Chapter 33 Gemstones "I think you are the sweet one."
"Are you a kitten stepping on milk?" Yu Jingmo grabbed Tian Ruan by the back of the collar and lifted the troublesome young man away from him.
Tian Ruan stood up straight, with a face full of shame: "My legs are numb."
Yu Jingmo straightened his messed up clothes, stood up and walked towards the master bedroom bathroom, "I'm going to take a shower, you order breakfast."
Tian Ruan picked up the tablet and contacted the hotel butler to order food.
After putting the tablet down, he still had a feeling that it was unreal. Yu Jingmo really came back early just to keep him by her side... No, this was surveillance.
Tian Ruan opened the curtains and took a deep breath of the fresh, cool air outside the window. The lush evergreen vegetation was full of vitality under the golden sunlight in the early morning.
The hotel's front yard is not big, but the backyard is extremely spacious. A grove of maple trees isolates the hotel from the hustle and bustle of the city, and there is also a garden with winding streams for people to enjoy.
A black and blue figure ran by. It was Yu Shang who was jogging. Because of his internship, he stayed directly in the hotel.
Tian Ruan didn't call anyone. There were still many guests who were not awake at this time, and he couldn't disturb others.
He took a photo and sent it to Lu Qiuyan.
Lu Qiuyan replied quickly:?
Tian Ruan: Yu Shang is running, are you here?
Lu Qiuyan: Take the bus, we’ll be there soon.
Tian Ruan: [Oh yeah.jpg]
Lu Qiuyan: What do you want to do?
Tian Ruan: I don’t have any idea what to do.
Lu Qiuyan: Then why are you being cute?
Tian Ruan: ...I can’t even send emoticons?
Lu Qiuyan: No.
Tian Ruan was convinced. What kind of iron-clad protagonist is this? Even sending an emoticon seems cute.
A cold fragrance suddenly hits her, and Tian Ruan suspects that she has turned into a dog's nose. She can smell Yu Jingmo's scent from a long distance...
He turned around and saw, as expected, a man wrapped in a snow-white velvet bathrobe. He was tall and had long legs. The bathrobe of the same size reached to Tian Ruan's calves, and was so wide that it looked like a sack.
When it came to Yu Jingmo, it just fit him perfectly, barely reaching his knees, with tight calves and big feet that were almost size 50...
Perhaps Tian Ruan's gaze was too obvious, Yu Jingmo paused: "What are you looking at?"
Tian Ruan told the truth: "Mr. Yu, your feet are so big."
Yu Jingmo: "I'm big everywhere."
Tian Ruan looked upwards and saw a bulge as expected. To be so majestic in velvet, he was truly gifted, worthy of being the father of the protagonist...
As he was thinking this, the pair of long legs appeared before his eyes. Tian Ruan looked up in confusion, his eyes suddenly widened - the pectoral muscles, collarbone, neck, and sharp chin line were so close, the lips were neither thin nor thick, as graceful as a bow, and the nose bridge was as straight as a mountain.
It was not until he met those cold and deep eyes that Tian Ruan realized how presumptuous his eyes were.
"Have you seen enough?" Yu Jingmo's Adam's apple moved, and the vibration of his vocal cords caused his chest to tremble slightly, like a cold-tune cello.
Tian Ruan: “…”
"Answer." Yu Jingmo ordered.
Tian Ruan couldn't resist the order and said, "No."
After saying that, he lowered his head, and then saw the bulge again, "..."
Yu Jingmo laughed angrily. The young man's performance was really unconcealed, but he could also see that Tian Ruan's eyes were very clear. Yu Jingmo took out the sandalwood beads from his pocket, pulled Tian Ruan's right hand and put them on him.
The small jade plate set off the delicate skin of Tian Ruan's wrist. The blue veins were very fine and the lines were faint. When Yu Jingmo's thumb brushed against it, he suddenly thought it was silk.
He calmly let go of Tian Ruan's hand and said, "You will wear it from now on."
Tian Ruan nodded, and pointed the whorl of hair on her head at Yu Jingmo, with a faint red color showing through the tips of her ears.
At just the right moment, the doorbell rang and the hotel butler stood respectfully outside the door, with two food delivery robots beside him.
Yu Jingmo said "Come in". The hotel housekeeper held a vase with fresh roses and bowed to Yu Jingmo. Then he placed the flowers on the dining table, set breakfast, and came out with a professional smile and said, "Mr. Yu, Mrs. Yu, this morning's dishes include crystal soup dumplings, French oysters, and salmon sashimi. Enjoy your meal. If you have any other instructions, just let me know."
