Rogue Nouveau Riche (42)

After meeting his parents, Xing Yan became obviously more unscrupulous.

Xing’s father had long been impatient because he had been helping to see the company for a month. As soon as his son came back, he immediately became the hands-off shopkeeper. Xing Yan had to go to the company to check in every day.

But before he and Jiang Rui confirmed their relationship, he would get off work early every day and go to the orchestra to wait for people downstairs. Now, they were justified, he had become more confident.

Even when he was at work, he could call the person whenever he wanted, and sometimes he would video chat with Jiang Rui while he was working.

He was so proud and high-spirited that anyone with a keen eye could see. Everyone at the company headquarters was secretly discussing his boss’s love affair. There were several senior executives who were close to Xiao Lin and even started gossiping with him when they met.

Xiao Lin was sometimes stressed out. Seeing that his boss had no intention of hiding anything, he just revealed a little bit. So, the employees at the headquarters knew that the boss’s girlfriend played music, had a better family background than the boss, was beautiful, and had a good temperament.

Not long ago, their boss took an unprecedented vacation to pursue his girlfriend. He followed people all over China and finally achieved success.

Many employees were stunned. This was the real-life version of a domineering president falling in love with the woman.

After hearing this, Xiao Lin couldn’t help but murmur, the boss could be called a resolute and domineering president at work, but when facing Miss Shen, he treated Miss Shen like a treasure and a little beauty at every mouthful. He is still a domineering president, and the tired president is more or less the same.

While he was cursing, he knocked on the door of his boss’s office. As soon as he opened the door and walked in, he heard his boss say: “Wait for me, Baby.”

Anyone who didn’t know this would be shocked and thought the boss was calling him. Xiao Lin was not surprised and glanced at the desk. Sure enough, he saw that the phone was put up and the boss was video chatting with Miss Shen again.

“If you are busy, I will hang up.” A cold and sweet voice came from the mobile phone.

Xing Yan hurriedly said: “Don’t hang up, don’t hang up, I’ll be right away.” He gestured to Xiao Lin with his eyes, asking him to speak quickly if he had something to say, put down documents if he had any, and make a quick decision.

Jiang Rui said: “You concentrate on your work. I’m going to help Grandma pick Osmanthus flowers.”

Old Mrs. Shen took care of the flowers and plants in the Shen family’s yard herself and did not borrow any help from others. Now that she was older, she would help out whenever Jiang Rui was at home.

“No, Baby, leave it to me to pick the sweet-scented osmanthus. Tell Grandma that I will go after getting off work. Remember to ask Nanny Xu to cook my meal.”

“Then, you should work more seriously and come to me as soon as possible.” Jiang Rui advised.

Xing Yan lowered his eyebrows and looked at her eagerly, “Okay, okay, then you kiss me.”

Xiao Lin wanted to cough twice to remind his boss that he was still standing here, but unfortunately, he couldn’t. Not only he couldn’t, but also he had to minimize his presence.

Fortunately, compared to the boss, Miss Shen’s integrity was obviously more guaranteed. She flatly rejected the boss’s unreasonable request and then cut off the video neatly.

“Alas…” Xing Yan sighed at the phone, looked up at Xiao Lin, and said with another stepmother’s face: “Hurry up, if you have anything unfinished today, bring it over!”

On the other side, Jiang Rui put down her phone and went downstairs to find Old Mrs. Shen.

After returning from the tour, she got another vacation. She had previously mentioned to the person in charge that she wanted to resign, but the group wanted her to stay for a while and wait until the European tour ends next month before leaving. Anyway, it didn’t take long, so Jiang Rui agreed.

“Grandma, let Xing Yan pick the sweet-scented osmanthus later.”

“Xiao Yan is coming?” The old lady asked.

Since the official visit, Xing Yan obviously did not regard himself as an outsider. He came to the Shen family every three days to report, which was more punctual than going to the company.

Jiang Rui nodded, “He said that he would come after work. I’ll ask Nanny Xu to cook more.”

When she came back from the kitchen, Old Mrs. Shen hesitated and said, “Xiao Yan is also a guest, so it’s not appropriate to let him do the work every time he comes.”

A few days ago, a typhoon blew down a loquat tree. Xing Yan also came over and found two wooden sticks to prop it up.

Jiang Rui took her hand and said, “If grandma treats him as a guest, he will be unhappy. Since he is willing to take the initiative to help, don’t think too much about it.”

Old Mrs. Shen smiled and said, “I think he is also a real child.”

Xing Yan came to the door at around four o’clock, picked two baskets of sweet-scented osmanthus with Jiang Rui, and then went to take a shower despite being covered in sweat.

Old Mrs. Shen especially prepared a room for him, although Xing Yan really wanted to share a room with the little beauty. But now it was not easy for the Shen family to have a room with him. Under the nose of Old Mr. Shen, he could only think about it. He had intention but no courage.

After dinner, Old Mr. Shen went out to find someone to play chess with, and Old Mrs. Shen also made an appointment to talk to her old sisters.

Jiang Rui and Xing Yan moved two chairs under the sweet-scented osmanthus tree. Their heads were touching each other, holding hands, smelling the scent of sweet-scented osmanthus brought by the breeze, and admiring the sunset in the sky.

“Baby, look at that cloud, does it look like a horse’s head?”

“No mane, hippopotamus?”

Xing Yan smiled and said, “Hippos are also horses.”

Hippopotamus and horses are obviously two different things, but Jiang Rui didn’t argue with him and looked up at the stars that were beginning to appear faintly in the sky.

Another person was very restless next to her. He held her hand for a while and looked at her finger by finger under the lamp. After a while, he would pick up a strand of her hair and smell the fragrance, look at it, smell it, and finally, he would start to kiss it.

Fortunately, he still knew that Nanny Xu was still at home and that Old Mr. Shen and Old Mrs. Shen might come back at any time, so he just pecked at her like a dragonfly.

Jiang Rui had become accustomed to such small movements.

“You smell so good, Baby.” Xing Yan said into her hair.
