Chapter One Hundred and Twelve: New Car
“Squeakk.” Trip? Sure.
Xiao Yu answered half-heartedly as he played his game.
Yan Jin: ……
Chairman Yan, who thought that it would not an easy feat to convince his hamster, hid the five centimeters thick of information behind him.
“Squeak?” Why did you take a step back?
Xiao Yu squinted his eyes as he watched doubtfully at Yan Jin.
“Nothing.” Yan Jin who was puzzled by the situation, pretended to be firm: “Where shall we go then…?”
“Squeakk?” You still have vacation leave to take?
Xiao Yu’s random question hit the spot.
The Lunar New Year holidays were just over. YL should have a lot of things to accomplished. It seemed bad to be taking leave on such a critical period.
“Of course. There’s new leave on a new year.”
Yan Jin spoke with such assurance as if he had completely ditched his image of a hardworking chairman.
“Squeakk.” Alright then. Why are we going?
Xiao Yu seemed to pick up an interest as he moved away from the iPad and jumped into Yan Jin’s hand.
As the hamster nest himself into the human’s hand, he suddenly felt like both of them had not done such intimate interaction for a very long time.
Maybe it was just him overthinking. After all, they had been together every day.
“… tomorrow then.” Yan Jin did not hesitate too long before he decided.
“Squeakk?” That rush? Did you make arrangement already?
Xiao Yu was very surprised.
“Yeah. It’s mostly done.”
Yan Jin said in deadly earnest and determination that almost convinced himself that it was the truth.
In fact, the reason why the chairman was in a rush was because he was worried that Xiao Yu would fall out with him and become hostile again.
Yan Jin was determined not to fall for the same trick twice.
“Squeak.” Then where are we going?
“Where do you want to go?”
“Squeakk?” Didn’t you make arrangement already?
Xiao Yu felt very perplexed. It was as if Yan Jin was on a different channel from him.
“I did make arrangement already, so you could go wherever you like.”
The stack of papers in Yan Jin’s hands were still warm to touch. Just as he was about to present the information, he heard –
Squeakk.
Then let’s go to Four Seasons Manor.
“……” the hand that was shifted halfway out, retreated again.
Yan Jin gritted his teeth silently and forced a smiling face: “Sure. If we’re going to the Four Seasons Manor, then I won’t be getting a chauffeur. We could bring more things this time. I’ll show you my new car.”
He said it so sullenly.
“Squeakk?” You don’t seem so willing?
Xiao Yu raised his head and blinked his little eyes at Yan Jin, making it impossible for the man to be angry.
“How could that be?” Yan Jin lifted Xiao Yu up and kissed his little stomach: “As long as it is for Fishy, I’m willing to do anything.”
Xiao Yu who felt like he was burning, turned his face away awkwardly as he mumbled about how Yan Jin was so good at coaxing, that he could tell with one look that the man was up to no good.
If such a conclusion was heard by the audience, they would surely be dumbstruck.
That Yan Jin? That YL’s Yan Jin? That Yan Jin whose smile would mean misfortune to the other person, who was so cold like he had a freezer that would freeze the atmosphere wherever he went… that he was good at coaxing?
See no evil, hear no evil.
On the same day, Chairman Yan who assumed that taking leave was such a small matter, called his secretary to ask how many days of vacation leave and sick leave he had not used. However, before the person on the other side of the call could answer, the call was taken over by his fellow colleague.
“Yan Jin, you *——–*! I’m telling you now that if you plan to go holiday for ten-odd days with your little lover, you shall witness me tearing down your company!” Such tone was so recognizable that he did not even need to announce his name.
Yan Jin who was actually prepared to take ten-odd days of leave, felt slightly guilty at that moment. But he did not lose his vigor as he replied: “Who is the current chairman? Move aside, let Secretary Fang answer.”
“Dafug, you’re too much! The largest shareholder had only transferred his shared few days ago. Your position is still unstable and yet you dare to leave your house? Are you sick of leaving? Do you know those hitmen from both sides of the world is watching you like a tasty drumstick and you still dare to go on a holiday…?”
“Speak like a human being.”
Yan Jin did not even bother to ridicule Shao Yue as the man would blabber all sorts of things when he was agitated. Despite that, he would still miss his main point.
“…… There’s something on with the He family. I need to make a trip there next week. I don’t have time to take care of your company.”
“When are you going next week?”
“Next Monday! Tuesday… Wednesday, or latest by Thursday. Milord, just give me a break, will you?”
“I’ll be back next Thursday. It’s settled then.”
Shao Yue lowered the phone as he sighed in relief. At the same time, he was a little regretful that he had relax the restrictions under Yan Jin’s duress.
Secretary Fang who had witnessed the whole incident was once again full of respect for Yan Jin.
This was what people describe as ‘Mighty without words with aura made by heaven’.
Even when Yan Jin had not said much in one sentence, he could easily make Shao Yue who not one could handle in the entire company, retreat in defeat.
