Chapter 49 Chapter 49 Three Men and a Show
In the enclosed office, the lights are on even during the day.
When Su Yuan was a little afraid to look Clay in the eye, he could just see the inorganic halo cast by the cold incandescent light on his lenses.
His mind uncontrollably recalled the unkind look of Clay that he had seen before he came in. The beads of sweat on Su Yuan's forehead slowly slid to the ends of his hair.
His hands on the side of the chair pressed tighter uncontrollably.
Su Yuan wanted to continue thinking, but with Clay staring at him, he inexplicably didn't dare to think any further.
However, with his mind in a mess, Su Yuan couldn't help but realize a fact: it would be difficult for him to escape successfully this time.
Su Yuan almost wanted to give up on himself.
Wuuuu, he just wanted to solve all his problems and hoped that his human body could be healthy as soon as possible. Why was it becoming increasingly difficult for him to escape death?
The brain that had just worked a lot in a short period of time became a little useless. However, Su Yuan had to answer Clay's repeated questions under Clay's nose.
The purpose of his previous visit definitely could not be told, and now Su Yuan didn't dare to mention Lu Zhu in front of Clay.
"I came to see you...actually there's nothing." At this moment, Su Yuan's mind was empty and he could only respond awkwardly.
His answer obviously surprised Clay.
The young but promising man pushed up his glasses on his high nose.
Su Yuan didn't understand what kind of emotion Clay's subtle action represented, but he was scared to death by Clay's stare.
He was afraid that Clay would notice his abnormal expression, so after fluttering his eyelashes unnaturally, he pretended to be displeased and frowned bluntly, and directly said to divert the other party's attention, "You should have noticed it too."
When Su Yuan said this, in order not to show his guilty conscience, he tried hard to make his expression more vivid.
Clay was stunned, staring at the tense boy in front of him. After lowering his beautiful black eyelashes, he avoided his gaze and whispered, "I just wanted to see you."
Did Su Yuan just come to see him?
This sentence was undoubtedly a love word to Clay. Clay reacted for several seconds, which was rare. As if he was afraid that he had misunderstood something, he confirmed the meaning of this sentence several times in succession.
His chest immediately rose and fell, and his heart beat faster.
The inexplicable suffocation that he had just felt because of Yan Zhou and the others disappeared, and Clay's eyes were almost glued to Su Yuan's shy expression at the moment, as if something had been revealed.
The mask Su Yuan was wearing blocked most of his expression. In the little bit of his face that was revealed, his delicate brows were tightly furrowed, as if his breathing was particularly disordered at the moment. Heat was trapped under the mask, and the skin at the edge of the mask was flushed a beautiful and eye-catching red, as if his snow-white cheeks were covered with powder.
Su Yuan has a soft personality and his outward expressions are always soft. This is the first time that Clay has seen Su Yuan express such a straightforward and strong expression.
Clay didn't know what he felt. He felt the liveliness that Su Yuan showed for him. In a trance, he seemed to hear the sound of a taut string representing reason being suddenly stretched and broken.
Clay heard the syllables coming out of his dry throat.
Before Clay even knew what he was about to say subconsciously, the person in front of him had already interrupted him in a bad mood.
Su Yuan frowned even more, his tone was bad and a bit shy and flustered, "Why are you looking at me like this? It seems like you don't really want to see me."
Clay immediately panicked, and when he hurriedly spoke again this time, he finally realized what he was about to say.
How could he not want to see her? He just thought that Su Yuan's shy look when she said "I want to see him" was so beautiful that he was a little stunned.
But Su Yuan still ignored him and didn't give him this chance at all.
"Then I'm leaving." After Su Yuan said this unhappily, he disappeared from the spot and returned to the card master's sea of consciousness.
Clay stood up immediately and tried to pull Su Yuan, but when he saw that the chair in front of him was completely empty, he somehow thought of a romance drama he had watched before.
The spoiled girlfriend in love finally made up her mind to be more proactive. She suppressed all her pride and shame and mustered up the courage to meet her boyfriend. However, she found that her boyfriend had an indifferent reaction, so she turned around and left in a bad mood.
