was quite enjoying it, including the shocked and unacceptable expression he saw on Chen Yixuan earlier. Anxiety? This was a feeling he had never had before.

  Having excellent self-control, Hokuto Yotogawa suddenly had the urge to possess the girl in front of him who still looked like an angel. This was a slight surprise even to himself.

  Although this woman had previously broken two appointments on her own initiative!

  "Are you... looking for me?"

  After a brief silence, Chen Yixuan slightly tilted her head, wanting to avoid this ambiguous atmosphere. Facing Beidang Yaochu's majestic and intimidating face, Chen Yixuan felt that her heartbeat was a bit disordered.

  "Do you know? I dislike people who don't keep their promises the most. For that matter, how are you going to make it up to me?"

  "That thing......"

  Bei Tang Yaochuan's tone was teasing, which suddenly made Chen Yixuan remember that the thing Bei Tang Yaochuan mentioned was probably about how she had stood him up twice before.

  Is it just because of this that you've come looking for me?

  "That thing, sorry, didn't bring you any loss, did it?"

  “……”

  Bei Tang Yaochuan still had a sly smile on his face and didn't answer Chen Yixuan's question. But Chen Yixuan's cheeks became even redder.

  But isn't it a bit strange for him to come find me today? What's wrong with me today? Wanyan had just sent me back, and now Beidang Yaochu is also coming to find me?

  As he watched Chen Yixuan tense up and blush slightly, Bei Tang Yao suddenly wanted the girl in front of him, a thought that even he himself found somewhat abrupt.

  How can I let others snatch away my own prey?

  "Wait, come back...... uh......!!!!!!"

  “……”

  Before Chen Yixuan could finish speaking, Beidong Yaochuan's soft and supple hair on his forehead covered his evil eyes, and he raised his hand to lock Chen Yixuan's small face, his sensual lips heavily pressed onto Chen Yixuan's soft cherry lips, not giving Chen Yixuan a chance to resist the force, invading!
