Chapter 251: Does It Have Anything to Do with You?
Ye Qingcheng saw Xiao Tianyu holding another woman in his arms. This made Ye Qingcheng's heart grow cold. Even though Xiao Tianyu was her husband in name, it was still unpleasant to watch him embrace another woman in front of her.
The main issue was that it was Shangguan Biyue, a long-time rival of Qingcheng International.
Not only that, a few days ago in front of Qingcheng International, Xiao Tianyu was even picked up by Shangguan Biyue. According to Xiao Tianyu, they booked a room and had a fierce night together.
Shangguan Biyue snuggled in Xiao Tianyu's arms, showing a blissful smile.
Xiao Tianyu had just mentioned she was staying at Ye Qingcheng's house. If he said there was nothing between them, Shangguan Biyue naturally wouldn't believe it, so she took the initiative.
Then, Shangguan Biyue looked at Ye Qingcheng with her beautiful eyes: "President Ye, what a coincidence! I didn't expect to run into you here!"
"Quite the coincidence indeed!" Ye Qingcheng replied coldly.
She couldn't help but glance at Xiao Tianyu, but his gaze wasn't on her, which made Ye Qingcheng inexplicably angry.
That bastard holding another woman in front of me, what does he mean by that? Is he trying to get back at me? Ha, does he really think I care?
Then, Ye Qingcheng said to Shangguan Biyue in a chilly tone: "You two know each other?"
This question was obviously rhetorical. If they didn't know each other, would Xiao Tianyu hold Shangguan Biyue in his arms? If they didn't know each other, would Shangguan Biyue have picked Xiao Tianyu up at Qingcheng International's doorstep, and she herself, Ye Qingcheng, even chased them for miles by car?
Upon hearing this, Shangguan Biyue seemed quite surprised. She responded with a gentle smile: "So President Ye didn't know?"
"Know what?"
"That he's my boyfriend. I thought Tianyu had mentioned it to you!" With that, Shangguan Biyue glanced at Xiao Tianyu with her beautiful eyes: "Tianyu, you're impossible. We've even booked a room together, what's there to hide? Or am I not worthy of you?"
"..." This woman deliberately dragged me into this mess, what does she mean? Xiao Tianyu was left speechless but didn't bother explaining, and asked, "How about we rest over there?"
"Okay!" Shangguan Biyue nodded with a smile.
There were a few benches just a few meters ahead, meant for people to rest after morning exercises. Shangguan Biyue was placed on one by Xiao Tianyu, who said, "Take a rest here first!"
"Where are you going?"
"To buy some medicine!"
"How considerate!" Shangguan Biyue smiled slightly, feeling indescribably happy inside.
But Ye Qingcheng was furious, her chest rising and falling sharply. She said to Xiao Tianyu, "What exactly is your relationship?"
"Do I need to explain it to you?" Xiao Tianyu replied indifferently.
Indeed, whatever relationship he had with Shangguan Biyue, does he need to explain it to Ye Qingcheng?
And what exactly is the relationship between Xiao Tianyu and Ye Qingcheng? Speaking bluntly, it's just a marriage of convenience, nothing more. Besides, even if there were a relationship, Ye Qingcheng had said it was purely based on money.
Moreover, it wasn't even office hours. Does he need to explain? Even if it were work hours, Ye Qingcheng had no right to question Xiao Tianyu's personal affairs.
"You…" Ye Qingcheng choked, unable to speak. This bastard is doing this on purpose, flirting around from the Great Qing Dynasty, it must be to get back at me. Yet, he has a point, what does it matter between us?
"Don't look at me like that, I owe you nothing!" With that said, Xiao Tianyu turned to leave. Shangguan Biyue said, "Tianyu, I have a first-aid kit at home, here's the electronic lock key!"
As she said this, Shangguan Biyue tossed a key over. Xiao Tianyu caught it and Shangguan Biyue smiled lightly saying, "Keep this key with you from now on!"
"Okay!" Xiao Tianyu nodded and walked away.
Ye Qingcheng watched the affectionate exchange between Xiao Tianyu and Shangguan Biyue, feeling an icy chill spreading.
Shangguan Biyue then said to Ye Qingcheng, "Some people don't appreciate what they have until it's gone and come to regret it deeply. Apparently, I'm not such a person. Once I seize something, I decide decisively!"
"What do you mean?"
"It means nothing, just a reminder to myself!" Shangguan Biyue replied with a smile.
From the earlier conversation, how could she not see the relationship between Ye Qingcheng and Xiao Tianyu? Otherwise, what has she been living for all these years?
Shangguan Biyue continued, "Don't look at me like that. After all, our two families are now supposed to be in a collaborative relationship, we should be on the same page!"
"I don't have time to deal with you!" Ye Qingcheng said coldly, then turned and walked away.
Still, on the way, she couldn't shake off the scene of Xiao Tianyu holding Shangguan Biyue from her mind. Why am I still thinking about that guy? That guy is an out-and-out bastard.
The more she told herself this, the more uneasy she felt. But when she thought of Yi Tianxing, who graduated from the same university as her three years ago, she gradually let it go.
As for Shangguan Biyue, she gazed at Ye Qingcheng's retreating figure with a slight upward curl of her lips. This woman is so formidable in business yet a complete mess in love. A bit foolish, isn't she? This just presents an opportunity for me to take advantage.
Soon after, Xiao Tianyu came jogging back, but he was empty-handed, causing Shangguan Biyue to be stunned. Where did the first-aid kit go? Did he eat it?
When Xiao Tianyu reached her, Shangguan Biyue asked, "Where's the first-aid kit?"
"The person's gone, do you still need the first-aid kit?" Xiao Tianyu uncharacteristically responded.
Huh?
Upon hearing this, Shangguan Biyue was taken aback. Did her cover get blown? No, wait, was I not convincing enough?
"Did you enjoy my little act? Satisfied now?" Xiao Tianyu said.
Shangguan Biyue made a face, "What act? I genuinely like you, okay!"
"..." Xiao Tianyu kept silent. He certainly didn't believe her; this woman was quite shrewd and obviously had a purpose for getting close to him.
Then, without a word, Xiao Tianyu began to jog away.
"Tianyu, wait up…" Shangguan Biyue followed, "Are you mad at me because of what happened just now?"
"No time to be mad!"
"Then why are you ignoring me?"
"Am I?"
"Yes!" Shangguan Biyue showed a hint of grievance and continued, "Just now, seeing Ye Qingcheng's angry look, I want to know what's really between you two!"
"Worker and boss relationship!" Xiao Tianyu's voice was very flat: "Anything else you want to ask?"
Who are you trying to fool, huh?
Shangguan Biyue showed a hint of disbelief: "A worker and boss relationship, and she gets that mad? Clearly, she's jealous. And if it's just a worker and boss relationship, would she let you live in her house?"
"You're overthinking!" Xiao Tianyu shook his head, not explaining anything. He continued, "I have to go to work now, bye~"
"See you later!" Shangguan Biyue's voice was gentle, comforting to hear, making Xiao Tianyu wonder, despite both being presidents, why was Shangguan Biyue so approachable?
Little did he know, Shangguan Biyue was only gentle with him, and as cold as an ice mountain with everyone else.
