Chapter 8 - Affection Behind the Scenes (2/2)

“Very good,” the investigator laughed. “The young man is an optimistic and cheerful man. He seems very lively. He laughs at everyone and even greets me when he sees me.”

Li Yihan frowned. “How does he greet you?”

The staff tried to recall his memories for a moment, coughed a little, and began to imitate Chi Zhao.

He smiled a little and then acted like he was holding something. “It’s so hard to stay up so late. Would you like to drink a glass of milk?”

After the imitation, his hands and expression immediately returned to their normal state.

Li Yihan looked at him with a blank expression. “Did you drink it?”

The investigator laughed, embarrassed: “No, that’s what the young man likes to drink. He drinks a glass every day before he goes to bed. How can I steal it from him?”

“I see,” Li Yihan slightly hooked his lips up, and then instantly turned cold again. “You can roll away now.”

Investigator: “…”

Assistant Zhao: “…”

The boss is getting more and more moody every day, and Assistant Zhao was also very confused. But thinking about it, it seems that when the boss is most moody, he is listening to the report on Qi Yuan’s daily life. Zhao Bin tentatively asked, “Boss, does Qi Yuan make you angry?”

“No.”

Although he said no, Li Yihan’s expression obviously became even worse. Zhao Bin thought he had found the crux of the matter and said, “Why don’t I go and remind him for you that a man of Qi Yuan’s age is unafraid of tigers and is still ignorant of many things. He shouldn’t think that this is his own kingdom to lord over. Once I remind him, he will never offend you again.”

Li Yihan lifted his eye and looked at him expressionlessly.

Zhao Bin: “… Or you can go back and remind him yourself.”

Li Yihan remained silent; his expression unchanging. Zhao Bin felt that he would be fired in the next second. Suddenly, he heard Li Yihan say, “Okay, I’ll go back in a minute. Push back my afternoon meetings for me.”

Li Yihan’s expression was no longer so terrible. After Zhao Bin watched him stand up and leave the office, it took him a long time to react.

He probably, maybe, just maybe… he was right about something, but what was he right about?

Zhao Bin was puzzled.

In fact, not to mention Zhao Bin, even Li Yihan didn’t understand what was going on with himself. He didn’t go home so that Qi yuan had the chance to calm down and figure out that his feelings were not love but gratitude, but when he didn’t go home, he always wanted to know what Qi Yuan is doing, is he living off of tea and rice?

It turned out that he thought too much. Qi Yuan didn’t think about tea and rice at all. On the contrary, his appetite was better than that of his time, and he could eat half a bowl more each meal.

Thinking about this Li Yihan felt very uncomfortable. And did he use the milk Li Yihan bought for him just to give it his men? Qi Yuan didn’t give him any milk!

On the way home, instead of letting the chauffeur drive, he chose to drive back by himself, in a focused and quiet atmosphere, which was very suitable for thinking. As soon as the idea came to mind, Li Yihan was silent.

The man who just screamed for milk couldn’t be him. Well, it shouldn’t be…

Today, Chi Zhao only had classes in the morning. At noon, he went home and had lunch. Afterwards, he sat on the beanbag beside the window and read books. The huge beanbag was soft and fluffy. Once he sat on it, it was like his whole being was sucked into it. Xiao Pang laid beside him in the sun. He read two pages of books, and then he rubbed Xiao Pang’s butt.

In just a week, Xiao Pang had already become a reformed lover of butt scratches. His tail was shaking slowly. Chi Zhao was wearing a white turtleneck sweater, his hands were busy helping Xiao Pang smooth his fur, and the warm sunlight came through the window falling on top of a man and his cat.

When Li Yihan returned home, he saw such a scene waiting for him. He stood at the door, silently watching. After hearing the door opening, Qi Yuan and Xiao Pang raised their heads to look up at the sound. Qi Yuan blinked and immediately showed a brilliant smile. “Mr. Li came back early.”
