This is not the WeChat account I want to add.
"Mr. Chen, both agreements are fine and have been notarized. Now, Mr. Chen, you just need to sign your name here. Yes, Mr. Chen, you sign here too."
The notary walked back and forth among you, and the only sounds in the huge conference room were the clatter of her high heels and the echo of her voice.
Chen Yulan, you wrote it down stroke by stroke, solemnly, carefully, and clearly. The black ink seeped down and gradually blurred. This is your name, the name that has followed you for twenty-eight years, and it will soon be labeled as your wife's name.
You are sitting opposite Chen Peiyuan, with an agreement in front of you. His copy has already been signed and is on the table, while your copy has just been taken away and is placed on top of his.
The notary smiled at you and, in your presence, exchanged the two agreements with each other. After both parties confirmed that everything was correct, they took out a file folder, put the agreements inside, and placed them in your personal safe.
Chen Peiyuan rested his chin on his hand, smiling as he looked at you. You watched as he gently tapped the table with his other hand, one tap after another, the light rhythm indicating his good mood.
You see him acting strangely, wondering why he acts like he really got a good deal while you suffered a huge loss. This feeling of frustration, like you've gained an advantage but don't know where you went wrong, is really unpleasant.
Shady businessman, shady businessman.
You're chewing on those two words; you genuinely dislike dealing with Chen Peiyuan.
Who would want to deal with a ruthless competitor who always smiles at you while secretly plotting against you? He's known as the Li Yifu of the business world, a man who hides a knife behind a smile.
You have no intention of getting entangled with him any longer. You have a meeting to attend later, so you greet him and leave without waiting for his response.
After leaving the conference room, Assistant Xiao Li stood to one side, looking serious. You're relieved; Xiao Li is doing well today, unlike his usual unserious self. Xiao Li's daily work ability is good, but he's too gossipy. He becomes a completely different person when he hears secrets.
The next moment, Xiao Li turned around and saw you. Before you could even say a few words of praise, his serious expression instantly changed. His face scrunched up, and his small eyes blinked wildly at you, as if he were having a fit. Your pleased face froze for a moment, then quickly returned to its expressionless state. You walked straight past him. It seems you still have high expectations for Xiao Li. How could you think he has grown up?
You walked quickly, while Xiao Li took two steps at a time, feeling like he couldn't keep up with your pace.
You quickly reached the company entrance, and just as you reached for the car door handle to open it, a hand preemptively placed itself on the handle, stopping you from moving forward. At that moment, in the reflection of the car window, you saw Xiao Li standing beside you, looking shocked and seemingly in disbelief at what was behind you. At the same time, you felt an undeniable heat behind you, and a familiar face appeared in the car window. His bright eyes were fixed on you, and his soft, warm breath tickled behind your ear.
He was very close to you, and you had just accidentally touched his chest. It was very firm. This was the first time since you became an adult that you had any physical contact with a man other than shaking hands. This was far beyond the social distance you could accept. This sensation made you stiffen up, as if standing up straight would allow you to get away from the man behind you.
Behind you is Chen Peiyuan's chest, and in front of you is his hand.
Even at this point, you can't help but sigh, "You look so beautiful in the car window, I really want to take a picture."
A hot body approaches and then moves away. You can hear his heavy breathing as he tries to stop himself from breathing when he gets close, and you can also hear a chuckle as he gets close to you.
You're thinking with your eyes closed, what's there to hum about?
You immediately turn to look at him, and he smiles as he takes a step back and stands still, his tie slightly askew, followed by a group of employees who are running around in a haphazard, panting manner.
The whole process lasted less than a minute, as if he appeared in the blink of an eye.
You cross your arms, raise an eyebrow at him, and ask if he has anything else to say.
He held out his phone towards you. You glanced at it and saw a QR code. You didn't move, just looked at him with a puzzled expression. What did this mean?
He leaned forward and said in a voice only the two of you could hear, "Now that we're getting engaged, how can I, as your fiancé, not have your fiancée's contact information?"
Your silence is a reasonable excuse.
Who would believe that these two bitter rivals, who have been fighting for seven or eight years, didn't have each other's WeChat accounts and relied solely on unofficial, niche channels to obtain information about each other's movements?
Helpless, you take out your phone, open WeChat, and prepare to scan the QR code, only to see him cover the QR code on his phone with his other hand, as if he wouldn't let you scan it. You're annoyed by his actions; he just said he'd add you, and now he's blocking it with his other hand. You look at him with dissatisfaction, your brows furrowed tightly.
His smile remained unchanged, and his words were spoken softly, like a feather drifting into your ear, tickling you but impossible to remove.
"Chen Yulan, I don't want to add this WeChat account, I want to add your own WeChat account."
He bit down hard on the last few words, slamming each one clearly into your face.
