Why Aren’t You Cultivating Immortality? (GL) Chapter 70

“Sister Little Bai.” An Huaijian called her very warmly. Just from the way she addressed Bai Moqing, one could tell this warmth came from her older sister, An Huaigu.
For Sister An’s sake, Bai Moqing was gentle with An Huaijian. “Are you here to see President Xiao?”
“No. I came to see you.” An Huaijian handed Bai Moqing the document that needed President Xiao’s signature. “Sister Little Bai, this needs you to give it to President Xiao for signing.”
Bai Moqing took the document and glanced at it. A budget application form.
Watching Bai Moqing sort the document and place it properly, An Huaijian responsibly asked, “Sister Little Bai, when can this be signed?”
“This afternoon.”
Bai Moqing lifted her head. An Huaijian leaned over the desk. A faint perfume drifted to Bai Moqing’s nose with the movement. An Huaijian raised a brow slightly. Her eyes and manner were very much like An Huaigu’s.
Bai Moqing leaned back. “Is there anything else?”
“Yes.” A lock of hair carrying a lavender scent fell down. An Huaijian lifted a hand and tucked it behind her ear, then winked at Bai Moqing as if trying to charm her.
Could she have failed to like President Xiao and switched to liking Bai Moqing instead?
Bai Moqing’s little heart jumped. The two sisters really did use similar ways to tempt people: leaning forward, tossing hair, and throwing meaningful looks.
“Sister Little Bai, I heard President Xiao likes you. Is that true?”
This question was hard to answer. Her closeness with Xiao Xing was something everyone had seen, but Xiao Xing had never personally admitted their relationship inside the company.
After thinking briefly, Bai Moqing asked back, “Why are you asking this?”
An Huaijian looked back at the office across from them, then moved closer to Bai Moqing and changed the question. “Sister Little Bai, are you single?”
“Do you want to pursue me?” These sisters were really hard to describe.
An Huaijian froze, then laughed. “No, no, no. Sister Little Bai, you misunderstood. I want to match you with my sister.”
“Me and your sister?” Bai Moqing was baffled. What kind of move was this?
Remembering that An Huaijian had just glanced toward the opposite office like a thief when she mentioned matching Bai Moqing with Sister An, Bai Moqing was not sure whether An Huaijian knew about Sister An and Assistant Tang’s relationship.
She remembered that Sister An’s younger sister had not liked Assistant Tang before, and seemed to have some misunderstandings about her. It was necessary to raise Assistant Tang’s favorability a little.
Bai Moqing straightened her expression. “Your sister already has someone she likes. That person is very outstanding.”
“I know. She was chased by Tang Yue.” An Huaijian rested her chin in both hands and acted cute. “But the person my sister liked at first was you. She talked about you to me all the time. ‘Our Little Bai made coffee for me today.’ ‘Little Bai went to hot pot with me.’ Oh, right. She even bought a lot of cat food cans to please you…”
Bai Moqing turned her head and looked sympathetically toward the next office. If President Xiao heard these words, Sister An would probably suffer again.
The small ripple caused by Bai Moqing’s divine sense caught Xiao Xing’s attention. Xiao Xing split off a thread of divine sense to spy on Bai Moqing. Seeing An Huaijian talking with Bai Moqing in the office, her eyes cooled slightly.
She raised a hand, signaling An Huaigu, who was reporting the advertising budget for the new season, to stop. “Why is Huaijian at the company?”
The events from a few minutes ago were still vivid. An Huaigu did not dare throw herself onto the spear now. She turned to Tang Yue and sent her a pleading signal.
Sadly, Assistant Tang seemed to have set up a signal jammer. She lowered her head and looked at the document in her hands, acting as if she knew nothing and not even glancing at An Huaigu.
An Huaigu pulled at the corners of her mouth and squeezed out a flattering smile. She turned back to Xiao Xing. “The company hired a group of new employees last month. Little Jian was one of them.”
Before President Xiao could misunderstand her, An Huaigu raised her paw and swore, “I knew nothing about it. I only found out she had joined Xiao Group when Li Changyan came to ask me whether An Huaijian had anything to do with me. Tang Yue was there at the time too.”
Tang Yue lifted her head and glanced at An Huaigu from the corner of her eye. This woman felt no guilt at all. She had dragged Tang Yue into the water on purpose.
Closing the document, Tang Yue agreed, “Mm. I was there that day too.”
Sensing Xiao Xing’s divine sense, Bai Moqing immediately pressed An Huaijian’s hand. “Stop talking.”
The sudden touch made An Huaijian freeze. The warmth from Bai Moqing’s palm traveled from the back of her hand to her brain, bringing an indescribable comfort. She wanted to feel it more carefully, but Bai Moqing withdrew her hand.
An Huaijian glanced at Bai Moqing’s hand. Her fingers were pale and slender, very well kept. Her pink-white nails had no polish on them, and each nail was trimmed neatly and rounded. Very suitable for… being the attacker.
Realizing what she was thinking, An Huaijian quickly shook her head and threw those messy thoughts away.
She had really been single too long. She could look at someone’s hand and think of things like that.
“Sorry, Sister Little Bai. I am desperate and asking anyone who might help. I do not want my sister to be with Tang Yue, and I have no other way, so I came to you.”
