“Is this President Yan’s latest way to say hello?” Ye Fei straightened his collar and hummed. Yan Xiao did not answer. He had straightened his back as if he had done nothing wrong, but he did not dare to look into Ye Fei’s eyes.
Ye Fei wanted to say something, but Gu Ruijia came over dragging a chair. He asked the little fresh meat next to him to shift, making space in an already crowded area before greeting Yan Xiao. “Brother Xiao, sit down and talk.”
Then he introduced Yan Xiao to the little fresh meat. “This is President Ye’s family. You can just call him President Yan.” But he did not say Yan Xiao’s identity.
Although Gu Ruijia has a carefree personality, in the end, he was in the film and television circle, and he had seen a lot of various things. As soon as Feixiao Technology’s name came out, even if Yan Xiao was seven or eighty years old, there were still people who rushed forward.
Furthermore, Yan Xiao was not only young, but had an incredible face. Gu Ruijia needed to be more careful. Yan Xiao had never been interviewed publicly, and there were very few photos of him on the Internet, mostly from his early years.
The little fresh meat did not recognize him. But since the boss said that he was called President Yan, he must be the big shot of a company.
– Once confirmed by the boss, they had to respect the person!
They all stood up to say hello.
Yan Xiao nodded in response, and was about to sit down. Unexpectedly, Ye Fei suddenly stretched out a leg from the side and laid it horizontally across the chairs.
He had been flustered all day and night because of Yan Xiao, but the culprit just made him lose face in front of so many people. Old and new grievances compounded, and Ye Fei could not bear it anymore. Ye Fei raised his head and smiled provocatively. “There is no place here.”
Gu Ruijia’s heart trembled in fear that a family war would soon occur. He tried to hint to Ye Fei with his eyes, indicating that such quarrels should be kept at home, but it was a pity that Ye Fei did not pay attention to him at all.
Yan Xiao did not move, nor did he lose his temper because of his loss of face. He simply stood there, watching Ye Fei quietly. It seemed that among so many people on the table, he could only see Ye Fei. No matter what Ye Fei does, he could tolerate it.
Being watched by Yan Xiao with such focused and quiet eyes, Ye Fei’s frustration and embarrassment disappeared in an instant like water vapor in the relentless sun.
He could not even muster the anger he held before. Ye Fei sighed and retracted his legs. “Why are you here?”
Yan Xiao sat upright on the chair before answering, “I saw Gu Ruijia’s post.”
“Were you hungry?” Ye Fei was stunned. He picked up his phone and looked at the photo, and felt that it was ordinary. Yan Xiao was probably tempted because he rarely ate barbecue.
Yan Xiao said “No”, but he refused to say anything else.
The waiter then came over with the crayfish, so the topic was diverted.
A few of the little fresh meat had good personalities, lively and playful. After eating with Ye Fei for so long, knowing that he has no airs, they let go of their restraint and became noisy. Crayfish went best with beer, and thus they asked the waiter for a tower.
There was a particularly attentive one. Seeing that there was only an empty glass in front of Yan Xiao, he took the initiative to offer to pour his glass.
“He doesn’t drink,” Ye Fei helped Yan Xiao block the offer before smiling at the little fresh meat. “You drink, don’t worry about us. After eating, find somewhere you want to play, and put it all on my account. ”

“Thank you, President Ye.” The little fresh meat beamed with his big white teeth.

“How is it?” Ye Fei asked.
Yan Xiao said “Okay”, but did not take another bite.
Seeing this, Ye Fei thought it was not to his taste, so he did not persuade him into further bites. Instead, he directed his attention to the crayfish in front of him.
Ye Fei found this kind of shellfish delectable, but he was a messy eater and thought the act of peeling crayfish ugly. Thus, due to aesthetics, he finished two before moving on to other plates.
He could not prevent his eyes from glancing at the crayfish, desire evident. Yan Xiao noticed it and pushed the plate in front of him.
“No thank you,” Ye Fei shook his head before pulling the beef off the steel stick and dipped it in some barbecue sauce. “It’s troublesome.”
Yan Xiao stared at the plate of red crayfish thoughtfully. After a while, he suddenly took off his suit jacket and rolled up the sleeves of his shirt. Ye Fei thought he wanted to eat again, so he glanced at it before throwing the action to the back of his mind, until a piece of peeled crayfish was placed in his bowl.
“What…what are you doing?” He looked at Yan Xiao blankly, and was a little speechless.
