Chapter 184: A simple-minded son of a rich man

Yu Yuehan took the plate of crab meat from her and passed her an empty plate.
Then, he slowly picked up some crab meat and put it inside his mouth under her resentful gaze.
Very quickly, the entire crab, which had just been peeled, was inside his stomach.
Hairy crabs were in season, and they tasted fresh and juicy.
The taste of the crab roe was especially heavenly…
Yu Yuehan narrowed his eyes slightly. Compared to the sumptuous meal in front of him, he was more drawn to the cheeky manner in which Nian Xiaomu was peeling the crabs.
Using both her hands to hold the hairy crab, she cracked open the shell and pulled off the legs, then placed all the meat onto the empty plate.
Then, she took a bite of crab roe that she had hidden on her own plate while wearing a look of bliss on her face.
Grinning like a vixen which had succeeded in her trickery and misdeed, she thought that he had not realized what she was up to.
Yu Yuehan’s eyes flickered as the corners of his lips curled up uncontrollably…
“Welcome to our department, Supervisor Nian. May I offer you a toast?” a voice suddenly spoke, breaking the harmony between the two of them.
Yu Yuehan raised his brow and looked to her side.
Nervously holding a glass of red wine in his hands, a male colleague from the public relations department was looking intently at Nian Xiaomu.
The look on his face was like that of a girl who was about to make a love confession to the boy she liked.
His face was filled with anticipation and the fear of rejection.
On the other hand, Nian Xiaomu was like a simple-minded son of a rich man who did not sense the intention of the other person at all. She dropped the crab shell in her hand and raised the wine glass in front of her. Then, she clinked his glass with hers and gulped down all the wine in her glass.
“It’s up to you, but it’s ‘bottoms up’ for me!”
Her forthright manner was mind-boggling even for the male colleague.
Before the male colleague could say anything more, she had already sat down and focused her attention on peeling the crabs.
It was as if nothing mattered more than the big hairy crab in her hands…
Yu Yuehan glanced over at the despondent male colleague who was retreating back to his seat, and the corners of his lips curled upward even more.
Even when he saw that Nian Xiaomu had secretly eaten two of his crab legs, he maintained a calm face.
“After you finish peeling this one, the rest are all for you.”
“…” Nian Xiaomu looked up at him in bewilderment. She was not sure why the iceberg was suddenly acting so humane toward her.
Hearing that she was going to be relieved of her duty, she worked twice as hard to pull out the crab meat for him.
Before she was done with the crab in her hand, another male colleague came over to offer her a toast.
“Congratulations, Supervisor Nian. You have only just joined the public relations department, but you already managed to close the deal with Shangxin.” This male colleague had obviously prepared himself well after what had happened earlier. Without waiting for a reply from Nian Xiaomu, he offered to drink up first and emptied his wine glass.
Then, he looked straight into her eyes and offered a heartfelt compliment to her, “You are very beautiful.”
“You’re too kind! Everyone worked hard for the endorsement deal, so let’s look out for each other in the future,” Nian Xiaomu raised her glass and replied with a smile.
She was a newcomer to the department, so it was a good thing to maintain good relationships with her colleagues.
Anyway, it was only drinking a glass of wine, thus there was no need to act coy about it.
Seeing that she was so straightforward, everyone at the table raised their glasses and accepted her toast.
It was actually an ordinary departmental gathering, but in that split second, it turned into a drinking contest.
As he watched the employees of the public relations department, especially the male colleagues, form a line to offer toasts to Nian Xiaomu, Yu Yuehan’s handsome face grew darker as his eyebrows knitted together.
It was the first time that the female colleagues in the public relations department had ever had a meal with the president of their company at the same table.
Furthermore, he was their heartthrob.
A few girls mustered up the courage to offer him a toast, but silently backed off when they noticed the icy look on his face.
It made everyone shrivel in fear.
