Ch18 - The two people in front of me are shiny (2/2)
Cole frowned, not liking the way he was addressed. “You’re the one who had me come.”
Xue Ling laughed happily, turning to pat Cole on the shoulder. “This is the first time I have seen a noble person taking the initiative to scrap with others. If your family was here, would they accuse me of being a bad influence?”
Cole pressed his lips together and said nothing.
Xue Ling could tell that Cole had already decided to follow him.. He shrugged helplessly and went on, “Well, since the distinguished noble insists on coming along, how can I reject? You are the head of my sister’s future husband’s family after all~ If you’re unhappy, you can make my sister unhappy through Doyle, and the one suffering at the end would absolutely still be me.”
Cole could not understand why his logic was so strange. He was silent for a moment and only promised, “That won’t happen.”
“Huh?” Xue Ling bit into a croissant and responded vaguely. A pair of hooded fox eyes looked over, making Cole’s heart jump in his chest.

“I won’t let you suffer,” he promised.
Xue Ling wrinkled his brows and decided not to comment on this gentleman’s promise.
When it was time for their appointment, Xue Ling brought Cole into the building of Xu Group. With a secretary leading the way, they stepped into the elevator to the president’s office.
The company’s renovation and décor was much better than the original Wen group’s, and the style was totally different. It was probably done on purpose in order to distinguish itself from the original company, as Xu Yongyi would not want his company to always be under Wen Group’s shadow.
Xue Ling dressed formally today. Because of the cold weather, he also wore a double-breasted black woollen overcoat that slimmed down his waist and lengthened his figure. The lady working at the reception desk found herself unable to look away.
He was followed by an attractive man with long legs that seemed to start from the waist, handsome to the point where others would find it difficult to keep their legs together. The two-man combination sparked off a wave of gossip from the employees – the two clearly could make a fortune off their looks alone, but still wanted to work with their brains, this was simply giving those blessed with less fortune no way to live on.
Compared with domestic enterprises, foreign-funded enterprises had more abundant capital. Moreover, the enterprise that was scheduled to negotiate a contract today had seized half of the new technology market in M country over a short period of two years. When it went public, people went crazy about investing into it. If he hadn’t been restricted by the domestic environment, Xu Yongyi would have also wanted to buy their shares. After all, they had never lost money, and their value has been increasing steadily.
Due to the importance of the other party, Xu Yongyi arrived at the company early this morning. By the time the appointment rolled around, he had already been sitting in the office for three hours.
Seeing that the other party arrived on time, he believed that they must be sincere. Xu Yongyi took a deep breath and pushed the door open to welcome them. But what awaited him on the other side was a face that had been appearing in his nightmares for two years.
“I haven’t seen brother-in-law in a long time. How have you been over the past two years?”
Wen Xiuyuan’s looks had always been outstanding, and the past two years had honed his outstanding temperament even further. When he laughed, his eyes tilted slightly and the mole at the corner of his eyes looked somewhat seductive, but looking carefully, there was no sense of femininity at all.
That kind of evil smile could easily attract many people, but could also easily scare them.
The obviously frightened Xu Yongyi put on a cold expression. “Who let you in? Secretary Ku, how can you be so unprofessional! Is my office a place that anyone can walk into?”
The secretary was rooted to the spot in shock. She didn’t understand how the president suddenly had a brother-in-law, and was cursed at by the president. She was somewhat embarrassed and wanted to open her mouth to explain, but the beautiful young man gently stopped her.

“Don’t blame the secretary. She only brought me up at the request of brother-in-law. After all, we made an appointment last night to talk about the contract today.” He was smiling the whole time. It was impossible to tell that he had come looking for trouble, and the secretary hurriedly nodded at his words.
Xu Yongyi’s breath was stuck in his throat. He stupidly asked, “Talk about cooperation? You are from the Mo An Group!??”
“What else?” Xue Ling helplessly answered. “Does brother-in-law think I would dare to enter your company without a formal appointment?”
The word “your” was pronounced with extra emphasis.
Xu Yongyi’s expression cooled noticeably. “What do you want to do?”
“I naturally wanted to have a good talk with my brother-in-law~” Xue Ling made a gesture with his hand, “I came all the way from Country M in order to send my brother-in-law good news. Will my brother-in-law force me to speak from the doorway?”
Xu Yongyi had an ominous foreboding, but he had always been able to put on a good front. He glanced at the secretary and stepped aside to make way into the president’s office. “Come in, we’ll talk inside.”

Xue Ling sneered. Cole reached out a hand and patted him on the shoulder.
It was a small gesture, but Xue Ling turned and gave him a smile. The secretary noticed the short interaction between the two men and was dazed by the brilliance of Xue Ling’s smile.
Ah, what kind of lucky day is this? I feel like my eyes have been purified.
帅的让人合不拢腿 shuài de rànɡ rén hé bu lǒng zuǐ – this is really kind of vulgar, lol. (it showed up where Xue Ling & Cole walked into Xu group’s office…) literally translates to ‘good looking enough to make people not able to put their legs together’. variations of this phrase go something like ‘made them feel so good that they couldn’t put her legs together’. uhm. O.o today’s chinese class, i guess?
Also, for those who couldn’t make the connection. The chapter description’s ‘shiny’ is directly linked to the brilliance of Xue Ling’s smile~
Bluebug (Editor): You teach such vulgar things to our poor readers? Q_Q Shameful! XDD
On another note, please greet alamerysl to our little family. I know I’m a bit late on this, but there has just been so much happening in the past chapters. Be assured that we keep trying our best to bring you chapters, pretty and bountiful. Thanks to some restructuring in how we work, our poor translator will spend 15 minutes more on each chapter and I will reduce the time I spend from 160 minutes to 30 minutes (5 times less!). Together with alamerysl, there should be not much delay on the editor’s side.
Alamerysl (also an editor): Hi!
