CH 52

Under the gloomy gaze of Yu Cheng, Qian Le left the office with a stiff smile.

In the lobby on the first floor, Bai Wanxin was still waiting. She thought she could go in by saying hello to Qian Le, but this time she was directly refused at the door.

Reason: President Yu is in a meeting and very busy.

Bai Wanxin gave a cold glance at the receptionist who relayed the message, then turned and walked towards the door.

But at this moment, she saw a familiar figure walking in through the glass revolving door.

Wan Tong didn’t notice Bai Wanxin at all and walked straight to the reception desk.

“Hello, do you have any business here?” The receptionist politely asked.

“Can I see Yu Cheng? ” Wan Tong asked.

“May I know who you are? Have you made an appointment before?”

“Um, my name is Wantong. I didn’t make an appointment. Could you ask for me?”

The receptionist picked up the internal phone and was about to make a call, but then she saw Bai Wanxin standing behind Wan Tong. The cold gaze from Bai Wanxin made her feel a bit embarrassed.

Just now, she had told Bai Wanxin that President Yu was busy…

So the receptionist put down the phone and smiled, repeating the words she had just said to Bai Wanxin to Wan Tong, “I’m sorry, President Yu is in a meeting right now and can’t see anyone at the moment.”

Wan Tong looked at the phone in frustration and said, “Okay, thanks.”

It was almost noon, and she had wanted to have lunch with Yu Cheng.

The receptionist forced a smile and felt a chill running down her back.

“Sister Wantong?” Bai Wanxin’s voice came from behind.

Wan Tong turned and said lazily, “Don’t call me ‘Sister,’ it’s weird.”

Bai Wanxin: “…”

Receptionist: “…” From the looks of it, Bai Wanxin was not younger than this Miss Wantong. She wondered how Bai Wanxin managed to call out ‘Sister.’

“Well then, I’ll call you Wantong,” Bai Wanxin said. “Can we talk?”

“Yeah.” Wan Tong thought that since she had to wait for Yu Cheng here anyway, she nodded her head.

The two sat down at the nearby resting place, Bai Wanxin looked at Wan Tong and showed her kind side, “Wantong, after Dad came back that day, he didn’t mention you much. We haven’t had a chance to meet either. I just wanted to ask if you have any plans to move back? Your room at home has always been kept tidy.”

After hearing this, Wan Tong smiled and said, “Don’t you believe that I am Bai Wantong?”

“I believe in Ah Cheng. Since he believes you are, then you must be.” Bai Wanxin said softly, “Wantong, these years haven’t been easy for Dad. He misses you a lot. If you can, please come back to see him more often…”

Of course, Bai Wanxin hoped that Wan Tong could move back to the Bai family. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have a chance to investigate her situation, and she wouldn’t feel at ease letting such an unknown woman staying by Yu Cheng’s side.

“I will naturally go and see Dad. You don’t need to remind me.” Wan Tong could tell that Bai Wanxin didn’t have much sincerity towards her, and her words were full of all kinds of implications, which made people feel uneasy.

“That way, I’ll be relieved.” Bai Wanxin said and asked about Wan Tong’s news in the past few years.

Wan Tong’s reply of “amnesia” shut down the conversation.

However, various suspicions arose in Bai Wanxin’s eyes.

Wan Tong had originally planned to send a message to Yu Cheng, but she refrained from doing so in the presence of Bai Wanxin.

To avoid Bai Wanxin shamelessly joined her meal with Yu Cheng later.

After more than ten minutes had passed and Bai Wanxin showed no signs of leaving, Wan Tong’s mouth twitched. “Are you finished speaking yet?”

“Wantong, you don’t have to be so guarded towards me. I just wanted to show some concern for you. You said you’ve forgotten a lot of memories, but have you forgotten that you jumped into the sea ten years ago?” Bai Wanxin probed.

Wan Tong raised an eyebrow. “It seems like there was such a thing, but I don’t remember why I did it.”

Bai Wanxin stared at her eyes, but her eyes were clear, and Bai Wanxin couldn’t detect any signs of lying or pain. It was difficult to tell if she was the real Wantong or if she had truly lost her memory.

Could such a coincidental and absurd thing really happen in the world?

“Forgetting it is okay too. After all, it wasn’t a good thing,” Bai Wanxin said in a comforting tone.

Wan Tong wanted to continue probing, but Bai Wanxin remained impervious and didn’t mention the matter again.

