  Hearing this, Nian Xiaomu pricked up her ears to listen to what he had to say.

  Ever since she joined the Yu Corporation, she had completed every assignment with great success.

  Even if she was not the best manager in the company, she definitely deserved a few words of praise!

  However, after a few seconds, Nian Xiaomu realized that Yu Yuehan was not intending on giving any response to the comment.

  His eyebrows were slightly raised as he slowly enjoyed the wine in his glass. It was as if he had not heard what the clients had said earlier on.

  President Ji did not think too much about it and repeated what he said for Yu Yuehan.

  “Manager Nian might be a rookie, but she is very competent and outstanding. She’s also very talented and even outshone Miss Wen just now. Master Han, you have a good eye for picking the right people!”


  “…”


  Yu Yuehan still did not respond to what President Ji said, and Nian Xiaomu felt like she was going to explode out of panic.

  The people in the room were all important clients of the public relations department.

  As she was a newly appointed manager, she had arranged this lunch gathering to reassure the clients that they had nothing to worry about regarding this change in leadership.

  She had hoped that they would put their trust in her and continue to work closely together.

  At first, she had felt pleased that Yu Yuehan was here to show his support for her.

  Now, however, he was just keeping quiet and ignoring the compliments that the others were showering upon her. Wasn’t this as good as telling her clients that he did not agree with them about her abilities?

  He wasn’t here to help her—he was here to harm her!

  Nian Xiaomu reached out under the table to pinch Yu Yuehan’s thigh while she whispering in a low voice that no one else could hear. Maintaining a poker face, she warned, “Master Han, quit messing around. You’ll stir up big trouble! Don’t you forget that this is your company!”


  She could lose face, but he would suffer a bigger loss if they lost their clients!

  As Yu Yuehan threw a glance at her, the sides of his lips curled upward, and he asked, “You think I’ll be afraid?”


  Nian Xiaomu: “…”


  Oh lord! He might not be afraid, but she was!

  These were all her clients.

  Of all things to mess around with, why did he have to choose her clients?!

  “Have you thought it through? Do you want to sleep together tonight?” Yu Yuehan had slipped his hand under the table as well and grasped her hand that was pinching his thigh.

  His long fingers gently stroked her palm.

  Nian Xiaomu felt herself shiver from his magnetic voice. When she turned to take a glance at his perfect-looking face, she swallowed a mouthful of saliva to calm her nerves.

  Then, she silently reminded herself that she had to exercise self-control!

  Her waist was still aching.

  If she were to sleep with him tonight, she would surely not be able to get out of bed tomorrow…


  However, if she did not agree, then the lunch gathering…


  While Nian Xiaomu was hesitating, Yu Yuehan could see through her dilemma. He added, “Don’t worry. I won’t do anything. We will just chat under the covers.”


  Nian Xiaomu: “…!!”


  “Master Han? Master Han?”


  The two of them had maintained a long silence. The clients at the table were already worried that they might have said something that offended Yu Yuehan.

  However, they had not said anything other than compliments toward Nian Xiaomu.

  Seeing this, Nian Xiaomu could only grit her teeth and reply, “Deal!”


  As soon as she spoke, Yu Yuehan lifted his handsome face and shifted his satisfied gaze toward President Ji, the one who had raised the question earlier on.

  “She does have a bit of wits about her, but she’s too cheeky.”


  Everyone: “…!!”


  It sounded like he was describing his child who needed some disciplining. Why did his words sound so strange?

  “What’s wrong? Am I wrong to say that?” Yu Yuehan swirled the red wine in his glass and maintained a calm gaze at everyone else.

  The private room was dead silent.

  No one dared to reply to him.

  The looks on their faces had all changed…
