第 41 章
Public
Due to the extra few days of delay from the business trip, Yu Huan had a pile of work to handle at the start of the week.
There was a limit to how much Chen Yilin could help her.
Yu Huan looked up wearily from the computer and went to make coffee for the third time today. As she passed by the front desk, she saw Chen Yilin socializing and gossiping with their colleagues.
There were four people gathered at the front desk. In addition to Chen Yilin, there was Niettie, who was always agitated in the afternoon, Amy, an expert at slacking off, and Roger, who was holding his briefcase and might be going out.
While chatting about the office gossip these days, they were peeling lychees.
The lychee were from Chen Yilin.
Early this morning, he gave everyone in the office lychees and said that his uncle had the driver bring them to him. He couldn’t finish the two large boxes, so he brought it in for everyone to try.
It was a new kind that had just hit the market. It was sweet and tasted juicy.
Yu Huan also received some and had put it on her desk without really eating any. It was because she had eaten some last night after Gao Yan had personally delivered it.
The way Chen Yilin ate them was a bit special. He ate it with soy sauce.
“What’s this weird way you’re eating it?” Yu Huan was tired. She couldn’t help it and went over to relax.
Amy quickly nodded and said, “I said the same thing, but look, there’s a following for it.”
Niettie glanced at her and said, “Eating it this way means there won’t be too much heat.”
Roger also nodded.
Although Yu Huan had known about this food combination a long time ago, she had not seen anyone around her who did that.
Lychee and soy sauce were completely incompatible things. They were contradictions no matter how one looked at it. Chen Yilin still enjoyed eating it that way.
Yu Huan couldn’t understand. Chen Yilin saw her staring and asked, “Do you want to try it?”
As he spoke, he picked up a plump lychee from the plate. He peeled the shell and dipped it into the soy sauce, and handed it to Yu Huan.
To prevent the sauce from dripping, he held it with his other hand cupped. He said passionately, “Like this, the lychee flavor is deeper.”
Yu Huan hesitated a bit, but when she saw that everyone else was eating the lychees, she opened her mouth.
Just after taking a bite, the glass door opened with a “ding dong” sound. Fred and Gao Yan came through the corridor.
Yu Huan quickly reached out to take the lychee in Chen Yilin’s hand. She wrapped it in a paper towel, and hid it behind her back.
Chen Yilin turned around and greeted, “Uncle.”
Even though everyone was quite free this week, gathering at the front desk to gossip would more or less affect the company’s image.
She calmly stepped back a few steps and threw the wrapped lychee into the trash can. Niettie also carefully reached over and pushed the plate with the lychee away, moving it to a less viewable position.
Fred, of course, noticed what they were doing.
As soon as he walked through the door, he saw such a large group of people gathered at the front desk that he couldn’t ignore them.
He gave Niettie a warning look and nodded to the rest so that they got the hint. Then, he calmly talked to Gao Yan and walked on.
Gao Yan stopped and walked towards Chen Yilin.
“Are you having a break with your colleagues?” Gao Yan looked around the front desk. “Are you used to working here?”
“It’s alright.” Chen Yilin was a bit nervous.
He wasn’t a paid employee, so he didn’t feel guilty about slacking off at work. However, it was different for the others, especially Niettie.
“It’s been great,” he quickly added, fearing that his response might affect the others. “Everyone takes care of me well. In just one month, I have learned a lot.”
“That’s good.” Gao Yan nodded and turned his gaze to Yu Huan.
Oh, no! President Gao must have seen Chen Yilin feeding Yu Huan a lychee just now.
Niettie caught a glimpse of Gao Yan’s somewhat displeased look and had to give a concerned glance to Yu Huan. It was like she was saying Please quickly think of an explanation.
President Gao asked you to take care of his nephew, and you’ve been kind enough to ruin his young mind. Right now you’ve been caught in the act
Roger and Amy had the same thoughts as Niettie.
During Chen Yilin’s internship, his relationship with Yu Huan was obvious to everyone. He asked her to help him with his necktie, he worked overtime with her every day, and if he had nothing to do, he would bring her something delicious…
President Gao had a lot of experience, and he must have been able to tell with one glance.
They watched Gao Yan walk towards Yu Huan step by step. They were all nervous for Yu Huan.
Who would have thought that when Gao Yan walked up to Yu Huan, he took a napkin and wiped the corner of her lips.
“There is soy sauce on your mouth,” Gao Yan said. His voice had a gentle tone that no one present had ever heard of before.
Niettie and Amy looked at each other, both suspecting that they had imagined it. Even Roger was somewhat in disbelief and had turned his gaze to Chen Yilin.
At this moment, Gao Yan said to Yu Huan, “I’m going to a dinner party with Fred tonight. When you’re finished, call me and I’ll pick you up.”
What is this situation? Call him? Pick you up?
Why did this sound like a couple already dating?
This time, everyone stopped looking at each other and turned their eyes to Yu Huan all at once.
Yu Huan was very helpless.
During the last business trip, Gao Yan wanted to tell Chen Yilin. She persuaded him not to, saying that it was not a good time, and he never mentioned it again.
She thought that they had reached an understanding. She was not going to disclose the relationship until they were more stable.
She never thought Gao Yan would come here and make their relationship public.
But for now, she had to think of their reputation while under everyone’s stares.
“Okay,” Yu Huan had to answer. She picked up the coffee cup and quickly left under Fred’s playful gaze and the stunned expressions from the rest.
When she returned to the office, the group chat where Fred and Rhys were blocked from had exploded.
Niettie and Amy shared what they had just seen with the others. Everyone was mentioning her and asked her to truthfully explain when and how she had hooked up with Gao Yan.
Even Chen Yilin sent a private message asking her if she was really dating his uncle.
