Xu Yun was relieved that Tang Jiu was so open about it. At least she didn't treat him as an outsider. If she didn't even dare to joke around with her friends, then something must have happened.
Xu Yun brought Tang Jiu to his room upstairs. "Sit anywhere you like. You're the real boss of this hotel. You're the one paying for it. You can stay wherever you like."
"I like this room." Tang Jiu was concise and didn't hesitate at all. "If you say I can stay wherever I like, then I'll stay in this room every time I come here, okay?"
Since the artificial river project had fallen into the hands of the Tang Group, as Tang Jiu's first construction project after taking over the company, she had to come to Hedong City to inspect it. Did Tang Jiu mean that she would sleep with him every time she came?
"Do all CEOs like to do this? Hiding a mistress in a hotel in another city? Is this called keeping a mistress or cohabiting?" Xu Yun said shyly. "It makes me feel embarrassed."
"You? What kind of mistress is that … "Tang Jiu was speechless at Xu Yun's disgusting expression." I give up. Can you be any more narcissistic? Even if I'm hiding a mistress, I'm hiding a pretty boy. You're not even half as pretty as a pretty boy. "
Xu Yun snorted. "What era is this? Pretty boys are no longer popular. I'm a charming man. Am I any worse than a pretty boy?"
Tang Jiu rolled her eyes. "Then name a price."
"Don't. I'm selling my skills, not my body." Xu Yun grinned. It was so obvious that he wouldn't fall for it.
"With someone like you, even if you sell your body, how many people are blind? Who would buy you?" Tang Jiu snorted. "Don't be so smug. Don't be so self-righteous in front of me. Look at yourself in the mirror when you're free. You'll be laughed at if word gets out."
Xu Yun calmed down. "Mr. Tang, you have a sharp tongue. I admit defeat." Xu Yun became serious. "You have to wake up early tomorrow to visit Uncle Tang, so you should rest early today. I just changed the bedsheets in my room, so you can sleep peacefully. "
Tang Jiu heard Xu Yun's hidden meaning. "What about you? Aren't you going to rest? Where are you going? "
"Today, I've caused so much trouble for Fan Tianlong. That guy won't let it go. Who knows, they might come for revenge tonight, so I'd better be more alert." Xu Yun smiled. "I don't want to be taken advantage of, so I'm going downstairs."
Tang Jiu didn't say anything. Just as Xu Yun was about to turn and leave, she suddenly stepped forward and hugged Xu Yun from behind.
Xu Yun was stunned. However, he was a man after all. His back was instantly squeezed by two elastic and gentle breasts. Xu Yun almost couldn't control himself. "Tang Jiu … listen to me …"
"Don't talk." Tang Jiu interrupted him. She hugged Xu Yun and felt the endless sense of security that Xu Yun gave her. When Xu Yun wasn't in Jibei City, Tang Jiu was always accompanied by helplessness and difficulties. The layers of pressure made it difficult for her to breathe.
Although Tang Jiu had already proven that she could bear the pressure and difficulties by herself after solving problems time and time again, she was still just a twenty-two-year-old girl next door.
What did other girls her age experience? Even the girls from families that weren't as well off as the Tang family were enjoying their graduation trip or getting into passionate relationships when they graduated from university. Even if they didn't have the means to travel or fall in love, they could still find a job that they liked and enjoy the sunshine every day.
However, Tang Jiu had to suddenly become the pillar of the Tang Group. Many people were envious of her, jealous of her, and even hated her for having such a family and such opportunities. They complained that God was unfair. How could a girl like Tang Jiu, who had just graduated from university, obtain such an important position as the CEO of the Tang Group?
They felt that Tang Jiu suddenly had everything after graduating. She had fame, status, money, light, taste, and style … Everyone thought that she suddenly had everything.
However, only Tang Jiu understood that she didn't just have fame, status, and money. She also didn't just have light, taste, and style … At the same time, she also had a huge invisible pressure. She understood that the business world was like a battlefield. When she had everything, she had already been pushed into a smokeless battlefield.
She had to scheme and scheme. If she wasn't careful, she could cause the Tang Group to fall into eternal damnation. She couldn't even trust her own uncles and cousins … Who could understand this feeling?! Many people knew that although Tang Jiu was richer than any of them, she wasn't as happy as any of them.
She once had her own dream. After graduation, she wanted to travel the world for eighty days with her best friend. She believed that when she traveled the entire world, she would find her own destiny and meet a Prince Charming who shared the same feelings as her …
Tang Jiu's fairytale world shattered on the day she graduated. From that day onwards, she knew that she would have to shoulder the heavy responsibility of the Tang Group. If she couldn't, her father's efforts would be completely ruined by her own people.
