The Female CEO Falls in Love with Me

Chapter Ninety-Two: Squeezing onto the Bus

(Today, there are 74 monthly passes. Tomorrow, there will definitely be an additional update past three quarters of the night! If 13 more brothers offer their monthly passes, then I have to add two more updates, making it a total of five updates, haha. Brothers with tickets, feel free to use them. This is a very crucial moment.)

After dinner with Hai Fu, Li Yan went home by himself. Considering that meddling in too many matters would invite trouble, he decided to stay home and not go anywhere, even turning off his phone to spend the weekend at home. Zhang Yurong found it odd that he was staying home so obediently. Seeing that he didn't drive the car back, she suspected he might have run into some trouble.

During breakfast on Monday morning, Zhang Yurong couldn't help but ask, "Did you crash your car and take it for repairs?"

"Car? No. I parked it at the company."

Zhang Yurong looked at him, puzzled. Parking the car at the company and then taking a cab home — could he have been confused? She quickly thought of another question.

"I'm not used to taking people; if you don't have a car, figure out your own way."

Taking a cab back isn't an issue, but to leave from here, you have to walk out of this villa area to catch a bus, and taxis rarely wait around here.

Li Yan looked at her with a half-smile, "What? Do you think I want to get closer to you, so I'm deliberately creating opportunities to hitch a ride?"

Zhang Yurong felt a bit embarrassed and awkward. After all, they're a married couple, and if he really wants to get closer, it's originally a good thing, something she herself isn't proactive about. Rejecting him like this seems a bit extreme...

"Don't worry! If I took your car to work and the pretty girls at the company saw, wouldn't they be heartbroken? They would lose a secret crush. For the sake of company harmony, I won't be so high-profile." Li Yan teased.

Zhang Yurong was speechless and internally cursed his thick skin, but his joke did ease her awkwardness.

"Did your friends say your car was no good? How about buying a new one? A Porsche, or maybe a Ferrari..."

Hearing this, Li Yan was a bit surprised. Since when did my wife become so concerned about me? Suddenly giving me a sports car — is it genuine kindness or a trick?

Zhang Yurong avoided his gaze, lowered her head to drink her porridge, and vaguely explained, "I just think... if you drive a better car, others won't dare to bully you... You're a good driver, right? Driving a sports car would be... more, more convenient for chasing girls!"

Li Yan thought for a moment and understood her intentions. She probably felt that with two Mercedes cars in the company and home, her husband driving a small QQ seemed too shabby and might hurt his male pride. Since there was no emotional foundation and it was difficult to fulfill the duties of a wife or make the relationship public, it's better to make up with material aspects.

This amused Li Yan a bit. If I were really that fragile, I wouldn't have agreed to this in the first place. I would have run away long ago!

Seeing her say one thing and mean another, he couldn't help but tease her a bit. "Hmm, you're right. Ye Jiahong thinks of himself as a diamond bachelor, coveting my wife. Like him, there are quite a few in the company, so I should get a luxury car to shock them, to let them know I'm also a charming diamond man..."

"..."

Although she was speechless, Zhang Yurong couldn't help but feel a slight, unusual sweetness in her heart. After being married for nearly half a year, they've both been minding their own business. She never meddled in his outings and he never interfered with her daily office deliveries of anonymous or public flowers. But now, saying this... is he jealous?

As the number one beauty in Paradise Group and the goddess admired by everyone in the company, Zhang Yurong grew up surrounded by praise and could handle it calmly. Whether it was from her own company or other successful men's advances, she ignored them all. Especially after getting married, she was never even slightly moved. Of course, her cheap husband, Li Yan, with plenty of faults and hard-to-find virtues, was completely ignored.

But over time, being adored by many outside yet not receiving recognition from her ordinary husband, she felt somewhat desolate or unwilling. Now, for the first time, hearing Li Yan indirectly express his displeasure towards other men, gave her a small sense of being valued.

While she secretly appreciated this tiny satisfaction, Li Yan continued, "But comparing with them is meaningless. Although the company has many beauties, they all look down on everyone. The cost doesn't match the benefits... Tsk tsk..."

