So Pure, So Flirtatious

Chapter 990: Cooperate with Me

Jing Xiaolu would not be able to hurt his body no matter what. Yang Ming would still be pleased instead if she really gave some any constructive opinions.

“Okay.” Yang Ming nodded. “But I have to warn you that if you bullsh*t and talk nonsense, I will ask Hou Zhenhan to deduct the amount of money I spend from your salary!”

“Don’t worry!” Jing Xiaolu was full of confidence. “I promise you will conquer the beauty.”

Yang Ming nodded and didn’t think much. He really did not know that his threat to Jing Xiaolu was not a threat at all! Jing Xiaolu was here for shopping initially. She wanted to buy with her own money. Now, even if Yang Ming wanted to deduct from her salary, it would only deduct the amount that she spent today.

So, in this way, Jing Xiaolu did not have any loss at all!

Jing Xiaolu bought a small plush toy, and Yang Ming paid the money. However, Yang Ming was helpless. Why is she still buying such toys like a child?

Jing Xiaolu seemed to understand Yang Ming’s thoughts, so she smiled. “It’s a birthday present for a colleague.”

” Oh !” Yang Ming nodded. “Are you okay working there?”

“Of course, okay, hehe !” Jing Xiaolu smiled cunningly. “Now, they all know that I am a lover of the big boss!”

“You are a lover of the big boss?” Yang Ming was shocked. “What do you mean?”

“The big boss is you!” Jing Xiaolu looked at Yang Ming and said.

“Me? What does it have to do with me?” Yang Ming was inexplicable. He really did not understand how he was related to this.

Jing Xiaolu squinted like a little fox. “It was you who arranged for me to get into the company. President Hou took special care of me too. At first, others thought that I was President Hou’s lover. I was a little depressed, so I merely explained that my man is a friend of President Hou. Who knew how rumors just spread like that…”

“Then the man will not be me!” Yang Ming smiled bitterly after listening, but he had to admit that Jing Xiaolu was very good at using her relationships to protect herself, so no one dared to bully her no matter if it were a rumor or real situation.

However, for this kind of harmless joke, Yang Ming would not bother about it. “As long as you do not say my name, it is fine.”

” Ah ! Did you mean you admit that you are my lover?” Jing Xiaolu asked in surprise.

Yang Ming touched his chin, dumbfounded. “When did I admit that I am your lover?”

“You said it yourself. You said as long as I do not mention your name, isn’t that just acknowledging that you are my lover? Otherwise, why should I say your name?” Jing Xiaolu caught Yang Ming’s faulty wording and spoke complacently.

Yang Ming discovered that this girl was not as brainless as he imagined. Perhaps, he only saw her disguise when he first met her in the cafeteria.

After learning about her background from Ge Xinyao, Yang Ming sometimes thought about it. Perhaps, this girl was only rebellious against the matters in the world. She wanted to disguise the vulnerable side of her character by pretending to be a delinquent girl or a cunning girl.

She wanted to vent her lack of love from her family this way.

However, Jing Xiaolu looked very pleasing now. She did not have the vulgarness; she now had a youthful image as a white collar woman. Perhaps this was only her real character.

“Forget it. Let’s not talk about this!” Yang Ming shook his head and stopped the topic from going further. He was afraid that the more he said, the more Jing Xiaolu would want to entangle in this issue.

Hey! I will eventually have you be willing to accept me as your lover! Jing Xiaolu pinched her small fist. There was no odd expression on the surface. “Well, go shopping with me, my big wallet.”

Big wallet? Yang Ming swore in his mind, This name is terrible. He walked toward the exclusive clothing store together with Jing Xiaolu.

“Tell me now. How should I give this present?” Yang Ming had no time to waste with Jing Xiaolu, so he got straight to the point.

“Then you must first tell me who you are giving it to,” said Jing Xiaolu. “You didn’t say who you wanted to give it to. How can I give you suggestions?”

“You don’t know her even if I say it,” replied Yang Ming.

“Then what do you want me to say?” Jing Xiaolu rolled her eyes. “However, you are also a playboy. You have Chen Mengyan and Lin Zhiyun. Why are you still pursuing another girl?”

Yang Ming was so angry that he glared at her. Why does Jing Xiaolu have so much nonsense? “Are you telling me or not? If not, I will leave now. Why do you still bother with my business so much?”

“Just simply asking. Why are you so angry!” Jing Xiaolu snorted. “You are a playboy, yet you do not want others to say it. Aren’t you the guy who deceives himself?”

Deceive myself?! What do I have to do with that!? Yang Ming was getting furious from Jing Xiaolu’s words. He had never lost an argument with others, but he kept being criticized by Jing Xiaolu, so he felt really depressed!

“Don’t talk so much nonsense!” Yang Ming snorted. “Are you telling me or not?”

