Chapter 40

Absence makes the heart grow fonder. After not seeing each other for a few days, Qin Su deliberately flirted with Ye Yan, who couldn't resist and they ended up making love until midnight.

The next day, Qin Su was so sleepy he could barely keep his eyes open, but he seemed refreshed and invigorated, having shaken off the gloom of the previous days.

Ding Bo was a little puzzled when he worked with Ye Yan that morning, but Ye Yan said casually, "By the way, Su Su is here. I'm having lunch with her."

Ding Bo: "..."

No wonder President Ye suddenly looked so happy, his expression full of satisfaction.

Ye Yan: "He came in the middle of the night yesterday, saying he missed me. It was so sudden."

Ding Bo: "..."

So, is he the only single guy sleeping soundly in the middle of the night, without a care in the world?

Ye Yan: "She even said she was going to give me a surprise, what a joke."

Ding Bo: "..."

Yesterday, when you asked me to urgently contact people in China to set off fireworks in the city center, that's not what you said.

But Ding Bo only dared to grumble inwardly, while he had to force a smile and say, "Madam is probably reluctant to part with you. You two have such a good relationship."

Ye Yan curled his lips and said smugly, "She's just too clingy, and it sometimes bothers me."

"..."

Alright, alright, I know you two are a perfect match and deeply in love.

Ding Bo wore a mask of anguish, wishing he could take out a mirror and show Ye Yan his reflection, so he could see the smugness on Ye Yan's face and not a trace of distress in him.

Being an assistant to the CEO these days is really tough. Not only do you have to work, but you also have to deal with the "dog food" (a Chinese slang term for public displays of affection) that your boss throws at you.

Ding Bo sadly pulled out his phone and checked his bank account balance to try and calm his hurt feelings.

President Ye, who kept complaining about being clingy, took off his coat as soon as he got back to the bedroom and quietly got into bed to hug Qin Su.

Qin Su had been awake for a while, but her body was sore and she didn't want to move, so she closed her eyes and pushed him away, saying, "Go away."

Her strength was weak, and as she raised her hand, her pajamas slipped slightly, revealing a bit of her fair shoulder.

Ye Yan shamelessly pretended not to hear and kissed her hand.

"Get up and eat something, then go back to sleep this afternoon."

Qin Su said listlessly, "No."

Ye Yan coaxed her, "There's a nice hot spring nearby. How about I come back early this afternoon and go soak in it with you?"

Qin Su opened her eyes and glared at him, coldly scoffing, "Who needs you to accompany me?"

Ye Yan, with a good attitude, readily changed his tune: "I need you to come with me, will you come with me?"

Qin Su then nodded in condescension.

After saying a few words, her slight morning grumpiness dissipated.

Taking the opportunity, Ye Yan asked again, "Shall we eat something first?"

This time, Qin Su didn't refuse. She lazily opened her arms, like a cat that had finally been coaxed into being happy and was willing to take the initiative to get close to people.

Ye Yan was flattered and immediately picked her up in his arms.

Qin Su nestled in his arms and finished her lunch before lying back down on the bed.

She casually fiddled with Ye Yan's sleeve and said nonchalantly, "I had a dream last night."

Ye Yan hummed in agreement: "What dream?"

Qin Su said, "I dreamed that our world is fake, and everything we are experiencing now is fake."

Ye Yan was taken aback, feeling surprised.

This somewhat pessimistic view is really not like Qin Su's personality.

But Qin Su seemed quite serious, raising her eyelashes to look at him: "Ye Yan, what would you do if you found out that everything was fake?"

Ye Yan pondered for a moment, then asked in return, "Are you serious?"

Qin Su paused for a moment and then said, "Of course I'm telling the truth."

"That's enough." Ye Yan gently squeezed her fingers and whispered, "As long as you're real, that's all that matters."

In Ye Yan's view, this was just a joke, all hypothetical scenarios.

So he also asked Qin Su, "And what about you?"

Qin Su lowered her eyes again and buried her face in his chest.

Ye Yan couldn't see her expression, but he heard her say calmly, "If it's me... then treat it as a dream. A big dream will eventually end, so forget about it."
