After driving the disgusting person away, Yan Junye lay back down and returned to watching the computer.
-"I have to say, I finally understand why Chang Yu doesn't look for anyone in the entertainment industry. But he really does attract a lot of rotten peach blossoms."
-"You'd better watch out. No matter how I look at him, Ni Lejia seems determined to steal your chastity."
Chang Yu: "..." He was a gong, so why did that description make him sound like a woman?
Still, he really wasn't entirely at ease about Ni Lejia. If the paparazzo dared to demand a million, he definitely hadn't merely photographed him on a date with his girlfriend.
He called his assistant in. "Find out exactly what stupid thing that idiot did."
The assistant went to investigate, and Chang Yu began packing up to leave work. He had been far too unproductive today; he might as well continue tomorrow.
He asked Xiaotu, who was engrossed in his show, "Do you want to take the computer home or leave it at the office?"
They spent most of their time at the office anyway. At home, Xiaotu only played on it for a little while before bed.
Yan Junye pointed a paw at the computer Chang Yu was carrying, indicating that he wanted to take it home.
At the same time, he was still saying inwardly:
-"I'll have you bring it back to the office tomorrow. That way, I won't miss out at either place."
Chang Yu carried a computer in each hand. So he was just a computer porter, then?
Seeing what Chang Yu was carrying, the assistant stepped forward. "President Chang, have you forgotten about President Xi's banquet tonight?"
Without the reminder, Chang Yu really would have forgotten.
It was all because of what had happened at noon. His mind was still a mess.
"Drive Xiaotu home. I'll drive myself there."
Yan Junye remembered Xi Wu-the husky owner whose home was full of cats and whose role was limited to hard labor.
"Woof, woof, woof!"
[Take me along too. I still need to complain to Xi Wu's wife.]
Chang Yu couldn't even remember how long ago the incident with Xi Wu had been, yet Xiaotu still remembered it.
Yan Junye curled his fluffy tail around Chang Yu's ankle and continued barking softly.
[Ni Lejia definitely won't let tonight's opportunity slip away. If you get drugged, I can still save your chastity in time.]
[Are you really not going to reconsider?]
Chang Yu felt a tickle around his ankle. He lowered his gaze to the fluffy dog head. "I think you just want to eat at the banquet."
Yan Junye had gone to the bathroom yesterday and felt much better now, but he certainly wasn't going to admit it. "Woof, woof, woof."
[Don't make things up. I'm clearly looking out for your chastity~]
[There's bound to be plenty of delicious food at the banquet. I'll just look. I promise I won't eat indiscriminately.]
Chang Yu found Xiaotu's words thoroughly untrustworthy.
Having already argued his case, Yan Junye jumped into the passenger seat of Chang Yu's car, his eyes still urging him on. "Stop dawdling. Let's go."
Chang Yu knew that even if he refused to take Xiaotu today, the angry dog would definitely wreak havoc at home. Then he would have to spend the banquet worrying that his home might be gone by the time he returned.
"All right, let's go." Resigned to his fate, Chang Yu got into the car.
The banquet was being held at Xi Wu's mountain estate.
Today was the tenth anniversary of the founding of Xi Wu's real estate company, as well as the couple's seventh wedding anniversary, so the celebration was especially grand.
The red balloon arch bore the words "Happy Wedding Anniversary" in large letters, with a tiny line beneath reading "Company Tenth Anniversary Celebration Banquet."
Clearly, he was a total wife slave.
Yan Junye followed behind Chang Yu. There were quite a few dogs in the courtyard, and he even knew most of them: they were the elderly tycoons' dogs he had met at the Chang Family's villa last time.
It seemed he wasn't the only dog here, which put him at ease. Otherwise, he was afraid he would be petted bald.
As he ran off to eat melons, Yan Junye didn't forget to bark a message to Chang Yu.
[I'll go help you ask around about Ni Lejia. Don't eat anything indiscriminately in the meantime, or I won't be able to drag you away.]
Chang Yu let Xiaotu join the dogs and entered the banquet hall alone.
Ni Lejia was indeed there, as was Li Yong's whole family. They were all familiar faces.
He wore a black suit, which should have been very understated. He wasn't stealing anyone's thunder.
But why was everyone looking at him? There was whispering too.
"There, that's President Chang. The fiancée from an arranged marriage he didn't like, the man who stole his fiancée, his business rivals, the Li Family who caused him trouble-President Chang dug up all their secrets. He's truly a winner in life."
"Does President Chang really know every secret?" someone asked skeptically. "Could he even know how many minutes I spent on the toilet today?"
Li Yong, who had once deeply doubted Chang Yu, now believed it too. "Anyway, you'd better not provoke him, unless you aren't afraid of Chang Yu exposing your secrets and letting everyone find out."
"So do you really have an anal fissure?" Everyone turned their melon-eating gazes toward Li Yong. "How did you provoke President Chang? You made him so angry he even exposed your anal fissure."
Li Yong rolled his eyes, got up, and left.
He didn't have an anal fissure!
And the anal fissure story didn't seem to have come from Chang Yu either. People online had made wild guesses, which then turned into a rumor that he had an anal fissure.
Chang Yu just wanted to say that he hadn't publicized anything either. Their own families had failed to control their emotions and shouted so loudly that other people overheard.
Still, having the story spread this way did him no harm, so Chang Yu couldn't be bothered to explain.
He didn't take any of the wine being served, keeping his attention mainly on Ni Lejia.
Ni Lejia had also just heard everyone's discussion. Had Chang Yu refused his request to become bed partners because he knew his secret?
But he had only approached Chang Yu that afternoon. Chang Yu probably hadn't had any impression of him before that and wouldn't have specifically sent someone to follow him.
He glanced at the clock on the wall. Only four hours had passed since he first met Chang Yu.
Even if Chang Yu had investigated him, he couldn't possibly have learned his secret so quickly.
It seemed he had to make his move as soon as possible. Otherwise, once Chang Yu found out, it would be even harder for him to succeed.
