I started as a spirited young man, and the system made me a male god.
Chapter 122, just you wait!
Jiang Che's mind went blank, and he even lost the instinctive reaction of getting off Chen Fei.
Chen Fei was the first to forcefully regain some composure from that immense embarrassment.
He coughed twice, breaking the silence first: "Ahem, Yun Yao, you... why did you come up here?"
His voice wasn't loud, but it was exceptionally clear in the room where you could hear a pin drop.
Li Yunyao suddenly snapped to attention and quickly explained, "Mr. Chen, you asked me to find a renovation company yesterday, and they required to see photos of the company before they could come up with a design plan, so I came here today to take some photos."
She spoke incoherently, her eyes still not daring to glance into the room, her body instinctively shrinking back, her hand already on the door frame, as if ready to close the door and disappear at any moment.
Jiang Che was finally pulled back to his senses by this conversation.
She abruptly got off Chen Fei, her movements a little unsteady. She bent down, grabbed the clothes from the ground, and quickly put them on. Her fingers trembled as she tried to button them, but in her panic, she missed several times.
She stood with her back to the door, not turning around, but straightening her back and saying in as calm a voice as possible, "Li Yunyao, please wait outside for a moment. We... will be there soon."
"Okay, okay, President Jiang!" Li Yunyao felt like she had been granted a pardon. She almost immediately took a step back and slammed the door shut with a "bang".
The sound of the door closing echoed slightly in the empty floor, making the silence in the small storage room even more unbearable.
Jiang Che finally buttoned up the last button. Instead of turning around immediately, he lowered his head, his shoulders rising and falling slightly, trying to calm his breathing.
Chen Fei also sat up from the sofa, straightened his disheveled clothes, and patted the dust off his pants.
Looking at Jiang Che's stiff back, he could imagine how she was about to explode.
He sighed inwardly, knowing that any words of comfort or teasing at this moment would likely only add fuel to the fire.
After a few seconds, Jiang Che finally turned around, her cheeks still flushed, and she didn't dare to meet Chen Fei's eyes: "...Let's go. Don't keep your assistant waiting."
As she spoke, she took the lead and walked towards the door, her steps quicker than usual.
Chen Fei got up and followed her. As she touched the doorknob, he whispered, "It's okay. Yun Yao is very smart. She knows what she should and shouldn't see, and what she should and shouldn't say."
Jiang Che paused for a moment as he opened the door, without turning around, only letting out a very soft "hmm" through his nose, before pulling the door open.
Outside the door, Li Yunyao stood ramrod straight, admiring the scenery outside the window.
Hearing the door open, she quickly turned around, her face now showing a slightly restrained expression: "Mr. Chen, Mr. Jiang, I apologize for disturbing you earlier. There's still the property management's water and electricity bill management; we need to link the account for easier payment later. Would you like me to handle this?"
Li Yunyao had already learned about the company merger from Chen Fei, and having just witnessed such an ambiguous scene, she naturally wouldn't call Jiang Che by his name directly.
"Let's talk at the coffee shop downstairs," Chen Fei interrupted her, his tone as usual. "There's nowhere to sit here. And get President Jiang a drink too, to calm her nerves."
His last sentence was somewhat sarcastic, an attempt to ease the tension.
Upon hearing this, Jiang Che secretly pinched Chen Fei's arm from behind, with considerable force, but Chen Fei didn't react at all.
Li Yunyao nodded immediately and said tactfully, "Okay, that specialty coffee shop around the corner downstairs is pretty good. Shall I go ahead and grab a table?"
"Okay, you go down first, we'll be right there." Chen Fei nodded.
Li Yunyao nodded to the two of them again, then turned around and walked steadily but at a fast pace toward the elevator. Her back view exuded a sense of professionalism that said, "I didn't see anything, I don't know anything, I'm just a heartless money-making machine."
Jiang Che only breathed a sigh of relief after Li Yunyao's figure disappeared.
But then, she glared at Chen Fei, slapped him on the back, and said through gritted teeth, "It's all your fault!"
Chen Fei touched his nose, looking somewhat innocent: "I think... I was the one who got pushed down?"
"You...!" Jiang Che was speechless with anger, her face turning red again, but she couldn't utter a rebuttal.
It was indeed she who took the initiative to lock the door, push people, and even put on a "forceful" stance, all of which were seen by Li Yunyao. She wished she could turn back time.
"Alright, stop thinking about it." Chen Fei reached out and put his arm around her shoulder. "Yun Yao won't talk nonsense. Let's go get some coffee and talk about serious matters."
As he passed by Jiang Che, he didn't stop. He naturally raised his arm and put it around her shoulder, just like a friend casually putting their arms around each other.
However, just as he put his arm around her shoulder, the trajectory changed.
"You—!?" Jiang Che's body trembled violently, as if he had been struck by an electric current.
She gasped, the rest of her words caught in her throat, and she turned her head in disbelief to look at Chen Fei, who was standing right in front of her.
Chen Fei didn't let go immediately. Instead, he used the position of his arm around her shoulder to get close to her flushed ear and whispered, "As her boyfriend, I'm charging a little interest, so what?"
"Don't do this, how can the interest be—" Jiang Che tried to stop her, but before she could finish speaking, an even more terrifying sensation came over her.
Like a drop of water splashed into a hot oil pan, it ignited an even more intense shame and a completely unfamiliar throbbing deep within her body.
Her legs went weak and she could barely stand. He was the only one who supported her so that she didn't slip down in embarrassment.
"You big pervert!" She finally found her voice, but it was trembling uncontrollably. "Just you wait!"
"Okay, I'll wait." Chen Fei released his grip at the opportune moment, walked to the elevator, and pressed the button. "Let's go, I'll treat you to coffee."
Jiang Che let out a deep breath and stepped into the elevator first, his mind flashing through 108 theoretical methods for tormenting Chen Fei in bed.
When has she ever suffered such a loss in her life?!
The elevator descended, leaving only the two of them in the space.
Jiang Che stood next to Chen Fei, staring intently at the constantly changing floor numbers, as if they were some kind of breathtakingly beautiful sight.
Chen Fei stopped teasing her, only occasionally glancing at her shy yet defiant little expression out of the corner of his eye, finding it exceptionally adorable.
