Chapter 57, The 57th Beam of Light: "We've been discovered... then let's hug again..."
The moment the door opened, the two people who were locked in a passionate kiss stopped simultaneously. Yu Mushang gently pulled Song Xingyun by the neck, drawing her into his arms and shielding her face from view, while he looked towards the door.
Although Ying Qi wasn't particularly perceptive, she could still recognize who was in her boss's arms. "Boss... Assistant Song... you... you... you... you... you..."
Ying Qi's voice was so loud that the entire office could hear it, "I didn't see anything!" After saying that, she closed the door again, the door dividing the awkward atmosphere in two places.
Outside the door.
Ying Qi rubbed her eyes frantically. "Am I hallucinating? Is this real? Should I peek through the crack in the door again?"
"No, no!" He pinched the flesh of his arm. "Ouch! That hurts!"
At this moment, Ying Qi's mind uncontrollably replayed the scene she had witnessed a minute earlier, "The boss and Assistant Song..."
He covered his mouth, his expression shifting from shock to gossip. "I never thought the boss would resort to forced sex?"
Wasn't that scene just now a case of forced love?
"Hey, wait, does that mean I'm all alone now?" Ying Qi started "analyzing," "Could it be that the boss was rejected yesterday, then drowned his sorrows in alcohol, and tried again today?"
While Ying Qi was muttering to herself outside, the two inside remained in their original positions, and the air suddenly became quiet.
Finally, Song Xingyun was the first to come to her senses and realize that Ying Qi had caught them like this... A wave of shy heat shot from her feet to the top of her head, strong enough to lift her skull.
However, she quickly regained her composure.
Song Xingyun looked up from Yu Mushang's embrace at his handsome face, which looked innocent from every angle, and couldn't help but punch his chest with her fist. "Get up! We've been found out!"
In the past, Yu Mushang would have obediently followed orders.
But today he started acting like a spoiled child, burying his face in the crook of her neck and letting go of half his strength. "We've already been discovered, so let's hug for a little while longer. He won't dare to come in again."
"But..." Before Song Xingyun could finish her refusal, the man's tone turned aggrieved as he said, "Am I the one who makes you feel ashamed?"
Song Xingyun was a little flustered when he asked her that. "No, no, I'm just... a little unprepared..." She thought that she was the one who asked him not to go public from the beginning, and that she was the one who wasn't honest enough.
"Let's hug for a while longer."
After hearing this, someone curled their lips into a smile where she couldn't see it.
Five minutes later,
Song Xingyun couldn't help but scratch his back through the fabric of his shirt. "I've been hugging you for a while now, get up, be good."
Since she had already coaxed him like that, Yu Mushang didn't push his luck any further. He straightened up again, pulled her up, and began to admit his mistake, "I didn't think things through today."
He hadn't expected Ying Qi to have this habit of not knocking on doors. Could it be considered a lucky accident?
Song Xingyun could hear the grievance in his tone, but why was there a slight upturn at the corner of his mouth?
But it disappeared in the next second. Song Xingyun thought she was seeing things, so she didn't think much of it. She pouted, "I can't blame you for that. After all, it takes two to tango..."
She also bears some responsibility; beauty truly can be misleading.
Yu Mushang understood what she meant and chuckled, "Yes, my girlfriend is really understanding."
"Then let's go out now."
He looked excited, radiating a sense of exhilaration at finally finding an opportunity to announce it to the world.
Yu Mushang even forgot to bring his smart white cane.
Song Xingyun grabbed his wrist and pulled him back, "What's the rush?"
She reached to the side and pulled out a tissue, then tugged at his shirt collar, making him lower his head. She carefully wiped the lipstick stains off Yu Mushang's lips, saying softly, "Don't kiss so fiercely next time."
Ying Qi waited outside for a long time without any movement from inside. He couldn't wait any longer, so this time he knocked on the door twice as a token gesture before opening it. "Boss, I'm coming in."
Then he pushed the door open and went in.
