Chapter 23: Jumping into the Yellow River Won't Wash You Clean

But now it's different, now it must be clarified, otherwise what if others think the two of them are gay.

What's more, this onlooker misfortune happens to be Ye Xinluo.

I'm doomed...

Cursed inwardly. My mind was racing.

"Assistant Ye, it's really not what you think. The CEO and I are innocent."

Damn it.

Why does it feel darker and darker the more I explain?

It was all fine until I tried to explain; now it's more confusing.

It's like trying to wash away dirt in the Yellow River.

He could clearly feel that Ye Xinluo's gaze was getting stranger.

"Assistant Mo, I understand, I understand, you don't have to explain so much to me."

You understand nothing...

It's obvious that you're not buying my story at all...

Heavens, strike me down with lightning.

Forced a smile at Ye Xinluo, yet it looked worse than crying.

"You can leave now if there's nothing else."

Beichen Rui spoke faintly, his voice utterly calm.

Ye Xinluo understood and left the office.

Back at her desk.

She stared in shock at the direction of the CEO's office.

Could it be these two are gay?

Wow, seriously, such a bombshell, doing this in the office during broad daylight...

Rumors say Young Master Chen isn't into women, and he likes men; if the media catches wind, they'll be shocked to no end.

The more she thought about it, the more incredible it seemed.

Two men, doing that thing, plus what about having kids later on...

Haha, forgive me for my mischievous laughter, these two really gave me quite the scare...

Couldn't help it...

"What are you doing, laughing like an idiot?"

Someone tapped her on the shoulder from behind. Ye Xinluo was startled. She turned to see who was at the desk behind her.

Lan Shan was standing behind her with a cup, looking over.

Whew...

"Can you not scare me?"

Don't you know that people scaring people can really freak someone out?

"Hey, I've been calling you for ages, it's not my fault you didn't respond, who can you blame?"

"And what's making you so happy, laughing like a fool?"

"You're the fool here."

Ye Xinluo glared at her discontentedly.

"Come on, spill it. What's making you so happy? Share it with me."

"Alright, alright, I'll tell you."

Lan Shan leaned in closer, looking gossip-ready.

The CEO's office door opened at that moment, and Beichen Rui walked out with a cold face. Mo Han followed behind him.

Are these two done so quickly?

She glanced in their direction.

Her gaze scanned the two up and down.

Finally stopping at an indescribable part on Beichen Rui.

Could it be he's not capable in that area!

Some girl covered her face, blushing furiously.

So embarrassing...

Beichen Rui sensed someone looking at him and turned his head slightly.

His eyes fell on Ye Xinluo.

He chuckled inwardly.

No need to guess what images this woman is fantasizing about.

"Are you very free? Nothing to do?"

Ye Xinluo was shocked, jolted into looking down at her file.

"And you, why are you wandering around during work hours? Is all your work done?"

Beichen Rui turned his attention to Lan Shan.

Hmph.

Can't let these two stay together.

If not, in less than half an hour, the story between him and Mo Han would probably spread throughout the company.

"Let's have lunch together at noon."

Lan Shan said to Ye Xinluo, then quickly ran off.

The CEO is scary today.

Ordinarily, he doesn't even care about these things, why is he acting like a different person today?

The best strategy is to run away.

And she dashed off, disappearing quickly.

"Working here, what you should and shouldn't say, it's best to be clear about in your mind."

Beichen Rui said before striding away.

"Assistant Ye, it's really not what you think."

Please just forget about it!

Mo Han didn't say the rest directly.

With what he's said, she should understand what he wants to convey.

"Still not leaving?"

Beichen Rui's voice came again, with a hint of impatience.

Mo Han had no choice but to close his mouth and followed Beichen Rui out of the top floor.

The elevator doors closed, Ye Xinluo stared blankly at the direction of the elevator.

What did the CEO mean by what he just said?

Was he telling me not to speak of this?

Could it be the CEO and Assistant Mo really are in that kind of relationship?

Then...

What the CEO just said, does it mean he's protecting his partner?

No, Assistant Mo is a guy, you can't say he's protecting his wife.

Protecting his husband? No, that's not right.

They're both guys, if the CEO calls Assistant Mo husband...

Ew...

Just thinking about it gives me goosebumps.

Then it should be protecting his lover.

Hmm, that title barely makes sense.

Oh. My God.

What's happened to this world.

Has it gone fantasy?

Clearly, they're both so handsome, why ignore pretty girls and be in a same-sex relationship?

If this gets out, surely a lot of young hearts will shatter.

Since the CEO said it, I'll keep it a secret for now.

My poor Shan'er, you can't blame me, it's not that I don't want to share with you.

It's that a certain someone won't let me speak...

Sniff sniff...

The elevator continued downwards, directly to the underground parking lot.

Today Old Master Bei Chen is returning from the UK, arriving in Z City at noon.

They need to head to the airport in advance.

Mo Han sat in the driver's seat and started the car.

"Rui, do you think Assistant Ye will keep our secret?"

"I don't know."

Beichen Rui sat in the passenger seat, leaning his head against the window.

Last night he didn't sleep well, making him a bit drowsy now.

For some reason, last night, whenever he thought about that incident years ago, he felt inexplicably irritated.

He had no sleepiness until after three in the morning when he finally slept.

"Do you think... she really thinks we're gay?"

The car was silent for quite a while. Just when Beichen Rui felt himself drifting off, Mo Han suddenly blurted it out.

The drowsiness vanished instantly.

He glared at him, clearly annoyed. Having his rest disturbed was quite irritating.

"Who's to blame for that?"

Isn't it your own mess, and now you want me to solve it?

Mo Han instinctively retracted his neck, giving a cheeky grin.

"Boss, why don't you help me explain to Assistant Ye?"

"No time."

Even if there were, he wouldn't want to. It's troublesome, lazy to explain.

Let people think whatever they want.

It's not my business...

"Boss, please help me out."

Mo Han, with one hand on the wheel, leaned towards Beichen Rui.

Beichen Rui slapped his face. "Scram. Focus on driving."

"Boss, people's faces shouldn't be slapped, don't you know that?"

Is that so? How come I didn't know?

I think your face is asking for it.

"Boss, if you slap my handsome face out of shape, how can I woo girls?"

Persistently, he leaned his face even closer to Beichen Rui.

Looking at the face up close, he really wanted to give it a beating.

For crying out loud, can you not mess around on the highway?

"Grugh."

"What?" Mo Han was puzzled, not understanding what he meant.

"Do you want to try the feeling of flying?"

Beichen Rui swore that if he dared say yes, he would kick him out of the car without hesitation.