Tian Ruan: "? I ordered Shengjian."
Hotel housekeeper: "Yes, there are also roujiamo that our chef just made."
Yu Jingmo: “Yeah.”
The hotel housekeeper tactfully left so as not to disturb the couple while they were eating.
It was a rare occasion that Yu Jingmo was not particular about style. He went to have breakfast in a bathrobe. He sat in the main seat while Tian Ruan sat next to him and took small bites of his meat-filled steamed bun.
"Is it delicious?" Yu Jingmo asked.
Tian Ruan nodded. "It's delicious. It reminds me of the roujiamo stand outside the high school."
"Is there a place selling roujiamo in front of Deyin?"
“…I mean before.”
"Yeah." Yu Jingmo used silver tableware and dined elegantly.
Anyway, Tian Ruan couldn't understand the nobility of eating seafood early in the morning. Is it because oysters can enhance sexual performance? No wonder Yu Jingmo has endless energy...
As it turned out, Yu Jingmo was not only energetic, but also had a tight schedule.
As soon as he finished his meal, he called his assistant and personal secretary over, and then went to the cloakroom to change his clothes.
By the time the assistant secretaries arrived and Yu Jingmo had changed his clothes, Tian Ruan passed by the cloakroom and took a look. The place where Yu Jingmo had been was unusually messy. A mountain of clothes was piled on the sofa, various watches were placed in a haphazard manner, and ties were hung on the backrest.
Tian Ruan looked at Yu Jingmo, who was wearing a high-end iron-gray suit. Everything from his hair to his leather shoes was meticulous. She didn't expect that he had such a down-to-earth side.
The personal secretary Xiao Ke is a girl wearing black-framed glasses. She looks like she just graduated from college and was very nervous when she saw Yu Jingmo. But he worked very seriously and sorted things out, and in no time he restored the messy cloakroom to its original state.
Annie also came, holding the paper documents and taking the time to hand over them to Yu Jingmo in person.
Together with Assistant Xu, they held a ten-minute morning meeting in the living room.
Tian Ruan didn't dare to get close, for fear of disturbing them...
"Madam..." Xiao Ke called like a mosquito.
Tian Ruan didn't hear it, and was startled when he turned around and saw it, "What's the matter?"
“That…that…”
"What?"
"Your underwear is not dry on the balcony. Do you want to take it away?" Xiao Ke blushed.
"Ah? I didn't do it... I won't accept it."
"Okay. I've packed up everything else, please count it."
When Tian Ruan entered the master bedroom, he saw that his things were neatly put away on the bed, even the power bank and the tablet were sorted into different categories. But he didn't have much stuff to begin with, so this much was enough to fill a backpack.
"Not less, thank you." Tian Ruan said.
Xiao Ke said in a relaxed tone: "Okay."
Tian Ruan suddenly saw a small black velvet box, about the size of a palm, "What is this?"
Xiao Ke: "I don't know, I saw it at your bedside."
"?" Tian Ruan picked up the box and was about to open it. Wait, this thing of unknown origin, could there be a hidden weapon inside?
You can't blame him for thinking too much. As a melodramatic BL novel, there shouldn't be too many melodramatic incidents in it. For example, the cannon fodder who coveted the protagonist became a eunuch, a cannon fodder went to steal the seal of the rival company in a business war and ended up breaking his leg, and another cannon fodder bought fake ginseng for petty gains and ended up being poisoned to death...
So, in this world, anything can happen.
Tian Ruan trembled.
Xiao Ke followed suit and said, "Madam, what's wrong with you? Are you sick?"
Tian Ruan: “…No.”
He pretended to be calm and said, "Do you think there is a bomb in this black box?"
Xiao Ke was immediately frightened. "Bomb? I'm only 25 years old. Am I going to die?"
Tian Ruan held the box in both hands and moved towards the door step by step. "Don't be afraid, I will go ask my husband."
"Yeah, yeah!" Xiao Ke watched him go with tears in his eyes.
Although Tian Ruan was nervous, he was not afraid because Yu Jingmo was here. In the original book, Yu Jingmo was Yu Shang's biggest golden finger. Without Yu Jingmo, there would be no successful future for Yu Shang.
So he speculated that even if it was a bomb, it was a dud.
