Chapter One Hundred and Sixty-One: Assets That Could Not Be Given (1/2)

Since it was a deal that had once warranted further consideration, it should not be a problem if it got approved, right?

Xiao Yu argued with himself as he carefully pressed Yan Jin’s official stamp on the document.

Normally, Yan Jin would not personally go to business meetings for a collaboration project like this. After he gave his approval for the projects, he would leave the meetings to his subordinates and straightaway sign off on the contracts when they got back to him. Xiao Yu planned that he would tag along for the business meetings and if he was in luck, he could possibly catch Lin Zhou at the scene.

When everything got settled, he would apologize to Yan Jin for his mistake, act cute or something – it should be easy to pull it off.

Next, Xiao Yu placed the now approved document to the bottom of the other approved ones. He took stiff steps back to his desk and hid himself behind the computer as he sneakily looked towards the door.

……

“Feeling better?”

Yan Jin who had concluded the meeting swiftly, showed his concern for Xiao Yu’s condition.

“What?” Xiao Yu did not understand.

“Didn’t you say that you’re not feeling well? Are you feeling better?”

Yan Jin reached out to put his hand over Xiao Yu’s forehead but was quickly blocked by Xiao Yu.

“Don’t, I’m fine already. I’m just feeling tired from looking at the drawings for too long. I’m all pumped now.” Xiao Yu looked everywhere else but at his lover – a very typical guilty behavior.

Nobody would believe such clumsy acting, let alone Yan Jin.

The chairman narrowed his eyes as he began to recall how he got duped before the meeting.

In fact, the reason he had been duped was very simple – concern blinds a person’s heart, and not even he could escape that fate.

“Why are you staring into space? Shoo, shoo.” Xiao Yu began to physically move him away.

Yan Jin played along as he got pushed into his seat. At one glance, he could tell that someone had touched his working desk.

While the He family’s technological research nowadays was no longer limited to improving a person’s memory, Yan Jin’s memory power was still abnormally outstanding in comparison. Especially when it comes to sensitive things such as his working desk and confidential documents.

“Are you sure that you’re fine?” Yan Jin asked once again as precaution.

“I am, I am. Carry on with what you’re supposed to do and don’t affect my work.” Xiao Yu replied.

Okay then.

Yan Jin pretentiously went through two files of document and caught sight of a very nervous Xiao Yu just as expected.

If his furry ears were out now, the pair of pitiful looking ears would be upright stiff due to fear of exposing himself.

It should be illegal to be so adorable.

Of course, it was a little pity that he could not see them now.

Yan Jin suppressed his evil thoughts and pretended that he did not notice anything wrong and carried on typing away on his keyboard.

The office’s atmosphere got obviously less tense as Xiao Yu let out a big sigh of relief. He could finally focus on his work now.

Half an hour later, the colleagues from the design department called for Xiao Yu. Without saying anything to Yan Jin, he went straight out the office doors and quietly closed the doors behind him.

Yan Jin, who seemed like he had not noticed anything, pulled out the document from the very bottom of the stack.

With a few glances, Yan Jin could already guess the whole picture. In fact, even if he had not looked at the document, Yan Jin could even guess what had happened. After all, things that would make Xiao Yu put in so much effort were most definitely related to SI and Lin Zhou.

Compared to Xiao Yu, Yan Jin’s grievances with Lin Zhou went even further back in time. Initially, the reason why Yan Jin had not taken any actions was to observe what the real boss behind Lin Zhou was trying to do. If he missed the chance to pull the weeds up by its roots, it would only make things even more complicated in the future. That was why he did not make any careless moves.

However, not making a careless move did not mean that he could not make any move.

All Xiao Yu needed to do was ask.

There would be no concerns for gains and losses, right or wrong.

No matter what his wish was, he would fulfil it for him – Yan Jin was confident of that.

Flipping to the last page where the signatures were required, Yan Jin looked at the slightly smudged stamp and felt his heart wrench a little.

*Sigh* When will his Fishy learn to trust him a little more.

Well it was one thing to not have trust in him, but at least Xiao Yu should be more scheming when it came to fighting for his own benefits. It’s so heart-wrenching to see him so pitiful.

It was just a contract. Did he look like one of those strictly impartial and incorruptible people who would not care for their loved ones?

He had obviously already told Xiao Yu that he was a person who practiced extreme favoritism.

As Yan Jin’s boyfriend, not only did he never ask for mansions, expensive cars, or branded watches. Xiao Yu had even only spent two thousand dollars from the secondary credit card Yan Jin had given him, and it was for a department lunch gathering? What the hell?

Seriously, couldn’t Xiao Yu just fulfil his wish and declare his authority over his lover?

When Xiao Yu was still a hamster, just as Xiao Yu’s owner, Yan Jin would give up on a contract worth eighty million dollars. Now that his pet had upgraded to his lover, as Xiao Yu’s legal boyfriend, Yan Jin didn’t feel that Xiao Yu was getting the privilege that he should have as a world-class rich and powerful person. Even when he gave Xiao Yu a necktie, he would receive a return gift from him. The moment they mentioned assets, Xiao Yu would begin to feign ignorance and divert the topic.

When it came to asset ownership, their country required the actual person’s approval. So if Xiao Yu was to reject him, even if Yan Jin had all the riches of the land on hand, he could never give any of them to his lover.

There had to be something wrong somewhere.
