Chapter 101 is over, the person in charge caught red-handed.
On the other end of the phone, Song Shengsheng's arrogant demeanor came to an abrupt halt, like a chicken being strangled, upon hearing the cold "Miss Song."
Several seconds passed before Song Shengsheng's stammering voice could be heard.
"Mr. Yan... Mr. Yan?"
"Good morning...? Have you eaten?"
Oh no, we've caught them red-handed!
Yan Tingnan glanced indifferently at Su Ruan's flushed cheeks, then spoke calmly and evenly into the phone.
"Yes, I ate it."
"It tastes great."
Su Ruan: "!!!"
What outrageous things is he saying?!
Su Ruan felt a chill run down her spine and reached out to grab the phone.
Yan Tingnan easily dodged the attack by raising her wrist.
He pulled her into his arms and pressed his palm against her lower back, giving her a light but firm massage.
Su Ruan's legs went weak, and she almost let out a groan, hurriedly biting her lip.
A dry, forced laugh came from the other end of the phone as Song Shengsheng began frantically trying to cover it up.
"Um, Mr. Yan, please don't misunderstand, I just misspoke!"
"What I mean is that Ruan Ruan is a bit spoiled, yes, spoiled."
"I was just worried about Ruan Ruan and afraid she would get hurt, hehehe."
"Losing out?"
Yan Tingnan chuckled softly, his fingertips stroking Su Ruan's nape, sending a shiver down her spine.
"Soft."
He suddenly called out names, his voice low and magnetic.
Did you suffer a loss?
Amidst the silent background screams of Song Shengsheng, Su Ruan forced herself to speak.
"It's...it's alright..."
"Just okay?"
Yan Tingnan raised an eyebrow, her tone carrying a dangerous hint of amusement.
Upon hearing that something was amiss, Song Shengsheng, fearing that her dear daughter hadn't died enough, quickly interjected.
"Oh dear! Mr. Yan, please don't listen to her modesty!"
"Ruanruan just praised you for being so vigorous and strong! You have an extraordinary physique!"
"Our Ruan Ruan is so lucky!"
Sister, this is all I can do to help you!
boast!
Praise it to the extreme!
Su Ruan: "!!!"
When did she ever say such a thing?!
This was clearly Song Shengsheng's own summary!
Yan Tingnan raised an eyebrow and looked at the person in his arms whose ears were flushed red.
"oh?"
"So that's how Ruan Ruan evaluated it in such depth."
On the other end of the phone came Song Shengsheng's choked sobs as she tried to suppress her laughter.
Su Ruan, unable to bear it any longer, tried to snatch the phone, but he easily grabbed her wrist and pressed her down in front of him.
Yan Tingnan casually added into the microphone, "Don't worry, Miss Song."
"I didn't run away, I didn't intend to get something for nothing, and I won't let her suffer any losses."
"I'll use this person first."
"Give her three more days off."
These words had a double meaning, and Su Ruan's ears instantly turned bright red.
"Please feel free to use it! No rush to return it!"
"Three days isn't enough, let's go straight to a week."
"Well, Mr. Yan, you guys get busy!"
"Wishing you and Ruan Ruan, uh, all the best! Goodbye!"
Beep beep beep.
A busy signal sounded.
The world is finally quiet.
Yan Tingnan handed the phone back to Su Ruan.
Su Ruan's cheeks flushed bright red as she took the phone, wishing she could just die on the spot.
When did you arrive?
"Just arrived."
Su Ruan didn't dare to look at him; a voice above her head, devoid of any discernible emotion, came from him.
"Did you have a deep conversation?"
Su Ruan felt a chill run down her spine.
"We were just chatting casually, it was just a joke between girls..."
His voice trailed off, and he was terribly guilty.
"joke?"
He repeated it, taking a step forward.
Su Ruan instinctively stepped back, her back hitting the cold railing, with nowhere to escape.
He reached out and gently touched her red, bleeding earlobe with his fingers.
"Let's discuss my technology."
Su Ruan's heart pounded wildly. She closed her eyes tightly and muttered something under her breath, as if she were going to risk everything.
"But you heard everything, didn't you?"
"I heard you."
He admitted it readily.
"The evaluation is quite objective."
Yan Tingnan lowered his head and kissed her, slowly and deliberately, yet with increasing intensity.
