Shen Yinan was silent for a moment and shook his head.
This answer made Xue Du pause.
Obviously, this was not what he had imagined.
He gently flicked Shen Yinan’s earlobe and chuckled, “Do you trust me so much?”
"Um……"
The boy dodged his hand and snuggled deeper into his arms, making it difficult to see his expression.
Xue Du didn't say anything else and patted his back gently, "Go to sleep, baby."
*
Xue Ning has been very busy recently.
On the one hand, he has to manage the company, and on the other hand, he is busy quarreling and breaking up with his girlfriend and making up with her.
I am anxious and in agony every day.
Now, she was lying on the sofa, angrily scolding the man sitting across from her who was staring at the design drawings in a daze:
"So, are you satisfied with this ring? Come take a look at it! Give me your opinion after you've finished looking at it! I have to write a short essay for my girlfriend later!"
Xue Du glanced at her indifferently and said, "You should be very familiar with what I write every week."
Xue Ning: “…”
Xue Ning glanced at the ring design in his hand and sneered, "Is your relationship going well? Who was that person who sighed more than ten times just now?"
The young man lowered his eyes and said nothing.
Xue Huaizhi, who was standing by, took the design album and looked through it for a while. There were hundreds of rings in the album, all designed by masters.
Because of his work in the entertainment industry, Xue Ning knows many luxury designers.
Some time ago, Xue Du asked Xue Ning to find a design master who had been retired for many years to design a couple of rings.
The requirements were so strict and harsh that the old man, who was in his eighties, resigned more than ten times, but was kept back each time by money.
Today, the master sent hundreds of design drawings at once for Xue Du to choose from.
Xue Ning was curious about Xue Du's choice, so he personally delivered it to him when he passed by.
When Xue Huaizhi heard about this, he rushed over from the building next door and brought a camera with him, saying that he wanted to take a picture of his brother's happy moment and bring it home to show his grandmother.
As a result, the two came excitedly, but the person involved looked lifeless.
It's really a downer.
Xue Huaizhi looked at his brother's expression and asked gently, "Adu, did you have a fight with Yinan?"
"No."
"Then... is there a problem at work recently? Do you need my help?" According to Assistant He's crying complaint just now, the president has been unhappy for several days and everyone is very scared.
"Not really, everything is fine at the company."
Xue Ning suddenly interrupted: "Is that unpleasant? Are you not able to do it?"
Xue Huaizhi glanced at his sister and said in a more serious tone, "Ningning, don't talk nonsense."
But when he turned his head again, he couldn't control his eyes and glanced at Xue Du's abdomen.
Xue Du: “…”
The young man pressed his eyebrows together. "It's not as complicated as you think... Never mind. It's nothing. Maybe I'm overthinking it."
"Are you trying to drive me crazy?" Xue Ning was unhappy. "If there's anything tragic going on, tell us about it and let everyone gloat over it."
“…”
Xue Du tapped the tabletop for a while before saying, "I've discovered that Yinan is... too obedient to me."
"What are the details?" Xue Huaizhi asked.
"Whatever I offer him, he accepts it. After we got together, he never rejected any proposal of mine, even if he himself felt resistant to it."
Xue Ning was so envious that she almost cried when she heard this: "You're still not satisfied with this. What do you want? If my girlfriend can obey me for an hour, I'd want to call her sister!"
She emphasized: "In case you forget, I am nineteen days older than Han Yu."
Unlike her, Xue Huaizhi summarized the meaning of Xue Du's words.
"You think... Yinan has lost himself too much in this relationship, right?"
Xue Ning also came back to her senses and asked, "I just remembered that a few days ago, you and Guan Gaojun's boyfriend were on the hot search list? Wasn't he jealous, didn't he make a fuss with you, and didn't he bite you?"
"On the contrary, he wasn't jealous, but became even more attached to me."
Ever since that incident, Ana Shen has been very clingy and well-behaved these past few days.
He even asked for a kiss in the morning.
He was so enthusiastic that he almost didn’t seem like Shen Yinan anymore.
Thinking of this, Xue Du pressed his eyebrows and didn't want to say a word.
At this moment, Xue Du's cell phone rang.
It was Shen Yinan who called.
The other two stared at Xue Du nervously, their breathing becoming shallow.
Xue Du answered the phone, his voice as gentle as usual: "Do you miss me?"
“Well…” Shen Yinan’s voice sounded a little nasal and muffled, “Are you going home for dinner tonight? My colleague gave me some flower cakes.”
"Okay, is there anything else you want to eat?"
“No.” Shen Yinan whispered, “It’s good to be with you.”
The two talked for a few more words before hanging up the phone.
Xue Ning's expression turned serious after hearing this. "Last night, I saw a marketing account digging up rumors about Xue Du's past girlfriends. Even though they deleted it this morning, the rumors were so exaggerated. Xiao Shen isn't even angry?"
She concluded: "The flower cake must be poisonous!"
Xue Huaizhi interrupted her: "...It's not that exaggerated, Ningning, maybe Xiao Shen just doesn't want to argue with others."
"Brother, you don't understand." Xue Ning said, "Imagine this: a man posted online saying he and the person you like are a couple, and marketing accounts and netizens all think they're a good match. What would you think? Would you want to kill him?"
"...I'm not as extreme as you. At most, I'll ban you."
“Look, Ana Shen is not jealous at all, this is very problematic!”
Xue Du said nothing.
The fingertips tapped on the table faster and faster, enough to show the owner's irritability and anxiety.
During this period, he was immersed in the happiness of mutual affection and ignored Shen Yinan's abnormality.
The air was silent for a long moment, the only sound being the tapping of knuckles on the table.
Xue Ning suddenly said: "Since he feels insecure, why don't you tell him about what happened before?"
"If he knew that you were the one who funded him back then..."
