If she could choose again, Zhou Fei would never have gone to ask to stay at their place.
He and Meng Shen sat upright on the sofa, like two primary school students facing a teacher, not daring to breathe loudly.
"You slacked off from the people I arranged and ran away to Jiangcheng. Do you know the consequences?" Tang Yue's tone was calm, revealing neither joy nor anger, and his lips still held a smile that was as gentle as a spring breeze.
Zhou Fei felt a chill run down his spine for no reason and nodded weakly: "I didn't know before, but later..." Noticing that the gaze on the other side suddenly became sharp, he immediately changed his words: "I only found out after Yu Xiaowan analyzed the situation."
Meng Shen gave him a disdainful look.
Zhou Fei glared back. Ha, you think you're so great? Then you try!
Meng Shen shrugged. "It's not like I ever liked Wanwan."
Zhou Fei felt a mouthful of blood stuck in her throat. If you hadn't betrayed me, things wouldn't have come to this.
"Master Yue, let me check if the cake is done baking." Meng Shen got up and walked briskly towards the kitchen.
"..." Holy crap, that's disloyal!
When Zhou Fei was alone with Tang Yue, she felt the air around her suddenly become incredibly oppressive, making her feel extremely uncomfortable, and the smile on one side of her mouth almost froze.
"I'll give you two choices." Tang Yue tapped the edge of the table with his index finger, as if a faint, cold white light was leaping up.
"First, stay in Jiangcheng, report when you go out, keep bodyguards with you at all times, and don't go out unless necessary. Second, return to Beijing."
Zhou Fei's eyes widened. What was the difference between returning to Beijing and staying in Jiangcheng? Wasn't it just being imprisoned in a different house? Freedom was important, but he didn't want to lose an arm or a leg, so without thinking, he said directly, "Stay in Jiangcheng." At least he still had Meng Shen to play games with.
Tang Yue was not surprised at all. "Okay, now move your luggage next door. The girl who will be sharing the apartment with you is called Jiang Xinyun. Don't mess with her unless you have to."
"I don't live here? But it's late..."
Tang Yue raised an eyebrow, interrupting him meaningfully: "You want to live here?"
"No, no." Zhou Fei waved her hand, quickly picked up her suitcase, and ran out.
In the kitchen.
Seeing this, Meng Shen secretly sent a message to Yu Wan.
[Meng Xiaoshen: Xiao Zhou challenges Master Yue, Game Over in less than a minute.]
[Yu Xiaowan: ...He was kicked out to the neighbor's?]
[Meng Xiaoshen: Huh? Shouldn't you be upstairs right now, busy revising the 3T Challenge proposal? How did you know?]
[Yu Xiaowan: Just guessing.]
[Meng Xiaoshen: Ha, to hell with telepathy, and all that dog food I'm eating...]
Yu Wan shook her head and chuckled. She went to the T·Dream official website, filled out all the forms, and clicked submit. She then sent the final project plan to Meng Shen and the rest of the team via email.
The group chat of friends instantly erupted in excitement, and soon, messages like "Thank you, Sister Yu, for the opportunity. I will work hard" flooded the chat.
At this moment, Huang Renfeng suddenly messaged her privately: [Sister Yu, you didn't send it to Cao Jin too, did you?]
Yu Wan's heart skipped a beat. She checked the email and confirmed that it had indeed been sent successfully.
She couldn't help but rub her forehead.
Because I was too lazy to type them out one by one, I directly chose the mass texting mode, but who would have thought it would backfire so quickly.
Do you need my help?
Tang Yue walked in carrying a tray with a cup of homemade milk tea and a piece of chocolate cake on it, placing them on the desk: "Want to try some?"
The chocolate cake looked good; at least it looked presentable.
Yu Wan picked up a spoon, scooped up a spoonful, and put it in her mouth. The taste was unexpectedly good, so she politely finished it all, still wanting more.
"It looks pretty good for your first time." Tang Yue leaned closer. "I'd like to try some too..."
Yu Wan raised her small face slightly, pressed her index finger to his lips, and said lazily, "Mr. Tang, don't you think you're being a little too dramatic?"
"Really?" Someone licked her finger.
Yu Wan was caught off guard by the kiss; the fingertips seemed to carry an electric current, making her heart pound hotly in her chest.
Her eyes darkened immediately as she warned, "Mr. Tang, playing with fire will get you burned."
Tang Yue chuckled softly, leaning down a little more until his cool nose touched hers, his tone incredibly ambiguous: "But what can we do? I promised Dad I'd wait until after we're married."
Yu Wan raised an eyebrow: "Our dad? Do we have to call him that so intimately?"
Tang Yue's lips touched hers, then parted, his fingertips gently caressing the skin on the back of her neck. He smiled and asked, "I always carry my household registration book with me. When can I legalize it?"
He pressed down and kissed her again.
"You are twenty-one years old this year, which is over the legal marriage age."
"Exceed? Mr. Tang, I need to correct your wording. Does the word 'exceed' imply that I'm old?"
"No, I'm just afraid you'll think I've gotten a year older." Today it's Zhou Fei, tomorrow it might be Liu Fei, Zhao Fei... I'd better hurry up and hold on to her.
He couldn't wait any longer.
Yu Wan clicked her tongue. This guy's sweet-talking skills had become top-notch again after not seeing him for a while. Slightly annoyed, she asked provocatively, "You still owe ten billion. How are you going to marry me?"
Tang Yue pretended to ponder for a moment, then reluctantly asked, "Does helping you protect the Yu Group qualify me to do so?"
Of course it counts! Yu Wan didn't want him to be too arrogant, so she snorted twice: "Do you, a bankrupt CEO, have the right to say that?"
Tang Yue replied without hesitation, "Because you are more capable than me, I have no right to say this in front of you, but compared to others, I am still very confident."
Yu Wan was speechless.
Where did this person's shamelessness go?
She pushed the person away slightly, crossed her arms, raised her chin, and asked, "What do you know about the Yu Group's situation this time?"
Tang Yue smiled and said, "Just a little bit. It's just a matter of what the Gao, Wang, and Ji families plan to do next."
Judging from his calm and composed expression, Yu Wan did not believe that the information he had received was only a little bit.
"Congratulations, boyfriend, you're officially a boyfriend today." She parted her red lips slightly: "Go show your future father-in-law that you're capable of dating me."
Yu Wan knew perfectly well that her practical business skills were too weak to be of much help to Old Man Yu at the moment. She wasn't that foolish to forgo the best available support and try to figure things out on her own, as it might lead to missing the optimal opportunity for a counterattack.
"Now we finally have official recognition?" Tang Yue's lips curved slightly, his low, deep laughter barely concealing his pleasure: "Before we fight the monster, let's prepay a little reward?"
Yu Wan beckoned with her finger: "Come here."
The handsome man wasn't annoyed. He unbuttoned his sleeves, stepped forward, bent down, and put his arms around her. Then…
His lips pressed directly against hers, sealing her mouth completely.
Without the slightest pause, they attacked cities and seized territories.
A room bathed in spring sunshine.