As Su Ruan suffered repeated defeats and her mind became hazy, she heard him ask in a hoarse voice.
"You said it was alright just now?"
"Not only is it okay!"
Yan Tingnan was slightly satisfied and kissed her wet eyes.
"Good boy/girl, remember to use the best rating next time you give a score."
Su Ruan was so angry that she wanted to bite him, but he held her fingers tightly, their ten fingers intertwined.
"Soft."
He suddenly called her name in a low voice.
"I used to cultivate a mind as still as water."
"I don't want to fix it now."
"If I drown in this sea, I can consider my life complete."
"Yan Tingnan!"
Su Ruan was filled with shame and indignation, and pressed her hand against his chest.
"That's enough!"
He grabbed her wrist; his palm was burning hot.
"Should we stop here?"
He repeated those four words as if savoring something interesting.
"This word doesn't exist in the dictionary."
"With you, I'll only push my luck."
Sunlight fell on his sharply defined profile, half bright and half deep.
Even the austere gold-rimmed glasses couldn't suppress the lust in his eyes that resided solely for her.
Su Ruan looked at his lips so close to hers, her heart pounding like a drum.
This man, with the outward appearance of a refined scoundrel, uttered the most outrageous words.
Yet, ironically, it makes one's legs go weak.
Where did you go just now?
Su Ruan's voice was still slightly hoarse.
"I went to town to buy some ingredients and had the kitchen cook something."
"You're exhausted, you need to eat something nourishing."
"I also bought some other things."
He let go of her and picked up a paper bag from the side.
Su Ruan peeked out and was stunned.
Besides some of her favorite snacks, the bag also contained several boxes of different brands of soothing gel and a tube of premium repairing essential oil.
There is also a box of plasters to relieve muscle soreness.
Her ears burned.
You even bought this?
"Teacher Yan is very considerate."
Yan Tingnan adjusted his glasses, his tone indifferent.
"I'm afraid it will fall apart and affect the user experience later on."
Su Ruan: "..."
She knew it!
The restaurant was located in a quiet corner of the hotel restaurant.
Several dishes were served quickly.
Steamed chicken with cordyceps flowers, stewed yak tendon with matsutake mushrooms, stir-fried wild mountain vegetables, and a small bowl of milky white Tibetan chicken soup.
Yan Tingnan barely touched his chopsticks; he spent most of his time serving her food.
"Is Teacher Yan feeding pigs?"
Su Ruan sipped the soup, feeling warm and cozy in her stomach, which also softened a corner of her heart.
"Um."
He should be at peace with himself.
"I raise them, so I have to take good care of them."
Su Ruan glared at him, but a smile appeared in her eyes.
This man can be ruthless enough to devour her whole, but he can also be incredibly meticulous.
Over the next two days, he took her to visit several tourist attractions.
During the day, he was an excellent travel companion, knowledgeable and patient, and his camera was full of her smiling photos.
While climbing Yading Snow Mountain, he held her hand the whole way, and oxygen cylinders were always on hand.
She couldn't breathe, so he simply carried her on his back, attracting the attention of passersby.
While visiting a Tibetan Buddhist temple in Sichuan, he listened to the sermon while holding prayer beads, his face solemn.
She secretly patted his profile, and he grabbed her wrist and tickled her palm.
She got tired from walking, so he carried her on his back.
She was thirsty, so he handed her water.
She glanced at a certain trinket, and he bought it the next second.
Meticulous and thoughtful, comparable to a top-tier private butler.
Once night falls and the door is closed, everything changes.
Once the gold-rimmed glasses are removed, that layer of refined and ascetic facade is completely stripped away.
Su Ruan was thoroughly tormented; she cried, begged, and even cursed.
The row of consumables she had bought in Chengdu was visibly decreasing rapidly.
Yan Tingnan has an astonishing amount of energy, and his learning and innovation abilities are even more terrifying.
Pretend to be human by day, and a beast by night.
Su Ruan felt that this man was probably her destined calamity.
Yan Tingnan never imagined that one day she would become addicted to this almost childish lip-and-teeth game.
He loved watching her get excited and jump up and down, yet still couldn't resist getting closer to him.
He loved the vibrant energy she exuded, like the strongest liquor, burning away all his facade of calm and composure.
Those interactions that he once thought were meaningless suddenly became enjoyable simply because the other person was her.
