Chapter One Hundred and Fifty-Six: I Already Understand (1/2)

Sure, Xiao Yu was aware that YL’s elevator was extremely fast. After all, it took only a minute and half to go from the first to the thirtieth floor. But it was still rather annoying to go up and down ten times a day.

Yan Jin had mentioned that his office was on the thirtieth floor, but hadn’t he been joking?

He must have been joking, right?!

Only the heavens knew how he had felt when he was notified that he had to temporarily share an office with Yan Jin because there weren’t enough desks in the design department.

When Director Wang had announced it, He Xinjia had burst out laughing at Xiao Yu’s expense while throwing meaningful looks at him.

What kind of looks? Of course she was imagining her workplace sexual fantasies!

Xiao Yu had known He Xinjia for a long time, but he had never realized that He Xinjia was also a fujoshi.

He had only discovered this fact when on the first day, after the welcome party, He Xinjia had specially dragged him away to sneakily ask him:

“Between you and Yan Jin, who’s on top?”

This very obviously was a trap.

Sadly, even though Xiao Yu realized her intentions, because of the shock, he wasn’t able to come up with a rational response fast enough.

Which was as good as an admission.

He Xinjia shrieked on the spot and then immediately covered her mouth while looking around. In a low voice, she said to Xiao Yu, “All this time, I’ve been saying that if such a desirable husband like Chairman Yan has never sexually engaged a woman, he must either be impotent or gay. Looks like he’s gay indeed!”

Xiao Yu stared up wordlessly and nodded.

He too had come to the exact conclusion before. Furthermore, he had actually personally tested his hypothesis and verified its authenticity.

He Xinjia had only been able to guess their relationship because of her fujoshi’s intuition. However, among the rest of their colleagues who originally hadn’t suspected anything, they couldn’t suppress their suspicions after Yan Jin’s conspicuous actions.

Even disregarding the other evidence, the mere fact that Xiao Yu’s office was on the thirtieth floor indicated that there was something going on.

……

“Why do you need to go back down again? You just came back twenty minutes ago?” Yan Jin grumbled.

“How can you even complain?” Xiao Yu almost died from anger. “If you didn’t put my desk up here, would I even need to run around like this?”

Yan Jin blinked innocently. “This is the company’s arrangement. There’s nothing I can do if there’s not enough space on the third floor.”

“If you keep this up, you’re sleeping on the sofa tonight.” Xiao Yu threatened.

“…If it weren’t set up like this, you’d never come visit me.” To protect his lawful rights, Yan Jin could only honestly say, “Furthermore, this will subtly spread the news of our relationship. Otherwise, they’d be too shocked when we publicly announce it.”

Xiao Yu ridiculed, “Is there any need to subtly spread anything? Who in the company doesn’t know of our relationship?”

Not too long ago when Xiao Yu hadn’t yet formally joined YL, YL’s employees had pondered the riddle that had quickly spread through the entire company: who was the bitch that had managed to get her hands on Chairman Yan?

Right, the issue wasn’t whether Yan Jin had fallen in love, but rather with whom. Everyone could already deduce that Yan Jin definitely had been caught by the vortex of love.

Yan Jin was well-known for his self-restraint and clean lifestyle. No matter how his horde of fans in YL wildly extrapolated any clue to mean that he had a secret lover, those fantasies were simply fantasies and were only meant for self-amusement. Regardless of what anyone said, there was never any solid evidence that indicated Yan Jin had a secret lover.

After that week’s meeting, no one had had any hard evidence that Yan Jin had fallen in love, but they had all firmly believed it.

Love didn’t lie. Even if those in love didn’t say anything, their eyes would give away the sweet and bitter feelings of romance.

For those that attended that week’s meeting, they had quickly collected ideas. After confirming that Yan Jin definitely had found a partner, they had debated who had managed to move the emotionless king while clicking their tongues in astonishment.

Shao Yue, the only person who had more information, had chosen to keep quiet. Although he loved the thrill of revealing the truth to others, he was a tactful person. Other people’s business was other people’s business. He didn’t dare spout rubbish about Yan Jin’s relationships.

Who knew what Yan Jin would do when he went crazy? After seeing the unprecedented and never-to-be-repeated funeral, even close friends such as Shao Yue still felt fearful recalling those memories.

Who was Chairman Yan’s lover? Who could win over the bigshot Chairman Yan?

This problem had started perplexing YL’s employees two weeks ago. The small group of gossipers investigated any person that had any contact with Yan Jin as a potential candidate for consideration as Yan Jin’s partner, from the powerful Nan Family’s young miss to even the elderly woman that had met Yan Jin while sweeping the streets. No matter if it was unreasonable or if they weren’t a good match, the group happily considered every guess.

Sadly, from start to end no one had stumbled on the truth because the people that had come infinitely close to the truth had formed their own group. In their smaller group, their discussions had become extremely frenzied.

So it could be said that the truth could only be grasped by the hands of the few.

It was fine though since the truth didn’t remain a secret for too long.

The subject of their discussions had personally appeared at YL, and Chairman Yan did nothing to hide his romance.

For those who hadn’t dared to confirm Xiao Yu’s relationship with Yan Jin on Xiao Yu’s first day, if by the end of Xiao Yu’s first week they still felt that Xiao Yu just had a normal friendly relationship with Yan Jin, they either had a negative EQ or they had already been covertly fired by Yan Jin.

As for Xiao Yu, his current situation had already become such that no matter how hard he tried to conceal their relationship, his peers only looked at him with eyes that said “I already understand.”
