Chapter 12 Chapter 12 It’s been a long time since I saw Mr. Fu smile so happily...

Fu Zhiyao withdrew his gaze and was about to take a sip of tea when he caught sight of Yu Wan's clothes. He immediately frowned and gave an order: "Go change into your own clothes."

I've seen Yu Wan wearing a white shirt for a long time, and this is the first time I see her in a dress. I just don't feel used to it.

Yu Wan thought Fu Zhiyao was worried about missing the deadline to return the dress, so she nodded, picked up the hem of her dress and returned to the dressing room. She carefully took off the dress and returned it after making sure it was not damaged.

Yu Wan didn't need to participate in the remaining work. Since Guan Yanxuan and Wei Xian were there, Fu Zhiyao chatted with them for a few words. After Yu Wan changed her clothes, he left with her.

The sky was slowly getting dark, the street lights were on, and the Xingyue Hotel in the night had a unique beauty like ancient European architecture.

As usual, she was sent back to school first. Yu Wan expressed her gratitude to Mr. Fu as usual, but Mr. Fu remained indifferent and silent.

They walked in silence all the way. When they were almost at school, they passed by the noodle shop that Yu Wan often ate at. Yu Wan's rumbling stomach made her almost forget that the person sitting next to her was the boss, so she hurriedly stopped him.

Facing the boss's murderous look after half of his body flew out due to the sudden stop, Yu Wan was unsure and explained in a low voice: "Boss, I haven't had dinner yet..."

Half a minute later, Yu Wan got off the car.

Behind her, Fu Zhiyao walked out of the car from the other side gracefully and calmly with his long legs, and walked to the noodle shop with her.

There are sturdy crabapple flowers planted in the roadside green belts, clustered on the branches, with tender pink petals. When the evening breeze blows, it is like a flower rain. Some petals fall on the hair, and some petals roll to the roadside and pile up, forming a pink wave.

The scene is really romantic.

Yu Wan took out her phone to take a photo, but as soon as she entered the two passwords, the phone froze and no matter how she swiped the screen, it wouldn't move.

Two minutes later, Yu Wan retracted her gritted teeth and chose to give up.

She put her cell phone in her pocket, looked at her boss, and silently calculated the possibility of being beaten to death for borrowing money from Fu Zhiyao.

The look was so obvious that Fu Zhiyao tutted his words and said irritably, "Speak."

The disadvantage of not being able to hear people's true thoughts is that he wanted to know what Yu Wan was thinking and he had to ask.

Yu Wan pursed her lips and said cautiously, "Boss, my phone is out of battery."

Fu Zhiyao: “…”

He knew too little about Yu Wan, and he didn't realize that Yu Wan was capable of lying with open eyes. He clearly saw that Yu Wan's phone screen was on just now.

The two walked into the noodle shop, and Fu Zhiyao took a casual look around. The tables were made of logs, and most of the kitchen utensils were stainless steel, which were polished to a shine and looked quite clean.

"Two bowls of beef noodles."

"Okay, 40 yuan."

Yu Wan added, "Boss, don't put cilantro and green onions in one of the bowls."

The noodle shop owner said: "Okay, please take a seat first, and the noodles will be here soon."

It was peak dining time, and Yu Wan could only find two single tables facing the wall. She gave the seat on the wall where she didn't have to sit next to strangers to the boss. Yu Wan took out a tissue from her bag and carefully wiped the boss's high chair and tabletop.

"Boss, please take a seat."

Fu Zhiyao felt no guilt and sat frankly on the chair that Yu Wan had wiped clean. When the boss brought the beef noodles, Yu Wan took apart the disposable wooden chopsticks, rubbed them against each other to remove the tiny splinters on them, and handed them to Fu Zhiyao.

"Boss, you use these chopsticks."

Fu Zhiyao took it, and Yu Wan opened the other pair and repeated the action.

Seeing Fu Zhiyao looking at her, she took the initiative to speak: "Boss, disposable wooden chopsticks are not polished properly and are prone to splinters. They may hurt your mouth when you eat. Rubbing them will be much better."

"Um."

Yu Wan placed the tissue on the table and said, "Boss, take it yourself."

"Um."

She didn’t know if it was Yu Wan’s illusion, but she felt that Fu Zhiyao was in a good mood at the moment.

Yu Wan said, "Boss, I'll transfer the money for the beef noodles to you when I get back."

Fu Zhiyao frowned: "Do I look like someone who is short of money for a bowl of beef noodles?"

