Standing Next To You-Chapter 321: I want to spend more time with my boyfriend

Zhong Cheng had many questions, but he couldn’t voice them right now. When Boss was alone, he would ask her for some details. His future happiness relied on this.

His Boss was on cloud nine right now because she was in a relationship—her dream goal. So she might not see the holes that might cause a rift on their relationship in the future.

There were some things that needed to be addressed.

However, it was difficult for Zhong Cheng to find a chance because the two never separated!

Zhong Cheng could only wait until one of them went to the restroom.

Finally, during the last class, Bei Sangyun went out. Zhong Cheng also excused himself and followed her.

He waited in front of the women’s restroom. Fortunately, no students were in sight. If they saw him, they might assume he was a pervert.

"Boss!"

Bei Sangyun was called as soon as she walked out. She looked at Zhong Cheng, who stood in front of the women’s restroom like a pervert.

"Why are you waiting here?"

"I couldn’t wait another day, so I followed you. Anyway, Boss, who confessed first?"

Bei Sangyun flipped her hair and smirked. "Him."

Zhong Cheng’s eyes widened. "...Are you sure it’s a confession? You didn’t threaten him?"

Bei Sangyun: "...."

Zhong Cheng coughed. "I am just kidding, Boss, haha. It’s obvious Brother-in-law has feelings for you too." It was just that Zhong Cheng did not expect Fei Chuan to make the first move.

’It’s all good. All good.’

Since it was Brother-in-law who confessed first, then things would go smoothly. If Bei Sangyun had confessed first and forced the relationship, it surely wouldn’t end well.

Zhong Cheng’s heart relaxed. When he heard that they wanted to keep it a secret, he had bad premonitions. Keeping a relationship a secret was a bad start. But they might have their reasons.

At least what he feared might not happen. Boss wouldn’t suffer a heartbreak from a breakup—

"But he said we are only dating for a month," Bei Sangyun added. "This is a bet for him. But I want to make it real."

Zhong Cheng: !!!

...

The class bell rang, signaling the end of the class.

The silent hallway was suddenly filled with noise.

Bei Sangyun looked around. "I need to return to the classroom."

"Wait, Boss," Zhong Cheng, who had been silent, stopped Bei Sangyun.

He had heard the whole matter from Bei Sangyun and could get the gist of it. Given their current situation, there was a possibility of a breakup. If there was a breakup, his Boss would fall into heartbreak!

If the Boss was heartbroken, his underlings would be heartbroken as well!

"Boss, you don’t want it to just last for a month, right?"

"Of course not. I want to marry him and spend the rest of my life with him," Bei Sangyun answered without hesitation.

"Understood." Zhong Cheng patted his chest. "I will make it come true, Boss."

Bei Sangyun stared at his solemn face and chuckled. "You say it as if you can really make it happen."

"I’m friends with the author."

"What?"

Zhong Cheng swore, "Before the end of the month, I will come up with a method to make him totally yours!"

Bei Sangyun nodded. Zhong Cheng was reliable. She already had plans in mind, but it wouldn’t hurt to have Zhong Cheng help her. "Then I promise to give you a huge bonus. I will take care of your future career."

Zhong Cheng’s eyes blazed.

"Leave it to me, Boss!"

****

Zhong Cheng was quick, and the next day, he handed a folder to Bei Sangyun.

There was no need for words. He just made a salute, and Bei Sangyun understood.

Bei Sangyun kept the folder carefully under her desk.

"What’s that?" Fei Chuan eyed the folder. Looking at Bei Sangyun and Zhong Cheng’s interactions, there was no doubt that they had a secret deal behind his back.

"Oh, just something." Bei Sangyun changed the subject. "By the way, are you free later?"

Fei Chuan glanced at her desk and finally let it go. "Today... is not good either."

Bei Sangyun pouted.

Yesterday, she wanted to commute and have a little date with Fei Chuan.

She wanted to walk together, feed each other at stalls, visit some popular dating spots for high schoolers, and hold hands in the back of the bus.

It was their first day of school as a couple. She wanted to end the day like a couple.

But it was ruined when Fei Chuan’s driver showed up.

Fei Chuan had an important meeting, and he had to represent his client. Since it was important for Fei Chuan, Bei Sangyun, although disappointed, let him go.

She wanted to be an understanding girlfriend, so she waited until the next day.

Today, she planned to go home together like couples do.

But...

"You have a job today as well? Then, you can’t go home with me?" Bei Sangyun asked, although she knew the answer inside.

Fei Chuan hesitated.

Because he did a good job last time, his client saw a lot of potential in him and gave him many important tasks. Accompanying these tasks were new connections and information that Fei Chuan needed to strengthen his influence. This was what he had been waiting for ever since he contacted this VIP client.

And yesterday, the tasks had begun. And this might take a while.

It was rational to prioritize this since it was the opportunity he had been waiting for. However, he couldn’t leave her alone today. She was so disappointed yesterday when he left...

Fei Chuan thought deeply. "...I can take you home."

Bei Sangyun’s eyes turned bright. But then she calmed down. "You said yesterday it was an important meeting. You can’t be late. We can’t have you leave a bad impression from the start."

"It’s okay. They are the ones who need me. If they fire me because of that, then it is their loss."

Bei Sangyun’s heart warmed. It wasn’t just her who was making an effort in this one-month relationship.

She smiled. "Let’s do it this way. I’ll accompany you to the meeting place. I’m sure there’s a coffee shop nearby. I’ll wait for you there until the meeting ends. Then we will go home together. How’s that?"

"The meeting might take a long time. It’s better for you to rest."

"Have you forgotten? I’m also managing a business on my own. I’ll work there while waiting for you."

Fei Chuan stared at her. Bei Sangyun stared back at him.

She then glanced around. Seeing that no one was looking their way, she leaned closer to Fei Chuan and whispered.

"I just want to stay longer with my boyfriend. Can I do that?"

Her warm breath and sweet words hit Fei Chuan’s heart. His ears flushed. He inched away. "...I got it. Just go back to your seat."

Bei Sangyun did not listen and caught his hand under the desk instead. She was still close to his ear. "It’s okay. No one is looking."

She then clasped their hands together.

Fei Chuan’s palm sweated. His loud beating heart did not help either. Bei Sangyun was so close that he could smell the familiar lavender scent on her.

This evoked some memories...

Fei Chuan opened his laptop with his free hand and pretended to be busy, while trying to calm his panicked heart.
