Chapter 37
After a busy month, Ye Yan had gotten used to stealing moments of leisure amidst his hectic schedule.
But as the person with the most power in the company, there are some work arrangements that he cannot refuse, such as business trips, even overseas business trips.
Ye Yan calculated the time; it would take at least a week for him to return.
This means that he won't be able to see Qin Su for a week.
He felt a pang of reluctance, but was too embarrassed to say it directly, so he lingered around Qin Su like a dog circling a bone.
Qin Su felt dizzy from his spinning around and looked up to ask, "We're flying tomorrow morning, why aren't you sleeping?"
Ye Yan stopped and asked indirectly, "What are your plans for tomorrow?"
"Tomorrow?" Qin Su said casually, "I have something to do at the company tomorrow, I need to go there."
Company matters are definitely important, so Ye Yan swallowed back what he was about to say.
He responded with a muffled "Oh."
Qin Su laughed: "What? You want to take me with you on this business trip?"
Ye Yan, having his thoughts exposed, did not deny it: "Why don't you go take a look around while you're at it?"
Qin Su said, "I was already tired of traveling during my studies abroad, why would I want to travel again?"
Ye Yan was a little disappointed: "Okay."
Qin Su pulled him over and kissed him, then said with a grin, "But don't worry, President Ye, I'll miss you."
Ye Yan remained silent, but grabbed Qin Su's waist and kissed her back with a slightly fierce gesture.
Qin Su did not lie to Ye Yan; something did indeed happen at her company.
Ever since she helped those researchers solve a critical technical problem last time, the researchers have become dependent on her, asking her for advice every few days.
For the first three days before Ye Yan went on his business trip, Qin Suquan stayed at the company and worked with the researchers.
On the fourth day, when things were finally relatively quiet, Xiao Xiao asked her to go shopping again.
She hugged Qin Su warmly as soon as they met, thanking him for his advice and help in winning over the race car driver.
"But men are like that, once you get them, they're not all that great," Xiao Xiao said listlessly. "Indeed, the best things in the world are always the ones you don't have."
Qin Su asked curiously, "You've gotten tired of it in less than half a year? Isn't that a bit fast?"
Xiao Xiao stuck out her tongue and made a face: "You can't blame me for this. Men in love are all the same, they're all big pigs."
Qin Su chuckled.
Xiao Xiao added generously, "But I still want to thank Su Su. I'll cover all the food, drinks, and entertainment today. Just come with me."
Fearing that it would be boring for just the two of them, she invited out a few other girls she was close to. They were all quite outgoing and quickly became familiar with Qin Su.
The group shopped at two malls until it got dark, when they all realized their feet were sore and they needed to rest.
Xiao Xiao had booked a rooftop restaurant long ago, located in the city's largest shopping mall, renowned for its stunning nighttime views.
The restaurant is located on the 66th floor of the building, and you can overlook half of the city from the window.
The stars in the sky and the lights on the ground complement each other, making for an excellent backdrop for photos.
Girls always like to take pictures when they get together, and the group took a bunch of beautiful photos.
Qin Su calculated the time difference and figured it should be noon for Ye Yan, so she sent him a selfie. Before Ye Yan could reply, Xiao Xiao suddenly leaned over with her phone.
She said happily, "Su Su, look! Dingxin has a new feature: when you make a fireworks emoji, fireworks appear on the screen. It's so much fun!"
She sent the message to Qin Su several times, and sure enough, a fireworks effect appeared on Qin Su's chat page.
Several other girls gathered around curiously after hearing this.
"What what?"
"let me see."
"Wow, this is so pretty, I'm going to send it to my friend."
Everyone immediately updated the software, trying out various ways to use the emojis, laughing and joking around.
Qin Su's phone pinged, indicating a new message had arrived.
Ye Yan: [Good-looking]
Qin Su raised an eyebrow and deliberately said, "I thought you were taking so long to reply because you were thinking of how to praise me, but it turns out you only had two words."
Ye Yan: [I'm doing this]
He sent a screenshot, which was his phone's screen saver wallpaper, which had been changed to the photo Qin Su had just sent him.
Qin Su smiled: [You pass.]
Upon seeing this sentence, Ye Yan could almost picture her proud and adorable expression, and couldn't help but smile.
Ding Bo sat opposite him, unsurprised that Ye Yan would play on his phone while eating.
After all, as Ye Yan's senior assistant, he had witnessed too many times Ye Yan issuing schedules, taking photos for reporting, and using precious time for boring conversations, among other things.
They say love makes people stupid, and it turns out marriage is the same.
Ding Bo secretly complained to himself that the two of them were very respectful to each other when they first got married, but now that they've been married for so long, they're inseparable.
What's this called? Marriage of convenience followed by love?
Mr. Ye is quite fashionable.
Qin Su sent Ye Yan a new message.
It's a firework emoji.
Qin Su: [New Dingxin Feature]
Qin Su: [Let's watch the fireworks]
As Ye Yan watched the flowers suddenly bloom on the screen, the curve of his lips involuntarily became even more pronounced.
Since he got used to chatting with Qin Su via Dingxin, he had also become familiar with these things and replied with the same fireworks emoji.
Ye Yan: [Let's watch together]
Qin Su: [Rose emoji]
Qin Su: [Look, there are twinkling stars around this rose.]
Ye Yan's smile deepened as he stroked Qin Su's rose emoji with his finger.
Ye Yan: [Are you eating out?]
Qin Su: [Location Address Sharing]
Qin Su: [Having dinner with Xiao Xiao here]
Ye Yan: [Photo jpg]
Ye Yan: [I'm eating too, with Ding Bo]
Qin Su: [There are so many dishes, I'd like to eat with you too.]
Ye Yan was taken aback.
Although he knew in his heart that Qin Su was probably just teasing him, he hadn't actually seen or met Qin Su for three days, and his longing for her was overwhelming.
He tapped the table with his fingers, trying to hold back, but couldn't.
Ye Yan: [Missing you]
He regretted it as soon as he sent it and immediately clicked to retract the message.
Qin Su: [I saw it]
Qin Su: [Send it again]
Ye Yan: [。]
Qin Su: [Send it again]
Qin Su: [I'll give you three seconds]
Qin Su: [Otherwise I'll be unhappy]
Ye Yan: [。]
Ye Yan: [Missing you]
Two seconds later, Qin Su replied to him.
Qin Su: [Those who tell the truth will receive a reward kiss.]
Qin Su: [Me too]
Just as Ding Bo picked up a piece of steak with his fork, Ye Yan, who was engrossed in playing on his phone, suddenly stood up.
He was so startled that his hand trembled, and the steak fell back onto the plate.
"Mr. Ye?"
Has something major happened at the company?
Seeing his surprised expression, Ye Yan closed his eyes briefly and sat back down.
His gaze lingered on the last three words Qin Su had sent, and he finally understood what it meant to be eager to return home and what it meant for each day to feel like a year.
At this rate, it will take another four days before I can see Qin Su.
It's been too long, really too long.
Ye Yan was lost in thought for a few minutes, and then called out to Ding Bo.
"Go and arrange something for me now."
...
After Qin Su sent Ye Yan "Me too", seeing that Ye Yan did not reply, she pushed her phone aside and started talking to Xiao Xiao and the others.
Everyone gathered around, eating and chatting, so the mealtime inevitably took a while.
It took almost another hour to finish the meal. Then I started touching up my makeup and packing my things to leave.
Just then, a loud "bang" came from outside the window.
Hearing the sound, everyone looked over and saw a huge firework suddenly rise up, blooming brilliantly in the night sky.
