The days of happiness are always short, and time flies by. It is already the third day of the Lunar New Year, and Qin Chuan has to embark on his journey again.
After bidding farewell to his reluctant family and friends, Qin Chuan, along with Zheng Chengdao and Qin Erge, headed straight for Longcheng.
The first stop, of course, was the Xiaomi factory.
At the Xiaomi factory, upon seeing Qin Chuan's return, all the employees were extremely excited. Fang Rumei personally rushed downstairs to welcome him.
Sitting in the boss's chair in the office, Qin Chuan briefly inquired about the factory's current situation and then said to Fang Rumei, "Let's organize a dinner tonight, everyone get together!"
"Get together? Who do you want me to invite? If you don't give me names, how will I know?"
Fang Rumei looked very confused.
Qin Chuan looked up and gritted his teeth, "You're doing this on purpose, aren't you?"
"Hee hee!!"
Fang Rumei couldn't help but laugh. Of course, she knew the ultimate meaning of "get together." She then asked with a gossip-filled expression, "Hey, what's your relationship with Xiao Mo really like now?"
"Let me tell you, for this, Xiao Mo scolded me severely during the New Year!"
"'You're forgetting righteousness for profit, selling out a friend for you, and ruining all our years of trust!'"
Upon hearing this, Qin Chuan immediately stood up, clasped his hands together, and bowed repeatedly, "My dear Sister Mei, you have truly suffered for my younger brother's happiness!"
"Great kindness is beyond words. If you ever need anything in the future, just ask, and your little brother will go through fire and water without hesitation!"
Fang Rumei was very pleased with Qin Chuan's words and nodded with a smile, "Then I'll remember your words. If I ever really need your help, you can't refuse!"
Qin Chuan promised, "Absolutely! Absolutely!"
That evening, in a private room of a high-end restaurant in Longcheng, the seats were full, and almost all the faces were familiar.
Qin Chuan, Fang Rumei, Huang Qi, Lü Xiaoshu, Ma Wenbo, Yang Zimo, An Nuo... and many newly acquainted second-generation heirs.
Unbeknownst to anyone, it was arranged intentionally that Qin Chuan was seated next to Yang Zimo, Teacher Yang.
Compared to others, Teacher Yang's elegant and refined fairy-like demeanor was so dazzling and outstanding, even among a crowd of beauties.
There was not a single flaw in her temperament, appearance, or figure.
Seeing Qin Chuan and Yang Zimo sitting together, Qin Chuan immediately became the collective target of all the male attendees.
Yang Zimo's status in this small circle was absolutely unshakeable. Many of them had harbored other thoughts about her, directly or indirectly. It was unavoidable; Yang Zimo was truly everyone's goddess, her temperament and looks having been beautiful since childhood.
It was hard not to feel a little unhappy when such a pure and beautiful gem was quietly "devoured" by an outsider like Qin Chuan.
In previous gatherings, Yang Zimo was not present, which limited how some people could express themselves. This time, with Yang Zimo finally present, Qin Chuan was subjected to group attacks during the meal.
Besides plying him with drinks, they also asked Qin Chuan to explain what kind of schemes and tricks he used to win over Teacher Yang.
They wanted to learn from him!
Facing their gossip-filled gazes, Qin Chuan glanced at Teacher Yang beside him and grinned, "Perhaps it's because of my talent!"
"Ugh!!"
As expected, before he even finished speaking, a chorus of boos erupted. Some people even threw paper napkins at Qin Chuan, and Yang Zimo rolled her eyes.
"Thick-skinned! That's better, isn't it!!"
Qin Chuan shouted.
This finally satisfied everyone. Many people sighed in frustration, thinking that if being thick-skinned could win them the goddess of their hearts, they should have acted sooner.
"Kiss! Kiss!!"
Someone shouted, and the atmosphere in the entire private room was instantly ignited. Many people joined in the uproar, chanting for Qin Chuan and Teacher Yang to kiss.
