326: He liked Qin Yan's type

He liked Qin Yan's type

"Personal Assistant Tong."

Just as all these thoughts were messing with his head, Tong Chunian heard a sweet voice by his ear.

He turned around and saw that Qin Yan was standing right before him. Instinctively, he turned towards the elevator lobby again, only to see Nie Mianmian enter the elevator.

"L-Lady boss, you're here," Tong Chunian was caught in a fix. What was he to do now? Miss Nie had already gone upstairs.

"Mm. I'm sorry, Personal Assistant Tong, that you had to wait so long here."

"It's alright, Lady boss. I only came down a while ago," Tong Chunian was thinking hard about whether to tell Qin Yan that Nie Mianmian had just gone upstairs.

He was still deliberating over it when a fair hand appeared before him. A bag hung at the fingertips, "Personal Assistant Tong, this is for you. I'm not sure which flavor you like, so I just got the one I like best."

"Lady boss, this is…" Tong Chunian was a little confused.

Qin Yan smiled, and her eyes did the same, "Cake. There was a queue, so I had to wait for a bit. This bakery isn't very famous, but their cakes are really good."

"Oh, right. Personal Assistant Tong, do you like cake? If you don't…"

"I do," Tong Chunian quickly took the bag. He could feel his heart racing as he looked at the pretty little face and her smiley eyes.

He stammered, "T-Thank you, Lady boss."

Damn, Lady boss is too pretty when she smiled. Too, too sweet. Even he felt like he was in love when he saw that smile. And he had never been in love before…

But now, he suddenly felt like he wanted a girlfriend like Lady boss. A girl who looked cute as well as gorgeous with a sweet voice.

Anyone who saw her would just want to love her, dote on her, and give her all the best things in the world. He decided to take back all his immature thoughts just now.

Family background, childhood sweethearts…Those didn't count for anything.

Now he finally understood why emperors of the past could make the silliest mistakes and most absurd decisions when they were with a beauty.

These beauties were really worthy of all the love possible. And they really managed to entrance people, such that they'd make irrational decisions.

Miss Nie was pretty, but it was a different type from Lady boss. As a man, he preferred Lady boss's type.

Miss Nie's sort of beauty was elegant and classy. She was more like a work of art to be admired from a distance.

But Lady boss's beauty easily captured the hearts of men. She evoked love from people and made them want to own her.

"Lady boss, do you have any sisters? Mm… one with your personality and looks like you?" Tong Chunian suddenly asked. If heard by Chairman Xi, it would probably cost his life.

His head cleared up right after.

Before Qin Yan responded, he quickly said, "Lady boss, I was just casually asking, don't take me seriously."

Qin Yan blinked. "Personal Assistant Tong, you're…"

"Uh, Lady boss, I was just casually asking. Please ignore me."

Tong Chunian already made a mistake, he couldn't make another now. Seeing how curious Qin Yan looked, he hurriedly changed the topic, "We'd better go up first. Chairman Xi is still in a meeting, and he'll take another hour or so."

Qin Yan shifted her attention right away too and forgot about his question. She nodded and casually said, "Sure."

Tong Chunian led her to the elevator.

The 37th level.

The elevator doors opened. Tong Chunian watched as Qin Yan walked out and seemed to want to say something.

"Personal Assistant Tong, do you have something to say to me?" Qin Yan looked at his expression and stopped in her tracks.

"Uh, Lady boss…"

Tong Chunian glanced at Xi Ting's office and hesitated for a moment. He said it, anyway. "Miss Nie just came, and she's now… in Chairman Xi's office."

Qin Yan would see it for herself if he didn't tell her now. It was better to just let her prepare for it first. Otherwise, she might get a shock when she saw Nie Mianmian later.

"You said Nie Mianmian's here?" Qin Yan suddenly recalled the familiar figure she saw downstairs.

She hadn't realized who it was then, but she did now. It was none other than Nie Mianmian.

