The Wealthy and Influential Fiancé has the Ability to Read Mind
Chapter 88
The result of Ye Shuyan losing control was that he almost got kicked out of the house just three days after proposing. The only reason he wasn’t successful was that Tang Nuan was too exhausted from all the tossing around.
After waking up in the morning, Ye Shuyan dutifully helped her massage her waist and even carried her to the dining room to feed her. He promised that he wouldn’t touch her again for two days, barely earning the chance to stay at home for observation.
Of course, it initially wasn’t supposed to be two days. Tang Nuan had originally suggested five days. However, it somehow turned into two days after Ye Shuyan’s sweet talk and bargaining.
But the dark sheets were completely off-limits for Tang Nuan.
Regardless of his inner thoughts, Ye Shuyan obediently agreed on the surface.
After breakfast, he arranged for a masseur for Tang Nuan and then went to work. After the massage, she fell into a deep sleep for the entire morning before finally waking up.
After lunch, she still felt lazy and didn’t want to move or do anything. While rinsing her mouth in the bathroom, she saw Ye Shuyan’s mouthwash cup on the sink and remembered what he had said yesterday, which made her smile. She returned to her room and opened a shopping app to start searching for a couple’s daily necessities.
She took screenshots of anything that looked nice or interesting and sent them to Ye Shuyan.
Her intention was for him to check them whenever he had time, especially if he was in a meeting or busy. However, as soon as she sent something, he would always reply, even if it was just a simple emoji: a round, chubby dumpling staring seriously at a computer, its big black eyes wide open, with the caption saying, “I’m working.”
Tang Nuan couldn’t help but laugh when she saw it. She really couldn’t imagine that the person on the other side was Ye Shuyan.
However, after that, she didn’t send any more messages for fear of distracting him. Later in the afternoon, Ye Shuyan sent her a video message. Perhaps because he was in the office, he seemed much more serious, gently asking, “Have you rested well? Are you still feeling uncomfortable?”
Thinking about what had happened last night, Tang Nuan felt her cheeks heat up and coldly snorted, “What do you think?”
Ye Shuyan, knowing he was in the wrong, smiled and naturally changed the subject, “You should choose the one with the engraving for the mouthwash cup. The one that fits together is also nice and it can sit on top.”
His tone held a hint of surprise. He hadn’t paid attention to these things before and didn’t realize there were so many styles of couple daily necessities. He became quite enthusiastic about discussing it with Tang Nuan.
But after just a couple of exchanges, Tang Nuan heard the phone on his desk ring. She quickly said, “You go ahead and take care of your work, let’s talk about the rest when you come back.”
It was indeed something important. Ye Shuyan didn’t say much, but after hanging up, he sent her a sighing dumpling emoji, expressing a “don’t want to work” sentiment.
Tang Nuan chuckled. However, when she continued browsing the shopping site, she found that choosing items alone was rather dull. She decided to put her phone down and wait for Ye Shuyan to come back so they could discuss it together. Seeing his naive reactions while they browsed together would surely be more fun.
For the rest of the time, Tang Nuan organized her wardrobe to make space for Ye Shuyan, then went upstairs to check out his shampoo, skincare products, and other daily necessities. In the end, she brought down a few outfits he had been wearing frequently lately.
By the time she finished, it was already six in the evening. When Ye Shuyan called to say he had to work overtime, Tang Nuan felt a bit disappointed. However, Ye Shuyan sounded even more disappointed, so she quickly reassured him, “No rush, I’ll be waiting for you at home.”
Ye Shuyan sighed, “Hearing you say that just makes me feel more anxious.”
Tang Nuan chuckled, “Hurry up and get busy!”
After hanging up, she watched TV while waiting for him.
It wasn’t until nearly ten that Ye Shuyan returned. Tang Nuan rushed to greet him, and he opened his arms to embrace her, saying, “I’ve never wanted to finish work so much before.”
Tang Nuan found it amusing, but it was clear that if he was so eager to finish work yet didn’t get back until ten, there must have been a lot going on at the office.
Ye Shuyan said, “I didn’t want to bring work home.” Then he leaned closer to her ear with a teasing smile, “With you here, I’m afraid I won’t be able to focus on work.”
