Yan Beicheng’s gaze was icy cold, yet his slender and distinct fingers massaged the back of Lin Chu’s crown slowly and surely in a bid for her to relax.

“I had no idea that this was how Ding Shang approached business deals,” said Yan Beicheng coldly.

“President... President Yan, this is a misunderstanding...a misunderstanding...” clarified Yao Xingzhi with a shaky voice.

“My girlfriend was forced to escape from the vent of the washroom. A misunderstanding, you say?” Yan Beicheng felt the person in his embrace struggled against his grasp, obviously provoked by being called his girlfriend.

Yan Beicheng’s eyes narrowed before he tightened his grasp. With a low voice, he warned, “Knock it off, be good.”

Lin Chu was quiet. “...”

How could she not be provoked when she was suddenly made his girlfriend?

“I’ll kiss you if you don’t obey!” Yan Beicheng lowered his head so that his mouth was right by her ear before he blew a breath of hot air towards her earlobe.

“...”

What was this hooligan trying to do? Why was nobody stopping him!

Suddenly, a loud “thump” could be heard. Yao Xingzhi fell to the ground kneeling, shocked at hearing Yan Beicheng calling her ‘his girlfriend’.

The young Yan Ningbai could almost feel Yao Xingzhi’s pain.

“President... President Yan... I... I had no idea, I’m truly sorry, this is all a misunderstanding. Miss Lin... Miss Lin misunderstood, I don’t want to...” Yao Xingzhi stuttered nervously, his anxiety revealing itself in his tone.

Yan Beicheng ignored him. Instead, he lowered his head once more, speaking to Lin Chu in a gentle and mellow tone. “Babe, I’ll let you decide.”

Lin Chu remained silent. “...”

Although his mellow tone could be clearly heard by everyone, his lips were pressed to her earlobe tightly. His warm lips kneaded her earlobe lightly as he spoke, the light touch causing Lin Chu to tremble involuntarily. She did not want to be so undignified, but there was no controlling it.

All she could feel was the heat blooming on her earlobe and the goosebumps rising on her scalp.

“It’s all my fault, President Yan! My fault!” Yao Xingzhi went limp from fear and he continued in a bid to stop Miss Lin from speaking. “I was blind, I had no idea Miss Lin is your...your girlfriend. Miss Lin, I’m so sorry for treating you so rudely, and there’s no need to stoop down to my level. Do you...do you want to hit me in return?”

On his knees still, Yao Xingzhi inched closer towards the pair. His actions were met with a cold glare from Yan Beicheng, which prompted him to stop immediately. “No, no. Hitting me will dirty your hands, I’ll do it myself.”

Without hesitation, he started slapping himself hard. The smacks were clear and distinct.

As long as Yan Beicheng did not order him to stop, he would not.

“Since you’re already kneeling, you might as well sing ‘Conquest’,” ordered Yan Beicheng in a clear voice. 1

Everyone else said nothing. “...”

Yao Xingzhi was stunned for a while, but he started singing almost immediately. Not only did he sound like he was on the verge of crying but he was also off-key and his duck-like voice was terribly displeasing to the ears.

Yan Beicheng then turned his head to say to the general manager of Sheng Yue. “Have him kneel here until daybreak. Then, have him sing ‘Cloudy Day’ before sending him away. Get someone to watch him and don’t let him stop.” 1