Yu Wan: "Not really."

The boss doesn't need it, but she does. She usually only eats six-dollar vegetarian noodles. Unless she gets a scholarship, a bowl of 20-dollar beef noodles is no less than wiping her butt with toilet paper made of gold. That's quite a luxury, okay?

Thinking of Director Dong and Special Assistant Lin's emphasis on not lying, Yu Wan explained, "Actually, Boss, my phone isn't out of battery. My screen is stuck and I can't turn it on. I wanted to treat you to noodles, but I was afraid it would be awkward if I couldn't pay with my phone."

As he spoke, Yu Wan took out his mobile phone from his pocket to show it to Fu Zhiyao. Unfortunately, the phone recovered at this moment. Yu Wan swiped it twice casually and the screen started moving.

Yu Wan: “…”

The air is silent.

"boss……"

"Don't explain, just eat."

"oh."

Yu Wan shut up.

The beef noodles in this noodle shop are different from those in other noodle shops. They are not ordinary thin slices of beef, but large chunks of braised beef stewed until soft and tender. The beef shanks are carefully selected, and you can see the soft and glutinous tendons in the beef chunks. The sauce is rich and fragrant, and the soup base is bone soup cooked freshly every day. Before you even eat it, a rich aroma wafts out, rushing into your nose.

Fu Zhiyao had been hungry all afternoon, so he couldn't restrain himself and started eating with big mouthfuls.

Half an hour after they finished eating, Yu Wan and Fu Zhiyao walked out of the noodle shop, and a large number of students walked in.

The two of them strolled along the sidewalk, and the pink crabapple blossoms fell again. This time, Yu Wan was finally able to take pictures. She took a few secretly and thanked Fu Zhiyao.

"Boss, thank you for treating me to beef noodles today. I'll treat you next time."

Fu Zhiyao put his hands in his pockets: "Do you think I'm like you? My time is very precious."

Yu Wan: “…”

She understands that millions of dollars can be spent in just a few minutes.

Maybe it was because people's minds became lazy and leisurely after eating, or maybe it was because the evening breeze was gentle and cool, or maybe it was because they didn't need to think about work at the moment, so both of them were more relaxed than usual.

Fu Zhiyao asked her, "Are you cursing me in your heart?"

Yu Wan: “…”

Yu Wan remembered that Fu Zhiyao had asked the same question last time, but why, why did Fu Zhiyao always feel that she would scold him.

Yu Wan shook her head, "I don't dare."

Fu Zhiyao was choked by her sincere tone. Even his sharp tongue, honed in the business world, seemed powerless at this moment. After a long while, he managed to utter, "You're quite honest."

Yu Wan also felt: "...Thank you for the compliment, boss."

"You don't understand what's good and bad, right? Have you eaten too much beef noodles?"

Yu Wan hadn't expected the boss to joke, so she burst out laughing. Her voice was light and lively, like a little bird announcing good news in spring.

Fu Zhiyao turned his head to look at her and felt that Yu Wan's smile was inexplicable, but strangely, he didn't feel annoyed.

Under the street light, the secretary's made-up face was particularly pretty and delicate. The lipstick on her lips had almost fallen off after eating beef noodles, but her rosy color remained unchanged. When she curled the corners of her lips, there were small brackets on both sides of her cheeks, which were more eye-catching than the crabapple flowers falling in the wind.

Fu Zhiyao looked away feeling a little uncomfortable.

As they got closer to the school, Yu Wan hesitated for a while before saying weakly, "...Boss, you don't have to take me back to school."

She felt very embarrassed.

Fu Zhiyao almost laughed out of anger: "Which eye of yours saw that I wanted to take you back to school? Lao Wu's car is parked there."

Yu Wan was embarrassed: "Oh."

She really lost all her face today.

"Well, boss, I'm going back to school now. Thank you for seeing me off. I'll send you the results of today's celebration acceptance report before nine o'clock tomorrow morning. I wish you a happy weekend and see you next Monday!"

As he spoke, Yu Wan waved to Fu Zhiyao and ran towards the school gate at a quick pace.

Fu Zhiyao curled his lips and got into the car. Not long after the door closed, he heard Lao Wu's inner voice.

-[It's been a while since I've seen Mr. Fu smile so happily. It seems to be because of that little girl Yu Wan. But Yu Wan is indeed a lovely little girl. It's not surprising that Mr. Fu likes her.]

Fu Zhiyao: “…”

Who said he liked her?

Is it surprising that you were amused by an idiot?