My heartbeat started to become unbalanced again for unknown reasons.
Clay was a little annoyed. What was that reaction just now? How could Su Yuan misunderstand him when he was clearly not cold at all?
At the same time, my heart felt like it was being scratched by a kitten's claws, and every cell in my body was itchy beyond belief.
Clay remained standing with his hand outstretched until he came back to his senses when he heard a knock on the door again.
It was as if his head had been hit with a hammer and he was stunned. Even though he knew it was impossible, Clay couldn't help but look forward to it in his heart the moment he cast his eyes in that direction.
Did Su Yuan come to see him again?
As soon as the baby-faced young man outside raised his head, he was met with Clay's extremely disappointed and cold eyes.
He instantly broke out in a cold sweat and turned pale with fear.
His recent job hasn't been terrible... has it?
The young man suddenly felt very uneasy.
He thought anxiously, could it be that he sent so many messages about "Princess" in the group yesterday that Clay couldn't stand it?
*
As soon as Su Yuan returned to Chu An's sea of consciousness, he came out again immediately.
Before he had time to observe the environment Chu An was currently in, the first thing that entered Su Yuan's ears was the sound made by the people around him turning their heads to look at him.
What caught Su Yuan's eyes was the familiar conference room, and everyone in the conference room turned their eyes to him because of his sudden appearance.
Seeing that everyone in front of him looked serious and was doing important things, Su Yuan quickly placed his hand on Chu An's wrist bone and used his illusory ability.
Seeing him disappear, the others naturally turned their gazes away.
Just as Su Yuan was about to breathe a sigh of relief, he saw several people stand up immediately.
Three people closed all the windows quickly and swiftly, and one person turned on the air conditioner without forgetting to cancel its ventilation function.
This series of actions to stop the ventilation received nods of appreciation from the others.
Their behavior was really natural, and everyone's expression was normal, but when Su Yuan looked at their businesslike manner, he inexplicably thought of the chat content he had just seen on Clay's computer.
——Minister Chu An’s cards are really sweet and fragrant. If you find him next to Minister Chu An, you must seize the opportunity to feel it. I swear, that is the dreamy smell that belongs only to a princess!
Su Yuan curled her fingertips slightly and watched as the others began to move their seats towards Chu An quietly.
Su Yuan quickly stopped himself from thinking too much, but his cheeks began to feel hot again.
Chu An obviously didn't notice these little actions of others. His mind was focused on Su Yuan as soon as Su Yuan appeared.
Although they were in a solemn meeting room and the surroundings were extremely quiet, Chu An didn't care about the situation at all and asked directly, "Didn't you say you wanted to sleep for a while?"
Su Yuan almost stepped on Chu An's heels as he left the office. He only stayed in Clay's office for a short while, and it wasn't long since Chu An left the office.
The current situation is inconsistent with Su Yuan’s initial statement.
Su Yuan, whose plans could not keep up with the changes, shrugged his nose and said casually in a low voice, "Yeah, but after you left, I couldn't sleep."
While Su Yuan was telling lies, he didn't realize that his face had turned pink because of what he was thinking about in the conversation.
The bit of his exposed skin, coupled with his words, directly added some different fantasies to the content of the conversation, which made Chu An's heartstrings twisted into a love heart.
Chu An was watching his eyelashes slowly curling up, and was almost dying of sweetness.
Just, can't you leave him like this?
Chu An couldn't help but smile, but Su Yuan didn't notice it. His attention was directly attracted by the two figures who walked in.
The people who walked in were all tall and slender with striking looks, and they were—
Yan Zhou and Pei Yuanfei.
Yan Zhou still had that gentle look, but that was only the impression given at first glance. If you took another look, you would find that Yan Zhou's gentleness did not reach his eyes. His dark eyes were covered with a layer of haze, and when you looked into his eyes, you would have a depressing feeling of a continuous rainy day.
Pei Yuanfei had sharp features, a cold expression, and an aura that kept strangers away. Strictly speaking, this was the first time Su Yuan saw Pei Yuanfei's appearance clearly.
