Sweet Chief Secretary - Chapter 469

After Xiao Tang went out, Xia Yu sat behind the desk and continued working, when suddenly the door was opened again. Xia Yu looked up and saw Shen Yan walking in. A smile hung at the corners of his mouth and made his cold and severe his features soften. There was pleasure that could not be hidden between his eyebrows. Apparently, he heard just now that Xia Yu didn’t deny she was his girlfriend in front of Xiao Tang.

Seeing the smile at the corners of his mouth, Xia Yu felt a little more pleased in her mind.

Shen Yan, finding that Xia Yu kept staring at him, grinned more brightly and crooked his finger at Xia Yu. “Come here!”

Xia Yu didn’t move, so he walked over. When he was an arm away from Xia Yu, he took Xia Yu’s hand and pulled her hard with his arm. Thus, Xia Yu’s whole body fell into his arms. They were very close, as he could touch Xia Yu’s lips if he lowered his head. Their breath met together, and there was an air of ambiguity around them.

Such a posture was nothing wrong at home, but now they were in the office, and it was a little improper. Xia Yu’s face was red with shame, and she pushed his chest to stand straight after reaching out. But she was tightly held by him and couldn’t move at all. What was more, he lowered his head to kiss her lips, but he only kissed gently and didn’t go further.

“Don’t… This is the office…” Xia Yu slanted her head and immediately found a narrow gap to speak in a low voice shyly.

“You were looking at me with such damp eyes just now. Didn’t that mean you wanted me to kiss you?”

Now there was a sense of evil in Shen Yan’s smile, and his deep eyes were full of smile. As he spoke, he caressed Xia Yu’s lips with his fingers. The temperature of his finger pulps was the same as that of his lips. There seemed to be a low electric current flowing past Xia Yu’s lips, and she felt so limp and numb as if the tip of her heart shivered.

“You got it wrong. I didn’t look at you like that. Let me go. It’s the office and it’s not good for you to do this.” The corners of Xia Yu’s lips twitched. She looked at him in a normal way, but how did he misinterpret it as a desire to kiss him? She pushed against his chest again with her hands.

Suddenly, she thought of something. “Don’t forget that we have broken up…”

“Don’t forget that I didn’t agree.” He kissed Xia Yu’s lips hard with a loud “mwah”. After that, he let go of Xia Yu reluctantly as he wanted more.

As long as he set her free, Xia Yu ran aside like a rabbit immediately.

“Ha-ha!” Shen Yan could still laugh. After kissing Xia Yu, he seemed to be in a better mood.

At this time, Xiao Tang came in and told him that the clients were here. When coming in, she wore an anxious face, but as she saw Shen Yan beaming, her eyebrows were loosened immediately. After letting out a deep breath, she left with a smile.

After the meal, he played golf with the clients. They did a business talk while playing golf. Xiao Tang literally pulled Xia Yu to come together. Xia Yu was unable to refuse, so she went along with them. She had played golf several times, but she was not good at it at all. At first, Shen Yan taught her patiently, but later he found that she was really bad at it, so he let her play as she wanted.

He was in a good mood, however, with a smile.

Those clients came together. Most of them were middle-aged men in their forties or fifties. One of them brought his son here, who was still very young and might be an undergraduate. His father probably wanted him to study by his side.

Except that young man, the youngest one among them was Shen Yan. But when talking business, he was calmer than ever and was as powerful as those who had worked hard in the business world for decades.

“Xiao Tian, you should learn more from Young Master Yan. He is the model of your young generation.” The man patted his son and showed his expectation in his eyes.

The young man who was called Xiao Tian looked at Shen Yan with admiration in his eyes. With blushes on his fair face, he pursed his lips and grunted assent.

“Don’t act like a girl. Say it loudly.” The man was a little discontent with his son’s behavior and said severely.

The blushes on Ji Tian’s face dispersed immediately. He looked at his father with some fear in his eyes and then said loudly, “Yes, father. I will learn more from Young Master Yan.”

“President Ji, I’m flattered. It’s me who should learn from you.” Shen Yan said with a smile and glanced at Xiao Tian.

In the whole afternoon, Ji Tian was very attentive to Shen Yan. Passing the towel to him and handing over the water when he was thirsty, he did all the work that was supposed to be Xiao Tang’s. In the beginning, Xiao Tang didn’t care about it, but later she found that it became weirder and weirder. She observed the young man for a while. His eyes were always fixed on Shen Yan, and he often touched Shen Yan by accident or on purpose.

Xiao Tang became very alert in her mind. She pulled Xia Yu’s sleeve hard and whispered, “That young man called Xiao Tian may be gay!”

Xiao Tang had seen some reports on homosexual people and had some knowledge of them. If the young man was straight, he could also be attentive to Shen Yan out of admiration. But the eyes would not lie. He kept looking at Shen Yan with a sense of desire. Also, sometimes when he talked to Shen Yan, he blushed.

“No way.” Xia Yu didn’t care about it. This boy was just more refined than others. Maybe it was only because he was still young and was forced by his father.

Yet Xiao Tang didn’t agree with Xia Yu. After her long-term careful observation, she was sixty percent sure that Ji Tian might be gay.

Although Shen Yan would never be interested in men, in order to prove that Xiao Tian was not gay, Xia Yu walked to Shen Yan right away and separated him and Ji Tian. But as they were talking business now, Xia Yu couldn’t do much to disturb. So, she kept preventing Xiao Tian from being close to Shen Yan.

