Yu Zi knitted her eyebrows together and asked, “How can you order take-out? Why don’t you eat something in the shops nearby?”
Yan Huaian was pleased when Yu Zi asked him this in a caring voice as he replied, “No, it’s okay. I just ate whatever I had for lunch.”
He wanted to say that he was busy with work, but then remembered that he told Yu Zi that he was not busy. If he said this then there would be a contradiction.
What if Yu Zi hung up so as to not disturb his work?
However, apparently, Yu Zi was rational when she was not talking to him face to face.
“Are you so busy that you can’t go out to eat? Are you working now?” Yu Zi asked.
Yan Huaian did not say anything. He did not want to lie to her.
Yu Zi pursed her lips together. “You should continue with your work then, I’m gonna hang up.”
“Wait.” Yan Huaian stopped her.
There was silence on the other side of the phone, so Yan Huaian was not sure if she had hung up or not.
After a while, a soft voice said, “What’s wrong?”
Her voice sounded so angelic after the silence. It was so soft and gentle, making it like music to his ears.
“I’ll go pick you up at night,” Yan Huaian said.
Yan Huaian was unsure if she would decline like she had done before, so he nervously waited for her answer.
Then, Yu Zi said, “Okay.”
Yan Huaian felt that nothing sounded better than Yu Zi’s voice. He almost jumped up in excitement, but then he remembered that Liu Jiamu was still there, so he stopped himself just in time.
After telling Yu Zi this, he hung up the phone.
Liu Jiamu’s mouth was full of rice. There was a layer of grease on his lips, and he was tut-tutting while shaking his head.
Yan Huaian gave him a sideways glance before deciding to continue with his meal.
“Senior,” Liu Jiamu said.
“What is it?” Yan Huaian answered.
“You’re treating us so differently. You’re treating Miss Yu so gently but you’re so cold with me. Even though we’re of different genders, you can’t do this to us, right?” Liu Jiamu said after swallowing a mouthful of rice.
Yan Huaian chuckled. “Even if you two were the same gender, I would still treat you the same way.”
“Senior, let me tell you, I started dating when I was in junior high. I had two girlfriends in senior high, and I had two girlfriends in university. Based on my experience, you can’t be too forward. From your conversation just now, I can tell that Miss Yu has feelings for you and it seems like she likes you too. So, that’s why you can’t be too forward with her.” Liu Jiamu said.
Yan Huaian felt that Liu Jiamu was behaving like a f*ckboy.
“Why?” He asked.
“This is about who gets to make the decision next time you’re together. If you get her too easily, then she won’t appreciate you. That’s why you have to more reserved,” Liu Jiamu said.
Yan Huaian, “...”
He is a man, why does he have to be reserved?
Yan Huaian did not want to pay any more attention to him, so he just finished his meal quickly and threw the box at Liu Jiamu. “Throw this away and get back to work.”
Liu Jiamu: “...”
...
Yu Zi went back to her office. She did not feel like working during her lunch break, so she took out her phone with the intention of posting a new status. When she opened it, she saw that there were a lot of likes on her post from this morning.
Then, Yu Zi suddenly remembered that Yan Huaian added her on Wechat.
They had added each other back when she needed to handle his case.
However, since Yan Huaian did not actively post, nor did he did not like or comment on any of her posts, Yu Zi simply thought that he did not use Wechat.
After a while, she forgot that she had even added Yan Huaian in the first place.
Therefore, she got careless and posted a status that sounded very amorous. However, it was possible that Yan Huaian did not feel that way toward her, he was just being a gentleman.
In the end, Yan Huaian not only liked her post, but also commented, “As long as you like it.”
As long as you like it...
Yu Zi started imagining Yan Huaian saying this as the scene played on repeat in her head.
Then, Yu Zi let out a huge sigh and buried her face into her hands.
It was so embarrassing.
How could she let Yan Huaian see that?
Wasn’t he inactive on Wechat? Why was he coincidentally on it just now, just in time to see her picture.
“Aiya!” The ‘ya’ in the end was a few octaves higher to show Yu Zi’s frustration.
If she deleted the post, it would seem like there was something going on. If she did not, it would make her feel frustrated.
