Chapter 2089 - 684: About the Same Age_4
The year she met him, she was already 29 years old, while he was just 19.
She was even wearing a wedding ring, symbolizing another life.
Throughout their interactions.
She never dared to imagine standing beside him in that way.
She was an extremely intelligent woman, also adept at self-reflection.
She knew that perhaps all these years, she had always admired him.
But this emotion was suppressed by her strong inner rationality and the shackles of her "elder" status.
But this meeting, Tang Song’s change, especially his change in attitude towards her.
Made the lake in her heart, long calm and waveless, begin to ripple with waves.
So she started to find excuses for herself.
But always felt that if they really reached that step.
There would be an indescribable, immoral shame in her heart.
Looking at the familiar yet slightly unfamiliar figure in the painting.
She couldn’t help but mutter to herself:
"How do you really see me?"
"If I really take the initiative... would you think that I am shameless?"
...
At that moment.
"Knock knock knock—"
A gentle knock on the door sounded.
Ouyang Xianyue immediately gathered all her emotions, restoring her calm and graceful demeanor, "Come in."
Next, Secretary Chen Jing tiptoed in, holding a dark blue folder.
She respectfully bowed and said softly, "Miss Ouyang, the matter Mr. Tang instructed has been handled."
"Hmm."
Then Chen Jing handed over the folder and continued, "Additionally, here is all the background information about Miss Xie Shuyu and Glimmer Coffee."
Ouyang Xianyue took the folder and opened it casually.
The first page showed an ID photo catching her eye.
The woman in the photo had delicate features, a dignified demeanor, and a professional smile at the corner of her mouth.
Indeed, a mature and beautiful woman.
Looking at the photo of Xie Shuyu, Ouyang Xianyue subconsciously used her fingertip to gently stroke her own smooth cheek.
Her skin and physical condition had always been well-maintained.
She was confident that her looks and temperament were not inferior, and perhaps even a step superior.
However, this Xie Shuyu is indeed thin, completely different in style from her own slightly fuller figure.
She wondered which type Tang Song... would prefer?
Then she realized her lapse in thought and quickly regathered her mind to continue reviewing the documents.
More than ten minutes later.
She casually closed the folder, saying indifferently, "How are the arrangements on Lin Muxue’s side?"
Secretary Chen quickly replied, "I’ve already coordinated with the real estate agent in Shanghai for that apartment, and the final property transfer procedures will be done next week."
"Follow up on this personally, and don’t let anything go wrong."
"Understood!"
Ouyang Xianyue nodded, picking up the brush again to begin inscribing verses on the painting.
Meanwhile, Secretary Chen continued to report on the latest developments regarding Xuanji Light Realm.
The apartment at the IFC Mall in Lujiazui was, to her, just an insignificant piece of her vast assets, a slight kindness for someone.
Her real purpose was nothing more than to win over Tang Song’s personal assistant.
She had long since investigated Lin Muxue’s background.
In fact, it was clear as day when Zhao Yaqian signed on as a beneficiary of Gathering Emotion Gold.
Though there were some flaws, overall she was a "safe" person.
For Ouyang Xianyue, whether Lin Muxue was flashy and money-grubbing or vain, these were immaterial.
As long as she was loyal to Tang Song, she was a "good person."
A person who could be united.
By showing her kindness and introducing her to local connections, she aimed to form a deeper interest bond with her.
...
"...Miss Wen Ruan has completed the internal consolidation of Xingyun International Group. Next month, she will officially take over as the group’s Chairman and participate in Xuanji Light Realm’s work, having more interactions with Miss Liu Qingning. Additionally, she has been traveling recently and is accompanied by Zhang Yan besides her assistant. It seems there is an intention to involve her."
"Oh?" Ouyang Xianyue’s brush paused for a moment, and after contemplating, she said, "Wen Ruan will be frequently traveling between Shen City and Yan City in the near future. Staying in hotels is neither convenient nor safe.
Note this down, apply for a property for Wen Ruan at the Tang Jin Family Office, directly under her name.
Also, provide her with a dedicated car and driver in Shen City.
After all, she is Tang Song’s woman and has already entered the decision-making committee of the family office. Such treatment is what she deserves.
I believe Chairman Jin would have no objections either."
"Alright! Understood!"
Secretary Chen nodded immediately, then turned and quietly left the study.
Once her figure disappeared completely.
Ouyang Xianyue put down the brush and picked up the dossier on Xie Shuyu again.
This time, her gaze did not linger on the business resume.
Instead, it slowly fell on the "date of birth" column.
years old, soon to be 33.
Her eyes flickered slightly, almost imperceptibly.
years old... in nominal age 34... after the new year, the real age would be 35...
This age is nearly the same as her own.
