So all the wives were waiting for me to break up with them.

"You do your important business, and I'll do my private business. We can leave each other alone, okay?" Chen Tangtang patted her chest heavily, looking very magnanimous.

"..."

Yun Mingyue clearly couldn't handle someone like Chen Tangtang, and was left speechless by her. She then turned her gaze to Zhou You.

Zhou You felt uneasy being stared at by the two older women. They placed their equally beautiful feet on their hands, their eyes full of 'teasing', inviting someone to come forward and play with them.

Do you think Zhou You would dare to make a move?

He gripped the doorknob, swallowed hard, and offered a suggestion, "Actually, I have an idea."

"Tell me about it."

"Since you're looking for a teacher, the most important thing is the teaching quality, so..."

Zhou You walked to the bedside and began to take off his shoes.

"...How about I guide you two to give me a massage?"

Yun Mingyue was slightly taken aback, while Chen Tangtang blinked.

. . . . . .

It's a new day. Of course, Yun Mingyue couldn't actually give Zhou You a foot massage yesterday, but his interruption allowed him to smoothly defuse what wasn't exactly a chaotic situation.

Actually, Chen Tangtang really wants to give it a try...

It's worth mentioning that he also captured a very precious third photo, further enriching his collection.

"Chairman, you wanted to see me?" Zhou You stood straight in front of Yun Mingyue, dressed neatly and appropriately. After being reminded by Yun Mingyue earlier, he even went out and bought a new set of clothes.

Yun Mingyue's gaze kept drifting to Zhou You's right cheek, the spot where she had kissed him yesterday, leaving her with a dazed expression.

She didn't sleep well last night, constantly thinking about what happened at the foot massage parlor.

No matter how you look at it, this was the first time she had ever kissed a man, and even if it was just a kiss on the cheek, it still had a huge impact on her.

She absentmindedly took a stack of documents out of the drawer. "You should be going to university in a few days."

“Yes.” Zhou You nodded.

Thud!

Yun Mingyue tapped the table lightly with her finger, her eyes unfocused. She probably had to rehearse in her mind to be able to communicate "normally" like this.

"You know this company has a partnership with the government, so I can actually add an evaluation to your file that will be very helpful if you want to take the civil service exam in the future."

After she finished speaking, she seemed to be quietly waiting for Zhou You's reaction, but in fact she was lost in thought and didn't know what she was thinking.

Zhou You thought about these words for a moment and felt that he shouldn't miss this opportunity.

"I will earn your approval, Chairman, through my abilities."

I believe in your potential.

After finishing the business, Zhou You looked at Yun Mingyue, who was clearly out of sorts today, and leaned closer to call out softly, "Chairman?"

"Um?!"

Yun Mingyue's reaction was several times more intense than he had imagined. Her body trembled violently, her back pressed against the chair back, and she said nervously, "Don't come any closer!"

"Then... I'll head back now?"

Zhou You left after all. After he left, Yun Mingyue was panting slightly. She had never been nervous when flirting with him before, so why did she feel so strange today?

She ran her fingers lightly over her lips. "What would it feel like to kiss?"

"..."

Yun Mingyue buried her head in her hands and slumped onto the table. What was she thinking? You need to calm down. You are the dignified and authoritative CEO!

She lay there for a while, then straightened up, patted her face, and took a deep breath.

"It's just a kiss on the cheek, it's nothing, humph."

That's right, she had to pull herself together and not give Zhou You a chance to take the initiative. Even if something really happened, she would be on top!

"When the time comes, I'm going to pose him in eighteen different ways."

Yun Mingyue's expression was 'fierce'. As expected of President Yun, she adjusted her demeanor very quickly, but...

The method was just a bit strange.

31. The moon is so beautiful tonight.

When Zhou You returned to the secretariat, it was lunchtime. The female secretaries were either going downstairs or ordering takeout, each with their own methods.

Zhou You prepared a bento box for himself, as he is a good cook. The reason for this was that Yun Daidai needed the two of them to eat bento boxes together in front of their classmates to show their affection.

To satisfy Yun Daidai, who grew up eating dishes prepared by various star chefs, he put in a lot of effort over three years.

Yun Daidai's performance during his most confident moment still leaves a deep impression on him.

Not perfect.

That was Yun Daidai's evaluation at that time. It was already very delicious, but he adjusted it countless times to suit her taste.

She dismissed everything with just one sentence that it wasn't perfect. Maybe she just needed a perfect tool?

That was the first time Zhou You lied to Yun Daidai. He smiled in front of her to hide his emotions, and the last bit of love he had for her was worn away. He finally realized that he should not continue to be manipulated by Yun Daidai.

That year was my senior year of high school, neither too early nor too late.

