After a long while, the three of them were tired. Listening to Yurong’s breathing gradually becoming even, Li Yan gently stroked Yue Yao’s back, signaling her to sleep peacefully. There was no use in saying more at this point.
Yue Yao was even more satisfied, having fulfilled the smallest wish in her heart. Li Yan was still by her side, making her reluctant to sleep, wanting to savor the mont more as there wouldn’t be such opportunities in the future. But ultimately, her mind and body were exhausted, and she soon fell asleep contentedly.
Although Li Yan was also tired, he didn’t dare to sleep. If Yurong woke up and turned on the lights, it would be troubleso. He had to wait until she fell asleep to leave.
In the dark, listening to the breathing of the two won beside him, his mood, filled with tension, excitent, and guilt, gradually cald down.
At this mont, he even thought that if he could live like this every day in the future, it might be the legendary blessing of the Qi people’s paradise!
However, he quickly laughed at himself inwardly. This could only be a fantasy! Not to ntion he wasn’t even close with Yurong, who was still far from him; even Yue Yao was just a replacent driven by impulse, and after tomorrow’s dawn, everyone might just awkwardly pretend nothing happened. There’s no need to talk about Qi people’s paradise.
Listening to their steady breathing after falling asleep, Li Yan showed a slight smile of relief, knowing he had more to be concerned about. It’s a good thing but also a pressure!
After ensuring they were sound asleep, the fatigued Li Yan reluctantly left the tender haven, carefully opened the door, and returned to his room.
...
The next morning, the three of them appeared simultaneously for breakfast. Li Yan had gone to G City previously and left his car at the company, so he had to leave first to take the bus, also feeling awkward facing Yue Yao.
In fact, Yue Yao got up late as well today, and when Yurong left to wash up, she finally had ti to clean and freshen up. Thinking back to the scenes of last night, she felt both shy and a bit lost, as such opportunities wouldn’t happen again, nor could she actively seek such monts; perhaps it was just this mory!
On working days, Yurong had already regained her presidential deanor, quickly put everything behind her, and headed off to the company after breakfast.
anwhile, Li Yan was on the bus, pondering whether he might coincidentally run into Jiang Lele, the milking angel, and perhaps there’s a "surprise" waiting for him at the company!
Li Yan didn’t run into Jiang Lele, and because he’d only taken that route once in the morning and afternoon, he wasn’t familiar with the schedule, resulting in him missing the bus and arriving late at the company. Seeing he was late anyway, he leisurely took his ti, first buying a new phone and replacing the SIM card.
When he arrived at the office, he noticed Wen Qianyi with a sullen face and furrowed brows, unlike her usual lively, optimistic deanor, always maintaining energy and a cheerful smile at the company. It seed sothing was bothering her.
"Supervisor Wen, why the bad mood? Got a relative visiting?" Li Yan joked.
Wen Qianyi glanced up at him dismissively and ignored him.
Seeing her low spirits, Li Yan beca serious, "Wen Qianyi, is it last night’s scare leaving aftereffects? Or did today’s news co out with more frightening reports?"
"No... I haven’t been following the reports." Wen Qianyi shook her head and tried to smile, "Actually, it’s related to you..."
"Related to ?" Li Yan was speechless and chuckled, "Supervisor Wen, Little Yi, were you thinking all night about whether I’m the mysterious Hero?"
"Oh, get lost!" Wen Qianyi laughed and scolded, handing him a sheet of A4 paper.
Li Yan took it and saw it was a copy of a personnel appointnt notice, stating that due to his good work performance and sense of responsibility, the company had decided to promote him to Deputy Team Leader of the Security Team. It already had the signatures of Ye Jiahong, the Business Director, Hai Fu, the Administrative Director, and Wang Ziyu, the Human Resources Director.
Since the appointnt was only for a deputy team leader, and Li Yan was just a regular employee in the business departnt, as long as the administrative departnt agreed to the selection arrangent, and the departnt head had no objections, the Human Resources departnt could directly approve and notify for the procedures without needing the president’s involvent.
Generally speaking, to anyone, this appointnt would seem like a promotion in na but a demotion in reality, because the security team was bland and boring, without any perks, and had no future; in any aspect, it couldn’t compare to the business departnt. But Li Yan was just coasting in the business departnt, with no achievents, and Wen Qianyi was new without any reason to oppose Ye Jiahong’s decision.
After reading it, Li Yan laughed, "Is Ye Jiahong trying to ss with ?"
Seeing his deanor, Wen Qianyi, who initially felt injustice for him, laughed as well; she thought, "Forget it, this guy is so laid-back; if he doesn’t care, why should I waste my worries on him?" "Maybe you can consider it from another angle; perhaps Hai Fu, whom you supposedly have rumors with, wants to promote you!"
"Is this considered a promotion? It’s a punishnt for , right?" Li Yan waved the paper in his hand, "Deputy team leader; it’s really just sending to idle away. But I don’t believe Hai Fu would be so bored. It should be Ye Jiahong; Old Ye has always been unhappy with . Last ti, he wanted to chase after Hai Fu, but I extorted thousands from him. He must be resentful, but I feel this is not the primary motive!"
"Oh?"
"I think maybe because he failed to curry favor with President Zhang, and considering he has many rivals and no chance, he’s increasingly feeling that he has a similarly beautiful flower right in front of him. Why seek far and wide? That’s right, it’s you! To get closer to you, he has to first move away as the Flower Guardian." Li Yan sat on Wen Qianyi’s desk, smiling as he shared his speculation.