Tang Nuan playfully hit him, saying, “Go wash up quickly!”
After some playful banter, they finished washing up and got into bed just before eleven. According to Ye Shuyan’s usual routine, he should have been resting, especially after a long day at work. Yet, he leaned back against the headboard, pulling Tang Nuan into his embrace, and said, “Come on, let’s choose some things.”
Tang Nuan asked, “Aren’t you tired?”
Ye Shuyan replied, “Are you tired?”
Tang Nuan shook her head. She had slept most of the day and hadn’t done anything, so of course, she wasn’t tired.
Ye Shuyan smiled, “Then let’s stay up a bit longer. I haven’t had time to really talk to you all day.”
This time, he didn’t sound like he was trying to elicit sympathy; it was just a statement. But Tang Nuan felt a pang of concern. “Should I go to the office with you tomorrow?”
Ye Shuyan happily kissed her cheek, “Sure.”
Tang Nuan smiled back, then comfortably nestled against his chest, using her phone to select a cup and towel she needed temporarily before turning off the light to rest.
After a good night’s sleep, the next day, they both got up and headed to Ye Group. They were both serious when it came to work, and Ye Shuyan didn’t do anything too special; he just arranged for her to use Assistant Wen’s office for now.
Tang Nuan had her hands full, as Ye Shuyan intentionally wanted her to take over the hotel management department. The Nuanyang system was a key project within that department, currently being integrated into various hotels. Besides the Ye Group, the Xie family had also signed contracts, and with these two major players leading the way, many hotels were eager to engage.
Having studied this system for three years, Tang Nuan was very familiar with various hotel positioning and styles, both domestically and internationally. So, while the workload was a bit heavy, she didn’t find it particularly difficult.
In fact, taking over Assistant Wen’s work kept her incredibly busy, and yes, she was also sharing some of Assistant Wen’s responsibilities.
Tang Nuan had always known that Assistant Wen was capable, but she hadn’t realized just how efficient he was. Now, with his injury, the workload was barely manageable even with three or four people sharing it.
Moreover, given Ye Shuyan’s habit of not tolerating idle people, these individuals already had their own significant workloads. So, most of Assistant Wen’s responsibilities ended up piling on Ye Shuyan’s shoulders.
It was especially hectic now, during a crucial restructuring period for the company, so it was no wonder Ye Shuyan was so busy.
Wanting to help him out as much as possible, Tang Nuan found herself even busier than Ye Shuyan.
Around eight o’clock, Ye Shuyan turned off his computer and heard Tang Nuan muttering numbers to herself next door. He couldn’t help but smile as he got up to check on her.
When Tang Nuan heard the office door open, she glanced at him briefly before returning her focus to the computer.
Ye Shuyan walked over, leaned down, and pulled her into his arms. Tang Nuan instinctively looked at the door and tugged at his arm, “This is the office.”
Not only did Ye Shuyan not let her go, but he also kissed her cheek, “Don’t worry, everyone else has left.”
Tang Nuan raised her hand to check the time, only to realize it was already nearly nine o’clock.
However, she hadn’t finished reading her emails, so she pushed him away and said, “You go wait for me in the other room for a bit. I can’t work like this.”
Ye Shuyan wanted to sit beside her, “I’ll help you.”
“No,” Tang Nuan insisted, “I’m here to help you out, so it wouldn’t make sense for you to do so.”
Ye Shuyan chuckled, “This isn’t hard; you just need to get used to it. Once you’re familiar, you’ll finish quickly.”
Tang Nuan replied, “Exactly, that’s why I need to go through the process of getting familiar.” She stood up and pushed Ye Shuyan onto the nearby sofa. “Just wait for me for half an hour, okay?”
Sitting on the sofa, Ye Shuyan watched his fiancée focus intently on her work, feeling that something was off.
Then he had an idea. He picked up Tang Nuan’s phone and opened her Moments. Sure enough, he saw that Wen Xingchuan had been posting either photos of bone broth or pictures of flowers and plants, with most of the photos deliberately showing hints of a woman’s silhouette.
