SC - 65

As soon as the words left her mouth, Le Ya felt something was off. It sounded a bit too ambiguous, though their current relationship status made it acceptable.

Chen Yang tilted his head and smiled.

Before Le Ya could fully process what was happening, he leaned over from the driver’s seat, closing the distance between them.

She was sitting in the passenger seat, and no matter how spacious the car was, it still felt cramped. Chen Yang was now right beside her.

So close, Le Ya could see the fine down on his face and catch a faint scent—different from the fresh fragrance she remembered.

She nearly held her breath, pressing herself tightly against the backrest.

One of Chen Yang’s arms rested outside her, surrounding her with an overwhelming wave of male pheromones—an inescapable embrace.

Le Ya whispered softly: “In public…”

He wouldn’t dare kiss her here, would he?

The more she thought about it, the redder her face became. The heat that had just subsided surged back, making her feel restless all over.

Seeing her flustered reaction, Chen Yang suddenly felt mischievous.

He leaned closer, his gaze sweeping from top to bottom before settling on her rosy lips. He murmured in a low voice: “What about being in public?”

Outside the car, everyone held their breath.

Wang Kefei’s face flushed red. She felt like the next scene would be explosive—it was too thrilling.

Le Ya’s nose was lightly brushed.

She blinked, saying: “Don’t even think about doing anything.”

Chen Yang chuckled softly. His arm, which had been resting near her side, lightly tapped her waist. His voice was muffled but teasing: “Don’t you already know what I want to do?”

The tingling sensation made Le Ya shift uncomfortably.

Just as she thought he was about to act, he suddenly reached out and pulled the seatbelt across her chest.

With swift movements, he adjusted it snugly and clicked it into place.

His pale fingers rested on the seatbelt as he smirked mischievously: “I just wanted to buckle your seatbelt.”

Le Ya: “….”

It turned out she had overthought things. She was the one being perverted.

Seeing her embarrassed expression, Chen Yang couldn’t resist pinching her nose lightly. “Don’t sulk.”

Le Ya swatted his hand away.

The colleagues outside watched their intimate interactions—the kind usually reserved for couples.

They were a perfect match, and no one could deny the chemistry between them.

Jiang Mei recalled the scene she had witnessed earlier and her suspicions. Though shaken, she stubbornly clung to her assumptions.

She refused to believe such a great man had fallen into Le Ya’s hands.

When Le Ya sat up straight, she noticed her colleagues standing together outside. Wang Kefei and Jiang Mei hadn’t moved for a long time. When they saw her looking, they all wore strange expressions.

There was no denying that Jiang Mei’s earlier comment had planted seeds of doubt.

Now, seeing how close the two seemed, they began to wonder if Wang Kefei’s guess might be correct. What if Le Ya really was his fiancée?

That would truly be a slap in the face.

Le Ya averted her gaze and urged: “Are we leaving or not?”

Chen Yang said: “What’s worrying you?”

Le Ya replied: “My dad is about to come out.”

Chen Yang: “….”

Fine. That excuse worked well. If Le Yijian came out, whether he could smoothly take Le Ya away would still be questionable.

After leaving the company entrance, Le Ya finally let out a sigh of relief.

Looking at the familiar scenery outside, she suddenly remembered to ask: “How did you know I was back? I didn’t tell you.”

Chen Yang said: “It’s a secret.”

In the afternoon, he had received a message from Su Hui and learned that Le Ya had secretly returned without telling him.

This little girl had grown bold enough to keep secrets from him.

Chen Yang had quickly wrapped up his work and come here, careful not to arrive too early. If Le Yijian found out, he might have been kicked out.

Le Ya said: “Still a secret?”

Chen Yang changed the subject: “What do you want to eat?”

Le Ya thought for a moment but couldn’t decide: “Anything’s fine. You choose. Are Liang Qian and the others coming too?”

“Of course not,” Chen Yang replied.

“Oh.” Le Ya didn’t find anything odd about it. She sniffed lightly: “There’s some kind of fragrance.”

There was perfume placed in the car—it was her favorite brand—but the scent she smelled wasn’t from the perfume.

Le Ya turned her head and glanced at the backseat, where she spotted a large bouquet of flowers neatly placed.

Surprised, she exclaimed: “You even bought flowers?”

Chen Yang glanced at her and softly said: “How could I come to pick up my girlfriend empty-handed?”

Le Ya gave a curious sound: “Not fiancée?”

Chen Yang asked: “Do you agree now?”

Le Ya hummed and didn’t continue the topic.

She hadn’t agreed to the fiancée thing yet, and neither would Le Yijian. Once he saw the press conference, he’d definitely mock Chen Yang.

Le Ya wasn’t about to say anything herself.

