Chapter 205 Thinking Awry

Chapter 205: Chapter 205 Thinking Awry

... She sent back six ellipses, not knowing how to continue.

If it weren’t for the fact that he sent a voice message, she would have doubted it was really him.

Yet that voice was fatally attractive, sending a shiver through her body as if she were struck by electricity, numbing her utterly.

Her grip on her phone loosened, and it slipped from her hand. Frantically catching it, she accidentally hit the voice message and, simultaneously, the volume up button.

The volume blasted to maximum, making the sound even clearer, doubling in intensity, and she could even hear the buzzing of his breath.

...

Two voice messages, totaling less than ten seconds, had played before she could fully register what had happened.

Her mind still blank, the message notification sound startled her, and she immediately turned the volume down to the lowest.

He sent another voice message.

This time, his voice was a whisper, spoken very close to the microphone, barely audible.

Only when she turned the volume back up, nearly to the maximum, could she finally make out what he was saying,

"Now I’m outside, not in a good position for a full-body shot, wait till I get back and I’ll take one for you, good girl~"

Yun Yue: "..."

She sent back an emoji with a deadpan smile. [I didn’t expect you to be this kind of Master Chen!]

Even more flirtatious than Feng Ye and Nan Jingchen.

[This ’full-body shot’ is not what you think; just get Feng Ye to take one and send it.]

She couldn’t hold back any longer, deciding it was time to correct his thinking, afraid he might say something more shocking later.

This time, he did not reply.

Instead, he called her. After hesitating for a moment, she cleared her throat, making sure she sounded normal, and answered the call.

"Sister Yue, are you perhaps misinterpreting things?" Xiao Chen’s side was quiet, his lips curled with a teasing smile in his eyes.

"What is there for me to misinterpret? It was clearly you who started it." She stared coldly at the phone, her voice indifferent. Ever since he asked her for a photo, he’d been acting strangely, whereas she felt utterly normal.

"Is that so? Wasn’t it you who wanted the revealing photo?" Xiao Chen’s voice was low and magnetic, flirtatious, especially towards Yun Yue, where he was at his best.

"Wasn’t it you who wanted a full-body shot? Besides, I really never take photos when I’m out. Of course, I’ll have to go back to take one for you."

Brilliant!

A legion of "facepalms" raced through her mind—so in the end, it was she who had thought twistedly?

His recent whisper was just like speaking of something clandestine, who wouldn’t get the wrong idea!

Before she could retort, another whisper came through the phone softly.

"If you really want a ’full-body shot’, it’s not impossible, you know! I won’t ask Feng Ye to do it later, I’ll take it myself; you can have as many as you want."

Yun Yue: "..."

This time, her phone really did drop from her grip, falling to the ground as she stood frozen, not bothering to pick it up.

"Hello? Sister Yue, are you still there? Feeling shy?"

Yun Yue: Shy my foot!

She didn’t respond, but hung up the call with her foot pressing the screen.

On Xiao Chen’s end, hearing the "beep beep" disconnect tone, his lips lifted into a pleased smile, contentedly looking around the room, "Where were we? Let’s continue."

He guessed the other sound, which resembled the noise of a slipper hitting the floor, was probably her hanging up the call with her foot.

She was just like a child, her angry demeanor so pridefully cute.

The entire roomful of people: "..."

One by one, they stared, gobsmacked, at Master Chen who was smiling at the front of the room.

Just moments ago, during the project report, he had a stern face, frowning as if he was unsatisfied with a garbage report, but after a single phone call, he was laughing.

Indeed!

They hadn’t seen it wrong!

Master Chen, he smiled!

And it was like a breath of spring!

So much so that it left everyone in the room flabbergasted!

One by one, with their hearts in their throats, they wondered if he was holding back some nasty plot against them.

"Speaking of the cooperation with Tianqi Group..." The presenter cautiously looked towards Xiao Chen.

Who didn’t know that Master Chen and Tianqi Group had a history!

He had been reluctantly pushed forward to give this report, and no matter how good the project was, anything associated with Tianqi Group was doomed to be criticized.

"Mhm, continue."

"..."

"Good, this was initiated by Tianqi Group..." The person was insanely excited. Master Chen had no intention of offending anyone; he even had a smile on his face, so the speaker hurried to finish everything while Chen was still in a good mood.

Zhai Quan’s eyes widened in disbelief. Was this the Master Chen he knew?

Playing with his phone and sending voice messages during a meeting was one thing, but actually making a call and bringing the entire meeting to a halt? Then everyone watched him on the phone.

They couldn’t hear what he was saying from so far away, but his expression made it clear he was thrilled.

They detected the sour smell of love.

But that was impossible!

If Master Chen didn’t even give Ji Ling the time of day, who could it be?

He couldn’t possibly be in love!

Maybe he was talking to his mother.

Feng Ye knew from his expression that he was talking to a kid. Only a kid could affect him like that.

"That’s fine, we’ll go with this one." Xiao Chen’s indifferent voice reached everyone’s ears.

It was slightly colder than before, but still not bad.

"Master Chen, about this project, I think there are some areas that need improvement. Would you reconsider?" The presenter’s lack of confidence showed; he feared being blamed if the project didn’t turn out well.

Xiao Chen, with his head bowed and two buttons of his collar undone, revealing the seductive curve of his throat, had shed his usual cold demeanor and was surprisingly amenable, "No need, it’s quite good. Next."

"Good." He sat down, feeling utterly unsettled, as if he were in a dream.

Holy shit!

This was the fastest approval by Master Chen ever!

Normally, their proposals and projects would have to undergo relentless nitpicking and scolding, followed by countless revisions before finally being approved. Today, Chen had agreed so easily!

It was like a red rain had fallen from the sky!

Seeing this, the others immediately scrambled to give their reports.

What a joke!

Who knew if Master Chen would snap at any moment?

It was best to get through while he was in a good mood—what if he took a call later and suddenly changed his tune?

Despite the rush, each meeting always had a set order, so fighting for a spot was futile. The next person to report was also thrilled and spoke as quickly as possible, then their project was approved.

...

A meeting that lasted five hours, continuing until six in the morning. They were dead tired from the all-nighter and overtime, but no one dared leave—not even dare to yawn—until Xiao Chen said they could.

Luckily, after that phone call, he was very approachable, and everyone’s proposals and projects were approved. Only the person who reported before the call was out of luck.

Why couldn’t that call have come earlier!

Xiao Chen checked the time; it was already six o’clock in the morning. Rubbing his temples with a raspy voice, he said, "You’ve all worked hard. Take a day off; come back to work tomorrow."

They all started to smile, "Thank you, Master Chen."

It was tiring, sure, but the pay was really good, and so were the benefits—staying up all night occasionally wasn’t so bad.