Ye Shuyan knew that was Tang Yue. Wen Xingchuan had long been discharged from the hospital and was now resting at home, with Tang Yue often visiting him…
He had blocked his boss from seeing his Moments, yet he was living so leisurely and openly.
Meanwhile, Ye Shuyan, as the boss, didn’t even have time to enjoy some intimacy with his fiancée. He narrowed his eyes and got up to make a phone call.
When Assistant Wen received the call, he was busy demonstrating his kissing skills to Tang Yue. Seeing the boss’s call, he was very reluctant to answer, but Tang Yue pushed him away and seized the opportunity to escape.
With a look of resentment, Assistant Wen answered the phone, only to hear his boss’s friendly greeting, “How’s your injury healing?”
He didn’t believe for a second that the heartless capitalist actually cared about him. Cautiously, he replied, “Injuries to bones and muscles take a hundred days to heal. The doctor advised me to take good care to avoid any lasting effects.”
Ye Shuyan sighed, “That’s a pity.”
Assistant Wen asked, “What’s so pity about?”
Ye Shuyan replied, “You won’t make it to my wedding. I’ll have to find another partner for Tang Yue.”
Assistant Wen: !!!
“What partner?”
Ye Shuyan said, “You know I proposed. We’ll be preparing for the wedding soon.”
Assistant Wen listened with a blank expression, thinking, what’s there to brag about? I’ll be getting married soon too.
Then he heard Ye Shuyan continue, “There will be a segment where family members dance together. Since you still need to recover, I’ll find another partner for Tang Yue.”
Assistant Wen: …
Ye Shuyan added, “Actually, I’m inclined to hold the wedding a few months later when the weather is warmer. First, it gives us plenty of time to prepare, and second, the wedding decorations will look better in warmer weather. But there’s so much to do, and with the other side watching closely, I can’t manage it all by myself. I have to wrap things up sooner to guard against potential issues.”
Assistant Wen replied flatly, “A wedding is a major life event; it’s better not to rush it. Just let me know if you need anything, President Ye.”
Ye Shuyan asked with concern, “Your injury…?”
Assistant Wen gritted his teeth and smiled, “It’s just a fracture; my head’s fine.”
Ye Shuyan nodded in relief, “Then thank you for your hard work.”
“Not a problem.” Just wait and see, you heartless capitalist!
In the following days, Tang Nuan noticed that her workload had decreased significantly, and Ye Shuyan seemed much more relaxed. She couldn’t help but wonder, “What’s going on? What about those documents?”
Ye Shuyan replied with satisfaction, “It’s Wen Xingchuan. He can’t sit still at home and insist on working remotely, so I handed all the documents over to him.”
Tang Nuan believed him; in her impression, Assistant Wen was also a workaholic, not any less dedicated than Ye Shuyan.
“But don’t you think it’s time to hire another assistant?” Tang Nuan said. “Once the group is split, Assistant Wen will have to shoulder a lot on his own.”
The role of a presidential assistant is usually a preparatory position for the president, and with Assistant Wen’s strong capabilities, it’s only a matter of time before he gets promoted.
Ye Shuyan nodded, saying, “Xiao Qi is good, and we’ve hired another one, but he won’t be able to start until after the New Year.”
Fortunately, there was less than a week until the New Year. After another five or six busy days, Tang Nuan and Ye Shuyan finally got to take a break.
Once home and changed into comfortable clothes, the first thing Tang Nuan did was throw herself onto the bed, exclaiming, “Being a president is really exhausting.” She opened her arms towards Ye Shuyan, who was walking over. “You’ve worked hard; give me a hug.”
Ye Shuyan leaned down to cover her, “You’ve been with me these past few days; you’ve worked hard too.”
“It was quite tough. You’re so heavy,” Tang Nuan complained, unable to move under his weight. She waved her arms and said, “Get off me!”
Ye Shuyan purposely pressed down harder for a moment before rolling over to lie beside her, equally relaxed and let out a comfortable sigh.
He had never felt that holidays made much of a difference before, but now he realized that just a simple rest could brighten one’s mood so much.