“Okay, fine. I’ll tell you!” Jing Xiaolu mumbled, “Narrow-minded. Dare to do, but dare not to admit it.”

Yang Ming merely pretended not to hear. If he argued with her, she probably had more replies to him. He simply said, “Then, say it. I am listening.”

” Hehe , are you going to write all of your encounters with the girl on the memory tree after listening to the salesperson?” asked Jing Xiaolu with a smile.

“Yeah, is there any problem?” Yang Ming frowned and looked at Jing Xiaolu. If she didn’t say it seriously, Yang Ming would scold her for being nonsensical.

“Of course, there is a problem!” Jing Xiaolu shook her head and said proudly, “You don’t understand the psychology of a girl. If you write all of them, it is not a good idea.”

“What should I do then?” Yang Ming had doubts, but he still asked humbly.

“There is a kind of love called playing hard to get!” explained Jing Xiaolu. “Meaning that if you have to write, you do not write so much and so detailed!”

“Don’t write so detailed? Do I skip some of them?” asked Yang Ming baffled.

” En , that’s the way!” said Jing Xiaolu. “It’s just like what you said. Pick some of them, and do not write all the important memories on it. Leave a few blank cards and write nothing.”

“Why?” Yang Ming finally couldn’t help but ask.

“Stupid!” Jing Xiaolu scolded coquettishly. “You think about it. If she does not love you, it would be useless even if you wrote more. She will not find anything missing. But if she loves you, she will find that you have written less. If I were her, I would definitely fill in the missing things, and then return them to you, so that we both can understand each other’s intentions…”

Yang Ming was astounded. He couldn’t help but say, “Is that true?”

“Of course!” Jing Xiaolu nodded. “I did not bullsh*t you. Anyway, this is what I think. Since you did not tell me who the person is, then I can only infer through my simulated mentality!”

Yang Ming nodded. Jing Xiaolu’s words are really reasonable. It seems that it is the case . “What if she does not give it back to me?”

“That means you have no chance…” said Jing Xiaolu. “Or, another reason is that she did not find the trick of the memory tree. She just sees it as an ordinary craft and places it on the shelf… This reason is more tragic, but it does exist.”

Indeed, however, Zhao Ying will not be so stupid, right? Anyway, Jing Xiaolu’s statement was still reasonable, so Yang Ming did not trouble her anymore. “Your words make sense. Let’s go. Today, you can buy whatever you want. I will pay.”

“Really? I can buy anything?” Jing Xiaolu did not expect Yang Ming to be so forthright. She thought he would keep troubling her.

“Not if you want to buy a plane or a cannon. At least, it must be possible to buy!” said Yang Ming helplessly. “Are you buying or not?”

“Buy! Let’s go!” Jing Xiaolu held Yang Ming’s arm happily and pulled him forward with excitement. Unsure if she was intentional or not, Jing Xiaolu’s crisp chest was pressed against Yang Ming’s arm, rubbing back and forth. It made Yang Ming feel itchy. D*mn is this little fox trying to seduce me again?

“What are you doing? Let go!” Yang Ming said so, but his heart was a bit reluctant. Who would not want this kind of treatment?

While they were pulling each other, they heard someone call Jing Xiaolu’s name, “Xiaolu!”

Jing Xiaolu looked up, and it was her company colleague, Xiaoru. She was looking at Yang Ming and Jing Xiaolu with interest. ” Hah , Xiaolu. I finally caught your adultery. Hehe , today is a holiday. I wanted to ask you out, but you rejected me. It turns out that you are on a date with your boyfriend!”

Jing Xiaolu was helpless, but she couldn’t be helped. She had a cold a few days ago. She wanted to take a break and get some good sleep, but she didn’t expect to recover after taking some medicine yesterday, so she went out for a stroll. She didn’t expect to be caught by her colleague, Xiaoru.

“D*mn, don’t you have a boyfriend? Why don’t you go shopping with him? You’re envying me instead?” Jing Xiaolu retorted.

“Him? Don’t you know that he is busy every day?!” Xiaoru shook her head. “He always works overtime, and the boss does not even give him leave!”

“But he earns a lot! If not, how can you have an LV bag ¹ with just your salary?” Jing Xiaolu smiled and pointed at the backpack on Xiaoru.

Xiaoru smiled. She was apparently satisfied with her boyfriend. Looking at Yang Ming next to Jing Xiaolu, she wondered. Isn’t Jing Xiaolu’s boyfriend a big boss? How is he a young guy? Isn’t he almost the same age as Jing Xiaolu?

“Xiaolu, can you introduce him?” Xiaoru pointed to Yang Ming.

Jing Xiaolu glanced at Yang Ming and saw his indifferent expression. She whispered, “Cooperate with me!”

“Why?” asked Yang Ming.

