Chairman Husband, Too Boorish - 93

Chapter 93 : Her design has been leaked!

"Chairman Liang, you should have more than one car, right?" For a person of his status, there must be many cars in the garage. It's just a car. Even if she already gets used to it, she doesn't believe that he is the kind of person who insists on anything.

"I'm not sure if there's any fuel in any car that I don't usually drive." Liang Xi Cheng unbuttoned the cuffs of his shirt and said in a calm voice with no emotion, "Besides, as I just said, this is a matter of my habits."

Yan Liang almost lost her temper, "Chairman Liang, it's just for one day, how about you open the garage and let me choose any car?"

"I don't have the key." He went directly into the kitchen, poured a glass of water, and asked her very politely as the host, "After talking so much, are you thirsty?"

"Chairman Liang ..."

"Are you afraid that you won't be able to go back? I do have another plan for you to choose." Liang Xi Cheng raised his eyebrows and pointed above his head, "This villa is not small. There are many rooms upstairs. You can choose one for yourself. Stay for the night and go to the bidding meeting venue with me tomorrow."

"Chairman Liang, isn't this bad?" Yan Liang pursed her lips and raised her eyebrows, "Aren't you making things difficult for me? I'm just your employee, but staying in my boss's house. If others find out, they might think us …"

"What do you think we are?" Liang Xi Cheng's long and tall body approached her silently. He put the water glass in his hand on the coffee table beside him, forcing Yan Liang to retreat. He leaned in towards the sofa with his hands propped on both of her sides and looked at her with a smirk on his face, "What are you thinking? Do you think I want you to stay here because I have some ulterior motives towards you? Are you thinking too much, huh?"

Yan Liang's face turned bright red.

This man was making flirtatious moves and saying things that made people's hearts beat faster, but he said with an innocent face that he had no ulterior motives about her at all ...

Yan Liang felt that he was simply playing with her!

Is this interesting?

There was a burning anger mixed with disappointment deep in her heart. She angrily squeezed her hands on her sides and retorted loudly, "Am I overthinking? If Chairman Liang thinks that I am overthinking ... then you ... then don’t say those ambiguous words to me, and don’t get so close to me at all times! Then I won’t think too much! Why ... are you always like this? I am just an ordinary woman, and I also have feelings and intentions. I ..."

"So you have feelings too."

Before Yan Liang finished shouting, Liang Xi Cheng interrupted her slowly.

The smile at the corner of his mouth seemed to be a little deeper, and those enchanting eyes seemed to be filled with dazzling starlight for a moment, so dazzling that people dare not look directly. His voice was deep, "You don't understand why I’m doing this? Then I can give you time to think about it carefully. When you figure it out, we can have a good talk."

Seeing her dumbfounded and blushing expression, Liang Xi Cheng felt a hint of softness in his heart, and his voice seemed to be softer, "The guest room at the corner of the second floor, you will sleep there tonight."

After he finished speaking, before Yan Liang could react, he turned around, bent down to pick up his water glass from the coffee table, took a sip, and then went upstairs.

Yan Liang watched that tall figure disappear completely at the corner of the stairs, but she still didn't fully regained her senses.

Just now, what did he ... said?

"Can't you understand why I'm doing this? Then I can give you time to think about it carefully. When you figure it out, we can have a good talk."

Her brain was buzzing, and all the noisy sounds in her ears seemed to be going backwards and forwards. In the end, all that was left in the world was the low and charming voice in her ears, and the sound of her heartbeat ...

Yan Liang couldn't help but reached out and gently covered her chest, then slowly closed her eyes——

It's all true, his words are true, her feelings are true ...

But with everything so real, why did she always feel so vague and unreal?

The sentence she didn't finish just now—I am just an ordinary woman, I also have feelings and intentions, I don't want to, don't dare, and can't ...

A bitter smile slowly curved at the corner of her mouth. Yan Liang took a deep breath, adjusted her emotions, and then walked towards the second floor.

She couldn't go back tonight, and she didn't plan to make a fuss anymore. After all, there was a very important bidding tomorrow.

She can no longer think about unrealistic things now. Liang Xi Cheng is right, she can't just do her best, she has to win that project!

***

In front of the large floor-to-ceiling window of the master bedroom, the man put one hand in his trousers pocket and held a glass in the other. The red wine in the glass swayed with the careless movements of his hand.

When the phone call came in, he took it out of his pocket and asked, "Did you get it?"

