Chapter 144

　However, this made their posture appear extremely ambiguous!

　　My lower abdomen and Chen Hui’s were pressed tightly together, and one of my hands was wrapped around Chen Hui’s slender waist, while the other hand was subconsciously placed on Chen Hui’s pert buttocks!

　　”It feels amazing!”

　　In that instant, a thought flashed through my mind, even though I had experienced this amazing elasticity more than once.

　　But none of them felt as real as this time.

　　I don’t know what I was thinking, but I instinctively pinched her firm and soft buttocks again.

　　”ah!”

　　Chen Hui screamed in panic as she was being squeezed, her eyes filled with anger as she pushed against my chest with both hands, “Tang Zheng, you bastard, let me go!”

　　”Let you go!” I was stunned for a moment, and my mind went blank.

　　”Let go!”

　　”Manager Chen, I… I didn’t mean to…” I murmured, then withdrew my hands from Chen Hui’s hips and waist.

　　”ah!”

　　Chen Hui screamed again, and her body, which had already lost its balance, fell to the ground once more.

　　With his legs still, his body involuntarily lurched towards the ground. If he fell, he would definitely get hurt.

　　No matter how rational or perceptive a person is, they will make many instinctive reactions when they fall, such as struggling or reaching out to grab something.

　　Chen Hui was not immune to this either. As she fell backward, she instinctively reached out and grabbed at the air, trying to maintain her balance.

　　I was startled too. I forgot what she had just said and, without caring what Chen Hui was thinking, reached out to grab her. She happened to grab my hand, and with a forceful pull, I lifted Chen Hui up!

　　She pulled her up, then frowned and said angrily, “Tang Zheng, you did this on purpose, didn’t you?”

　　”Manager Chen, I didn’t do it on purpose. I didn’t expect to bump into you. You insisted that I let go, so I did. When I saw you were about to fall, I pulled you up. How can that be considered intentional?” I said, somewhat amused and exasperated.

　　”I’ll settle this score with you later!”

　　Chen Hui glared at me fiercely, then turned and left, looking rather anxious and unable to contain herself.

　　I gave a wry smile and watched Chen Hui’s figure disappear into the restroom. I followed her into the men’s restroom to relieve myself, and then went outside.

　　Just then, I saw Chen Hui come out of the bathroom. When she saw me, she immediately turned her gaze to the side, washed her hands, and then straightened her clothes in front of the mirror.

　　Just as I was about to go wash my hands, a good-looking man suddenly walked over. As soon as he saw Chen Hui, a smile instantly appeared on his face, and he took three steps at a time towards Chen Hui.

　　”Huihui, what a coincidence, I didn’t expect to run into you here.”

　　The man was wearing a well-tailored suit, and his smile was as warm as a spring breeze. On the surface, he was impeccable.

　　I glanced at him a few times and felt that the man looked somewhat familiar, but after thinking for a while, I still couldn’t remember who he was.

　　”Yes, it is indeed a coincidence.” Chen Hui simply replied and turned to leave.

　　“Huihui, I apologize for what happened at the airport last time. Why don’t we go to my private room and I’ll apologize to you there?” the man said gently.

　　Speaking of airports, I immediately remembered—wasn’t that the man we met at the airport the night before last?

　　I didn’t expect this guy to be dressed like this; I didn’t even recognize him.

　　Although the man had a smile on his face, his eyes narrowed slightly, and a very subtle anger flashed in his eyes. Although the expression was very hidden, I happened to see it.

　　”No need,” Chen Hui replied coldly, glancing at me and giving me a knowing look before turning to leave.

　　”Huihui, today…” The man stood in front of Chen Hui, wanting to say something.

　　I understood Chen Hui’s gaze, and stepped forward, stopping the man just in time.

　　The fact that Chen Hui and I put on an act at the airport for this man shows that she doesn’t like him; otherwise, she wouldn’t have done that.

　　”Excuse me, sir, why are you addressing me like this? Don’t you think it’s impolite of you to keep bothering my girlfriend like this?” I said, frowning, in an unfriendly tone. “Sir, if you continue like this, I won’t be so polite.”

　　My words may have been unpleasant to hear, but the veins on the man’s temples bulged as he listened, and he probably recognized me.

　　He tilted his body slightly to the side and said stiffly, “It’s you!”

　　“I don’t know you, but your constant pestering of my girlfriend makes me very uncomfortable.”

　　I stared into his eyes and said, word by word, “If you do this again, don’t blame me for using my fists.”

　　“Darling, let me introduce you to Xiao.” Chen Hui walked to my side, took my arm and said, “This is Mr. Lin Chen.”

　　I never expected Chen Hui to take my arm again and call me “darling.” My heart started pounding wildly again. If my cousin and Chen Yao saw this, we’d be in deep trouble no matter what.

　　However, I also know that this was only something Chen Hui had to do out of necessity, and the most important thing right now is to get rid of this man.

　　”Oh, so it’s Mr. Lin! I’ve heard so much about you.”

　　Honestly, I had no idea who this Lin Chen was. While feigning politeness by saying “I’ve heard so much about you,” I said rudely, “But Mr. Lin, Huihui is my girlfriend now. Your constant pestering of her is not only impolite, but also shows a lack of character. If I were to pester your girlfriend like this next time, would you be happy?”

