Chapter 165 Teacher Yan, aren't you afraid of upsetting the old man so much that he'll have a stroke?
Lin Yiyao looked at the agreement, then looked at Su Ruan.
The Su Ruan before me was bright and confident, with undisguised ambition and sincerity in her eyes.
The feeling of being entrusted with a great responsibility was like a beam of strong light shining into her long-closed world.
My heart was pounding, and my blood was burning.
She took a deep breath, closed the folder, and when she looked up, her eyes were no longer hesitant, but only resolute.
How long will it take me to familiarize myself with the business?
Su Ruan smiled and picked up her coffee cup.
"Let's begin now."
Lin Yiyao picked up the pen, asked no more questions, and neatly signed her name at the signature area.
The brushstrokes are powerful, sweeping away the previous gentleness.
Su Ruan watched her sign, a hint of admiration flashing in her eyes.
"Welcome to the team."
Lin Yiyao put down her pen, reached out her hand, and gently shook hands with Su Ruan.
"Please guide me in the future, Mr. Su."
The sunlight was perfect, falling on their clasped hands as they reached a consensus, illuminating the new expectations in each other's eyes.
Signing Lin Yiyao was a huge relief for Su Ruan.
With strong support, SoftVoice was able to extricate herself from tedious management.
The next two weeks were peaceful and uneventful, yet filled with sweet romance.
As he had predicted, Yan Tingnan found himself completely idle.
There was much discussion outside, with many saying that Master Yan had been seduced by beauty and had abandoned his post.
He seemed oblivious to the noise and settled comfortably at home, becoming a leisurely person.
Only Su Ruan knew that this man was not one to sit idle.
He maintained a regular schedule, but moved his study back home to handle core matters remotely.
Life suddenly slowed down.
He goes to the gym in the morning, and she sometimes stays in bed too long, so he pulls her out of bed to have breakfast with him.
In the morning, he would read books or handle urgent matters that could be decided online, while she would curl up on the sofa next to him to watch anime or attend online meetings.
He would take her out when the afternoon sun was shining.
They kept a low profile, just like any other couple, watching a movie and visiting an art museum.
Or you could simply drive to the suburbs and find a quiet forest to take a walk.
Occasionally, I would stay home with her and play video games with a controller. When she lost badly, she would bite his wrist.
He let her fuss until she had bitten him enough, then he pulled her over and kissed her until she begged for mercy.
They took a walk hand in hand in the evening, and he patiently listened to her rambling about the trivial matters of the studio, occasionally offering a suggestion that hit the nail on the head.
He is full of energy at night.
He poured all the energy he used to torment his subordinates onto her.
Intimacy became a daily routine for him; he was extremely studious and inexhaustible in his exploration.
The days and nights are long, and they are always spent in various corners.
From the kitchen to that cold, hard wooden table in the study.
He always found a way to pull her away from work and drag her into his gentle trap.
She scolded him for becoming increasingly outrageous.
He bit her earlobe with a self-righteous air.
In the past two weeks, the imported mattress in my bedroom has finally retired.
The reason is simple: the anti-corrosion layer softened, and the springs stopped working.
The next day, Teacher Yan changed to a more earthquake-resistant one.
Su Ruan watched the workers carry away the old mattress, her ears burning.
Yan Tingnan wrapped his arms around her from behind, resting his chin on the top of her head, his tone serious.
"As it turns out, even the best waterproof mattress can't withstand a soft mattress..."
Su Ruan elbowed him in the stomach, but he laughed and tightened his arm around her.
"Blame me?"
He kissed her earlobe, his breath hot.
"Who told you to..."
The last few words were whispered close to her ear.
Su Ruan covered his mouth with her hand, her ears turning bright red.
"Shut up!"
He chuckled softly, his lips deliberately brushing against her palm.
Su Ruan pulled her hand back as if she had been electrocuted, but he took the opportunity to pull her waist and press her into the sofa.
After playing around for a while, Su Ruan leaned against him and remembered the important matter.