Although Pei Yuanfei and Clay both give people a cold impression, there is still a big difference between the two. Clay's coldness is more of a businesslike and impersonal coldness, while Pei Yuanfei is a bit arrogant and conceited, and his condescending attitude is filled with disdainful coldness.
The difference between them became even stronger when Pei Yuanfei's expression showed the contradiction and decadence that could not be concealed.
but--
The relationship between Yan Zhou and Pei Yuanfei is really good, which is visibly good.
Su Yuan then realized that he had just barged into the special meeting that Clay had just talked about.
He put his legs together and immediately felt uncomfortable.
Su Yuan didn't want to face this embarrassing scene, but just like what happened in that person's office before, Su Yuan didn't dare to make the noise of returning to his sea of consciousness in front of Yan Zhou.
After Yan Zhou and Pei Yuanfei sat down on the other side, someone gave a general summary of the current online public opinion.
The person who was in charge of the speech was Su Yuan's acquaintance, the poker-faced young man who had previously asked him about the princess incident.
"We have received a lot of reports about your human-card romance. Do you two have anything to say about this?" The young man's voice was emotionless, making it impossible to tell what the guild's attitude was towards this.
"We haven't violated any regulations, and these reports are not supportable." Yan Zhou looked at the young man calmly, "I don't think that human-card romance should be banned. Card creatures are also living beings, and it is possible for them to fall in love. I support the concept that the guild has always advocated. When we treat card lives, we should treat them as normal living beings in reality, and fully respect them without discrimination."
Unlike Yan Zhou's well-reasoned argument, Pei Yuanfei sneered, "They are just jealous, a bunch of people without wives."
Pei Yuanfei's words were very rude, but because of his high status, no one said anything about it.
“But many people think that by choosing human-card love, you are trying to use this shortcut to gain more card power.” When the poker-faced young man said this, his tone suddenly became very sharp.
"What shortcut? How is that possible? At worst, I can swear in public that I will never use any power from my boyfriend. When he comes back—" Pei Yuanfei paused, and a little sadness flashed across his eyebrows, but he quickly suppressed it. "I will never let him do anything for me. I can accept public supervision and broadcast the whole process live."
Pei Yuanfei's tone suddenly became a little subtle as he spoke, "From now on, I will definitely be the one brushing his teeth, washing his face, washing his clothes and pants, feeding him, and carrying him to various places. I will never let him use any strength for me."
As Su Yuan listened, his eyes widened, making him look like a giant baby.
Su Yuan noticed that Yan Zhou's eyes had also widened slightly, and he turned around and stared at Pei Yuanfei deeply.
Just when Su Yuan thought Yan Zhou would stop Pei Yuanfei's confusing speech, he heard Yan Zhou's loud voice, "I can do it too!"
Su Yuan: “?”
In response to their round of remarks, the poker-faced youth said, "Don't show off your affection."
Su Yuan felt embarrassed for Pei Yuanfei and the others, but Pei Yuanfei obviously didn't feel that way. He even snorted coldly a few times.
"You guys can't verify the true intentions of your human-card romance." The young man glanced at the two of them.
"Tsk, that's because they haven't seen my wife yet. If they see her, let alone oppose any kind of relationship, they will just do everything they can to steal my girl." Pei Yuanfei seemed a little annoyed. "Let them report blindly. I'm not afraid anyway. Even if the ban is really issued, as long as they see my wife later, they will definitely immediately clamor that they want to date my wife."
The tips of Su Yuan's ears suddenly turned red.
What nonsense are you talking about!
But the next second, Su Yuan found that those people who had seen him suddenly looked at him, and then nodded in an imperceptible and approving manner.
Yan Zhou's speech was much more rational. "Can we add a love value to the intimacy perception bracelet? If the love values measured by the card master and the card are both high enough, it should be able to prove that the two people are truly in love."
The poker-faced young man thought for a moment and asked, "Have you contacted the bracelet company? Can the admiration value data be added and calculated?"
Pei Yuanfei shook his head and said, "I will push this matter forward as soon as possible."
For some reason, Su Yuan's eyebrows suddenly twitched.