“Don’t you want to eat it?” Yan Xiao lowered his head and continued to peel the shrimp, as if what he had just done was just a trivial matter.
Yan Xiao’s brows were slightly wrinkled, his movements unfamiliar and ugly. Because he was unable to control his strength, the fingertips of the disposable gloves were broken. The hands that were always clean when typing on the keyboard were now stained with red and oily soup. It was both dirty and not business-like.
If it were anyone else, Ye Fei would immediately turn his head away when he saw it. However, his did not feel the same disgust when Yan Xiao did the peeling.
Ye Fei knew that Yan Xiao loved to be clean, was slightly OCD, and often felt that others thought like him. When he stood in front of Yan Xiao, he would feel ashamed of himself.
However, this person who once stood on top was now peeling shrimp for him. Even if you did not want to get a divorce, this was too far, was it not?
“What are you doing,” Ye Fei took out tissue before grabbing Yan Xiao’s wrist. “Don’t do it.”
Yan Xiao was very stubborn and refused to let Ye Fei wipe his hands. He was very strong, and Ye Fei could not beat him, so he could only watch as the crayfish meat in front of him became more and more before piling up into a heap.
Ye Fei’s feelings were complex. He did not know what to say. After a while, he pretended to make a joke. “Mr. Yan, are you bribing me?”
“No,” Yan Xiao denied, before correcting Ye Fei. “You want to eat it, but you don’t want to peel it.”
Ye Fei had seen Yan Xiao who was giving orders in the conference room, Yan Xiao who shined in the professional field, and Yan Xiao who mastered the technological field, but he was only moved by this ordinary and clumsy Yan Xiao.
“You…” Ye Fei’s heart throbbed and he wanted to say something, but was interrupted by a buzzing sound.
He looked down and saw that it was his dad’s WeChat call.
Normally, Ye Fei would never pick it up. But at this moment, he was flustered by Yan Xiao, and he urgently needed to do something else to calm down. After thinking about it, he took the phone and walked out.
“Ye Fei, did you do this on purpose?” As soon as he pressed the answer button, Father Ye filled his ears with an angry questioning voice.
“What?” Ye Fei frowned.
“You’re still pretending!” Father Ye slapped the table fiercely, wishing to strangle the son to death through the phone, “If you hadn’t suddenly participated in the bidding, how could Dingyuan not be able to win the film and television copyright of <<No Return>>!”
<<No Return>> was a romance novel that was well-known on the Internet. Dingyuan had been in contact with its publisher recently, hoping to buy the film and television copyright of <<No Return>>.
Originally, they had almost completed the deal. However, the publisher suddenly hinted that there were other film and television companies interested in ‘No Return’ and could not sign a contract with Dingyuan for the time being. It wanted the two companies to bid to determine the ownership of the film and television copyright.
Ye Yao could not hold back his temper when the cooked duck in his mouth flew off. When he asked the publisher for the other party’s information, the other party directly told Ye Yao as it was not a secret.
As soon as he heard that it was Tianxi, Ye Yao’s brain suspected a rat and immediately ran to complain to Father Ye.
“If I knew it was going to be like this, I should have strangled you when you were born,” Father Ye opened his mouth and spat out harsh words one after another, “You’re just like your mother! I can’t even bend you back. No matter how good the seeds are, they can’t grow on rotten soil!”
Ye Fei’s face grew ugly.
He really did not know that Dingyuan was interested in the film and television copyright of <<No Return>>. Of course, even if he knew he would still grab it. All was fair in the business world.
Usually, he would not care if Father Ye had scolded him for a sentence or two. But he could not forgive his mother being scolded as well.
Ye Fei took a deep breath and said coldly, “Save yourself a little face, I’m losing my appetite as well. Without my mother, you are nothing.”
“Maybe because you’re old, your brain isn’t working too well. Where did Dingyuan’s original funds come from, do I need to remind you? If it wasn’t for my mother’s good intentions, you would still be herding sheep in the mountains without her lowering herself to marry you.”
The love between the eldest young lady and the poor boy touched so many people back then. Looking back now, it was nothing but an obvious conspiracy.
“Shut up, little bastard! Shut up!” Father Ye was furious. It was taboo for others to mention his origin. He got angry, and his words became more and more vicious. “I don’t want to use her money, who told her to be cheap! Besides, since we were married, I naturally have a share of her things. I don’t blame her for sullying my bloodline. The genes of the Ye family gave birth to something like you! How—”
“Say one more word,” Ye Fei’s anger had moved him into placidity. He lit a cigarette and took a breath, “I’ll go find Ye Yao right away.”