” Hehe , I haven’t told you one of the most important matters yet. If you don’t want to listen, never mind then.” Jing Xiaolu threatened. “But if you fail, don’t blame me.”

En? There are still more? Yang Ming still somewhat did not believe in it. But this Jing Xiaolu seems to be tricky. Are there any precautions yet to tell me? Yang Ming did not want to take the risk. After all, Zhao Ying was important in his heart. Besides, if this confession failed again, it would be even more difficult after that. So, after weighing the pros and cons, he could only say, “Whatever, but don’t overdo it.”

Jing Xiaolu showed a smile in her eyebrows. She tightened Yang Ming’s arm and said, “Xiaoru, this is my boyfriend, Yang Ming.”

“Hi, my name is Xiaoru.” Xiaoru smiled and nodded to Yang Ming. “I am a good sister of Xiaolu. Later, you have to treat us for lunch!”

Since Yang Ming promised Jing Xiaolu to cooperate with her, he smiled and nodded, “Okay, no problem.”

” Hah , Xiaoru, your boyfriend is so forthright!” Luan Xiaoru said with a smile, “Yang Ming, is it? May I know where you are working?”

Luan Xiaoru wanted to know if the rumors in the company were true, so she began to explore the details of Yang Ming.

” Hehe , I can’t say that I’m working. I am just a student, and I am in school with Xiaolu.” Yang Ming said with a smile. “Xiaolu is out for work only during the holiday.”

” Oh , so you are a university student!” Luan Xiaoru was stunned, and she spoke without revealing her expression. However, she was puzzled. Are the company’s rumors all fake? Were they fabricated by Jing Xiaolu?

Although the relationship between Xiao Xiaoru and Jing Xiaolu was great, when Jing Xiaolu first arrived at the company, Luan Xiaoru herself could not deny that she wanted to get close to Jing Xiaolu because she heard that Jing Xiaolu’s boyfriend and the company’s President Hou were good friends. Therefore, she wanted to see if there was an opportunity for promotion through this relationship.

So now, she was a bit disappointed. It seems that rumors are just rumors! They can’t be real. I just don’t quite understand why President Hou is so good to Jing Xiaolu. Is he tempted by Jing Xiaolu’s beauty?

It was undeniable that Jing Xiaolu was very outstanding in the company. A few colleagues pursued her at the start, but later, when they heard that her boyfriend was a friend of President Hou, they all gave up.

Who wanted to be fired by the company? Rumors said that the current boss was very stingy. On the Internet, an employee stole the boss’ QQ Farm’s food, so he was fired by the boss. Therefore, no one dared to offend the boss so that they would not end up in a tragedy.

However, Xiaorui was not a snobbish person. Although she knew that Jing Xiaolu’s boyfriend was not a big boss, she did not ignore him. Her previous thoughts were understandable. Anyone would have such similar ideas. Her friendship with Jing Xiaolu was not just because of this, but their desks were adjacent to each other, so they were usually together.

Yang Ming patiently accompanied Jing Xiaolu and Luan Xiaoru to visit all the shops on the business street. The most annoying thing was that this Jing Xiaolu kept trying on new clothes again and again.

Yang Ming was so angry. You are not spending your own money anyway. Now I am paying for you, can’t you just buy all of them? You can try them out at home. Now you are just wasting time…

In the end, Jing Xiaolu bought only four or five pieces of clothing; Xiao Xiaoru bought a lot instead. She purchased more than ten pieces. This time, Yan Xiaoru also truly confirmed her thoughts that Yang Ming was just an ordinary college student, not a big boss.

“Xiaolu, it is noon already. Shouldn’t you two be responsible for arranging it?” After shopping, Luan Xiaoru asked with a smile. She didn’t want to scam Yang Ming, but she was very familiar with Jing Xiaolu. It was normal for her boyfriend to treat her. She did not mind eating something else.

“Okay, Xiaoru, what do you want to eat? Don’t be polite with him!” Jing Xiaolu looked at Yang Ming and felt amused. This guy is always savvy in other aspects, but how is he so stupid when it comes to relationship problems? He is following me like my underling. Hehe, I, Jing Xiaolu, have such an achievement finally. If Sister Xinyao knows about it, then I will be proud!

” Hehe , I want to go to Tavern Heaven on Earth to eat seafood!” said Luan Xiaoru with a smile, “How about it? Is that okay?”

“Xiaoru, you really dare to ask for it?!” Jing Xiaolu knew Yang Ming’s economic capabilities very well, so she was not worried. She said with laughter, “Let’s go then!”

“I am just joking.” When Luan Xiaoru saw Jing Xiaolu taking it seriously, she quickly waved her hand and said, “It is okay to find a restaurant nearby!”

