Chapter 50: Calm and Peaceful

Yin Dong ignored her and strode into the corridor.

Jiang Yuan was held in his arms, but her heart was beating fast.

She lives on the fifth floor and there is no elevator.

Maybe because he had good physical strength, he carried her up the stairs without breathing heavily, but Jiang Yuan felt uncomfortable all over as if she had thorns all over her body.

She endured it for a long time, and finally asked aloud: "Can you put me down and explain what this is all about?"

He glanced down at her and asked, "Do you like walking barefoot so much?"

Jiang Yuan didn't believe he was so kind. Sure enough, the next second, she heard him say, "Don't think too much. I'm not used to owing favors to others."

The light in the corridor flickered, illuminating his angular face, which still looked gloomy.

But the surroundings were so quiet and the two were so close to each other that Jiang Yuan had the illusion that his voice didn't seem so cold anymore.

After a while, his voice came again from above: "If Liang Zhouheng asks you to leave again in the future, you don't have to listen to him."

Jiang Yuan thought to herself, no one forced her, she just wanted to go, okay?

Seeing that she didn't say anything, he looked down at her. Jiang Yuan raised her eyes and nodded reluctantly.

After climbing to the third floor, he was probably a little tired and complained, "Why didn't you ask if there was an elevator before renting the house?"

Jiang Yuan was stunned for a moment and replied, "For the same apartment on the top floor without an elevator, you can save a thousand yuan in rent per month. You don't know the suffering of the people."

He stopped, looked at her and asked, "Isn't the monthly salary the company gives you enough for you to rent a house with an elevator?"

Jiang Yuan was silent for a moment, then smiled faintly: "Boss Yin, will you give me a raise? Or would you consider solving the accommodation problem for the employees?"

His face turned cold again. "Yang Ming raised your salary to 50,000 yuan a month. You live in such a poor place. Where did you spend the money?"

Jiang Yuan still smiled: "Can't I just save it? I'm a very stingy person and I like to save money."

He looked down at her again and glanced at her body. She didn't have anything valuable on her body. The small bag in her hand was something she carried almost every time he saw her.

He remembered that the bowl of noodles he ordered last time was only 29 yuan.

She is quite stingy.

"What are you saving money for?" he asked her as he continued to climb the stairs.

Jiang Yuan lied without hesitation, "I'm going to save money and start my own business in the future. I'll be my own boss and never work like a slave for others again."

He snorted coldly, his tone tinged with sarcasm, "By then, I'll have nothing left but my underwear."

Jiang Yuan frowned and held her breath. "I know you started your own business from scratch and have made great achievements, but there's no need to look down on others, right?"

"So, this is what you call 'being a trendsetter'? You never seem so spineless when you're flattering and showing your loyalty at the dinner table."

He deliberately teased her about what she said at the party that day.

Jiang Yuan breathed out through his nostrils and simply closed his mouth without saying a word.

Finally reaching the fifth floor, he put Jiang Yuan on the ground, lowered his head to take out the key from his bag, and turned to go downstairs.

Jiang Yuan turned her head and glanced at his back, knowing that today was a rare opportunity. She just had to invite him into the house, and the rest would be a piece of cake.

But her throat seemed to be stuck, and she took a long time to squeeze out a simple sentence, "Wait a minute."

He had already gone down one step and turned back to look at her.

Jiang Yuan felt her tongue stiffen. She changed her words at the last minute and said, "Thank you for taking me back today."
