Born as a space beast, Shi Chu possessed a strong sense of self-preservation and was inherently selfish. She revelled in luxury, indulging in fine food and clothing. She rejected phrases like “suff...
Chapter 1136 My husband is not infatuated with me (14)
After being tortured by these two groups, Ju Shichu finally gave up the idea of having an online romance.
Wang Tao was originally going to be her love strategist, but she didn't expect her to be so disappointing. When she heard her say those vulgar remarks about the wretched men in the group, she was immediately devastated and lost the desire to find a partner. She even avoided men.
At the Yan family, Assistant Sun said to Yan Cheng, who had finally recovered from his injuries and was discharged from the hospital, "Boss Yan, Mr. Qi's birthday party will be held next Friday. I wonder if you have found a suitable female companion?"
Yan Cheng was stunned, shook his head and said, "Just follow the previous arrangements." He used to find a female assistant as his companion.
Assistant Sun replied with some embarrassment: "Assistant Li happened to be on wedding leave this month, Assistant Chen is pregnant and is not suitable to attend, and Assistant Zhou just resigned... There is no suitable candidate to be your female companion."
Yan Cheng rubbed his forehead and was about to say that if he didn’t have a female companion, he might as well go alone. Anyway, with his current status, no one would have any objection.
But before he could finish his words, a young woman with a pair of beautiful fox eyes suddenly appeared in his mind, looking at him clearly. The woman looked pretty and innocent, but her words were sharp and choking. She was not polite to him at all and was very bold...
His mouth suddenly became disobedient and he had his own idea: "Ask Miss Ju if she is willing to be my female companion."
"W-what?" Assistant Sun's eyes widened suddenly, not believing his ears. He asked, "Miss Ju? Is that the Miss Ju I was thinking of?"
She looked at him coldly: "How many young ladies with the surname Ju do you know?"
Assistant Sun shuddered and said quickly, "I only know one! I'll contact Miss Ju, but I don't know if Miss Ju will be willing..."
Even though he had only met Ju Shichu a few times, he knew that she was not a naive, simple and dreamy woman who would be willing to accompany a man she was not very familiar with to a banquet.
If it were any other girl, if she knew that she was invited by the new head of the Yan family to be a female companion, she would definitely be excited and agree without saying a word. But Assistant Sun was not sure about Miss Ju, and she would most likely refuse.
But the boss has already made the request, and as an assistant, he has to do his best to meet the boss's wishes.
Soon, Ju Shichu received a call from Assistant Sun: "What did you say? Mr. Yan wants to invite me to be his female companion to a banquet?"
Ju Shichu dug his ears and felt that he seemed to have heard it wrong.
However, Assistant Sun shattered her fantasy and answered her with certainty: "Yes, you heard it right. Mr. Yan wants you to be his female companion."
"Why? I'm not very familiar with him. He wants to find a female companion. I'm sure there will be many people who would be eager to get one?" Ju Shichu was very confused. She thought she didn't leave any deep impression on Yan Cheng.
She had long forgotten that she had once asked Yan Cheng in person whether the internal fights in large families would be a life-and-death fight, with the last one standing being the winner. She still felt that she had not done anything out of the ordinary.
Assistant Sun, who was always good at guessing his boss's intentions, explained, "Boss Yan hates to interact with women who don't know the limits. In the past, Boss Yan had invited daughters from other families to be his female companions, but those female companions all misunderstood, thinking that this meant that Boss Yan had taken a fancy to them and wanted to date them, so they caused a lot of trouble. Later, Boss Yan learned his lesson and asked female assistants to be his female companions, which did not cause any trouble. It's just that this time, unfortunately, the female assistants in the company all had things to do and could not accompany Boss Yan, so I have to trouble you..."
Ju Shichu couldn't help but chuckle and said teasingly, "It seems that being too outstanding and too popular also has its troubles. I didn't expect that Mr. Yan would have to endure such troubles. So he wanted to invite me as his female companion because he thought I knew the limits and wouldn't misunderstand that he liked me? It seems that Mr. Yan thinks very highly of me."
Assistant Sun: ...
"Then Miss Ju, do you agree?" Assistant Sun asked again.
"Okay, I agree. I haven't attended a banquet attended by someone of President Yan's level. If I go with him, it will broaden my horizons and increase my knowledge." Although Ju Shichu said this, there was no expectation, excitement or yearning in his tone.
"Then Miss Ju, I will send someone to pick you up for styling next Friday." Assistant Sun said seriously.
"Okay, I'll wait." Ju Shichu thought that maybe there would be more outstanding men in Yancheng's circle, and she could observe them more.
The next Friday came and Ju Shichu took the whole afternoon off, and Assistant Sun sent someone to pick her up for styling.
As Yan Cheng's female companion, she only needed to come in person. She didn't need to worry about the dress and jewelry. Even her makeup and styling were done by celebrity stylists. She enjoyed the treatment of a celebrity.
At six o'clock, Yan Cheng came to pick her up. When he came out of the styling room and saw Ju Shichu dressed up in all his glory, his heart seemed to be struck by lightning, and the current flew through the blood vessels of his heart and flowed to his whole body...
Ju Shichu had no idea of the shocking effect her dressing up had caused on Yan Cheng. She was greatly amazed by the handsome Yan Cheng in a suit and tie, with his hair neatly combed back. This man was already very handsome, and after this dressing up, his charm doubled. Ju Shichu felt that if she looked at him too much, she would have a hard time finding a boyfriend, because he had raised her standards.
"What are you standing there in a daze for? Isn't it time to go?" Ju Shichu walked up to Yan Cheng, looked at him in a daze, and said.
Yan Cheng stretched out a hand and covered his heart as if unintentionally, then held Ju Shichu's hand with his other hand.
Ju Shichu was stunned for a moment, but soon felt relieved. He felt that since she was his female companion, then holding hands or linking arms was normal. Otherwise, if two people looked so awe-inspiring and inviolable, why would they still be female companions?
Yan Cheng took Ju Shichu's hand and got into the car. Assistant Sun stared at his hand holding Ju Shichu tightly in the back, stunned. His hand was a little messy, and he wondered if he had seen it wrong. Didn't Mr. Yan hate contact with women? Especially after being entangled by some crazy girls for a long time, in order not to cause trouble, he wanted to stay three feet away from women.
Even with the female assistant who used to be his female companion, he kept his distance and only stood closer. He was unwilling to let anyone put their arm around him, let alone hold hands.
Assistant Sun was shocked for a moment and hurriedly caught up with the car. He could go home after sending the two people to the banquet hotel. He immediately forgot about President Yan's abnormality. It was not easy for the office animal to get off work early, so why was he worrying about it?
