Chapter 298: Chapter 295: Green Tea Delivered to the Door

Liu Xinyue looked at the girl in front of her and nodded lightly. "And you are...?"

As a competent receptionist, she knew how to read people, which helped her avoid making mistakes when dealing with visitors.

And Wang Ming was Director Li’s son, as well as the boss’s good friend. Furthermore, Director Li was the boss’s godmother. This web of connections meant Wang Ming was no ordinary employee.

"I’m his classmate," Zhang Yuanyuan said, pursing her lips as she glanced toward the main office area inside.

She was a little pretty, wearing a puffy white down jacket and carrying two cups of milk tea. It seemed her relationship with Wang Ming was anything but simple.

Normally, a mere classmate or friend wouldn’t come all the way to the office to find someone.

’Is she his girlfriend?’

At this thought, a smile slowly formed on Liu Xinyue’s face. "Should I get him for you?"

Zhang Yuanyuan first nodded, then shook her head slightly. "No, no, I shouldn’t interrupt his work. But, Sister... could you help me give this cup of milk tea to him?"

"I can do that."

A happy expression bloomed on Zhang Yuanyuan’s face. "Thank you."

"You’re welcome."

As Liu Xinyue carried the milk tea to Wang Ming’s desk, Zhang Yuanyuan cautiously peered over. In the back row, by the window, she could see a figure obscured by a computer monitor.

’Looks like he really wasn’t lying,’ Zhang Yuanyuan mused to herself.

"Mr. Wang Ming, a girl asked me to give this to you," Liu Xinyue said.

Wang Ming started, his heart pounding nervously. He reflexively looked up toward the entrance, only to see a flash of a white figure disappear.

He looked down at the milk tea, wondering if he had been too harsh with her.

’But for Shen Ying’s sake, I can’t accept this. I have to keep my distance.’

"Sister Liu, please give this back to her. And if she comes again, just tell her I’m not here."

Liu Xinyue was slightly surprised. ’Aren’t those two a couple?’

"Okay."

She picked up the milk tea again and walked back. Seeing Zhang Yuanyuan still waiting at the front desk, her tone became much more neutral. "Mr. Wang Ming doesn’t want it."

Zhang Yuanyuan’s expression froze. She took back the milk tea and asked hesitantly, "Sister, can you please call him out for me?"

"Mr. Wang Ming has a seminar starting soon. He’s not free right now," Liu Xinyue refused flatly.

"Alright."

Zhang Yuanyuan’s expression darkened. She pulled open the glass door and stepped out, but she didn’t leave. Instead, she stood waiting in the hallway.

She had a keen sense that Wang Ming might be avoiding her. But just last night, he had rushed out so late, worried about her being drunk and alone outside. Today, he was as cold as ice, like a completely different person.

’Is it because he likes someone else?’

’I mean, I almost gave him my body. Even if Wang Ming is a perfect gentleman, there should at least be some ambiguity between us, right?’

’Are there really men in this world who don’t cheat?’

She didn’t believe it. At least, she didn’t believe it of Wang Ming.

Otherwise, why would he hide it from his girlfriend on New Year’s Eve and take another drunk girl to a hotel room?

Thinking of this, she took out her phone and sent him a message.

[Zhang Yuanyuan]: Senior Brother Ming, I’m sorry. I didn’t know you already liked someone. I really didn’t mean for last night to happen. If I caused a misunderstanding with your girlfriend, can I explain it to her? I really don’t want you two to fight because of me.

Seeing the new message, Wang Ming was completely confused.

[Wang Ming]: What are you talking about? I don’t have a girlfriend.

[Zhang Yuanyuan]: Huh?!!!!!! But yesterday you said...

She instantly understood. ’So he just has a crush on someone?’ she thought, overjoyed. ’Seducing a guy like this is way easier than stealing someone else’s man.’

[Wang Ming]: This doesn’t have anything to do with you, does it?

[Zhang Yuanyuan]: No, no, Senior Brother Ming, you’ve misunderstood. If you don’t mind, I can help you pursue her! The girl Senior Brother Ming likes must be amazing. I’m so jealous of her.

Wang Ming frowned slightly. He felt there was something odd about her words, but he couldn’t quite put his finger on it. Zhang Yuanyuan’s apology was so sincere that he couldn’t find any fault with it.

[Wang Ming]: No need.

[Zhang Yuanyuan]: But Senior Brother Ming is so wonderful, and she doesn’t even know how to cherish you. You must be so upset, Senior Brother Ming. My heart aches for you. Sigh, why haven’t I ever met a boyfriend as great as you? If only I had met you sooner.

[Wang Ming]: You will.

[Zhang Yuanyuan]: Really? If I had a boyfriend like you, Senior Brother Ming, I would dote on him completely. I’d never let him be sad or upset. I’d cherish him for a lifetime.

Wang Ming found himself getting embarrassed by her words. ’Am I really that great?’

[Wang Ming]: I’m sorry, but I already like someone.

[Zhang Yuanyuan]: I know~ That’s why I’m backing off, hehe. So, Senior Brother Ming, can we be friends? Just regular friends! If you have any relationship troubles in the future, you can always talk to me. I’m a girl, after all, so I understand girls pretty well.

Reading her messages, Wang Ming realized it was the first time he’d ever felt so liked by a pretty girl. The feeling was surprisingly good.

’Sigh, why couldn’t she be Shen Ying?’

If she were, he wouldn’t even have to think about it. He’d be so happy he’d jump up and hit the ceiling on the spot.

[Wang Ming]: If it’s just as friends, then okay.

A slight smile touched the corners of Zhang Yuanyuan’s lips. ’Isn’t the fish taking the bait?’

[Zhang Yuanyuan]: Then I won’t bother your work for now, Senior Brother Ming. You have to keep up the good work! I’m heading back to school~

[Wang Ming]: Okay.

Wang Ming breathed a sigh of relief. ’The emotional crisis is over. There shouldn’t be any problem just being regular friends with Zhang Yuanyuan, right?’

Zhang Yuanyuan also breathed a sigh of relief. She peeked at Wang Ming a few times through the glass door, her mind already scheming how to get closer to him.

After thinking it over, she decided to keep waiting there for Wang Ming to get off work.

After all, she’d already told him she was going back to school. When he saw that she had actually been waiting here for him, he would definitely be touched. Maybe he’d even ask her to dinner.

A few minutes later, Jiang Xia came out of the adjacent Slam Dunk project department and saw a girl in the hallway repeatedly peering into the office.

Zhang Yuanyuan noticed him too, of course. As Jiang Xia walked over, her eyes lit up, and she thought to herself, ’Wow, he’s handsome.’

Jiang Xia pushed open the glass door, walked to the front desk, and asked casually, "Sister Liu, who’s that girl outside?"

"I don’t know, but it seems she’s here for Mr. Wang Ming. She had me take a cup of milk tea to him just now, but he didn’t accept it."

’Looking for Wang Ming?’

Jiang Xia frowned slightly. He looked back at the girl and felt she looked familiar, as if he had seen her somewhere before.

Suddenly, it clicked. A face flashed through his mind.

Holy shit!

’Isn’t this the green tea bitch from my past life who dumped Old Wang and ran off with her sugar daddy?’

’How did she find her way here!?’

Jiang Xia narrowed his eyes. ’Well, well. I was just wondering how I was going to deal with her, and here she is, serving herself up on a platter.’
