Extra 1
It seemed like Zhou Yunyu realized for the first time that Zhou Yi was a stingy person.
-
In Zhou Yi's eyes, the relationship between him and Zhou Yunyu seemed to be completely clear. Even the hurdle that he was initially worried about, Mr. and Mrs. Jay, was easily approved by them.
Even Zhou Yunyu felt that their relationship could have been made clear to the outside world.
Anyway, in everyone's eyes, Zhou Yi is also a human being. Except that his assets are not as much as the Zhou family's, he seems to be a good match for Zhou Yunyu in every aspect.
Even the household head whom he registered to forge a human identity, his legal father, was a distant relative of Zhou Yunyu's family, so there was no ethical problem.
Later, when preparing for the wedding, Zhou Yunyu was still feeling fortunate that her parents did not ask her uncle for help when they forged a human identity for Zhou Yi, otherwise they would have been in an immoral relationship and could not even get married.
However, Zhou Yi still rejected Zhou Yunyu's suggestion to make their relationship public. Deep down, he actually wanted everyone in the world to know that he was Zhou Yunyu's lover.
But for the sake of reason, he couldn't do that for the time being.
Zhou Yunyu had only just established herself in the company, and because she was young and a girl, many people looked down on her. Even so, she had been managing the group in an orderly manner for the past few years, and the company was doing well.
As her closest subordinate, he was only there to assist her in her work. Now that they were together, it was inevitable that others would think that Zhou Yunyu was still thinking about "hidden rules" for his subordinates while working.
Even if it was actually Zhou Yi who seduced her unilaterally, the right and wrong of the matter would still point to her.
He would rather others scold him than see the most malicious words towards women thrown at her, so at least for the time being, their relationship cannot be revealed.
But this was a little difficult for Zhou Yi. When he looked at Zhou Yunyu, he couldn't help but want to hug her and want her to kiss him.
Fortunately, they can still flirt secretly when they are in the office.
However, with the New Year approaching, Zhou Yunyu's workload has increased again. She is either in meetings, on business trips, or processing work documents in the office. Once she immerses herself in work, she completely forgets about her all-round AI home boyfriend.
Mr. Zhou's work became busier, so Assistant Zhou's work naturally became more abundant as well.
Zhou Yi finally squeezed out some time to rest and came to Zhou Yunyu's office to see her.
As a result, she just looked up at Zhou Yi and gave him a perfunctory smile, "There are snacks on the table sent by Aunt Lin. You can eat them if you want." Aunt Lin is the aunt who usually cooks for them.
Zhou Yi looked at Zhou Yunyu somewhat depressedly, with a face full of resentment. He inexplicably felt that Zhou Yunyu seemed to love work more than him.
Zhou Yunyu seemed completely unaware that Zhou Yi was staring at her. She was typing away on the keyboard, and after typing the last word, she finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Recently, a company has been researching technology that can convert consciousness into text at the same time. She thinks she must try to operate the computer with her mind in the future.
She stretched and yawned loudly. Zhou Yunyu seemed to still hear the sound of her bones creaking.
After Zhou Yi noticed her movements, he stood up from the sofa, walked behind her, put his hands on her shoulders, and massaged her to relieve the soreness caused by sitting for a long time.
"Press it up a little more." She reached behind her back, held Zhou Yi's hand, and moved it upwards.
"Here?"
"Yeah, it's right here, hiss..." Zhou Yunyu took a breath subconsciously.
"My waist hurts too." She turned her chair around to face Zhou Yi. Later she realized that he seemed a little depressed because she had ignored him just now. Zhou Yunyu held his hand and squeezed it.
Seeing her take the initiative to hold his hand, Zhou Yi instantly stopped complaining about her husband and a look of joy appeared on his face. "Then let me massage your waist for you?"
"It doesn't seem very convenient here. Let's do it when we get home tonight." Zhou Yunyu raised her head and looked at him, still playing with Zhou Yi's warm hands.
"Can we go to the bedroom for a massage? Okay?" he asked softly.