"Mr. Yu." Tian Ruan carefully held the box over.
At this time, the morning meeting was over. Annie was about to get up and say goodbye. Seeing Tian Ruan's strange behavior, she couldn't help but stop and asked, "Madam, what's wrong?"
Tian Ruan stood one meter away from Yu Jingmo and said seriously, "I suspect this is a bomb."
“…”
Yu Jingmo: "Bomb?"
Assistant Xu suppressed a smile: "Madam, this is a gift that Mr. Yu bought for you in Africa."
Tian Ruan was stunned.
Yu Jingmo said helplessly: "Open it and take a look."
Tian Ruan carefully opened the velvet box, and was immediately blinded by the light inside, which turned out to be a ruby the size of a pigeon egg.
The gemstone is as pure as agate and as transparent as a rose. It is cut into polygons and shines brightly against the black velvet.
Tian Ruan picked up the gem in disbelief and looked at it again and again in front of his eyes. "Is it for me?"
Yu Jingmo hummed.
“Isn’t it expensive?”
“The ones in Africa are cheaper, a few million.”
“…”Several million is still cheap? ?
Assistant Xu said enviously, "A gem like this would cost at least 10 million in China. It is also priceless and there are very few gems this big."
Tian Ruan was shocked. "It's so valuable? I dare not accept it."
Yu Jingmo: "You dare to marry me, but you don't dare to accept a gem?"
“……”That makes sense.
Tian Ruan suddenly curled up the corners of his lips, and his eyes also curved, "Then what you give me is mine?"
Yu Jingmo looked at the pure joy on the handsome young man's face and his mood improved: "What I give to you is yours."
Anne, standing by, had a blank expression on her face as she watched her boss and his wife show their affection, but she felt sour from her gums to her stomach, and shook off the goose bumps on her arms: "It must be fake."
After this voice was spoken, the surroundings became quiet.
Annie: “…”
Assistant Xu smiled and tried to smooth things over: "How could it be fake? Mr. Yu's love for his wife is such that the heavens and the earth can testify to it, and it shocks the heavens and the earth, and even if the mountains are gone and the heavens and the earth are united, I will never break up with you..."
Yu Jingmo drove them away: "All of you get out."
Assistant Xu took Annie away and winked at Xiao Ke, "Okay, then we won't disturb Mr. and Mrs. Yu's world of two."
After the strangers left, the huge suite became quiet again.
Tian Ruan held the gem and asked, "Is this fake?"
Yu Jingmo: "You can tell if it's fake by just licking it. Fake ones will taste sweet."
Upon hearing this, Tian Ruan really brought the gem to his lips and licked it, savoring it carefully. "It's not sweet, really."
Yu Jingmo laughed and said, "I believe this."
“…”
Yu Jingmo looked at him, his tone meaningful: "I think you are the sweet one."
Tian Ruan was teased so much that her brain went blank and she couldn't investigate further.
Yu Jingmo raised his hand and glanced at his watch. "There are still forty minutes before the ticket check. Do you have anything to bring? Homework?"
Tian Ruan put away the gem and said, "I have finished my homework."
Yu Jingmo raised his eyebrows slightly, "So fast, worthy of being the second place."
"Where are we going next?"
"Los Angeles."
"I don't seem to have a passport."
"I've got you a temporary one. It's enough for the round trip."
"I don't have anything to bring."
"Let's go." Yu Jingmo stood up.
Tian Ruan went to the bedroom to pick up his backpack. When he came out, he caught a glimpse of his half-dry underwear on the balcony. It would be too embarrassing to leave it hanging like that, so he quickly ran to pick it up and put it in the side pocket of his backpack.
The two of them went down in their own dedicated elevator.
The VIP elevator hall was seldom visited, and two teenagers were arguing inside.
"...Can't I find another job with paid leave?" Lu Qiuyan asked impatiently, "What's the logic?"
Yu Shang: “No.”
"Why?"
"I am your boss for now."
"The boss can be so lenient? This is capitalism, which goes against our national conditions."
"..." Yu Shang said, "Anyway, it's not possible."
The elevator dinged and opened. Lu Qiuyan immediately pushed Yu Shang away. He was not as tall as Yu Shang, but he was very strong. Yu Shang was pushed aside and subconsciously grabbed Lu Qiuyan's hand.
This scene happened to be seen by Yu Jingmo and Tian Ruan who were walking out.
Tian Ruan: “…” Oh my god!
