115: Chapter 115: Conversation Between Qin Rumeng and Tang Yurou 115: Chapter 115: Conversation Between Qin Rumeng and Tang Yurou When Ye Xunhuan arrived at the cafeteria, it was already packed to the gills, and since no one was queuing, Ye Xunhuan went straight to get his meal.
However, Ye Xunhuan’s appearance attracted quite a bit of attention.
Firstly, Ye Xunhuan was now a star figure at Huangtu Group, and secondly, Ye Xunhuan was particularly conspicuous today—no help for it, his face was swollen, how could he not be?
Tang Yurou also saw Ye Xunhuan.
When she saw Ye Xunhuan’s slightly swollen cheek, she immediately froze and then stood up to wave at Ye Xunhuan.
After seeing Tang Yurou, Ye Xunhuan immediately walked over with a smile on his face.
When Ye Xunhuan finally reached Tang Yurou’s side, she immediately grabbed him, full of concern, and asked, “Xunhuan, what happened to you?”
“It’s nothing!” Ye Xunhuan shook his head, “It’ll be fine in a couple of days.”
As she spoke, Tang Yurou reached out to gently touch Ye Xunhuan’s cheek, her movements were extremely careful, as if she were afraid to cause him any more pain.
Moreover, her delicate face also showed a hint of sadness.
“It doesn’t hurt,” Ye Xunhuan said, shaking his head.
“How can it not hurt when there are finger marks?” Tang Yurou said, seeming very upset.
The people in the cafeteria, seeing Tang Yurou treating Ye Xunhuan so tenderly, began to envy, to be jealous, and to hate.
This guy, in just a few days, had their “Commoner Goddess” worrying and hurting for him so deeply.
Qiu Ruoxi had been paying attention to Ye Xunhuan ever since he entered the cafeteria, and when she saw Tang Yurou reach out to touch his cheek, especially with that heartbroken look, Qiu Ruoxi felt very uncomfortable, as if her emotions were a spilled bottle of mixed flavors, quite unpleasant.
The chopsticks in her hand were gripped tightly, her eyes emitting a bone-chilling coldness.
Whether it was men or women, both were creatures with a strong sense of possession.
Even though Qiu Ruoxi didn’t like to look at Ye Xunhuan, after all, he was her husband in name, and just moments ago, Ye Xunhuan had told her, “You’re also my backup, I plan to promote Tang Yurou.”
How could she feel good seeing the affectionate way Tang Yurou and Ye Xunhuan were with each other now?
At that moment, Tang Yurou completely ignored everyone else’s gaze, totally unconcerned.
At this moment, her eyes only had Ye Xunhuan; it seemed as if her entire world at that moment only had Ye Xunhuan left in it.
“Who exactly hit you, how could they be so vicious,” Tang Yurou said somewhat angrily.
“How could they hit someone in the face, and you too, why didn’t you run if you couldn’t win…”
Listening to Tang Yurou’s constant chatter, Ye Xunhuan didn’t feel annoyed at all; on the contrary, his heart was filled with warmth.
In the bustling city life where people wallowed in banalities, lost in the glittering temptations of urban life, who would remember that a woman fussing over you is happiness, a sign of affection?
Otherwise, why wouldn’t she fuss over someone else?
Is it because no one wants her?
No, it’s simply because she likes you.
Ye Xunhuan was no seventeen or eighteen-year-old greenhorn, nor was he inexperienced in matters of love and romance; how could he not understand the reasons?
“It was an elder from the family who did it; it’s like you can run from a monk, but not from the temple,” Ye Xunhuan said helplessly.
“Ah!” Tang Yurou was startled, “But they still shouldn’t have hit the face…”
“It wasn’t meant for me originally!” Ye Xunhuan said softly, “It was meant for someone else, but I just blocked it for her.”
“You’re just asking for trouble.
Are you silly?” Tang Yurou couldn’t help but extend her hand and poke Ye Xunhuan’s forehead.
The gesture looked just like a girl in the thralls of love poking her boyfriend.
With that poke from Tang Yurou, Ye Xunhuan pretended to wince, which immediately made Tang Yurou’s face tense up with worry, “What’s wrong, are you okay…”
The concern in Tang Yurou’s face was unmistakable.
Ye Xunhuan chuckled, “It hurts on the face…”
“I’ll go and get some red flower oil for you later and rub it in,” said Tang Yurou in an extremely charming manner.
Throughout the meal, Ye Xunhuan ate with relish, while everyone else wore faces full of jealous resentment, almost wishing they could challenge Ye Xunhuan to a duel.
But then they remembered their own status and had no choice but to sit back down.
Ye Xunhuan was enjoying his food, but Qiu Ruoxi was eating with a stomach full of anger.
She wished she could take out her phone, capture the scene, and show it to Qiu Shuihan later to let him see what kind of man Ye Xunhuan really was.
Qiu Ruoxi was seething, while Qin Muge felt a bit sour in her heart, not pleased.
Ye Xunhuan had been a great help to her yesterday.
Although the guy had a mocking tone, she had to admit that in that moment, Ye Xunhuan had been very manly.
And when Ye Xunhuan had kissed her forcefully, she had the thought of submitting to this man, of course, partially because he had taken advantage of her before.
Since ancient times, some are happy while others grieve.
Now, having enjoyed his lunch, Ye Xunhuan left the restaurant with Tang Yurou under the envious stares of everyone.
Back in the office, Ye Xunhuan took out the red flower oil, and Tang Yurou began carefully applying it to him with a cotton swab.
After she finished, Tang Yurou let out a long sigh, “There, all done!”
Ye Xunhuan stood up straight from the sofa.
“Where are you going?” asked Tang Yurou, seeing his movement and quickly inquiring.
“Little brother needs to relieve himself, want to join?”
Upon hearing Ye Xunhuan’s words, a blush immediately spread across Tang Yurou’s cheeks.
Ye Xunhuan smiled mischievously at her reaction but didn’t tease Tang Yurou further, heading straight for the restroom.
It must be said that being a leader at Huangtu Group was indeed nice, having a private restroom and a lounge.
Not long after Ye Xunhuan left, a pleasant ringtone suddenly emanated from the office.
It wasn’t his own cell phone, was it?
Immediately, Tang Yurou looked around and discovered that Ye Xunhuan’s phone was on the sofa.
Picking up the phone, Tang Yurou walked toward the restroom door, “Xunhuan, your phone is ringing?”
“Just answer it for me and say I’ll be right out!” Ye Xunhuan quickly responded.
With a soft acknowledgment, Tang Yurou directly picked up the call for Ye Xunhuan!
Both voices almost simultaneously erupted.
Qin Rumeng was startled after hearing Tang Yurou’s voice – why was it a woman’s?
The same was true for Tang Yurou – who was this calling Ye Xunhuan a little rascal in such an affectionate manner?
In the capital, Qin Rumeng glanced at her phone – she hadn’t dialed incorrectly!
“Oh, I’m Xunhuan’s friend.
He’s in the restroom right now.
You should wait for him…”
“What kind of friend are you to that little rascal?” Qin Rumeng asked, “His girlfriend?”
“Please don’t misunderstand, I…
I’m just a regular friend…” said Tang Yurou, nervously.
