Chapter 657: Chapter 657: You’re too happy, aren’t you?_1
Is that so? How come in his past memories, when the whole family was against him marrying the mermaid, he didn’t remember his Second Uncle stepping forward to support him?
If truly regarded her as the daughter of a good friend, logically he would have certainly cherished her. So why didn’t Second Uncle play the role he was supposed to in his past memories?
Ye Junqing propped his chin with one hand, sinking into contemplation.
After Ye Xingguang was full from eating and drinking, she wiped her mouth. When their motorcade stopped at the entrance to the Presidential Palace, she unbuckled her seat belt, waving at him, “I’m going down.”
She was just about to open the door when Ye Junqing, who’d been deep in thought the entire way, suddenly grabbed her wrist. She looked up, surprised. Ye Junqing pointed at his face. It took her a moment to understand.
“Say goodbye, won’t you?” Ye Junqing expressed dissatisfaction with her slow reaction.
Unable to help it, Ye Xingguang lifted a corner of her lips into a grin. She didn’t make a move, but instead closed her eyes, waiting…
Seeing her reaction, Ye Junqing just leaned in, his large palm cradling the back her head, and then, sealing her pink lips with a passionate kiss. Ye Xingguang blushed, her mind flitting back to the intimate moments between them the night before at the swimming pool.
“Get off, and work well.” Ye Junqing seemed satisfied after, letting go of her hand. He looked at her smeared lipstick, silently chuckled to himself without reminding her to adjust her makeup.
Ye Xingguang didn’t realize it herself, and after she got off, she anxiously scurried into the office building of the President Palace.
The President’s office building was imposing and majestic, exuding a serious atmosphere. She took out her phone and snapped a selfie, “New work environment, let’s do this!”
At the elevator doors, she noticed several girls standing nearby looking at her and trying to suppress their giggles. She only realized why once she entered the new office on the fifth floor, and a colleague had pointed out the smudged makeup on her lips. She was utterly mortified.
Ah, Ye Junqing, that jerk, smudging her lipstick and not even reminding her to wipe her mouth, too evil!
After fixing her lipstick in the washroom, she returned to her desk, pulled out her phone and sent Ye Junqing a bloody knife emoji on WeChat. As soon as she finished, one of her female coworkers came over, curious to see the diamond ring on her finger.
“Xingguang, your diamond ring is really beautiful. I saw the news online, Mr. Ye proposed to you at the inauguration banquet last night, how fortunate! It’s a pity I wasn’t qualified to attend.”
“It looks good, does it? I think dark blue is better than black,” Ye Xingguang responded with false modesty, her heart filled with sweetness, hoping someone would disagree with her statement.
“Black is rarer and more valuable, the high society prefers black, don’t be ungrateful. Besides, that diamond is a Love Diamond, implying that you are Mr. Ye’s beloved. As for the alleged confession hidden in the Mermaid Theme Park circulating online, it’s all in the past, we should look forward.”
“Exactly, others might not know, but we do. When Mr. President was running for election, Xia Yanyan caused a scene insisting that Mr. Ye marry her. Mr. Ye would rather go to jail than agree. So, there’s no need to entertain those online speculations.”
“I heard that the Xia family has another daughter who is also a mermaid, the girl who composed the song for Ling Han’s new album, named Xia Qiongqiong. Do you know about this?”
