Stop Messing Around, Mr Bo!

Chapter 2115: Wen Yuan (9)

At this moment, Yuan Muchun really wanted to ask him why he cared about this.

But she was afraid of hearing the answer she didn’t want to hear.

She had fantasies, but she was afraid of breaking them.

Just now, her suggestion to An Xi was more or less perfunctory. Now, she suddenly felt that she might be right.

She should experience what it was like to be in a relationship.

Perhaps her feelings for Wen Xuchen were not love.

She took a deep breath and piled their bowls together.

“Of course I know how to measure. Otherwise, I wouldn’t be single until now.”

She picked up the bowl and chopsticks before turning to walk into the kitchen. However, Wen Xuchen didn’t feel comforted by her answer.

He followed her into the kitchen and frowned when he saw her turning on the tap to wash the dishes. He pulled her hand back.

“Do what?”

“I didn’t spend money to hire servants.”

Without any explanation, he pulled her out of the kitchen and pinched her slender wrist. He suddenly recalled the feeling of hugging her at the banquet.

Her frame was small and her waist was soft.

She was very beautiful at tonight’s business banquet.

He had built it himself.

Now that she had changed her clothes and removed her makeup, he concluded that she had never been seen by other men.

But now, she actually wanted to fall in love and get married.

She couldn’t explain why her chest felt stuffy, but she couldn’t deny that her thoughts were right.

He let go of her wrist and stared at her clean and pure face for a few seconds. Finally, he sighed deeply and patted the top of her head gently.

“Girls should know how to cherish themselves. If you really have a boyfriend, you must bring him over for me to take a look. I’ll check for you. Not every man is qualified to be your boyfriend.”

Yuan Muchun felt as though someone had stabbed a knife into her heart.

He had given her an answer that she had deliberately avoided all night.

Fortunately, she didn’t confess to him. Otherwise, she would definitely be the second Zhu Zan.

He had entrusted her to him as his mentor, or perhaps as his younger sister whom he loved and cared for at a young age. The only thing he didn’t care about was her delusional feelings.

Even without saying it, she could gradually figure it out and let go.

Yet, he had to give her such a cruel answer tonight.

Suppressing the bitterness that welled up in her heart, she thought that she had composed herself and smiled at him.

“Yes, I know… I will!”

That smile was too bright, as if she had a strong yearning for the relationship that had yet to start.

Wen Xuchen lowered his gaze to look at her smile. His palm stopped above her head and his eyes darkened.

“Why are you crying?”

Yuan Muchun paused. “I didn’t.”

Did he not know whether she was crying or not?

After all, all these years, the most she had done was to control her tears.

“It’s getting late. I’m going upstairs to rest. You should sleep early too.”

Yuan Muchun bent his knees slightly to avoid Wen Xuchen’s hand and ran upstairs nimbly.

In the end, Wen Xuchen arranged a chauffeur for Yuan Muchun to send her to and from school.

Yuan Muchun didn’t say anything. After all, she wouldn’t ask An Xi to pick her up every day.

The Yuan family’s matter had come to an end for the time being. Yuan Muchun couldn’t think of anything else.

The news was quite popular online and in the business circle.

Even in school, many students were discussing this matter.

After all, many people’s dream was to graduate from the Yuan Corporation.

Now that the Yuan Corporation had changed hands and Shen Fanxing had taken over, many people had their own opinions about the future development of the Yuan Corporation.

Even though Shen Fanxing’s capabilities were obvious, the company had changed hands. Reform and unrest couldn’t be avoided.

It was easy for problems to arise during this period.

Yuan Muchun had kept a low profile in school all these years, and few people knew that she was the second daughter of the Yuan Corporation.

Other than a few rich kids, they didn’t interact much.

However, after the incident with Rong Wen at the school entrance, her identity was exposed.

After entering the campus, she received a lot of attention.

There was suspicion, doubt, and sympathy.

Yuan Muchun had long been mentally prepared. She ignored the situation.

Just as she entered the laboratory building, Bo Anxi ran out and hugged her.

“Sigh, there’s a gathering tonight. It’s rare for them to insist on inviting us. Let’s agree this time.”

Yuan Muchun’s body swayed from the impact and he was shocked.

“Aren’t you accepting it too quickly? You just had this idea last night. Are you going to put it into practice today?”

“If you don’t hurry up, all the good seedlings will be taken away. Just go and take a look. Just treat it as having fun. No one is forcing you to develop a relationship with anyone. I want to go, but I don’t dare to. You have to accompany me.”

