Chapter 775: Chapter 772: Cousin, I’m Here

“Cousin, I’m here.”

In the office doorway, carrying a small bag and waggling her buttocks excitedly, she ran toward Nangong Bing.

Huahua was fine, particularly Liu Tangtang, who squinted her crescent-moon-shaped eyes, looking as innocent as ever.

“Why have you two come here?”

Nangong Bing looked at them both with a smile that was tinged with exasperation.

“Cousin, it was so boring at home. It was just me and Tangtang, and the beast hasn’t come back. It’s just not right. It’s slightly more lively here with you. Oh, right, cousin, where are we going for dinner tonight?”

Huahua sat down on the sofa with a flop, gazing around the familiar office. Sometimes she felt sad as she had lost her father, but the young girl had come to terms with it; everyone dies sooner or later, and sadness was pointless.

“Tonight, I haven’t decided yet,” Nangong Bing replied.

“Then how about I, Ye Xiangtian, play host tonight? But I’m not sure if Miss Nangong would honor me with her presence.”

Just then, Ye Xiangtian, who had entered the office door at some unknown time, was smiling amiably at everyone inside.

(I’m sorry for the late update today. Huahua went out for some errands today. Please forgive me, sorry.)

“The person I didn’t want to see still showed up.”

Huahua rolled her eyes, already somewhat tired of Ye Xiangtian’s shamelessness.

“It seems Miss Huahua doesn’t have a very favorable impression of me,” Ye Xiangtian said as he walked up, smiling amiably and sweeping his gaze over them.

“It’s not directly about being friendly; I just don’t want to see certain people acting like headless flies all the time. It’s really annoying.”

Huahua did not hide her disgust for Ye Xiangtian.

“I wonder, where did I, Ye, go wrong to earn such a poor impression from Miss Huahua?” Ye Xiangtian squinted at her, then turned to Nangong Bing and said, “Miss Nangong, I have a banquet tonight at the Royal Hotel, I wonder if Miss Nangong would do me the honor of attending?”

“Sorry, I’m not really into public gatherings.”

From the moment Ye Xiangtian entered, Nangong Bing hardly wanted to give him a second glance, her disdain apparent.

“At this banquet, there will be many business elites, including many internet tycoons, and executives from some e-commerce platforms. It holds huge potential for the future development of Tianyu Group, so I really hope Miss Nangong could grace the occasion.”

Despite Nangong Bing’s utter lack of courtesy, Ye Xiangtian’s thick skin was nearly impervious to insult.

His gaze was piercing as he spoke, with a hint of a threat in his tone.

The subtext being: If you don’t attend, Tianyu might lose support in the internet sector.

“Mr. Ye, I appreciate your kind offer, but I think it would be better if you attended that kind of gathering yourself. Now that you already own 45% of Tianyu Group, I would think, with your business acumen, you should be able to manage that, right?”

Nangong Bing’s delicate and cold face remained completely composed.

“Heh, Miss Nangong, it’s not really like that. Seeing as Tianyu is going to venture into e-commerce and the internet, I believe those internet giants will definitely think Miss Nangong lacks sincerity if she doesn’t show up. You, as one of Zhonghai’s business leaders, should understand this.”

Over these days, Ye Xiangtian had harassed Nangong Bing several times a day, but this woman was like millennium-old ice, impervious to any tactic he used, her heart never softening in the slightest toward Ye Xiangtian.
