Black-bellied CEO: Lai Shang's Assistant

Chapter 68

When the group of them arrived at the hotel where Peter was staying, Peter sat on the sofa and read the newspaper, as if he knew they would come.

Tang Xiaochen walked over with a smile on his face, "Give me the design manuscript, I'll be very grateful."

Peter raised his head and glanced at her indifferently, and continued to read the newspaper in his hand, "Where is Bai Muhan, he has pushed me so hard that he didn't even come over to get it from me himself. When he asked me to help him with the design, he said he could do whatever he wanted. It's time to submit the manuscript. That kid broke his promise, I want to talk about him."

"Hey, you are a foreigner with a body as strong as a bull, why are you so small-minded. The CEO is busy and has no time to come." Tang Xiaochen pouted dissatisfiedly.

Shangguan Ye and Bai Qixuan were already busy enough for her. If there was another big bad wolf, she would probably have to walk around.But now her belly is about to burst, how can she eat.

Peter was obviously dissatisfied with her answer, and said with a smile: "I called him just now, and he said he would come over in a while."

"You dead man, why did you let us come over after calling him?" Tang Xiaochen threw a pillow on Peter's face, just in time to knock off Peter's elegant glasses.

Peter was dissatisfied, and laughed jokingly: "I just like to be lively, so I can only have fun if you all come."

She didn't bother to pay attention to Peter, her mind was full of the news that Bai Muhan would be arriving soon.She doesn't want to meet him yet, and it will only be embarrassing if she does.I have avoided it as much as possible in the company, wouldn't it be more embarrassing to meet in private.

She gave Peter a bitter look, turned around and was about to leave.Bai Qixuan didn't ask anything, but followed behind her.Seeing that the two of them looked like conjoined twins, Shangguan Ye frowned tightly.

Peter saw that he was unhappy, and said with a smile: "You also said that you are just ordinary friends, the way you look at her is obviously a man looking at a woman."

"What nonsense are you talking about? I only regard her as my younger sister." Shangguan Ye looked back and sat down beside Peter.

Peter didn't speak, but he didn't believe Shangguan Ye's words at all.He is a man, how could he not understand the eyes of a man when he falls in love with a woman.But the person involved vehemently denied it, so he just pretended he hadn't seen anything.

"I'll go out for a while." Tang Xiaochen walked for less than ten seconds, and Shangguan Ye couldn't sit still anymore.

Peter reached out to grab him, but only caught air.In desperation, he had no choice but to feel sorry for himself and said: "I have called a whole room of friends, why is no one willing to play with me?"

Shangguan Ye ran extremely fast, so naturally he didn't hear Peter's complaint, even if he heard it, he wouldn't take it to heart.

Tang Xiaochen and Bai Qixuan were about to get on the elevator when the elevator door opened suddenly.Bai Muhan in a suit appeared in the elevator, and she immediately had nowhere to hide.

Bai Muhan frowned when he saw her mixing with Bai Qixuan, but he didn't embarrass her in public.He knows that this idiot needs to be strong, the more forceful you are, the more she resists.More importantly, he still doesn't know what he wants.

"President." Tang Xiaochen silently stepped aside and nodded to Bai Muhan.

Bai Muhan didn't make any move, just passed her and walked directly to Peter's room.She felt empty for a moment, feeling like she was missing something.

Seeing her staring at Bai Muhan's back in a daze, Bai Qixuan said, "Let's go, we are no longer needed."

She withdrew her gaze, pulled back Piaoyuan's thoughts, and was about to get into the elevator.The moment the elevator door closed, Shangguan Ye suddenly pulled her out.

With her slender body, she passed through the narrow gap steadily.But Bai Qixuan was caught off guard and could only follow the elevator down.

She didn't know what Shangguan Ye was going to do, so she could only subconsciously break free from Shangguan Ye's shackles.Shangguan Ye took her to the stairs, and asked with a serious expression, "Who is your heart on?"

Tang Xiaochen was slightly taken aback, knowing that Shangguan Ye was asking her why she was vacillating between the two brothers of the Bai family.In fact, she didn't waver at all, she didn't have Bai Qixuan in her heart, and Bai Muhan didn't have her in his heart.

"Tell me, who are you facing?" Shangguan Ye asked again when she saw her bow her head and said nothing.

Tang Xiaochen bit her lip and faltered for a long time without saying a complete sentence.

Shangguan Ye's anger was instantly extinguished. He felt speechless. Why did he interfere with this matter? This matter had nothing to do with him.

"Forget it, it doesn't matter who you turn to, as long as you don't regret it." Shangguan Ye took a deep breath and smiled wryly.

Tang Xiaochen slightly parted her lips, "I don't have Bai Qixuan in my heart."

"What about Bai Muhan?" Shangguan Ye asked.

Her eyes dodged, her eyes were out of focus.She didn't know how to answer Shangguan Ye, because she was also conflicted in her heart.On the one hand, he wanted to get close to Bai Muhan, but on the other hand, he was afraid that he would be crushed to pieces.More importantly, Bai Muhan doesn't necessarily have her in his heart.

"I don't know." After a long silence, she only uttered five vague words.

The momentary loss between Shangguan Ye's brows was well hidden by him. She answered "I don't know" instead of "I don't like it", which shows that Bai Muhan's position in her heart is different from that of other men.

He once swore that he would never fall in love with a woman again in this life.Because a woman is a deadly poison, seemingly beautiful but can kill you in an instant.That kind of heart-piercing pain is enough once, and he doesn't guarantee that he can survive it again.

"If you don't have a strong heart, don't let yourself get close to the pain. If you are prepared, just remember that you will still have me as a friend when you get hurt." This is the biggest promise he can give, because he is also afraid of getting hurt.

Tang Xiaochen nodded, watching Shangguan Ye push open the door at the top of the stairs.She leaned against the wall and didn't move, so she didn't see Bai Muhan who was hiding behind the door.

Shangguan Ye closed the door on purpose, raised his eyes and gave Bai Muhan a look.Bai Muhan understood, and followed Shangguan Ye to the other end of the hotel corridor.

"Why do you think Qi Xuan approached Tang Xiaochen?" Shangguan Ye stood by the window, overlooking the busy city from a height.

Bai Muhan frowned, and said, "Maybe it's because of Shi Jing, he wanted to create opportunities for Shi Jing."

"He likes Shi Jing, why did he push Shi Jing to you?" Shangguan Ye looked puzzled.

With his hands in his pockets, Bai Muhan's slender figure was wrapped in a well-tailored suit.He stood by the window, and his back seemed a little silent. After a while, he said: "Sometimes liking doesn't have to be possessive."

"What about you, do you have to possess what you like?" Shangguan Ye took a step forward to see Bai Muhan's expression at this time.

Bai Muhan knew that Shangguan Ye was implying Tang Xiaochen, but he couldn't do it like when he was talking about work.Because many things will become complicated when they involve emotions, and he has no way to start.

Seeing that Bai Muhan didn't speak for a long time, Shangguan Ye snorted coldly and said, "As proud as Bai Muhan, there are things you want but don't dare to want. Although I don't know what you are thinking, if you let her go, don't regret it."