One time, two times… Ji Tian’s face got more and more darkened. He started to look at Xia Yu with anger. Such a behavior really proved Xiao Tang’s speculation on his sexual orientation.

It seemed that Shen Yan realized nothing. He kept talking with those presidents.

“I heard that Young Master Yan signed a big deal again. Congratulations!”

“President Liu is so well-informed. I did sign some deals. But compared with some superiors like you, I still have a long way to go.” Shen Yan said humbly. These words gained favor from these presidents at the scene.

They talked so happily that no one noticed the secret battle between Xia Yu and Ji Tian.

“Humph…” Ji Tian snorted coldly. Probably he was tired, so he turned away and headed for the lounge.

Seeing that he left, Xia Yu raised the corners of her mouth at once and appeared to be proud. He was still too young.

Xia Yu was relieved as she saw that Shen Yan was not in danger. Then she went to the bathroom. When she came out, she ran into Ji Tian. It was not a coincidence. He came for Xia Yu on purpose. Seeing his long face, Xia Yu’s heart jolted. Did he come to take revenge?

“Miss Xia, you have broken up with Young Master Yan, right?” He asked Xia Yu coldly.

“It’s none of your business.” Xia Yu was calm and didn’t show her speculations about him on her look.

“You seem to be mad at me.” His eyes were like two knives coming towards Xia Yu.

Xia Yu smiled at once. “How come? Young Master Ji must have misunderstood something. You are all the guests of Ruyi Tower today, and I ought to treat you well.” Saying this, she tried to go out but was blocked by Ji Tian.

“What are you doing, Young Master Ji?” Xia Yu frowned and looked at the young man in front of her. Her tone became cold.

He had Xia Yu cornered. With unfriendly eyes, he said severely, “Did you do that just now on purpose? You deliberately prevented me from talking to Young Master Yan and interacting with him.”

At this moment, only a fool would admit. Xia Yu shook her head at once. “Young Master Ji, you have an overactive imagination.”

“You did that on purpose. You still love Young Master Yan, don’t you?” Young Master Ji stared at Xia Yu as if he wanted to see her through. “Don’t forget that it is you who cheated on him first so that Young Master Yan broke up with you. Now that you have chosen Young Master Li, you should stick to him. Don’t be so greedy.”

These words sounded so jealous! Was this boy really gay? Xia Yu didn’t discriminate against gay people but did not support them, either. Ji Tian was the only child of President Ji. His father would be so sad if he found his son was this kind of person.

“Young Master Ji, please mind your wording. It’s not only about my fame but also Young Master Li’s.” Xia Yu said seriously.

“Am I wrong? Young Master Li spent so many days advertising, and all the people in S city knew it. I think you should remember who you are. You really want to be a two-timer? I advise you to give it up. Young Master Yan will never agree to it.” Ji Tian looked at Xia Yu with contempt. His scolding words were even more vicious than a woman’s.

“Young Master Ji, you don’t have to care about who I love.” Xia Yu’s face was also darkened. Now that their conversation got disagreeable, she pushed him at once and wanted to leave.

Although Ji Tian was young and looked refined, he was a man anyway and had more strength than Xia Yu. She didn’t succeed in pushing him away but was firmly pressed against the wall by his grip on her hands. They were so close that others would misunderstand what was happening when seeing this scene.

“Young Master Ji, what on earth do you want to do?” Xia Yu looked at him helplessly.

“I want you not to interrupt me and Young Master Yan.” This sounded childish, but his amber eyes were glaring at Xia Yu.

“What are you doing?” Xia Yu was about to speak when she heard that an extremely angry voice came from behind Ji Tian. It was from Shen Yan. Ji Tian’s tall figure blocked Xia Yu’s sight. But even though she could not see Shen Yan, she could still guess that he must be wearing a gloomy face now.

Before Ji Tian could realize what happened, his body was pulled away by Shen Yan with force. The force was so great that he fell to the ground directly with a shocked face.

Shen Yan held Xia Yu’s waist possessively. He glanced at her whole body and then looked at Ji Tian who was still at a loss on the ground. He frowned and asked unhappily, “What were you trying to do to her just now?”

“He didn’t want to do anything to me. You got it wrong, and I will explain to you concretely later.” Xia Yu hurried to give Shen Yan a wink. Just now she was cornered by Ji Tian. Although he was making trouble for her, Shen Yan didn’t hear their conversation, so the posture was very misleading. Xia Yu whispered the last sentence in Shen Yan’s ear.

The expression on Shen Yan’s face was eased, but his look at Ji Tian still had a sense of coldness and precaution.

Ji Tian now had stood up from the ground. With his eyes and mouth opened wide, he said in a sharp voice, “Young Master Yan, you and her…” He pointed at Shen Yan with his fingers and then at Xia Yu. He didn’t say the next words, as if he thought it too unbelievable.

“She is my girlfriend.” After saying this, Shen Yan left while holding Xia Yu’s waist. After taking a few steps, Xia Yu couldn’t help looking back at Ji Tian. His expression was even more shocked than before. It could even be said to be devastated.

“Now can you tell me what happened?” Shen Yan’s eyes were quietly squinted. He put a little bit of force into his hand on Xia Yu’s waist and pinched her. The flesh at the waist was soft. Thus, though it was a light pinch, it still hurt. Xia Yu let out a cry.

“This is the case…” Xia Yu was about to tell him when someone called Shen Yan to play golf. That man also said that President Liu had holed already. Xia Yu pushed him and said smilingly, “Go ahead. I will tell you after we return. He really did nothing to me. Relax.”