Zhou Yunyu nodded, "Okay, let's have lunch and then have a massage." She still had some work to finish in the morning, and now it was almost time to get off work, so she wanted to finish it before going to dinner.
"Okay." Zhou Yi knew that Zhou Yunyu was the type of person who didn't want to stop once he started doing something, so he didn't say anything else.
The heating in the office was sufficient. Zhou Yi was wearing what he wore in autumn, a shirt and a suit jacket. The tie he wore today looked like it was given to him by her.
There were so many styles given that she couldn't even remember them all.
His true figure was hard to tell through his shirt. Zhou Yunyu shook off his hand, raised her hand slightly and touched his abdominal muscles through his shirt. Well, even in winter, he maintained a good figure.
When a more sensitive part of his body was touched, Zhou Yi subconsciously let out a light hum.
Zhou Yunyu tilted her head to look at the reaction on his face and was amused by his inexplicably innocent expression. She grabbed his tie and pulled him towards her.
Zhou Yi followed her advice and bent down to get closer to her. Zhou Yunyu raised her head and pecked Zhou Yi's lips, "I'm so tired. I want a kiss."
Zhou Yi smiled, held her hand and bent down to kiss her again. Compared to the light kiss she had just given him, this kiss Zhou Yi initiated was much deeper.
Zhou Yunyu was soon a little confused by the kiss again. She suspected that Zhou Yi could live normally without lungs. When he kissed her passionately, it was as if she didn't need to breathe.
After the kiss, Zhou Yunyu simply rested her head on Zhou Yi's shoulder. He still had her favorite smell, and she was somewhat addicted to such a familiar and warm embrace.
Seeing that she had no desire to end, Zhou Yi bent over and hugged her in the same position.
Until there was a sudden knock on the door. Thinking that it was still working hours and the two of them were not in a public state yet, Zhou Yunyu reflexively raised his head and pushed Zhou Yi away.
Zhou Yi looked at her in surprise. Zhou Yunyu touched the tip of her nose and said, "Maybe it's Li Zhu..."
She turned her chair around and called out to the door, and the person opened it. It was Assistant Li. She had just told Zhou Yunyu that there was a document she needed her to sign, so she happened to be in her office looking for her.
Assistant Li looked up and found that Assistant Zhou was also there, but usually Assistant Zhou almost always stayed with General Zhou. They both looked like workaholics and were probably just talking about work. She didn't notice the resentful look on Zhou Yi's face.
After confirming that there were no problems with the document, Zhou Yunyu signed it and Li Zhu left her office.
Zhou Yunyu felt something hot behind her. When she turned around, she found that Zhou Yi was staring at her closely.
The expression on his face was still as gentle as usual, but his eyes looked a little strange.
She turned her chair and faced Zhou Yi, "Do you have work this morning? Go back to your office. I still have some things to do."
Zhou Yunyu actually stopped hugging him! Zhou Yi's brows were bent, and the look in his eyes became even more lost. When Li Zhu knocked on the door, Zhou Yunyu pushed him away so smoothly, as if she didn't want to hug him at all.
"Why do you have that expression?" A boss whose only focus was on work spoke up.
"I want you to hug me again." He said softly with his head lowered.
Zhou Yi didn’t know how to act coquettishly with her before, he could only show weakness and give in to her. It seemed that he started to learn how to act coquettishly after they confirmed their relationship. But in fact, it was not that he didn’t know how to act coquettishly, but that he didn’t dare.
Before he had a formal status, he felt that he didn't even have the right to act like a spoiled child. It was only after practicing it a few times recently that Zhou Yi realized that Zhou Yunyu seemed to be very fond of it.
"Then just hug him for a while longer." Zhou Yunyu stood up from the office chair and hugged him for a while as usual.
She wondered in her heart why Zhou Yi was so aggrieved. She was just afraid of being discovered by others. Besides, they had agreed to keep their relationship secret for the time being. Zhou Yi was really a stingy guy.
