Some say that only after paying homage to the Matchmaker in a past life can one meet their destined lover in this life. Xiao Yufan believed that he must have been related to the Matchmaker, otherwise how could so many beauties surround him?
Having two gorgeous girls dine with him was quite a delightful experience, and Xiao Yufan’s gloomy mood lightened a bit.
Yu Yihan was fine; Xiao Yufan had already gotten used to her extremely graceful way of eating. But Qin Menglu surprised him greatly. Within just a few minutes, she devoured half the dishes on the table like a whirlwind sweeping away the remnants of clouds, showing no signs of slowing down.
Xiao Yufan simply stopped eating and watched Qin Menglu devour her meal, a sour feeling rising in his chest. He hadn’t expected this girl to have such a gluttonous heart. What amazed him even more was that despite eating like this, her figure remained so perfect.
“Brother Fan, you’re amazing! I want to eat your cooking every day from now on…”
While both of them stared in shock, Qin Menglu finally paused, glancing somewhat awkwardly at the untouched rice on their plates.
“I’d rather not. I’m afraid you’d eat me out of house and home. Look at me now—I’m practically living under someone else’s roof. How could I afford to support another person?”
Xiao Yufan glanced at Yu Yihan, who remained somewhat cold, and shrugged helplessly, his eyes drifting slightly. Facing Qin Menglu’s straightforward praise, he actually felt a little embarrassed.
“No worries! I’ll support you. You just have to cook. Anyway, my dad isn’t short of money!”
Qin Menglu’s words were casual and carefree. Clearly, this girl was straightforward and innocent, almost too pure. If she were out in the world, she might indeed end up, as Yu Yihan had said, being sold and still helping her seller count the money.
Speechless, Xiao Yufan realized that Qin Menglu really knew how to keep the conversation going. Now it was his turn not knowing how to respond. This girl was truly a treasure.
For some reason, seeing the two chatting so intimately, Yu Yihan felt a sudden irritation. Yet, thinking about it, she couldn’t really figure out why she should feel that way.
“People who are shameless are invincible…”
Yu Yihan muttered softly. Ever since Xiao Yufan had taken out that gold card, she had already determined that this somewhat flashy guy was definitely no ordinary person. Now he was pretending to be pitiful—she couldn’t find words to describe such a person anymore.
Perhaps Qin Menglu hadn’t heard Yu Yihan’s remark, but Xiao Yufan had heard it clearly. His body stiffened involuntarily. It seemed that whatever he did now could provoke this young lady’s displeasure.
…
Wisely, Xiao Yufan chose to take the bullet train to work. He could easily tell that Yu Yihan now found his presence annoying. Staying together any longer would only be asking for embarrassment.
“Hey, buddy, you finally showed up! Where’ve you been all these days?”
As soon as he stepped into the office, Lin Pinle’s voice rang out. Xiao Yufan walked toward his desk. Although he hadn’t come to work for quite some time, his desk wasn’t as messy as he had expected.
“There was something going on at home. I went back to my hometown for a while!” Xiao Yufan replied casually, plopping down into his chair. He glanced at his busy colleagues and continued, “Why does it feel like the company has changed so much? From the moment I walked in, everything felt a bit strange…”
“Well, the company just went public, so there’s a ton of work. Unlike you, who’s so free now, I don’t know why our President Yu favors you so much…”
Lin Pinle gave a disapproving look. After all, they were both employees—why was Xiao Yufan’s fate so good, while he was stuck working like a dog all day?
“Nothing I can do about it, bro. I was just born with that kind of spoiled face. If you don’t like it, come hit me…”
Xiao Yufan wore a smug expression, leaving Lin Pinle speechless. In his eyes, this guy was simply a rare oddity.
“Whatever, don’t talk nonsense. Just get started on your work. Oh, and I forgot to tell you—we’ve both been promoted to assistant managers!”
“Assistant managers? Has she lost her mind?” Xiao Yufan nearly spat out the water he had just sipped. He had been expecting Yu Yihan to fire him, not Lin Pinle bringing such unexpected good news.
“Lost her mind? Impossible! With my dashing charm and rising performance, even becoming an assistant manager is beneath me!”
“Six words for you… Go cool off somewhere…”
“That’s seven words…” After hesitating for a while, Lin Pinle finally noticed, only to be met with Xiao Yufan’s lecherous grin.
“Knew you’d only be able to count to one, you fool…” Xiao Yufan then simply turned his chair forward, too lazy to keep bantering with this guy. The pile of work accumulated over the past few days seemed enough to keep him busy for an entire day…
