Chapter 297: Lovestruck
He thought of himself as someone who could turn clouds and flip rain with a simple gesture, yet now he had no solution in front of a little girl.
So what? When you need something from someone, you can't just knock them out, right? Is he the type to bully the weak?
Moreover, this was his first time out for a negotiation after becoming a director; he had boasted confidently at Biyue International before. If the deal went bad, who knows how Shangguan Biyue would ridicule him when he returned.
Xiao Tianyu thought secretly to himself, fine, endure for the sake of peace.
Thus, Xiao Tianyu's deep gaze fell on Gu Lingyue, speaking gently, "Lingyue..."
"Hmm, although with a dismissive expression, it's still barely acceptable!" Gu Lingyue nodded with satisfaction, a light smile on her face.
Xiao Tianyu continued, "So, can we talk now?"
"Go ahead, as long as you can impress me, I'll choose... wait, who are you representing?"
"Biyue International!" Xiao Tianyu's voice was calm as he continued, "Currently, I'm the administrative director of Biyue International. I'm here to discuss collaboration between our two companies on behalf of Biyue International!"
"How did Shangguan Biyue give you such authority, do you two have a thing?" Gu Lingyue's beautiful eyes stared at Xiao Tianyu, as if telling him, try lying to me.
Who was Xiao Tianyu? There's no way he couldn't see the jealousy in Gu Lingyue's eyes, so he wasn't foolish enough to admit it.
Immediately, Xiao Tianyu said, "Are all girls as dirty-minded as you?"
"So, you don't have a thing?"
"Absolutely not!" Xiao Tianyu's expression was firm, kill him before admitting anything.
Actually, he had more than a thing with Shangguan Biyue, countless nights with numerous positions, he couldn't keep count.
"You're not lying to me?"
"Do I look like someone who would lie, being so honest?"
"Not really!" Gu Lingyue shook her head and continued, "But I feel there's something going on between you two?"
"Can't we talk about business?" Xiao Tianyu asked, annoyed.
"Business, no rush, let's talk about other things first!" Gu Lingyue looked at her watch and continued, "It's almost eleven o'clock, no rush at all, let's grab a meal first!"
"Well, that's not necessary, right?"
"My treat!"
"It's not about the treat... Hey, hey~ don't drag me, we..."
"Is this how you treat customers?" Gu Lingyue pulled Xiao Tianyu's right hand and her beautiful eyes glanced at him. Seeing Xiao Tianyu's face awkward, Gu Lingyue giggled, "Haven't you ever held a woman's hand before!"
"This..."
"Alright, no need to explain!" Gu Lingyue interrupted, "If you manage to cheer me up, I might just sign right off!"
Xiao Tianyu felt quite frustrated; this woman clearly wasn't playing by the rules.
Normally, Xiao Tianyu would have smacked away long ago, but now there's no choice; for the sake of the collaboration, he had to endure.
So Xiao Tianyu said, "Wait a minute... let me take the documents first!"
Meanwhile, Xiao Tianyu was secretly thinking, sign the papers and leave immediately, sacrificing his looks? Not a chance.
Soon, the two walked hand in hand towards the door. Just as they stepped out, Gu Lingyue suddenly froze, "President Ye, you haven't left yet!"
Indeed, Ye Qingcheng had been waiting outside, knowing full well how crucial getting Lingyue International's cooperation agreement was. Yet what she finally witnessed was Gu Lingyue and Xiao Tianyu hand in hand.
At that moment, Ye Qingcheng's expression changed, her icy beautiful eyes glaring at Xiao Tianyu, as if the world had frozen over. Indeed a scoundrel, deceiving me, deceiving Shangguan Biyue, and now trying to deceive Gu Lingyue as well, shameless, purely shameless.
"President Ye, what's wrong?" Gu Lingyue's beautiful eyes flickered, as Ye Qingcheng came to her senses, slightly suppressing her cold aura, saying, "N-nothing..."
"Let me introduce you, this is Biyue..."
"No need!" Are introductions even needed between them? She would recognize Xiao Tianyu anywhere.
And Xiao Tianyu also spoke, "No need for introductions, let's go!"
From start to finish, Xiao Tianyu hadn't glanced at Ye Qingcheng even once. To him they were mere passersby, nothing more.
Without waiting for Gu Lingyue and Xiao Tianyu to head out, Ye Qingcheng walked ahead, saying to Gu Lingyue, "President Gu, I think it's necessary to remind you, don't be fooled by a man's appearance!"
With that, Ye Qingcheng entered the elevator, leaving Lingyue International.
Ding-dong~
At this moment, the door of the second elevator opened, revealing a dazzling girl stepping out. With green hair, glasses perched on her head, a red crop top leaving her midriff bare, denim shorts below—her outfit seemed straight out of a hotel.
"Sis, when did you get a boyfriend so quickly, already holding hands!" the girl stared at the scene with horror.
But Xiao Tianyu was standing behind Gu Lingyue, so the girl could only see half his head.
This girl was none other than Gu Lingyue's younger sister, Gu Mingyue.
Upon hearing this, Gu Lingyue thought to herself, oh no, this sister of mine has a crush on Tianyu. If she sees Xiao Tianyu, she won't look for me later to go crazy.
Last time, when Xiao Tianyu took Gu Lingyue home, they happened to run into Gu Mingyue in the villa, and Gu Mingyue rarely wore clothes at home, so Xiao Tianyu had an unobstructed view. After that, her sister became infatuated, pestering Gu Lingyue to find Xiao Tianyu.
"Sis, let me see what your boyfriend looks like, is he as handsome as my Tianyu?" Gu Mingyue said with curiosity, spinning around, Gu Lingyue went on spinning.
Gu Mingyue was speechless, "Sis, you don't need to be so secretive about having a boyfriend, I'm just taking a peek, I'm not going to eat him!"
I'm just afraid you'll eat him, Gu Lingyue thought silently.
With her sister being such a fangirl, Gu Lingyue knew very well. For instance, last time, Gu Lingyue said Xiao Tianyu likes men, Xiao Tianyu proved himself by taking Gu Lingyue into a room, but the good time got ruined by Gu Mingyue.
What's more unreasonable was that she wanted to join her sister to both climb onto Xiao Tianyu.
Now, Gu Lingyue didn't dare let Gu Mingyue see Xiao Tianyu, or else who knows what else might happen afterwards.
So, Gu Lingyue said, "My boyfriend isn't good-looking, not as handsome as your Tianyu!"
"I know, but don't be so stingy, I'm just taking a look, just a glance okay... Sis, stop turning, I'm getting dizzy!" Gu Mingyue said.
She was terribly annoyed, wasn't it just having a boyfriend? Was there a need to be so secretive?
"Mingyue, really nothing to see here!" Gu Lingyue said with black lines all over her face.