The first thing he saw was the two of them wiping their mouths affectionately, another mouthful of fresh dog food (a Chinese slang term for witnessing public displays of affection). He sheepishly closed the door, slapped his mouth and hand, and said, "It's not like the sky is falling, why do you have to act like a fool again?"
Do you even know what a sense of boundaries is?
Ying Qi was scratching his head when a woman's voice rang out in front of him, "Why are you hitting yourself here? Are you possessed?"
Ying Qi looked up at the sound and saw Wen Ying. "Why are you here?"
Wen Ying crossed her arms in front of her chest. "Of course I'm here to see my Xingxing. I can't possibly be here to see you, can I?" Although she admitted that Ying Qi was decent-looking and had a good figure.
"Where is my star? I've walked around for ages and I can't find her. I'm lost."
Ying Qi thought to himself that he wasn't the only one with no sense of boundaries. Surprisingly, he wasn't angry, but he still retorted, "How can you just wander around in someone's house like that? Be careful, or I'll call the police and have you arrested!"
Upon hearing this, Wen Ying's eyes widened. "Do you think I wanted this? Who builds such a big house? And even uses it as an office? You should call the police and have your boss arrested."
Yingqi: ...
Wen Ying's gaze went past his shoulder and towards the office door behind him. "Is my Xingxing inside?" she asked, leaning forward as if to go in.
Ying Qi grabbed her shoulder and forcibly turned her around to a different direction. "She's not here. Don't trespass into private areas, or I'll really call the police to arrest you."
Ying Qi pushed Wen Ying away from there. Wen Ying was under his control and could only turn back and yell at him, "Why are you pushing me? Are you crazy?"
"Please pray!"
She shouted quite loudly, and Ying Qi reflexively covered her mouth, immediately softening his tone, "Okay, okay, I'm sick, alright? Ancestor, let's go."
Wen Ying is the type of person who responds better to gentle persuasion than force. "Since you've begged me like this, fine."
The two returned to the office area, and he pulled out the chair for Song Xingyun's workstation. "Have a seat for a while. Assistant Song will be out after her meeting."
Wen Ying didn't stand on ceremony. She plopped down in her chair, spun around, and looked up at him like a queen. "Xingxing has a meeting, but you don't. So, let's say that she and your boss, Mr. Yu, are alone in a room together right now... isn't that inappropriate?"
No wonder they say women are all Sherlock Holmes; when Ying Qi heard her last two sentences, he was almost sweating.
However, it seems that Wen Ying was also unaware of the truth, which made Ying Qi feel a little better. It turned out that they were both "being kept in the dark" in the world.
"I don't know." Even if I did know, I couldn't say!
However, Ying Qi noticed Wen Ying's expression, which was already wandering off into thought. "What? You want to set them up?"
Wen Ying lightly kicked his shin with the tip of her high heel. "Is it that obvious? You're pretty perceptive, bro!"
"So what kind of girl does Boss Yu actually like?"
This was the first time Wen Ying had seen Song Xingyun show such unexpected interest in painting. She really wanted to play matchmaker, so she tentatively asked, "You've been by Boss Yu's side for so long. Based on your understanding of him, do you think there's any chance between the two of them?"
Ying Qi thought to herself, "I can't exactly tell you they've already done it, can I? '50%'."
Hearing this probability, Wen Ying couldn't help but roll her eyes at him. "What's the difference between 50% and not saying anything at all! You're so tight-lipped, aren't you?"
No sooner had Wen Ying finished speaking than Song Xingyun appeared. "Wen Wen? Is it really you? I thought I misheard you."
It was that yell she made at the door of Yu Mushang's office.
Song Xingyun didn't dare to look Ying Qi in the eye.
Wen Ying had already gotten up and pulled her away from Yu Mushang, hugging her tightly. "I came because I missed you!"
She didn't forget to greet Yu Mushang, "Mr. Yu, you don't mind, do you? I won't interfere with your work."
When Song Xingyun was pulled away, a slight breeze arose, cool to the touch. Yu Mushang felt the emptiness beside him and his expression turned sour. He thought to himself, "It won't affect our work, but it will affect my mood."
