Chapter 788: You Said You Liked Me, So I Accepted It

“Your brother could be so much more, Xiuxiu. That’s why I despise him. You better remember my words, Do not take your brother as an example to follow.”

“I… I understand…”

…

Helan Fangnian spotted Jiang Lai talking to a young woman. He hesitated for a moment, preparing himself to warn Jiang Lai, to make him more careful going about things. If anything really happened, at least he would be prepared for it.

“You look good. Look at how pretty you are when you’re all dressed up like this,” Jiang Lai told Ji Mianmian. “You’re a young lady, and you know how to put on makeup. You should doll yourself up every day so that you look prettier and buy better clothing.”

Ji Mianmian swirled the glass of champagne in her hand. She pursed her lips. “I’m just an assistant. I don’t have time for makeup,” she said. “Besides, I’m responsible for protecting my goddess. How can a skirt be more convenient than shorts? If a fight really breaks out, a skirt would only become a hindrance. Plus, don’t you think that it feels weird wearing this? I feel like there’s nothing but wind down there.”

Ji Mianmian rarely wore skirts in her life. Whenever in skirts, she felt uncomfortable sitting down, standing up, and doing anything at all.

Jiang Lai shook his head. She was letting herself go to waste! She had a great figure, and her features were adorable. If she just put on a little makeup, she would be a femme fatale!

If he did not stay by her side, who knows how many men would already approach her?

Jiang Lai was determined to change Ji Mianmian’s mind. “You can’t be like this forever. You’re a young lady, so you should be a young lady. Are you going to still be like this if you have a boyfriend?”

Ji Mianmian blinked. “But I don’t have a boyfriend, and I have no intention of having one.”

“That’s why I’m trying to get you to think. Imagine, you have a boyfriend in the future…”

Ji Mianmian guffawed. “No way. I’m not crazy enough to daydream like that.”

Jiang Lai emitted a long sigh. This young girl was totally not adorable.

“Just imagine. Look, how about you imagine me as your boyfriend? How would you go around with me?”

Ji Mianmian’s features screwed up in disgust. “No way. I can’t imagine anything looking at your face. You just don’t look good enough…”

Jiang Lai almost spewed blood. One could say that he was not a good worker, that he did not have a good character, but saying that he did not look good enough—he could not tolerate that…

“What do you mean I’m not handsome enough? Practically everyone in the company says that I’m the most good-looking guy there besides the big boss. Do you know how many young women are fawning over me in the company?”

Ji Mianmian shook her head. “I don’t know… It’s probably because there’s something wrong with the eyes of the young women in your company!”

Jiang Lai wanted to spew even more blood. “You…can still talk like this? Do you even want your bonus?”

“My apologies for interrupting,” a voice interrupted their conversation.

Ji Mianmian and Jiang Lai looked into the direction of the voice. They saw Ye Shaoguang, who had probably been standing there for quite some time. His pale face looked as though it had been frosted over. When he looked at Ji Mianmian, it was as if he was looking at his arch-nemesis.

Ji Mianmian jumped from shock. “You…”

Jiang Lai recollected his wits. “Mr. Ye,” he said. “Is there anything you wish to talk about?”

Ye Shaoguang ignored him. “You said that you liked me before…” he said, looking at Ji Mianmian.

Ji Mianmian’s eyes bulged like a frog’s. “I… liked you?”

“I accept your feelings,” Ye Shaoguang said.

“I—” Ji Mianmian only got a single word out when Ye Shaoguang extended his hand and pulled her closer, right into his embrace. He ducked his head and kissed her once before letting her go. He raised his head toward Jiang Lai, who was completely dumbfounded. “I’m here to take her,” he said.
