Chapter 105: Date The Secretary (2)

Note: Title Based On Previous Date Back In Chapter 4

Before Li Yang could say a word last night—the tigress spirit disappeared in a blink of an eye. He could have done something like chase after her or track her down, but the man decided to give her some space. He doubted she would believe in his words, and that was the end to his night.

When morning finally came up, which was actually at four-thirty in the morning for him, he set out to prepare for the day. It was his date with Ying Yue He. Perhaps he shouldn't have driven Bo Lifen home and perhaps had her stay at his house—that would have at least mitigated the incident with Taiga.

He normally didn't regret his decisions, but he wondered about it now.

"A very dark morning to you." Bao appeared in front of him.

Li Yang rubbed the corner of his eyes. "Yes, the sun is not out yet."

"I mean, some Observers didn't exactly like how you handled the situation last night, but whatever." the Panda floated about and shrugged. "Then again, most don't care about the life of mortals beyond entertainment, so it isn't too bad. Just around a three thousand charm points or so lost, but that shtick with Bo Lifen racked you up good points too."

"Thank you for informing me." He stretched one moment and then finally summoned the status screen. Li Yang would briefly go over them and the reactions… to the incident last night and indeed saw it was mixed like some raving fire.

"How do some people call it… battles and wars of shipping?"

"...I would like to say that I understood it, but I need to prepare." Li Yang frowned slightly and glanced at the other stream of messages. Some of the reactions in the Heavens were shown, and it gave some hint to the personalities of those from Celestial Heavens. In particular, it seemed like 'Dat Peach' was terribly rich enough to throw around points and still give it to him despite him still not touching the Unofficial System Patch that they had given to him.

The CEO recalled Bao's words and sighed inwardly. He would have to consider about this situation another time. Li Yang wished he didn't notice—but their names began to become part of his daily routine. And though the messages were a mixture of praises and disappointment in him or the end of the night regarding his encounter with Taiga… The Charm Points he received were another story. Even if there had been some loss of points, the gains he received were still larger in the end.

He was beginning to get into the rhythm of acquiring points despite the lack of main quests. It wasn't exactly skipping, as he knew that once his timer ends, he would be getting a new target, but he was able to achieve his goals. And perhaps that was what he would take ahold on to more than the harem.

—

The world was bright, colorful and wonderful to Ying Yue He. She could have used another adjective but decided not to opt into it and instead prepared for her date with her… boss!

The woman could have squealed like any highschool girl that received a prom invitation from her crush. A crush who also happened to be the most popular, handsomest and richest boy in the entire school.

She hummed despite it being six in the morning and her favorite music played on her phone on full volume—

Until she heard a knock on the door.

When she opened it, Madam Dongxia stood in front of her with an eye mask over her forehead. "Will you keep the noise a little down?"

"Ah good morning, Madam Dongxia—I'll do just that," Ying Yue He grinned at her. "You can sleep in for the rest because I'll be gone by seven, Madam."

The older woman gave her a look. "You're glowing."

"Thank you!"

The older lady shook her head and waved. "Keep the noise down, you're not the only one in this apartment, okay?" Madam Dongxia returned to her room.

Ying Yue He touched her face and then let out a whimsical sigh. "Today's going to be the day—" She cleared her throat and stepped to her closet. The secretary assessed her clothes.

Most were the tried and tested black pencil skirts matched with different colored blouses. "I need it to be both cute and functional—fit for the zoo and then the concert. Something that says, 'Look at me being effortlessly charming' and other things along those lines."

—

"I'd rate your outfit a six—you're going on a casual date." Bao had a paw in his face. "Who wears a jacket in the morning?"

"You could have told me before we left."

"I'm not your assistant. I bet your brother and his woman would have stopped you from walking out of the house."

"But they were asleep," Li Yang said. "Either way, I think you're exaggerating as usual." The man parked his car outside of the apartment and glanced at his watch. Fifteen minutes before the scheduled time.

He would wait patiently and yawned.

There was a rap on the window. Li Yang opened his eyes and saw Ying Yue He outside already. She wasn't supposed to be out of the apartment, and yet here she was. The man rolled down the window and smiled at her. "Good morning, Miss He. Will you get inside now?"

"Of course!"

She stepped inside and took the shotgun seat beside him. The woman had her backpack on that matched her cargo shorts and a loose black shirt that showed off both her arms and legs.

It was really casual, in direct contrast to his own clothes. But more than that, he had never really seen her wear anything like it, even during team building events at the company.

"Ah… are my clothes weird?" She sheepishly smiled. "If it's not appropriate, I can change."

"No, it's just my first time seeing you in those clothes, they look good on you."

"You too, Mister Li! I've never seen you in anything but a two piece or three-piece suit."

The two of them would soon be on their way for their date.
