Chapter 107 - Man Or Woman?

Before Han Qingshan's hands could touch her chest, Jiang Yingyue stirred in his arms, her hands reaching her eyes and rubbing them, and she slowly opened her deep and profound eyes, looking confused at the scene in front of her.

What greeted her was the sight of Han Qingshan's body at very close range, she even felt the heat in her hands, and when she looked down she was shocked to see that she had her hands plastered on his chest, gently caressing his muscles; her face instantly turned crimson and she withdrew her hands in an instant.

When the hands removed themselves from his chest, Han Qingshan felt as if something had gone missing in his heart, but he did not have the time to ponder on this feeling. For now, all that was in his mind was the doubt that had surfaced. Was Jiang Yingyue truly a man or a woman?

Jiang Yingyue was unaware of what had happened. Last night she had fallen asleep on the sofa, so how did she end up sleeping in Han Qingshan's embrace? Her face was flushed red, and she was perplexed, confusion painted all over her face.

Han Qingshan was lazily lying down on the bed. He was resting his head on the arm that had been used as a pillow before and looked curiously at Jiang Yingyue, who had sat up on the bed.

He could not see whether or not she was a woman, and all that he could see was that the frame of her body was definitely not as masculine as his was.

Something inside of him was screaming in hope that this was, in fact, a woman, while a rational voice was telling him that he should not get his hopes up, that he was just dreaming about her being a woman because he could not accept being gay.

Jiang Yingyue dared not look at Han Qingshan. She was so embarrassed with herself for snuggling up to him like this, and she could not help but wonder how she could not have noticed anything.

The rest of the morning was a blur to Jiang Yingyue. She somehow managed to enter the bathroom, change her clothes and bandages as she washed up, and then eat breakfast.

Seeing her dazed and embarrassed expression, Han Qingshan put the thoughts of her gender aside and felt rather refreshed. In the end, her gender did not matter to him. He knew that he wanted her, whether she was a man or a woman, she could only belong to him.

He had ordered a scrumptious meal for their breakfast, but it was as if her soul had been spirited away, her shell remaining like a doll, eating mechanically. Her thoughts were definitely not present.

Knowing what she was thinking about, and seeing her face sometimes blushing, alongside her being incapable of even looking at him, he was rather satisfied. Although he wanted her to look at him boldly, this already meant that he was a special person in her heart, for her to react like this.

After they finished eating, they left the hotel and went straight to Imperial World's main office.

As soon as they stepped in through the entrance, they both noticed that everyone was glancing their way. It was obvious that although Han Qingshan had deleted all the gossip about him being gay, it was impossible to undo the damage that had already been done, and everyone viewed him with curiosity.

At the same time, they looked at Jiang Yingyue with mixed emotions. Some looked at her with envy and jealousy, others with disdain and disgust, and yet some with curiosity.

It was obvious that many wanted to take the position next to Han Qingshan, and even more wanted to be his assistant. However, he had chosen Jiang Yingyue who was but a mere university student.

As to why no one had understood it before, after seeing the gossip about Han Qingshan allegedly being in a relationship with the young scholarship student, everyone started to gossip and come up with their own theories.

Many disdained those who got their position through the backdoor instead of getting it through their qualifications and hard work, but no one dared say anything as they understood that Han Qingshan would definitely side with his newfound love for now.

Some were even jealous of Jiang Yingyue, wishing that they were the ones receiving such affection. But they now knew that it was too late. Almost all of the women in the company had given up after coming to the conclusion that he was gay. There were, however, still a few who refused to give up.

One of these women was Yu Xiulan. She refused to believe that Han Qingshan was actually gay. In fact, she was of the impression that the whole situation was something he had started for the sake of getting peace and quiet from other women.

So when Han Qingshan and Jiang Yingyue reached the top floor, ready to enter the office, what greeted them was not Song Liwei as Jiang Yingyue had expected. Instead it was Yu Xiulan and her manager.

Seeing that it was them again, Han Qingshan frowned slightly. He had not forgotten how the last time Yu Xiulan had shown attention to Jiang Yingyue, and he had just fended off Zhou Yan; he was not willing to also have to see Jiang Yingyue entangled with this actress.

Still, he had no other option, and invited them inside the office, wondering what exactly their purpose was.
