Chapter 40: Treat Yourself Well

Yang Chen touched the damp marks on his face and chuckled, "Little sister, you're not being fair. You still have oil on your lips and you're kissing me. If I can't clean it properly, you'll have to come back and kiss it off again."

The girl with short hair pretended to be angry, "Hmph, I let you call me brother and always indulge you. None of the sisters here are younger than you. Don't push your luck."

"Hehe, just kidding." Yang Chen suddenly remembered that he had just turned twenty-three this year. Many college students in Yanxia had already graduated at twenty-four. He could only be considered a younger brother, not an elder.

The group of female colleagues picked their favorite food and happily returned to their seats to eat while working. Occasionally, a few bold girls would flirt with Yang Chen, making him feel like his salivary glands were working overtime. He had to keep eating the leftover food from the women.

At that moment, Yang Chen remembered something and turned to look at the only male colleague in the office, the fair-skinned Chen Bo, who was sitting in the corner tapping on the keyboard. Yang Chen realized he hadn't come to get breakfast. He picked up two buns and walked over.

"Chen Bo, have you had breakfast?"

Chen Bo turned nervously, "Not yet... not yet."

"Why didn't you come for breakfast? Don't you know I've got breakfast covered from now on?" Yang Chen smiled and handed the buns to Chen Bo. "Here, you need to eat breakfast. If you're still hungry, come to me. I have plenty."

Chen Bo accepted them gratefully but only took one bun out of the plastic bag and handed the other one back to Yang Chen. He mumbled somewhat embarrassedly, "I... I have a small appetite. One is enough for me."

Yang Chen almost choked. A man was standing in front of him, saying he had a small appetite and couldn't even finish two buns. It was a feeling of being both amused and exasperated.

Back at his desk, Yang Chen had just opened his computer when Liu Mingyu, dressed in a light purple dress, gracefully approached him. Today, she had a rose-colored hairpin in her wavy red hair, adding a playful touch to her mature charm. As she drew closer, a hint of lavender fragrance, reminiscent of musk, wafted in the air.

Yang Chen, relying on experience, concluded that this woman could definitely pull off various kinky moves in bed.

Unaware of Yang Chen's unsavory thoughts, Liu Mingyu glanced at Chen Bo with caution before speaking, "Xiao Yang, if you have some free time, try to care more about Xiao Chen in the future. He rarely speaks and seems quite lonely. While we all worry about him a bit, we're all girls, and we can't really treat him like a sister."

It seemed Liu Mingyu had a good heart, caring about her colleagues in the office. Yang Chen naturally didn't mind this small favor and nodded, saying, "I only buy breakfast and do some odd jobs anyway. It's necessary to care for colleagues and look out for our male counterparts."

Liu Mingyu chuckled softly, "People say you're so eloquent, but you seem quite slippery."

Zhao Hongyan, who was sitting nearby, turned around with a meaningful look and teased, "Mingyu, why don't you ask Yang Chen if he has a girlfriend? I think you two would make a good match."

Yang Chen, who couldn't take his eyes off Liu Mingyu, felt regretful upon hearing this. "Well... didn't I mention it before? I'm already married."

"You're married?!" Zhao Hongyan was stunned, then added with disbelief, "I can't believe it. You, with that lackadaisical appearance, managed to get a girl to marry you."

Yang Chen felt offended, his expression turning stern. "Lackadaisical? I'm quite upright, thank you very much. Hongyan, don't spread rumors."

"You were staring at Mingyu's chest just now. Do you think we didn't notice?" Zhao Hongyan rolled her eyes.

Liu Mingyu didn't find it embarrassing and smiled, covering her mouth. "Hongyan, stop teasing him. If this gets back to his wife, he might end up washing clothes on a washboard." With that, she gracefully walked away.

Yang Chen inwardly remarked that they were all cunning fox spirits; they saw everything but just didn't say it out loud. But since he had been found out, there was no need for sneakiness anymore. As he watched Liu Mingyu walk away, he couldn't help but swallow hard.

Zhao Hongyan was speechless at Yang Chen's bluntness but then chuckled, "Yang Chen, let me tell you a secret..."

"What secret?" Yang Chen leaned in, sensing there was more to her words.

"In fact, Zhang Cai feels really good to touch. You should give it a try when you have the chance," Zhao Hongyan said with a seductive glance.

Yang Chen envied Zhang Cai. This woman was indeed uninhibited. Perhaps spending time in this male-scarce environment at Yulei International had naturally made her more eager. He couldn't help but grin and ask, "How does yours compare to Zhang Cai's?"

Zhao Hongyan, initially teasing Yang Chen, was taken aback by the question and stumbled over her words. She didn't want to admit that Zhang Cai was better, but she also didn't want to appear too conceited by claiming she was superior. With a coy smile, she replied, "Are you curious? Once you've tried Zhang Cai's, I'll let you try mine, and then you can compare for yourself."

"It's a deal," Yang Chen chuckled.

Poor Zhang Cai had no idea that a certain part of her body had become a subject of gambling between two unscrupulous individuals.

Unabashed, Zhao Hongyan raised an eyebrow and teased, "If you can get all of us to let you touch, consider it a perk for being one of the rare male colleagues in our PR department."

Hearing this, Yang Chen felt elated. Although he had had relationships with many women in the past few years, he now realized that those encounters were merely physical releases. Simply chatting with the women in the office brought a new level of excitement.

As expected, the morning's work was exactly what Yang Chen needed. No one bothered him, so he happily played various online games like Gold Miner and Mahjong Connect. Occasionally, a few pretty girls would come over to ask him some questions about foreign languages, and Yang Chen could easily and quickly answer without much thought.

As noon approached, Zhang Cai and Liu Mingyu came over together. Seeing them, Zhao Hongyan also tidied up and got up.

Seeing the familiar "Mahjong Connect" screen on Yang Chen's computer, Zhang Cai chuckled, "Yang Chen, Hongyan said you were here just to pass the time, seems like she was right."

Yang Chen licked his slightly dry lips, touched his stomach, and smiled, "Are you guys going to eat?"

"Yes, in the company cafeteria. Will you join us?" Liu Mingyu asked.

Although Yang Chen had devoured seven or eight buns, five fried dough sticks, and two packs of soy milk in the morning, playing games was exhausting. So, he was feeling a bit hungry. He stood up without any embarrassment and said, "Of course, let's go together. Working so hard, we deserve to treat ourselves well."

The three women simultaneously rolled their eyes.