His voice was not loud, but it had a frightening savagery.
Father Ye took a breath, and felt the urge to curse again. When the words reached his lips, he remembered Ye Fei’s warning and swallowed it back.
He knew that Ye Fei was no longer the obedient, obedient son at his mercy. After experiencing Ye Fei’s ruthlessness against his brother, Father Ye believed that he would definitely do as he said.
“Ye Jianying, my mother is easy to bully, but I’m not.” Ye Fei said lightly, and cut the call. He took two puffs of his cigarette and tried to suppress the tumbling emotions in his heart when a familiar voice came from behind.
“Ye Fei,” Yan Xiao stood at the entrance of the alley. “Who bullied you?”
“You eavesdropped on my phone call?” Ye Fei raised his eyes and looked over. His face was full of coldness, and there was a trace of ill-will that remained.
“I didn’t,” Yan Xiao stared at Ye Fei, attempting to explain the reason why he was here, “You didn’t come back, so I took a look and I accidentally heard it.”
“I only heard the last sentence.” Yan Xiao emphasized.
Ye Fei sneered and looked down as he smoked. He did not speak to Yan Xiao again. His thin figure was hidden in the alley, and as the moonlight flickered and dimmed, there was a sense of elusiveness that made Yan Xiao very uncomfortable.
So, Yan Xiao took a step forward, got a little closer to Ye Fei, and then asked again, “Who bullied you?”
Ye Fei glanced up. Yan Xiao looked at him without blinking, waiting for his answer. It seems that as long as Ye Fei spoke that person’s name, Yan Xiao will immediately help Ye Fei get back at him.
“It’s none of your business.” Ye Fei put out the cigarette before looking around. He could not find a trash can and tutted irritably. A hand suddenly grabbed his wrist and took away the bitten cigarette butt.
“I’ll do it.” Yan Xiao walked out of the alley. The sound of footsteps gradually faded away, but gradually approached after a while.
Yan Xiao was still standing in the same place, but he was now awash in neon light, as though he had brought the brightness with him. Yan Xiao quietly accompanied Ye Fei, down-to-earth and reliable.
It was as if he was telling Ye Fei silently that he could be weak too, because he also had someone to rely on.
Probably because the alley was too quiet and the night was too heavy, Ye Fei suddenly felt a lingering tiredness. He did not want to move at all, he just wanted to find a place to lean on.
So, he said to Yan Xiao, “Brother Yan, lend me your shoulder.”
Yan Xiao did not understand what it meant to lend a shoulder, but fortunately Ye Fei did not let him wonder. In the next second, he walked up and put his head on Yan Xiao’s shoulder very lightly.
At that moment, Yan Xiao’s breaths grew shallow. He froze and didn’t dare to move, as if he was carrying the weight of the world on his right shoulder.
The hustle and bustle of people outside drifted in from time to time, and the moonlight shone softly on the alley, but it couldn’t break the tranquility of this side of the world.
“Brother Yan, the crayfish on your body smells so bad.”
“I’m sorry”, Yan Xiao replied, “I will take a shower immediately after I go back.”
Ye Fei did not know why, but he was amused by this sentence. He laughed so happily that even the anger and grievances brought by Father Ye disappeared.
He buried his face in Yan Xiao’s neck and said, “Okay.”
Awe 🥺 Thanks for the chapter
Yup
Thank You for the chapter (´,,•ω•,,)♡
Yan Xiao’s strength has been noted more than once, might as well take advantage of it.
Awwww 🥺🥺🥺
Esto es desgarradoramente lindo 🥺
gracias ☺
Maybe all of that Ye Yao’s brain have been inherited from his father, a scheming sc*mbag. I really don’t understand these men who act all mighty in front of their children and treats their wife as worthless when in the beginning if their wife os not there for them they are just a piece of paper thrown in a garbage bin.
Awww! 🥺
God… It’s me again I-
Can’t wait to see the scum crying.
I’ve read a previous work of the author and literally I can’t get enough of how they write their characters, specifically the ones that struggle with showing or understanding emotions. YX is just such an interesting and cute character to me as even though he struggles with emotions he’s still trying his best to make it known to YF that can rely on him
Aww, least Ye Fei isn’t alone and can rely on Yan Xiao 🥺
Thanks for the chapter 💞
