At this moment, in Shirley’s sight, a couple walked in, their gestures intimate, their fingers intertwined.
Furthermore, both members of the couple were gazing at each other, their eyes sparkling with affection, their profiles etched with boundless love for the person beside them.
As they conversed, the very air around them seemed to lighten, drawing envious glances.
“Ye… Teacher Ye… Qian… Qianyu…”
Shirley rubbed her eyes vigorously, almost disbelieving what she was seeing.
Yes!
This couple, seemingly blessed by heaven, were none other than Ye Ming and Nangong Qianyu.
“What… what is going on?”
Shirley’s brain ceased to function, unable to process the sudden turn of events.
Just a short while ago, their relationship had been at an all-time low. Yet, in less than ten minutes, how could things have changed so abruptly?
What puzzled her most was Nangong Qianyu’s current demeanor, completely that of a shy, dependent woman, her eyes overflowing with love.
It was as if she had transformed into an entirely different person.
“Huh! Shirley! What are you all doing here?”
Finally, Ye Ming and Nangong Qianyu, who had been lost in their own world, noticed Shirley and the others.
Nangong Qianyu, standing beside Ye Ming, also nodded at them, her smile radiating kindness.
After their soul union, Nangong Qianyu had become aware of everything Ye Ming had experienced.
Thus, the previous misunderstanding had naturally been resolved.
“Ye… Teacher Ye! You… this…”
Shirley’s head still felt dizzy, her speech stammering.
The other members, their eyes wide, scanned back and forth between Nangong Qianyu and Ye Ming, seemingly searching for any clues.
But in the end, they found none.
“You must have been worried! Everything is fine now!”
Ye Ming held Nangong Qianyu’s hand, their gazes meeting again, their eyes reflecting each other’s silhouettes, the atmosphere instantly becoming hazy.
“The misunderstanding has been cleared!”
Nangong Qianyu said with a gentle smile.
“I…”
Seeing this scene, Shirley inexplicably felt a deep sense of being “abused.”
Of course!
She might not be the only one who felt this way.
“Well… then! Since… since the misunderstanding is cleared, we won’t disturb you!”
Beside Shirley, one of the members seemed somewhat “allergic” to the current atmosphere and, unable to bear the stimulation, quickly spoke up.
She feared that if they stayed any longer, they would be completely overwhelmed by the display of affection.
“Yes… yes! We won’t… won’t disturb you!”
“Right… right! Wishing you both a happy union, may you… may you have… *muffled*!”
“Hahaha! We… we’ll be going now!”
“…”
The other members chimed in one after another.
In the end, only Shirley remained silent.
“Hoo!”
Shirley took a deep breath. Although she hadn't fully understood what had happened, the outcome was ultimately good.
Therefore, there was no need for her to dwell on it.
“Teacher Ye! We wish you both happiness!”
Shirley bowed sincerely to the couple.
This gesture conveyed unspoken words.
But… they were no longer important.
Seeing their leader bow and offer congratulations, the other members also expressed their well wishes.
“Thank you!”
Nangong Qianyu looked at the eight stunning women before her, whose beauty rivaled her own. Her tone was kind and polite, making them feel as if they were bathing in a spring breeze.
Similarly, Shirley looked at the woman she considered the luckiest in the world and said, “Miss Qianyu! You are truly fortunate!”
With that, Shirley turned away with a graceful stride.
“I think so too!”
Nangong Qianyu gave her most direct internal response to Shirley’s words.
Just as Shirley and the others were about to leave by elevator, Ye Ming suddenly called out to them, “Wait! The matter of Li Hongzhi still needs to be resolved. As innocent parties involved in this incident, you should personally witness his judgment.”
Li Hongzhi was still kneeling at this very moment.
“Alright!”
Shirley hesitated for a moment before finally agreeing to Ye Ming’s proposal.
They naturally harbored resentment towards Li Hongzhi.
“Then let’s go!”
Ye Ming nodded with a smile and then entered the elevator with Nangong Qianyu.
However, as the elevator descended, the atmosphere among them became somewhat subtle.
Hmm.
A bit stifling!
Of course!
This was only the case for Shirley and the others.
Because Ye Ming and Nangong Qianyu were once again exchanging glances.
One could wonder if Shirley regretted her decision just now.
Ding!
Finally, the elevator doors opened, and Shirley and the others hurried out as if relieved, not daring to look back for even a second.
Seeing this, Ye Ming and Nangong Qianyu exchanged a knowing smile, finding it quite amusing.
If Shirley knew their current mood, she would probably blurt out an expletive:
“You can’t be this much of a public display of affection!”
…
When Ye Ming and the others returned to the place where Li Hongzhi was kneeling, there seemed to be more people than when they had left.
Among them, the most striking figure was an elderly man with silver hair.
He exuded an aura of imposing authority simply by standing there. His sunken, aged eyes hid a profound and heavy gaze.
It was evident he was a person of high status.
At that moment, the old man vaguely heard footsteps and turned his head. The first figure to enter his view was a young man.
Then, he strode forward.
“Mr. Ye! I am deeply ashamed that such a thing has happened. I offer my sincerest apologies!”
The old man approached Ye Ming, not bothering to introduce himself first, but went straight to the heart of the matter.
“May I ask who you are…”
Out of politeness, Ye Ming still asked.
Although he had already guessed the identity of the person before him.
“Alas! My memory is not what it used to be. I forgot to introduce myself. How impolite!”
Whether he was genuinely forgetful or deliberately feigning ignorance, his expression truly conveyed a sense of shame.
“I am Wu You, one of the chief executives of the Tianzi Financial Group. I just heard that that scoundrel Li Hongzhi offended Mr. Ye, and so I have come to offer my apologies!”
Wu You spoke in a low voice, which seemed somewhat out of character given his appearance. However, despite his lowered voice, his posture remained erect.
This was rather intriguing.
“Oh? Is that so?”
Ye Ming smiled faintly, seemingly unfazed by Wu You’s words. Instead, his gaze drifted past him, landing on Li Hongzhi.
“Since you have come to offer apologies, then…”
Having said this, Ye Ming casually glanced around, his tone suddenly growing colder, and said, “Chief Wu should be able to satisfy me, shouldn’t he!”