"Zhou Yi."
"Um?"
"You're really affecting my work. I can't concentrate with you here."
She buried her head in his shoulder and took a deep breath.
Zhou Yunyu poked his chest several times with her fingertips as she spoke.
Zhou Yi knew that the meaning behind her words actually meant that she liked him, and the lost expression on his face immediately dissipated a little, "It's all my fault." Zhou Yi followed her words and said.
"My beloved Concubine Zhou is causing chaos in the court." She leaned in his arms and laughed at what she said.
Zhou Yi held her waist and said, "Okay, I'll wait until you're done. I'll contact Auntie to see when lunch will be delivered."
"What are we having for dinner today?"
"We have your favorite boiled prawns." He tidied up the loose hair that fell on Zhou Yunyu's face.
"Yeah!"
-
Zhou Yunyu finally met Xu An, her childhood friend. However, they didn't meet him at a family gathering or something more private, but at a technology symposium.
The symposium included leaders from various industries and executives from leading companies, and the Zhou Group happened to be located together with Xu An's company.
When Zhou Yi returned to the symposium with a cup of water, he saw Zhou Yunyu chatting with a man of similar age. Although he had never seen him before, Zhou Yi knew that this man was Xu An, who looked like a young talent.
"Mr. Zhou, your water." The weather has been too cold recently, and the mineral water is a bit too cold. Zhou Yunyu's stomach would feel uncomfortable if he drank cold water, so Zhou Yi went to help Zhou Yunyu get a cup of hot water.
"Thank you." When Zhou Yunyu took the cup, she deliberately pinched the tip of Zhou Yi's index finger with her fingers.
Zhou Yi had become accustomed to her deliberate mischievous actions in public, so he just smiled and said nothing more.
Zhou Yi would follow Zhou Yunyu in any activities because he also had the obligation to protect her, so except when going to the bathroom, Zhou Yi must see Zhou Yunyu in his sight.
Apart from his position, he is also a well-known figure in the industry and was also a guest at the symposium.
Zhou Yi sat on the left side of Zhou Yunyu.
"Is he your assistant?" Xu An saw Zhou Yi holding the water and sitting next to her with extra caution, and asked directly subconsciously.
Zhou Yunyu glanced back at Zhou Yi, then suddenly leaned towards him, pressing their faces together, and jokingly said, "My brother, do you look alike?"
The higher up the rankings, the more they seemed to believe that Zhou Yi was her half-brother.
Even though the parents of Zhou Yi's fake human identity were other people, people always love gossip, so she doesn't care what outsiders say.
Only those who are closer to her know that Zhou Yi is definitely not her father's illegitimate son. After all, they all know that her father would never dare to do such a thing.
Xu An looked at her in shock for a moment, then smiled.
He hadn't seen Zhou Yunyu for a long time, but he learned that both of them were guests at the symposium and came in the name of the company. They added each other's contact information and chatted about some daily matters a while before the symposium.
His company is related to biotechnology and mainly studies the human brain, so their two companies have very close ties and cooperation, so it is very necessary for him to get to know Zhou Yunyu again.
So the two of them didn't feel strange or awkward when they met today, and Zhou Yunyu's personality seemed to be somewhat the same as before. She looked very serious when working and studying, but she could joke with people she was familiar with. For example, Xu An could now tell that what she said was a joke.
Zhou Yi tilted his head slightly to glance at Zhou Yunyu. Seeing her approaching face, he couldn't help but want to get closer to her. However, Zhou Yunyu then distanced themselves from each other again and waved her hand, "I was just kidding. Haha, he is indeed my chief assistant. Zhou Yi, maybe you've heard of him?"
Xu An nodded and greeted Zhou Yi politely.
Even though he knew Zhou Yunyu and Xu An were just friends, Zhou Yi still had a bad first impression of him. Xu An was someone who knew Zhou Yunyu when she was three or four years old, while he had only seen her when she was eighteen. This bad first impression was probably because he was jealous of his small tolerance.