Guan Jiu's voice was a bit awkward, "... Chairman Liang, the eraliest we can do is tomorrow evening. The attending doctor at XX Hospital does not dare to give the patient's case privately, so I asked the dean, but the dean just went to City C to attend a seminar and won’t be back until tomorrow afternoon.”

Liang Xi Cheng said "hmm", paused and asked, "What's going on with Jing Shan?"

Liang Jing Shan suddenly entered the EC design department. Liang Xi Cheng had no knowledge of this matter beforehand, but he could probably guess that it must have been arranged by his father at Liang's headquarters.

"Chairman Liang, I'm sorry about this matter. It was ordered by Director Liang himself, and it was so sudden that I didn't have time to inform you. Miss Liang had already been assigned."

Liang Xi Cheng stretched out his hand and pinched the slightly painful bridge of his nose, "Let people keep an eye on her. She is pregnant now and will be getting married in a few days. Don't let anything happen to her."

Liang Xi Cheng naturally knew that Liang Jing Shan entered EC's design department in such a targeted manner, and it must have something to do with Yan Liang.

But she is his biological sister after all. If she keeps her composure, she can certainly learn a lot in the design department, and he won't be too opposed to her coming to work.

***

Yan Liang was a bit uncomfortable with sleeping, so she didn't sleep very well that night and woke up several times in the middle of the night. Before 7 o'clock the next day, she was no longer sleepy, but she was in low spirits.

She washed herself briefly and had no clothes to change, and she always felt uncomfortable all over.

After leaving the room and going downstairs, she found that Liang Xi Cheng had also gotten up.

He was sitting in the dining room having breakfast, looking refreshed. He must have had a good rest last night.

"Have some breakfast, and go directly to the bidding venue later." When Liang Xi Cheng heard the footsteps, he didn't even raise his head, and just shook the newspaper in his hand.

Yan Liang knew that she had no choice but to take his car to the bidding venue today. Fortunately, she was not going directly to the company. Anyway, no other employees would see her at the bidding venue and she was originally the representative of EC. Even if she took his car, there won't be any major problem.

She comforted herself like this and felt much better. She sat down gracefully, and a servant prepared breakfast for her and brought it to her. She said thank you and started eating quietly.

Neither of them said much at the dining table. Liang Xi Cheng seemed to be concentrating on reading the newspaper in his hand, while Yan Liang was thinking about the bidding meeting for a while.

Half an hour later, both of them had almost done eating. Liang Xi Cheng put down the newspaper in his hand and finally looked at her, "Have you eaten?"

"I had."

"Now go to the bidding meeting, are you ready?"

Yan Liang nodded, "But I have to go back to the company. All my things are at the company."

Liang Xi Cheng stood up directly, walked out of the dining room, picked up his coat from the sofa in the living room, and put it on, "Just go to the bidding meeting with me. Guan Jiu will get your things for you."

Yan Liang thought that since he had made all the arrangements, she didn't say anything more and got into the car with him.

She automatically chose to open the rear seat door, but Liang Xi Cheng held her hand down and said, "Take the front seat."

Yan Liang struggled out with some resistance, "... I can just sit in the back."

"Take the front seat." Liang Xi Cheng insisted, his low tone irresistible, "I'm not used to always turning my head to talk to people in the back seat of the car."

Yan Liang could only surrender, obediently opened the passenger seat, bent down and sat in.

The car moved forward steadily, but the two of them didn't seem to say anything on the road. Yan Liang felt that the closer she got to the bidding venue, the more nervous she became, so much so that when Liang Xi Cheng turned on the sound system midway, she was completely unaware. All that was flashing through her mind were all the data and statistics. The structure of the building, and the draft she had memorized before.

When the car stopped, Liang Xi Cheng realized that the woman next to him had her fingers clasped together and her eyes lowered. He didn't know what she was thinking, but her whole body was tense and she was not aware of her biting her lips which completely revealed how tense and uneasy she was at the moment.

Liang Xi Cheng reached out to unbuckle his seat belt, then leaned over to help her unbuckle her seat belt.

Yan Liang felt a familiar breath coming towards her face, and she suddenly came back to her senses. When she raised her head, her thin lips were right against the side of Liang Xi Cheng's face, which was close at hand.

Her brain buzzed, and she wanted to avoid it, but she couldn't.

Liang Xi Cheng had already reached out and clasped the back of her head, bringing her lips to his.

Yan Liang's body stiffened, staring with dumbfounded eyes, and she didn't know where to put her hands and feet. This wasn't the first time they kissed. Every time it seemed to be so sudden and so inexplicable that she didn't even have the strength to resist ...

