There Really Is An Inside Story

Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

On the stage, Through Your Black Hair My Hand dexterously placed the diamond necklace on Peaches Aren't Naughty's neck, and the skillfulness of his movements suggested that he had done this countless times already.

When Liang Kaiwen saw his chairman finally take the stand, the tension inside of him dissipated.

As soon as Liang Kaiwen relaxed, there was no longer anything left for the host to do. While watching from a close distance, he recited an old poem in high spirits, "New moon tonight, lie down watching double stars. A mass of green flags, a precious pearl."

He couldn't help but feel complacent. Originally, all he planned to do was to carry out the CEO'S instructions— dispose of the diamond necklace.

Of course, no matter whether he did it as an Orlando employee, or as the CEO's most helpful personal assistant, he couldn't carry out the task too unceremoniously.

If he sent it out, then he must do it in a slick and meaningful way!

What if the chairman was satisfied, but still complained to him afterward?

Liang Kaiwen felt that he must bring the CEO to the scene and let the chairman personally witness the historic moment when the exorbitant necklace was given away for free.

The CEO originally only agreed to sit back and watch, and didn't intend to participate in the masquerade. Of course, a childish masquerade of this kind wasn't really suited for him.

The banquet hall was dominated by male netizens. Everyone was either dressed casually or outlandishly. Only the chairman was dressed in formal attire, so he stood out.

In order to prevent the chairman from being recognized, Liang Kaiwen bought a reindeer hood from a male netizen.

The chairman initially refused, but in the end, he put on the headgear and went into the banquet hall, and danced three dances with Lin Yao.

What Liang Kaiwen didn't expect was that the Hang City Star would turn out to be Lin Yao!

It was also to his credit that the chairman was able to climb the stage. If it hadn't been for his wise decision to apply for a Hang City Forum ID, this kind of good luck would fall on another guy.

The more Liang Kaiwen thought about it, the more he felt that he had done a good job, and the effects were far beyond his expectations!

Immediately afterward, he hurriedly seized the chance to announce before the host could, "Next, it is time for the Hang City Star to kiss the Lucky Star. Let us look forward to what kind of splendid scene will come from the collision of the two stars."

Not only do they have to kiss, but it also has to be splendid?

What would make a kiss splendid?

Lin Yao didn't doubt that this matter wouldn't be so simple!

Furthermore, even though she had mistaken Through Your Black Hair My Hand for Hot Pot Is Too Hot, he seemed to have no intention of taking off the reindeer headgear, even when he was on stage.

Lin Yao dared not engage in wishful thinking by interpreting his actions as consideration for her, it was more likely that he was doing this out of disdain for her.

Yep, by now she was quite certain that the other person was doing this out of disdain for her.

Before, all it took was for Lin Yao to pull at his arm a little for the muscles on his entire body to stiffen up.

Afterward, Lin Yao gently bumped his arms, and he hurriedly moved away to avoid her touch.

The same happened afterward. He kept evading her again and again... he was extremely resistant to her approaching him.

In this situation, how could Lin Yao kiss him?

What if, when she approached him, he pushed her away, and then fled... In that case, no doubt she will lose the diamond, and not only would she become a laughing stock tonight, but also a laughing stock for the entire Hang City Forum!

When the TV station broadcasted the scene...

Lin Yao couldn't help but suck in her breath. From now on, wouldn't she become a joke that all of the Hang City residents laughed about in their spare time?

She didn't need the diamond, but she wasn't willing to become a laughing stock!

But, then again, the other person was wearing headgear, so what else did she have to worry about?

Yes, they were separated by the headgear!

Lin Yao made up her mind. She suddenly stepped forward, clutched his neck tightly with both hands, then tipped her toes. In the midst of the screaming crowd, she quickly planted a fiery red kiss mark on the other person's cheek as fast as possible.

After she finished, Lin Yao said to him softly, "Sorry!"

Finally, she released the other person and took a big step back before Through Your Black Hair My Hand was able to react to keep a safe distance from her.

The audience screamed again.

After the kiss, Qin Rongze was still in a trance. All this happened so fast that he couldn't respond at all.

Liang Kaiwen was also stunned. He didn't expect Lin Yao, who usually appeared meek and timid, to have such a bold side, and didn't expect his boss to be so affected by her...perhaps because he was wearing headgear, his reaction speed was slowed down?

Huh?

What kind of kiss is done through a headgear?

Liang Kaiwen quipped sarcastically, "I didn't expect Peaches Aren't Naughty to be so passionate, but there was a little problem with the kissing session just then. Through Your Black Hair My Hand didn't have the chance to remove his headgear. …"

He shrugged. "Therefore, that kiss was invalid."

Kiss...invalid...invalid...

Lin Yao was shell-shocked by that sentence.

The stunned expression on the face of the girl with snow-white skin and red lips was clearly displayed on the big screen.

"Hahahaha…" The audience burst into laughter.

Liang Kaiwen knew that Lin Yao was a shy and meek girl at heart.

