Chapter 159 - How Do I Graduate From This Position?

Li Qin Yao blinked her eyes a few times at Zhang Yu Han before she tilted her head down to avoid his gaze. The tip of her ears turned red and Li Qin Yao found it hard to breathe as they were too close.

Fortunately, most of the staff have gone into the meeting room and busied themselves with work. Or else, she would be embarrassed if someone caught her in the office.

Li Qin Yao put a hand on his chest to push him away slightly. "Let me show you the list of the suppliers. I'd like to hear your opinion."

Zhang Yu Han smiled as he stared at her abashed expression. He obediently took a step back and watched her walked around her desk to pull a few documents.

After searching for the papers on her table, Li Qin Yao pulled out a few documents and two envelopes.

"What's this?" Zhang Yu Han grabbed the envelope on the table.

"Wedding invitation," Li Qin Yao said. "My cousin, Li Ming Han is getting married. As one of QL's biggest business partner, the chairman invited you to attend his grandson's wedding."

Zhang Yu Han studied the wedding invitation for a while, thinking whether he should attend or not. A thought crossed his mind and he leaned forward to the desk and stared at his girlfriend. "Will you be attending?"

"Hmm," Li Qin Yao nodded as she continued to arrange the paper in her table. "Li Ming Han had helped me in the past. It wouldn't be right if I did not attend his wedding banquet."

Zhang Yu Han's lips curled into a smile as he continued to stare at her. "Then, under what identity should I attend this wedding?"

Li Qin Yao thought that his question sounded strange. It wasn't until she had lifted her head to meet Zhang Yu Han's gaze that she understood his words. She then leaned forward to him until their face was only an inch apart. "Which one would you prefer?"

Staring at the teasing smile on Li Qin Yao's face, Zhang Yu Han restrained his impulse to kiss her. "Of course, I would prefer to attend as your plus one. Or perhaps, Miss Li, are you intending to bring someone else as your plus one?"

Hearing Zhang Yu Han's question with that voice, Li Qin Yao felt her heart skipped a beat. "I planned to bring along my mother, but she did not want to be involved with my paternal family," Li Qin Yao said. "Mister Zhang, do you want to attend this wedding as my plus one?"

"So, am I only your second choice?" Zhang Yu Han raised his brow teasingly.

"Well, when you graduate from my probation boyfriend, then I'll consider making you my first choice."

Zhang Yu Han chuckled. "Then Miss Li, tell me, how do I graduate from this position?"

"Hmm," Li Qin Yao tilted her head to a side. "Everything shall depend on your performance." She patted him on his chest and said, "You've been great so far but I decided to continue to observe you for a while longer. Anyway, I like you as my probation boyfriend."

For a while, both of them stared at each other in silence.

Unable to resist the ambiguous atmosphere, Zhang Yu Han leaned forward to kiss her lips. He then lifted his hand and placed it on the back of her head, pulling her closer. The only thing that separated them was the darn desk. And because of the desk between then, the kiss did not last for too long.

Anyway, he did not want to hurt her.

Li Qin Yao blinked her eyes a few times at him as if to continue to tease him. Seeing the way he leaned in for another kiss, Li Qin Yao quickly grabbed the papers on her table and shoved it to his chest. "Zhang Yu Han, you should look at the list of the suppliers first." When she saw the frustrated look on his face, Li Qin Yao let out a giggle.

Zhang Yu Han stared at the stack of paper in his hand and took a deep breath to calm down.

Recently, he found that Li Qin Yao was getting better at teasing him. Although he was the one who will end up suffering, Zhang Yu Han thought that he really like this side of Li Qin Yao.

Silently, Zhang Yu Han sat down on the sofa and started to go through the papers in his hands.

"This morning, we are scheduled to meet with two suppliers and another three after lunch hour," Li Qin Yao said. "Give me a few minutes. Then, we'll head to the meeting room together."

Zhang Yu Han nodded. He flipped through the pages to study them. Soon, his eyes stopped as he reached to one company's details. Seeing the company's name, Zhang Yu Han's eyes turned dark.

The last time he asked Wei Jun Hao to investigate the girl that caused trouble for his girlfriend, Wei Jun Hao had included a brief investigation on Li Qin Yao's ex as well. Of course, he was familiar with the company that Chen Hao worked for, WS Company.

Zhang Yu Han then found out that after Chen Hao dated this girl called Tang Ai Ling, Chen Hao was promoted to a managerial position.

The thought that his girlfriend would meet and work together with her ex turned him into a bad mood.

He had waited for years and finally dated this girl.

Zhang Yu Han did not know why the two of them had broken up, but he had no intention to let them reconcile.

A few months ago, he was the one who stood at the sidelines, watching the couple in a good relationship.

This time, although he could see that Li Qin Yao liked him too, Zhang Yu Han had no confidence if he was to face Chen Hao.

He was not confident in how much Li Qin Yao likes him as compared to his ex.

Suddenly, Xiao Lian Yi knocked on the door and walked into the room with a document in her hand. She greeted Zhang Yu Han politely and walked towards Li Qin Yao.

"Miss Li, Liang Sheng wanted to know if you will be joining the discussion with LUX Group," Xiao Lian Yi announced.

Li Qin Yao nodded. "I will come over in five minutes."

Xiao Lian Yi looked at her wristwatch and said, "I've received words that the GM from WS Company should be here soon."

She then exchanged a few words with Li Qin Yao and walked out of the room.

Zhang Yu Han peered from his paper to look at his girlfriend's expression and trying to guess her thoughts. Somehow, he could not detect any joy or anger when her staff mentioned WS Company.

He did not know if Li Qin Yao was pretending to be cool about the probability of meeting her ex again.

Or perhaps... she did not care about that person anymore?

As the latter thought came to his mind, Zhang Yu Han quickly dismissed it.

It couldn't be it, right?