On that day, Tang Jiu began to understand that she might not even be able to make her own decisions about her marriage, let alone Prince Charming. She might even marry a man who did not even have any feelings for her, and then spend the rest of her life muddling along in her career.
Fortunately, she met Xu Yun.
Tang Jiu had always felt that Xu Yun was the man who changed her destiny. However, she slowly realized that Xu Yun didn't just change her life.
Tang Jiu and Guoguo were as close as sisters. It might be a kind of fate. The two of them didn't like each other in the beginning. Now, they talked about everything. It was a kind of fate. She learned a lot about Xu Yun and their stories from Guoguo. Xu Yun changed the fate of Guoguo, Ruan Qingshuang, Chou Yeon, Qin Wan 'er's fate, and even Xu Yun's appearance changed everyone around him. Qiang, the Three Tigers of Nancheng, etc …
It wasn't that Tang Jiu wasn't confident. Tang Jiu knew that she wasn't the most outstanding woman among these people. Tang Jiu only knew Ruan Qingshuang and the others. What about the others that she didn't know? Moreover, Tang Jiu knew one more thing than the others. That was the relationship between Sky Entertainment Group's Zuo Meiyan and Xu Yun.
Although Tang Jiu couldn't guess their relationship, Tang Jiu knew that Zuo Meiyan's Zhu Yeqing hated men. She hated women who were younger and prettier than her. Therefore, it was impossible for Zhu Yeqing to help her because of Xu Yun.
"I just want to hug you like this for a while." Tang Jiu spoke softly. Even though there were so many unknown factors, she still couldn't control her feelings. Every night, she would still miss Xu Yun. She couldn't even sleep when she thought about him. Some things couldn't be easily controlled once they came. For example, feelings. No one could explain them clearly.
Xu Yun didn't have the heart to interrupt Tang Jiu. He knew that she must be exhausted. After all, a girl had to bear too much. Xu Yun couldn't imagine how much pain Tang Jiu must have felt when the Tang Corporation's bids kept failing.
Even though it was so painful, Tang Jiu still insisted on dealing with it herself. Just like Tang Zhengtian said, as long as Tang Jiu agreed to shoulder the rise and fall of the Tang Corporation, she would never say a word of suffering in front of her father. She would rather bear everything herself than let him worry about her.
This was also why Xu Yun helped Tang Jiu get the Hedong City project. He knew what Tang Jiu needed. Tang Jiu needed help, confidence, and a sense of security.
Tang Jiu stood quietly behind Xu Yun. She hugged Xu Yun without saying a word. It was as if she could absorb the essence of Xu Yun's body to restore her vitality. She greedily enjoyed this feeling.
"If only I could continue like this." Finally, Tang Jiu spoke. However, she still didn't intend to let go.
"Then I'll be strangled to death by you." Xu Yun smiled helplessly. "Don't tell me you're going to spend the night like this? I'll definitely be able to persevere. Please don't trick me. "
Just as the two were about to talk, the door was pushed open after a light knock. Ruan Qingshuang walked in with a bowl of bird's nest porridge.
It was quite awkward. Ruan Qingshuang didn't realize that when she knocked on Xu Yun's door before, Xu Yun would let her in directly. Therefore, Ruan Qingshuang developed a habit of knocking on Xu Yun's door before opening it.
This time, she didn't expect to see such a scene when the door opened. For a moment, Ruan Qingshuang didn't know what to do.
Tang Jiu's first reaction was to let go of Xu Yun. She hurriedly tidied up her clothes. This action would probably cause a misunderstanding. However, in her panic, Tang Jiu didn't know where to put her hands.
Xu Yun awkwardly stood in the room. What could he say? What should he say? He didn't know if he should open his mouth or just stand there obediently and let Ruan Qingshuang pour the bird's nest porridge over his face.
Finally, Ruan Qingshuang was the first to speak. She smiled faintly. "I thought it was just Xu Yun, so I only prepared one portion. Xu Yun, let Tang Jiu drink it. "
Seeing the smile on Ruan Qingshuang's face, Tang Jiu felt an inexplicable sense of guilt. This feeling made her feel incredulous. She didn't do anything wrong to Ruan Qingshuang …
"Then you guys continue. I'll leave first." Ruan Qingshuang finished speaking and put the bird's nest porridge on the counter in the hall. Then, she quickly turned and left. This time, Xu Yun was completely dumbfounded. Tang Jiu also looked at Xu Yun, not knowing what to do.
