Nan, the shameless older brother, and Yun Shen, who was eager to be Tong Su's boyfriend, was very happy and eager to personally accompany her to get her textbooks and go to the new classroom.
But he is, after all, a CEO. A CEO isn't a rich second-generation heir who can just lie around counting money; he's very busy with official duties.
Even though he managed to squeeze out half a day to accompany Tongsu to school, he received an anxious call from his subordinate as soon as he reached the bottom of the Academic Affairs Office building.
"Boss, the deal with Zuri Ventures in Europe has run into trouble. It's a complete mess there, and we urgently need your help to handle it—"
The young man paused, like a ferocious wolf disturbed by a daring provocateur; a fleeting, wicked glint crossed his handsome face.
His thin, sharp lips were pressed into a cold line. He gripped his phone in his right hand and held the wheelchair handle in his left. His voice was low and hoarse, like the calm before the storm, gloomy and terrifying.
"If you can't even handle this small matter, what use are you to me?"
The subordinate, his heart heavy with bitterness, spoke tremblingly, "Boss, Zuri's profits have dropped by seven points. They have connections with the British royal family, and they're refusing to budge during negotiations..."
Tong Su couldn't understand what they were talking about regarding business, but she knew that this meant Nan Yun Shen had to leave.
The young man's irritability was obvious, and his brows were furrowed with malice: "Alright, I understand."
He had never shown such a cold expression in front of Tong Su.
The air pressure around them was as low as if they were in a snowy wonderland. When Tong Su looked up, he reached out and pulled her into his arms, her head resting right on his chest and abdomen.
His muscles were firm and hard; even through his clothes, one could vaguely sense the smooth, powerful lines.
Nan Yun Shen has never been afraid of the cold. Even in the dead of winter, he only wears a thin trench coat and a shirt, yet his body remains as warm as a furnace, and the cold wind cannot penetrate his body at all.
Tongsu was different. She was particularly afraid of the cold winter. When the coldest months came, she would wrap herself up like a ball, as if she had offended the sun in her past life. Her hands and feet were icy cold and her body was weak.
Ever since Nan Yun Shen discovered that Tong Su was sensitive to cold, he would hold her in his arms to keep her warm whenever he had free time.
He had always had this habit of hugging and cuddling. At first, Tongsu thought it was too cloying, but after being blown by the cold wind and experiencing the temperature of the big furnace, she shamefully and silently chose to accept it.
Of course, when summer came, she kicked him out without a second thought.
The voice on the other end of the phone was still saying, "Boss, things happened too suddenly, I really have no way to help..."
The gloom on Nan Yun Shen's face had eased considerably after he pulled Tong Su into his arms, but as he heard the increasingly anxious pleas from the other end, his cold and sinister expression grew even more intense: "Useless!"
"Yes, yes, we are useless... But, BOSS, now..."
The person on the other end was hesitant and anxious, as if their eyebrows were on fire, almost begging him to come over.
And they left immediately.
But the more they pleaded, the angrier the young man became, and he was on the verge of exploding. Like a ferocious wolf that had been completely enraged, he was terrifying in the night, his eyes gleaming with icy coldness, sharp and arrogant.
"Idiots! What can you do besides cause trouble? Once this is over, fire every single one of those in charge, without exception! You worthless bastards—"
Tongsu immediately reached out and grasped the handle on his wheelchair, whispering, "Don't get angry. Why are you swearing? Business is important. Go if you need to. Don't worry about me."
Her voice was as clear and gentle as water, soothing his restlessness, while the delicate touch on her hands was like a spring breeze extinguishing a fire, gently yet firmly suppressing the flames.
