"Wife?"
Su Yu was still pondering Su Yan's intentions when the door behind him was pushed open without his noticing.
Ji Yanli walked up to him in a few strides, grabbed his wrist, and pursed his lips into a straight line.
"Have you been avoiding me these past few days?"
The man's eyes were dark and gloomy, staring intently at his face, the faint red at the corners of his eyes revealing extreme grievance.
"I came to bring you some documents."
Su Yu used a little force to free his wrist from his grasp and placed the documents in his arms on the table.
Normally,
Ji Yanli practically clung to Su Yu, but this time he was truly wronged.
He disregarded his image, gripping Su Yu's arms tightly, his breath coming in short gasps.
"What did I do wrong? Why are you avoiding me? Is it because of that day…"
Mentioning it only fueled Su Yu's anger.
"You dare say that! Didn't I tell you not to? Did you listen?"
Ji Yanli lowered his eyes,
"Wife… I just wanted to be close to you."
"Alright, if you don't want me to bother you, stop talking nonsense and sign the documents first."
This tactic was extremely effective.
Ji Yanli absentmindedly released his grip, hearing the harshness in his voice, his nasal tone much heavier,
"I was wrong, wife, I won't do it again."
[Just kidding, you'll do it again next time.]
[Pretending to be a wronged puppy, but actually, when your wife bothers you, you just want to lock him up and investigate him to death.]
[I really want to see the puppy turn on you. When will we get to the dark room scene?]
[Three days and three nights! In the dead of night!]
Su Yu's heart skipped a beat, and he took a step back, prioritizing his life over danger.
His gaze was fixed on the handsome face intently reviewing the contract.
Ji Yanli's eyelashes were long and trembled slightly as his gaze moved, his lips appearing indifferent.
Sensing his gaze, Ji Yanli looked up at him, his eyes brimming with grievance, his lips downturned, looking like a dog whose food had been snatched from a tiger's mouth.
Could this amnesiac, stupid man really be the one described in the comments?
A flicker of doubt crossed Su Yu's mind.
"Wife, it's signed. Any reward?"
Taking advantage of a little kindness, he was just like a dog.
Su Yu took back the documents, his heart hardening slightly.
"This is what you should do. What reward have I given you? I haven't seen you give me a raise."
Ji Yanli remained unmoved.
"Then I'll give you a raise. You'll have dinner with me today."
Su Yu swallowed hard, thinking of the exquisite refreshments.
"Dinner my foot! I have things to do today. Maybe next time."
It wasn't an excuse; he genuinely had things to do.
The phone in his pocket felt faintly warm against his trouser leg, it contained the video he had just recorded.
This was rightfully Ji Yanli's responsibility.
He hadn't figured out how to repay the kindness of bringing him meals when he was a child, and now was the perfect opportunity, but Su Yu hesitated.
His mother's will was still in Su Yan's hands.
If his undercover work was exposed, Ji Yanli would investigate thoroughly, and Su Yan would no longer need his help, meaning he wouldn't be able to retrieve the will.
This video still had a significant purpose before being shown to Ji Yanli.
Rejected decisively, Ji Yanli's hidden tail drooped, his face darkening.
"Fine."
Su Yu increasingly felt this matter couldn't be delayed any longer.
"Alright, I have something to do, I'll go out first. Remember to lock the door next time you go out, don't act like an idiot, needing me to remind you of everything."
With that, Su Yu rushed out of the office.
It was lunchtime, and he should have been in Ji Yanli's office by now.
A text message naturally arrived: [Wife, come eat.]
Su Yu glanced at the message, casually put his phone in his pocket, and didn't reply.
Although he had just chatted with someone, it didn't mean he was completely unmoved.
He wanted to stay away from Ji Yanli, he'd been feeling strange lately.
His well-behaved colleague downstairs was already waiting for him in the company cafeteria.
He was a new recruit in the marketing department, said to have been transferred from headquarters.
He was mild-mannered and reserved, and Su Yu, who frequently visited, had become quite familiar with him.
The new recruit, Lin Yuan, dressed in a crisp white shirt, waved from a distance, his water cup occupying a table.
Although the food wasn't as good as what Su Yu ate in Ji Yanli's office, it was still decent.
For convenience, most employees ate here, and if you didn't get there early at lunchtime, there wouldn't be a seat.
"We have sweet soup today,"
Lin Yuan pointed to a window serving refreshing mung bean soup.
Su Yu didn't like sweet things and waved his hand, indicating he didn't.
The two got their food separately and sat down at the table.
Lin Yuan reached for his chopsticks and moved the food from his plate to the side, making room for white rice.
"Xiao Yu, did you and President Ji have a falling out?"
Su Yu paused, his chopsticks still.
"Why do you say that?"
Lin Yuan gave a shy smile.
"Nothing, I just heard you used to eat with President Ji, why are you eating in the cafeteria now?"
"Who told you that?"
Su Yu picked at the food on his plate.
"Nobody."
People in the company always gossip, so it's normal for Lin Yuan to know these things.
Su Yu didn't want to discuss this topic.
After taking a bite, he shifted his gaze to the surrounding area, watching the employees coming and going with their plates.
In just that casual glance, he spotted a man in black in the crowd.
The figure was extremely familiar, and the man was wearing a hooded sweatshirt.
He was getting food from a window not far away.
Su Yu's chopsticks stopped, his eyes fixed on the person not far away.
He looked too familiar.
He took out his phone and open the video, comparing the differences between the two.
Exactly the same, it was him.
Su Yu stood up from the table, startling Lin Yuan, who looked up at her.
"What's wrong, Xiao Yu?"
"That person, do you know him?"
Su Yu didn't act rashly, gripping her phone tightly.
Just as she was about to take a picture, the man finished getting his food and turned around, only managing to capture a side profile.
Lin Yuan blinked, turning back and squinting.
He was nearsighted and it took him a while to find the person Su Yu was talking about.
"Ah... him..."
Su Yu had already sat down by then, hearing Lin Yuan's stammering, and didn't hold out much hope.
Lin Yuan, chopsticks in hand, exclaimed, "Ah!"
"I remember now, he's a long-time employee in the publicity team, I think his name is... Li Jiaming!"
Li Jiaming...
Su Yu memorized the name, and suddenly felt more confident about her confrontation with Su Yan.
Seeing that Su Yu wasn't speaking, Lin Yuan asked in confusion, "What's wrong?"
"Nothing, let's eat, lunch break is almost over,"
Su Yu replied casually. Lin Yuan, being easygoing, didn't press the matter further and ate her rice in small bites.
[Li Jiaming! That's him! Su Yan's pawn in the plot!]
[This guy is a real troublemaker, always trying to play both sides. On one hand, he wanted to help Su Yan steal documents, but after being discovered by President Ji, he tried to switch sides, and his end was quite tragic.]
[In the end, before he died, he wanted to take someone down with him, secretly trying to frame Su Yu.]
[Keeping him alive is a huge problem, hurry up and get him offline! I want to see a sweet romance, I'm crying!]