Chen Yang took her to a newly opened restaurant. Unlike the small snacks they used to eat at school, he now had the means to let her enjoy luxury.

By the time they arrived at the restaurant, the sunset had completely faded.

The restaurant was on the rooftop, open-air, with only the waitstaff around. Chen Yang had booked the entire place for the evening. A pianist was playing in the background.

Le Ya and Chen Yang walked in together. From here, they could see the riverside night view below. Countless lights had lit up, creating a breathtaking sight.

She had been here a few times before.

Le Ya sat across from him. “I originally planned to tell you after stabilizing for a couple of days. I didn’t expect you to find out so soon.”

Chen Yang lowered his eyes to look at her. “I couldn’t wait.”

Le Ya smiled, her ears red, and said nothing.

He had said this many times before. Every time they parted after a brief meeting, he would passionately kiss her.

Chen Yang tugged at his collar, his two slender fingers slipping inside his shirt. His tie hung loosely, exuding a hint of sexy nonchalance.

Le Ya noticed the tie had been slightly wrinkled by her earlier tug.

Maybe next time she’d buy him a new one.

Lost in her thoughts, Chen Yang waved his hand in front of her face. “What are you thinking about?”

She teased slyly: “Thinking about you.”

Chen Yang narrowed his eyes, looking dangerously enticing.

Le Ya’s heart skipped a beat. Quickly, she added: “I’m kidding! I was wondering when the food would arrive—I’m starving.”

As if on cue, the waiter arrived with the food cart.

After he left, Le Ya told Chen Yang about what happened at her company. When mentioning Jiang Mei, she couldn’t help but say: “She probably thinks I’m seducing you.”

After all, they had been mocking her before.

Le Ya was really curious about Jiang Mei’s mood when she saw her and Chen Yang leaving together this evening.

Chen Yang was most annoyed by such unfounded speculations in the workplace and said, “If you don’t like it, just fire them directly.”

Le Ya said, “What if their design is very good? I have to take a look for reference. I can’t just fire them because of this.”

That would make her unreasonable.

Chen Yang smiled. “Whatever you like.”

Anyway, it was her own family’s company, so she wouldn’t be wronged. He would mention it to his future father-in-law tonight.

It was already several hours later when they came out of the restaurant.

Le Ya asked, “Are your company’s employees off work?”

Chen Yang said, “They are, but there’s overtime today.”

If there was overtime, there shouldn’t be many people left. Le Ya nodded and said softly, “Can I go take a look?”

Chen Yang touched her face. “Of course.”

It wasn’t far from here. When Le Ya saw the company with the name “MOON,” she couldn’t help but blush.

It wasn’t that she was narcissistic, but the name was too obvious.

She hadn’t been back all this time, and she only knew about MOON’s affairs from the news, but she could understand the hardship of his entrepreneurship.

Sometimes when Le Ya video-chatted with him and saw his tired face, her heart ached, but Chen Yang always said he was fine.

Fortunately, he was successful now.

The lights in the company were still on because today was the first day the game was launched, and the traffic was huge, so everyone was still busy.

The receptionist smiled immediately when she saw the president, and then she saw Le Ya beside him, muttering to herself.

When she saw Chen Yang holding her hand, her eyes widened.

Everyone in the company knew that the president was not interested in women. Many women had tried to climb the social ladder, even the secretary had always been a man.

During the press conference today, Chen Yang publicly announced that he had a fiancée, which caused an uproar in the company. The women were devastated, realizing they had no chance at all.

The receptionist watched Chen Yang lower his head to talk to Le Ya. After the two left, she immediately sent a message in the company group: “The president and his fiancée are here!”

“What what?”

“Brought her over so quickly?”

“Are there any photos? Who is she?”

“He flies abroad for a long time every year. I’ve long suspected it.”

Chen Yang took Le Ya on a tour, passing several departments. Although the company had only been established for a few years, all departments were complete.

Many people were working seriously.

Le Ya watched for a while and whispered, “Why are they all working so hard? Can’t it wait until tomorrow?”

Liang Qian, who had just come out from behind, quipped, “We’re not like President Chen, idle all day, only thinking about his girlfriend... no, fiancée.”

He had just learned about the press conference incident from Xie Qingyu. He hadn’t expected that reporter to give Chen Yang a reason to go public.

Liang Qian wondered when he would finally achieve a positive result in his own love life.

Le Ya’s ears turned slightly red. “Liang Qian, if you say that again, I’ll tell Qingyu.”

Liang Qian had a pretty big temper and was usually carefree, but he listened to Xie Qingyu exceptionally, clearly henpecked.

Honestly, she never thought it would be this kind of dynamic.

Compared to Liang Qian, Zhao Mingri and Lin Xinqiao were more troublesome. They had been in a long-distance relationship in college, and then they broke up.

