Chapter 116 Reimbursement Bills
Yu Yin thought of the watch she had bought for Zhao Shunian in Paris. Even during the Cold War, she had often seen him wearing it. She put herself in his shoes and thought, "I'm sure he would like it."
Xiang Yue offered a suggestion. "Why don't you pick out a gift for him first, and then give it to him after you two have reconciled. Even if it's not on his birthday, it should be something you bought specifically for his birthday. Birthdays only come once a year, and I take them very seriously. I think this day is incredibly important."
Yu Yin was persuaded, and after lunch, Xiang Yue and Mo Qianyao acted as her military advisors.
Yu Yin was particularly afraid of choosing a gift for Zhao Shunian. He had everything he needed, and she didn't know what to give him.
She is a pragmatist and believes that gifts should be given what the other person needs and likes.
When her friends and family members’ birthdays are approaching, Yu Yin pays close attention to whether they are missing anything, or if they reveal what they want during conversation, and she will give them these gifts on their birthdays.
But Zhao Shunian would never reveal this in front of her because he didn't need it at all.
After various suggestions from Xiang Yue and Mo Qianyao, Yu Yin decided on two items. She asked, "Should I give you a pen or a razor?"
Xiang Yue said, "A fountain pen is too formal. I think a razor is a better gift; he uses it often. Well, I think you should give it to him today. Every time he uses it, he'll remember it was you. Who knows, he might even come to you and apologize."
Mo Qianyao offered her own opinion, "I think pens are used quite often, whether formally or not. They're essential for him. He signs contracts and agreements every day, and the sums involved are astronomical. It makes me feel really good about using the pen I gave him for that."
Yu Yin thought about it and decided to choose the razor. She still wanted Zhao Shunian to apologize to her.

Qin He, the general manager of Zhaoshi, was checking the reimbursement bill submitted by Yu Meimei for last month. He found that Yu Meimei had taken his wife's wedding ring for maintenance alone.
During this time, Qin He went to Hushan Villa and didn't see his wife wearing a ring. He also noticed a subtle aura between his boss and his wife. Moreover, his boss's mood had been very unpredictable recently. Usually, he could get a sense of the edge, but now he couldn't even tell where that edge was.
Qin He was absolutely certain they had a conflict, and to this day, they hadn't reconciled. He had originally thought his wife was angry enough to not wear her wedding ring. Now, it seemed there was another reason. He was worried his boss shared his view, thinking his wife wasn't wearing the ring because of their conflict.
As the boss's loyal life assistant, Qin He felt that he had to promote reconciliation between the couple. Only when the boss was in a good mood could they, the subordinates, have a good life.
So, Qin He quickly took the reimbursement bill to the office and reported his findings to Zhao Shunian.
Zhao Shunian also picked up the expense reports and looked at them. He was thinking a lot. Qin He had guessed right, thinking Yu Yin had taken off the ring on purpose to piss him off.
But that wasn't the point. Zhao Shunian shifted his gaze to the repair date. He remembered that Yu Yin had left the ring in that cabinet before, and she had only taken the ring, not the box. Could it be that she had found the hairpin in the box crushed upon her return because she was looking for the box for the ring?
Zhao Shunian called Yu Meimei to ask her about this matter and find out the situation from her.
Yu Meimei said that Yu Yin asked her to take the ring for maintenance the same day she returned. Then, at Zhao Shunian's request, she sent him photos of the ring and box she had taken at the time.
His guess was confirmed, and at this moment, Zhao Shunian felt a little psychologically comforted. It was very likely that Yu Yin did not often miss old people when seeing things, so it must be a coincidence that she discovered it so early.
Zhao Shunian thought again and realized that Yu Yin certainly didn't need to be reminded of Ye Fengjia by seeing the things around her. As long as she wanted, she could see Ye Fengjia every day.
As early as after knowing that Yu Yin and Ye Fengjia worked in the same building, Zhao Shunian specially asked someone to check the surveillance of that building. At that time, the surveillance after May could be checked, but the surveillance before that was not available.
He had no idea when Yu Yin and Ye Fengjia reunited. The surveillance footage he'd seen showed them talking every time they met, even having lunch with their friends. Then they stopped talking again, suddenly becoming strangers. Something must have happened between them, and they must have met privately.
Zhao Shunian wanted to bring Ye Fengjia down and let him know what would happen if he desired someone he shouldn't. But then Zhao Shunian realized that if he didn't understand the situation clearly and acted rashly, he would be pushing Yu Yin to someone else.
Given that Yu Yin had a lot of criminal record in front of Zhao Shunian, and her words were a mixture of truth and lies, he didn't want to hear what she said. He was worried that he would not be able to tell the truth from the lies. He wanted Yu Yin to make her own choice and know her true thoughts from the choice.
But Yu Yin is still stubborn with him and refuses to make any choice.
The things he did for Yu Yin, and every time he discovered signs of a bad love affair, he dealt with it decisively, without Yu Yin worrying about it. He was giving her a sense of security, letting her know that he was loyal to her, because he knew she lacked a sense of security. But Yu Yin never thought that he also needed her to give him a sense of security.
Thinking of this, the psychological comfort that Zhao Shunian had just felt disappeared completely, and his mood changed from gloomy to overcast, and then from overcast back to gloomy.
