Chapter 103 Zhu Yan and You Are Back Pei Qing Also...

Pei Qing also added a few chat logs. Ning Buyi glanced at them and saw that they were going to a welcome banquet or something, and that Brother Zhu and Brother Xie had missed each other for so many years, and now they were coming to save their husbands.

Some people even mentioned him, saying he was just a small-time streamer, or rather, Zhu Yanhe's kept man. Ning Buyi got angry when he saw this. Hey! He's not a small-time streamer, he's a big streamer with hundreds of thousands of fans!

Those second-generation rich kids speculated that Zhu Yanhe was suppressed and forced to leave home by Ning Buyi, his illegitimate son, and that Xie Yuchen's sudden return to China must be to avenge Zhu Yanhe. Their imaginations are truly rich; they can conjure up a melodramatic family drama based on just a few photos.

Ning Buyi was still angry after thinking about it. He forwarded the chat history to Zhu Yanhe and typed a line.

Ning Buyi: Hey! Explain yourself! I'm the top anchor.

At this moment, Zhu Yanhe was driving, with the heater on in the car, and someone sitting in the back.

"Thank you, Zhu Yanhe, for coming to pick me up so early. I heard you've got a little streamer on your paycheck."

Zhu Yanhe said in a nonchalant tone: "It's because I like him and he likes my relationship. Also, he's a big streamer."

Just then, his phone rang with a series of special ringtones. Zhu Yanhe opened the message on the car screen and saw that Ning Buyi had sent a series of familiar emojis. Since it wasn't convenient to type in the car, he replied with a voice message.

"Yes, our Ning Buyi is a top streamer."

However, he wasn't in that group chat mentioned in Ning Buyi's chat history, which doesn't explain anything.

Xie Yuchen looked like he'd seen a ghost. Seriously? What happened to him during those few years? How did Zhu Yanhe become like this? Wasn't he always that aloof, unapproachable god? Now he reeks of romance.

Are you still Zhu Yanhe?

Zhu Yanhe didn't speak, but just glanced at him. That look... he was sure of it. This was definitely still Zhu Yanhe.

Xie Yuchen straightened his expression and asked, "What's the current situation at the company?"

"We found a technology alternative, and at the same time, we developed our own." Zhu Yanhe rested his hands on the steering wheel and looked ahead.

“Originally, that technology company was the best match, but now we can’t compete with other products using alternatives.”

Xie Yuchen analyzed that this was indeed the most critical issue for Zhu Yan and the company at present. If his technology was slightly inferior, then partners would not choose him as their first choice. The only solution was to offer concessions.

"Currently, we have a regular partner in City A."

But that's far from enough. Zhu Yanhe can only ensure the company's normal operation right now; what he wants to do is expand into an industry leader.

"That technology is essential. There should be a charity gala in a couple of days. Will President Wang be attending?"

Zhu Yanhe nodded noncommittally. Even though he had previously been unwilling to cooperate with this person, he had no other choice at the moment. Even if Zhu Yanhe cooperated, he would still be the one in control, after all, his reputation still mattered.

"Ugh! I'm already being exploited as soon as I got back to China!" Xie Yuchen leaned back in the back seat in a lazy posture.

Ning Buyi was very satisfied with his voice message and posted it on his WeChat Moments. The comment section was filled with a million questions.

Li Chang: You only noticed the junior anchor?

Pei Qing: Why do you tell Zhu Yanhe everything?

Jingjing: When did you become a wealthy family's illegitimate child?

After his afternoon nap, he went to the president's office as usual, just like a primary school student who is called to the teacher's office to do homework at noon.

"When do you start school?" Zhu Guanghai looked up at the documents in his hand. Sigh, he still has to go to work. What a miserable life.

Ning Buyi lowered his head and wrote on the test paper, the pen tip making a swishing sound as it slid across the paper. He bit a bit of the pen tip and wrote: "Zhu Yanhe said he would go after the New Year."

Where to access it?

Zhu Yanhe said he attended a private school.

"So, which university are you applying to?"

“Zhu Yanhe told me I could take the exam anywhere, and he said he wanted to go with me.”

The two exchanged questions and answers while continuing with their own tasks. Zhu Yanhe put down the documents in his hand and commented, "Why do you keep bringing up that brat? Don't you have any thoughts of your own?"

"But that's what he said."

Zhu Guanghai was truly disappointed in Ning Buyi. He had at least taken care of her for half a month, but he was treating her like a daughter-in-law. He quickly suppressed this wicked thought.

Zhu Guanghai: "Just you wait and see, you'll be crying later."

Ning Buyi didn't understand why he said that, and he still didn't understand when he took the car back in the afternoon. When he got on the car, Zhu Yanhe called him and told him that he wouldn't be going home for dinner tonight either.

All right.

When I got home, my aunt had just left. Ning Buyi was alone in the warm house, the dishes on the table were still steaming. Zhu Yanhe had also come home late last night and late today.

He was scrolling through his phone out of boredom when Pei Qing sent him a bunch of messages, including chat logs and photos.

Pei Qing: [Chat Log]

Pei Qing: [Image]

Pei Qing: Look at him, he's not going with you to this person's welcome banquet. By the way, I didn't take this picture; I was at home, I didn't go.

Ning Buyi scrolled through the photos. It was of a big restaurant with a large round table and lots of delicious-looking dishes. He wanted to eat that golden-brown fried food.

There were at least twenty people sitting in a circle. He saw Zhu Yanhe, sitting at the very top, with people sitting on either side of him. The one on the right looked a bit disheveled, while the one on the left, well, he was handsome.

Ning Buyi scrolled across the screen, muttering to himself, and finally sent the picture to Zhu Yanhe, even circling the dish in the picture so that Zhu Yanhe wouldn't recognize it.