If he tried a little harder, the girl would soon be forced to tears.

As long as the chairman saved the damsel in distress, he would soon be able to bring the beautiful girl home.

As long as the chairman had the beautiful girl in his arms, he would no longer need to get up so early, wait no, he would never have to work overtime again, or at least wouldn't drag others along with him when he worked overtime.

Perhaps he himself would have more free time to have an enriching love life in the future?

Wonderful!

In high spirits, Liang Kaiwen raised his eyebrows, then said in a manner that he thought was suave but actually came across as flimsy. "Do you mind kissing him again?"

This person obviously had shady motives!

Lin Yao had no intention of being treated as a pushover by those with unscrupulous intentions. "I mind!"

Liang Kaiwen froze, "Huh?" She's this stubborn?

Lin Yao had already regained her composure by this time, and her mind was spinning fast. "There was no mention of a kiss for the Lucky Star during the selection process of the Hang City Star on the Hang City Forum's announcement, and such a thing as the Lucky Star itself doesn't exist."

An ambivalent smile appeared on Liang Kaiwen's face. The girl had some guts, but she was still too naive.

He wasn't bragging, but, in terms of eloquence, little sister Lin Yao was definitely not his match...

Unexpectedly, Lin Yao didn't even give him the opportunity to speak, and said calmly, "However, on the Hang City Forum, there was no mention of the Hang City Star receiving this diamond as a souvenir, which can be regarded as an additional reward. Therefore, I didn't refuse this additional condition of kissing Through Your Black Hair My Hand, and this can be regarded as a transaction. When I stepped forward to kiss Through Your Black Hair My Hand on the hand, I indicated that I accepted the conditions of the transaction."

Liang Kaiwen's eyes flickered slightly, but when he was about to speak, he saw the chairman shaking his head at him.

After Lin Yao finally finished explaining, she concluded, "Now I've achieved the additional condition, and you've given me the additional reward, I think the transaction between us has been completed."

"Wow-ka-ka ---Peach Aren't Naughty is on a roll!"

"Hahaha, Peach Aren't Naughty is impressive!"

Liang Kaiwen felt that although Lin Yao's words were reasonable, there were a bunch of loopholes, so as long as he...

Lin Yao added, "I don't accept more added conditions for a reason. If I agree to this unfounded request now, there is no guarantee that there won't be more requests in the future, such as before I kiss him I have to remove my makeup or brush my teeth or let this gentleman go take a bath and change his clothes first."

"Ao-ao-ao! Peach Aren't Naughty you're awesome!"

"Peach Aren't Naughty is so well-spoken."

Liang Kaiwen felt like everything he had planned on saying had been refuted before he could even open his mouth.

Liang Kaiwen himself believed that he had keen observation skills when it came to other people's mannerisms. At the moment, he was discreetly observing his chairman. But that damn reindeer hood covered his face tightly, he couldn't tell what the chairman was thinking at all!

And he was the one who put this headgear on the CEO...

Liang Kaiwen couldn't help but say, somewhat awkwardly, "This is kinda against the rules, but since everyone in the room agrees, then we won't dissent either."

He didn't think that he was less eloquent than Lin Yao, since even the host of Hang City TV station was no match against him.

But since even the chairman had no objection, what else could he say?

Then he saw the "meek and timid" girl was acting like she won a battle. She excitedly patted the CEO's shoulders and even boldly extended her hand to give him a high-five. What was even more unexpected was that the usually aloof CEO didn't refuse!

This this this...what did the chairman mean by this?

Was it possible that he alienated everyone by causing such a ruckus?

So, why on earth did he even go to such great lengths to do this in the first place?

...

Liang Kaiwen was a little discouraged. After he said a few commercial lines that he had prepared for Orlando before taking the stage, he returned the microphone to the host and left the stage.

The most exasperating thing was that the netizens, who knew nothing of the truth, were actually cheering and applauding his departure!

When Liang Kaiwen walked out of the crowd, he heard some people still discussing the Lucky Star that night.

Netizen A: "I think Through Your Black Hair My Hand seems quite upright, so there's no way he's an insider!"

Liang Kaiwen thought smugly, I'm afraid you don't know yet, but there really is an inside story!

Netizen B: "I think so too, he must be a handsome and modest gentleman."

Liang Kaiwen secretly thought sarcastically with indignance, a gentleman? Yeah right!

Netizen C: "I don't think so…"

Liang Kaiwen internally praised them, The audience has discerning eyes... No wait, Through Your Black Hair My Hand was his own ID!

Netizen C: "Through Your Black Hair My Hand, that ID name sounds super trashy, so the person behind it is probably a creep."

Liang Kaiwen nearly choked on himself.

Netizen D: "I think so too. Through Your Black Hair My Hand must be very ugly, so he's embarrassed to show his true face."

Liang Kaiwen was shocked and enraged. Inexplicably, he felt some fear as well, but he couldn't refute them.

He decided to get out of there as soon as possible.
