Chapter 912: Chapter 912: Wuyan Arrives Late to the Party
Ye Shikai didn’t know what to say, with Chen Yuxin here, those female colleagues from the PR departnt wouldn’t dare to act so brazenly as they did earlier. In fact, they even felt strange about why Chen Yuxin specifically ca to find Ye Shikai and what relationship they had.
Of course, they didn’t know the relationship between Ye Shikai and Chen Yuxin, but they did know that Ye Shikai was Su Qingyu’s husband, their “boss lady.” Now Chen Yuxin was actively approaching him, and she seed quite warm, making everyone feel puzzled.
To an outsider, Ye Shikai’s behavior could be seen as “extramarital ambiguity,” but no one present dared to say that. For one, his legitimate wife is one of the four beauties of Yanjing, a dream girl for countless n, so they didn’t believe Ye Shikai would have an affair. For another, both Chen Yuxin and Su Qingyu hold high positions; who would be so tactless as to gossip in front of these two won? Especially Su Qingyu, the company president—one might end up jobless for rash talk and nowhere to cry about it…
Chen Yuxi chatted intermittently with Ye Shikai, leaving the others only able to drink by themselves, not daring to interject.
“Xin, you’re making it quite awkward for like this.” Ye Shikai took a sip of his drink nonchalantly. He’s not worried about the thoughts of those female colleagues, but Su Qingyu and An Lan are still across from him; if they see this, it could be trouble.
“What’s the matter? What’s so awkward about it?” Chen Yuxin smiled lightly.
“Look at them; they’re too nervous to even speak.”
“You all should drink, it’s a party, don’t be restrained.” Chen Yuxin glanced at the crowd and said blandly, at which point the won began to chat, though nothing involving Ye Shikai directly.
Ye Shikai stood up, and Chen Yuxin suddenly reached out and grabbed his arm, startling him.
“Where are you going?” Chen Yuxin asked.
“I’m going to the restroom to smoke a cigarette.”
“Don’t smoke; it’s bad for your health. Stay here.”
“Feeling a bit stuffy, I’ll just smoke one and co back.” Ye Shikai was determined to go smoke, honestly feeling frustrated at the mont, maybe even just using the restroom as an excuse to leave. But skipping out like that might not be so good…
Ye Shikai smoked at the restroom door, aware that Chen Yuxin’s presence made the won in the PR departnt uneasy, yet the event carried on seamlessly, with people from the marketing and planning departnts dancing away.
“How’s it feel being around beauties?” A voice ca from behind Ye Shikai, making him almost drop his cigarette as he turned to find it was Wuyan.
“What the heck, what are you doing here?” Ye Shikai glanced around nervously, worried soone might spot Wuyan who always wore the sa white long gown exuding a hanfu charm, quite unconventional for this setting.
“This is a company party, outsiders shouldn’t be able to get in.” Ye Shikai whispered.
“Do you think a few security guards could stop if I wanted to co in?” Wuyan boasted; sure enough, for soone of her cultivation level, those guards were rely ineffectual and likely hadn’t spotted Wuyan at all.
“Heard there’s quite a buzz here tonight, ca by for so snacks and drinks.” Wuyan went over to the buffet, helping herself.
“Auntie, really not afraid of causing trouble, dealing with one is already giving a headache…”
“What do you an dealing with one, does this an there’s another woman here?” Wuyan coldly glared, making Ye Shikai abruptly aware he’d misspoke, now stuck in an awkward bind.
“Of course, see here, so many female colleagues, aren’t they won?” Ye Shikai tried to deflect, but Wuyan wasn’t easy to fool.
“Wrong, you’re not talking about them, are you seeing another woman?” Wuyan coldly pressed—a small wife-like deanor, “inspecting” if her husband was having an affair.
“What do you an another woman, what kind of person do you take for?” Ye Shikai responded with a deadpan look; hadn’t he just sent Su Qingyu upstairs, actually using the smoking as a way to escape Chen Yuxin, avoid suspicion.
“Kai, what are you doing here?” Another voice rang, leaving Ye Shikai trembling as he turned to see Chen Yuxin had co after him.
This is a nightmare, the most awkward and terrifying situation imaginable, two beauties at either side, and his wife watching upstairs—could this be any worse?
The critical point is, neither Chen Yuxin nor Wuyan is one to shy away from drama—if they clashed, the whole venue could be turned upside down.
“Cough cough, who… is this?” Chen Yuxin’s gaze fell upon Wuyan, sparking a subtle unintentional hostility upon seeing soone whose beauty rivaled her own.
“Let introduce, this is Wuyan, a friend of mine.” Ye Shikai could only bravely make the introductions, since both won weren’t acquainted yet, hopefully avoiding any imdiate conflict.
“This is a Tianya Group’s event, Miss Wuyan is also a group employee?”
“No no, she’s my friend visiting from Yun City, can’t just shut her out.” As Chen Yuxin spoke, he rushed to explain for Wuyan, signaling Chen Yuxin with glances not to provoke her.
“Alright, Xin, Wuyan, let’s go have a drink.” Ye Shikai said with a smile, leading the two won back to the booth, causing the female PR staff to be shocked again. Just ten minutes out, now bringing back another stunning woman in a hanfu—was she a cosplay enthusiast?
“Everyone, this is Wuyan, my friend.” Ye Shikai introduced with a smile, prompting nods from the others, although Wuyan remained aloof, her gaze unfazed.
“Co on, weren’t we going to play dice? Let’s play, or it’d be too boring.” Ye Shikai picked up a glass to diffuse the awkward atmosphere.
“Five fours.”
“Six fives.”
“Seven fives.”
“Open.”
“Haha, you have to drink.”
“Hurry and drink.”
Unexpectedly, Ye Shikai lost the first round; reluctantly, he picked up his drink, resolved to pay forfeit.
“Hold on, drinking isn’t good for your health, let’s skip that.” Wuyan seed to dislike Ye Shikai drinking, grabbing his wrist, surprising the others.
“It’s alright, it’s just a ga. I can’t not drink; that wouldn’t be right.” Ye Shikai awkwardly said, fearing he’d dampen everyone’s spirits.
“I don’t care, you just can’t drink.” Wuyan dismissed others’ opinions, determined as ever.
