Chapter One Hundred and Fifty-Eight: The Evolved Incapable Ruler (1/2)
Xiao Yu got along very well with his colleagues at YL. In fact, it was so good that he would always receive countless greetings of “Hello chief” when traveling between the third and thirtieth floor.
There weren’t many changes in terms of how he interacted with his colleagues compared to how he was at SI. It was only that the attitudes of his YL colleagues were amazing – a far cry from his SI colleagues, that the situation had developed the way it did.
In the hearts of many YL employees, Mr. Mystery was like a god-like character. That was why they viewed Xiao Yu from a viewpoint of a fan, automatically highlighting his merits and dismissing his mistakes as ‘no one is perfect’.
He Xinjia was without a doubt one of the two colleagues who were closest to Xiao Yu. They had known each other for a long time and had similar interests because she was a fujoshi. The other person was Oliver, whose Chinese name was Jing Mo.
Jing Mo was the assistant that Yan Jin had specially arranged to assist Xiao Yu in his work. On the surface, he was there to help Xiao Yu get accustomed to YL in his daily work. In actual fact, he was a spy ordered by the great Chairman Yan to supervise his lover, preventing him from getting asked out for lunch dates by colleagues with ulterior motives.
From a certain perspective, Yan Jin was probably the person with the most ulterior motives.
At least, that was what Xiao Yu always thought whenever Jing Mo told him: “the Chairman is looking for you”.
The event that made Xiao Yu’s relationship with Jing Mo a lot closer was the day he saw Jing Mo’s boyfriend coming to pick him up.
Although Jing Mo looked gentlemanly and studious, his boyfriend was a muscular, 190cm tall man with a buzzcut. While everyone else was covered with a thin jacket because of the recent weather, that man was wearing a short-sleeved shirt, waltzing his way through the doors of the design department. It was a big shock to Xiao Yu who was tidying up the design drafts near the office doorway.
Jing Mo had already packed his things up. While he was helping Xiao Yu tidy up the papers, he had been looking outside the door. When he noticed the person that he was anticipating, he grinned and went up to meet him.
The muscular man pulled Jing Mo into an embrace and shot a cold glance at Xiao Yu.
Xiao Yu: “……”
“Hold your random jealousy. That’s our chief designer.” Jing Mo pinched the man in a reprimanding tone while he indirectly proved their relationship to Xiao Yu.
“I’m not jealous.” The muscular man laughed it off and took another look at Xiao Yu.
Xiao Yu wondered if it was his imagination, but he could sense the taunting in those eyes.
Just as expected, the muscular man’s next sentence proved Xiao Yu’s guess:
“Two bottoms can’t get together anyway.”
Xiao Yu: “……”
I-Is it really that obvious?
In conclusion, after that incident, Xiao Yu’s relationship with Jing Mo had gotten a lot better. Honestly speaking, it was like a friendship that only two bottoms could have.
“So you mean it’s really obvious?”
On a sleepy afternoon, Xiao Yu suddenly asked Jing Mo that question.
Jing Mo answered with another question, “You mean the thing between you and Chairman Yan, or the fact that you’re a bottom?”
Xiao Yu: “…… B-Both.”
“If it’s the first issue, seeing how obviously Chairman Yan had been acting, it’s only natural to notice it. As for the second issue……” Jing Mo gave a slight smile, “It is pretty obvious.”
Xiao Yu: “……”
That’s it. It’s all because of Yan Jin’s indecency.
Daily blame-pushing √
……
Coming back from the design department, Xiao Yu was immediately bathed in Yan Jin’s resentful gaze from the moment he pushed open the chairman’s office doors.
“What took you so long?” Yan Jin nudged the lunch box that was beside his hand, “It’s cold already.”
Xiao Yu then recalled that he had promised Yan Jin he would accompany him for lunch. It was already 1.30pm.
“I chatted with Jia Jia and the gang.”
Yan Jin snorted in an enigmatic manner and pretend to look at his documents again – he was obviously throwing tantrums again.
Xiao Yu was amused. He went up and poked Yan Jin’s arms and reached out for his pants in a spiteful manner. If it was in the past, Yan Jin would have definitely grabbed those mischievous claws and bit them as punishment. However, the jealous Chairman Yan would not relent no matter how he was manhandled. He would only pretend nothing had happened and continued to look through his documents without being distracted.
“Hey, you’re really ignoring me? Isn’t it just being late for an hour.”
Xiao Yu messed around for a while. He originally planned that if Yan Jin ignored him, he would just strip him naked. He did not expect Yan Jin to remain so unfazed that he would quickly feel too bored to continue his actions.
There’s nothing to see anyway. It’s not like I’ve never seen him naked before.
Reluctantly, Xiao Yu was about to properly apologize when he suddenly remembered another issue. Instantly, he dropped the idea of apologizing.
“Wait. In fact, it’s all your fault. You met with Jiajia in private all day long. Otherwise I wouldn’t have ended up talking to her for so long.”
“I met with He Xinjia in private all day long?” Yan Jin repeated.
“And you dare be jealous of everything. Where’s Jiajia? Where did you hide her?” Xiao Yu began to look around the room as if he was determined to search for his colleague.
“Hold on.” Yan Jin sensed that something was amiss and quickly pulled his lover into his arms, struggling to restrain his restless limbs. “Since when have I looked for He Xinjia? And all day long?” he asked innocently.
“Hmph, you’ve finally noticed me? I bet you’re guilty of it.” Xiao Yu adjusted himself into a comfortable position in Yan Jin’s arms and leaned backwards contently. He spoke with displeasure, “Jiajia personally told me that she has been helping out with your orders every single day lately. I even had to sign several days of leave approval for her. Spill it, what is up your sleeve?”