After half an hour had passed, Bai Wanxin couldn’t bear it any longer and went to the front desk to inquire. She then left with a sullen face.

Wan Tong heard what the receptionist said and silently sent a message to Yu Cheng.

From what it looks like now, Bai Wanxin’s 50 favorability value doesn’t seem to have affected Yu Cheng, so Wan Tong is relieved.

However, she still wants to receive the remaining memories as soon as possible. Bai Wanxin seems to know something, and maybe it’s easier to dig it out from Bai Wanxin.

Yu Cheng has a habit of not looking at his phone. When he saw Wan Tong’s message, it was already an hour later.

When he called back, there was no response on the other end.

Qian Le brought lunch in and saw Yu Cheng stand up from his chair and hurried towards the door.

“President Yu, where are you going?”

Qian Le put down the lunch box and quickly followed.

When Yu Cheng arrived at the lobby, the receptionist nodded at him and suppressed her excitement as she spoke, “President Yu.”

“Are there any other visitors besides Bai Wanxin?” Yu Cheng asked directly.

The receptionist was a little surprised, then answered, “There’s one more named Wantong…”

She hadn’t finished speaking when Yu Cheng furrowed his brows and asked, “When did she leave?”

“Ah, she, she hasn’t left yet.” The receptionist felt like she had done something wrong and quickly pointed to the corner of the lobby where the rest area was. “She’s over there…”

Yu Cheng’s handsome face grew cold as he turned and walked towards that direction.

Qian Le also overheard their conversation and approached the receptionist, whispering, “Xiao Mei, why didn’t you tell me that President Yu’s little sweetheart was here?’

Xiao Mei widened her eyes. “President Yu’s little what?”

“Little sweetheart,” Qian Le blinked.

“I… I didn’t know… Miss Bai was here earlier, and I couldn’t ask you then. Later, the girl just stayed quietly, and I forgot…” Xiao Mei frowned, looking towards Yu Cheng’s figure with Qian Le.

When did President Yu get a little sweetheart…

Yu Cheng arrived at the bench in the rest area and saw Wan Tong dozing off against the backrest.

Her phone was placed by her side, the screen still lit with three missed calls from him.

“Tongtong?” He softly called her name.

Wan Tong opened her eyes groggily and asked, “Chengcheng, is your meeting over?”

Yue Cheng felt a sense of guilt and replied, “Let me take you upstairs to rest first. Have you eaten? Are you hungry?”

Wan Tong rubbed her stomach and remembered that she had come to have a meal with him, so she said, “I haven’t eaten yet, I was waiting for you.”

As soon as she finished speaking, Yue Cheng bent down and picked her up. “It just so happened Qian Le has prepared some food.”

It was lunchtime, and there were many people in the lobby. They were shocked to see this scene, but they controlled their expressions and didn’t show too much curiosity.

It was the first time they had seen President Yu be so intimate with a someone of the opposite sex. Not only did he speak softly and tenderly, but he also gave her a princess carry!

After Yu Cheng carried her into the elevator, everyone gathered around Qian Le.

“Assistant Qian, who is the person that President Yu is carrying?”

“Does President Yu have a girlfriend now?”

“Doesn’t seem like it’s Bai Wanxin, Assistant Qian, can you reveal some information?”

…

Qian Le pretended to be serious, “Anyway, you all know that’s President Yu’s precious little sweetheart, so don’t mess with her.”

Everyone silently took note.

Having seen it with their own eyes and with Qian Le’s reminder, they naturally gained a high level of understanding about the position that girl held in President Yu’s heart.

After Qian Le went upstairs to wait, a woman in professional attire came to the front desk and asked in a low voice, “Xiao Mei, did you say the girl Mr. Yu was holding is called Wantong?”

Xiaomei was still nervous and nodded when the woman asked, “Yes.”

The woman continued to ask, “What’s her surname?”

Xiaomei looked at her notes and shook her head, “I don’t know, she only said her name is Wantong, but Bai Wanxin seems to call her Sister. I don’t know if she’s the daughter of the Bai family…”

But the Bai family only has one daughter, Bai Wanxin, right?

After hearing this, the woman’s face showed surprise, “How is that possible?”

“Hey, Manager Li, do you know her?”

Li Ruotong looked towards the direction of the elevator with some uncertainty, “He looks a lot like a classmate I knew in high school, even the name is similar.”

