Rebirth of the Villainous Female Boss

Chapter 576: Chapter 550: Heart-Stabbing and Affection (Thank You Premier of the Little Tender Study Alliance for the Reward+8)

In the evening, Yu Minglang sent Xiao Qian to the TV station.

As she was doing her show inside, he sat outside browsing the notes he had taken during the day. Because Meiwei was in a great mood due to his company, the audience who called in today felt like they were basking in a warm spring breeze.

Yesterday’s special approach had prompted many people to explain the show to others, saying that the Midnight Talk Show was full of positive energy and had a great set of values. Today, the audience was larger than usual, and Xiao Qian’s attitude further solidified the show’s ratings.

Her desire to be fired seemed increasingly unlikely to be realized.

As a temporary worker, Xiao Qian was provided with a desk. Yu Minglang sat in front of her desk, flipping through his notes.

He had written down some information in a secret code that only he could understand. As he didn’t want her to know what he was researching, he used a secret language. All the things he had looked up were related to her.

Yu Minglang was immersed in his thoughts when he suddenly felt someone tap his shoulder.

Ye Xiaoyu looked at him with a big smile.

“Old classmate, we meet again.”

“Oh, it’s you.” Yu Minglang thought about the little argument he had with Xiao Qian last night because of Ye Xiaoyu. Xiao Qian’s preventive inoculation had taken effect, and he slid back a bit, moving the wheeled chair away from Ye Xiaoyu to maintain a distance.

Remembering Xiao Qian’s explanation of Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder last night, Yu Minglang looked closely at Ye Xiaoyu’s face.

No doubt, Qian Bao’s reminder made Ye Xiaoyu’s makeup look more elaborate. Although she tried to make it as natural-looking as possible, it was still very different from Xiao Qian’s truly natural complexion.

By this logic, his Qian Bao’s facial features were indeed perfect, and she looked good with or without makeup. Were these other women just here to highlight Qian Bao’s uniqueness?

Now, Yu Minglang’s mind was filled with thoughts of how to abduct his Qian Bao. He could easily get distracted by her even when chatting casually with others.

While he was distracted, Ye Xiaoyu felt that he was looking at her face very seriously. She had been squatting and waiting for the right opportunity to have a chance encounter with him.

“Minglang, how have you been these years? What do you do for a living? You missed every class reunion.” Ye Xiaoyu handed him one of the two cups of coffee she was holding.

“Job is confidential.”

After asking a bunch of questions, Yu Minglang replied with a four-word answer, making the atmosphere a bit awkward.

Ye Xiaoyu pulled up a chair beside him and sat down.

“Minglang, you seem to have changed a lot.”

“I’m now a family man; I can’t always be like a student.”

Yu Minglang’s words made Ye Xiaoyu’s eyes darken, but her smile quickly returned.

“How did you meet your fiancée, and when will you introduce her to our classmates at the reunion? We all care about you. By the way, Minglang, what’s your phone number? I’ll notify you of the next class reunion.”

“My phone is out of power, and I don’t remember the number. So, I’ll give you my fiancée’s number. You can tell her if there’s anything. I work in a confidential department and often can’t be reached. If our classmates need help, they can find me through my fiancée.”

Ye Xiaoyu felt that her smile was about to falter.

“Minglang, you were different back then. Why do you keep mentioning your fiancée now?”

Back when they played basketball together, he could hardly speak a few words during a game. She felt that he only saw her as an automatic ball-serving machine. Why did he talk so much about other women now?

Every word hurt…

“Yes, I shouldn’t keep mentioning my fiancée.” Yu Minglang agreed, just as Ye Xiaoyu thought about reminiscing about their basketball days together. He added.

“We’ll be husband and wife soon; I should say ‘my wife’ directly.”

Ye Xiaoyu’s smile stiffened on her face.

The atmosphere became silent and awkward for a few seconds.

Then, something even more embarrassing happened.

“Piggy~ Your nose has two holes~ When you have a cold, your nostrils are dripping like a snotty cow~”

Naughty Xiao Qian’s singing echoed in the silent space.

Using a recording as a ringtone was a new feature. Back then, Yu Minglang had asked Xiao Qian to sing a song for him as a mobile phone ringtone. He especially liked the funny version of “I Love You” sung by Zhang Xueyou in The Eagle Shooting Heroes. It was the song that went “I love you, you, you, you.”

He had been too smug, thinking that someone like Boss Qian, a cool goddess-like woman, could never sing such a funny song. Although the song’s content wasn’t what he had hoped for, he couldn’t be too picky.

Thus, the Piggy Song became Yu Minglang’s ringtone. Xiao Qian threatened him that since she sang it, he had to use it. If she found out that the song was not set as his ringtone, he would sleep on the floor!

Ye Xiaoyu’s mask was about to drop. Didn’t he say his phone was out of power? Was the ringtone just a hallucination?!

Just as Yu Minglang was about to answer the call, Xiao Qian’s voice came from the doorway.

“So, you’re here. Anchor Ye is also here.” Xiao Qian walked over, and Yu Minglang stood up to greet her.

“Isn’t it not time yet?”

“There’s an ad break in the middle. I was feeling a bit thirsty and wanted you to get me a glass of water.”

Yu Minglang immediately took the coffee Ye Xiaoyu had given him earlier and handed it to Xiao Qian, ignoring Ye Xiaoyu’s stiff and barely smiling face. Xiao Qian took a sip, her eyebrows relaxed.

“Tastes good.”

“Glad you like it.”

It, was, mine! Ye Xiaoyu roared inwardly. She had waited all night just to catch up with Yu Minglang. Why did everything that happened afterward prove to be so upsetting?

“It’s from Ye Xiaoyu.” Yu Minglang said, and Ye Xiaoyu nodded vigorously in her mind, affirming, it was from her! Meiwei, be annoyed!

But it didn’t happen.

Xiao Qian’s smile was even brighter.

“No wonder it’s so delicious. Anchor Ye is indeed a woman of taste. But darling, you drank someone else’s coffee. What if her friend comes by?”

Yu Minglang immediately took out his wallet, “How much is it, I’ll pay for it.”

“No need, you guys get back to what you were doing. I have something else to take care of.” Ye Xiaoyu stood up, feeling too embarrassed to stay any longer. Yu Minglang’s words were like a slap in her face.

After she left, Yu Minglang hugged Xiao Qian and pinched her cheek, “Naughty!”

“Hmph, are you feeling sorry for her?”

Yes, she arrived early and heard everything, and deliberately called him so Ye Xiaoyu could hear his ringtone. So what?

“Why should I feel sorry? She has nothing to do with me. If she didn’t have that intention, what I said earlier was fine. Isn’t that how classmates should interact?”

If there was that intention, all the more reason to say so. He, a man with emotional cleanliness, didn’t want to get involved in these matters. His Xiao Mei had told him that if he acted indiscriminately out there, his “toolset” would be confiscated!

“Good performance, keep it up. I’m going back to the broadcast.” Xiao Qian did a round of inspection and was extremely satisfied with the results.

The preventive shot worked well, and all potential love rivals were dealt with. No problem, old iron.
