Chapter 327: Chapter 167: 1 Million Secures a 50% Stake

"Yes, I’m done."

Xu Xiyue saw no change in Chen Mo’s expression. ’He must be satisfied with my answer,’ she thought.

"Come here."

Chen Mo smiled faintly and beckoned to her.

At the same time, he pushed off lightly with his feet, swiveling his chair to face the side of his desk.

Unsure of what he meant, Xu Xiyue walked over to him.

However, the moment she stood beside his chair, Chen Mo grabbed her pale wrist and pulled her slender body into his lap.

She landed sideways across his thighs, her shoulders resting uncontrollably against his chest.

"Since you’ve said as much, wouldn’t I be disappointing you if I didn’t make a move?"

Chen Mo looked down at the stunning face so close to his. As she watched with slightly startled eyes, he leaned in and kissed her enticing lips.

When Xu Xiyue felt Chen Mo’s lips on hers, her brain short-circuited for a moment.

She truly didn’t mind being kissed by Chen Mo.

But it was her first kiss. The new experience made her mind go slightly blank.

However, her mindset was different from most people’s. After that brief freeze, she quickly regained her composure.

She even began to actively participate, clumsily returning his kiss.

"KNOCK KNOCK KNOCK~"

"President Chen, I’ve shown Jiang Huiyang to the conference room... Ah, President Chen, President Xu, I’m so sorry..."

Chen Mo and Xu Xiyue were lost in a passionate kiss when the receptionist came to knock and inform Chen Mo that Jiang Huiyang had been brought to the conference room.

But before she could finish, she saw Chen Mo holding Xu Xiyue, the two of them locked in a heated embrace.

Seeing this, she blushed, stammered a mortified apology, and immediately hurried back toward the reception desk.

’It’s over, it’s over. I interrupted the boss and the missus getting intimate.’

’Am I going to get fired?’

Seeing her walk briskly from the direction of Chen Mo’s office with a red face, her colleagues grew curious, casting questioning glances her way.

"Yueyue, what’s wrong?"

"What did you see?"

Someone couldn’t help but ask.

"Top secret."

The receptionist replied with two words and headed back to her station.

Previously, a female employee had been docked pay for gossiping about the boss and his wife.

That was the first time, so it was just a symbolic punishment.

If she dared to blab, she wouldn’t get off so easily.

"Top secret?"

Hearing the receptionist’s reply, everyone glanced at each other, seeing the answer in their colleagues’ eyes.

They all remembered that not long ago, Xu Xiyue, their boss’s wife, had gone into Chen Mo’s office.

Combining that with Yueyue’s panicked escape, they could pretty much guess that the boss and his wife were getting cozy and Yueyue had walked in on them.

Still, everyone understood Chen Mo’s position.

After all, with a boss’s wife that beautiful, any one of them would want to be close to her all the time too.

「In Chen Mo’s office.」

After the interruption, Chen Mo released Xu Xiyue, who had gone limp in his arms.

Her beautiful eyes were hazy, a natural blush had crept onto her cheeks, and her breathing was a little more ragged than before.

"Compose yourself. Let’s go meet the project team."

Chen Mo smiled, gently stroking her hair.

"Okay."

Xu Xiyue placed a slender hand on Chen Mo’s arm and slowly pulled away from his warm embrace, her feet touching the floor again.

But as soon as she stood up, her legs felt a bit weak, and her graceful body nearly lost its balance.

Fortunately, Chen Mo caught her just in time, helping her to steady herself.

She straightened her silk blouse, tucking the hem back into her pencil skirt.

Then she ran her fingers through her hair a few times, retying the slightly messy strands.

Chen Mo stood beside her, watching her fix her appearance with a faint smile playing on his lips.

"Alright, shall we go meet the project team?"

Soon, Xu Xiyue had composed herself. Her eyes were clear again, and the blush had faded from her stunning face.

She instantly switched into work mode, exuding the air of a finance elite.

To her, the project was what mattered most.

"Let’s go."

Chen Mo looked her over, smiled, and started walking ahead.

She followed behind him.

As they reached the office door, Chen Mo seemed to remember something and stopped in his tracks.

"Next time you come into my office, you don’t need to knock. And remember to close the door after you come in."

Chen Mo turned his head and gave her a meaningful look.

"I understand."

Xu Xiyue met his gaze, understood the meaning in his eyes, and nodded slightly.

Since she was willing to let Chen Mo have an early taste and had just given him her first kiss...

The first time might be new, but the second time is familiar. This would surely become a regular occurrence.

’It’s better to keep the door closed, then.’

After that, Chen Mo and Xu Xiyue went to the company’s conference room together.

When they entered, they saw Jiang Huiyang already seated and waiting.

The receptionist had poured him a glass of water, which he was drinking nervously.

"Hello, President Chen! Hello, President Xu!"

Seeing Chen Mo and Xu Xiyue enter, he immediately stood up and bowed slightly to greet them.

While he was sitting in the conference room earlier, he had specifically asked his team members for information about Xu Xiyue.

After all, Xu Xiyue was the Vice President and head of the investment team at Panshi Venture Capital. Chen Mo had started this company for her.

Whether or not to invest in his project would likely be Xu Xiyue’s final decision.

Of course, he had to learn about her to be better prepared.

A team member had sent him information on Xu Xiyue, which even included her photo.