Bai Moqing smiled faintly. “You do not need to apologize. Actually, the things you mentioned are all ordinary matters. Sister An and I are only friends and coworkers. As for Sister An and Assistant Tang, their relationship is very good. If someone destroys their relationship, it will hurt both Assistant Tang and Sister An.”
She continued, “Assistant Tang is excellent. She is very capable, but treats people with ease. She matches Sister An well. I can see that she is sincere toward Sister An. You do not need to worry for her.”
An Huaijian silently digested this for a moment, then pulled the topic away from her sister and Tang Yue. “Then you and President Xiao…”
Bai Moqing did not want to answer this question. She sent An Huaijian away tactfully. “You should go back to work. If an intern is caught wandering departments and chatting, it will affect your chance of becoming regular staff.”
Not denying and not admitting. An Huaijian understood the answer.
She had been in the company for almost a month and had heard most of the gossip. Although President Xiao had never publicly announced it, the entire company, from top to bottom, already accepted that she and Bai Moqing were a couple.
As for her sister, who had clearly been taken away by Tang Yue, she had been completely stolen from under Bai Moqing’s nose.
“I will go back to work.” An Huaijian said goodbye to Bai Moqing. When she reached the door, she stopped and turned back. “I have liked A-Xing for many years, from before I came of age until after.”
After speaking, An Huaijian did not leave right away. She openly watched Bai Moqing’s reaction.
Bai Moqing’s face did not change at all. Her eyes calmly looked at An Huaijian. But it would be a lie to say she felt nothing hearing someone else confess to Xiao Xing. Under the desk, her hand had already curled into a fist.
“If A-Xing likes you, I will give up.” There was no hostility in An Huaijian’s eyes. In her life’s dictionary, there was no such thing as a love rival. Liking someone was either one-sided or mutual.
From An Huaigu, she had learned what kind of person Bai Moqing was. If the person Xiao Xing liked was Bai Moqing, she was willing to bless them.
“If she does not like you, I will keep waiting for her.”
If Bai Moqing nodded, she would be admitting her relationship with Xiao Xing with her own mouth. She hesitated in her heart. After several seconds, her clenched hand loosened.
She smiled and answered, “We like each other.”
Strangely, after hearing Bai Moqing’s answer, An Huaijian did not feel sad. Instead, she felt a kind of relief, as if she could finally let go.
So all these years, she had only been used to liking Xiao Xing.
Thinking back to the first time she had seen Xiao Xing, An Huaijian suddenly understood. Her liking for Xiao Xing had been admiration.
She raised a finger in front of her lips. “I will keep it secret.”
One could judge An Huaijian’s character from Sister An’s character. Bai Moqing nodded. “Mm. I believe you.”
If she had not believed her, no matter what An Huaijian said, Bai Moqing would not have admitted her relationship with Xiao Xing.
“President Xiao, should I go bring my sister up?” An Huaigu asked, her heart trembling.
Xiao Xing’s face suddenly grew gentle, and there was even a smile at the corner of her eyes. “No need. Continue talking about next season’s ad placement and budget distribution.”
Under their gazes, Xiao Xing picked up her phone and quickly typed on the screen with both thumbs.
Half a minute later, Bai Moqing received a message from Xiao Xing. She swept a glance over the documents waiting on her desk and replied:
I will go home with you.
Going home alone was boring. Besides, there was still a little orange cat at home trapped in love. If Bai Moqing went back now, she would only disturb them.
Knowing Feiyue liked watching dramas, Yun Su had deliberately sat on the living room sofa to cultivate. But Feiyue, who had suddenly understood her own heart, had no interest in the drama playing on the screen. All her attention was on Yun Su.
While Yun Su had been unconscious, Feiyue had secretly licked Yun Su several times in her little orange cat form. Of course, only the face. She was very reserved and had not licked any other part of Yun Su.
Looking at Yun Su cultivating seriously, Feiyue bit the corner of her lip.
She really wanted to lick Yun Su’s cheek.
She did not know how Yun Su cultivated, but her skin was getting whiter and whiter. The heroic and gentle beauty in her brows had blended together, making her look more and more handsome and beautiful. That face so close before Feiyue was becoming more and more attractive.
Feiyue lowered her head and looked at herself.
She was in human form right now, and Yun Su was no longer unconscious.
She could not lick her!
Feiyue’s gaze was too hot and full of longing. Yun Su could not ignore it even if she wanted to. Feeling the temperature around them slowly rise, Yun Su opened her eyes and looked at Feiyue.
Their eyes met without warning. Feiyue’s face turned red with a whoosh. She quickly turned her head toward the television. “I was not staring at you just now.”
It was like hiding silver here while telling everyone there was no silver here. She had exposed herself without being asked.
By coincidence, on the television screen, the heroine had been chased by enemies, fallen off a cliff, and then been rescued by the male lead. She now lay unconscious on a bed. The male lead, gazing at her deeply, could not help kissing her cheek.
“Yun’er, wake up soon.”
Yunyun, wake up soon.
It was almost exactly what Feiyue had said after licking Yun Su’s cheek.
Feiyue wanted to howl. Why did this heroine’s name also have Yun in it?
A breath suddenly brushed her cheek. Feiyue turned her head. At some point, Yun Su had come to her side. The corners of Yun Su’s mouth were slightly raised in a smile, and her breath fell over Feiyue’s cheek again and again.
“Yue’er…”
Why… why was she calling her Yue’er?
Feiyue swallowed and closed her eyes without thinking.
