I was exposed for adding my female boss to my group of female friends.

Even the most caring person would be exhausted by someone like Lu Ai'ai. Besides, he's even more averse to trouble than most people.

Gu Yuqing's words seemed to strengthen Lu Aiai's resolve to leave. Her gaze became more determined, as if some resilient part of her soul had been touched in a stress response.

She walked towards the front door almost without hesitation.

Gu Yuqing then said, "Hey, didn't you say you'd let her tell me in person when she wakes up? Why don't you ask her?"

Chen Ya clenched his fist. He wanted to tell the woman not to go too far, but for him, wasn't this also an opportunity to clear his name?

"Lu Aiai, please wait a moment, um..."

Lu Aiai immediately turned around and tilted her head to look at him.

Chen Ya scratched his head, feeling even more guilty than before, and carefully chose his words: "The thing is, this Ms. Gu is very curious about our relationship..."

Lu Aiai stared at him with her clear eyes: "Mm."

"Ok?"

"so?"

"So, what kind of relationship should we have? Can you stand tall and tell this Ms. Gu loudly?" Chen Ya said with a fake smile.

Sitting behind him, Gu Yuqing's anger level rose by 20%. She felt that Chen Ya's way of addressing her made her sound old.

“Relationship.” Lu Aiai repeated the word, followed by a long silence. Judging from her expression, she seemed like a student who had encountered a definition question and was racking her brains to find the correct meaning.

"Hmm, what should our relationship be?" Chen Ya gave her an encouraging look.

"couple?"

"Don't joke with me at a time like this."

Although Chen Ya did not turn around, he immediately sensed the murderous intent rising from Gu Yuqing's side behind him.

“...it’s a legal relationship,” Lu Aiai continued, “We don’t have any similar legal relationship, such as father and daughter, mother and son, or brother and sister. None of them.”

"Wow, thank you for telling me we're not mother and son."

Lu Aiai tilted her head and said, "You're welcome."

"..." Chen Ya didn't want to say anything.

Lu Aiai continued her relationship-based reasoning: "Then, a lover?"

"It's a non-legal relationship, right!" Chen Ya raised his voice, answering for her, "We obviously don't have that kind of relationship!"

“Hmm.” Lu Aiai nodded approvingly. “Because the premise of this kind of relationship is that both parties or one of them have a legally recognized spousal relationship, but neither of us has one.”

"Yes, your explanation is very rigorous from a scientific point of view, but from a practical point of view, it's nothing! Even disregarding a legal point of view, we have no basis for such a relationship!"

For the first time, Chen Ya felt that complaining was exhausting.

“Hmm…so, what kind of relationship should we have?” Lu Aiai said, “excluding the legal relationship.”

Chen Ya pressed his forehead: "...You're asking me? Just say we're friends, wouldn't that be enough?"

"Huh? Are we?"

"Is not it?"

"Who says you're a friend?"

"..."

Chen Ya was injured. And the source of the injury was an unexpected person.

Ever since he met Lu Aiai, he had never thought that this silly beauty could cause him this level of psychological trauma.

there has never been.

"Our relationship is one where you need to be responsible for me," Lu Aiai finally gave the authoritative definition.

On the sofa, Gu Yuqing couldn't sit still any longer: "No wonder you took care of her all night yesterday. It looked like you were taking care of one person, but you were actually taking care of two, right? And the baby in her belly too."

"No, no, no, it's a misunderstanding, a huge misunderstanding," Chen Ya hugged Lu Aiai's shoulders. "Please, can you not use such misleading language? For the sake of me taking care of you all night yesterday?"

"So you really did take care of her all night?" Gu Yuqing said sourly from behind.

Lu Aiai thought for a moment and said, "It's a relationship between a criminal and a victim."

"I actually find this explanation a bit easier to accept than the previous one!"

Lu Aiai said very seriously, word by word, "Sinner, I have important things to do and no time to play with you. I'm leaving."

Lu Aiai walked to the door, then turned back, touched herself, and then looked up at Chen Ya with her clear eyes.

It took Chen Ya several seconds to understand what she meant.

