The phone rang three times before it was quickly picked up, and Lin Tong gave Liu Ying a sidelong glance, then suddenly asked in a sweet voice, "Honey, where are you?"
On the other end, hearing the voice from the phone, Ye Xuan displayed a puzzled expression and thought to himself, "What is this woman up to? Could it be that she’s feeling frisky!"
Still, he lazily responded, "I’m in the office, what’s up, wife?"
"Oh, it’s nothing much, just missing you a bit and wanted to hear your voice!"
Lin Tong’s voice was gentle and affectionate, even a bit coquettish.
After saying this, she even threw a provocative glance at Liu Ying, clearly intending for her to hear it, her expression full of contempt!
"Hehe, missing me? Do you want to battle it out with your husband for three hundred rounds and beg for mercy on the ground?"
Ye Xuan grinned naughtily. Although he didn’t quite understand Lin Tong’s intent, that did not prevent him from revealing his lecherous nature and playing along with her words.
"Ah! That’s not it, don’t get any weird ideas."
Lin Tong’s face flushed with embarrassment as she couldn’t help but recall yesterdays’ flirty skirmish with Ye Xuan in the office, her cheeks involuntarily heating up and her heart feeling incredibly shy!
Internally, she cursed him as a deadbeat, always thinking about such embarrassing stuff! Can’t he think about more normal things in his head?
Not wanting to dwell on this topic, she quickly changed the subject:
"Honey, I needed to talk to you about some official business. The CEO of Liu Group, Liu Ying, has already come to our company, ready to sign the cooperation agreement! However, she insists on your presence, saying if she doesn’t see you, she won’t sign the contract with the company. I know you’re busy, but could you find some time to come over?"
Hearing this, Ye Xuan was taken aback. Don’t you know how busy I am or not? Probably the most relaxed person in the whole company is me!
My wife is a bit strange today!
"Ahem... Well, if you don’t mind, should I come over and meet her?" Ye Xuan coughed and tentatively asked.
"Come over, it’s in the large conference room on the top floor!" Lin Tong said.
"Okay! I’ll be right there!"
After saying that, Ye Xuan hung up the phone, left the office, and hurriedly walked toward the meeting.
Inside the conference room.
After ending the call, Lin Tong put away her phone and said to Liu Ying, "The CEO, my husband, will be here soon!"
Liu Ying nodded and giggly said, "President Lin is really straightforward."
Having said that, she gave a look to a middle-aged man in a suit behind her and then added, "President Lin, before Ye Xuan arrives, why don’t you take a look at the contract content?"
The man in the suit, who was the contract lawyer brought by Liu Ying, immediately handed over the two file folders he was holding to Lin Tong.
Lin Tong took the file folders, casually picked up one, and handed the other one to Lin Dongfang.
Then, she walked over to the round table, sat down, pulled out the contract document from inside, and started to read it carefully.
Lin Dongfang’s eyes flickered slightly as he sat down the round table as well, opened the file folder, and took out the contract. Unlike Lin Tong, he directly skipped the unimportant text at the beginning and started reading the important clauses. After finishing the crucial parts, he then proceeded to read the content in the beginning!
After reviewing the contract, Lin Dongfang’s eyes were filled with deep shock, and his emotions surged uncontrollably.
The clauses he had focused on were all favorable to Eastern Group! It was exactly as Lin Tong had described, it seemed the other party hadn’t deceived him, and Liu Group sincerely wanted to help them, initiating comprehensive collaboration.
However, amidst his excitement, his feelings became extremely complex, even contradictory!
If Liu Group, this behemoth, could be managed by Ye Xuan, then the agency contracts with the other three companies must not be difficult either.
If he let the other party take them all back, would he really have to give up the chairman’s position and hand over the whole company to Lin Tong?
He sighed inwardly, perhaps it was time for him to step aside and let others take the lead.
Just then, the conference room door was pushed open, and a tall man walked in, it was Ye Xuan who had hurried over after hanging up the phone with Lin Tong.
"Big guy, you’re here too!"
Seeing Ye Xuan, Liu Ying’s eyes brightened immediately, and she greeted him with a beaming smile, saying in a coquettish tone, "It’s been a while, and you’re still so tall, handsome, and charming, impossible not to fall in love with."
Damn! What does this woman mean? Is she trying to put me in my place right from the start?
Ye Xuan rolled his eyes, inwardly speechless, wondering if his wife would be jealous? Thinking this, his gaze also fell on Liu Ying.
Today, this woman was dressed relatively normally, in a simple black-and-white ensemble! A white, stand-collar blouse on top,
and a black body-hugging mini skirt below. Her slender waist, no more than a handful could grasp, emphasized her devilish curves!
The skirt just covered her thighs, perfectly showcasing her long, voluptuous legs. Especially, wrapped in black stockings, adding an element of seduction! The vaguely visible fair skin underneath made one almost desire to rip them off.
Ye Xuan stared at the long legs covered in black stockings, muttering inwardly: "Such an important occasion today, how could this woman shamelessly wear black stockings? She couldn’t be trying to seduce me, could she!"
However, Ye Xuan soon diverted his gaze; as enticing as those legs were, with his wife watching him like a hawk, he dared not look any longer.
"Ahem, I wonder what Miss Liu wanted by asking to see me?" Ye Xuan touched his nose and asked with a cough.
Liu Ying’s lips curved slightly, and she smiled seductively, "Nothing much, just missed you, so I came specially to see you!"
While saying this, Liu Ying also deliberately glanced at Lin Tong.
Then, she walked up to Ye Xuan, traced circles with her slender fingers on his chest, pursed her lips, and said earnestly,
"Ever since that night we parted, it feels like you took my heart with you. I can’t concentrate on anything, missing you at meals, and even in sleep. You haven’t come to see me these days, so I had to take the initiative to come find you. Without seeing you, I fear I might fall ill with lovesickness!"
Liu Ying’s words were very ambiguous, and her tone carried a hint of melancholy, as if there really was something between her and Ye Xuan!
To those unaware, her words could easily lead them astray, thus causing deeper misunderstandings. For instance, Lin Dongfang, who misconstrued her words!
In his understanding, he definitely thought Ye Xuan and Liu Ying had been intimate, otherwise why would she say such things?
This infuriated him; this young man, unsatisfied with having his daughter, was shamelessly pursuing other women.
Moreover, with the CEO of Liu Group, was he just playing the gigolo? This demeaned his daughter!
Despite his inner rage, Lin Dongfang dared not express it, and could only suppress it silently within his heart.