Xiao Mei chuckled, “But Manager Li, President Yu’s little sweetheart looks at most twenty years old, so it shouldn’t be your classmate, right?”

Li Ruotong also smiled, “Yeah, you’re right.”

After so many years, Yu Cheng still only loved that one person, and Li Ruotong didn’t know if it was because he was too infatuated or if it was just male pride at play.

After all, Yu Cheng had followed Bai Wantong like a bodyguard for so many years, but in the end, Bai Wantong still didn’t have feelings for him.

But ten years ago, it was rumored that Bai Wantong had already died, and in fact, among their classmates, there was no one who could contact her.

“I went back to the Bai family this morning, but my Dad didn’t see me, Chengcheng, why do you think that is?” After eating and drinking her fill, Wan Tong collapsed on the sofa.

“He may have his own reasons.” Yu Cheng brought her a glass of water and placed it on the coffee table.

“What kind of reasons would make him not want to see me?”

“You’ll know when the time comes,” Yu Cheng sat down beside her, but there was still some distance between them.

Ever since he noticed that she was intentionally or unintentionally avoiding him, he sensitively kept their distance at a comfortable level for her.

After careful consideration, Wan Tong hesitated before speaking up. “Chengcheng, I don’t like the stepmother and step-siblings my Dad arranged for me.”

These days, she also learned from online sources that several major projects that belonged to the Yu Cheng Group seemed to have fallen into the hands of the Bai family.

Most of them were voluntarily given up by Yu Cheng.

In the world plot, Father Bai did not use his past favors to make Yu Cheng repay him for anything, and the step-siblings were all very mediocre. As a result, the Bai family’s scale continuously shrank, and after Father Bai passed away, the Bai family was even worse off.

Now that the Raider had entered Bai Wanxin’s body, using her proximity to Yu Cheng, she had taken on several major projects. The two siblings had revived the Bai family and won over many supporters.

Although Bai Wanxin still hadn’t directly taken over Yu Cheng’s luck, she wanted to cultivate her brother into a great lucky person as well. As the saying goes, “one mountain cannot accommodate two tigers.”1This is a Chinese idiom that means two powerful or talented individuals cannot coexist peacefully in the same place, as they will inevitably compete and clash with each other. If Yu Cheng continued to let things go on like this, it would surely harm his luck.

Yu Cheng didn’t ask why, he just frowned and asked, “Are they giving you a hard time?”

Wan Tong shook her head. “It’s just that I can’t accept them. They’re all strangers to me.”

“We won’t see them then.” Yu Cheng responded naturally.

After a brief conversation, Qian Le knocked on the door and walked in.

Facing his boss’s dark expression, he said, “President Yu, we have an appointment with… Mr. Zhou at 2 p.m. It’s time to leave now.”

He almost mentioned “Dr. Zhou”, but he instinctively felt that President Yu wouldn’t want the little sweetheart to hear it, so he changed his words.

It was only then that Yu Cheng remembered something and waved his hand, “Postpone it.”

However, Qian Le still had Yu Cheng’s best interests in mind. Whenever he thought of the red characters on the screen that he saw in the morning, he felt uncomfortable, hoping that President Yu would recover his mental health as soon as possible…

“President Yu, you have postponed your meeting with Mr. Zhou for three consecutive months. Mr. Bai may be worried about it.” Qian Le felt like he was being stared at with knives by Yu Cheng’s eyes.

Listening to Qian Le’s words, Wan Tong’s mind stirred. This Mr. Zhou… could it be Dr. Zhou Jiang, the psychologist that Father Bai invited for Yu Cheng?

In the world plot, Zhou Jiang had hardly appeared. He just helped Yu Cheng relieve some pressure regularly and helped him control his increasingly severe OCD and cleanliness.

But now Zhou Jiang had been won over by Bai Wanxin, and they had a private relationship, so Bai Wanxin understood Yu Cheng’s mental condition very well.

“Who is Mr. Zhou? Can I go with you?” Wan Tong asked Yu Cheng with great interest, blinking her eyes.

She wanted to find an opportunity to expose the affair between these two.

Yu Cheng wanted to refuse, but he had no resistance when he met her gaze.

“Okay.”

Qian Le: “…” President Yu’s obedient appearance is so much like someone in love.

He shifted his gaze to Wan Tong and silently praised her, she really is Yu Cheng’s little sweetheart.
