Chapter 43 The two of them did not live in the city last night...

Last night, they didn't stay in the large apartment in the city center; the villa here was a bit far from Hua Yichen's workplace. The driver drove steadily, and only halfway through the journey did Hua Yichen turn his focused gaze away from his phone.

Just a little late, and another deluge of messages. Why can't I finish work every day? Hua Yichen let his mind wander for a moment, his imagination running wild. Once he'd dealt with the original protagonist's top and bottom, he'd drop the heavy responsibility and resume his sleazy life as a second-generation master. If it weren't for the fact that the rescued person was so interesting, plus the mission bonus, he wouldn't have cared about that whole thing about returning to the original world, okay?

He's killed off all the fun people, and what's he going to do when he gets home bored? Oh, right, what about the mission target? Hua Yichen just remembered that he went to work with Ye Shubai today. Nothing could have happened! It's been so long since he's seen Ye Shubai stick around to talk to him, not even come over.

Hua Yichen stopped thinking about it and quickly turned around to check on Ye Shubai: "Are you feeling uncomfortable?"

It sounded like the young master's voice. Ye Shubai immediately turned off his phone screen and looked at Hua Yichen. Not knowing why Hua Yichen asked that, he replied with a hint of doubt: "You don't feel uncomfortable? Why do you ask that, young master?"

Hua Yichen had never been one to initiate conversation, especially when it came to Ye Shubai, who was always clinging to him. After Ye Shubai asked him this, it suddenly occurred to him that he seemed to be accustomed to having Ye Shubai around.

Hua Yichen, the conversation terminator, was unable to start a new topic and could only say dryly, "I just saw you were so quiet for such a long time, I thought you were upset."

When Hua Yichen said this, his gaze towards Ye Shubai was focused, and his slow speech revealed a level of importance far beyond Ye Shubai's wildest dreams. Despite this intense regard, even after living together for so long, Ye Shubai still noticed something different in those peach blossom eyes. While their naturally affectionate gaze revealed no flaws, their tense frame revealed a few clues.

Ye Shubai understood that Hua Yichen was not interested in him at the moment, even though he didn't know his purpose in saving him from being bullied in the bar.

"Is the young master bored?" None of the above is what Ye Shubai should be thinking about right now. He is more focused on the present. The most important task at the moment is to rescue a young master who has difficulty in starting a conversation.

"No way. I just saw that you haven't moved for a long time and I was worried about you." With a smiling face and teasing words, Hua Yichen felt that Ye Shubai seemed to see through him, but he still refused to admit it.

"Yes, yes, Master is not bored, but I am bored. Master, please chat with me!" Ye Shubai didn't want to completely discourage Hua Yichen's enthusiasm. This was a rare time when Hua Yichen took the initiative.

Ye Shubai's perfunctory tone, coupled with his expectant eyes, made Hua Yichen helpless and unable to say anything in rebuttal, so he could only smile and nod.

Seeing Hua Yichen smile, Ye Shubai softened and became less cold and serious than when he was working. He started to speak, "Master, are you done with your work? Any new news?"

"I've replied to all the messages on my phone, but I won't know about the work until I get to the company." Hua Yichen thought for a moment and answered Ye Shubai's first question carefully. As for the second question, he glanced at Ye Shubai and found that there was only pure curiosity on his face. "There's no special news, just more information about what happened last night."

"Then what did the young master get?" Although the matter between Le An and Gu Qi was not unspeakable, Ye Shubai still wanted to see what Hua Yichen's attitude was towards this matter.

"There are too many messages. Can you give me a reminder?" Ye Shubai's eyes were full of stars, and the desire to talk was bursting out in his eyes. Hua Yichen didn't want to dampen his interest, so he continued the conversation.

"Just... those two from last night." Thinking of last night's passionate and passionate moments, and the two unlucky guys, Ye Shubai didn't want to mention them at first, but since they involved two people, he had no choice but to mention them briefly. He was afraid that mentioning their names would bring bad luck, after all, nothing good would happen if he met either of them.

Hua Yichen instantly understood who they were. If he hadn't mentioned these two, he would have forgotten how to deal with them later.

It's not that he doesn't care, it's that it's not worth remembering. What happened last night was quite outrageous, and someone must have dealt with it long ago. Hua Yichen believes in his subordinates and will not let him down.

"I think I saw it?" Hua Yichen was not sure. In the contract news related to money, who would care about what happened to these two.

A news report flashed before his eyes. Hua Yichen followed it and opened his phone, and sure enough, he saw two familiar people.

But it seemed as if he didn't remember having subordinates, and acted so flamboyantly. The seeds of suspicion were planted, and Hua Yichen's slender fingertips quickly swiped across the screen. He scanned the screen, his eyes following the content, scanning up and down, and the result was the truth.

Really not, and no one reported this to him.

Therefore, Hua Yichen thought of the questions Ye Shubai asked indirectly, and looked at Ye Shubai who was sitting obediently on the leather seat next to him with suspicion.

There were only four of them at the time, and the other two couldn't possibly expose themselves unless they were crazy. So that leaves Ye Shubai. Could the impoverished orphan in the original story really have such powerful power?

