Chapter 306: Everything Has Changed
"Alright, what I mean is, if you leave, then who's going to help me manage the company?" Chu Yan saw that Zhao Shishi had made up her mind and stopped persuading her. If Zhao Shishi could really find a good man, it would be a good thing for both of them, so she changed the topic.
"You're heartless. I know, I will still help you at the company, but if the annual salary is too low, I won't do it. After all, I have to prepare some dowry for myself!" Zhao Shishi laughed, and then she and Chu Yan left the rooftop, chatting and joking.
Yun Hao, alone and confused in the wind, took a long time to realize what had happened. You guys finished talking, but I didn't even say anything yet. It was supposed to be a conversation among the three of us, but somehow I ended up just being an audience?
No, I wasn't even an audience member because, judging by the looks on their faces, it's as if it didn't matter whether I was there or not!
Yun Hao was depressed. What happened this time upon returning? Why does it feel like an unlucky streak? First Yu Mei didn't want to hang out, and now Zhao Shishi won't include me!
If I had known it would be like this, I wouldn't have picked Zhao Shishi up on her return; at least then there would be some hope!
Feeling down, Yun Hao went downstairs, where Chu Yan and the others had already finished freshening up and were happily having breakfast!
"Go wash your hands!" Yun Hao was about to sit down for breakfast when Chu Yan casually told him. Helplessly, Yun Hao stood up again, went upstairs to freshen up, and after dressing neatly, sat at the table.
"Yun Hao, you'll drive us three to the company today, alright?" Yun Hao had just grabbed a fried dough stick, ready to eat, when Chu Yan's voice rang out again.
"Oh, sure!"
"Then let's go, time's almost up. There's still a lot to do at the company!" No sooner had Yun Hao finished speaking than Chu Yan replied, and then he was escorted to the car by the three ladies!
Looking at the chatterbox Zhao Shishi and Su Qiao in the back seat, and Chu Yan sitting in the front passenger seat, cold as ice, Yun Hao felt he must be still half-asleep. Otherwise, why did the whole world seem different when he woke up?
"Hey, watch the car! Are you trying to murder us?" Absorbed in thoughts, Yun Hao almost crashed into the car ahead, getting cursed by the driver and shouted at by Su Qiao, the little girl.
"If I were trying to murder, you'd be the first. Save you from causing harm in the world!" Yun Hao pretended to glare fiercely at Su Qiao, but she just stuck her tongue out defiantly, completely unbothered by his threat!
The rest of the journey went smoothly, and after dropping off the three young ladies at the company, Yun Hao was about to leave when Chu Yan called him back, saying her secretary had taken a day off and asking him to cover!
Could Yun Hao refuse Chu Yan? Not a chance. Actually, even if he could, he wouldn't dare!
And today, an incident occurred at the company—one that seemed trivial to many: Yu Mei, who had been absent for days, showed up and submitted her resignation!
"Yu Mei resigned." Receiving the resignation letter from a subordinate, Chu Yan glanced at it and told Yun Hao, who was engrossed in translating for her.
"Oh!"
Yun Hao had already anticipated this, so Chu Yan's words didn't surprise him!
Finally, lunchtime arrived, and Yun Hao thought he'd be able to go out to eat, but Chu Yan insisted he remain in the office, saying he couldn't leave until he finished translating the documents on the table!
Damn, isn't this exploitation? With so many documents on the table, forget about today—tomorrow or the day after, he might not even finish translating them all! This is practically abuse!
After Chu Yan left, Yun Hao lay over the desk, pondering if Huaxia Country had laws regarding domestic abuse. But after thinking for a long time, he couldn't come to a conclusion because he wasn't familiar with Huaxia's laws. He resignedly continued translating, tearful-eyed!
"Here, have lunch first!" Not long after, Chu Yan returned, carrying packed meals!
"Darling wife, you finally remembered your hubby hasn't eaten. I thought you'd forgotten all about me!" Yun Hao felt so moved—look, that's a true wife, remembering he hadn't had lunch. No, breakfast either! So Yun Hao was touched enough to hug Chu Yan's thigh, rubbing his face on her silky smooth leg!
"Alright, stop being a child. Hurry up and eat!" Chu Yan was bemused, helping Yun Hao unwrap the packaging and then bringing out two pairs of chopsticks, sharing the meal with him!
"Wife, try this fish. It's especially delicious!"
"Wife, have a bite of meat, don't always eat greens; you'll become malnourished!"
"Indeed. Balanced nutrition ensures healthy growth, especially for the *****'s development!"
...
In the midst of Yun Hao's chatter, they managed to finish the meal!
"Yun Hao, do you think Yu Mei's resignation and Shishi's decision are all my doing behind the scenes?" Chu Yan casually asked, but her beautiful eyes revealed her anxious feelings deep down!
"How could I? In this world, only my wife is the best, even if she doesn't let me have breakfast and makes me work hard, she personally brings me lunch!" Yun Hao's remark seemed normal at first but then sounded like a sarcastic dig at Chu Yan!
"So you're saying I don't feed you, huh? Fine, I'll tell Aunt Wu not to make your share next time!" Chu Yan raised her eyebrows slightly, then calmly said.
"Don't, wife! If you don't feed me, it's domestic abuse, and that's illegal!"
"Not feeding is domestic abuse? What about now?" Before Yun Hao could respond, Chu Yan was already swinging her fists at him, realizing her temper had worsened since being with Yun Hao. He must be influencing her—a classic example of 'you become who you're with.'
"Honestly, Yun Hao, Yu Mei and Shishi's departure really had nothing to do with me. Don't think of me like that, okay?" After a while of hitting him, Chu Yan was tired and sat on the sofa, enjoying Yun Hao's massage while asking.
"Wife, I really don't think of you that way. I anticipated Sister Mei's departure even before she came back. Besides, she and I had no real feelings, it was just impulsive. As for Shishi... Although it's surprising, I'm happy. I'm just thinking, where in this world can she find a guy better than me?"
