Chapter 45 Did you have a fight with the eldest master?
Jin Yu was indeed very busy. She worked overtime with everyone until ten o'clock, and then treated everyone to a midnight snack. Then she went back to the manor with Wen Chuyue. After all the trouble, it was already eleven o'clock when she returned to the manor.
When she was working outside, she was able to control herself freely, but when she returned to the Meng family, she became timid and cautious.
She didn't even dare to put on her shoes when she entered the bedroom.
After all, it was very late.
If nothing unexpected happens, Meng Jinyan's bedtime is 10:30 at night, and now it's already 11 o'clock.
Jin Yu didn't turn on the light and tiptoed towards the cloakroom. She even thought that he might have gone to bed by now.
However, at this moment, a low and unhappy male voice suddenly came from the sofa, "Those who know you would think you went to work, and those who don't would think you went out to steal in the middle of the night."
The sudden words frightened Jin Yu's already beating heart so much that it suddenly stopped beating.
The next second, she pursed her lips awkwardly.
Look towards the sofa.
He hasn't fully recovered yet and even stutters when he speaks.
"You...why haven't you slept yet?"
The man glared at her coldly and asked instead, "Then why did you come back so late?"
Although Jin Yu couldn't see his expression clearly in the dark, she could tell from his cold question that he was very unhappy.
"I was working overtime and lost track of time."
As she finished speaking, the man stood up with a loud "pop" and the room was bright. Just as she had expected, his expression was indeed very ugly. His deep, dark eyes staring at her were cold, sharp, and extremely oppressive.
Then she noticed that he had not showered and was still wearing the same black shirt he had worn to work that morning.
She was nervous, clutching the hem of her clothes and asked in a low voice:
"Why haven't you showered yet?"
The man didn't give her a good look, "It's none of your business."
After saying this, he didn't even look at her, went straight into the cloakroom, and then went into the bathroom with his pajamas.
The whole time, he treated her as air.
Jin Yu watched him pass by her and blinked blankly. Actually, she wanted to ask, "Are you waiting for me?", but seeing that he had a bad face and didn't seem to want to communicate, she had to hold the words back.
When he came out of the shower, she tried her best to reduce her presence. When she went to the cloakroom with her clothes, she walked very carefully, for fear of making any noise and displeased him.
But because of her behavior, Meng Jinyan became even more unhappy.
Are you deliberately ignoring him?
When Jin Yu came out of the shower, Meng Jinyan was still sitting on the sofa. The man folded his hands, stared at her, and said coldly: "Starting tomorrow, you will bring back all your shifts at night. If you work overtime as late as tonight again, you don't have to work this shift. If you really want to work, come with me to the company. I will watch you and you can work as long as you want."
These words are more like a warning than a reminder.
Jin Yu unconsciously clenched the towel in his hand.
She moved her lips and explained seriously: "Tonight's situation is special. It won't be like this tomorrow."
The man sneered, "You better be."
Because of his warning, Jin Yu became careless about taking care of her skin while sitting in front of the dressing table.
The Meng Jinyan from two days ago seemed like something she had imagined, but the domineering him now was the real him.
After taking care of her skin, she got up and went to the bed, but when she lifted the quilt, she found that the man was still sitting on the sofa with his hands folded, not saying a word. She didn't know who had provoked him.
Jin Yu gripped the quilt tighter.
Oh, it could be her.
Looking in his direction, I finally asked with concern.
"Aren't you going to bed yet?"
Hearing this, the man glanced at her indifferently, then slowly stood up and walked towards her in his gray pajamas.
Just when Jin Yu was wondering why he didn't go into the cloakroom to get the quilt, the man stood on the other side of the bed and lifted the quilt without hesitation. This time, Jin Yu looked hesitant and surprised, and almost stuttered to ask: "Are you... going to sleep on the bed tonight?"
As soon as he finished asking, the man's hand that was lifting the quilt froze. The next second, he stared at her coldly. Unlike the indifference just now, he was really furious now. He almost gritted his teeth and asked:
"What did you say?"
Jin Yu shuddered and didn't dare to repeat it.
After putting down the quilt gently, she walked towards the cloakroom. Not daring to look him in the eye, she said as she walked, "Then you sleep on the bed. I'll sleep on the floor from now on."
She had said this much, there was nothing Meng Jinyan could not understand. It was clear that what she had just said was not an invitation to him to sleep in the same bed, but simply asking him why he didn't sleep.
Thinking of this, his face turned dark.
The next second, before Jin Yu left the area, he said coldly, "Stop, go back to bed and sleep."
After saying that, he walked towards the cloakroom.
Then, without saying a word, he threw the quilt onto the carpet.
Finally, he rolled into the quilt.
Looking at the group opposite, Jin Yu was at a loss.
And this feeling of being at a loss lasted for more than a week.
During this week, although the two still ate together and slept in the same room, they no longer had any communication.
She also always remembered his warnings and no longer stayed in the studio to work overtime so late. Even if she had work, she would only take it home and finish it. However, once it was half past ten, he would turn off the lights. Even if she curled up to the floor-to-ceiling window, he would glance at her with an unhappy look, and she would immediately understand what he meant and go back to sleep.
Even Wen Chuyue noticed the strange atmosphere between the two. That day, the two were in a coffee shop across from the CS company. She couldn't help but ask out of curiosity:
"Ah Jin, did you have a fight with the young master? The old lady said that you and the young master haven't sent her any photos in recent times."
Jin Yu took a sip of the mellow coffee, her eyes fixed on the entrance of CS Building outside the window. They came here today mainly to meet Huang Kuang, the project manager of the CS Building renovation.
After staring for a while, she felt a little sleepy.
Hearing Wen Chuyue's question, she shook her head blankly, "I didn't quarrel with him."
As for why no photos were posted during this period, it was because Meng Jinyan would enter the bedroom at a specific time every time, and he would go to bed right after taking a shower, without any intention of paying any attention to her.
He didn't say he wanted to kiss her or take pictures, so she certainly couldn't just rush over and ask for it.
Otherwise, he would definitely misunderstand again.
In order to avoid unnecessary misunderstanding, she did not mention it.
As for whether the two had a quarrel.
What Jin Yu can be sure of is that there isn't one.
They didn't quarrel.
What she was also sure of was that Meng Jinyan was angry with her.
However, as to why he was angry, Jin Yu could only say that she vaguely understood. He seemed not to want to sleep on the floor, but every time she mentioned that they should switch places, she sleeping on the floor and he sleeping on the bed, he would get very angry again.
On this point, Jin Yu really didn't understand his thoughts.
From morning till night, they couldn't reach the yellow frame.
Not only did he fail to catch the enemy, Jin Yu also received a provocative message from Moni, including a photo of her and Huang Kuang dining in a hotel, and a cheap provocative remark - Jin Yu, I advise you to admit defeat as soon as possible. Even if your design plan is good, Manager Huang will not even take a second look at it, because he has already agreed to cooperate with me.
If you say you don't have any mood swings when you see it, that would be a lie.
But she also knows that this is the workplace, and that such intrigues exist in the workplace, and she should be used to it.
So, she quickly sorted out her emotions.
However, just as she was finishing her preparations, the old lady sent her a WeChat message, "Xiao Yu, you and Ah Yan come to my place for dinner tonight. I have something to tell you."