But recently, somehow, they had reconnected. Lin Xinqiao used to pursue Zhao Mingri, but this time it was Zhao Mingri pursuing her.

Unfortunately, times had changed, and it wasn’t so easy anymore.

Seeing familiar friends, Le Ya was quite emotional.

“That won’t do.” Liang Qian quickly begged for mercy. “Who doesn’t know you’re number one in her heart? If she beats me up tonight, you won’t see me tomorrow.”

Le Ya couldn’t help but laugh.

Chen Yang glanced over. “Are you done with your work?”

“Yes, I’m leaving right away.”

Reminded like this, Liang Qian decisively grabbed his files and ran off, saying ambiguously before leaving, “Wish you two a pleasant night.”

Le Ya immediately felt something was wrong. She quickly said, “Hurry up and take me to your office, I want to see it.”

Chen Yang hummed. “Okay.”

As they turned around, all the employees in the office raised their heads in unison, gossip bubbling up in their hearts, their faces flushed with excitement.

Was President Chen so gentle with his fiancée?

The legendary fiancée was actually so delicate and soft. They had thought she would be a strong, older woman. It turned out President Chen had fallen for a soft, cute girl.

But the fiancée was really beautiful, looking like a princess. Her skin wasn’t something ordinary skincare could achieve.

There were many girls in the company, their eyes full of envy.

Everyone remembered the previously gloomy Chen Yang and couldn’t help but shiver. Indeed, people in love were different.

Chen Yang’s office was the same as others. Le Ya felt it was cold and empty, not like a place where someone worked.

She pointed to the desk and suggested, “You should put some small potted plants here, otherwise it looks too empty. I’ll bring you some tomorrow.”

Chen Yang agreed to everything she said. “Okay.”

Watching Le Ya look around with curiosity, he suddenly remembered something. “Are you still going to work tomorrow?”

Le Ya said firmly, “Of course.”

Seeing her say it so quickly, Chen Yang leaned closer and asked again, “Are you sure you still want to go to work tomorrow?”

Le Ya thought he was thinking something else. “Don’t even think about it. I’m definitely going to work tomorrow.”

Chen Yang was speechless, chuckled softly, and reminded her, “Tomorrow is Saturday. Where are you going to work?”

Le Ya: “...”

She became embarrassed and angry, pushed Chen Yang, and questioned, “You did that on purpose just now, didn’t you? You deliberately wanted to see me make a fool of myself.”

Naturally, she couldn’t push him.

Le Ya had known this for a long time. After all, she had experienced such embarrassing things back in school, so this time she was just pretending.

Unexpectedly, Chen Yang grabbed her hand instead.

He intertwined his fingers with hers, and his other hand moved to her lower back, gently stroking it.

Chen Yang trapped her between himself and the desk.

Le Ya was caught off guard and didn’t react at all. She leaned against him, and the next moment she was lifted up and placed on the desk.

Now they were eye to eye.

The desk was a bit cool, and she could feel it clearly through her thin dress.

Le Ya blinked her eyes and accused in a soft voice, “I knew you were thinking about this kind of thing all day long.”

“I’ve been thinking about it for a long time,” Chen Yang said hoarsely.

His slender fingers reached her spinal groove through her clothes, the gentle touch of his fingertips sending shivers of numbness through her.

Le Ya felt uncomfortable and moved slightly.

Seeing her uneasy look, a smile appeared in Chen Yang’s eyes. He leaned closer and called her name in a low voice, “Le Ya.”

Le Ya looked up. “Huh?”

Chen Yang kissed her just like that, without any obstruction.

His tongue pushed into her mouth,缠住 hers, their lips and teeth touching intimately, tangling, sucking on her lips, rolling and nibbling.

Le Ya’s hands rested on his chest.

In the quiet office, only the places where they touched were hot, the temperature rising steadily. Chen Yang held her tightly.

Le Ya could barely breathe.

After a long while, she was finally released, her head resting on Chen Yang’s shoulder, her breathing gradually slowing down, the blush on her cheeks fading.

The moonlight outside the window seeped in, casting a warm light in the office, outlining the contours of the two of them pressed together.

It extended to the floor, blurring their shadows together.

Just when Le Ya thought it would end like this, she felt a bite on the side of her neck. She subconsciously frowned and let out a soft, slightly coquettish cry.

“Chen Yang, what are you doing?”

A barely visible tooth mark appeared on her fair neck. Chen Yang’s eyes darkened. “Nothing.”

Le Ya was about to tilt her head to look at him, but unexpectedly, Chen Yang buried his head in her neck, gently licking the bitten area.

It was like a tender kiss.

Chen Yang asked, “Let me again...”

Before he could finish speaking, Le Ya in his arms directly bit his chin.