Luan Xiaoru had only been to Tavern Heaven on Earth twice. The first time was when meeting her boyfriend’s parents; the second time was during the company’s Chinese New Year’s dinner. However, at that time, Jing Xiaolu had not come to work.

Luan Xiaoru did not know how much money the company spent, but she heard that President Hou and the Tavern Heaven on Earth’s CEO were very familiar. However, her boyfriend spent more than ten thousand yuan when eating with his parents.

“It doesn’t matter, Xiaoru,” Jing Xiaolu waved her hand. “Don’t have to save money for him!”

“This…” Xiaorui thought that Jing Xiaolu wanted to show off, so she quickly waved. “Forget it, Xiaolu. Tavern Heaven on Earth is far from here and now is lunch time. Even if we go, we might not get a seat.”

“Won’t you know if there are any seats after you reach there?” Yang Ming smiled and said, “Let’s go. I have a car. We don’t have to take a taxi.”

He has a car? Luan Xiaoru was astounded. She did not expect Jing Xiaolu’s boyfriend actually to have a car. However, her boyfriend also had a car. It was not unusual to have a private car nowadays. A low-emission vehicle was very cheap, around a few ten thousand yuan. It was only a tool for transportation.

When Luan Xiaoru saw that Yang Ming spoke, she stopped talking about it. Besides, it would seem like she was pretending if she said more. Therefore, they went to the parking lot of business street.

Jing Xiaolu had never taken a ride in Yang Ming’s car, so she stayed behind Yang Ming until he stopped in front of a BMW X5 and pressed the remote control lock. Jing Xiaolu only then knew that this was Yang Ming’s car.

As for Luan Xiaoru, her face suddenly appeared amazed! She knew this BMW X5. It was about seventy to eighty thousand yuan. Never mind a student; even an office worker might not be able to afford it.

Looking at the license plate again, Xiaoru was even more shocked. This car plate probably needed a lot of money to get. The key was that ordinary people might not be able to buy it. Luan Xiaoru was baffled by Yang Ming’s words. Is he just a student?

Luan Xiaoru’s surprised expression naturally was seen by Jing Xiaolu’s eyes. Jing Xiaolu was proud of herself. Her previous rumor might become a fact after Luan Xiaoru spread it in the company tomorrow.

After getting in the car, Luan Xiaorui couldn’t help but ask, “Xiaolu, is your boyfriend lying? How can he be a student? Would a student drive such a good car?”

“He is a student without a doubt, but he is also running a business!” explained Jing Xiaolu. She didn’t know much about Yang Ming’s affairs, but she still knew some of it. She could only pretend to be very familiar with it and introduce it briefly.

“It turned out to be like this!” Luan Xiaoru nodded. She looked at Yang Ming in an ambiguous manner. “Yang Ming, you are really bad. You actually hid something from me. Tell me what company you are operating.”

” Hehe , just a small jewelry company,” said Yang Ming with a smile. “My first identity is a student. These are all sideline businesses. I have said that Xiaolu is also working only during the holidays. Hehe .”

Seeing that Yang Ming did not want to say more, Luan Xiaoru could no longer ask. They only met today for the first time, after all. If Yang Ming did not want to say, it was inappropriate for her to ask in detail. However, she was certain about one thing. Yang Ming was definitely more than just a student. It seems that the rumors in the company are also true.

The car headed in the direction of Tavern Heaven on Earth. After the second renovation of the Tavern Heaven on Earth, it’s standard was significantly higher than the previous one. It had become one of the most upscale hotels in Song Jiang, so it was hard to find a place during lunchtime.

Yang Ming parked the car in the parking lot of Tavern Heaven on Earth. A security guard with keen eyes saw Yang Ming’s car and immediately ran over. He guided Yang Ming to the parking space, and respectfully opened the door. “Brother Yang, you came!”

Yang Ming nodded and smiled a little. He didn’t say anything, but Luan Xiaoru looked at Yang Ming with a deep impression. Although the security guard’s greeting might not mean anything, at least, it meant that Yang Ming was a frequent visitor here. Otherwise, the security guard would not know him.

After entering the hall of Tavern Heaven on Earth, Luan Xiaoru felt that Yang Ming was not ordinary. The lobby manager personally ran to welcome him. The manager’s respectful expression meant that Yang Ming was not just a customer, but he was more like her boss. “Mr. Yang, you are here. I will inform President Guo to come down…”

“No need.” Yang Ming waved his hand and said, “You don’t have to bother with him. We are just here to eat lunch.”

“But…” The lobby manager was in a dilemma. President Guo had informed her that if Mr. Yang came, she must notify him immediately. However, Mr. Yang didn’t want her to tell him. This was a little difficult for her…

Luan Xiaorui was even more shocked. What is the identity of Yang Ming? The Tavern Heaven on Earth’s CEO actually has to meet him personally?
