Chapter 435 Heartless in a CEO Novel (15)
Saturday, another leisurely time.
"Niannian, you've grown taller again, my darling!" Yu Li said to Niannian as she entered the room, putting aside the overflowing stroller and picking up the much-grown Niannian.
Despite only seeing each other for one night, we managed to get some reluctant cooperation from year after year, but it felt like we had gone through eight hundred scenes together.
"Wang-"
"Okay, let's keep our voices down. This time, Great-Grandma brought you some small fish from her own pond. We'll stew them for you right away!"
"Wang-"
Yu Li patted Niannian's head and then went back and forth several times to carry the large and small bags to the kitchen counter.
Most of the items were fruits and vegetables grown by Yu Li's maternal grandparents, along with some carefully dried fruits and fragrant rice wine, all of which Xia Youmi liked.
While cleaning up the two pots, Yu Li also put the vegetables away and neatly arranged them in the refrigerator according to their portions. It was a comfortable arrangement that even someone with OCD would praise.
Every year, she would run back and forth between Xia Youmi's bedroom door and the kitchen. When she heard Xia Youmi getting up, she would quickly run back to Yu Li's feet and bark at him.
I could hear the excitement in his voice.
Yu Li lit another pot, filled it with fragrant, low-alcohol rice wine, added the already boiled glutinous rice balls, sprinkled a spoonful of osmanthus honey, turned off the heat, and served it in a beautiful porcelain bowl.
As soon as Xia Youmi opened the door, she was enveloped in the sweet fragrance of osmanthus blossoms.
"Good morning!"
"It smells so good, Yu Li, are you a flower fairy in disguise?" Xia Youmi murmured softly, her face buried beneath his fair chest.
"Then you can only be my princess."
From this angle, Yu Li's gaze fell directly on Xia Youmi's neck. Hesitating for only a moment, before his girlfriend had fully regained her senses, Yu Li pressed his lips to that patch of skin.
It has a warm, soft, and delicate feel.
"hiss--"
Xia Youmi shivered and subconsciously curled up and shrank back. Before she could say that she was itchy, Yu Li's gaze suddenly shifted.
The height remained the same, but the position changed.
Thick, short black hair brushed against her cheek, the tickling sensation moving to her chin, but the soft kiss continued down to Xia Youmi's barely noticeable Adam's apple. An electric shock-like shiver ran through her entire body; although not a female characteristic, her reaction to an attack was not much different from a man's.
The fragrance and atmosphere were just right.
"Ah......"
Although Yu Li's burial movements were quite strenuous on her back, Xia Youmi's head-up and backward-leaning posture was equally difficult.
I can't quite put my finger on whether I felt a mix of shame and a desire for revenge.
The battleground shifted to the sofa, where Xia Youmi nestled comfortably, tugging at the other person's collar in a defiant manner.
"Hiss—" In the same position, the roles of offense and defense are reversed.
Xia Youmi wasn't exactly gentle; she tentatively outlined the shape with her teeth, while her tongue played a game of hide-and-seek.
"Phew, that's enough rice." Yu Li conceded defeat.
Yu Li stopped moving and looked down, meeting Xia Youmi's eyes, which were filled with accusation and dissatisfaction.
"Um...it was my fault."
Yu Li gently lifted her up and placed her on a high stool at the restaurant bar. She tested the temperature of the sweet fermented rice balls and then fed them to her lips.
The sweet flavor permeates the air, and the meatballs are easy to chew.
After finishing one bowl in no time, Yu Li picked up her own bowl and ate it at three times the speed of Xia Youmi.
I wiped my mouth with a wet wipe and rinsed it off.
I changed positions again and came to Niannian, who had been hiding on the balcony, to check her water bowl and eating.
Afterwards, they went to the guest bedroom to get some clothes, moved to the living room, let the music flow gently, and even assisted each other with stretching in the fitness area. After about half an hour of this, they finally went to the bathroom.
Xia Youmi wasn't exactly light, but Yu Li was incredibly strong in every way, capable of lifting people around.
It can also be lifted up to scare people.
Xia Youmi gradually got used to it. Anyway, in this family, she could be manipulated as she pleased, and she could still manipulate people year after year.
Noticing that his girlfriend was momentarily distracted, Yu Li could only lightly bite her shoulder as punishment, while the music blended in with her gasp.
The misty vapor adds another layer of cloud to the already obscured view.
It made one feel swayed, as if lost in a fog.
......
In the evening, another beautiful sunset appeared.
This time, instead of going for a walk, they each did their own thing and worked together to prepare dinner.
