Chapter 708: Chapter 706: Major News
He Group Building.
Many people were in line, many in wheelchairs, but that was nothing new, others came with respirators, lying on surgical beds… all waiting to head to Queen’s Constellation Star.
When Sally stepped in, she thought she was in the wrong place.
She stepped out to confirm it was not a hospital, then came back in.
Nian Fang saw Sally arriving and hurriedly approached her with a handsome young man, holding a gift bag in her hand.
“Fangfang, when did you arrive?” Sally greeted.
Nian Fang replied, “A little after seven. Sister Su, this is my boyfriend Peng Junhao.”
“Nice to meet you, Sister Su,” Peng Junhao, his eyes full of admiration, extended his hand first.
Sally smiled briefly but did not shake his hand, exchanging polite pleasantries, “Hello.”
Nian Fang tapped Peng Junhao’s hand, subtly glancing at him, then turned to Sally with a grateful smile, “Sister Su, this is the tea my dad asked me to bring you. It’s the early spring tea he personally picked this year, our family’s ancient craft.”
Sally noticed an elderly man with white hair, sitting in a wheelchair, looking this way from among the people in line.
“Okay, please thank the old man for me,” Sally took the gift bag, “I’ll surely appreciate this precious tea.”
“As long as Sister Su doesn’t mind,” Nian Fang saw Yan Ze entering with sunglasses and said to Sally, “Then I’ll leave you to it, I’m going to check on my dad over there.”
“If you need anything, just let me know,” Sally told Nian Fang.
“Sure, Sister Su,” Nian Fang tapped the distracted Peng Junhao, signaling it was time to leave.
Peng Junhao finally snapped back to reality, hurriedly said to Sally, “Sister Su, could you please autograph for me, you’re my goddess!”
Sally smiled politely.
Nian Fang felt embarrassed, quickly pulling him away.
And whispered scoldingly, “Don’t you know the basic etiquette of shaking hands? If the woman doesn’t extend her hand, the man should not reach out first.”
“I’ve never heard of that,” Peng Junhao still regretted not having shaken hands with Sally.
…
Yan Ze immediately embraced Sally and walked toward the elevator.
Everyone was watching them.
People were ‘click-click’ taking photos and posting them to their social circles—[So excited!!! Going to Queen’s Constellation Star soon, met my idol Yan Ze and his partner (possibly real girlfriend) Sally, so beautiful! So pretty! Thrilled!]
Soon this social circle post started being wildly reposted, garnering millions of comments in no time…
After Sally entered the elevator, she looked up at Yan Ze, “In public, aren’t you afraid of scandals?”
“If I don’t make a move now, I really might have to come out,” Yan Ze leaned down and kissed her lips.
The elevator doors opened, and a few He Group staff members stood outside. Seeing the intimate pair inside the elevator, their eyes widened, mouths agape.
Right then, a young man rushed towards them, dropping to his knees with a thud, “I was wrong! Please, Brother Yan, give me another chance to reform.”
Yan Ze did not even look at him, asking the He Group’s staff, “Where is President He?”
The staff member hesitated, then said hastily, “In the game room.”
Yan Ze whispered to Sally, “You go ahead, I need to handle something quickly, I’ll find you shortly.”
Sally looked at the young man kneeling on the floor, “Alright.”
…
The door to the game room was half-open, and the sounds of gaming came from within.
Upon entering, Sally saw a little girl with white hair curled up on the sofa, holding a controller and playing a game.
On the large screen, the battle was intense. One of the white-haired female players wiped out all the monsters with one ultimate move!
He Cheng leaned on a nearby sofa, legs crossed, leisurely and relaxed.
Although he was supposedly playing the game, his gaze was fixed on the little girl, hardly watching the game screen at all. Without stopping, he quickly maneuvered the controller.
“Mumu, how did you turn back into a human form?” Sally asked with a laugh.
Mumu turned around and said to her mother, “Mom, you’re here. It’s easier to play games with a controller as a human. Also, I’ve learned how to play games.”
Sally praised, “Mumu plays really well. Can you go back and compete with your brothers and sisters now?”
“Wait till I finish this round,” Mumu replied, eyes glued to the screen, completely focused.
Sally said to He Cheng, “You’ve been a great help these past few days.”
He Cheng invited Sally to sit down, “It’s my pleasure, where is Yan Ze?”
“He was stopped by someone. He’s now in the meeting room,” Sally responded.
He Cheng picked up his phone to check, “Hmm, it was his former assistant, he leaked his schedule.”
“What happened?”
“Do you remember how Hua Siqi arrived before you on the day of the live broadcast?”
“Yes,” Sally nodded, “What about it?”
“It was supposed to be just you and Yan Ze, arriving an hour early. Everyone else was supposed to arrive after eight.”
“…”
“But Hua Siqi bribed one of Yan Ze’s assistants, so she had time alone with Yan Ze. However, this displeased Yan Ze, which led to her being kicked out of the production team.”
“So there were these inside stories. I thought you were tired of her, so you dumped her.” Sally took out a bottle of Spiritual Spring Water from the System Space, inserted a straw, and handed it to Mumu to drink.
Mumu obediently finished the water.
Watching Mumu’s perfect and beautiful profile, He Cheng sipped his tea, “You misunderstood! I have no special relationship with Hua Siqi. It’s just that a sub-brand under He Group wanted her as a spokesperson to discuss a collaboration, which has now been canceled.”
“Is that so?” Sally recalled seeing Hua Siqi arguing vehemently with the staff of He Group in the parking lot, where she explosively claimed, “Then why did she say she was carrying your child and strongly demanded to see you?”
‘Pfft~’ He Cheng spat out the tea, “Impossible!”
[Host, it’s absolutely impossible for He Cheng to impregnate a female as he is completely infertile.] Aunt Xiaomei said to Sally with gossipy enthusiasm.
[Really? Is that true?]
[Aunt Xiaomei is from the Offspring System, an absolute authority in this field!]
[… Can’t it be treated?]
[The chance for reincarnation is higher.] Aunt Xiaomei replied.
Sally looked at He Cheng with a trace of pity in her eyes.
Mumu asked, “Did you mate with her? If you did, there’s a possibility of pregnancy.”
Sally stared at Mumu in shock, “You, how do you know this?”
“The teachers at Divine Beast Academy taught us. They also told us to love ourselves, not to be promiscuous, and even in heat, there are ways to control it. We must never act like wild beasts, and love must come from the heart,” Mumu explained.
“… Who’s your teacher?” Sally was curious.
“Elder Zong,” Mumu replied.
Sally was speechless.
He Cheng, listening on the side, blushed with shame, “Well, I’m going to check on Yan Ze.”
He seemed rather eager to flee the scene.
“Mom, I finished this round. I want to go back to System Space to try Aunt Xiaomei’s games,” Mumu said to Sally.
Sally nodded, “While you’re at it, ask your brothers and sisters if they want to come out and play.”
“Sure.” Mumu jumped into Sally’s arms, “Mom, I really love you~”
With tears welling up in her eyes, Sally hugged her, her voice extremely gentle, “Mom loves you too, kiss~”
Mumu transformed into a little white cat, squinting her eyes, basking in the motherly love from Sally, and happily returned to System Space.
