He had begun to rehearse the duel between himself and his mother in his mind, to think what words he could use to convince her that this negotiation seemed more difficult than any battle he had ever experienced, because its failure to use a head-on weapon depended entirely on whether his mother valued his happiness more or the reputation of the family more.
"CEO." Ning Caier could not help but shout out again, at the same time, she gently placed the document on top of Ouyang Jue's table, only then did Ouyang Jue suddenly react, she raised her head as though he had just woken up from a dream, and looked at Ning Caier with a puzzled expression.
"When did you arrive?" Ouyang Jue previously said that Ning Caier could enter his office at will, so the secretary did not make any announcements. He was stunned for a few seconds before reacting, flipping through the documents in his hands, "I heard his report at 2 PM in the conference room, so all of you came along as well."
Ouyang Jue didn't have the heart to care about what he was planning at the moment. He had been hesitating on whether he should give his mother a call to report the news to her, and at the same time see how her body was doing. And whether she could bear the news that he was going to be with Ning Caier.
He had only used this matter to force to stay engaged with him. If that was the case, then he would be throwing his life away by calling his mother, and that Madame Ouyang might immediately come out from the island to take charge of the situation. This matter had caused him to struggle for an entire night, making it impossible for him to enter a state of sleep.
"You have something on your mind?" Ning Caier took a look at the door of the CEO's office to confirm that it was closed. Only then did she dare to sit in front of Ouyang Jue and talk about private matters. She initially did not want to apply this privilege to the company, but Ouyang Jue's eyes did not shine, this kind of abnormal situation made her worry.
"Nothing, I just didn't sleep well last night." Ouyang Jue gulped down all the cold coffee in front of him. Ning Caier noticed that the cup of coffee on his table was not one cup but was filled slowly, he had been using this kind of black coffee to refresh his body the whole morning! No wonder he looked so haggard.
"You should rest for a while. Otherwise, you'll definitely fall asleep after the report this afternoon."
Ning Caier kept all the coffee and poured a cup of Citizen's Tea for Ouyang Jue. However, Ouyang Jue did not feel that the beverage under his blanket had been changed, it was as if he was drinking cold coffee and drinking the scalding cup of ginseng tea, and he did not feel that it was hot at all.
She did not know what else he could do. Ouyang Jue had been living alone with his since he returned from Taiwan, and he did not let Ning Caier go up to live with him nor did he even go downstairs to visit her. Every day he looked dazed, as if he didn't know exactly what to do.
"Did you pour this tea?" Ouyang Jue finally felt the blisters in his mouth. He took a glance at the thick cup of Citizen's Tea, and realised that he had once again misplaced his time.
"I'll take you to the hospital. I'm afraid of you." Ning Caier almost cried. She grabbed Ouyang Jue's arm and wanted to bring him away from here. She could reject the position of Young Mistress Ouyang, but she couldn't watch him torture his like this.
"I'm fine. I'll be fine after a short rest. Besides, my tongue has been eating all kinds of delicious food since I was young. I'm not afraid of the heat at all."
Ouyang Jue saw through Ning Caier's worry, so he mustered his strength and stood up from the chair, and focused his gaze on Ning Caier's face.
He saw that she was actually crying because she was worried about him, and a kind of tender love ignited in his heart. Moreover, he now realized that Ning Caier's outfit today was obviously for him, and must have been put on for his sake.
"You're getting more and more beautiful now. Don't worry, you'll be able to solve everything."
Ouyang Jue gave Ning Caier a long kiss to show that he was alright. This kiss made her feel like the surrounding air had frozen, and she did her best to cooperate with Ouyang Jue in hoping to bring him out of the haze in his heart. Her two legs were like a soft fishtail as they tightly stuck themselves onto Ouyang Jue's body, causing his body that was deeply immersed in the ice, to slowly become warm.
Ouyang Jue's consciousness was finally awakened by this mermaid like kiss. Previously, when he tried to minimize the amount of time he had with Ning Caier because he wanted to think through the entire matter and organize his thoughts, he realized that he had done wrong. He couldn't leave Ning Caier's side, and only when he was with her would his thoughts be clear.
His mother cared more about her son's reputation and more so cared about his reputation. She would definitely not let the reputation of a child born in Ouyang Family be spread around the world. As long as he could have a child with Ning Caier, he would have enough chances to convince his mother.
The air in their bodies was slowly being exhausted by the warm kisses. Ouyang Jue reluctantly let go of Ning Caier as he gently whispered into her ear, "I just want to be with you."
He carried her with a princess and directly entered his bedroom in the CEO's office. The red pillow and bed cover looked like it was a wedding dress, and the place was extremely neat, as if no one had used it in a long time. Ever since Ouyang Jue fell in love with Ning Caier, this room had never seen any other woman, and even he himself had not rested on this bed.
