25: Chapter 24 National Enemy 25: Chapter 24 National Enemy Just after leaving, Mu Chen’s face was not as relaxed as one might imagine.
Marriage; it’s something he had never considered.
If people knew he actually got married, what kind of expression would they have?
Mu Chen couldn’t believe it, but the thought of Liu Yuxi’s helpless expression earlier didn’t give Mu Chen any reason not to agree.
Saving a beauty from distress had always been his duty, and having the stunningly beautiful Liu Yuxi as his wife would indeed be a great honor to flaunt around.
Life can be so bizarre sometimes.
You never know what will happen next.
And Mu Chen was truly shocked by the next moment, though this shock led to gaining a wife.
“Forget it, marrying Liu Yuxi isn’t bad.
Full board plus a 100,000 yuan, and most importantly, it doesn’t interfere with my flirtations.
I get to face a goddess of beauty every day.
Just thinking about it makes me happy.” Mu Chen suddenly felt like he had scored a huge bargain and said with a laugh.
However, at that moment, Tong Lisha slowly walked over and saw Mu Chen’s sleazy smile, which immediately made her frown with displeasure.
“Hello, beautiful Lisa, we meet again.
I feel like heaven is arranging for me to be by your side, to rescue you from the clutches of boredom every day.
Ah, I’m really too noble.”
“What are you doing here?” Tong Lisha asked, obviously annoyed.
“Of course, I’m here to see my wife.
I told you before, Liu Yuxi has fallen deeply in love with me.
She thinks of me every minute, and this time she thought of me so desperately that I had to come see her.”
“Can’t you make up a better lie?
I don’t know if you’re sick or what.”
“Beautiful Lisa, how did you know I’m sick?
I have lovesickness for you, and I can’t bear to be apart from you for even a minute.
Look, heaven is so kind to me, letting you appear before me right away.”
I can’t even be bothered with you.” Tong Lisha said angrily and immediately turned to leave.
“Beautiful Lisa, can you swivel your hips a little when you walk?
Don’t waste such a beautiful backside!” Mu Chen said.
After Mu Chen spoke, Tong Lisha walked away even faster, ignoring him.
“A fiery mixed-beauty; there will be plenty of opportunities in the future.
I’ll make you fall for me, to the point where you can’t extricate yourself.” Saying this, Mu Chen quickly left.
After returning to the sales department, Mu Chen greeted a few women colleagues before starting to play games right away.
Although it was his first time playing LoL, Mu Chen was quite talented.
After a few games, he had already thoroughly mastered it—assassins, ADC, tanks, and so on—easily handling the game to alleviate his boredom.
But with Mu Chen playing, all the women stared with wide eyes, incredulous that someone would play games during working hours.
Even Dongfang Aoxue, who passed by, did not even glance at him or bother him, leading them to feel that this Mu Chen must be someone with extraordinary background, as no one else would have that privilege.
“Mu Chen, are you some rich second-generation who came here to experience life?” Zhang Xiaoxiao asked, unable to contain her curiosity.
Mu Chen, who was playing the game, seriously said, “No, the president is my wife, so this place belongs to me.
I can do whatever I want.”
If the president was your wife, the world wouldn’t exist,” Bai Xuling said, disbelieving.
We’ve known the president for so long here, she’s an aloof and chilly beauty—the ultimate challenge for any man.
She’s not just the object of admiration for countless young talents in Tianhai City, but also the beloved of many young people across Yun Country,” Zhang Xiaoxiao said, also disbelieving.
“All right, I know you don’t believe me, so I can’t help it.”
“Let’s not press you anymore.
It’s already twelve o’clock.
Do you want to have lunch together?” Zhang Xiaoxiao asked.
“Ha ha, having lunch with beautiful ladies, what an honor.”
“Should we invite Yao Yue to join us?” Bai Xuling asked.
“No need for me, I’ll eat later,” Yao Yue said with an expressionless face, barely managing a response.
“Yao Yue, are you not feeling well?” Bai Xuling asked with concern.
“No, don’t worry about me.”
“Are you sure you’re okay?”
“Well then, let’s just the three of us go eat!” Bai Xuling relented.
Although Mu Chen would have liked the beautiful Yao Yue to join them, he ultimately did not say anything and decided not to pry, since Yao Yue seemed not to want to.
“Do you guys know what’s going on with Yao Yue?
I feel something’s off since I came back,” Mu Chen couldn’t help but ask curiously as the three left the sales department.
“Don’t know, but it seems like after Yao Yue got a phone call, she’s been different.
It’s the first time I’ve seen her ,” Bai Xuling said seriously.
“That means something must have happened,” Mu Chen deduced at a glance.
Otherwise, Yao Yue wouldn’t look so listless,” Zhang Xiaoxiao agreed.
“Let’s just have peace of mind and eat.
If Yao Yue doesn’t want to talk about it, let’s not bother ourselves with it,” Bai Xuling stated earnestly.
“Ha ha, you’re right.
I’ve forgotten that I have two beauties accompanying me for lunch, ha ha…”
Even as Mu Chen spoke carelessly, he was secretly determined to find out what was going on.
Following that, the three of them cheerfully made their way to Qingcheng International’s twelfth floor, which was also the employee dining area.
Although it was an employee dining area, it was just like a high-end restaurant, with various luxurious chandeliers, plush sofas, and wooden floors—it was quite nice.
However, when the three arrived, there were already dozens of people there, which accounted for a part of the lunch crowd.
The arrival of the three, especially Bai Xuling and Zhang Xiaoxiao, immediately drew the attention of more than a dozen male colleagues.
Some even greeted them, which left Mu Chen speechless.
Scanning the room, aside from a few who barely made seventy points, the rest were only in the fifty to sixty range and failed to catch Mu Chen’s interest.
“Let’s sit by the window over there!” Zhang Xiaoxiao suggested.
Mu Chen didn’t voice any opinion and simply nodded his head in agreement, as he wasn’t interested in the seating but in the beautiful women.
“Beautiful ladies, go ahead and take your seats!
I’ll go get the food for you,” Mu Chen said earnestly.
“Thank you!” The two women expressed their thanks without refusal.
Following that, Mu Chen quickly got three bowls of rice and took a variety of different dishes, eventually bringing them over to the women’s table.
“Why do I feel like I’ve become public enemy number one?” Mu Chen said as soon as he sat down, looking at the two women.
That’s because along the way, he had noticed unfriendly glances directed at him.
Look at who you’re having lunch with.
Although we aren’t as beautiful as Dongfang Aoxue, we still have our charms.
More importantly, we’re single.
Your presence in the sales department naturally makes you the enemy of all male colleagues,” Both women said with a laugh.
“What would they do if I had lunch with beauties like Dongfang Aoxue or Tong Lisha?”
“They’d probably explode,” both women said, laughing.
