Chapter 33 (1/2)

Thank you for all the well wishes, I very much appreciate it.

One of the things I was thinking about this novel is how much I like that it reminds you that it is, in fact, in a novel world. For example, how in the last chapter Shen Yu mentioned that if it was the “real world”, running a company would be a lot harder.

It makes me think of all the novels I've read that make me wonder when the characters have time to run ma.s.sive organizations between all their romance and melodrama.

Shen Yu was used to Tang Li's praise. However, he still felt a little embarra.s.sed when he looked at Tang Li's bright black eyes, so he covered Tang Li's eyes with his hand.

“There's no more to see.” He spoke in a commanding tone.

Tang Li promised very cheerfully, “Okay, I understand.”

As a result, Shen Yu put down his hand and found that Tang Li was still staring at him.

Sensing the reproach in Shen Yu's gaze, Tang Li's eyes smiled even more. He grabbed Shen Yu's hand and swung it back and forth. He said in a clear and pleasant voice, “I don't know why, even if I can see you every day, it seems that I can't see you enough.”

Shen Yu: “…”

These lovely words sure are free flowing.

Before Shen Yu could respond, Uncle Zhang let out a chuckle: “Young master Tang Li's mouth is getting sweeter and sweeter.”

Shen Yu felt goose b.u.mps raise on his body: “It's so sweet I'm afraid he'll lose his teeth.”

In regards to Shen Yu's quip, Tang Li didn't care. He continued to spout sweet words and tightly cling to Shen Yu. He wished his whole person could stick to Shen Yu.

In the process of leaving the airport, Shen Yu inadvertently saw several paparazzi snapping at them in the crowd. Perhaps it was because they were afraid of Uncle Zhang and two bodyguards who were following them, but the paparazzi didn't dare to closely approach them.

Outside the airport, the branch leaders who received the news had been waiting in the parking lot. After calling Uncle Zhang, the leaders rushed over to guide Shen Yu.

The leader's face flashed a very subtle emotion as his eyes swept over Tang Li.

It was said that Shen Yu intends to train the Tang orphan into the Shen family's heir.

It seems that this news is not false, otherwise why would Shen Yu bring the child with him when he went to Jincheng for inspection?

The leader's mind turned over a thousand times. After thinking about it, he subconsciously squeezed out a kind and gentle smile to Tang Li and asked, “Is the young master on winter vacation?”

Tang Li looked at the leader coldly and said nothing.

Shen Yu pinched Tang Li's hand, slightly displeased.

Although Shen Yu's strength was not heavy, but he pinched Tang Li's face with an expression of grievance, and the little villain's eyebrows almost tied into a knot because of that.

The little villain's dark eyes looked at the leader quietly and gave him a bland hum.

Somehow, the leader felt chilled by Tang Li's stare.

Although he knew this reaction was ridiculous, and that adults shouldn't be afraid of children, when he thought about that child, the leader didn't dare try to speak to Tang Li again.

Shen Yu had been observing Tang Li's reaction. He could see that the little villain was still cold to the outside world and stranger. Feeling helpless, Shen Yu could only reply to the leader in Tang Li's place, “Chestnut has just started his winter vacation, so I decided to take him out to play. Since we're here we'll also inspect your work situation.”

Leader: “…”

Oh…

Originally, taking the child out to play was the key point. The inspection was just an add on.

For a time, the leader felt like his new wife and his son were showing off in front of him [1] .

Despite the vinegar in his heart, the leader devoted himself to arranging five-star hotels and local guides for Shen Yu and his group. By the time the group of people finished their dinner in the restaurant near the hotel, it was after 8 p.m.

The leader took Shen Yu and others back to the hotel and talked to them about their visit to the company tomorrow morning before driving away.

As early as two days ago, the leader learned from Uncle Zhang that there were five people in their group. So, he ordered his a.s.sistant to book five suites, even Tang Li had a separate one.

Unfortunately, Tang Li didn't know that his room was different from Shen Yu's, so he followed Shen Yu to his room.

Just when he entered the room, Uncle Zhang, who at some point appeared behind him, grabbed his collar.

“Young master Tang Li.” Uncle Zhang spoke expressionlessly, “Your room is on the opposite side. I'll take you there.”

Tang Li was stunned. He threw his poor puppy's eyes to Shen Yu and whispered, “I'm afraid…”

Before Shen Yu could speak, Uncle Zhang took the lead in saying, “If young master Tang Li is afraid of being alone, come and sleep with me. Even though I'm in a standard room, there's still an empty bed.”

Tang Li: “…”

He continued to look at Shen Yu like a puppy.

However, Shen Yu was completely unaffected.

The next moment, Tang Li's pitiful look instantly switched to expressionless face. He turned to Uncle Zhang and spoke in a cold and polite tone: “Thank you Uncle Zhang, I'm not afraid now.”

Uncle Zhang had already seen through Tang Li's tragedy selling trick and nodded slightly: “Let's go, don't disturb the young master's rest.”

Shen Yu smiled and waved: “Good night, Chestnut.”

Tang Li looked deeply at Shen Yu, lifted his lips without saying anything, and left with Uncle Zhang dejectedly. If he had a tail behind him, that tail would be slouching between his legs.

Shen Yu looked at his and wanted to laugh, but he couldn't help choking.

Just as Tang Li had made it to the door, he looked back and stared.

The smile on Shen Yu's face froze instantly and he saw that Tang Li turn around and go back. The little villain slammed the door with a merciless bang.

—————

The next day.

Shen Yu and Uncle Zhang went to the hotel restaurant to have breakfast together. They saw Tang Li and two bodyguards already sitting at the table.

Tang Li had changed into new clothes. He wore a dark grey woolen overcoat and slim jeans, which were matched with a pure black turtleneck sweater. The suit was picked out by Shen Yu before they left, so Aunt Chen had specially packed it in the little villain's suitcase.