He gave a faint "hmm," then called out Ying Qi's name, "Come in with me."
The two men turned and walked away, and only after they were out of sight did Wen Ying mimic Yu Mushang's tone and say, "Come in with me."
"Tsk tsk! Your boss is so arrogant! Luckily he's handsome, otherwise he'd easily get beaten up if he went out like that."
Song Xingyun pulled her to sit down, "Cold on the outside but warm on the inside! Our boss is a very nice person!"
Upon hearing this, Wen Ying exclaimed, "Oh my, our Xingyun is really protecting her." As she spoke, she looked Song Xingyun up and down, observing her face. "Song Xingyun, something's not right."
"I... what did I do? It's normal for me to defend him while I'm paid to do so." Song Xingyun nervously scratched her knees, her mind racing as she tried to figure out how to be honest with Wen Ying. She hadn't told her before because she was worried about instability, and also because she was afraid that Wen Ying, who wanted to be her matchmaker, would throw her a celebration party if she found out. So she was looking for a suitable time to tell her.
Now that Ying Qi knows, how far away is the day when Wen Ying finds out?
Wen Ying stopped teasing her and, remembering the person she had met at the door when she arrived, asked, "Do you have guests here today?"
Song Xingyun's eyes blinked. "How did you know?"
Wen Ying shrugged. "We ran into her. That pretty, powerful-looking woman, was she after your boss?"
Song Xingyun's mouth dropped open. "How do you know everything?"
Wen Ying's eyes sparkled. "There's some gossip! Tell me about it!"
Song Xingyun: ...
After removing the parts related to the company, Song Xingyun picked out the parts that Wen Ying wanted to hear. When Wen Ying heard the last part, she nudged her arm and said, "Why don't you hurry up and make your move? Don't blame me for not reminding you. Some people, once missed, are missed forever."
Song Xingyun felt guilty. "I can't exactly tell her that I've already caught him, can I...?" Otherwise, she could tell her little by little.
Song Xingyun stared at Wen Ying for three seconds, then raised her voice and said firmly, "I've made up my mind!"
Wen Ying cupped her face in her hands, "The way you're looking at me, with that reckless look, you wouldn't happen to like me, would you?"
Song Xingyun almost fainted at her words, and cleared her throat again, "Starting today, I'm going to pursue Yu Mushang relentlessly! I want him to fall at my feet within a week!"
His voice was quite loud, and his eyes were so determined, as if he wanted to join the Party, that Wen Ying was stunned.
Just as Song Xingyun finished speaking, a "thud" was heard behind her; it was the sound of the document in Ying Qi's hand falling to the ground.
Wen Ying, as if watching a spectacle, greeted the people behind Song Xingyun, "Hi~"
Song Xingyun froze, slowly turning around like a robot. She saw Yu Mushang and Ying Qi had arrived at some point. Ying Qi had stopped picking up the documents and was covering his ears with both hands. "I didn't hear anything," he said, showing a strong survival instinct. Yu Mushang, on the other hand, remained calm.
"You all heard that?" Song Xingyun immediately wanted to crawl into the carpet under her feet.
Wen Ying used a little force to push her towards Yu Mushang, but unexpectedly, she used too much force and fell into the arms of the expressionless boss. The familiar scent approached, and Yu Mushang caught her immediately.
Song Xingyun cursed her best friend in her heart, then looked up and saw Yu Mushang's somewhat dark face. Thinking of what he had said earlier, "Am I so embarrassing for you?" she felt guilty. "Hehe, boss..." Just as she was about to step back, the man grabbed her hand, which was originally respectfully placed on her lower abdomen, and began to caress it.
Although Wen Ying couldn't see it from this angle, Ying Qi, who was next to Yu Mushang, could see it clearly, and his eyes almost popped out of their sockets.
Song Xingyun's alarm bells rang loudly, but she couldn't break free. She could only try to appease him by lightly scratching the side of his finger with her fingernail, silently begging for mercy.
But the next second, everyone present heard Yu Mushang speak up, saying, "Oh? Assistant Song, are you going to pursue me relentlessly?"