"Oh, your clothes looked so dirty, so I washed them for you, but they're still not dry."

Lu Ai'ai followed his finger and looked towards the balcony, where her white coat basked peacefully in the sunlight.

"Uh……"

The girl's face showed discomfort, then she looked at Chen Ya with a reproachful expression, questioning him with her eyes.

"Another sin has been added."

"This is also a sin? This is like ungrateful people taking kindness for granted!"

Not having this white coat seemed to be a bigger headache for her than having a fever.

Chen Ya sighed and walked towards his bedroom, saying, "...It's a bit chilly today, wear one of my clothes."

He took a beige trench coat from his wardrobe and draped it over the girl's shoulders.

Lu Aiai obediently cooperated by raising her arm and slipping into the trench coat, which was much larger than her body. She lowered her hand, covering it with her sleeve, creating a cute, adorable look.

The clothes were too loose for her. Originally the same style worn by Nicholas Tse in "New Police Story", they looked like a white coat 2.0 on Lu Aiai. She tugged at the clothes with her hands, seemingly very uncomfortable with this new skin.

Chen Ya rolled up her sleeves and said:

"This is the closest thing to your white coat that I have. Just wear it as is."

Lu Aiai walked to the door, turned around, and said, "I'll be back at 8 p.m.

"..." Chen Ya pretended not to understand.

Gu Yuqing crossed her arms and legs, coldly observing everything. She watched Lu Aiai leave, and only spoke after the door closed:

"Finally gone. I've had enough of your couple's stand-up comedy."

"..." Chen Ya sat down silently, clasped his hands together on the sofa to calm himself down, "Now you should understand, I didn't lie, right?"

Gu Yuqing avoided the topic, looking at him critically: "I think you're quite gentle with her."

"Really?" Chen Ya couldn't tell if she was being sarcastic or serious.

"It's just like taking care of a girlfriend."

Okay, now you can hear the sarcasm.

"Are you this warm to all girls?" Gu Yuqing asked again, "After gaining their trust, you just play with them and then discard them?"

"What do you think? How do you think I treat you?" Chen Ya asked in return.

Gu Yuqing gave a cold "humph," her expression as cold as ice, but there was a hint of her emotions crumbling beneath the surface.

Because she remembered that Chen Ya had helped her fend off harassment at the bar before, and he hadn't taken advantage of her while she was drunk (even though she had given him so many opportunities), so it was definitely not frivolous behavior.

"You didn't lie to me about your girlfriend, but as for everything else... hmph. Anyway, let's not talk about that. Are you still in pain?"

Gu Yuqing placed her hand on Chen Ya's leg, the very spot where she had just given him a hard pinch on the crotch.

"Yes, it feels like the skin is broken."

"Really? Don't play the victim." Gu Yuqing pressed down hard on his leg, and only when she saw Chen Ya's slightly furrowed brows did she finally believe him, but deep down she couldn't help but feel a little regretful.

Although she just said that "squeezing your hip" was revenge for Chen Ya lying to her that he was sick, this revenge was somewhat venting her anger after seeing Lu Aiai, and it was a bit too much.

"If you're not happy, I can give you a massage too." Gu Yuqing offered her right leg, her fair and gleaming thigh beneath her shorts was quite eye-catching.

"No, no." Chen Ya looked away and picked up his phone. "The company started developing the hit product I mentioned today. I should have been keeping an eye on it."

"Really? How come it's so fast? What game is it?" Gu Yuqing asked.

Chen Ya stood up and said, "Come on, come with me to take a look."

Gu Yuqing found it hard to believe that he could act so quickly. Developing a game requires time, from market research to project approval; how could someone change course yesterday and start working on it today?

However, given the current situation, it seems that not acting quickly is not an option. The window of opportunity is only six months; they don't have that much time to waste.

She decided to go and take a look at Chen Ya's company.

As the largest angel investor, this was her first time visiting Chen Ya's company.

"In what capacity should I visit you?" Gu Yuqing looked up and thought. "I don't really want to appear as an investor."

"Why? I don't quite understand your shyness," Chen Ya said as she changed her shoes.

