Cohabitation With The Maniacally Gorgeous CEO - Chapter 9
Chapter 9
This was the first time An Yiqing had heard a compliment from this mouth.
It felt very strange.
Holding the coffee cup, An Yiqing rubbed the pattern on the cup with her thumb, her gaze sliding to the person opposite her.
Xu Lingyin was wearing a suit. The well-tailored suit outlined her perfect figure.
Her long curly hair fell over her chest, softening her sharp and dominant aura.
Her head was slightly lowered, and she was eating seriously.
She was just as slow as always, scooping a spoonful of rice and chewing for a long time.
As the food in her mouth was finally swallowed, she held the spoon, ready to scoop rice, but her movement stopped at the bowl: “Didn’t I say not to stare at me?”
The clear voice sounded at the right time, becoming domineering as soon as she spoke.
She still had her head down, but her imposing manner was undiminished.
An Yiqing’s gaze shifted. She picked up the coffee cup and took a sip as if unintentionally.
Her peripheral vision still refused to look away.
Xu Lingyin’s face was even more beautiful than the fairy on the poster.
Her facial features were especially delicate, moderate in size, and combined, they were like an exquisite little poem.
It was a look that one would never forget at first sight, so it was normal for people to be infatuated with her.
For some unknown reason, An Yiqing felt a bit bitter in her mouth.
She frowned slightly, put down the cup, and stopped drinking.
Xu Lingyin happened to finish eating, put down her spoon, and tore off a tissue to wipe her mouth.
Her foxy eyes blinked, and the corners of her eyes showed contentment.
She looked like she had enjoyed the meal.
An Yiqing reached out and quietly tidied up the meal containers.
“Don’t like coffee?” Xu Lingyin asked.
An Yiqing hummed: “It’s too bitter.”
Her gaze swept over the coffee cup, and Xu Lingyin didn’t speak.
She drank her coffee without sugar and was used to it.
The assistant probably didn’t put sugar in this cup.
After cleaning up, An Yiqing was ready to leave. She stood up and walked out.
Xu Lingyin stopped her.
Overtime was almost over, and Xu Lingyin wanted to go back with her.
Yu Sirou had driven her car away, so she would hitch a ride.
An Yiqing sat down again, took out her phone, and scrolled through messages.
Ye Qian’ge asked how she felt about the new place.
Pretty good
After replying, she added a sentence on a whim.
The landlord is very beautiful
Ye Qian’ge: ?
Ye Qian’ge’s call came through instantly.
An Yiqing quickly muted it.
Just then, Xu Lingyin’s assistant came in to deliver documents.
Walking to the desk, the assistant smiled at An Yiqing, then reported her work to the boss.
This involved commercial secrets, so it was not appropriate for An Yiqing to stay.
Waving her phone, she used the excuse of taking a call and walked out of the office.
At this hour, most people had already left work.
The whole building was very quiet.
An Yiqing found a random corner to stand, looked at the heavy rain outside the window, and answered Ye Qian’ge’s voice call.
Ye Qian’ge sounded stimulated, her tone extremely exaggerated: “Oh my god, you didn’t, by any chance, fall for my cousin, did you?”
Ye Qian’ge didn’t know that the rented house wasn’t Yu Sirou’s.
An Yiqing laughed: “Your cousin is very beautiful, but that’s not what I meant.”
“You scared me to death, I almost thought we were going to become relatives,” Ye Qian’ge breathed a long sigh of relief.
After figuring out the misunderstanding, she asked about An Yiqing’s recent situation.
Knowing that she was doing well, Ye Qian’ge was finally relieved.
She, the matchmaker, hadn’t betrayed her friend.
She was leading a tour group for several months this time and was extremely busy.
They chatted a little more, then Ye Qian’ge complained that she was going to sleep.
After all, she was someone who had to wake up at five in the morning, so An Yiqing didn’t bother her sleep.
Hanging up the phone, An Yiqing looked out the window again.
