BXBX NOVEL Chapter 227 - Love In The Air
"Don't worry about that, I can order food when I get to the office," Wen Min said, smiling at him.
"I am sorry for taking much of your time," Shiyi apologised sincerely. Just then, Shiyi suddenly acted as though he recalled something.
"Wait here for a minute. I will be back soon. Don't move a muscle from here or I will get mad at you," Shiyi said before he hurried to the counter. He came back a few minutes later with a bag of food.
"Take this," Shiyi said, stretching his hand to give her the bag, but Wen Min refused to take it.
"I have already said that you don't have to worry about it. I can handle...,"
"Please, Wen Min take it or I will feel guilty for the entire day for making you miss your lunch. See it as a little token of my appreciation for sparing me your time," Shiyi insisted, his hand still outstretched.
Wen Min stared at him for a few seconds, contemplating whether or not to accept the bag from him.
"If you insist then, there is nothing wrong in accepting it," Wen Min said, as she collected the bag from him.
"Goodbye Shiyi, I will meet you in the bar immediately after work. Don't be late, Ok," Wen Min said as she turned to leave.
"Let me drop you off, I am sure you didn't come with your car," Shiyi offered in a soft tone.
"Have I ever told you that you are such a gentleman?" Wen Min asked, beaming at him.
"Even though you have never mentioned it, I know I am because I have heard that way too often from my two beautiful women," Shiyi said with humour, as they both headed towards the entrance.
When they got to the front of the BEST Enterprises, Wen Min got off the car. For the first time, he didn't go in to meet Yang Zi. Wen Min headed to the building smiling radiantly. Everyone who saw her noticed the change in her mood.
"I can feel love in the air," Yang Zi who came to the ground floor to get some documents for Yifeng and saw Shiyi drop Wen Min off exclaimed winking at her.
"Love? What love?" Wen Min asked, instantly feigning ignorance about what Yang Zi said.
"I could feel and also perceive love all over you. I am sure I am not the only one," Yang Zi said, pointing at other workers who were staring at them with keen interest.
"Zi Er, stop teasing me. I don't know what you are talking about," Wen Min said, instantly entering the elevator which just opened.
"I saw him drop you off. He did not even bother to come in to check up on me. I guess both of you are okay now, right?" Yang Zi asked as she joined her in the elevator. Those who were previously in the elevator came down, remaining only the two of them in the elevator. Yang Zi pressed hers and Wen Min's floor button.
"He did not come in because he was in a rush," Wen Min lied in between her teeth.
"No matter how busy Shiyi is, he always checks up on me so you don't have to lie for him. I have noticed that change in him for a while now. It's like he is keeping a safe distance from me. This has never happened before, I am having a hard time adjusting to it," Yang Zi said, staring at Wen Min.
"Isn't it a good thing that he is keeping a safe distance from you? Feng will no longer be jealous of him anymore, so it's good for you," Wen Min said, her focused on Yang Zi to see her reaction.
"You can't say that. As much as I love Feng, I also love Shiyi too. He and Shui Shui have stayed by my side during my most turbulent times. No one can stand in between the friendship we share. He is very important to me, so never compare Shiyi with Feng. And also Feng is cool with my friendship with Shiyi, it's pointless for him to get jealous of him," Yang Zi scolded seriously.
"Ok, I am sorry for what I said. I shouldn't have uttered those words," Wen Min apologised with sincerity. The comment she made earlier were deliberate. She said those to see her reaction. At the moment, she felt glad that Yang Zi did not disappoint her.
"It's ok, just don't say those words again," Yang Zi said meekly. Wen Min walked out of the elevator when it opened on the third floor.
"Congratulations on settling things with Shiyi. Seeing both of you earlier, I couldn't help but think that you both look good together," Yang Zi said, as she waited for the elevator to close.
"Thank you. Your words mean a lot to me," Wen Min said before the elevator closed. Yang Zi's smile turned to a frown when she saw Zhao Liying discussing with Yifeng through the transparent glass wall.
Yang Zi sat on the seat waiting for the visitor to leave so she would hand over the files to Yifeng. The ringing tone of the phone brought the absentminded Yang Zi back to reality.
"Zi Er, come in with the documents. I need to sign them now," Yifeng said over the phone before he disconnected the line.
Zi Er!
Yang Zi thought, surprised that Yifeng called her Zi Er when it wasn't only the both of them.
"I guess he did that to piss her off," Yang Zi mumbled, staring at the already frowning Zhao Liying through the glass wall.
"Boss, these are the files you asked me to bring? I didn't bring it in immediately because you had a guest," Yang Zi said, the moment she stepped foot into his office. She acted as though she didn't see Zhao Liying, whose murderous glare was directed at her.
"What she had to say wasn't that urgent, you should have just brought in the documents since you know they need my urgent attention," Yifeng said, beckoning her to come closer.
"Feng, as I was saying....,"
"It's boss, not Feng," Yifeng corrected harshly.