In the end, Bo Anxi even threw a tantrum. Yuan Muchun felt a little helpless. Since she had already said that, she couldn’t really let her go out alone.

What if she was targeted and something happened to her?

“I’m just going there to have fun. Try not to drink. If you really can’t, drink less. Don’t get carried away by chatting with others. Do you hear me?” “Yes, yes, I hear you.” Bo Anxi nodded repeatedly. “But I still hope to find someone I like. When the time comes, I’ll lead the class monitor’s wedding to support him.”

Yuan Muchun glanced at her. “Don’t do anything rash.”

“I know, I know.”

“Where is the arrangement?”

“Hehe.” Bo Anxi chuckled, which made Yuan Muchun wary.

“Bo Anxi…”

“Actually, it’s nothing much. That clubhouse belongs to the Yin family. There won’t be any danger.”

Ming Corporation’s video conference today.

Bo Jinchuan and Li Tingshen arrived at the conference room.

Wen Xuchen’s complexion was much worse than usual.

The fatigue between her brows was obvious, and there was a circle of defeat around her eyes. Her usually gentle and elegant face was slightly dispirited.

The two of them, who had cold and indifferent personalities, took two more glances at him today.

As long as he appeared in the company, he would be full of energy and treat work as his food. To think that he would have such a side.

Wen Xuchen leaned back in his chair and massaged his temples. He couldn’t stand their lethal gazes.

“Speak your mind!”

Bo Jinchuan sat at the head of the table and scrolled through the news on his phone. When he saw Shen Fanxing’s photo, he saved it.

Upon hearing that, she looked up at him again. “It’s rare to see you like this. So, are you overindulging or are you unsatisfied?”

Wen Xuchen’s hand froze and he looked at the man in shock.

Was that something a human would say?

However, she regained her composure a moment later.

A man who could be a gigolo and even dared to say the word ‘spend’ in public was not rare.

His unknown hidden attributes were slowly being developed by a woman.

It was amazing.

“What’s the basis of your question?”

This question received a cold stare from Bo Jinchuan. However, Wen Xuchen felt that there was a hint of mockery in it.

He frowned and his expression darkened.

“How?”

Bo Jinchuan retracted his gaze and said coldly, “Seems like you’re not satisfied.”

Wen Xuchen was speechless. “…When did you become so concerned about others?”

“Of course I’m not concerned about you.” Bo Jinchuan looked at Shen Fanxing’s photo on his phone without looking up. “I just feel that Fanxing has wasted her breath.”

Wen Xuchen asked, “What do you mean?”

Bo Jinchuan frowned and looked up at him in disdain.

“Why didn’t I realize before that you have so many questions?”

These words, coupled with his expression, were no different from “Why are you so stupid?”

As the acting CEO of the “Ming” Corporation, he was actually called “stupid”?

This could be considered a great humiliation.

Li Tingshen also gave a light chuckle. “…I shouldn’t be unsatisfied.”

Wen Xuchen looked over. The handsome man was wearing an expensive black suit. Even though he was sitting on the chair, there were no wrinkles.

There was a fountain pen between his well-defined fingers.

Although she was smiling, she was cold and heartless.

“If you really need it, you can tell me. I’ll arrange it for you.”

Wen Xuchen retracted his gaze and said calmly, “No need.”

Although they worked well together, Wen Xuchen still felt a little uncomfortable facing Li Tingshen.

This man had become famous at a young age. Back then, he had single-handedly pulled a few companies out of the mud and his development speed was shocking.

Without any special means, he couldn’t believe that he could reach where he was today.

Even though Bo Jinchuan didn’t do things according to common sense, he was swift and decisive. On the other hand, Li Tingshen was shrewd and ruthless. He was a typical fox who pretended to be weak. If she wasn’t careful, she would be tricked by him.

Although there was nothing between them, his instincts prevented him from facing him calmly.

“You’re welcome.” Li Tingshen pretended not to notice his wariness and said with a smile, “The Yuan Corporation’s problem has been resolved perfectly this time. The celebration party can’t be missed. I’ll arrange the event tonight.”

Bo Jinchuan said, “I have a family now. Make sure it’s clean.”

Bo Jinchuan swallowed Wen Xuchen’s rejection.

Since his superior wanted to attend, it would be embarrassing if he refused.

Li Tingshen smiled and nodded. “Sure, but forget about the milk.”