The first time when YL was abandoned by Yan Jin, the entire company was in chaos without any directions. It caused their efficiency to plummet as everything was in a mess, and injuries had almost happened. The second time when Yan Jin abandoned YL, they ended up in a bigger mess. Secretary Fang had entered the chairman’s office five times that day and after not getting any response for almost half the day, she finally recalled that Yan Jin was not around. The third time Yan Jin had abandoned YL…
Finally got used to it.
The entire company was functioning as usual. It was no different from how it was when Yan Jin was around.
A company like YL was considered to be titled as an outstanding large enterprise.
It was worthy of celebration.
……
Ohmygawd.
Xiao Yu was embarrassed and at a complete loss at the overwhelming nouveau-riche in front of him.
The luxury vehicle before him was the awe-inspiring latest model of Rolls-Royce Phantom.
To be honest, if Xiao Yu did not possess a cheating tool like his previous life memories, he may not even recognize this car. Because if he remembered correctly, the previous time Yan Jin had returned from his trip, he had set his hands on it. And during this period, this vehicle’s series had not even appeared in public.
“Squeakk?” Is this a recreational vehicle?
Xiao Yu looked at the luxury recreational vehicle. For some reason, he found it familiar.
It was probably because he had seen the picture of it in his previous life. Maybe it was from the magazines in his office?
Xiao Yu thought unsurely.
After all, if he had not been reborn and had met Yan Jin, a car like this was something that he may never ever seen it himself in his entire lifetime.
“Hm. I bought it specially for you. Do you feel touched?”
Xiao Yu pushed lightly at the car door as he rubbed himself against it. The only thing left was to lick it.
Yan Jin opened the door, took a step back as he gestured a ‘this way please’ post.
Xiao Yu leaped off Yan Jin’s palm and swaggered his way into the vehicle, just like a little emperor that was inspecting his territory.
“How is it?” Yan Jin bend over as he watched Xiao Yu with anticipation.
Compared to the normal-looking exterior, the interior of the vehicle was the place where Yan Jin had put in great efforts.
Xiao Yu took two steps forward but did not continue walking.
The reason was as such, Yan Jin had printed his photos all over the interior of the vehicle.
Even the seats and flooring were full of his selfie, which means that he could see countless ‘him’ smiling like an idiot back at him if he looked upwards.
How majestic it was? It was like standing in a room with mirror walls. It was a fear like he had been surrounded by himself.
How should he put it, although he was appreciative of Yan Jin’s intention, but this was way too…
The pair of designer’s eyes was aching dully.
“If you’re touched, cheer up, okay?”
Not only did Yan Jin not understood Xiao Yu’s complicated struggle, he even thought that his hamster was touched beyond words.
It was not that his mysterious ability had failed him, it was just that Yan Jin had not been judged for his esthetic taste, which was why he did not doubt his own standards.
Xiao Yu turned around and saw Yan Jin’s face that was obviously happy. The ‘could it still be returned’ was swallowed back.
“Squeak.” Thank you.
Although Xiao Yu did not like such a prank-like design, but his thanks was indeed from the bottom of his heart.
Thank you for doing so much for me.
“Then cheer up?” Yan Jin rubbed Xiao Yu’s little head.
“Squeakk.” I made you worried.
Xiao Yu nudged back intimately at Yan Jin’s finger.
Ever since he had spoken with Chu Ge, he had been in bad mood and pretended to act like normal. He even thought that he had not spill the beans.
Then again, it seemed like there was nothing great about his acting skills. Yan Jin should have realized it long ago.
To be able to wait till this day to confront him after going around the bushes, it was must have been tough on Yan Jin.
At that moment, Xiao Yu could not deny that he was deeply touched by Yan Jin.
“Sit well. We’re moving off now.”
“Squeak!”
The car was indeed bought for Xiao Yu. the spacious interior had little stairs everywhere and the touchscreens on both ends was free to play. If Xiao Yu could think of it, he could even reach the car roof.
It was the first time where his cage had been fitted into a vehicle. Even if it was placed into the trunk, it would not be a hindrance. Sharing the space in the trunk, was a series of the winter season’s little clothes, scarves and hats, as well as snacks, melon seeds and dried fruits.
Yan Jin’s belongings were as little as before, as it he had went out empty handed.
This was Xiao Yu’s third time heading to the Four Seasons Manor.
Compared to the novelty and anticipation in the past two trips, this trip made Xiao Yu at ease like he had never felt before.
In Xiao Yu’s heart, the Four Seasons Manor was like their second home.
Although he may sound like he was overestimating himself – after all, without Yan Jin, a place like the Four Seasons Manor was somewhere he could not even dream of.
However, Xiao Yu was greedy right now. He wielded on Yan Jin’s pamper and he was looking forward to it. In the future, there would be many chances where they would travel back and forth between these two homes.
Again and again…