"Little Zhou, what are you thinking about?" A pair of bamboo chopsticks reached out, trying to take an egg roll from the lunchbox.

Zhou You used his chopsticks to block them, feeling helpless towards these older women who always tried to freeload off him and even wanted to get him drunk.

"This is the third time today that you've secretly taken my food. I'm really bothered by this."

"Okay." Tang Qiaohua, the female secretary who had handed Zhou You her business card earlier, put away her chopsticks with regret.

She held up three fingers and said, "You're such a good cook, I really want to take you home and have you cook for me every day. I could definitely eat three big bowls of rice."

People around her jeered and mocked her, saying, "Aren't you afraid of stuffing yourself to death by eating so much?"

"So what if I'm stuffed? I like the feeling of being full." Tang Qiaohua muttered some strange words.

Zhou You shook his head and walked out of the office, preparing to go downstairs to buy a drink.

He had just arrived downstairs when someone came running towards him from a distance. It was someone everyone could guess who appeared in front of him...

Yun Daidai.

As expected, she came looking for him. Zhou You had anticipated this. He wouldn't actively seek out Yun Daidai, but if Yun Daidai bumped into him on her own, it would be a different story.

However, Yun Daidai's next move still shocked him somewhat.

"I've prepared a bento box for you. I hope you like it." Yun Daidai handed over the food box wrapped in floral cloth. Now that she had made up her mind, she certainly wouldn't hesitate any longer.

Zhou You looked down at Yun Daidai, who was bending down to hand him the lunchbox. When this moment actually arrived, his feelings were quite complicated.

And I even prepared a bento box for him.

It makes you want to laugh involuntarily.

"Perhaps I should eat some and then tell you it's terrible?" Zhou You remained relatively calm, and what he said was probably true; the young lady's cooking skills could hardly be good.

"What do you think?" He gave the choice to Yun Daidai.

Knowing that the answer is already predetermined, what would she choose?

Yun Daidai's hand trembled slightly as she firmly handed the bento box forward again, "You'll definitely change your mind after you eat it."

Could this be considered one of her strengths? Her indomitable spirit and pride?

"Forget it," Zhou You shook his head. "Don't do something so meaningless."

"Please, try it, please." Yun Daidai pleaded as she forcefully shoved the lunchbox into Zhou You's hands. A few months ago, she would never have dreamed that she would do such a thing.

The arrogant young lady not only prepared a bento box with all her heart, but also humbly begged him to taste it.

"..."

"Okay, I'll give it a try."

Zhou You nodded and opened the bento box in front of Yun Daidai. It looked pretty good and probably wouldn't taste bad.

If Yun Daidai had done this a year ago, he would probably have been very moved.

Now...

He moved slowly and ate his bento box with a serious expression, waiting until he had tasted everything.

"I was going to say it was awful, but this bento box really surprised me. It tastes alright." Zhou You really felt Yun Daidai's sincerity in her bento box.

He continued, seeing Yun Daidai's surprised expression, "But I only want to try it once. I hope you can do less of these things that bother me in the future."

His attitude was very sincere. The fact that he brought the lunchbox was indeed a bit too intimate for the two of them now. If he said something nice, it would definitely give Yun Daidai the illusion that the two of them could get back together.

"Waaaaah~~" Yun Daidai touched the burn on the back of her hand. Hearing Zhou You's still heartless words, she felt as if her heart had been shattered, and tears welled up uncontrollably.

How pathetic.

Zhou You watched expressionlessly. He should have been even more ruthless, perhaps by repeating Yun Daidai's lines from back then.

First it's 'Go back and do it again,' then 'Do it again,' then 'Try harder,' then 'Put your heart into it,' and finally, when all else fails, it's just 'Not perfect enough'?

But he didn't do that. Was it because he lacked the energy? Or did he want her to suffer for longer? He couldn't quite put his finger on it.

Zhou You only knew that he should probably think about how to stop this stubborn young lady from always trying to please him.

Although this feeling is great...

"I'm fine." Yun Daidai took out the small handkerchief Zhou You had given her to wipe away her tears, squatted down to put away the lunchbox, hugged it tightly to her chest, and left with faltering steps.

Zhou You stood there for a while, the taste of Yun Daidai's bento still lingering in his mouth. He smacked his lips and quickly calmed down after Yun Daidai left.

He would only have strange thoughts when he saw her. After all, she was a living person there, and he, a recent high school graduate, was not yet at the point where he could truly ignore her as if she were air.

But that's all. Yun Daidai was ultimately just an ex-girlfriend. If she didn't appear in front of him, he wouldn't even think of her.

Aren't older women more appealing?

.........

The older women in the secretariat were a little excited and reluctant to part with Zhou You when they learned that he was about to go to university.
