Chapter 33 The Double Standards of President Yan
Su Ruan chuckled softly, her tone tinged with nonchalant mockery.
"mind?"
"Why should I care?"
"Do whatever you want, have fun, just don't bother me."
Upon hearing this, Yan Yunye's throat tightened, and he felt a painful emptiness in his heart.
In the past, she would get furious if he even glanced at Wen Wanwan.
How can I now smile and wish them a good time?
Wen Wanwan's smile froze for a moment.
Su Ruan's reaction was completely out of character.
Su Ruan's nonchalant attitude was more glaring than any reaction she had expected.
"Siyue is gone."
Su Ruan pulled Huo Siyue around.
Yan Yunye stood there, watching the sea breeze lift the hem of her light green dress, like a cloud that could not be grasped.
He felt a tightness in his chest.
Those cheap attempts at flattery that he once scorned have now become thorns stuck in his heart, impossible to remove or forget.
...
As you walk to the pier, several white yachts are moored in the clear bay.
Huo Siyue suddenly nudged Su Ruan's arm.
"Sis! Did you find a surprise?"
"Those people in the administration department are really good at getting things done!"
"Found it."
Su Ruan responded lazily.
"Your brother made me sleep on the sofa."
"Pfft, sleeping on the sofa?!"
Huo Siyue frowned.
"Is that huge bed just for show?"
"But don't panic, it's only a few steps from the sofa to the bed!"
"If all else fails, the sofa will do, it'll be even more exciting."
Su Ruan was amused by her and was about to speak when she caught a glimpse of a tall figure walking towards the beach out of the corner of her eye.
Yan Tingnan changed into casual clothes, with the sleeves of her light gray linen shirt rolled up to her elbows.
The sunlight fell on him, softening his coldness.
At this moment, several small yachts were ready, and colleagues were excitedly boarding them in groups.
Yan Yunye and Wen Wanwan stood beside a yacht. Wen Wanwan was looking up at Yan Yunye and saying something, her smile exceptionally gentle.
Yan Yunye seemed somewhat absent-minded, his gaze occasionally drifting towards Su Ruan's direction.
As soon as Yan Tingnan appeared, the previously playful crowd unconsciously quieted down a bit.
Wen Wanwan's gaze was involuntarily drawn to Yan Tingnan.
"President Yan!"
The head of the administration department quickly went to greet him.
Yan Tingnan nodded slightly, his gaze sweeping over the crowd, landing on Su Ruan for a moment before shifting away indifferently.
"Is everyone here?"
"It's all here!"
Huo Siyue immediately stepped forward to speak, her eyes darting around as she began to stir things up.
"Manager Yan brought an extra friend, adding another one would definitely make it crowded."
She pushed Su Ruan forward.
"How about this, Mr. Yan, your yacht is big, how about giving a capable subordinate a ride along?"
"Su Ruan can even serve you tea and water!"
The scene fell silent instantly.
All eyes turned to them.
Yan Tingnan's private yacht? That's not something ordinary employees can access.
Huo Siyue's suggestion was bold and abrupt.
Before Yan Tingnan could speak, Wen Wanwan stepped forward first.
"Isn't this arrangement a bit inappropriate?"
"Yunye and Ruanruan have been boyfriend and girlfriend for many years."
Her voice was soft and clear, reaching everyone's ears clearly.
"Although there may be some minor misunderstandings now, it is already very inappropriate for an outsider like me to be caught in the middle."
She gently bit her lip, looking considerate and thoughtful.
"How about I travel with President Yan? I happen to have some questions for President Yan regarding a collaboration with an art foundation."
As soon as she finished speaking, the air went silent.
Immediately, the crowd erupted in chaos!
Dozens of eyes scanned Su Ruan, Yan Yunye, and Wen Wanwan frantically, the amount of information was overwhelming!
Did Yan Yunye and Su Ruan have a past relationship?
Huo Siyue was so shocked that her jaw almost dropped. She tugged at Su Ruan's sleeve and lowered her voice.
Holy crap! It's Su Daji!
"You and Yan Yunye?? When did this happen?!"
Wen Wanwan's words put Su Ruan in the eye of the storm!
She curled her lips into a smile, waiting to see Su Ruan lose her composure.
Yan Yunye was caught off guard by this sudden official announcement.
He wanted to deny it, but was held back by some secret expectation, and was speechless for a moment.
His gaze was fixed on Su Ruan, his expression complex.
Su Ruan suddenly laughed, breaking the awkward atmosphere.
"Ms. Wen, you are right. Although Manager Yan and I are high school classmates, our cooperation is limited to company projects."
Su Ruan's voice was clear and bright, with a hint of teasing.
Before Wen Wanwan could retort, Su Ruan abruptly changed the subject, directly attacking Wen Wanwan.
"Unlike you two, you've done everything you should and shouldn't have done."
"Who in the industry doesn't know that Manager Yan is deeply devoted to Miss Wen and protects her like the apple of his eye?"
"The property rights have long been clearly defined."
"You two young lovers having a tantrum and playing some kind of sex game, what's with pinning it on me?"
"Miss Wen, if you want to consult with President Yan, please don't use me as a prop."
The onlookers stared wide-eyed, holding their breath, afraid of missing a single detail.
The air was thick with the excitement and suffocating feeling of a massive, dramatic spectacle.
With just a few words, Su Ruan reversed the situation, instantly putting Wen Wanwan in a very difficult position.
Wen Wanwan's face turned deathly pale, as if her bones had been removed.
Su Ruan's counterattack caught her completely off guard.
Wen Wanwan's eyes instantly reddened, tears welling up but not falling.
"you……!"
She instinctively wanted to retort, but the words got stuck in her throat, and she couldn't squeeze out a single one.
As if she had suffered a great injustice, she subconsciously leaned closer to Yan Yunye.
Yan Yunye subconsciously reached out to help her, but as soon as his fingers moved, his gaze met Su Ruan's almond-shaped eyes that were watching the show.
An indescribable sense of irritation suddenly surged to the top of his head, and his hand froze in mid-air before finally falling.
The scene was so awkward it could have been carved out of a seaside villa.
That's enough.
A cold voice broke the deadlock.
"Company team building is not an emotional mediation session."
His gaze swept across the entire room, his imposing aura spreading silently, freezing the noise instantly.
"Personal relationships should be handled by the individual."
"Ms. Wen, regarding the art fund collaboration, please contact the project department according to the regulations and procedures."
"Private trip, no business to be discussed."
He paused, his gaze falling on Su Ruan.
"Su Ruan".
He called out names, his voice calm and even.
"Get on the boat."
"Check the details of the plan on the way."
The reasons were so plausible that they left people speechless.
It's perfectly normal for a boss to call on employees to report on their work in front of everyone.
Huo Siyue almost jumped up on the spot, frantically giving Su Ruan meaningful glances.
When Su Ruan met Yan Tingnan's emotionless gaze, the slight irritation that Wen Wanwan had stirred up in her heart was instantly soothed.
She smiled slightly, her tone obedient.
"Yes, Mr. Yan."
She met the sudden, gloomy gazes of Yan Yunye and Wen Wanwan, and walked towards Yan Tingnan's yacht.
"Evening Glory".
"us......"
His voice was hoarse.
"I'm fine."
Wen Wanwan forced a gentle smile.
"Ruanruan is just still angry with us."
This time, Yan Yunye didn't immediately comfort her as he usually did.
He stared blankly at the sea, his mind filled with Su Ruan's words.
Watching the yacht gradually disappear into the distance, I suddenly felt that Su Ruan's figure was even more unreachable than the sea.