　　Anyway, now that Chen Hui is backing me up, as long as I don’t do anything outrageous, I figure Chen Hui can handle it. So I started to have some wishful thinking.

　　Once Chen Hui’s figure disappeared from sight, Lin Chen said coldly, “You keep saying Huihui is your girlfriend, I really don’t know where your sense of superiority comes from. Have you gotten her family’s approval?”

　　I ignored his words and instead said softly to Chen Hui, “You should go back first. This is a matter between men, and I will handle it.”

　　Chen Hui hesitated for a moment, then slowly nodded. “Okay, I’ll go back now. I’ll wait for you to come back.”

　　”Wait a moment.”

　　Seeing Chen Hui turn around and prepare to leave, Lin Chen wanted to chase after her.

　　This kid really has a death wish. I suddenly grabbed his collar from the side of the city and slammed him against the wall!

　　”Kid, who are you to treat me like this? Do you know the consequences?” Lin Chen’s face was extremely gloomy, and his eyes were spitting out anger.

　　I don’t know who this guy is, but Chen Hui’s drunkenness that time was obviously because of her. No matter what, I can’t let him continue to bother Chen Hui.

　　So I said coldly, “I don’t know who you are, but if you keep bothering her, I’ll break your third leg and make you a eunuch for life. You can try me if you don’t believe me.”

　　A complex expression flashed in Chen Hui’s eyes, but she did not stop me.

　　The fact that she let me grab Lin Chen’s collar shows that her disgust for the boy has reached its peak.

　　”Let’s go.”

　　We told Chen Hui and then turned and left.

　　After leaving, Chen Hui gave me a deep look, as if she wanted to say something but hesitated.

　　I couldn’t help but ask, “Manager Chen, what’s wrong?”

　　”It’s nothing.” Chen Hui shook her head, remained silent for a while, and then said, “Tang Zheng, do you know who he is?”

　　I shook my head blankly. “Whoever he is, since you don’t like him, I’ll deal with him. Yao Yao told me to take good care of you when we came here.”

　　Chen Hui opened her mouth, but said nothing, and gave me another complicated look.

　　I felt a little uneasy under her gaze and couldn’t help but ask, “Manager Chen, what’s wrong? Are you feeling unwell? Should I ask the hotel to make you some brown sugar ginger water?”

　　”No need, let’s go back to the private room,” Chen Hui said calmly, and took the lead.

　　I was stunned for a moment, then hurriedly followed.

　　As soon as she returned to the private room, Su Yue’e said with a smile, “Manager Chen, Supervisor Tang, you’ve finally arrived! The food would have gotten cold if you hadn’t come soon.”

　　That’s when I noticed that the table was already set with food and drinks, and there were several bottles of red wine.

　　”Sorry I’m a little late getting back,” Chen Hui said with a smile. “I’ve kept you all waiting. Let me toast you all.”

　　As she spoke, she stood up with her cup in hand. “Dear colleagues, I wish our Tianjin branch all the best in the future, and that everyone gets promoted and receives a raise.”

　　”Thank you for your kind words, Manager Chen.”

　　”It definitely will.”

　　We stood up, clinked glasses with Chen Hui, and then downed our drinks in one gulp.

　　After we sat down, I noticed that Chen Hui’s pretty face was a little flushed. It seemed that she could only drink about this much alcohol. I couldn’t help but whisper, “Manager Chen, if you can’t drink, drink less later, or I can go out for a drink with you.”

　　Chen Hui paused for a moment, then remained silent. Xu Qingqing, however, smiled and said, “Manager Tang, what are you chatting about with Manager Chen about? Why don’t you tell us?”

　　He Dongping chuckled and joked, “Xu Qingqing, you can’t joke about Manager Chen like that. How can you joke around between superiors and subordinates like that?”

　　”It’s nothing,” Chen Hui smiled. “What else can I say? But this is a private conversation between Tang Zheng and me. If I tell you, then we’ll have no secrets left between us.”

　　As she spoke, she glanced at me and said, “Tang Zheng, if it weren’t for what you did just now, they wouldn’t have misunderstood. You should offer them this toast, otherwise you won’t be able to shut them up.”

　　I poured myself a glass of wine, stood up, and said with a smile, “Manager Su, Supervisor He, Supervisor Xu, Team Leader Tan, and my boss Manager Chen, I’d like to invite everyone to a drink. May the ladies become more and more beautiful, and Supervisor He become more and more handsome.”

　　”I like what you said,” Su Yue’e said with a smile.

　　Then everyone raised their glasses, stood up, clinked glasses with me, and drank all the wine in their glasses.

　　I suggested, “Leaders, we don’t need to stand up next time. What do you two think of this suggestion?”

　　As I spoke, I turned my gaze to Chen Hui and Su Yue’e.

　　Chen Hui nodded. “We’re all colleagues, so there’s no need to be so polite. Otherwise, we’ll get tired of standing up later. What do you think, Manager Su?”

　　“Hmm, Tang Zheng’s suggestion is quite good.” Su Yue’e added, “Next time we won’t stand up. Come on, let’s eat some food, instead of just drinking.”

　　I had just sat down when Chen Hui suddenly reached out and roughly touched my inner thigh…