“It’s not because I’m shy,” Gu Yuqing said seriously. “I’ve always been reluctant to visit other people’s companies as an investor, because that way I can’t see the real situation. I prefer random spot checks and undercover visits.”

"I understand, so it's a no-brainer, no-go approach, right?" Chen Ya finished changing his shoes. "Then you can go as a friend."

“Go as her lover,” Gu Yuqing said, blinking. “It’s perfectly normal for a young, successful business owner like you to have a lover.”

Chen Ya rolled her eyes and said in Lu Ai'ai's tone, "No, because the premise of this relationship is that both parties or one of them have a legally recognized spousal relationship."

"What's the big deal? Come on, let's start acting now. Help me put on my shoes." Gu Yuqing sat on the footstool by the door, kicked off her slippers, and stretched out her feet, which were clad in white socks.

Chen Ya had already provided this kind of service when they first met, so he remained completely calm. He held her round ankles in his hands and slipped her shoes on. Gu Yuqing got up and bounced around a couple of times, satisfied.

Chen Ya pushed open the door and stepped out. A jade-like arm gently slipped into the crook of his arm; he could feel its softness even through the clothes.

He really couldn't understand Gu Yuqing anymore.

She would be jealous and possessive, and she made no attempt to hide her affection for him, but Chen Ya had no doubt that if he proposed to date her, she would reject him without hesitation.

Just like the first time he told Gu Yuqing in the bar.

Chen Ya wondered if all daughters of wealthy families were like this, being terribly awkward in matters of the heart and frighteningly honest.

The scariest thing is that the young lady is now completely in control, and I can't do anything about her. This feeling is completely different from when I was dating Jiang Xinhai.

When he was dating Jiang Xinhai, he was much older than her. Xinhai had a kind of brotherly dependence on him, while Gu Yuqing was always his equal, and even had to be one step ahead of him.

This made him feel very uncomfortable.

The two drove to the newly established Beichen Company studio, which, after half a month of renovation and setup, was gradually taking shape.

In order to achieve a balance between rapid production and environmental protection, Chen Ya adopted the simplest decoration method in the company. However, the simplicity was not simple. A lot of effort was put into the decoration, and there was a special warm atmosphere when entering the company.

But when the two stepped into the company, Chen Ya found that the company today was not quite the same as he had imagined.

The company has more than 20 employees, all of whom are newly recruited, and they are all working silently and in an orderly manner.

Occasionally, someone would stand up to hand over the work, and they would always be brief and to the point.

On the surface, the atmosphere here doesn't seem to be great, but for some reason, it gives people a very "exciting" feeling.

It seems that these employees working silently are all collectively immersed in a certain atmosphere.

Gu Yuqing also noticed this feeling and looked at Chen Ya with some doubt.

Ishikawa Toru, whose workstation was at the very front of the office, saw Chen Ya approaching, took off his headphones, and walked towards the two of them.

"Brother Ya, weren't you supposed to be unable to come today? You still came."

He looked at Gu Yuqing with a slightly timid gaze, unsure of how to address her.

Before Gu Yuqing could spout nonsense, Chen Ya introduced her, saying, "This is my friend, President Gu. I brought her to see how the company is operating."

Gu Yuqing greeted her with a smile: "Hello!"

Ishikawa Akihiro blushed. He had little resistance to beautiful older sister-type characters.

"How's 'The Sheep' coming along?" Chen Ya asked.

"It's going very smoothly!" Ishikawa Toru said, getting excited. "The progress is unexpectedly smooth; I feel everyone's work efficiency is exceptionally high. However, Gai-ge, I have to be honest with you about something..."

"what happened?"

“Um, didn’t you make a background music track yesterday? When I listened to it this morning, my colleagues found out,” Ishikawa Tō said hesitantly. “They asked me for it, saying they wanted to create some atmosphere, so I sent it to them.”

Chen Ya narrowed his eyes: "It's been leaked online?"

“No, not at all,” Ishikawa Tō quickly shook his head. “It’s just that…it spread like wildfire, and now everyone wants to hear it. As a result, the entire company is listening to this song on repeat…”
