CHAPTER 207: CHAPTER 207: THEY’VE ALL ARRIVED

Han Mengyu’s heart pounded wildly as she stared at the card in front of her. Naturally, she didn’t believe Xia Liang would lie to her. How could the Xia Liang who spent only fifty cents a night possibly tell a lie that could be exposed so easily?

She took the card, her face flushing as she spoke, "Thank you... thank you, my dear."

"Mm," Xia Liang nodded in satisfaction, then his expression turned serious. "Now that you’re my woman, there are some things I need to make clear. You need to draw a firm line with certain people. I don’t like my woman laughing and chatting with other men. I will get angry."

Although his tone was placid, Han Mengyu sensed a chill in his words.

What a domineering man.

Han Mengyu chuckled and lifted Xia Liang’s chin with her finger. "Don’t worry, I’ll be careful. I’ll go take care of things at the company in a bit, and I’ll delete all the male contacts on my phone."

"Mm." Hearing how understanding Han Mengyu was, Xia Liang nodded again in satisfaction.

"Let’s go!" Xia Liang said, leading her out the door.

Han Mengyu naturally hooked her arm through his.

The two returned to the entrance of the bar, where Xia Liang drove the Ferrari 488 to drop Han Mengyu off at her company building.

"Do you need me to come up with you?"

"Mm." Han Mengyu thought for a moment and nodded. After all, having Xia Liang by her side always made her feel safer.

Without another word, Xia Liang locked the car. Han Mengyu linked her arm with his, and they walked toward the office building.

Han Mengyu’s company was an e-commerce business on the 7th floor that primarily sold clothing. She was a planner there.

As soon as they arrived on the seventh floor, many people stared in surprise at Han Mengyu holding Xia Liang’s arm.

"Sister Mengyu."

"Sister Mengyu."

Han Mengyu returned their greetings with a polite smile and a nod.

The two entered the office. Han Mengyu led Xia Liang to the break room and brought him a cup of coffee.

"Dear, wait for me here for a moment. I’ll be right out after I finish the resignation procedures."

Xia Liang nodded. "Alright. Call me if you need anything."

With that, he casually picked up a magazine and started reading.

"Okay!"

Seeing Han Mengyu’s obedient, little-wife demeanor, her usual colleagues were utterly astonished. After all, in their eyes, Han Mengyu was a formidable and decisive career woman. To think she was now showing such a docile side to a man.

As Han Mengyu walked away, her colleagues couldn’t help but start gossiping.

"No way, is that for real?"

"Did I see that right?"

"Our company’s goddess, Mengyu, has a boyfriend?"

"I just heard her call him ’dear’! That has to be her boyfriend."

"Hiss... then what about our manager? I heard..."

"Who knows? She even brought him right into the office."

Meanwhile, Xia Liang, the subject of their discussion, seemed completely unbothered, as if they weren’t talking about him at all.

At the same time, Han Mengyu took her resignation letter and knocked on the manager’s office door.

KNOCK. KNOCK. KNOCK.

Since she was resigning anyway, she could have just pushed the door open, but knocking first was a matter of basic decency.

"Come in."

Following the voice from inside, Han Mengyu stepped into the office.

Inside, a flamboyant man in a pink suit was sitting at the desk. The moment he saw Han Mengyu, he shot up from his chair, his eyes lighting up. "Mengyu, you’re here?"

Surprise was written all over his face, and a flash of infatuation for her showed deep in his eyes.

"Yes." Han Mengyu nodded coolly.

The man in the pink suit was ecstatic. "So, you’ve thought it over? You agree to—"

Before he could finish, he was already rubbing his hands together eagerly. However, the mere mention of the topic filled Han Mengyu’s face with disgust.

"I’m here to resign."

Huh?

Clearly, Han Mengyu’s words had caught the man in the pink suit by surprise. His expression immediately darkened.

"Have you really thought this through? If you resign, you’ll have to start from scratch at a new company. All your years of hard work will be for nothing."

"Heh." The man’s words only made Han Mengyu more disdainful.

"I already thought everything through before I came here. Do you think threatening me now will work? Here’s my resignation letter. You can keep the salary. I’m not putting up with this anymore!"

She practically roared the last sentence as she threw the resignation letter in his face.

So satisfying.

She spun around, pulled the door open, and walked out.

"Damn it!"

A long moment later, the sound of things crashing and being smashed echoed from the office. One could only imagine how furious the man in the pink suit was.

The employees outside the door were terrified, wondering what on earth had happened inside to make their boss so angry.

Feeling as light as a feather, Han Mengyu found everyone she saw pleasing to the eye. She packed her belongings from her desk and walked out with the box in her arms.

Arriving at the break room, Xia Liang glanced up at her. "All done? He didn’t give you a hard time, did he?"

"Mhm," Han Mengyu nodded, her face glowing with excitement. "All done. I didn’t even ask for my final paycheck, so there was no way for him to give me a hard time, hehe..."

"Alright then, let’s go."

Xia Liang took the box from her hands, and the two of them headed downstairs.

The resignation had gone surprisingly smoothly. Xia Liang had been wondering if the manager would cause trouble.

What a letdown.

Since Xia Liang had a family gathering to attend, he didn’t go shopping with Han Mengyu. He drove her straight to her door before heading home himself.

By the time he got home, it was already one o’clock. Xia Liang’s villa was bustling with activity.

All his aunts and uncles had arrived. As soon as they saw him, they all started greeting him.

"Yo! Xia Liang’s back?"

Xia Liang smiled and greeted each of them in turn, "Auntie, Uncle, Grandma..."

His paternal grandparents hadn’t come because they lived far away and got carsick easily, so it was decided they wouldn’t make the trip.

Luu Juan’s entire side of the family was quite fond of Xia Liang. His maternal grandparents cared for him no less than his paternal ones. It couldn’t be helped; Xia Liang’s maternal grandparents had two sons but only one daughter. Thus, their love for their daughter extended to him.

His grandfather took a couple of puffs from his cigarette, looking at Xia Liang with satisfaction. "Xiao Juan’s boy is already buying cars and houses for the family at such a young age. I wasn’t wrong about him back then. He’s destined for great things."

Sitting beside him was Luu Qi’s father, Xia Liang’s second maternal uncle. He nodded, looking quite pleased with the young man he had watched grow up.

"That’s right. I honestly thought with Xia Liang’s personality, he’d stumble and fall hard. I never expected that just two years after graduating, he’d be doing so well."
