Just from that simple sentence, Jiang Nan suddenly felt a lump in his throat. He sniffed, "When I was in jail, no one bullied me, but when I stayed at the hotel, an old man bullied me and said some really nasty things."
As she said those words, Jiang Nan awkwardly picked at her nail.
Jiang Nan had suffered a lot of grievances in the past, and he was used to enduring them. This seemed to be the first time he had been bullied, and someone had stood up for him.
Fu Jingzhou stared at him, remaining silent for a long time.
He had already heard about the general details of the incident from others, but the heartache he felt upon hearing it from them was nothing compared to even a fraction of the pain he felt for the person standing before him.
Fu Jingzhou wasn't very good at coaxing people, so he paused for a moment and asked, "Do you like the car you bought last time?"
"Huh?" Jiang Nan didn't react immediately, paused for a moment, and said, "I quite like it."
"That's good." The man breathed a barely perceptible sigh of relief and asked, "What about the yacht? Do you like it?"
"A... a... a... a... a... a... boat?" Little Immortal Nan's eyes widened, and she gasped. "You... you... you're going to buy me one?"
He spoke haltingly, his heart pounding.
"Mm." The man's voice was deep and mellow, tinged with a tenderness he hadn't shown before. "Buy it if you like it."
Jiang Nan: "..."
After hanging up the phone, he stared at the ceiling, grinning from ear to ear.
The Little Black Ball cautiously approached and honestly said, "My dear Nannan, I've awakened a new function."
Jiang Nan glanced at it, then reached out and pinched the Little Black Ball. "Tell me about it."
The Little Black Ball clasped its two little arms together and said earnestly, "I can step on your shoulders."
Jiang Nan: "Get lost! My prestigious yacht is off-limits to dogs and Little Black Ball."
771:"..."
-
Because of the big shot buying him a yacht, Jiang Nan slept very soundly.
The next day, when Jiang Qingye pulled the covers off him and woke him up, he was still dreaming of becoming the Pirate King while piloting a yacht.
He felt a chill on his stomach, and groggily opened his eyes, meeting Jiang Qingye's half-smiling gaze.
"Get up, my little assistant."
Jiang Nan; "..."
He tried to forget what happened yesterday, closed his eyes, and pretended to be asleep.
Jiang Qingye crossed her arms, and laughed in exasperation.
The boy had messy pink hair and wore a green frog-patterned long-sleeved pajama set, revealing his fair and thin skin.
Jiang Qingye said, "You bought the wrong pajamas, the turtle ones would suit you better."
Jiang Nan couldn't keep up the act any longer. "You're the bastard!"
The man crossed his arms and stopped arguing with him. "Get up now, or I'll post your ugly photos online. Your haters will probably love them."
Jiang Nan did a somersault and said, "Let's go."
-
I arrived at the company just after eight o'clock.
Jiang Nan followed Jiang Qingye to the president's private elevator.
As the elevator ascended, the man, one hand in his pocket, glanced indifferently at Jiang Nan and said, "Take off that ugly mask and hat."
As Jiang Nan removed her mask and hat, she said, "What do you know? I'm a public figure now, after all."
Jiang Qingye: "Wow, you're amazing!"
Jiang Nan remained silent, her face tense.
Jiang Qingye casually instructed, "Make me a cup of coffee later."
The word "coffee" struck Jiang Nan like a dagger to the heart. He turned and glared at Jiang Qingye. "I'm not making coffee! I hate coffee the most!"
Jiang Qingye: "... I fed all 500,000 yuan to the dogs."
Jiang Nan turned her head away without saying a word.
Jiang Qingye had an international conference to attend that morning. Before entering the conference room, he glanced at Jiang Nan and instructed, "Make me some coffee when I come out."
Jiang Nan didn't say anything. He held his phone and played a few games in silence. Finally, feeling a bit guilty, he went to the break room and wandered around for a while. He eventually managed to find a packet of green tea.
The hot water in the tea room needed to be boiled again, so Jiang Nan squatted on the floor and played a game.
-
When Jiang Qingye returned to his office after the meeting, it was empty.
He raised an eyebrow, thinking that Jiang Nan, that little brat, couldn't stand being alone, and sent Jiang Nan a message.
Where did they run off to again?
After sending the message, he tossed his phone aside, sat down in his office chair, crossed his long legs, and picked up a new document to read.
The office door was suddenly opened.
Jiang Qingye didn't even look up, and lazily asked, "So you still know how to come back?"
He subconsciously assumed it was Jiang Nan, because in such a large company, only Jiang Nan and his father would dare to enter without prior notice.
Jiang Qingyuan is currently planning a trip with Song Huishi, so he probably won't be coming to the company for the next few days.
After waiting for a long time, no one came to speak.
The footsteps grew closer and closer, finally stopping in front of his desk.
Jiang Qingye was wondering why she wasn't saying anything...
The remaining half of the sentence ended abruptly.
His smile vanished unconsciously, his lips tightened, and he casually put down the documents, his voice cold. "Why are you here again?"
The newcomer pursed his lips, walked around the desk, squatted down beside the man's legs, and rubbed his cheek against the man's cool trouser leg.
He remained silent, his movements careful and gentle, as he reached out and grabbed the man's suit jacket.
Jiang Qingye lowered his eyelids and silently glanced at him. Finally, he reached out and grabbed his hair. The man raised his head with the force of his grip, his face showing submission.
Under Jiang Qingye's inscrutable gaze, he stuck out his rosy tongue and licked the corner of his lips.
"I haven't been here in a long time, don't you miss me?"
Jiang Qingye did not respond.
He remained in that position, clutching his hair, quietly staring at the person squatting on the ground.
He hugged his knee with one hand, looking incredibly quiet and obedient.
However, the pheromones emanating from him are those of an Alpha with inherent strategic abilities.
It's not uncommon for Alphas to date each other in society today, but as everyone knows, Alphas are incapable of reproduction. Even Alphas marked with Enigma cannot give birth to new life.
Jiang Qingye frowned. "Didn't you understand what I told you before?"
If Jiang Nan were there at that moment, she would definitely be shocked.
Since he had known this older brother, he had rarely seen him show such an impatient and indifferent expression. This man had always been lazy, like he couldn't wake up.
"I..." The person was very young, in his early twenties, with smooth black hair. Even with his head tilted back, his features were still delicate and his appearance remained perfectly proportioned.
He bit his lip, his cheeks drained of color, yet he still stared intently at Jiang Qingye, his gaze filled with tenderness and longing.
"The director of the movie you introduced me to doesn't want me," he said after a moment's thought. "This movie can't be considered part of my breakup payment."
