Li Peiyu finished her crayfish, looking satisfied. She stood up and said, "Wang Boyang, why don't you take a few days off?"

"The company can't do without people." Wang Boyang's first reaction was to refuse; he was used to being dedicated to his work.

"It's okay, you rest, I'll go to work for a few days."

"How can that be?" Wang Boyang refused sharply, completely oblivious to Gu Yan's displeased expression.

"Why not? Many pregnant women work until the day before their due date. I'm only two months along."

"Why do you have to make me rest when I'm perfectly fine?"

"This afternoon, my good brother, you complained to me, saying I'm like Liu the Skinflint, exploiting you and that if I don't let you rest, you'll die of overwork." Li Peiyu raised an eyebrow at Gu Yan.

Wang Boyang also glanced at Gu Yan, who was looking at him with disappointment and frustration.

"Will President Lu agree?" Wang Boyang looked at Lu Yuzhi, his expression neither warm nor cold, his eyes neither calm nor indifferent, but Wang Boyang felt inexplicably a little scared.

“Dad, taking leave is an employee’s legal right,” Gu Yan said loudly.

Lu Yuzhi lifted his eyelids and looked at Gu Yan as if he were an idiot. "Let's break up."

Wang Boyang breathed a sigh of relief, feeling as if he had escaped from the jaws of death.

"Thank you, husband." Li Peiyu walked over to Lu Yuzhi and massaged his back.

"Thank you, Dad," Gu Yan said with a bright smile.

"Wang Boyang is on vacation, what are you thanking him for? What business is it of yours?" Lu Yuzhi deliberately questioned Gu Yan in a deep voice.

Wang Boyang was so startled that he swallowed hard, choked, and coughed repeatedly.

Lu Yu suppressed a sneer. She was so easily frightened.

Gu Yan, not bothering to answer his father's question, hurriedly patted Wang Boyang's back, his tone full of concern, "What's wrong? What's wrong?"

Wang Boyang waved his hand, "I'm fine."

Gu Yan stopped patting Wang Boyang's back and picked up the cup to give him some water.

Li Peiyu bit her lip, feeling that something was off about the scene no matter how she looked at it. But she was rather slow to grasp things and didn't have a particularly vivid imagination; she just felt something was strange, but couldn't quite put her finger on why.

Wang Boyang pushed away his cup and stood up. "It's getting late, I won't disturb you any longer."

"Okay, Wang Boyang, take a good rest these next few days," Li Peiyu instructed. "Look at you, you look exhausted, like someone has drained all your energy."

Gu Yan couldn't help but sneer upon hearing this; he was the culprit behind that cramp.

Wang Boyang's face turned bright red, and he hurriedly walked outside.

For him, the Lu family was practically a battlefield.

As Wang Boyang stepped out of the Lu family's gate, he sighed deeply, "I'll never come here again."

Why?

“I’m scared when I see your dad. I’m afraid he’ll slap me to death.”

"Now you know fear?" Gu Yan looked at Wang Boyang with a calm expression, his eyes sparkling.

"I'm leaving, I need to go back and calm down." Wang Boyang took a step, but Gu Yan held him back tightly.

"I'll take you there."

"No need, you should go back now."

Gu Yan took Wang Boyang's hand, her eyes wet as she looked at him, muttering something indistinctly.

"What did you say?" Wang Boyang didn't hear clearly and asked again carefully.

"I want a long farewell kiss." Gu Yan said each word clearly, his voice so soft it could barely be heard.

Wang Boyang chuckled, lowered his head and lightly touched his lips, then immediately moved away, "I wouldn't dare to do that at your front door."

"What a coward,"

"When you meet my dad, I'll see if you're still a coward."

"Of course I won't back down."

"You better not back down. I'm afraid you'll be so scared that you'll break up with me right away."

Gu Yan deliberately teased him, feigning seriousness, and thought for a moment, "I was just bragging. I might actually be so scared I'd want to break up with you." Before he could finish speaking, the back of his head was grabbed, and his lips were fiercely sealed, deeply plundered, relentlessly sucking away.

Gu Yan responded enthusiastically.

It's hard to part.

After a long while, he released his grip.

"Try breaking up with me if you dare," Wang Boyang said in a hoarse voice.

"What do you want?"

Wang Boyang stared intently at the person who had provoked him, saying, "I'll beat you unconscious."