But Zhou Yi still responded to Xu An with a very polite smile.
Zhou Yunyu could see the fake smile on Zhou Yi's face. She poked Zhou Yi's leg quietly.
"But you two do look a bit alike." Xu An smiled. Many people who look alike have similar eyebrows and eyes, but their eyebrows and eyes are not alike. Instead, the lower half of their faces are somewhat similar. When the facial features are put together, even though the face shapes are different, they do look alike at first glance.
"Maybe it's fate." Zhou Yunyu didn't continue the topic, and the two chatted about work-related matters.
When the symposium officially began, everyone started to sit up straight. Zhou Yunyu glanced at Zhou Yi who was sitting next to her, and just like the day she had dinner with her parents, she secretly hooked her pointed high heels around his leg.
The perception was not that sensitive through the trousers, but when Zhou Yi was touched, he was so sensitive that he straightened his back instantly.
Zhou Yi looked at her with a frown, tacitly agreeing to her teasing him. However, when he turned his head to look at Zhou Yunyu, he could still see Xu An out of the corner of his eye, and he felt inexplicably unhappy.
This dissatisfaction continued until the end of the symposium. Zhou Yunyu was very tired after sitting for a whole day. He dragged his tired body, changed into slippers, and slowly walked to the sofa in the living room, lying on the sofa like a corpse.
Zhou Yi also followed him to the living room. He squatted beside the sofa and asked, "Xiaoyu, does your waist hurt after sitting all day? Do you want a massage tonight?"
She nodded.
Zhou Yi didn't say anything else, just looked at her quietly. Zhou Yunyu felt a little uneasy for some reason, "Why do you keep looking at me? My makeup is smudged."
Zhou Yi slowly shook his head, and before Zhou Yunyu could react, he lowered his head and kissed her. Seeing that Zhou Yunyu was a little confused by his action, Zhou Yi smiled and lowered his head and kissed her again. The light kiss like a dragonfly touching the water gradually turned into a sticky and ambiguous deep kiss.
"Why did you kiss me suddenly?" Zhou Yunyu was still a little dizzy.
"I want to kiss you. I want to kiss you. I am yours, and you can only have me."
Zhou Yunyu reacted quickly this time. Zhou Yi has been like this since he met Xu An.
"Zhou Yi is a stingy person who gets jealous easily."
"I'm just a cheapskate."
"You know, Xu An contacted me again later and asked why he knew we looked alike." Zhou Yunyu interrupted him, turned sideways and touched his hot ear.
Zhou Yi's focus was that Xu An continued to contact Zhou Yunyu. He frowned and his eyes were inevitably sad.
His possessiveness was actually stronger than he imagined, but it was his rationality that prevented him from expressing these dark thoughts over the years.
But Zhou Yi did know that he was resisting in his heart anyone who was suspected of having feelings for her getting close to him.
When Zhou Yunyu was in college, there were people who pursued her. If there hadn't been a man next to her who was suspected to be her boyfriend, those who wanted to pursue her would probably have pursued her more enthusiastically.
At that time, Zhou Yi's role was to protect her from romantic interests. It just so happened that Zhou Yi's life revolved around her, and the two of them created the illusion that they were a couple, avoiding a lot of unnecessary trouble for each other.
But now that Zhou Yi has become Zhou Yunyu's peach blossom, he still cannot reveal his identity openly.
"Aren't you curious about what Xu An said to me?"
Zhou Yi turned his head away, "Not curious."
"I don't care, I'm going to tell you." Zhou Yunyu propped herself up and leaned close to his ear and said, "He said, so we look like a couple."
Zhou Yi was stunned and forgot to blink. After a moment, he blinked uncomfortably, "How did he know..."
"I don't know. Maybe he is too smart. After all, he is a scientist who studies the human brain." Zhou Yunyu looked at Zhou Yi's secretly happy expression and couldn't help laughing.
Zhou Yi hugged her and kissed her again, and suddenly felt that he didn't hate Xu An anymore.
