  What a jerk, Yu Yuehan!

  He had actually lied to her!

  Wait… Could Zheng Yan have denied her sexual orientation intentionally out of embarrassment since it was different from the others?

  Nian Xiaomu sized her up from head to toe suspiciously and said, “Actually, people nowadays are much more open-minded. It doesn’t matter if one fancies a male or a female…”


  “Don’t look at me with that gaze, I would still like men even if you stared at me for one whole day. However, why would you think that I liked women?” Zheng Yan placed down the tea cup that she had just picked up and looked toward her.

  “…”


  Could she say that it was because of the super cold and aloof man that she had just mentioned?

  Wow.

  What’s with him being cold and aloof? He is obviously a liar now.

  A liar that could not be dealt with!

  She would change her surname to his if she believed him again!

  “Young Master Han?” Judging from Zheng Yan’s expression, she seemed to have understood something. As she stood up from her chair, she walked to her and patted her on her shoulders.

  “Cheer up. He might have done this because he was afraid that you would be jealous and quarrel with him. Since Yu Yuehan is such a cold and aloof person, it’s considered a great feat for him to have taken the effort to coax someone. Think of it in another way, isn’t it very touching that he had lied just to coax you?”


  Nian Xiaomu said, “Are you comforting me?”


  Zheng Yan replied, “Nope, I am admiring your painful expression. Do you want to make me happy for a little longer?”


  The anger in Nian Xiaomu’s eyes disappeared without a trace as soon as she finished speaking.

  When Zheng Yan lifted her head to look at her again, she could no longer find a trace of sadness or disappointment in Nian Xiaomu. It was as if she wasn’t the girl who was feeling gloomy earlier on because her boyfriend had lied to her.

  Zheng Yan was a little speechless and said, “Wow, you’re a drama mama.”


  Nian Xiaomu counter-replied and said, “You are a vixen.”


  With a click of her tongue, Zheng Yan returned to her seat and said, “Be careful with your words. I did not snatch your boyfriend, nor did I even hold his little hand. Why do you still scold me even after I have explained myself so clearly?”


  Nian Xiaomu returned to her seat as well and took a sip of her tea.

  “You harbored crooked thoughts of my man, even though your attempts of advancing toward him had failed. You even intentionally provoked me with a photo, and that’s doubly guilty of you. I am already being extra benevolent by not chasing you out immediately and even treating you to a tea session!”


  “And, to answer your question from earlier on, a goddess’s face does not need any maintenance as I am a born beauty. Yu Yuehan would still choose me even if he was given another hundred chances to make his choice!”


  She would crack the manly part of his body if he had the guts to not choose her!

  “…”


  Both of them spoke very rapidly.

  They seemed to be fighting a battle of words.

  They did not have any time to pause as words were shot out in a back and forth manner.

  After a few rounds, it was very obvious that Zheng Yan had lost.

  That was because she really could not figure out the strategy that Nian Xiaomu was using.

  For one moment, she appeared to be so weak and adorable that it made one have the urge to squeeze her face and buy candies for her.

  In the blink of an eye, something seemed to have happened and she suddenly had the stance of a queen.

  She was armed with a dominating presence.

  The key thing was, not a sense of oddness could be detected as she switched back and forth between the two modes, as if she was performing a face changing act.

  “Alright, alright, you win. Can we talk about the collaboration now?” Zheng Yan said in a resigned tone.

  This was the first time that she had admitted defeat even before the negotiations had started.

  This was something that she had not experienced over the past 20 years.

  She dared not lower her guard even for a single moment at this point as she faced Nian Xiaomu, lest she messed up the collaboration. If that happened, she would have to admit responsibility and resign from her position.

  “As the representative for this negotiation, I have also prepared another gift for Manager Nian apart from the photo yesterday.”


  “…”


  One photo had already been enough to choke her.
