Chapter 78 - 78: Serious Consequences (Thanks to Xuanyuan Yuchen and Shi Bi for the additional update)
“He’s my, uh, boyfriend.”
Since Yu Minglang had done her such a big favor, she couldn’t let him lose face in front of his friends. Xiao Qian had just said that Yu Minglang was a friend, but she didn’t disregard the teasing look in the other’s eyes. Taking advantage of Jia Xiufang not being around, she put it out there to help Yu Minglang save some face.
Ya Ming put one hand in his pocket, his eyes flashing behind his glasses as he deliberately asked in a very gentle and innocent tone,
“Sorry, I didn’t hear you clearly. What did you say?”
“I said, Yu Minglang is my boyfriend. Just now, I couldn’t say that because my mother was present, and I didn’t want to distract her, but he is indeed my boyfriend. Next time we have the opportunity, we’ll treat you to dinner together.”
In fact, this was just a polite remark made for appearance’s sake.
When Xiao Qian said these words, she was well aware of the possibility of meeting again in the future, which were two separate issues.
Perhaps it was just a way for Ming Lang to help her out. Anyway, the words would not reach his ears, and it was just a way to save face in front of his friends. If she saw Yu Minglang again, she would deny it to her death.
Only after Xiao Qian got into the taxi with her mother, did Ya Ming take his hand out of his pocket.
He held a voice recorder, his white teeth gleaming in the sunlight.
“The habit of a professional lawyer, how nice. Carrying a voice recorder with you to easily find evidence
Pressing the play button, Xiao Qian’s voice came through clearly.
Yu Minglang is my boyfriend…
Ya Ming held a mischievous expression and smiled slightly.
“1 wonder how much money Youngest Brother Yu would pay to get this recording back? If he doesn’t treat me to a big meal, I’ll spread this thing around and expose his old-cow-eating-young-grass fact, hahaha!”
It wasn’t until that night that Yu Minglang heard the recording.
Just coming back from a meeting, his body was already very exhausted.
When he received Ya Ming’s call, he felt his body completely emptied. But when Ya Ming shamelessly asked him if he wanted to hear some crucial evidence in his possession, Yu Minglang instantly perked up.
“What did you do to my girl?!”
“Tsk tsk, who is this protective person? I’m not a ferocious beast, how can I eat your girl? Ming Lang, I have something good here. Do you want to listen?”
Ya Ming pressed the play button, and Yu Minglang only heard his girl’s voice clearly coming from the other end.
“Yu Minglang is my boyfriend…”
These words, heard by Yu Minglang, were like flowers blooming in an instant, flowers blooming in spring, endless waves of waves!
“Yu Minglang, you tell me, what kind of meal do you two plan to treat me to? It can’t be too shabby. It has to be at least a seafood feast on the scale of the Daily Fish Port. Of course, if you can’t bear it, that’s fine. But I can’t guarantee that my slippery little hand won’t accidentally release this recording, and then our brothers will know that you’re dating.”
This was no longer a threat; it was pure shamelessness.
After waiting for a while, there was no response from Yu Minglang on the other end, so Ya Ming asked,
“Ming Lang?” He lost the connection?
“Well…Daily Fish Port, no big deal.” Yu Minglang added, “If you want to spread it, just spread it.”
Then he hung up.
Ya Ming held the phone suspiciously, listening to the beeping tone, his face full of confusion.
What…does this mean?
He agreed to treat him, and then said, if he wants to spread it, just spread it? Is he in such a hurry to tell the whole world that he, Yu Minglang, is in love?!
“Unexpectedly impressive when he makes a splash!” Ya Ming accurately and objectively positioned Yu Minglang.
And Yu Minglang, who put down the phone and sat in his boss chair, grinned stupidly, his expression very serious.
The department manager next to him waiting for him to sign a document felt a chill down his spine, wondering what had happened to the Young Boss…
And then, Yu Minglang’s mouth twitched slightly to the side. The title of boyfriend had finally settled down, no matter what mindset Chen Xiaoqian was in, the fact that the wise female boss had spoken those words meant she had ruined herself with her momentary softheartedness.
With his hormones surging, Yu Minglang was in high spirits, disregarding his subordinates’ astonished gaze, pushing open the window and letting the evening breeze in.
How can they fight the burning heat in his heart?
Tonight, he was in such a good mood that it would be a shame not to share it with others.
“Are you, married?” Yu Minglang turned to ask the department manager behind him, who was already frightened out of his wits.
“Um, yes.”
Yu Minglang patted his stiff shoulder.
“Very good. A stable relationship is conducive to long-term development. Keep it up.”
The subordinate felt his heart sinking and didn’t know why the Young Boss suddenly mentioned this.
Could it be that the Young Boss knew about his plan to dump his wife and have a child with San’er, and was warning him?
Forget it… Let’s just break things off with San’er for good. It seems that the new Young Boss pays great attention to such matters. It is said that his style is upright and sure enough, his reputation is justified.
The department manager decided to go home and be a good husband and father, never again getting involved in unnecessary affairs.
With one casual remark, Xiao Qian saved a family, and it was all because of Ming Lang’s good mood.
His girlfriend had finally acknowledged the legitimacy of their relationship; nothing could be better or more youthful than that.
Qiao Zhen watched as Yu Minglang, who had just seemed exhausted, left the office with the energy of someone who had been injected with something, making the rounds from the first floor to the twentieth floor, and couldn’t help but be amazed.
For two days in a row, he hadn’t had more than five hours of rest, and just now, he had looked too tired to even speak. But by nightfall, he seemed to have gained a burst of energy. What was going on?
With the Young Boss being so active, the rest of the company members couldn’t help but feel guilty about slacking off, so everyone had to work overtime and create profits. Watching the spirited Yu Minglang, someone couldn’t help but secretly ask Qiao Zhen,
“What do you think is going on with our Young Boss?”
“Could it be… that he has broken up with someone?”
Everyone in the company knew that the Young Boss was like a lofty and unattainable mountain of snow; although using such a word to describe a man seemed a bit odd, he was truly unreachable. Several women who had tried to hook him up had been scolded away by him.
“If only it were a breakup… I think spring has come for him.” Qiao Zhen, who knew Yu Minglang best, hummed a tune. Usually, heartless men were scarier when they were in love than when they weren’t.
Back in the old unit, Qiao Zhen had been with Yu Minglang all the way, so he knew him inside out.
This vigorous energy, this undischarged youthfulness – Qiao Zhen could imagine how energetically and earnestly Yu Minglang would compete against his rivals in the coming days.
Yeah, the future performance of the company will surely reach new heights under the leadership of the Young Boss. Great! But who would be willing to date a man as whimsical as Yu Minglang among the girls in the company?
Qiao Zhen wondered wickedly.
Could the boss really like men, as rumored? He had been with him for so many years, but he really hadn’t seen him take a liking to any woman. Strange, really strange..
