Chapter 157 (1/2)

Invite him to lunch

”You …” Shen Junyao was furious, now, her husband had taken over all the faults by himself, protecting Cheng Liyue at all times, how could she not be mad?

But she wanted to say something, Lu Junxuan had already forcefully pulled her out.

Lv Ying also quickly left. Now, she was truly afraid of Cheng Liyue.

When Lu Junxuan and the other two left, everyone in the hall looked at Cheng Liyue, some sympathy, some guilt, some surprise, in their eyes, Cheng Liyue's figure, once again became tall and clean.

What shocked them the most was Lu Junxuan's apology. This meant that Cheng Liyue was the one who was bullied the most, and Shen Junyao and her daughter were just a shrew.

”Liyue Sis, are you alright?”

”I'm fine! I'm fine. ” After Cheng Liyue finished, he pushed open the door and entered the office, leaving the employees to whisper to each other and discuss nonstop.

Lin Da had also watched the scene in her office. She thought, meeting Gong Yexiao was truly a blessing given to her by the heavens, because she would always be able to hold her head up high when facing this man.

As Cheng Liyue sat in her seat, she was momentarily unable to calm down. She didn't know why, but at this moment, there was only one person that remained in her mind: Gong Yexiao, she was only thinking about him, grateful to him.

Cheng Liyue impulsively picked up her phone and called him.

At the other end, in the quiet background, his exceptionally low and magnetic voice could be heard, ”h.e.l.lo.”

”Ugh …” ”Are you in a meeting?” Cheng Liyue was immediately embarra.s.sed, she did not expect to disturb his meeting again.

Gong Yexiao laughed lowly, as if he was moving, ”Go ahead!”

”Forget it, I won't disturb you for now.”

”Cheng Liyue, you can say whatever you want to say. For you, I am willing to spare ten minutes.” Gong Yexiao, on the other hand, did not allow her to hang up the phone.

”I... I was going to say, are you free at noon? I want to treat you to a meal. ” Cheng Liyue asked with a smile.

”What is it? Aren't you afraid that I'll eat till you're poor? ” Gong Yexiao's smile was especially clear and pleasant, like the sound of a guqin, mesmerizing.

Cheng Liyue held onto her phone, her beautiful face flushed red.

”I'm afraid, but I still want to treat you to a meal.” Cheng Liyue felt that, at this moment, she was willing to pour all the money in her pocket just for the sake of treating him to a meal.

”Alright, I won't choose the restaurant. You can choose, just the normal high-end ones will do.” Gong Yexiao actually saved her money out of kindness.

Cheng Liyue then burst out laughing, ”Alright, I choose.”

”At 12 o'clock sharp, I'll come pick you up.” Gong Yexiao ended the call and hung up.

Cheng Liyue put down her phone, and reached out to hold her flushed and hot cheeks. Her mind was still a little muddled, and she still could not shake off Gong Yexiao's laughter.

She looked at the time. It was 11: 20. It was time for her to choose a restaurant.

This time, Cheng Liyue didn't dare to be careless. This man had lived in luxury since she was young, and her stomach seemed to be even more reserved and expensive than normal people. She couldn't eat dirty food.

Cheng Liyue found the price on the web to be acceptable, but it was also a bit more expensive.