Su Yuan originally thought that this conversation would last for a long time, but unexpectedly, the poker-faced young man quickly said, "You have given us a new idea. The guild will solicit opinions from the public on this to see if everyone is willing to accept this and whether they can formulate a test standard to determine whether a card player and the cards are truly in love."
It seems that this matter is rather special. The guild is not prepared to make an immediate decision, but wants to proceed slowly.
The poker-faced youth continued to ask, "Do you have anything else planned to do regarding human-card romance?"
This is a purely formal inquiry.
Yan Zhou and Pei Yuanfei certainly had other ideas, but they were not prepared to say them in case the guild took precautionary measures in advance.
Yan Zhou shook his head, and Pei Yuanfei suppressed his smile and said, "I'm not going to do anything else. I just hope that you guys can be less conservative."
Logically, this conversation should end here.
But Chu An suddenly opened his mouth and said, "This matter of human-card love——"
As soon as he said this, the whole audience was shocked and the scene became silent for a moment.
This happened not only because Chu An no longer had much control over affairs and rarely expressed his opinions, but also because his prestige was high enough.
Chu An usually doesn't express his opinion.
But once he expresses his opinion, his attitude becomes crucial.
The moment Yan Zhou's expression became solemn, Pei Yuanfei's brows also frowned with some worry.
They looked at each other, some anxiety flashing between their brows.
It’s not their fault for this reaction, because Chu An has always been old-fashioned and conservative.
In the inexplicable silence, Chu An paused for a long time.
Su Yuan, who was originally feeling a little dizzy because of Yan Zhou and Pei Yuanfei, received a look from Chu An that seemed to be asking for his opinion.
Su Yuan's impression of Chu An was that he didn't allow others to have a romantic relationship with him. When he saw this, he immediately nodded to Chu An.
Yes, human-card love is not desirable.
Don't worry about his feelings, just tell Yan Zhou and the others those old-fashioned principles and tell them not to be obsessed with this!
It's best to forget him and start a new life.
Chu An was immediately encouraged and empowered by Su Yuan's nod and said, "I don't agree with what you are doing."
While Su Yuan breathed a sigh of relief, he looked at Chu An with sparkling eyes, waiting for Chu An's next long speech.
Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, the man in a suit and tie who looked particularly old-fashioned said, "You are really too conservative. How can you just passively defend yourself? You should take the initiative and directly find a way to promote the legalization of human-brand marriage!"
Su Yuan: “???”
Just when they told the guild not to be conservative, they discovered that the ones who were conservative were their own Yan Zhou and Pei Yuanfei: "!"
While Chu An was speaking, he secretly glanced at Su Yuan.
Su Yuan was so stunned that the bright eyes that had just appeared had not yet faded.
Chu An's ears suddenly turned a deep red color that looked like blood could drip through them.
Chu An nodded modestly to Yan Zhou and the others.
Su Yuan must have been impressed by his handsomeness.
But the surprises he prepared for Su Yuan were not over yet.
Chu An gently pinched Su Yuan's fingers, trying to restrain the sweetness and joy in his tone, "Yes, I also have a very obedient and soft card wife, we can work towards this direction together."
Su Yuan: “?” Who?
Yan Zhou and Pei Yuanfei were inevitably stunned by Chu An's boastful remarks because they didn't actually ask the question.
But they understood Chu An's feelings very well.
After looking at each other, the two expressed their gratitude to Chu An.
They sighed from the bottom of their hearts, "It seems that you and your wife are very sweet and happy."
Chu An nodded reservedly, but the curve of his mouth could not be concealed at all, "Indeed."
While Su Yuan's mind was blank, he saw with his own eyes how Yan Zhou and the others immediately became sympathetic to Chu An.
Pei Yuanfei sincerely wished, "I hope we can all get what we want."
Yan Zhou followed up, "I hope we can all get what we want."
Chu An also repeated, "I hope we can all get what we want."
Su Yuan wanted to pounce on him immediately.
This, what are these?
But the scene in front of him was not over yet, and Su Yuan heard Chu An's voice next to him.
"I've heard about your problems. I'm very sad about your wife's situation. I also really want to help you. In fact, the guild may be able to help you right now."