It was daytime, not night. Hua Yichen didn't believe that Gu Qi couldn't see it. If he couldn't see it, could the Gu family not see it? This wasn't a good thing. Instead of trying to suppress it, it became known to the whole city. Hua Yichen didn't think the Gu family had fallen so far that they couldn't remove the trending search results.

Driver: "Mr. Hua, we've arrived at the company."

“Ding-ling-ling——”

Ye Shubai: "Young Master?"

Hua Yichen's inquiring gaze had not lasted more than three seconds when three voices rang out simultaneously.

【Caller ID: Hua Jianming】

The green phone logo on the phone was jumping wildly on the screen.

When Hua Yichen saw the caller, he suddenly thought about hanging up without hesitation and swiped to answer the call.

"Have you seen the message?" Hua Jianming's voice, calm but with a hint of breathlessness, came from the receiver. The electric sound amplified the slight uneasiness in his voice.

Hua Yichen probably guessed what it was, but he didn't want to reply: "What news?"

Hua Jianming: "News about the banquet held by the Le family kid."

Hua Yichen: "Oh, you want to talk about him, I know!"

Hua Jianming: "What happened at the party last night? Why did that happen online? Are you okay?"

Hua Yichen: "How should I know? Besides, what does Le An's matter have to do with me?"

The calmness of the voice on the other end of the phone disappeared, and it turned into anger: "You were at that party last night, too. Can't your father ask how you are doing?"

"Of course, I'm fine, okay?" What's wrong with the old man? Hua Yichen shook his head and hung up the phone. He didn't want to continue with such meaningless words.

Hua Yichen got out of the car and remembered that Ye Shubai seemed to have something to say to him: "You called me just now, what's the matter?"

“No…no…”

Seeing that he was a bit timid, Hua Yichen took Ye Shubai's hand with his big hand, took the CEO's special elevator and went straight to the CEO's office. He did not forget to discuss his next arrangements with Ye Shubai: "Then I will go to work later, and you will stay in the lounge and rest."

"Can I accompany you, Master?" Ye Shubai asked with a hint of worry in his tone. "I'll be very good and just sit there and watch you."

Hua Yichen followed the direction of Ye Shubai's finger and went to the sofa near the floor-to-ceiling window not far from the office.

The sunlight shines through the glass and onto the sofa, making this place seem unusually warm.

Hua Yichen stared at the sofa, and the image of Ye Shubai sitting or lying on it appeared in his mind. It seemed that it was not impossible.

Hua Yichen stared at him for a long time. Ye Shubai was worried that he would not agree. "I swear, I will not cause any trouble for the young master. Please let me stay here!"

After saying the following words, Ye Shubai shook Hua Yichen's hand unconsciously. How could Hua Yichen not agree with such a coquettish tone?

"Okay, you can stay there, but don't move things around and cause trouble."

"I promise to be a good boy. Thank you, young master." After getting the answer he wanted, Ye Shubai let go of Hua Yichen's arm, made a salute gesture, and ran to the sofa.

Then he jumped up and completely collapsed into the sofa.

Seeing how lively he was, Hua Yichen was about to remind him not to do strenuous exercise, but when he saw that Ye Shubai didn't do anything out of the ordinary, he stopped thinking.

It seems like a bit too much attention, but it doesn’t feel that way.

I don’t know if it’s because of the extra person, but Hua Yichen found that his work efficiency seemed to have improved.

After finishing the morning's work, the burning gaze that often came from the sofa disappeared. When Hua Yichen was free again, he saw Ye Shubai sitting lazily on the sofa, holding his mobile phone and tapping it with his index finger from time to time, muttering to himself, with a focused look on what he was doing.

"What are you doing?" Hua Yichen said quietly, his voice ringing in Ye Shubai's ears.

"?" Ye Shubai was frightened for a moment before he came to his senses and looked for someone.

"Master, have you finished your work?" Ye Shubai said in an extremely excited tone.

Hua Yichen felt a weight on his neck. Ye Shubai was happy and held Hua Yichen's neck with both hands.

Hua Yichen took advantage of the situation and hugged the person: "You are so happy to see me, what attracted you just now?"

"No!" Ye Shubai's face slowly turned red, and he did not forget to turn off the screen of his mobile phone.

Hua Yichen didn't expose her, but silently watched the Candy Crush game interface on his phone turn black. "Are you hungry? Do you want to eat?"

"I'm fine, not very hungry." Ye Shubai wanted to be reserved, but the protest from his stomach made it impossible for him to continue. He shyly buried himself in Hua Yichen's arms, but the tips of his ears, which were red as blood, exposed his embarrassment.

"I don't know what you want to eat, so I asked the secretary to order something." Hua Yichen put Ye Shubai on the chair next to the coffee table in the lounge.

Ye Shubai was still in the embarrassment from just now. He obediently took the chopsticks handed to him by Hua Yichen and started eating.

Hua Yichen didn't have much of an appetite, but Ye Shubai, on the other hand, seemed to have no dietary restrictions and didn't miss a single dish. He devoured every dish with gusto, as if it were nectar from heaven.

The squirrel-like bulging cheeks moved adorably. Under Ye Shubai's influence, Hua Yichen's appetite improved significantly compared to before.

After tea and dinner, when the midday sun is at its strongest, stay in the air-conditioned room and draw the blackout curtains.

It's a good time to take a nap after feeling dizzy.