"Ouyang, we can't stay here." She knew that no one would casually come into this office, but she could not help but feel nervous. Doing this kind of thing openly in a building with a few hundred employees, it made her feel very uneasy, as if someone would suddenly barge in and crash into them.
"Of course, you are the mistress here." Ouyang Jue pressed Ning Caier onto the bed. Right now, he didn't think of anything at all, he only wanted to be one with her. He wanted a child, a child that they could be together forever.
But just as he lifted Ning Caier's skirt, there was a bang outside the door, Ouyang Jue's secretary did not bother to knock on the door before barging in.
"CEO Ouyang, Miss Xu is here!"
The secretary knew that Ning Caier and Ouyang Jue's conversation in the room wasn't as simple as business, so she barged in recklessly to prevent Ouyang Jue from being caught by the future Madam Tian Ao. It was because Xu Mengyun's expression was really ugly today, as if a storm was about to blow over.
Sure enough, she saw that Ning Caier was entangled with the CEO, so she immediately gave him a look to get her to let go, because Miss Xu was right behind her, and they were about to charge in.
Usually, her relationship with Ning Caier was not bad, and she was hoping that her Little Madam would help her raise her rank and raise her salary. Therefore, she would rather risk offending the CEO to make sure that she was alright, because she knew very well that as long as Ning Caier was willing to speak a good word for her, she would forgive her no matter how angry she was.
However, her report was still a step too late. Xu Mengyun was already standing behind her, and her face was ashen as she surveyed her surroundings, only saying one word, "Get out!"
Xu Mengyun was in a bad mood, if there were only the three of them here, there would naturally be no harm, but with an outsider like the secretary, it would only harm Xu Family's face, and let others know that she, Xu Mengyun, did not have enough charm to keep her fiancé, and this kind of humiliation was something she would definitely not be able to endure.
The secretary naturally withdrew in fear, so as to not be implicated by this matter later on. Ning Caier felt even more embarrassed as she quickly tidied up her clothes and looked down at Ouyang Jue, not knowing what she should do.
Ouyang Jue pointed at her and told her to leave first. Something bad must have happened to Xu Mengyun for him to barge in in such an aggressive manner, because he did not want Ning Caier to worry.
"I know."
After Ning Caier saw him nod his head, she also silently withdrew. Although she already knew that Ouyang Jue and Xu Mengyun were faking an engagement, she still couldn't help but slightly bend her body to show her respect when she passed by Miss Xu.
She could feel the killing intent that Xu Mengyun was carrying, and it was enough to flatten the entire Heavenly Ao Tower. She couldn't help but suspect the words Ouyang Jue was saying to her. Could it be that Xu Mengyun was the same as Bai Youya, and wanted to fake the marriage contract from the very start?
"Mengyun, what happened? Sit down and let's talk."
Ouyang Jue also did not expect Xu Mengyun to visit him at this time. He closed the bedroom door, allowing Xu Mengyun to sit on the sofa in the living room.
She had long known about the relationship between him and Ning Caier, even if she had seen something earlier, she shouldn't have had such a huge reaction.
But when Xu Mengyun threw an item in front of him, his anger was definitely not any less than Xu Mengyun's, because the thing Xu Mengyun threw in front of him was a wedding invitation, an invitation for both of them. He and Xu Mengyun were going to get married, but even they themselves did not know, how could there be such a joke in the world?
"Is he crazy? How dare he spout nonsense like this!"
With just a glance, Ouyang Jue could tell that it was Ouyang Gu's doing. He had actually set their marriage date at a month on his own, and had already informed the elders of the Xu Family. If Xu Mengyun had not stopped them, this matter would have already spread to the entire city.
"Ouyang, although I am the one in charge of Xu's, the elders of the clan should not be underestimated. Once this matter spreads, we must get married, otherwise Xu Family and Ouyang Family will become enemies, and those elders will definitely not allow anyone to offend Xu Family's dignity."
Xu Mengyun's voice was trembling. She only found out about what happened when she received her elder's call this morning to congratulate him. This matter had already shocked the entire Xu's family.
No matter how much she tried to explain it, these elders all thought that it was because she was embarrassed to admit it. Because Ouyang Gu had personally come to notify them of this matter, no one would think that it was fake.
Furthermore, Ouyang Gu's movements were extremely fast, not only did he notify the elders of the Xu Family, he also invited some people to print out the invitations, and decided on the venue for their wedding as well as the related gifts. With such a large lineup, they were definitely not prepared in one day, but Ouyang Jue did not notice at all, if not for the call from the elders of the Xu Family, there would be no turning back.
