After Being Clung to by a Gentle, Seductive Omega - Chapter 5

“P-President Ji…?”

“Are you sober now? If you’re not, there’s plenty more tea in this conference room.”

President Ji’s tone was cold and hard. This time, Yu Chen sobered up completely.

Tea dripped from her chin and soaked her pants. Her manager stood beside her, shocked and panicked, not even daring to hand her artist a tissue.

Ji Congyan had excellent upbringing. Even if someone under her caused a disaster big enough to reach the heavens, she would only elegantly take a sip of tea, then, with a cold face and rational mind, swiftly assign all the follow-up work.

Yu Chen’s matter could not be considered especially serious, but it was not minor either.

It was not exactly rare for her to get herself into trouble by speaking carelessly.

But this was the first time Yu Chen and her manager, Wang Ying, had seen Ji Congyan take action herself.

Only Cen Sang knew that Ji Congyan was truly angry.

“I’m sober…” Yu Chen swallowed and asked, “Can I wipe my face first before calling Bo Shuang’s manager back?”

Ji Congyan nodded. Wang Ying and Yu Chen felt as if they had been granted amnesty. One handed over tissues, the other wiped her face, and they tidied up her appearance as quickly as possible.

“Is Miss Yu finally willing to lower that noble head of hers and apologize to my artist?”

“Sister Ran~ I was drunk and said drunken nonsense. Please be magnanimous and don’t lower yourself to my level.”

“Enough. There’s no need for polite words. Miss Yu, personally come and apologize to our Bo Shuang, and this matter will be considered over.”

“Sister Ran is so generous. Please send me Miss Bo’s address. I’ll bring gifts and come alone to apologize.”

After the call ended, the address was sent to Yu Chen’s phone.

Yu Chen stared at the address and confirmed it with the other party again and again.

Then she suddenly stood up, looked at Ji Congyan, who was leaning against the sofa and basking in the sun, and said through gritted teeth, sounding wronged, “President Ji, she’s making things difficult for me.”

“She wants me to leave the capital and run all the way to the southernmost area, to the resort from last night’s film and television gala, to find Bo Shuang. If that’s not making things difficult, what is it!? She’s doing it on purpose, right!? Who doesn’t have a packed schedule? Going there and back means I’ll breach my business engagement today…”

Sunlight shone over Ji Congyan’s face, warm and comfortable. She half-closed her eyes in ease, and Yu Chen’s rambling voice slipped smoothly past her ears.

Then, all of a sudden, she sharply caught the key words.

Bo Shuang was still at last night’s hotel?

Her mind once again surfaced with the bruises all over the Omega’s body, as well as the swelling and bite marks on the gland at the back of her neck.

Was it because her injuries were too severe?

Ji Congyan lowered her lashes and interrupted Yu Chen, who was still talking endlessly.

“Cen Sang, take them out first.”

This meant she was going to make a phone call, and it was inconvenient for outsiders to be present.

Cen Sang escorted Yu Chen and Wang Ying out, then gently closed the conference room door.

Only Ji Congyan remained inside.

Today, she was wearing a relatively casual dark suit. The refined look of her striped tie slightly subdued her overly bright features, making her appear elegant and steady.

She stood before the huge floor-to-ceiling window, looking down at the bustling and beautiful river view below. Her shadow was straight and slender.

She held her phone. A string of numbers was displayed on the screen.

“Hello.”

The instant the call connected, a gentle voice mixed with hoarseness came through the receiver.

Ji Congyan said, “It’s me.”

The other end clearly paused.

“President Ji.”

“This matter is Yu Chen’s fault. She sincerely wants to apologize. Your manager Lin Ran wants Yu Chen to personally go to the hotel and apologize to you. But I remember that your body suffered rather serious injuries, so it should be inconvenient for you to meet guests for the time being.”

“I’ll provide you with an apology plan. Yu Chen will apologize to you through a video call later. Once your body has recovered, she will come to your door a second time to apologize properly. What do you think, Miss Bo?”

The presidential suite was filled with a faint scent of medicinal herbs.

The woman supported herself against the wall with one hand, while the other pressed against the side of her lower back. She wore a bathrobe loosely, revealing the various blue and purple marks on her neck.

She walked slowly. If she moved even a little faster, those brows, as gentle as spring water, would press inward, her forehead would crease, and she would breathe lightly in pain.

“What conflict between Miss Yu and me could possibly alarm President Ji?”

Ji Congyan heard the strain in her voice. After a moment of silence, her gaze swept aimlessly across the river.

“Does it hurt a lot?”

Compared with when she had mentioned Yu Chen just now, her tone carried a few more traces of unnatural stiffness.

Bo Shuang’s steps stopped.

“Mm. It hurts.”

Ji Congyan said, “Sorry. Would another two hundred million be enough?”

“Does President Ji think two hundred million can solve this?” The gentle voice gave away no emotion.

Ji Congyan immediately raised the price.

“Three hundred million. Four hundred million.”

Each time she increased the amount, she paused, waiting for Bo Shuang’s answer. However, even when she reached six hundred million, the other party still did not respond.

Her gaze gradually grew cold.

“Miss Bo, know when to stop.”

“I agree to the new plan.”

Bo Shuang left behind that sentence and hung up. Only the busy tone remained in the receiver.

Her tall, slender figure stood before the glass. Only after the busy tone ended did Ji Congyan squeeze out a cold sentence through her lips.

“She doesn’t know what’s good for her.”