"Mm," Tong Chunian looked at her expression cautiously and heaved a sigh of relief when he saw that she didn't seem to mind, "Miss Nie said that she had a misunderstanding with Chairman Xi, so she's here to talk to him about it."

"I told her that Chairman Xi is very busy today and probably won't have the time, but she insisted on waiting…"

Tong Chunian seemed to be caught in a fix. "She's Chairman Xi's friend, and she used to come often to look for him too. Chairman Xi didn't say anything about it, so…"

So, he didn't think it was right to stop her from entering. If it was some stranger, he would surely stop them. But Nie Mianmian was different. Unless Chairman Xi personally instructed him to stop her, he wasn't in any position to do that.

"I understand," Qin Yan turned around and glanced towards the Chairman's office. She smiled and said, "Miss Nie and Ah Ting are old friends. Of course, she can come and look for him."

"Then, Lady boss, you…"

Qin Yan smiled even wider now, and her voice was calmer, "Since Ah Ting isn't around, as his partner, I've got to be hospitable to Miss Nie on his behalf."

In the past, she didn't really mind that Nie Mianmian had some interest in Xi Ting. She felt that it was normal. After all, Xi Ting was a very outstanding man. It wasn't surprising to fall for him, especially if he was so close by.

There was nothing wrong with having a crush on someone. As long as that person maintained the distance and did not cause problems for the other party. But things were different now.

Qin Yan knew that Nie Mianmian wouldn't silently have a crush on Xi Ting. Nie Mianmian treated her like an enemy. She was full of indignance whenever she spoke to her. She also attempted to harm her many times. There was no way she could ignore Nie Mianmian's presence anymore.

When Qin Yan pushed open the door and entered, the few secretaries outside were discussing.

"Do you guys think Miss Nie already knows about Chairman Xi's girlfriend? What will she feel when she sees Miss Qin later?"

"I'm more curious about whether Miss Qin knows that Miss Nie likes Chairman Xi."

"I feel like things are going to get exciting."

Inside the Chairman's office.

Qin Yan entered and saw Nie Mianmian standing at the desk, looking down at something. She seemed engrossed. She didn't even realize that someone had entered the room.

Qin Yan took a few steps in and called out, "Miss Nie."

Nie Mianmian stiffened for a moment and then turned around slowly. Seeing Qin Yan standing there, she furrowed her brows and asked, "Miss Qin, what are you doing here?"

"Ha," Qin Yan walked towards her and smiled, "Miss Nie, I should be asking you this. This is my boyfriend's company, isn't it normal that I'm spending my time here?"

"As for Miss Nie…"

Since she knew that she and Nie Mianmian could never be friends, Qin Yan didn't see a need to maintain false civility with her, "I wonder why you're here."

"Xi Ting is rather busy now and doesn't have the time to meet you. Why don't you tell me about it? I'll help you relay the message when his meeting is over."

Nie Mianmian's expression had already darkened when she heard the Qin Yan say the word "boyfriend."0

By the time Qin Yan was done talking, Nie Mianmian's expression was awful, "Miss Qin, whatever I have to say to Ah Ting, I will say to him personally. Whether he has time to meet me or not isn't decided by you. Do you really think that you have the right to decide for him just because you are his girlfriend?"

"You think that your position is secure? Miss Qin, don't be too smug. Do you think you'd ever be able to marry into the Xi family given your background?"

"Ah Ting's grandma and mom are both well-to-do misses from powerful families. I'm telling you now, don't assume that Grandma Xi really likes you just because she's being nice to you now. Everyone who comes from a huge and powerful household will surely consider your background. If Grandma Xi and Madam Xi like a girl, Brother Ah Ting will eventually like her too. By then, do you really think you'll be able to stay by Brother Ah Ting's side?"

Qin Yan was very calm even after hearing all of it. She even found it amusing. So, this was all Nie Mianmian had got to upset her?
