Pursuing Her Best Friend after Confession Failed

Chapter 587 - 212: Welcome Madam to Inspect the Work, Naming the Milk Tea Brand_2

Li Yuan checked the time. It was already 11:30 AM, and his family was waiting for him to come home for dumplings.

"Director Lin, I’ll leave this to you. I’ve got something to take care of."

"Sure thing, Director Li, you go ahead." Lin Yuwei was supervising the installation and testing, and she answered hurriedly when she heard Li Yuan was leaving.

Li Yuan said goodbye to Liu Jia and the others, then prepared to head home for his meal.

He was just about to drive away when, suddenly, a tall, beautiful figure appeared in his field of vision, approaching him gracefully.

"Senior!"

Zhong Tingyue’s voice was as melodious and enchanting as ever, utterly intoxicating.

Li Yuan’s eyes lit up as he took in Zhong Tingyue’s outfit. He was somewhat dazzled, and his heart began to pound.

Because, today, Zhong Tingyue was wearing white silk stockings...

Li Yuan felt his mouth go dry, his eyes glued to Zhong Tingyue’s long legs, almost drooling. This seemingly cold goddess was a perfect specimen, as if painstakingly sculpted by the goddess Nuwa herself.

"Little Moon, why are you here?"

Seeing Li Yuan staring right at her didn’t bother Zhong Tingyue in the slightest. In fact, she was delighted. Her trip back to the dorm to change into her battle armor hadn’t been in vain.

She gave Li Yuan a coquettish glance and hummed playfully, "Hehe, am I not allowed to come?"

"Of course you are. Welcome, Madam, to your inspection tour." Li Yuan chuckled, deliberately emphasizing the word "Madam."

Zhong Tingyue strode forward on her long legs, bringing with her a faint, refreshing fragrance. She reached out with a slender hand, tilted Li Yuan’s chin up, and shot him a flirtatious, seductive wink.

"Well then, My Lord, are you going to show me around the company?"

Teased by Zhong Tingyue’s intimate gesture, Li Yuan raised an eyebrow. In one swift motion, he wrapped an arm around her slim waist and pulled her into his embrace. He brought her close, his lips near her nose, listening to her quickened breaths as he teased with a chuckle, "Madam, what’s so interesting about the company? I suddenly feel we should be doing something more important."

The public display of intimacy sent Zhong Tingyue’s heart fluttering. A blush crept across her jade-like cheeks, and her large, watery eyes gazed deeply at Li Yuan. Biting her lip, she parted her teeth, her breath as fragrant as an orchid.

"My Lord, what important thing do you want to do?"

"Explore the structure of the human body and study the science of genetic inheritance."

PFFT!

Li Yuan’s deadpan delivery made Zhong Tingyue burst out laughing.

She gently tapped his forehead with her slender fingers, her beautiful eyes widening as she scolded coquettishly, "My Lord, you have a way of making lechery sound so refined and unconventional. Have you no shame?"

Li Yuan grinned. "With a little temptress like you around, how could I not be?"

With that, he lowered his head and pressed his lips against Zhong Tingyue’s sexy, alluring cherry-red mouth...

A long moment passed before a sharp pinch on his waist made Li Yuan pull back. He looked at the goddess in his arms, her cheeks flushed and her eyes hazy with passion, and ran his tongue over his lips.

"TSK TSK, so sweet!"

"Senior, you’re so bad!"

Zhong Tingyue shot a shy glare at Li Yuan, who was acting like a complete rogue, and wriggled out of his embrace.

"Hehe, it’s not like you just found that out today." Li Yuan reined in the wild thoughts racing through his mind. "Little Moon, come with me!"

He took her small hand and led her to the front of the research office. Pointing at the bustling workers inside, he began to explain.

"Little Moon, look. This is the startup base the university gave me. It has two classrooms with a total area of about 300 square meters. The electricity, water, and internet are all installed..."

"I’m planning to use this as the operations base for the ’Zhihu’ website for now. We’re currently installing all the office equipment, and it should be up and running by Monday..."

Zhong Tingyue intently watched the vibrant scene at the startup base, her gaze occasionally flicking to Li Yuan. This man, who had captured her heart and haunted her thoughts, was becoming more and more of an enigma. From the moment they met, he had been constantly surprising her, drawing her in until she found herself irresistibly lost in him.

"Senior, you’re really amazing!"

Li Yuan chuckled, pulling Zhong Tingyue into his arms and kissing her forehead. "Hehe, that’s a given. I’m your husband, after all. I have to be amazing in all respects."

"Hmph!" Zhong Tingyue scoffed playfully, understanding his innuendo.

Li Yuan stroked her long, flowing hair and smiled. "By the way, Madam, I have one more thing to report to you."

Zhong Tingyue gave him a coy look. "Speak, My Lord!"

Li Yuan smiled. "Regarding the bubble tea shop, the locations and other details are already sorted out. I’ve initially chosen ten spots, and we’ve agreed on the price. We just need to sign the contracts and finalize the transfers. After that, we can start renovations, recruit staff, set up a warehouse, find suppliers, and handle all the subsequent matters..."

"Madam, have you thought of a name for our family’s bubble tea chain?"

Hearing Li Yuan bring up the bubble tea shop himself, Zhong Tingyue’s eyes blinked, and she was deeply touched.

This was his promise to her: to open a bubble tea shop together and build it into a nationally famous brand.

He hadn’t forgotten.

Zhong Tingyue looked at Li Yuan’s face and said softly, "My Lord, I’ve thought of a few names. Would you like to hear them?"

Li Yuan nodded and smiled. "Of course, Little Moon. Any name you choose is sure to be beautiful."