How wonderful it would be to have a plate of fried food like this at night.

Thinking of this, Ning Buyi felt energetic even looking at the food in front of him. On the other end of the phone, laughter and conversation filled the large private room. Zhu Yanhe looked down at his phone, then looked up at the dining table.

He got up and left the private room. When he returned, Xie Yuchen asked him, "Where did you go?"

Zhu Yanhe scrolled through her phone, sent a reply emoji, and then took a moment to reply to Xie Yuchen: "I'll pack up a dish."

Xie Yuchen glanced at the chat history between the two out of the corner of his eye, and silently moved his chair a little further away. Good heavens, the smell was almost wafting over.

The clinking of glasses on the table and various tapping sounds mingled with the conversation. Everyone was having a great time, and when the dinner ended, they were all clamoring to go to another one. Xie Yuchen agreed and turned to ask, "Zhu Yanhe, are you coming?"

Zhu Yanhe frowned slightly: "No, something came up at home."

As he spoke, he glanced at his watch; the hands were already past ten o'clock, and Ning Buyi was about to go to sleep. Zhu Yanhe said he would go first, and walked past the people standing there before leaving.

Ning Buyi really needed to sleep, but he sat on the bed and refused to sleep. He hadn't eaten yet, but his eyelids were starting to droop.

He sat on the cotton bed, leaning against the headboard as if in a meditative state, waiting for Zhu Yanhe to return. But after a moment there was a noise at the door. The person on the bed didn't react for a long time, and had already fallen to his side against the headboard. If you got close, you could hear his even breathing.

When Zhu Yanhe opened the door and saw that no one came out, he knew that Ning Buyi was already asleep. He put the snacks he had brought back into the insulated box so that they would still be warm if Ning Buyi wanted to eat them tomorrow.

The room door was pushed open, and a beam of brighter light shone into the dim environment. The person on the bed was sleeping under the covers, with their cotton pajamas half-lifted up. Fortunately, the heating was on full blast.

Zhu Yanhe moved quietly to the bedside, intending to pick him up. He had only lifted Ning Buyi up a little when Ning Buyi grumbled in dissatisfaction. Zhu Yanhe realized he had been a bit too rough, so he gently tucked the boy back into the blanket.

When the man finished washing up and got into bed, before he could even pull the boy into his arms, the boy automatically snuggled into a warmer place, snuggling into Zhu Yanhe's arms, his soft hair brushing against his chest.

In a muffled voice, he said, "Zhu Yanhe, you're back."

The man gently patted his back to lull him to sleep: "Mmm."

"I was already asleep when you came back."

The second half of the sentence was spoken in a softer and softer voice. Ning Buyi's consciousness briefly woke up and then drifted back to sleep. He used to stay up very late in internet cafes, and since his live streams were all at night, Ning Buyi's sleep schedule was generally like that of an owl.

Now he occasionally does live streams, and Zhu Yan and Tie Da Bu Dong coax him to sleep before 11 pm every night, which has given him a healthy sleep schedule. Now he doesn't need to be coaxed and his body starts to feel sleepy as soon as it's time to go to sleep.

The glaring sunlight streamed in through the glass window. Ning Buyi opened his eyes and found that the room beside him was empty again. Didn't Zhu Yanhe come back last night?

He climbed out of his warm bed, jogged to open the door, but there was no one outside. He called out to Zhu Yanhe a few times, but no one answered.

All right.

He turned and went back to his room, struggling to put on the clothes prepared by the bedside. There was a breakfast set on the dining table, along with a sticky note. Ning Buyi sat down at the table, tore off the sticky note, and looked at it.

[The driver will also take you there in the morning. There will be some food you want to eat in the cooler box. You can only eat a little; you can't eat anything too oily in the morning.]

Zhu Yanhe's calligraphy was vigorous and powerful. Following the instructions, he opened the insulated box. The plate he had said he wanted to eat yesterday was inside. Ning Buyi took two and stuffed them into his mouth. Delicious!

He ate only two pieces before closing the insulated box, tiptoed back to the table, stuffed the rest of his breakfast down, and left.

Lately, Zhu Yanhe has been spending less and less time with him. Tonight, Zhu Yanhe didn't come home to have dinner with him, so he ate the whole plate of shrimp balls by himself. It's all Zhu Yanhe's fault for not coming home.

Zhu Yanhe sent Ning Buyi a message in advance that he had something to do that night. Ning Buyi saw it and replied with a bunch of interactive and slapping emojis.

"Go in." Xie Yuchen, dressed in a well-tailored suit, walked over and patted Zhu Yanhe on the shoulder, reminding the man that it was time to enter.

Zhu Yan nodded slightly, put away his phone, and followed him into the banquet hall. As soon as he entered, dozens of eyes fell on him. The news of Ning Buyi's "illegitimate child" had been circulating in the industry.

Their biggest expectation was Zhu Yanhe's attitude: would she establish her own household and leave the family to her illegitimate child, or would she be humiliated and kicked out of the house? Many people were hoping for Zhu Yanhe's downfall.

Zhu Yanhe was dressed in a jet-black suit, his hair styled perfectly. The man stood in the light, his deep-set eyes carrying a cold indifference.

After the others looked away, they joined their friends in gossiping and speculating. Zhu Yanhe stood there, while several company representatives, holding wine glasses, were already itching to get involved. Even a fallen camel is bigger than a horse; Zhu Yanhe's abilities were still there, so quite a few companies were still willing to cooperate with him.

"That person is on the right." Xie Yuchen scanned the area and locked onto the company on the side.

Zhu Yanhe followed the gaze and saw that the man who had fled in panic from the top floor of the Zhu Corporation last time was now looking frivolous and disgusting again.