"Quick! I feel like I could swallow a whole mountain of flowers and fruits right now!" Xia Youmi set out the plates and obediently sat down.
Hearing this,
Yu Li paused for three seconds while serving the rice, then added another large spoonful to Xia Youmi's bowl.
"cheers!"
"It's so delicious! I can't get enough of it!" Xia Youmi exclaimed as she savored the drink made with Yu Li's secret fruit wine recipe.
Every year, curious glances were cast at her from the side. She sniffed at the spot where her wine glass was, able to smell a faint fragrance and a refreshing coolness, but she couldn't drink it. She turned her head away, which drew laughter from the other two.
"I'll never get tired of it, I could drink it for a lifetime." Yu Li smiled and took out a box with a simple and elegant design.
"What is it?"
"Grandma gave this to you. I hope you like it and can take it to see her next time." The box slowly opened, revealing a ring inlaid with emerald green jade. But Yu Li's tone was light and not too serious. "I promised Grandma I would try my best, but I know you better. You should just accept it as a collectible. When you're willing to give it meaning with me, then we can change its use."
The atmosphere cooled slightly.
The sound of licking a nutritious meal year after year is softened, as if afraid of disturbing one's thoughts.
Its intuition tells it that it won't accept rice, but once it enters real human society, the first thing it is taught is not to be too rigid and not to assume anyone's behavior.
Gradually, Yu Li became more and more nervous.
He couldn't see Xia Youmi's eyes clearly either. His feigned relaxed smile gradually froze on his face, and he was about to clear his throat to regain his composure.
"Here."
Xia Youmi reached out her hand and taught Yu Li.
I want to see which one he'll choose to wear, though the result should be as expected.
Humility wasn't for this situation. Yu Li grinned foolishly and unhesitatingly slipped his finger onto the other person's ring finger. Out of respect and understanding, he wouldn't impose the elders' high expectations directly on his girlfriend.
But it's impossible for him to say he doesn't want to.
If we don't show our fighting spirit now, when will we?
The ring was a bit too big, but Yu Li didn't try to change her finger to fit it better. Instead, she clasped her hand together with it, showing their close bond.
The green that appeared between the two palms was exceptionally translucent.
At this moment, I feel like I have the whole world in my hands.
On Sunday, after spending enough time together, it was time to share our work changes and thoughts.
Although they weren't always together, communicating about their respective fields had long been a habit.
An outsider's perspective is often clearer; a trustworthy person can often provide more inspiration and direction. This is the successful experience passed down from the previous generation, or even the generation before that.
Building a business always requires concerted efforts.
"Just follow the normal treatment process! People who go to the past are unlikely to be of any help." Xia Youmi had heard that recently, more people had been going to the pet hospital under the guise of being Xia's secretary's colleagues.
It also conveys a mix of true and false messages.
Some would hint to Yu Li that the other party was Xia Youmi's undercover investigator within the company, and that if she wanted to gain the president's trust and establish herself in Shenta, she would need to cultivate good relations with this group of people.
Some of the more capable ones found out about the industries the Yu family was involved in and tried to get close to Yu Li, hoping to benefit from both sides.
These basic tactics of using grandstanding won't fool him.
However, this also reflects that Xia Youmi's job position and current situation are not optimistic. At the very least, she will face a lot of complex scrutiny and suppression in terms of interpersonal relationships.
Therefore, even if others were to talk nonsense to Yu Li, he would listen attentively, hoping to find something that would benefit Xia Youmi.
"Don't worry, just focus on your exams in your free time! I know that once Yu Li starts something, she always wants to do her best. Now that you've accepted the role of a veterinarian, just go for it!"
"I understand," Yu Li said obediently. "But I'm still worried about you. Is there anything I can do to help?"
"There really is one!"
"Be a devoted boyfriend."
"I'm doing it right now, aren't I?"
“It’s not just about doing well in real life, you have to do something exaggerated.” Xia Youmi blinked and laughed. “In short, just hang around in front of my colleagues more often and act a little exaggerated. Like… like you’d be devastated if you didn’t have me.”
"Let them play themselves?"
“No, no, no!” Xia Youmi sighed. “To be honest, I plan to create a persona for myself at the company, someone who is allergic and terrified of other men when they come into contact with them.”
"Who's so difficult to deal with?" Yu Li narrowed his eyes. He knew his girlfriend well. She had had many suitors over the years, but she never showed any difficulty in dealing with this kind of relationship.
So his first reaction was that someone had their eye on his pretty little cabbage.