"Is there really no word from the old man's side?"
"If you don't go to the company for half a month, can he tolerate that?"
The two weeks of peace were like the calm before a storm.
It's too quiet; something's definitely up to no good.
Yan Tingnan closed his eyes to rest, his palm occasionally stroking her back.
"What's the rush?"
"He's more anxious than we are."
"When enough mines are buried, they will naturally explode when the time is right."
Su Ruan raised an eyebrow.
"So confident?"
"What kind of landmine did you plant that could make the old man bow his head?"
He lifted his eyelids, looked down at her, and a dark light flickered in his eyes.
"Ruanruan, let me teach you a lesson. A true hunter never chases after his prey."
"Instead, it leaves the prey with nowhere to go but to run into your gun."
"The ship Qingyan looks stable, but there are quite a few hidden reefs underneath."
"Several core projects worth tens of billions of yuan are stuck at critical junctures."
"I am the only one who holds the actual control key, and the process has reached a critical point in the last two days."
"The chain reaction is something that no one but me can break."
His tone was flat, but a cold smile flickered in his eyes.
“I have been in charge of Qingyan for twelve years, and its foundation is far beyond what he can eradicate with just a few words.”
"The old man knows better than anyone that forcibly seizing power will only cripple the Yan family's decades-old foundation."
“He’s waiting, waiting for me to break down so I can beg him.”
“I’m waiting too, waiting for him to give up and come to me.”
Su Ruan's heart skipped a beat.
This man always has a backup plan.
Take one step, and you'll see a hundred steps ahead.
"So you've been deliberately ignoring him for the past two weeks?"
Not entirely.
He lowered his head, his nose brushing against her cheek.
"I mainly want to spend more time with my daughter, Ruanruan."
"By the way, let's wait for the thunder to explode."
Just as she was about to speak, Yan Tingnan's phone, which was on the bedside table, rang.
The screen lights up, displaying the incoming call.
Yan Hongyi.
Su Ruan's breath hitched.
"Speak of the devil and he shall appear."
Yan Tingnan answered the call and immediately put it on speakerphone.
Yan Hongyi's voice was devoid of emotion, sounding even older than usual.
"We're going back to the old house for dinner tomorrow night."
This isn't a discussion; it's a notification.
But his tone lacked its usual absolute authority and showed a hint of fatigue.
Yan Tingnan remained unmoved.
"What's up?"
"Can't I let you come back if there's nothing wrong?"
Yan Hongyi paused, as if suppressing his anger.
"Take your Miss Su with you."
Yan Tingnan did not answer immediately. He looked down at Su Ruan in his arms.
Su Ruan was also looking at him, her eyes clear and bright, with a hint of anticipation for a good show.
He smiled slightly, and when he spoke again, his tone remained respectful, yet protective.
"Grandpa, she is now my wife, the granddaughter-in-law of the Yan family."
"It's better to be more formal in how you address someone."
There was a few seconds of silence on the other end of the phone, as if they hadn't expected Yan Tingnan to be so particular about this detail.
In the end, Yan Hongyi changed his tune without revealing any emotion in his voice.
"Bring your wife back with you."
"It's just the family having a simple meal."
"good."
Yan Tingnan agreed readily.
"See you tomorrow."
After saying that, he hung up the phone.
A busy signal sounded.
Su Ruan looked up at Yan Tingnan and couldn't help but laugh out loud.
"Teacher Yan, aren't you afraid of upsetting the old man so much that he'll have a stroke?"
He put down his phone and pulled her closer to him.
"I'm furious. It's good that I took over early; it'll save me trouble."
His tone softened.
"Stay close to me tomorrow."
"Don't touch anything he gives you."
"If you don't want to hear what he says, then don't listen."
"I'll take care of everything."
Su Ruan's heart skipped a beat, as if enveloped in warm water.
This man is truly reassuring.
"knew."
She tilted her head back and pecked his thin lips.
"My hero."