"..."

Zhang Yurong put down her spoon, looked up seriously, and said, "After careful consideration, I think a Porsche or Ferrari is too high-profile. You haven't achieved anything at the company, and driving such a good car to work with a dead-end salary will make people suspect you have unspeakable motives. Forget it, choose one in the ten to two hundred thousand range instead!"

So much for giving me more capital to chase girls — reveals the true colors! Li Yan secretly amused, said sternly, "Just joking, no need to buy a car. I just want to experience what it's like squeezing onto a bus..."

"Hmph!" Zhang Yurong's recently lifted mood was disrupted by his demeanor, leaving her face colder, preferring not even to scold him!

Li Yan had already left with a big laugh.

...

For Li Yan, squeezing onto a bus for work wasn't unfamiliar, just hasn't experienced it since moving here. When coming back yesterday, he specifically noted the nearest bus stop, which didn't seem far. But now walking, he realized, it's really not close!

Finally arriving at the stop and waiting for the bus, that ride was already crowded with people.

Because Li Yan's journey wasn't short and required a transfer in the city center, during rush hours with few getting off and many getting on, he was eventually crammed and couldn't move easily.

"Stop squeezing..."

A woman's voice complained, shocking everyone and drawing all eyes over. Seeing a young woman, grabbing onto a handrail with one hand and a bag on her shoulder, with the swaying making her other hand's milk drink spill a bit. Embarrassed by everyone's gaze, she lowered her head.

When people quietly returned to gazing outside, Li Yan noticed a middle-aged man squeezing next to that young woman, eyes seriously looking out the window, but body leaning towards her with the vehicle's movements.

Horse's! The legendary bus pervert!

This is the time for a hero to save the beauty!

Just when Li Yan was about to step in and shout, he saw the young woman skillfully angle the milk in her hand, immediately squirting a stream of milk over the middle-aged man squeezing behind her. Then she put the milk box into her bag and appropriately exclaimed "Ah!"

This time, not as bold as before, didn't attract as much attention, but those who looked over noticed the sleazy man behind the girl.

The middle-aged man, reminiscent of Cao Charley, felt extremely embarrassed, wishing he could immediately get off the bus. But the young woman who spilled milk on him, now watched disdainfully, not explaining it was accidental. Without explanation, he seemed like a bus pervert — although he intended to, he didn't actually touch her! What to say in explanation?

He could only pretend, "Miss, you accidentally spilled on me..."

The young woman disdainfully retorted, "Do you want me to clean it up for you too?"

The words left everyone despising the sleazy man, even an idiot could tell who spilled on who.

Seeing the entire scene, Li Yan silently admired the young woman's alertness and decisive action.

At the next stop, the middle-aged man, under staring eyes of disdain and contempt, immediately got off. Though the bus was still packed, the atmosphere changed noticeably. No more bus perverts, even with inevitable touches, no man dared to lean, instead stabilizing their positions, only able to squeeze against male passengers.

...

This bus couldn't directly reach Paradise Group. After entering a section of the city, transferring was needed. But it was Li Yan's first time on this route, unsure at which stop to transfer, he planned to disembark at a stop with many buses.

Reaching a stop, seeing few passengers outside, evidently not a large one with many buses, Li Yan didn't move. The woman who dealt with the bus wolf walked to the back door to get off, suddenly pulled the still immobile Li Yan, "Get off, it's your stop!"

Li Yan was stunned. He didn't know the girl at all and didn't expect her to pull him off the bus. Others were also puzzled, clearly they weren't friends, else would've earlier assaulted the sleazy man together.

However, frequent bus takers understood that if someone noticed a thief targeting you, experienced kind people often use other methods to alert you to avoid getting retaliated against. Everyone suspected Li Yan was near a pickpocket, becoming immediately wary.

Li Yan hadn't noticed anyone stealing, wasn't thinking along those lines. Seeing everyone's reactions, helplessly decided to step off with the girl to clarify. (To be continued, for the rest of the story, please log on to www.qidian.com for more chapters. Support the author, support legal reading!)
