Wild Crimson Rose: Beloved Handyman Prince's Courtesan Wife Chapter 80

Long Chengyi opened his mouth . "That's right . That boy said that if we supported him up to the Manager seat, we wouldn't not only have to not pay our share this time, but we would gain endless benefits in the future . "

'Boy? What boy? You're a boy! You look more like a boy than him! And when did you two get so close? Able to read each other's eyes . Weren't you guys sitting as far apart from each other as possible the whole time? Or more like Yanwen Moli was . When did you two suddenly become so close?' Shen Tianyu thought to herself .

Wuchang's expression didn't change from her friendly customer service smile, but a cold light flashed in her eyes . Rong Jian had even less of a change in expression . Shen Tianyu, needless to say, looked as if she already knew . "What else did he say?" She asked them .

Long Chengyi opened his fan to cover up a disdainful smile . "He kept going on and on, preaching that men should rule over women and that it was against the laws of the world for a woman to be in charge . "

"What matters is ability . " Yanwen Moli threw in his two cents about that preaching, his eyebrows were even twisted into a frown .

"Oh? Why didn't you take the deal?" Shen Tianyu didn't need to ask if they thought the same . Seeing their genuine reactions right now, it was clear what they had thought about that Vice-Manager's preaching .

"Why should I help an ugly man like him to harm such a beautiful and vivid woman . " Long Chengyi waved his sleeves, as if indignant they thought he would even consider it .

"Ability . " Yanwen Moli replied . It was alluding to what he said earlier . Basically, if you want to climb up, depend on your ability, don't go through some backdoor .

'This Yanwen Moli . . . I can definitely tell he gets the short end of the stick a lot . ' Shen Tianyu thought with amusement . Not everyone was righteous to such a degree, there will be people that used this sense of righteousness for their own gains . 'Well, he's from Xiaoyao so they shouldn't allow him to suffer too much . '

"Thank you very much fro telling me, gentlemen . I wil be sure to pas this on to the Pavilion Master . "Shen Tianyu cupped her hands to them in thanks without getting up from her seat . Wuchang, on the other hand, got up and gave a proper bow, without word .

"No problem . If either lady needs any help in the future, feel free to contact me through the Long Clan . " Long Chengyi waved his fan with a fox-like captivating smile and left . Yanwen Moli gave a curt bow before following him to leave .

Shen Tianyu got up . "Now then, Wuchang, you go send word to the Pavilion Master . " She said with a subtle wink at her . She then turned to Rong Jian, who still looked like a vinegar jar . "Alright la . They're gone . Come, come . Don't be so upset . As my fiancee, how can you be so easily jealous?" Shen Tianyu pulled him up . Rong Jian grudgingly followed behind her .

"Tian'er is so amazing, what if someone else falls for you? Too many bees . "

" . . . " Shen Tianyu opened her mouth, only to close it again . In the end, she gave him a look mixed with exasperation and helplessness . She spent the next shichen(1) trying to coax him out of his bad mood in a room at the auction hall . After a whole shichen, Rong Jian was finally in a good enough mood for Shen Tianyu to leave .

"I still have things I want to talk about with Wuchang, we haven't seen each other in so long . Now we have a chance to catch up . Why don't you go back first?" Shen Tianyu suggested .

"I'll wait here for you . " Rong Jian answered .

"You think I'll run away?" She asked playfully . "Alright, alright . I'll make it short then . Wait for me okay?"

Rong Jian nodded with a slight smile on his face .

Shen Tianyu giggled and walked out of the room . Once she closed the door, her smile dropped off her face . A conflicted look replaced the smile . She leaned her head on the door, her hand still touching it . 'I'm sorry . . . I can't say that you have no need to worry . Even if I can lie, I don't want to lie to you . I know that's what you wanted to hear, you wanted to hear my reassurance, that I have feelings for you, something that, even until now, I haven't said . But, I just can't . I don't want to lie to you, and all the more I can't lie to myself . I'm sorry . . . I promise, once I have developed feelings for you, I will tell you . But right now, I do not love you romantically . ' Shen Tianyu revealed a self- deprecating smile . Occupying such a good man when she didn't even like him, how hateful is she? If other women knew, they would probably try to scratch her to death even at the cost of their lives . She looked down at her arm, her covered arms and her expression became even sadder . 'I'm occupying his heart right now, but if he ever saw these . . . would I still hold a place in his heart? After all, men loved beauty the most . Just like my nature, I look pretty on the surface, but I'm so ugly underneath all this extravagant clothing . Who will want me?'

After berating herself for a while longer, Shen Tianyu straightened up . She used her sleeves to wipe her wet eyes and lightly slapped here cheeks . A calm smile blossomed on her face and she turned to walk towards the Manager's Office .

. . .

Shen Tianyu opened the doors to the Manager's Office . As she expected, only Wuchang was there . She walked to the wooden couch and laid down as if she was laying down on a chaise lounge(2) .

"Have you decided what you want to do?" She asked as she picked up a cup of tea that had been prepared already .

"This subordinate will follow Miss's arrangements . " Wuchang respectfully said from her table seat .