This startled Qin Chuan so much that his face turned pale. He quickly cast a pleading look towards Fang Rumei and An Nuo, who were sitting not far away.
Others might not understand the situation, but these two good girlfriends knew best. Teacher Yang had not forgiven him yet, how could Qin Chuan dare?
Unexpectedly, Fang Rumei and An Nuo, these fake best friends, after receiving Qin Chuan's plea for help, exchanged glances. Not only did they not help, but they also joined in clapping and shouting that they must kiss.
Cold sweat began to bead on Qin Chuan's forehead. He timidly looked at Teacher Yang beside him and whispered, "Xiao Mo, quickly! Show your boss's dignity and deter these scoundrels!"
"They are clearly doing this on purpose, we absolutely cannot let them succeed... Woo!!"
Before Qin Chuan could finish speaking, he suddenly widened his eyes, as if struck by lightning, and sat there motionless.
Yang Zimo, who had been as calm as a virgin, suddenly turned around upon hearing his words, threw her arms around his neck, and kissed him with her sexy red lips.
The long-lost and familiar moistness from her lips instantly made Qin Chuan's mind go blank, his blood turning to ice.
In his unfocused pupils, a pair of beautiful, melancholic eyes filled with complex emotions gradually appeared. The two of them stared at each other, less than an inch apart.
Qin Chuan could clearly feel Yang Zimo's love and resentment towards him. All he felt was guilt and heartache.
It was all his fault; he had personally plunged all the beauty into the abyss, leading to the current situation.
Suddenly, a burst of excited exclamations erupted from the surroundings, causing Yang Zimo to release Qin Chuan and return to her seat, her delicate fair face flushed with two alluring rosy hues.
Qin Chuan, on the other hand, licked his lips, with a look of lingering taste.
"Everyone, are you satisfied now? The kiss from your goddess is truly fragrant!"
"You can all rest assured, your goddess will be taken care of by me from now on. I promise to pamper her and make her my happy little woman for a lifetime!"
Qin Chuan raised his wine glass, his words filled with heroic spirit. At this moment, his heart was pounding with excitement.
Yang Zimo's sudden kiss was undoubtedly the most powerful stimulant for their current relationship, making his heart beat wildly.
"Qin Chuan is my boyfriend, and he will be the son-in-law of the Yang family in the future. None of you are allowed to bully him, do you hear me?"
Yang Zimo said at this moment.
"Oh my, they're not even married yet, and she's already defending her man. As expected of our ever-reliable boss lady, awesome!"
Lü Xiaoshu teased.
"Since the boss lady has spoken, we must definitely protect our new member!"
Ma Wenbo added, "Don't you all agree!"
A burst of enthusiastic applause filled the private room as everyone cheered, welcoming the addition of the new member.
Seeing that Yang Zimo seemed to have truly reconciled with Qin Chuan, a hint of loss flashed in the depths of Fang Rumei's eyes, but this loss quickly disappeared without a trace.
"Qin Chuan, you see how our Xiao Mo treats you. If you dare to make her sad again in the future, none of us will let you off!"
An Nuo stood up and said to Qin Chuan.
The meaning of this sentence was difficult for outsiders to grasp, but Qin Chuan understood that it was An Nuo's warning. He immediately stood up and declared, "Please rest assured, everyone. I will treat Xiao Mo well for the rest of my life and love her forever!"
As he said this, Qin Chuan looked into Yang Zimo's eyes. From her pitch-black pupils, he saw a deep affection and tenderness.
Yang Zimo wanted to hold back her tears, but her eyes quickly became moist. Such sweet words were truly impactful. She quickly turned her head and wiped away a tear from the corner of her eye.
"Oh my, our boss lady is actually moved to tears!"
"Qin Chuan, you brat, you really need to take good care of our goddess. If you make her suffer any grievances, we absolutely won't let you off!"
