Chapter 389 - Hiding!
Chapter 389 Hiding!
Translator: Lonelytree
Ever since Xiao Lingyu agreed to be Gong Tianhao’s girlfriend, there was wind in his step.
He was even more clingy than before.
This time, he would secretly kiss Xiao Lingyu’s cheek or lips from time to time.
In the past, when he kissed her, he could only kiss her forehead or cheeks. Every time he saw her tender red lips, his eyes would darken, and he wanted to commit a crime.
God knows how much self-control he used to suppress the urge to kiss her.
Li Yuanhang held the phone and was a little speechless. When he heard the boastful voice coming from the receiver, he rolled his eyes.
Ever since someone started dating someone, he was forced to listen to their romance story daily. Today, they hugged or kissed. Where did they kiss? When was it and so on…
As a single man, he really wanted to hang up the phone. Sometimes, he even thought that he should find a woman to fall in love with.
But on second thought, he had goosebumps all over his body. His Boss used to be such a cold and taciturn person. But now, he was a chatterbox. He was clearly much more enthusiastic. He was a completely different
person.
Li Yuanhang was a little speechless. He didn’t want to change that much. Love could change a person. It was better for him not to fall in love.
“Yuanhang, are you listening to me?” Gong Tianhao seemed to have noticed Li Yuanhang’s absent-mindedness.
“Ahem… I’m listening.” Li Yuanhang suddenly said, “Tianhao, no, what did you say just now?”
Gong Tianhao,”…” And he said he was listening.
Then, Gong Tianhao hung up the phone.
Li Yuanhang looked at the phone that was hung up and pursed his lips. His boss called him to pour him dogfood. He didn’t want it, but he had to answer his boss’ call.
After Li Yuanhang put the phone on the table, it rang again.
He looked at the caller ID and frowned slightly.
“Hello, Chairman Zhu. What’s the matter?” Li Yuanhang said, “Oh, you mean the peanut oil. I don’t know if there’s any left. I have to ask.”
When Li Yuanhang said this, he took out a small bag of peanuts from the drawer and ate it.
These peanuts were specially sent to him by Xiao Lingyu from Taoyuan Village. He still remembered the phone call he got from Gong Tianhao that day. He could hear the jealousy in his words.
It was obvious that Gong Tianhao was unhappy that Xiao Lingyu had sent the peanuts to Li Yuanhang.
The peanuts that were sent to him were either raw or cooked.
The cooked peanuts were either fried or boiled.
The boiled peanuts were also seasoned with salt, five-season spices, chilies, and so on.
However, Li Yuanhang’s favorite snack was still the raw peanuts. The peanuts were sweet, crisp, and refreshing.
Initially, the secretaries had no idea their boss had hidden something good from them.
However, one time Li Yuanhang went out, and Secretary Dong walked in to deliver some files. She saw a few peanuts on the usually clean desk.
Out of curiosity, she took one and tasted it.
This taste was incredible. It was too delicious. She had never eaten such a delicious peanut before.
Then, she immediately put the remaining peanut on the table into her pocket and secretly returned to her desk.
She started to munch on the peanuts. This immediately attracted the attention of Secretary Lin, the foodie. She became alert when there were signs of good food.
When she saw Secretary Dong lowering her head at her table, she immediately walked over and asked curiously, “Sister Dong, what are you eating?”
Secretary Dong, who was secretly eating peanuts, was immediately shocked when she heard the sound.
She patted her chest and said, “Xiao Lin, why is there no sound when you walk? You really scared me to death.”
She was so focused on tasting the peanuts that were taken out from Special Assistant Li’s office that she forgot about her surroundings.
“…” Secretary Lin was confused. She said, “Sister Dong, I was just walking normally.” At this point, she poked her head forward and asked with a curious smile, “Sister Dong, I saw you eating just now. What are you
eating?”
Secretary Dong shook her head and said, “No, I wasn’t eating anything.” She only had a few peanuts. There was no way she was going to share.
However, as soon as Secretary Dong opened her mouth, the fragrance of the peanut wafted out.
“It smells so good!” Secretary Lin had a keen sense of smell. “Sister Dong, you have eaten something delicious,” Secretary Lin said with certainty. Then, she stuck her head out again and saw a few peanut shells in the
trash can next to Secretary Dong.
She frowned in confusion. “Sister Dong, were you eating peanuts just now? Yes, it has to be peanuts. But why would peanuts have such a strong fragrance?”
Secretary Dong sighed. She rolled her eyes and said, “Xiao Lin, come over here.”
Then, she split the peanuts in her hand and gave one to Secretary Lin.
She said softly, “I took this from special assistant Li’s office just now. I’m giving you one now. After you eat it, don’t make a fuss.”
Secretary Lin nodded and replied, “Okay!”
After she peeled the peanuts, she put them into her mouth and took a bite. Her eyes suddenly widened.
Then, she said loudly in surprise, “Wow, this is too delicious.”
Secretary Dong, “…” Didn’t I tell her not to make a fuss? Why did she shout so loudly?
Secretary Lin’s exclamation naturally attracted the attention of the other people in the office.
Everyone knew that Secretary Lin was a foodie. She was very particular about food. Something that could make her so surprised had to be very delicious.
In an instant, the other people in the office surrounded them.
“Sister Dong, Xiao Lin, what delicious food are you eating? Why are you hiding it and eating it without us knowing?”
“That’s right, that’s right. Xiao Lin, what did Sister Dong give you to eat that made you so surprised?”
“Sister Dong, why don’t you give us a taste as well?”
Secretary Dong was speechless.
She held the remaining peanuts tightly in her hands.
There were only a few peanuts, and she didn’t want to share them with others.
“Sister Dong gave me a peanut. It was so delicious!” Secretary Lin munched on the peanut. She looked so happy. She said, “This should be a raw peanut. But it’s so tasty.”
“Peanuts?” The others were confused. They asked curiously, “Secretary Lin, did you say peanuts?”
Secretary Lin nodded and replied, “Yes, I was eating peanut. These peanuts are really too fragrant.” She turned her head and asked Secretary Dong fawningly, “Sister Dong, do you still have more?”
Secretary Dong clenched the remaining three or four peanuts tightly. She rolled her eyes and said to her in a bad mood, “No. I only took a few peanuts from Special Assistant Li. I’ve already eaten them all.”
When she mentioned Special Assistant Li, Secretary Dong’s eyes suddenly lit up. Her eyes darted about and said, “That’s right. He’s the source. I’m sure Special Assistant Li has more of those peanuts. Let’s go ask him
for more when he’s back.”
Secretary Lin’s eyes also lit up. She nodded and said, “That’s right. Let’s go ask him later.”
The others were befuddled. “No, is this peanut really that delicious?”
Secretary Lin said with certainty, “Of course. Why don’t you try them yourselves after we get them from Special Assistant Li.”
There was strength in numbers. That was the only way they could get Special Assistant Li to surrender the peanuts.
The others were still suspicious.
How delicious could the peanuts be? Secretary Dong and Lin looked like they had eaten ambrosia.
“Hey, Special Assistant Li is back. Let’s go in and ask.”
Secretary Lin had sharp eyes. When she saw Li Yuanhang walk into the office, she immediately followed him in.
The moment Li Yuanhang entered the office, he noticed that the few peanuts on the office desk were gone. He had a bad feeling. They must have been taken by one of the secretaries. ‘They will come in later to look for
more peanuts. Based on the nature of those female bandits, they will force me to surrender my treasure.’
Just as Li Yuanhang was secretly thinking about how to hide the peanuts, there was a series of knocks on his door..