He turned to look at Tang Nuan and asked, “Have you thought about how to arrange the room? It would be a good time to tidy it up while we’re organizing things for the New Year.”
He reached for a tablet from the bedside and pulled Tang Nuan over to look together, “This is a draft from the designer. The downstairs doesn’t need much work; mainly, it’s the upstairs…”
As he spoke, he noticed that Tang Nuan seemed a bit distracted. He rubbed his chin against the top of her head and asked, “What are you thinking about?”
Tang Nuan turned to face him, feeling a bit shy. “Um, this year for the New Year, I want to go back to my hometown with my parents.”
Ye Shuyan raised an eyebrow.
Tang Nuan snuggled into his embrace, looking up at him. “Oh, we’re not married yet, right? My mom said that while we’re still unmarried, we should each celebrate with our own families.”
“But haven’t we always done it this way?”
Ye Shuyan covered her face with his hand, trying to maintain a stern expression, “Can this year be the same as the past years?”
Tang Nuan pulled his hand away, rubbing her chin against his chest, “But you’re going back to the Ye family, right? Are you really going to leave me here alone?”
Ye Shuyan usually didn’t return to the old Ye family home but as the heir designated by the old man himself, the ancestral home would belong to him in a sense. So, during important holidays, he still had to go back to take charge and assert his claim.
Ye Shuyan sighed, “Why are you only saying this now?”
“My parents just asked me a couple of days ago. I got busy and forgot,” Tang Nuan said, playfully kissing his hand.
Ye Shuyan obviously couldn’t do anything about her, “When are you leaving?”
Tang Nuan replied, “The day after tomorrow is New Year’s Eve, so I’m leaving tomorrow afternoon.”
Ye Shuyan rolled over and pinned her down, “So starting tomorrow afternoon, I’ll be all alone?”
For some reason, there was a hint of a pitiful tone in his voice.
After interacting with Tang Jinxin’s family, the thought of the cold and unfeeling Ye family makes him seem somewhat pitiable. Tang Nuan gently patted his head, “I’ll come back early after the New Year.”
Ye Shuyan buried his head in her neck, “Then I need to recharge in advance.”
As he spoke, his lips brushed against her skin, sending a tingling sensation through her. His hands started to wander, and Tang Nuan naturally understood what he meant.
Aside from the day they first got intimate, he hadn’t been excessive recently due to his busy schedule, which made her feel a bit guilty. She decided to indulge his request and obediently wrapped her arms around his neck.
Ye Shuyan quickly took hold of her lips, skillfully delving into her clothes and asking, “Can we change the bed sheets?”
Tang Nuan kicked him and scolded, “Don’t even think about it.”
However, when Ye Shuyan wanted to do something, he always achieved his goal. The bed sheet was not changed, but the place was changed.
When Tang Nuan was pressed on the dark brown leather sofa in the home theater, there was no place to climb, and she could only grab the man who bullied her. A trace of regret slipped through her mind. The bed sheet should be better than this…
Fortunately, Ye Shuyan still remembered the consequences of losing control at that time and did not dare to let Tang Nuan cry too miserably. When she shouted no again, he carried her to the living room…
After that, Tang Nuan leaned in the bathtub, like a swaying boat, looking at the water stains all around, and couldn’t help but bite the ear of the man leaning on her shoulder, and then exchanged it for a fierce collision.
Finally, she was carried back to the bedroom by Ye Shuyan with her dying breath, and Tang Nuan glared at him accusingly.
Before this, she had always thought that Ye Shuyan was serious and solemn, but she didn’t expect him to be so…
Ye Shuyan covered her and himself with the quilt and chuckled, “What’s wrong?”
Such a sultry guy!
Ye Shuyan comfortably held her in his arms and said with a smile, “Actually, I don’t mind, but there is so much knowledge in the movies, I have to let you experience it all.”
Seeing Tang Nuan glaring at him, he kissed her lips, looked at her, and smiled, “I said I would give you the best.”
Tang Nuan: …
She slapped him in the face, help! Where did this scoundrel come from?
The author has something to say:
President Ye: I promised to give you the best, and that includes the best in pleasure.
Tang Nuan: I haven’t watched that many short movies!!!
