Chapter 355: Like an affair being caught red-handed

"Someone sent me two boxes of king crabs air-freighted from Hokkaido today. If you want to eat them, I'll have the chef prepare them and send them to you via A Wei."

"No need, I'll go back." Xu Tian glanced at the complex documents full of professional terminology in his hand and said to Tang Bingyan, "You eat first, don't wait for me."

"Then I'll have A Wei go pick you up."

Tang Bingyan knew that Xu Tian had been very tired lately, busy studying documents in addition to work, and worried about him driving while fatigued, so she called A Wei directly, telling him to go to the Lanshan Haoting apartment to pick up Xu Tian and bring him back to the villa.

After hanging up the phone, Xu Tian tidied up a bit and sat on the sofa, studying the documents while waiting for A Wei's call.

After a while, a knock sounded outside the apartment.

Xu Tian raised an eyebrow in surprise. A Wei only needed to call him from downstairs to have him go down directly; why was he coming up to knock?

"Is that A Wei?"

He put down the documents and got up to walk to the entryway. After opening the door, he discovered that the person standing there wasn't A Wei, but Zhao Qianqian.

"Why is it you?" Xu Tian was even more surprised to see the woman standing at the door, "How did you know I live here?"

It wasn't a secret that he lived in the company dormitory, but only a small circle of people knew exactly which building.

"Agent Xu, I have important matters I want to discuss with you. Can you let me in to talk?"

Zhao Qianqian was wearing a beige long trench coat today that reached her ankles, and she was wearing a black fisherman hat, sunglasses, and a mask, completely covering herself.

Xu Tian stared at her strange attire for a long moment, but eventually stepped aside to let her into the apartment.

Zhao Qianqian was, after all, a company artist. If she really had something to discuss with him, since she was already here, it wouldn't be appropriate for him to just chase her away.

After the two walked into the living room, he asked Zhao Qianqian straight to the point: "Is there something you want to discuss with me coming here so late?"

Zhao Qianqian blinked. She hadn't expected Xu Tian to be so unromantic. A female artist coming to knock on an agent's door at night couldn't possibly be to talk about official business, no matter how you looked at it.

However, it was one thing for everyone to know it in their hearts, and another for her to say it out loud. Even if Zhao Qianqian was thick-skinned, she would still be somewhat shy when facing the person she liked.

"Mr. Xu, can you pour me a glass of water?"

"Wait a moment." Xu Tian went to the refrigerator, took out a bottle of mineral water, and handed it to Zhao Qianqian.

He certainly understood the way of hospitality, but to avoid Zhao Qianqian staying for long, Xu Tian chose not to make her tea or coffee.

Zhao Qianqian didn't mind. She took the mineral water, unscrewed the cap, took a few sips, and then took a deep breath. After silently cheering herself on three times in her heart, she finally mustered the courage to say to Xu Tian: "Agent Xu, I really like you. If you think there's something wrong with me, I can change. I'm willing to become the person you're satisfied with for you."

Xu Tian was slightly shocked upon hearing this, thinking: This woman really didn't come to talk about official business. He had clearly rejected Zhao Qianqian in the office that morning, and the other party seemed to have given up, so why did she suddenly run over to find him now?

Xu Tian was suspicious in his heart, but on the surface, he remained calm and said coldly: "Zhao Qianqian, I think I already told you my bottom line when I first took office."

Zhao Qianqian continued upon hearing this: "I know, Agent Xu, you don't engage in unspoken rules with artists in the company, but I came to find you simply because I like you, not because I want you to get me any resources. I just purely like you and want to be with you..."

Xu Tian...

Alright, this girl isn't here for resources, which makes it even more troublesome.

After all, if she had come to him for resources, she could have immediately shifted her target after he rejected her. But now, with Zhao Qianqian standing in front of him, shy and hesitant, it truly made him somewhat embarrassed.

Xu Tian weighed his words, trying his best not to hurt the other party's self-esteem: "Zhao Qianqian, you have potential, and I think highly of you, but I..."

Before Xu Tian could finish, Zhao Qianqian suddenly yanked open the belt of her trench coat.

Xu Tian's pupils suddenly constricted, and he quickly averted his gaze, because inside Zhao Qianqian's coat, she was wearing a very revealing outfit with pitifully little fabric.

At this moment, it felt like ten thousand grass-mud horses were galloping through his heart.

During the day, Zhao Qianqian's style clearly wasn't like this; how did she turn from a gentle and shy lady into this at night?

"Put your clothes on and leave my house now." He realized that continuing to be polite and save face for Zhao Qianqian would only make her misunderstand, so he frowned and put on a stern face.

Zhao Qianqian was slightly shocked; clearly, she hadn't expected Xu Tian to have such a reaction. Pulling open her coat just now had exhausted all her courage, and now the other party's response made her feel like she had lost all face.

She had sacrificed so much, so why was Xu Tian still unmoved? It was said he liked sexy and uninhibited hot girls; was Nie Jingjing's information reliable at all?

Suddenly, a thought flashed through Zhao Qianqian's mind, making her heart skip a beat.

Damn it, Nie Jingjing, that woman, wouldn't be lying to her, would she?

It's over, it's all over. If she was really lied to, how could she face Xu Tian in the company in the future!

Just as Zhao Qianqian was on the verge of a breakdown, a sound suddenly came from the entryway.

"Mr. Xu, are you ready? Why didn't you answer when I called you?"

Xu Tian and Zhao Qianqian both turned their heads to look at the entryway at the same time, only to see a young man walking in from outside holding car keys.

Xu Tian...

Zhao Qingqing!!!

At this moment, a thought flashed through both their minds simultaneously.

What kind of large-scale social death scene is this?

A Wei was also somewhat confused looking at Xu Tian and a strange woman standing in the living room. From his perspective, he could only see Zhao Qianqian's side profile, so he just assumed Xu Tian had guests and the atmosphere was somewhat strange.

After arriving downstairs at the apartment, he called Xu Tian but found his phone was off. Having no choice, he had to come up to call him himself. When he reached the door, he didn't expect the door to be unlocked, so he walked straight in.

"I... I'll go first..." Zhao Qianqian hurriedly wrapped her coat tight, tied the belt, covered her face, and ran away. The whole process was smooth and swift, and she quickly disappeared from the apartment entrance.

Xu Tian picked up his phone from the sofa and looked at it, suddenly discovering that it had automatically shut down.

He let out a long sigh of relief. Regardless, A Wei's appearance had solved a difficult problem for him. If Zhao Qianqian had insisted on not leaving just now, he really would have been very troubled.

"Mr. Xu, who was that woman just now?"

Even if A Wei was slow, he could sense that the atmosphere between the two was wrong, especially Zhao Qianqian's panicked look just now, which looked more like an affair being caught red-handed. ===== CHAPTER 356 =====
