The next day.
Ye Guilan woke up with a splitting headache, realizing she was still alive. However, spending the night on the floor was far from pleasant.
Sigh, those old folks were really ruthless. If they couldn’t help her up, at least they could have covered her with a blanket. Ye Guilan crawled to the coffee table, parched and desperate for water. As she took a sip, she saw a man walking out of the room.
“Pfft—”
She spat out the water, fully awake now. She jumped up and examined Yin Yanhe from head to toe several times, confirming that she wasn’t seeing things. She looked left and right, then excl Love and Hate med, “Ah! This isn’t my home!”
Ye Guilan pointed at the house, stammering, “W-What is this place?!”
Yin Yanhe couldn’t be bothered to answer. He walked str Love and Hate ght to the entrance, opened the door, and s Love and Hate d, “No need to see you out. Goodbye.”
It suddenly clicked for Ye Guilan; this was indeed the entrance to her boss's house! But w Love and Hate t, after signing the contract last night, she had clearly taken a taxi home—how did she end up here?! She tried to recall the events; she had gotten into the car, and when the driver asked where she lived, she was about to respond when she threw up and then felt dizzy… W Love and Hate t! That driver… didn’t he look like… her boss?
Cold sweat broke out on Ye Guilan’s forehead as alarm bells rang in her mind. Had she gotten into the wrong car?
With a tragic expression, Ye Guilan looked at Yin Yanhe and noticed he was only wearing a bathrobe, his upper body partially visible. Instinctively, she glanced at herself; her shirt was wrinkled beyond recognition, her skirt was torn, and it seemed even her bra wasn’t fastened properly…
A bolt of lightning seemed to strike her as she hugged herself tightly and trembled, asking, “You… I… We…”
Before she could finish her sentence, a voice suddenly came from outside: “Ignoring your calls? Turns out you were fooling around with your secretary.”
Ye Guilan looked up at the sound and nearly fainted.
At that moment, Jiang Hao swaggered in. Upon seeing the scene before him, he was momentarily taken aback, then burst into laughter. "Oh, Yin Yanhe, are you hiding a beauty in your golden house?"
Yin Yanhe shot Jiang Hao a glare and ignored him, turning to Ye Guilan instead. "You should go change your clothes."
With her face flushed and head down, Ye Guilan hurried into the room.
After laughing enough, Jiang Hao turned to Yin Yanhe and said, "I'm here to remind you not to forget about the gathering this weekend. The chairwoman is quite serious about it, so you better be prepared."
Jiang Hao whistled as he left, leaving Ye Guilan confused. After changing her clothes, she stepped out and was about to ask what was going on when Yin Yanhe shot her a warning look, causing her to quickly say, "I... I’ll leave now!"
"Wait a moment."
Yin Yanhe stepped forward to block her path, his gaze meaningful as he said, "Miss Ye, I remember you don’t have a boyfriend, do you?"
Ye Guilan felt uneasy under his intense stare and nervously asked, "What... what do you want?"
Yin Yanhe closed the door behind him and replied, "I want to discuss something with you."
Ye Guilan didn’t wait for Guiwen to return; the weekend had already arrived.
"General Yin, are you sure it's okay for me to dress like this?"
Ye Guilan stood in front of the fitting mirror, examining herself with a mix of doubt and disbelief. The pastel-colored lady's outfit already looked odd on her, and to make matters worse, it was so small that her arms were squeezed tightly, and she couldn't even bend her back. The worst part was the skirt; she could only take tiny half-steps in it. Ye Guilan couldn't help but ask, "Is this really the largest size in the store?"
Yin Yanhe glanced at her and then turned away, unconvincingly saying, "It looks great; the Chairman will like it."
"Oh."
Mentioning the Chairman made Ye Guilan a bit anxious. Her boss had said he wanted her to attend a private dinner with the Chairman as his girlfriend. Initially, Ye Guilan thought her boss was using a fake girlfriend to cover up his relationship with the General Manager to avoid raising any suspicions with the Chairman.
At first, she believed that Yin Yanhe was bringing her along to serve as a cover for his relationship with the General Manager. But then she pondered that the General Manager was actually the Chairman's son, so it made sense for Yin Yanhe to bring a girlfriend along. Besides, she had once threatened her boss with this situation; wasn't he afraid she'd spill the beans?
It wasn't until they arrived at the restaurant that evening that Ye Guilan suddenly realized both men had clearly come prepared. Manager Jiang had also brought a girl with him; although it seemed somewhat forced, he looked quite compatible standing next to the beautiful woman, and the Chairman was laughing heartily.
However, when the Chairman turned around and saw Ye Guilan walking in arm-in-arm with Yin Yanhe, his smile abruptly froze on his face. Yet Yin Yanhe appeared oblivious to this shift and simply introduced her to everyone, saying, "Ye Guilan, my girlfriend."
"..." The room fell into silence.
