Chapter 2033: Irresistible Enthusiasm

Don't look at how firmly Wei Yangyang replied in front of her agent.

But in reality, her heart was also conflicted.

After all, having known Yi Xiang for a while, knowing he was going to retire from the industry, could she really not ask about it?

Wei Yangyang gripped her phone, feeling very hesitant.

A colleague saw her maintain one posture for a long time and asked, "Yangyang, what's wrong with you?"

Wei Yangyang blinked her eyes and said with a smile, "Nothing, I was just thinking... whether or not to call someone to show some concern."

"If it makes you hesitate like this, it means you are subconsciously resisting making the call. Since that's the case, then don't call."

The colleague's analysis was very calm.

And it was completely free of any hesitation.

And isn't this the decisiveness that Wei Yangyang needs right now?

Wei Yangyang took a deep breath, then placed her phone on the desk and continued working.

Immersed in her work, Wei Yangyang was completely self-forgetful, working for several hours in a row without resting.

In the end, it was several messages sent in succession that made her interrupt her work.

It was also at this moment that Wei Yangyang discovered her body was stiff and sore from not stretching for a long time.

Especially her neck; with a slight movement, she could hear a "crack, crack" sound.

This won't do.

Wei Yangyang rubbed her uncomfortable neck while picking up her phone.

It turned out the one sending the messages was Su Kexuan.

She had sent several breakdown movements of new techniques in the group chat.

When it comes to teaching, Su Kexuan is serious.

And Wei Yangyang's eyes turned, feeling that this message had come at a very timely moment.

She could just happen to stretch her stiff limbs!

It's just that Wei Yangyang felt embarrassed to practice in public.

So she changed into the spare sneakers she kept in the office and went to the rooftop.

There was no one here, but it was quite cold.

The coldness kept Wei Yangyang's mind clear.

Rubbing her palms together, Wei Yangyang began to practice following the video after a simple warm-up.

These few new moves were not complicated; they were all extensions of what she had learned last time.

Wei Yangyang practiced a few times and felt she had mastered them well enough.

But just as Wei Yangyang was preparing to get more proficient...

"Achoo!"

Someone had sneezed!

This meant that Wei Yangyang was not the only one on this rooftop!

Wei Yangyang immediately looked toward the source of the sound and asked with a frown, "Who's there?"

After a few seconds, several male employees walked out.

They had come up together to smoke.

But they hadn't expected to run into Wei Yangyang.

It was truly awkward for everyone!

One of the male employees explained, "We really weren't trying to peek, and besides, we were here first."

Wei Yangyang said helplessly, "You could have made a sound."

"We were just curious about what you were actually doing. Seriously, what kind of thing are you practicing?"

"Women's Self-Defense Arts!"

When Wei Yangyang introduced it, she was still a bit proud.

The other party asked, "Self-defense technique? Can it be useful?"

"Of course it's useful. What, do you want to try?"

"Let's try then, but let's agree in advance, no crying!"

"Mm, that's right, you can't cry if you get hit and it hurts!"

Both Wei Yangyang and the male employee felt that the other party would definitely lose.

When the two sides locked eyes, there was a bit of a desire to win in their gazes.

The male employee's companion wanted to advise him to stay calm.

As a result, he caught her off guard and lunged directly at Wei Yangyang!

The male employee didn't really want to hurt Wei Yangyang.

He wanted to catch Wei Yangyang off guard to intimidate her, so as to achieve the goal of making his opponent surrender without a fight!

However...

The male employee's eyes blurred, and Wei Yangyang had already flashed behind him.

Then she lifted her foot and kicked!

The other party went straight down face-first!

The rooftop had a concrete floor, and falling onto it was still quite painful.

Worried that she had hurt him, Wei Yangyang quickly leaned over and asked, "Are you okay?"

"I-I'm fine!"

The male employee was just being stubborn; he felt his knees were in so much pain!

After gritting his teeth and standing up, the male employee was still trying to save face: "I was afraid of hurting you, so I held back."

"Then let's go again, don't hold back this time."

Again?

The male employee was struggling just to walk now!

But he didn't tell the truth; instead, he found a very reasonable excuse: "If I didn't hold back, I'd have to have intimate contact with you, and if your boyfriend found out, he would definitely kill me."

Hmm...

Li Xingyan wouldn't actually kill him.

But he would very likely make this employee disappear from the company without a sound.

Wei Yangyang didn't want to cause trouble for others, so she didn't insist.

However, the male employee's words gave Wei Yangyang a flash of inspiration, and she had a new idea!

Near the end of the workday, Wei Yangyang called Li Xingyan: "Do you have to work overtime today?"

"No, there's only a little work left; it's the same if I finish it at home."

"Hmm... then after work, shall we arrange some activity?"

"Sure, what activity are you planning to arrange?"

"Let's go to a hotel and get a room!"

"What, get a room!?"

Li Xingyan was shocked.

His tone of voice grew louder involuntarily.

His words also aroused the curiosity of his assistant, who froze in place, ears quietly leaning toward this side.

Unfortunately, before Li Xingyan spoke again, he chased the gossiping assistant out of the office.

He calmed his breathing again before saying: "Yangyang, I'm still a little... not prepared."

"No need to prepare; only by being unexpected can it be effective!"

Wei Yangyang's "bold words" made Li Xingyan's fingers fidget with the black fountain pen on the desk.

He licked his lips again before speaking: "I didn't expect you to be so enthusiastic."

"Because I love it, I'm enthusiastic!"

Wei Yangyang's voice was vibrant.

Li Xingyan's heart, however, was beating faster and faster.

If Wei Yangyang were standing in front of Li Xingyan right now, she would definitely discover that the tips of his ears were red.

Furthermore, not only were his ears red, but his gaze was also drifting.

When he spoke, a faint smile hung on the corners of his mouth: "Understood, then I'll listen to you; I'll come to pick you up after I get off work."

"No need to pick me up, let's meet at the hotel; that saves more time."

Today's Wei Yangyang was truly proactive in every way.

So proactive that Li Xingyan could barely handle it!

He tugged at his tie and asked: "That... do I need to buy some... safety supplies?"

Safety supplies?

Wei Yangyang thought for a moment and realized: "No need, the hotel has them."

"The hotel... even prepares these things?"

"That's right, it's a high-end hotel. I'll send you the room number in a little while."

After Wei Yangyang finished speaking, she hung up the phone.

And Li Xingyan was still feeling as if he were in the clouds, very unsettled.

He was still wondering if this could be a prank game?

Probably not.

Wei Yangyang's tone didn't sound like she was fooling around; on the contrary, she seemed very impatient.

But if Wei Yangyang really was instigated by someone to tease him...

Then at worst, he would just chase the others away and take her right there as punishment!

Li Xingyan took a deep breath, straightened his tie again, and walked out of the office.

Thinking that this was, after all, the first time for both of them, the necessary sense of ritual still had to be there.
