After hanging up the phone, Ye Linyan was no longer in the mood to deal with work.
Thinking of Ye Jin's words, and the Cheng family, especially Ye Zhen who would use underhanded tricks and trip her up every now and then, she felt extremely annoyed!
I let out a long breath, suppressing the irritation in my heart, when I heard footsteps approaching from afar.
When I opened my eyes again, a light fragrance of shower gel wafted into my nostrils.
"Are you done with work?"
Xu Nuo, with water still dripping from her head and wearing a black bathrobe, sat on the armrest of the chair.
"Um."
Xu Nuo noticed that Ye Linyan's phone screen was still lit up, and the page was still showing their WeChat chat. She assumed he was watching the short video she had sent him.
He squinted his eyes and grinned so wide his eyes disappeared!
"Bro, were you watching the short video I sent you just now?"
Ye Linyan glanced at her phone, then looked up at Xu Nuo, who was smiling broadly. She reached out and put her arm around his waist, pulling him directly into her embrace.
"Why do you keep sending me these videos all the time? What's the meaning of that? Hmm?"
Xu Nuo fell directly from the armrest of the chair into Ye Linyan's arms. Losing her balance, she could only wrap her arms around his neck.
"So you can learn more!"
Xu Nuo wanted to tell him directly that she thought his skills were terrible, but she was afraid of getting in trouble, so she changed her words before she could finish them.
"Study? Are you targeting me? Do you think I haven't served you well enough?"
"No! No way! I misspoke!"
Xu Nuo saw Ye Linyan's expression change. Although his tone was still normal, he knew Ye Linyan too well. If she continued like this, he would definitely suffer the consequences!
"It's for your enjoyment! I'm sending it to you so you can appreciate it!"
"Admiration, is that it? What's the point of admiring others? You can see them but you can't touch them!"
As she spoke, Ye Linyan lifted Xu Nuo's nightgown.
"Bro, if you want to 'admire' me, I'll take a picture of you sometime!"
Xu Nuo reached out to gather her disheveled nightgown, but Ye Linyan blocked her way.
"I don't like being on camera!"
Seeing that Xu Nuo was always trying to cover up his actions, Ye Linyan simply ripped the belt of his bathrobe and threw it far away.
"Then I'll take pictures with other people! And then I'll send them to you for 'enjoyment'!"
Xu Nuo's little tiger teeth dangled in front of Ye Linyan's eyes.
Ye Linyan grabbed the soft flesh at the base of Xu Nuo's thigh and twisted it hard.
"Ouch! That hurts so much! Let go!"
Xu Nuo reached for Ye Linyan's hand, pleading as she did so, "I was wrong! I misspoke!"
Ye Linyan's hand was pulled down by Xu Nuo, and with a lowered head, he bit Xu Nuo's shoulder.
"It hurts! It hurts! Let go!"
Ye Linyan raised his head, stared into Xu Nuo's eyes, and asked:
"Have you found someone you like outside?"
Looking into Ye Linyan's eyes, which were as cold as stars, Xu Nuo's eyes curved into a smile again:
Not yet!
Ye Linyan's eyes were deep and unfathomable, like a bottomless pool. After staring at Xu Nuo for a few seconds, he placed his hand on his waist and, with a forceful movement, flipped Xu Nuo over.
Lying on Ye Linyan's lap, Xu Nuo felt a chill on her back, her bathrobe fell to the ground, and she chuckled softly.
"Brother, what if I really do find someone I like outside?"
The fingers that had been roaming over his back paused, and after a moment, a hoarse voice finally rang out:
"You want to leave?"
"If... then... then..."
Xu Nuo hesitated for a long time before asking the question. After asking, her heart jumped, and she forced herself to turn her head away so as not to look at Ye Linyan's face.
He was afraid of his answer, afraid of his silence, and even more afraid of seeing the answer in his eyes!
After a long while, just when Xu Nuo thought Ye Linyan wouldn't answer, he heard a very soft voice:
"Um."
? ? ? ? ?
... ... ... ...
What does this mean? What kind of answer is this?
Xu Nuo was pondering the word "hmm" when the phone on the desk rang, breaking the awkward atmosphere.
"Um."
Ye Linyan held Xu Nuo with one hand and answered the phone with the other.
After talking for a while, Ye Linyan only replied with a single word, "Mm".
He put down the phone and slapped Xu Nuo on the lower back: "I have to start a video conference right now, come down!"
Xu Nuo rolled off Ye Linyan, walked to the robe that had just been thrown away, picked it up, and put it back on.
Just now, Ye Linyan's words made Xu Nuo feel a pang of sadness, and at the same time, she felt a tightness in her chest.
They slept in the same bed for five years, but never defined their relationship. He never told Xu Nuo he liked her, and Xu Nuo never told him either!
Xu Nuo kept thinking, if one day Ye Linyan suddenly had someone else or was about to get married, would she not even have the right to ask him a question?
Xu Nuo dared not ask Ye Linyan what their relationship was, for fear that the answer he would hear would not be what he wanted!
After all, she had promised to pester him relentlessly and insist on sleeping with him!
What makes Xu Nuo happy is that Ye Linyan has never been with anyone else. Even now that his status is different and he has a higher position, and so many women are willing to climb into his bed, he has never touched them!
Five years have passed, and his bed is filled only with promises!
As for those who occasionally offered themselves to him, Xu Nuo would always find a way to drive them away, and Ye Linyan never stopped him from doing so.
Xu Nuo sometimes wondered if Ye Linyan liked her. There's a saying, "Familiarity breeds fondness!"
Thinking of this, I couldn't help but smile. When I looked up again, Ye Linyan had already turned on his computer and entered the video conference.
The afternoon sunlight streamed in through the window, illuminating Ye Linyan's profile and softening his otherwise sharp features.
When talking to outsiders or company employees, Xu Nuo often hears comments about Ye Linyan. Most people think that he has a mild temper and a kind nature. At least, he never loses his temper with the company's employees.
But Xu Nuo knew that it was just a mask. Just like what she saw now, this gentle expression was only on the surface. Once the mask was torn off, the face underneath would be Ye Linyan's true appearance.
He has a terrible temper; you could say he explodes at the slightest provocation!
He also has a quick temper and is very irritable!
In the early days of their relationship, Xu Nuo often suspected that Ye Linyan might have bipolar disorder, as he would become unusually talkative and prone to throwing things when he got angry.
In the last two or three years, things have been getting better and more stable, and he has been attending more business parties. He has also learned to disguise himself.
Thinking of this, Xu Nuo laughed to himself.
No matter how well you pretend, you can't change your true nature, especially when you're in bed, your impatient and domineering side will be revealed!
Looking at Ye Linyan's profile, which appeared gentle in the sunlight, Xu Nuo revealed her little tiger teeth, bent down, dodged the computer camera, and crouched down to crawl under the desk.
