Chapter 94: Chapter 93: Invite her to be my companion
Xiao Qimo sat quietly on the sofa, ignoring Ye Jinwen, who was fuming overhead.
He calmly looked at his phone, savoring the information gleaned from another young couple caught in puppy love.
[The romance of student days: sharing a desk is marriage, changing a desk is divorce, different classes mean a long-distance relationship, different grades equate to international love.]
Ye Jinwen craned his neck to see, snatched the phone away angrily.
“Qimo, what’s there to ponder about this? Isn’t it just saying that spending day and night together helps to foster affection?” After speaking, he spat dismissively, “I’m begging you, can you maybe focus a bit on work? Have you forgotten why you came to Wucheng?”
The genteel man was not annoyed, his profound gaze slowly landing on Ye Jinwen’s face, calmly waiting for him to continue.
“Qimo, it must be him! He knows you’re in Wucheng, intentionally aiming for your head. Otherwise, how could it be such a coincidence that the cases we’re eyeing always seem to be snapped up before us? Guardian God of Wucheng, pfft, I think he just wants to cross you!”
Xiao Qimo elegantly lifted his beautiful finger, waving it dismissively, “If one lacks the ability, one can’t blame others.”
… Fine then! Ye Jinwen had nothing else to say, only feeling indignant that someone had been poaching on the turf they had taken over.
So Qimo isn’t bothered about losing face, huh?
“Qimo, are you attending La Yang Corporation’s evening party today? The one involving the company suspected of withholding workers’ wages but somehow always avoiding getting caught?”
“The evening party…” Xiao Qimo seemed to recall something, composed himself, and straightened his collar, nodding, “You’re right.”
“I’ll call Lu Mian, invite her to attend the party as my female companion,” said the suave and elegant man, getting to his feet.
Ye Jinwen rolled his eyes, “Do you even know her number…”
Ultimately, under the caring and formidable gaze of Xiao Qimo, Ye Jinwen dutifully surrendered Lu Mian’s phone number. He had it from when she had come for psychological counseling.
Lu Mian was free that evening.
However, she wasn’t interested in playing the role of Xiao Qimo’s female companion.
“Why can’t it be the female CEO bringing two assistants to the banquet?” she asked.
Xiao Qimo and Ye Jinwen were somewhat at a loss for words.
Anyway, no matter what, Lu Mian agreed to attend together.
Ye Jinwen drove the car downstairs with Xiao Qimo sitting in the backseat.
The girl, dressed in a simple black shirt and form-fitting black trousers, arrived punctually downstairs. Her sleeves rolled up, revealing a stretch of cool, delicate wrists. Those long legs, wrapped in the form of the pants, were incredibly long.
Xiao Qimo, the gentleman, invited her into the car, adding, “Sorry for the last-minute invitation.”
“I beat up Su Jue this morning, and you didn’t arrest me—it’s my way of saying thanks,” she chuckled as she bent down and slid into the car.
Ye Jinwen let out a “wow,” although her attire didn’t fit the evening’s setting, she looked honestly cool!
It was his first time seeing the black color worn so strikingly by a girl.
He glanced sideways at his own boss’s outfit, a similarly black suit.
Oh, the two big shots had matched couple outfits.
Looking down at his own white suit, he secretly gloated.
Why did he feel like he was the real CEO, and the two dressed in black behind him looked more like bodyguards?
“Drive,” came the deep, elegant voice from behind.
Pleased with himself, Ye Jinwen stepped on the gas, “You got it!”
The party venue was at the La Yang Corporation’s owner’s house.
They drove all the way there.
After parking the car, Ye Jinwen sneaked up to Xiao Qimo’s side and muttered, “Qimo, just watch, I’ve arranged for someone tonight, we’ll definitely catch that Guardian God of Wucheng!”