The sound of the rain was incessant, like a beating heart. The rainwater blurred her vision on the glass.
Her calm face was reflected on the glass.
In fact, she was not calm inside.
She couldn’t pinpoint the reason.
Perhaps it was hearing Teacher Zhang’s words and realizing his impure motives, wanting to flirt with Xu Lingyin. Or perhaps, it was finding out Xu Lingyin’s true identity.
Lighting up the screen, she opened the search bar and entered Xu Lingyin’s name.
A profile popped up on the screen.
Xu Lingyin, graduated from Q University, Founder and CEO of Zhihua Game, Producer of Qingdu Yao…
This woman was only 25 years old.
Any words of praise seemed inadequate. An Yiqing simply stopped thinking. Only two words remained in her mind: Amazing.
Too amazing.
What did it matter if such an amazing person had a bad temper?
An Yiqing naturally started finding excuses for her.
While her thoughts were drifting, Xu Lingyin’s voice suddenly appeared behind her: “Hey, what are you spacing out for?”
An Yiqing snapped out of her thoughts and turned around.
Xu Lingyin was carrying her bag, her arms crossed over her chest.
She must have been standing there for a while.
“Let’s go.” An Yiqing lowered her eyes, returned to the office, picked up the meal containers, and went downstairs with her.
An Yiqing drove the car from the parking lot, picked up Xu Lingyin, and they went back together.
The spring rain was getting heavier and heavier, and the road surface was a little hard to see.
An Yiqing drove very slowly, and the ants passing by would leave them behind.
Xu Lingyin leaned on the car. Her mood, which had been okay, gradually became irritable.
An Yiqing glanced at her but didn’t speed up.
Safety was no joke.
“It’s endless, so annoying,” Xu Lingyin raised her hands and rubbed her temples.
Visibly uncomfortable, An Yiqing asked softly: “Are you very uncomfortable?”
Xu Lingyin suppressed her irritation: “I can bear it, just focus on the road.”
Not knowing how uncomfortable she was, An Yiqing asked: “Should we go to the hospital?”
“No need,” Xu Lingyin said coldly.
The car fell silent, with only the sound of fingers rubbing skin and hair.
The frequency was getting higher and higher.
The rain outside the window was also getting denser, as if it wanted to smash the glass and pour in.
An Yiqing didn’t dare to be careless, she cheered up and paid closer attention to her surroundings.
In the middle of the night, there were few cars on the road.
An Yiqing glanced at the rear-view mirror from time to time, pursing her lips, her expression becoming more solemn.
After observing for four or five minutes, she vaguely saw the license plate with the help of the light.
She said flatly: “The BMW with license plate A5***, do you know whose car it is?”
“Hu Bingjie.”
Xu Lingyin answered, stopped her movements, and turned to stare at An Yiqing.
She was asking with her eyes what was going on.
Knowing the name meant it was someone familiar.
This situation suggested that the person was probably up to no good.
“It’s been following behind for a while,” An Yiqing reminded her. “I can shake her off.”
Xu Lingyin’s face turned worse, and disgust seeped out of her skin: “No need, pull over, I’ll go talk to her.”
It was pouring outside, and Xu Lingyin was in a bad mood, so it was best not to confront her head-on.
An Yiqing tried to communicate with her: “Shaking someone off is no problem…”
Before she finished speaking, the car, which was not very close, suddenly accelerated.
Without time to think, An Yiqing spat out two words: “Hold on.”
At the same time, she decisively accelerated and turned the steering wheel to the left.
In the heavy rain, the BMW was like an arrow shot from a bow, rushing forward towards the Volkswagen regardless of anything.
The headlights aimed at the car’s rear, and just as it was about to push the rainwater away, the Volkswagen suddenly turned 90 degrees.
Opening a distance of two or three meters.
Before the BMW could react, the Volkswagen sped away.
The sound of the rain grew louder, covering up the curses in the car.
