Chapter 1159: Chapter 449: A Night of Panic The atmosphere in the lobby became more subtle. Looking at Tang Song’s attire, Yao Lingling’s gaze gradually softened. Coming to pick her up after work and specifically wearing this outfit; this must be the romance from Senior Tang Song. But seeing Lin Muxue next to him, also in professional attire with fair skin, a beautiful face, and long legs, her eyes dimmed again. Even if she became “Fake Ling,” she’d still feel inferior facing a woman like Lin Muxue. Xiao Mingxuan took a deep breath, tugged on Wen Qiuyue’s arm, and gritted his teeth, saying, “Enough already, Wen Qiuyue! Come with me!” “Get lost!” Wen Qiuyue shook off his hand, looked at Yao Lingling, and said mockingly, “Ha, I underestimated you, you really are a scheming girl, not just hooking up with Xiao Mingxuan, but also unclear with other men.” Then, she looked at Tang Song’s handsome face, raised an eyebrow, and said, “A word of advice, you should look carefully at the people around you.” If she met Tang Song in a regular setting, she wouldn’t mind having a chat in a friendly manner. But in today’s situation, she couldn’t swallow her anger. Even though she knew she might be out of line, she had to express her frustration. Besides, Yao Lingling really did a lot of things that crossed her bottom line. Like going to a KTV with Xiao Mingxuan, having private meals, receiving preferential treatment, being close… Even just these are enough! After speaking, just as Wen Qiuyue was about to turn around, someone suddenly grabbed her arm hard. Yao Lingling, her eyes red, glared angrily, “What right do you have to slander me with your wild imaginations?” Wen Qiuyue shook off her hand, “You know your own actions, don’t think I don’t know your little schemes.” Watching the scene before him, Xiao Mingxuan’s eyebrows twitched, and he once again grabbed Wen Qiuyue’s wrist, pulling her back, and said, “I’m sorry, Lingling.” As soon as he spoke, Tang Song suddenly appeared in front of Yao Lingling, separating them. Standing closer, Tang Song naturally got a clear view of Wen Qiuyue’s face, and past memories resurfaced. He had seen this woman before, when helping Zhang Jiahong move, at Shenghao KTV. He personally witnessed Xiao Mingxuan and this woman pulling and arguing in the hallway. Given his emotional intelligence and thinking, he could naturally guess the issues between them. Last time at the KTV, this woman was probably there to “catch him cheating.” Looking at Wen Qiuyue and Xiao Mingxuan, Tang Song said, “Lingling is my friend; I know her better than you. As for the issues between you and Xiao Mingxuan, I have no interest in them.” His voice was indisputable, and his presence exuded a strong aura naturally. Briefly suppressed by Tang Song’s aura, Wen Qiuyue clenched her fists tightly, her voice suddenly rising, “You…” “I have no interest in hearing what you have to say next.” Tang Song raised his hand, directly interrupting her unspoken words, and looked at Xiao Mingxuan, saying, “Mind your own business, and don’t drag others into it. Lingling is just your colleague; she has no obligation to bear groundless accusations for you.” Xiao Mingxuan hesitated, his gaze lowered, “I know.” Tonight, he was really cowardly. If not for the complicated relationship with Wen Qiuyue, he would have dragged her away long ago, given his real character. Wen Qiuyue’s face changed dramatically, clenching her fists hard, momentarily speechless. Though arrogant and unreasonable, she wasn’t a fool. As a rich second generation running a company, she had her own way of doing things. No matter how recklessly she acted in private, maintaining basic decorum was necessary. Daring to bully Yao Lingling stemmed from her confidence; her father was a shareholder of Shangya Clothing Design. Even when troubling Xiao Mingxuan, she didn’t storm into his company directly, but waited downstairs when few people were around. In fact, if Lin Muxue hadn’t cursed at her right away, Wen Qiuyue wouldn’t have directly confronted her. And facing this young man wearing a Patek Philippe watch worth over a million, with outstanding temperament and strong aura, as long as she wasn’t really crazy, she wouldn’t mock him directly. Looking at Tang Song standing in front of her, and listening to his words, Yao Lingling’s eyes turned somewhat blurred. Today was supposed to be perfect: cycling together in the morning and Senior Tang Song coming to pick her up after work in the evening. She was in a great mood. But Wen Qiuyue suddenly appeared, cursing indiscriminately, and even slandered her in front of Tang Song. ᴛʜɪs ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀ ɪs ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ ʙʏ novelFirｅ.net Her heart was filled with grievances and sadness. And Tang Song’s appearance and defense, like an invisible wall, protected her inside, warming her heart and filling her with gratitude. Li Shumin swallowed, her eyes becoming shiny. Suddenly she felt as if Senior Tang Song was enveloped in a colorful glow, making it hard to keep her eyes open. And even Lin Muxue, who was also of notable background, showed such deference to Senior Tang Song, even addressing him as “President Tang.” It gave her a feeling of having her worldview refreshed. Gathering her courage, Yao Lingling grabbed Tang Song’s arm and whispered, “I’m sorry, Senior, for troubling you today. I’m really sorry.” “It’s okay, it’s not your fault.” Tang Song gently shook his head, “Let’s go then, don’t waste time here.” “Mmm.” Yao Lingling nodded vigorously, giving Li Shumin a look. Li Shumin quickly said, “President Xiao, then we’ll take our leave, bye-bye.” Xiao Mingxuan opened his mouth, struggling to say, “Bye-bye.” Tang Song turned around, speaking in a gentle tone, “Goodbye, Xue.” Meeting his gaze, Lin Muxue softly brought her legs together, “Goodbye, President Tang, take care on the road.”
