《Love's Vicissitudes: A Pursuit of Beloved Wife》C42. Too Embarrassing to Talk About
Advertisement
It is not until Yuexi coughs a few times that the colleagues behind her stop gossiping. It is the best ending for both of them. For they owe nothing to each other now. Yuexi follows Zhao Ya enter the Hilton Tower and several people go directly to a meeting room. Yuexi actually knows nothing about the procedures, so she only stands by to supervise them.
She seems a little bit absent-minded, staring hollowly at the folder in her hand. It is not until the meeting is over and her colleagues call her to go for lunch that Yuexi comes to her senses. She waves at them and says, "You go eat first, I'll come later."
Zhao Ya comes over before she finishes her words. She speaks with a smile on her face, "Our president is looking for you." Yuexi feels confused, points a finger at herself, and asks with uncertainty, "Is he looking for me? "Yes, please come with me." Zhao Ya says as she makes a gesture.
Although Yuexi feels puzzled, she needs to come with Zhao Ya. After all, her company wants to continue doing business with them and they will have to meet each other again. She sighs in silence, following Zhao Ya to go up to the 66th floor. In the elevator, Yuexi cannot help but ask, "Excuse me, do you know why he wants to see me?"
Zhao Ya smiles and says, "You haven’t eaten yet, right? Our president invites you to have lunch with him." "What?" Yuexi says with her widened eyes. Li Fengjue invites her to lunch?
At this moment, the elevator door opens. Zhao Ya walks out first, but Yuexi stays motionless for a long while. Her eyes fall on the closed door, and she suddenly recalls countless memories of being tortured. She regrets talking to Li Fengjue in that way that embarrassed him yesterday. He would definitely bear grudge, maybe he would even poison her dishes!

Zhao Ya glances at Yuexi and asks, "Miss Bai? What's wrong with you?" Then, Yuexi replies her with dry laughs and slowly gets out of the elevator. Zhao Ya curls up her mouth and says, "I believe that it should be an opportunity for your company to be able to talk directly to our president. The two companies can directly exchange thoughts. It will definitely save a lot of trouble, don’t you think so?”
Her words impress Yuexi. Though she doesn't say anything serious, there is an implied sense of threat. If Yuexi misses this opportunity, her company will definitely suffer the loss. Thinking of this, Yuexi also smiles, takes a deep sigh of relief, and pushes that door open.
This is not the first time for her to come into his office. The moment Yuexi steps into the room, she feels quite calm. Glancing around, she sees a long marble table with various dishes, which seems to be well prepared.
She couldn't help but swallow saliva just after few glances at it. She didn't sleep at all last night and didn’t have a good mood to eat breakfast this morning, either. Therefore, she is starving. It is natural of her to want to devour these delicious dishes the moment she sees them.
Where is Fengjue? Yuexi takes another glance at the president's big office. There is no one else except her. She looks at the food again. Since Li Fengjue is not here, no one else should notice it if she takes a few bites secretly. Glancing around again, she is sure that nobody is there. So she uses the chopsticks to pick up a piece of fish meat, and delivers it to her mouth.
"You actually come to my office to steal my food." A deep voice comes from the side. Yuexi stiffens and fails to swallow the fish meat. She only turns her head around mechanically. Li Fengjue embraces her with his arms and looks at her with a cold look.

Yuexi puts down the chopsticks in her hand and says awkwardly, "Don’t you invite me for lunch ..." After saying that, she lowers her head. It looks like she has done something wrong. Li Fengjue glances at her lightly, comes to the dining table, sits down, and eats alone.
Yuexi still stands there, lowering her head and not speaking a word. After a long while, her stomach growls inappropriately. Then her face immediately blushes. It causes her to press her head even lower. "Come eat if you are hungry." Li Fengjue spits out these words in a cold voice.
Yuexi wishes that she can pretend that nothing happened between them and she sits down to have a normal meal with him. But it was only last night that the two of them just had a huge fight. How can they forget about it so quickly? Not to mention that Li Fengjue especially likes to bear grudge. Seeing that Yuexi still stands there, Li Fengjue says it in a grumpy tone, "Are you afraid that I would poison your food?"
Upon hearing what he said, Yuexi finally raises her head, asking suspiciously, "Last night ..." Li Fengjue still keeps his emotionless face, takes a bite, and says coldly, "I’ve already eaten these dishes. If it were poisonous, I would be dead by now. ”
Yuexi is interrupted before she could finish her words. So she simply sits down and starts eating and drinking. After a while, there are very few dishes left on the table. She wipes her mouth, stands up, and says coldly, "I have eaten the meal. Can I leave now?"
"It’s up to you." Li Fengjue says it casually. Yuexi glances at him causally and leaves the office without looking back. Then, when she goes down from the 66th floor, she runs into some colleagues who have just finished lunch. They get curious and ask, "Yuexi, you didn’t come with us for lunch. Where did you go?"
Yuexi is in a bad mood. So she replies coldly, "I just went to the top floor to breathe some fresh air." The lunch break is soon over. In the afternoon, Zhao Ya comes to the office to distribute some new cosmetics from the Li's consortium to Yuexi’s colleagues.
Yuexi looks at these makeup products and feels confused. She roughly calculates the total price of one bag of gifts, which amounts to at least 10,000 yuan. There are seven colleagues, including her. It would cost a huge fortune! She frowns and asks, "Ms. Zhao, what do you mean by this? We can't accept this gift, since we have done nothing."
Yuexi understands that she has to return a favor in the future if she takes the gifts today. Zhao Ya smiles ambiguously and says, “Our president thinks that you did a good job. Therefore, here are some treats.”
"What?" Yuexi looks confused, “What do you mean by saying I did a good job? What have I done?” But Zhao Ya doesn't seem to make a further explanation. She gives her an approving look and leaves. When Yuexi is trying to figure it out, she is suddenly surrounded by a group of colleagues. They say, "Yuexi, thank you for your hard work today."
Yuexi is even more puzzled. She really did nothing! Looking at their flattering and attentive eyes, Yuexi suddenly understands it all. They must assume that she has made some deals with Li Fengjue that are too embarrassing to talk about!