Bo Jinchuan said, “Be prepared.”

Li Tingshen chuckled but didn’t say anything.

Wen Xuchen took a deep breath and pinched the space between his eyebrows again. His gaze swept across the LCD screen in the conference room and someone gradually came online.

Gu Linxi glared at the camera with water dripping from her hair. “The handsome man is here. Everyone, give him a warm round of applause.”

Everyone was speechless.

Gu Linxi brushed her hair and looked at the camera for a while.

“Brother Bo, are you infatuated with Sister-in-law again?”

“Li Tingshen, have you chosen the next unlucky person to be schemed against by you?”

“CEO… CEO Wen, what’s wrong with you? How long have you been back? Why are you like this? Are you not used to the environment or are you unsatisfied?”

Wen Xuchen was speechless.

“Li Tingshen, don’t think about scheming against those unlucky people every day. Who are the pretty girls in your circle waiting to benefit?”

A smile remained on Li Tingshen’s face. “I’ll arrange it tonight.”

Gu Linxi exploded instantly. “Does that mean I’m going to miss it?”

He pounded his chest for a long time before saying bitterly,

“Alright, I’ll let it go this time. This time, it’s mainly CEO Wen… You have to take good care of him. Our entire company is counting on him to work hard!”

“Hello, everyone!”

All the “bosses” were speechless.

Even though they were used to Gu Linxi’s idiotic personality, he could always catch them off guard and make them feel helpless.

Wen Xuchen didn’t object or encourage Gu Linxi’s antics.

There was nothing wrong with livening up the atmosphere occasionally.

But today, he was indeed too irritable.

“Alright, meeting!”

*

When Yin Ruijue found out that Li Tingshen had set up a trap for him, he followed obediently.

He was willing to join in the fun.

There was even a special program.

It was the best room on the second floor. Through the floor-to-ceiling windows, one could see the venue clearly.

Yin Ruijue had arranged for an escort. After receiving instructions, the women would occasionally go up to prepare some food and fill the glasses.

Yin Ruijue watched Bo Jinchuan carefully, afraid that he would be neglected.

When a woman came to pour wine, he grabbed the bottle and poured it for Bo Jinchuan.

Bo Jinchuan glanced at him calmly.

Yin Ruijue hurriedly smiled and said, “Brother Bo, don’t worry. I’ll definitely protect your chastity for Sister-in-law.”

“…”

Wen Xuchen sat by the window and leaned against the booth. He held a wine glass in his hand and his tie was removed. Two buttons of his black shirt were unbuttoned and his hair was no longer as neat as before. It was a little loose and scattered on his forehead.

It was obvious that she was here to relax and have fun. However, the indifference and alienation emanating from her bones still made people who were tempted shrink back.

In fact, without explicit instructions, no one in this room dared to approach.

The few escorts could only watch from afar, feeling both pity and relief.

*

The first floor was filled with smoke and the smell of alcohol and perfume.

When Yuan Muchun entered, she frowned subconsciously.

Bo Anxi, who had evil intentions but no guts, hugged Yuan Muchun’s arm tightly.

Her beautiful eyes were filled with curiosity, excitement and fear.

The venue on the first floor was being warmed up. The DJ music and lights were changing.

The people in the booth occasionally looked at them, and Yuan Muchun felt even more nervous.

She was a little angry and turned to the boys behind her.

“Why did you choose this place?”

The boys were also a little embarrassed.

Bo Anxi wanted to cry but had no tears. “I… I arranged it.” Then, she comforted Yuan Muchun. “It’s alright, don’t be afraid. I specially asked for the quietest and most secretive booth on the first floor. It’ll be fine after we sit down.”

At this moment, there were bar staff holding signs and blocking the entrance.

At this moment, someone held her arm gently.

She turned her head and saw the boy who had come with them. He smiled at her sincerely and warmly.

“I’m in the way.”

As he spoke, he pulled her and Bo Anxi aside.

“Thank you.”

The boy nodded. “You’re welcome.”

The student led them to a booth and arranged for someone to order the drinks.

Bo Anxi exhaled. “It’s so lively here…”

The waiter had sharp eyes and could tell that it was their first time here. He smiled and said,

“It’s such a coincidence that you’re here today. Because Young Master is receiving guests tonight, he has specially arranged for other programs…”

Bo Anxi was also surprised. “Guest? Who can make Brother Ruijue treat them as guests?”