Liang Xi Cheng's tongue slid across the corners of her lips affectionately, and he gently held her cheeks with his hands, "Are you nervous? So, will you be more nervous if it's like this?"

Yan Liang opened her mouth subconsciously, and with a slight movement of his lips, the tip of his tongue entered her mouth without restraint, and kissed her deeply.

She's out of breath, her brain was messed up, everything was messed up ...

"... No." She tried to resist weakly.

Liang Xi Cheng grabbed her hand that was waving randomly, and after kissed her deeper, he slowly stopped.

He took a deep breath, and then spoke, his voice was hoarse and tense, "I know it's your first time, so you're very nervous, but I hope that what you remember at this moment is my kiss, don't you really want to know why would I do this to you? Bai Yan Liang, look at me—"

Yan Liang's eyes were dazed, but Liang Xi Cheng did not let her escape at all. His seductive eyes were brewing a pool of autumn water as if trying to suck someone in, "If you perform well, after you're done, I will tell you why I kissed you."

Yan Liang was a little dazed. Her watery eyes looked at Liang Xi Cheng with a hint of confusion. There seemed to be some light shining in his eyes. She wanted to catch something, but he had already restrained all of his emotions—

Just like what he said, Bai Yan Liang, if you want to know why I want to kiss you, you should perform well. If you succeed, I will tell you why.

This is another pressure to urge her to move forward.

No woman wouldn't want to know why this man kissed her and hugged her, even though she knew ... it was impossible between them, but ... she still wanted to know.

She really wants to know.

Before entering the bidding venue, Yan Liang made a special trip to the bathroom.

She washed her face with cold water. Liang Xi Cheng's kiss, Liang Xi Cheng's complicated eyes, Liang Xi Cheng's words ...

She gritted her teeth and threw away the images that kept going back and forth in her mind. She couldn't think about anything else now. She only wanted to think about the bidding meeting.

Perhaps she didn't even know that the step she had taken before, which was so nervous and disorganized due to the bidding competition, had been replaced by another feeling.

Now she only thinks about her success, instead of being nervous and confused.

When Yan Liang entered the bidding venue, several companies participating in the bidding were already there.

She saw Liang Xi Cheng sitting at the front, with people from other companies sitting next to him, and occasionally chatting with him.

This man has a calm and reserved temperament. In front of others, he is like a piece of cold jade, breathing out cold air.

But when she thought of the warmth when he held her just now ... her heartbeat couldn't help but speed up a bit.

Women are emotional creature. When you feel that the superior person is always so special to you, you will have a very strange feeling in your heart ...

Yan Liang took a deep breath and secretly told herself not to think too much about unrealistic things now. The most important thing now is to win this project!

She turned her eyes and saw Chu Yi Sheng sitting opposite. He seemed to have seen her, and even raised his hand to greet her. In the huge scene, the lights were as bright as day, but Yan Liang only felt a flash in front of her eyes. The platinum cufflinks on the cuffs of Chu Yi Sheng's gray suit shone with a little silver light, piercing her eyes. She narrowed her eyes subconsciously, without intending to respond, turned around and walked to the seat beside Liang Xi Cheng.

Chu Yi Sheng pretended to be bored and didn't care at all, tugged the corner of his mouth.

"Chairman Chu." The designer who followed him came up to him at this time and asked softly: "We will be in front of EC in a moment. Is there really no problem?"

Chu Yi Sheng's eyes remained at the petite figure not far away. Hearing the words, he just raised his eyebrows. He gently fiddled with his sleeves with his fingers and said lightly: "We are not the ones with problems, but EC.”

***

Five minutes before bidding meeting begins.

First, the Municipal Party Committee Secretary came on stage in person. He was a young man in his thirties, very good-looking, and spoke concisely. He only said a few words, and then the bidding meeting officially began.

EC appeared in the middle, and Far East ranked ahead of EC.

The man who was sitting next to Chu Yi Sheng just now got up and walked to the podium when his name was called.

Yan Liang sat next to Liang Xi Cheng. When the designer from Far East came on stage, she subconsciously glanced in the direction of Chu Yi Sheng, and he happened to be looking at her too.

The moment their eyes met, Yan Liang saw Chu Yi Sheng's extraordinarily deep eyes, looking at her with a half-smiling look.

Her heart trembled inexplicably. She didn't know why, but she felt uneasy.

And this uneasiness soon became a reality——

When the designer from Far East officially put the design drawing on the projection, Yan Liang suddenly stood up from her position and looked at the big screen in disbelief——

That's, that's her design!