Hu Bingjie almost twisted the steering wheel off, her fingertips digging into her flesh, staring viciously at the red taillights ahead.
In the snow-white rain, the two red car lights became dimmer.
As if mocking her dark, endless future.
“An Yiqing, dare to interfere with Xu Lingyin’s affairs? Just you wait.” Hu Bingjie snorted, turned a corner, and drove away.
Having escaped danger, An Yiqing drove into the parking area, unbuckled her seat belt, and handed a bottle of water to the person next to her.
The turn just now was too sharp. Xu Lingyin was seeing stars, covering her mouth, her face pale.
As soon as the car stopped, she pushed the door open, rushed into the rain, and threw up terribly.
The rainwater beat down on her, soaking her thin suit.
An Yiqing quickly opened her umbrella, ran over, and moved it over Xu Lingyin’s head.
The rain was too heavy, and the umbrella was not very effective.
An Yiqing still held it for her, shifting the entire umbrella surface over Xu Lingyin’s head.
The pouring rain rolled down from the top of the umbrella, forming a curtain of rain that all fell onto An Yiqing.
In the blink of an eye, An Yiqing’s clothes were soaked.
She didn’t care at all, tilted her body slightly, took a pack of tissues from her pocket, and handed it to Xu Lingyin.
Xu Lingyin had thrown up everything she ate, clutching her stomach, and stood up with difficulty.
She took the tissues in front of her and slowly wiped the corners of her mouth.
After recovering for a while, Xu Lingyin took a deep breath, closed her eyes, and then opened them.
A person completely soaked appeared in her line of sight.
Rainwater flowed down her hair and hit the ground.
One stream fell, and new ones followed, endlessly.
There were also “fugitive fish” that slipped from her smooth forehead, flowed down her slightly heroic eyebrows.
And plunged into the two pools of calm water.
It turned out that An Yiqing’s eyes were so beautiful.
As clear as her name suggested.
Xu Lingyin looked into them, seeing the depths.
She didn’t know if she hadn’t stood firm, or if she was willingly, falling into this pool of water.
The rain was torrential, and the sound of the rain was deafening.
But under the umbrella, there was a barrier, so quiet that they could hear each other’s breathing.
“The rain is too heavy, let’s get in the car,” An Yiqing said calmly, as if nothing had happened.
Frowning imperceptibly, Xu Lingyin raised her leg to walk, her shoes filled with water.
The road was flooded, forming a small river.
They were virtually wading across.
The speed was still slow on the way back, but fortunately, no one caused trouble, and they arrived home smoothly.
They entered the house, one footprint after another.
Especially An Yiqing, who drew two continuous water lines.
The most urgent task was to quickly take a shower to wash away the cold.
And to wash away the bad luck of encountering Hu Bingjie.
While An Yiqing was taking a shower, she re-evaluated the incident on the road.
She thought, if Hu Bingjie was looking for Xu Lingyin, she should have known beforehand that she would be bringing Xu Lingyin back.
It was a last-minute decision, so how could Hu Bingjie know?
An Yiqing was sure that Hu Bingjie was not nearby when she drove out.
Otherwise, she would have noticed earlier.
Was Hu Bingjie here for her?
This was the first time An Yiqing had heard this name, and she was certain that she hadn’t offended her.
After taking a shower, she put on her pajamas and opened the door.
Xu Lingyin also walked out of her room.
“I’ll handle Hu Bingjie’s matter, you don’t need to worry about it,” Xu Lingyin raised her eyelids, her eyes colder than usual.
An Yiqing shook her head: “I’m afraid she came for me. Who exactly is this Hu Bingjie?”
“The woman who you threw on the ground in the bar that day,” Xu Lingyin sneered.
The vicious curses seemed to still be ringing in her ears, and An Yiqing suddenly realized.
Having figured out the situation, she stopped thinking about these things.
Walking into the kitchen, she tied on her apron and said to Xu Lingyin: “I’ll cook some soup for you to warm your stomach.”
