u feeling hot at all" Sun Xinxin asked curiously.Xia Tian chuckled, "Sis Immortal said I'm naturally like an air conditioner, warm in winter and cool in summer." "Xin姐, do you want to feel cooler""Of...Chapter 576: Obsessive Cleanliness
Ye Mengying's pretty face turned slightly red, and just as she was about to say something, a somewhat surprised voice came from the side: "Managing Director Ye, what a coincidence"
Ye Mengying turned around and saw a man and a woman walking towards them. The man looked to be in his mid-twenties, tall and handsome, dressed impeccably in a suit with an elegant demeanor. The woman appeared to be in her thirties, also wearing a business suit but one that was bright red, with a skirt that ended rather short, obviously showing off her snowy white legs. Overall, she kept herself well-maintained both physically and facially; however, the makeup looked a bit heavy.
Ye Mengying had never met this man before, but the woman was someone she knew from the past.
"Managing Director Guo, nice to see you again," Ye Mengying smiled at the woman.
"Managing Director Ye, when did you come to Beijing Why didn’t you let me know" Managing Director Guo seemed very enthusiastic, her fox-like eyes quickly landing on Xia Tian. "Is this person a friend of Managing Director Ye’s"
Clearly, the managing director was deliberately asking a question she already knew the answer to, as at that moment, Ye Mengying had her arm looped around Xia Tian's, and their relationship should have been quite obvious.
"It's Xia Tian; he's my fiancé," Ye Mengying glanced at Xia Tian and introduced him to the lady, "Xia Tian, this is Ms. Guo Lan, the vice president of Yue Liao Euro in China."
"I see, Mr. Xia," Guo Lan’s eyes sparkled with interest as she extended her delicate hand towards Xia Tian, "It's a pleasure to meet you, Mr. Xia."
However, after several seconds, Guo Lan felt slightly awkward because Xia Tian didn't seem interested in shaking hands.
"Sorry, Ms. Guo, Xia Tian has a bit of cleanliness obsession, so..." Ye Mengying quickly interjected to smooth over the situation, but she herself was confused as to why Xia Tian wouldn't want to shake hands with Guo Lan.
"Oh, it's alright," Guo Lan retracted her hand. With Ye Mengying’s explanation, she wasn’t feeling too awkward anymore; whether or not Xia Tian had a cleanliness obsession didn’t really matter anyway.
She gave Ye Mengying an alluring smile and continued, "Ms. Ye, it's almost noon now. How about we grab lunch together"
"Sorry, Ms. Guo, but we have some personal matters to attend to, so perhaps another time," Ye Mengying glanced at Xia Tian before shaking her head in refusal of Guo Lan’s invitation.
"Alright then, let's reschedule over the phone." Guo Lan was quite considerate as well; at the end, she gave Ye Mengying a slightly ambiguous smile and said, "I won't bother General Manager Ye and Mr. Xia on their date."
Guo Lan took that handsome man with her and quickly got into a car which then left the parking lot.
"Shall we go too" Ye Mengying asked Xia Tian. The two of them walked out of the parking lot, entering the Cabine Hotel.
Ye Mengying went to the reception desk first, checked in, and took a room key before she headed up the floor with Xia Tian to their room. However, it wasn't a presidential suite or any ostentatious room but rather an ordinary romantic suite.
Seeing the large bed in the room and its suggestive decor, Ye Mengying's heart rate sped up involuntarily despite knowing that this was perfectly normal. It was still her first time sharing a room with a man, so she couldn't help feeling a bit nervous.
Ye Mengying put down her belongings and sat on the edge of the bed. To hide her nervousness, she started up a conversation: "Xia Tian, why didn't you shake hands with Guo Lan just now"
Xia Tian looked at Ye Mengying oddly: "Sis, don't you know the reason"
"I know" Ye Mengying was taken aback. If she knew, why would he ask her
"Yes!" Xia Tian nodded his head. "Sis Beauty, didn’t you just say so yourself"
"Did I say that" Ye Mengying was even more confused. She had merely come up with an excuse on the spot and said Xia Tian was fastidious; did he really have a case of being overly clean Although she hadn't spent much time with him, she didn’t see any signs of him having such tendencies.
Xia Tian nodded again: "Sis Beauty, you just said I’m fastidious!"
"Are you truly fastidious" Ye Mengying couldn’t help but ask.
"A little bit. Anyway, that woman is pretty dirty, so I don't want to shake hands with her," Xia Tian replied.
Ye Mengying still didn’t quite understand: "But Gu Lan seems clean enough!"
"Oh, Miss, there are some things that you can't see as dirty. That woman keeps changing men all the time; she's so filthy that I feel my hand would get dirty if I shook hers."
Upon hearing this, Ye Mengying finally understood what Summer meant by "dirty"!
"Miss, do you know her well" Summer asked at this moment.
Mengying shook her head. "Actually, we're not close. It's just that recently, the Yalaio Group wanted to acquire our Tiannan Group, and Guo Lan was their representative for the acquisition talks, so I got to know her through that process. However, I rejected their offer, but they seem not to have given up yet."
"Oh, it's good then, if you don't know her well. I don't like that woman," Summer said with relief.
“Well, forget about Guo Lan then. Let’s go downstairs and eat; there’s a restaurant on the first floor.” Ye Mengying wasn’t as nervous now. In fact, she had mentally prepared herself for this situation before coming here. She had called to book this suite earlier, which naturally meant that she was already prepared to stay in the same room with Summer.
Summer didn't object to this suggestion; it was indeed time to eat now.
The two of them went downstairs to the restaurant, found a spot to sit down, and Ye Mengying started placing their order. Xia Tian, with nothing else to do, had his eyes wandering around when suddenly he spotted someone familiar.
In one corner of the restaurant sat a purple-haired woman facing away from everyone; although her face wasn’t visible, many people couldn't help but glance in her direction due to her outstanding figure. As for Xia Tian, however, there was no need for him to see her face—he could identify who she was simply by her body posture. He was far too familiar with every inch of her.
"What are you looking at" Ye Mengying had finished placing their order and noticed that Xia Tian had been staring at the corner, so she glanced over in his direction as well. "Do you know her"
"Yes, I do." Xia Tian nodded; he had shared a bed with her for several nights—how could he not know her
“Then should we go and say hi to her” Ye Mengying asked him.
“Sis, wait for me here. I’ll go over there and talk to her,” Xia Tian stood up and walked towards the corner.
The purple-haired beauty sitting in the corner sensed someone approaching and instinctively tensed up a bit, but she quickly relaxed again and pretended as if nothing had happened while continuing to eat her food. by a single cent," the man said calmly, his voice cool and collected without any sign of anger."Hey, what kind of compensation Our Yang Shan doesn’t want your money at all! She came here to help you...