“What would he think of me?” Yu Zi grumbled before resting on her desk.
...
Yu Zi was thinking about how to seduce Yan Huaian at night, but when it was almost time to go home, she was told that there was a new development on Zhao Yuxuan’s case, so she had to stay back and work over time.
When Song Dashen saw her sad face, he waved his hand and said, “Alright, you can take your work back home and continue there. You don’t have to stay back. Just tell me how long you’ve worked and I’ll add it into your overtime pay.”
Thus, the apprentice thanked her mentor and left with her documents.
When she walked out of the office, she saw Yan Huaian standing next to his car. When he saw her, he let out a huge smile.
After the incident yesterday, the whole office knew that Yan Huaian was chasing after Yu Zi. Naturally, everyone was envious of her.
On the other hand, if you were to look at Yu Zi, it would be obvious that she was not indifferent either.
Yu Zi had already made up her mind, so she smiled when she saw Yan Huaian. Then, she hurried over to him with her documents in hand. Her hair was in a ponytail that day, so it bounced behind her as she walked, making her look cute and cheerful.
Yan Huaian took the documents in her hand. “Why are there so many files?”
Yu Zi smiled helplessly. “There’s been some developments in the case. I have to work overtime tonight.”
Yan Huaian was helpless too. Thus, he simply put the documents into the backseat of the car before helping Yu Zi inside.
No one saw them leaving, aside from Yue Jingchen who was lurking in the distance.
He caught sight of Yu Zi smiling at another man, so it was clear that she had already forgotten about him in just a few days. She was just so cruel!
He was standing nearby, but she did not even notice.
Yue Jingchen clenched his fists.
...
Yan Huaian and Yu Zi bought four hairy crabs, two males and two females. Even though there were eggs in the female crabs, they were small so they would not be satisfied eating them, so they bought the males as well.
Yu Zi would not eat this if she were home alone. Now, it was hairy crab season, during which her parents would usually receive them as gifts, allowing her to eat it once she went home.
This was why she did not have the tools to eat crabs. Thus, they went and bought two sets of tools.
When they got home, Yan Huaian hurried over after changing his clothes. He said, “You’re going to be busy tonight, so just leave dinner to me and go do your work.”
“Didn’t we agree that I would take care of dinner?” Yu Zi said.
“That won’t be necessary. Tonight’s dinner is easy, so you don’t have to worry that I’ll mess it up,” Yan Huaian said while grinning.
Yu Zi shook her head and replied, “No.”
As she was about to reply, Yan Huaian grabbed a hold of her shoulders. Yu Zi’s heart skipped a beat and her eyes went wide. Then, she looked at him with her face all red.
Nevertheless, Yan Huaian did not notice the difference in Yu Zi’s behavior. He simply turned her around and pushed her out in to the living room. “Be good. Listen to me and leave everything to me.”
Yu Zi trembled a little after hearing him say this. Her ears were red and she lifted her head to look at him. However, his expression did not change, so it was like he was talking to a little girl. She felt a little disappointed because of this and starting pouting.
Yan Huaian looked at her weirdly. He wanted to put his finger on her pouting lips.
He wanted to lift his hand to do this, but they were on her shoulders.
He was unsure if he was just being delusional or not, but it looked like Yu Zi was trying to act cute with him.
Therefore, he went back into the kitchen in glee to clean the hairy crabs.
At the same time, Yu Zi went into her room to change into something more comfortable. She wanted to change into something sexy but quickly noticed that she did not have anything of the sort. Her sexiest outfit would be her oversized white t-shirt.
However, that shirt was too thin, so she did not dare to wear it in front of him. In the end, she decided on something more decent.
When she got back to the living room, she took out her notebook and her documents before continuing with her work.
Even though the kitchen door was closed, she could still hear the rumbling of the cooker hood.
Because Yu Zi was thinking about Yan Huaian, she could not concentrate.
After fidgeting with her pen for a while, she got up. Then, she pressed her back against the wall and snuck to the kitchen door.
She did not dare to look at him so obviously, so she hid behind the wall. Fortunately, the door to the kitchen was made of glass, so there was nothing obstructing her view.
