The President is Being Shameless Again

Yan Huaian’s chest throbbed with a dull ache, and his tone turned stern. He insisted, saying, “I’ll give you a lift there.”

Yu Zi looked at him in surprise. She did not know why he sounded less than pleased, and he did not look very happy now either. Did she say something that displeased him?

Confused, Yu Zi ran through the things she said, but she could not find anything inappropriate.

Could he be displeased because she declined his offer and his kind intentions?

Yu Zi came into contact with Yan Huaian quite often because of work. Her impression of Yan Huaian was that he was always rather stern, but he was usually quite gentle with her. On the other hand, she had seen him lose his temper at his subordinates before.

He did not take his rage out on them, screaming and yelling. In fact, he never acted out when he was angry.

Instead, his expression would be as cold as ice, and he would look at you with his freezing hard eyes, making you break out in a cold sweat and terrifying you to the point that you would not dare to look at his face.

Of course, when his subordinates messed up their duties and Yan Huaian grew mad at them, he looked much sterner than he did now.

Even so, Yu Zi was still too scared to decline Yan Huaian’s offer again, so she let him send her to Sheng Yue.

While they were in the car, Yu Zi glanced at the clock and saw that they were still early. They would probably arrive at Sheng Yue in time.

As a result of the sudden change in Yan Huaian’s expression earlier, Yu Zi was still a little too scared to look him in the face. The pressure in the car felt a little low and suffocating.

A long time passed, during which she repeated to herself over and over again, ‘He’s the hand that feeds me, he’s the hand that feeds me.’

Taking a deep breath, she decided to ease the current atmosphere.

She faked a chuckle or two and initiated a conversation with Yan Huaian. “Where are you going later, President Yan?”

At first, Yan Huaian just gave her a sideways glance, his side profile hard and cold.

Nevertheless, she had to admit that the man looked very good even with a stony expression.

He just had a habit of exerting pressure on his surroundings every so often, and the mere thought of being with him stressed her out. Yu Zi could not imagine Yan Huaian dating anyone.

Was he going to date someone with an expression that cold?

It was even harder for her to imagine him acting like a normal lover would, talking to his girlfriend in gentle tones and trying his best to cheer her up.

Yu Zi could not help but rub her arms. Just the thought made her feel cold.

Yan Huaian looked at the clock display on his dashboard and said, “I’m going to find a place to eat.”

For some reason, Yu Zi felt like he had stabbed her with those words.

She could tell that he was going out of his way to give her a ride, so it probably would not be right for her to not repay his kindness.

However, she was having her engagement banquet at noon. Only the members of the two families would be there, having a meal together, so how could she invite Yan Huaian to join them?

That was why Yu Zi had no choice but to suppress that thought and pretend she did not understand his hint.

Yan Huaian gave her a glance with his wistful eyes, pursing his elegant and well-shaped lips.

After that, Yan Huaian did not drop Yu Zi at the entrance of Sheng Yue and leave. Instead, he parked his car at Sheng Yue’s carpark, looking as though he had every intention of following her into Sheng Yue.

When they got out of the car, Yu Zi looked at Yan Huaian. She wanted to say something, but then she hesitated.

Yan Huaian’s expression softened. She did not know what he was thinking, but his expression was not as dark as it had been earlier. That look made him completely unapproachable, and it discouraged anyone from even trying to talk to him.

Yu Zi scoffed at him inwardly. Even if he was the hand that fed her, his unpredictable temper made him difficult to deal with.

Just as she was thinking that, his deep and warm voice suddenly said by her ear, “Since I’m already at Sheng Yue, I might as well eat here.”

After all, he had to eat somewhere.

Yu Zi opened her mouth. She wanted to offer to buy him lunch and tell him to put it on her tab, but it did not seem right to try and shoo him away like that.

Who did she think she was? How could she possibly say something like that to the president of Yan Hui?

So she swallowed that idea back down too, walking into Sheng Yue with Yan Huaian.
