Married to the Protagonist - Chapter 140: Blackmailed (2)

Qiao Fei did not realize it but she accidentally revealed her thoughts true gritted teeth, and they sounded extremely chuuni. “Thinking of framing my future brother-in-law? You don’t even have shit.”

“…” The intern choked on his saliva and eventually slipped away without stopping.

At Er Pavilion, the lights were out before nighttime even came. Business was tragic.

At the second-floor office.

Yan Cheng was half-leaning against the sofa, looking pretensive with his gold-rimmed glasses, seriously comparing last month’s profits.

After a short while, he put the book down and raised his hand to touch the back of his neck which suddenly felt cold. At that moment, the phone resting on the coffee table lit up.

Chai Yue, “I get the sudden feeling that this bunch from Zhiyuan Technology aren’t so reliable.”

Yan Cheng grabbed the phone and unlocked the screen. The fluorescent light from the phone projected onto his cheeks instantly, showing off more of his rebellious side. He puffed his cheeks and stared at the message Chai Yue sent over, puzzled.

Yan Cheng, “?”

Chai Yue, “If they’re going to do a project, then they should do it properly. As soon as the summer holidays began, the core of the team, their general manager, went home for the summer. Fuck, I don’t even know what to say!!!”

It’s no wonder that Chai Yue would suddenly complain.

But since he didn’t give out the full story, he couldn’t be biased.

It was the technology era. As long as their projects have no major problems, then they were allowed to take leave. To put it another way, they can communicate perfectly online.

However, this will, to some extent, leave a particularly bad impression on the investors. You can’t be completely sure, but if they can continue to thrive even without the presence of their leader, then that was also a point worth noting.

When he saw the message, Yan Cheng’s shoulders slowly drooped down. His slender fingers were suspended above the screen. With a slight frown at his brows, he nudged his palate with his tongue. His lowered dark eyes were emotionally indistinguishable. Only, his pursed lips were silent, as if he hadn’t thought about how to respond to Chai Yue yet.

Then, in the next second, another message arrived.

Chai Yue almost wanted to kneel out of his own astonishment. “Oh, I didn’t read it right. He had something important to deal with at home.”

“…” Yan Cheng raised his eyes and ground his teeth.

Yan Cheng, “So?”

Chai Yue tapped quickly on his phone. “So, they probably just want to hold onto this opportunity after hearing that we’re interested in investing.”

Chai Yue, “We’ve already contacted the chief who founded the team. He says he will return at most in two more days, and he’ll meet you then.”

Chai Yue, “We’re calm on our end, they’re the ones who are anxious.”

The afternoon sunlight was bright with hints of laziness, but its burning heat also could not be denied. Quietly it climbed onto the windows before lying on the floor of the office, enjoying a cozy life.

Only then did Yan Cheng notice that the chill on his back had disappeared. He moved his head around to stretch his neck, then he slowly returned an “OK” to end the conversation in advance.

Soon, he couldn’t help himself from pressing on Chen Jinyao’s name again.

Hangzhou’s scenery is nice as well.

Especially since they now have the local Hangzhou-er Luo Xiao to show them some hospitality, which was much better than when they were strolling around blindly as unfamiliar tourists.

They had a boat ride to watch the sparkling waves, enjoying all that the West Lake can offer.

Everything was good. Looking at the two youngsters leaning against each other at the front, Chen Jinyao began to miss Yan Cheng. She thought it would be nice if Yan Cheng was here.

Luo Xiao, “I’ll be heading back to the capital in two days.”

He was speaking to Chen Jinlin, but he was loud enough that Chen Jinyao could hear him too.

Chen Jinyao withdrew her gaze from the lake and turned over with an excited expression. “Really?”

Only

Luo Xiao nodded. “Really.”

“What for?” This is what young girls are like, they want their boyfriends to tell them absolutely everything.

“Just school stuff,” he said.

Chen Jinlin frowned. It didn’t seem like she believed him very much.
