Xu Nuo leaned back on the sofa, phone in hand, staring blankly at the more than twenty cups of milk tea laid out on the tea table…
After settling him in here, Ye Linyan kept his head buried in his desk and never looked up again.
A knock sounded on the door, and Chen Cheng walked in, carrying a small box in one hand and a stack of documents in the other.
Place the document on Ye Linyan's desk and tell him that the meeting will start in ten minutes.
"knew."
Chen Cheng stood in front of the desk without leaving. Ye Linyan looked up and asked with his eyes.
"Mr. Ye, these are snacks my colleague asked me to give to Mr. Xu!"
Chen Cheng held the small box in her hand in front of Ye Linyan.
Upon hearing that it was for her, Xu Nuo sat up from the sofa.
"Take it to him!"
Chen Cheng held the small box and placed it in front of Xu Nuo, smiling brightly.
Why did they bring me snacks?
Xu Nuo truly couldn't guess why someone would send him snacks.
"They said they were worried you'd be bored working with President Ye, so they specially sent these to you!"
Chen Cheng pointed outside and whispered, "There's more after you finish eating!"
————————————————————
A few minutes after Chen Cheng left, Ye Linyan got up from his large office chair, glanced at his watch, and looked at Xu Nuo, who was staring blankly at a pile of snacks and milk tea on the sofa, and said:
"Come with me to the meeting!"
"I'm not going! I absolutely refuse to go!"
Xu Nuo flopped onto the sofa and clung to the armrest, refusing to let go.
Ye Linyan walked up to him, bent down, pinched his cheek, and smiled:
"If you don't come with me, after I leave, do you think someone will come in under the pretense of bringing you snacks? I bet more than one will!"
Xu Nuo rolled her eyes, glanced at the table full of milk tea and snacks, and reluctantly got up.
Ye Linyan led Xu Nuo into the conference room. The atmosphere in the originally serious conference room immediately became strange after Ye Linyan led Xu Nuo in.
Sitting in the front seat, Wang Jinfeng felt a sudden rush of energy to his head the moment he saw Xu Nuo. With so many high-ranking officials present, he couldn't say anything! His hand gripping the pen nearly snapped the expensive fountain pen in two!
"You sit here."
Ye Linyan pulled over a chair and placed it next to him, promising to sit down before he himself sat down.
He tapped on the table, and only then did everyone's attention return to Ye Linyan.
For the next three hours, I could barely understand any of their promises; it was so boring that I could only look down and play on my phone.
At the end of the meeting, Ye Linfang stood up, bowed, and then spoke:
"Starting tomorrow, I will resign from my position as president and go on vacation abroad! Vice President Wang will temporarily assume the presidency..."
"Mr. Ye, it's not appropriate for you to resign at this juncture! Any important matters can wait..."
"Manager Wang, I know you are acting in the company's best interests, but this is my personal matter. Today, the company's board members and senior management are all here, so I'd like to make things clear to everyone!"
Ye Linyan stood up straight, straightened his cuffs, and said seriously:
"I resigned from my position as CEO because I need to prepare for my wedding! In another year, I'll be thirty, and it's time to settle down!"
As soon as he said this, all eyes in the room immediately fell on Xu Nuo.
Wang Jinfeng finally broke the pen in his hand.
Xu Nuo's hand trembled, and the phone fell to the ground, making the only sound in the entire conference room.
It was unheard of for someone to come to such an important meeting with such a promise, and Ye Linyan's words in public were even more difficult for some of the older people present to accept!
One of the company's senior employees was about to speak when Ye Linyan glared at him and shut him up.
Ye Linyan cleared his throat and continued:
"Xu Nuo, I believe some of you here are already familiar with him! Today, I'll reintroduce him to you!"
Ye Linyan pulled Xu Nuo up and made him stand beside her:
"I promise you, my love!"
............................................................................
Xu Nuo didn't know how he left the meeting room or when the others left. When he came to his senses, he was already in Ye Linyan's office.
Wang Jinfeng went in and out several times, and each time it started and ended with an argument!
Xu Nuo didn't listen to a word they said!
What kept echoing in his mind was Ye Linyan holding his hand, standing there, saying firmly:
"I promise you, my love!"
Midway through the call, Wang Jinfeng made a phone call to Xu Nuo. Xu Nuo avoided Ye Linyan and answered the call from the furthest point in the office from him. Throughout the entire call, Xu Nuo barely spoke, simply listening to Wang Jinfeng's incessant rambling…
————————————————————————
Ye Linyan was busy at the company until very late, and she and Xu Nuo had dinner in the office.
After leaving the company and getting into the car, Xu Nuo glanced at the time and realized that it was almost midnight.
Wang Mingwu drove along a street with few people. Xu Nuo kept looking out the window. When Ye Linyan spoke to him, he only gave perfunctory responses.
"Awu, stop the car!"
At the foot of the mountain, Ye Linyan stopped the car.
Xu Nuo looked at Ye Linyan with a somewhat blank expression.
"Get down, Arnold!"
Xu Nuo didn't understand what Ye Linyan was going to do, so she could only get off the bus with him.
Ye Linyan pulled Xu Nuo to the front of the car and pointed to the moon in the sky:
"Today is the fifteenth, look how beautiful the moon is!"
Xu Nuo looked up and saw a bright white full moon hanging in the sky. The weather was fine today, and the moonlight spread across the road, covering it with a layer of silvery-white gauze.
"Come on up!"
Ye Linyan stood in front of Xu Nuo and bowed slightly.
"hurry up!"
Seeing that Xu Nuo was still in a daze, Ye Linyan urged him on.
Xu Nuo slowly climbed onto Ye Linyan's back, and Ye Linyan carried Xu Nuo, bouncing him up a little.
"I'll carry you home!"
Ye Linyan's words pulled both of their thoughts back to the night Xu Nuo asked Ye Linyan for a birthday present. He had also been carrying Xu Nuo on his back like this, except that night, the moon wasn't full...
"Arno, I will never abandon you halfway again! Never!"
Ye Linyan carried Xu Nuo on his back as they walked uphill, occasionally glancing up at the moon in the sky!
"I know............."
Xu Nuo hugged Ye Linyan's neck tightly and rubbed her head against the crook of his neck.
"Didn't you say you wanted the moon? What are you doing here? Look up!"
Ye Linyan felt ticklish from his rubbing, tilted her head, and said softly.
Xu Nuo nestled in Ye Linyan's neck and laughed, baring her little tiger teeth as she gave Ye Linyan's neck a light bite:
"Why look at it! The moon in my heart is already firmly in my grasp!"
The End!
