Chapter 129 Unexpected Phone Call

Led by the property's vice president, Shen Youyou followed Ning Xiuyang to the property company's conference room.

Taking advantage of the fact that no one was around, Shen Youyou finally couldn't hold back any longer. She stared at Ning Xiuyang and questioned him, "Ning Xiuyang, have you been lying to me all along?"

Seeing her angry yet curious expression, Ning Xiuyang decided to be direct. He approached her step by step, pinning her against the conference table, and whispered, "Yes, I've been pretending all along. I went to great lengths to get you all moved into the apartment, all for you, Shen Youyou."

This domineering and direct confession made Shen Youyou's heart skip a beat.

She knew perfectly well that this was probably a lie, meant to make her happy, but she still couldn't help feeling a surge of secret joy.

"Nobody believes you!" she snapped, her cheeks flushing. "What about Mengmeng and Lulu? What's your relationship with them? Leaving aside Mengmeng, Lulu's feelings for you are written all over her face. She's practically announcing to us that she's your woman. Don't tell me this was just an accident!"

Is it that obvious?

Ning Xiuyang blinked, and couldn't help but sigh. Zheng Yulu was still young and not good at acting.

Since Shen Youyou has figured it out, Tang Wei and Zheng Yumeng must have known it long ago, right?

He thought this to himself, but on the surface, he still gave Shen Youyou a vague answer.

"That was an accident."

Just then, there was a knock on the conference room door, and the company receptionist led in a beautiful woman in a business suit who exuded a capable and intellectual air.

It was You Jinyu.

When You Jinyu saw the two people in the conference room being intimate, especially Shen Youyou under Ning Xiuyang, her eyes flickered.

She had originally planned to take this opportunity to invite Ning Xiuyang to a hotel that evening and completely give herself to him to repay his kindness. But seeing Shen Youyou there, she wisely abandoned the idea, only giving Ning Xiuyang a meaningful look.

Upon seeing the person who arrived, Shen Youyou's face flushed instantly, and she hurriedly pushed Ning Xiuyang away.

Ning Xiuyang seemed indifferent. He called out to Sister You, indicating for her to sit down, and then sat down himself. He then had someone call over the vice president of Guizhi Property to coordinate work with You Jinyu.

During the conversation, Ning Xiuyang's phone vibrated; it was a WeChat message from You Jinyu.

[You Jinyu]: "Are you free tonight? Let's go to the hotel and discuss Guizhi Property's management strategy in depth?"

[Ning Xiuyang]: "Is it just about discussing business?"

[You Jinyu]: "Then what else do you want to do? [rolls eyes]"

[Ning Xiuyang]: "Of course I've wanted to, I've wanted to so badly. We're just one step away, and you've been keeping it a secret all this time?"

Upon seeing the message, You Jinyu's face flushed, and she did not reply.

"Sister You, I'm leaving all the company matters to you."

Ning Xiuyang acted as a hands-off manager, entrusting all matters to her, leaving You Jinyu and the deputy general manager of Guizhi Property, etc., to their own devices. He then pulled up the still somewhat dazed Shen Youyou and walked straight outside.

"Hey! Where are we going?" Shen Youyou was being pulled by him, feeling both embarrassed and anxious.

"The hotel," Ning Xiuyang said without turning his head.

Shen Youyou's face instantly turned red to her ears. She said, "I'm not going," but her feet still followed involuntarily.

……

Inside the presidential suite, a luxurious crystal chandelier casts a soft and ambiguous glow.

The heavy velvet curtains shut out the noise from the outside world, leaving only the sound of their increasingly warm breathing.

Shen Youyou was half-held and pressed down on the soft bed by Ning Xiuyang, her skirt spread out like a blue iris quietly blooming in the night. Her cheeks were flushed, and her eyes were shimmering with tears, showing both girlish shyness and anticipation for unknown pleasure.

Ning Xiuyang leaned down, his warm breath brushing against her earlobe, his deep voice carrying a captivating magnetism: "Youyou, you look so beautiful today."

His hand explored slowly and deliberately, and wherever it touched, it seemed to ignite tiny electric currents, causing Shen Youyou's body to tremble involuntarily.

She closed her eyes, her long eyelashes like butterfly wings, her heart pounding like a drum, ready to welcome the intimacy she had already rehearsed countless times in her mind.

However, just as Ning Xiuyang's lips were about to touch hers, Shen Youyou suddenly seemed to remember something, opened her eyes abruptly, and reached out her hands to block his firm chest.

"etc!"

Ning Xiuyang stopped moving, a hint of confusion flashing in his deep eyes, but he still patiently asked softly, "What's wrong?"

"I...I have a question for you." Shen Youyou bit her lower lip, her previously dazed eyes now showing a hint of clarity and stubbornness. "I won't talk about you and Lulu, but what about your feelings for Mengmeng and Tang Wei...?"

She couldn't bring herself to ask, but her meaning was crystal clear.

She could accept Ning Xiuyang's womanizing ways, but she could never accept that her man was a promiscuous man.

Ning Xiuyang understood immediately upon hearing this, but remained outwardly calm, simply chuckling, "What are you thinking? They're your roommates, how could they possibly be related? They're just sworn siblings. We didn't even include you on our sworn brotherhood ceremony, don't you understand my feelings? Besides, even if I had feelings for them, they wouldn't agree!"

"Don't lie to me!" Shen Youyou wrinkled her nose slightly, asking with a hint of coquettishness.

Looking into the girl's eyes, which seemed to say, "Give me a reasonable explanation," Ning Xiuyang chuckled inwardly. He was about to use the excuse he had already prepared to gloss over the matter when his phone in his pocket suddenly started buzzing.

It's a request for a WeChat video call.

The two of them looked down at the same time, and the incoming call display on the screen instantly froze the already ambiguous atmosphere in the room.

[Tolerance]

Shen Youyou's pupils suddenly contracted, and she almost instinctively uttered, "My mom?"

She sat up abruptly in bed, snatched Ning Xiuyang's phone, and the familiar profile picture and contact name on the screen caused her mind to go blank for a moment.

Why is Ning Xiuyang's WeChat contact for his mother? And why is the nickname for her so intimate?

Ning Xiuyang's heart skipped a beat, realizing something was wrong. He had indeed sent Shen Yourong a message before going to bed last night, telling her to prepare to sign with his newly established Zhengyang Media, but he hadn't expected her to call him at this crucial moment.

"Why...why would she video call you?"

Shen Youyou's voice trembled uncontrollably. She raised her head and stared intently at Ning Xiuyang, as if trying to see right through him.

"Your mom?"

"No way?"

Ning Xiuyang feigned composure and asked Shen Youyou in a surprised tone.

Before Shen Youyou could speak, he continued calmly, "This is a streamer I came across on Douyin a while ago. Her streaming style is pretty good, I've given her quite a few tips, and I'm even thinking of signing her."

"Sign it?" Shen Youyou asked, her eyes wide with suspicion.

Ning Xiuyang shrugged and nodded, "Yeah, I have an MCN that can train streamers. I'm currently looking for streamers online, and it just so happens that she... uh, it just so happens that your mom hasn't signed with an MCN company yet..."
