Part 2
If Yan Shiting really remembered what happened that night, he shouldn't be behaving this way towards him.
However, it's best to confirm it. But there's no opportunity right now.
Yu Li sighed, rolled around on the bed a few times, then got up and went downstairs.
Butler He was confirming the afternoon menu, and when he saw Yu Li, he brought out a plate of snacks from the kitchen.
"Mr. Yu, have these to tide you over, dinner will be ready soon."
Yu Li smiled gratefully at him, "Thank you, Uncle He."
The snacks were still warm, with a soft and not sticky texture, lightly sweet, and a fragrant red bean aroma.
Yu Li quite liked this flavor.
He ate a piece, then looked up and asked, "Uncle He, have you had lunch yet?"
Butler He smiled kindly, "I have, I got up in time for the noon meal."
"That early." Yu Li was a bit surprised, "Have you rested well?"
After a pause, he said, "About the incident in the early morning, thank you for your trouble."
Butler He sighed lightly, "It's no trouble, last night I stayed up late with the young master, double overtime pay, so of course I have to do some work."
Yu Li was startled, and quickly asked, "Was President Yan... working late into the night?"
Butler He sighed again, "The young master is always like this, after all, he's supporting the entire Yan Corporation, his life is so busy. Last night, he worked until 2 a.m., originally wanting to continue working back here, but happened to receive a call from the young master, so we went to pick you up."
He paused for a moment: "Fortunately you weren't in any trouble, otherwise..."
Yu Li's heart was filled with complex emotions.
He had thought that they came so quickly because the roads were empty at night. But the real reason was like this.
Yan Shiting was already so busy, and because of him, so much time was delayed.
Yu Li pressed his lips tightly and said, "Uncle He, I... I want to thank President Yan."
Not just with words, but by doing something for him.
Butler He was moved.
Last night, he had never seen the young master suddenly rush out like that.
He didn't know where the young master had got the information from, if it weren't for receiving the young master's distress call on the way to Yu Li's neighborhood, he wouldn't have known what the young master was going to do.
After thinking for a few seconds, Butler He suggested with a smile, "The young master is so busy, he definitely won't be able to come back for dinner. Mr. Yu, why don't you help me deliver a meal to the young master?"
Deliver a meal? Is that it?
But the meal is made by the housekeeper, and the car is driven by the driver.
Yu Li is just responsible for carrying the lunch box.
Looking at it this way, using meal delivery as a way to express gratitude seems to lack sincerity.
But Yu Li thought about it and still agreed.
While the housekeeper was preparing dinner, Yu Li went to the kitchen, cut some fruit, made a fruit platter, and also baked some sugar-free small biscuits.
These skills were all learned when he was at Yuting Hall.
After finishing, Butler He came over and had the housekeeper get a deluxe thermal food container, carefully placing the fruit platter and small biscuits.
Yu Li then set out with the deluxe thermal food container.
An hour later, he arrived at Yan Corporation's park area.
The driver dropped him off at the central headquarters building, and Yu Li, carrying the food container, walked into the building.
The receptionist had already received a call from Butler He, and after seeing Yu Li, led him to the express elevator to the top floor.
Reaching the top floor, a secretary brought Yu Li to a small partition outside Yan Shiting's office.
"President Yan is in a video conference, please wait here for a bit."
"Okay, thank you." Yu Li nodded.
After the secretary left, Yu Li sat properly on the sofa, placing the thermal food container on the coffee table in front of him.
It was already after work hours, and through the one-way glass door, Yu Li saw the secretaries and assistants gradually leave their offices.
Yu Li waited for a long time, the offices outside were all empty, but Yan Shiting still hadn't come out.
Yu Li touched the thermal food container, a little worried that the food inside might have gone cold.
Until another half an hour passed, Yan Shiting finally came out of the office.
Seeing Yu Li, his steps paused for a moment.
The tall figure stood at the door, just finishing a meeting, the sharp gaze behind the gold-rimmed glasses not yet fully restrained, just looking at Yu Li.
Yu Li felt nervous under the gaze, and hurriedly stood up from the sofa.
"I... President Yan, I brought you dinner."
Yan Shiting pressed his lips together and nodded.
He then walked over and sat down across from Yu Li, taking off his glasses and rubbing his brow.
Yu Li lowered his head and opened the thermal food container, taking out the dishes.
The bottom of the food container was the largest space, where he had arranged the fruit platter and biscuits.
Yan Shiting glanced over, seeing the five cherry tomato rabbits, one apple slice swan, one banana bird, and two kiwi flower arrangements.
On the edge of the fruit platter, there was a small bag of animal-shaped biscuits.
Yan Shiting: ...
He pressed his lips tightly, putting on his glasses with a slightly unnatural movement.
"You made these?" His tone was hard to discern any emotion.
Yu Li nervously rubbed his fingers, nodding, "Yes, I wanted to thank President Yan. The biscuits don't have much sugar, they're vegetable and fruit flavored, so you can have them as a relaxing snack when working late."
Yan Shiting looked up at him.
The fierce glint in his phoenix eyes had receded, but the unfathomable gaze in the depths of his eyes still made Yu Li's heart skip a beat.
Fortunately, Yan Shiting soon averted his gaze, and said in a low voice:
"This is just an incidental matter, you don't need to go out of your way to thank me like this."
"But still, thank you. You can go back now."
Yu Li didn't react for a moment.
After a long while, seeing that Yan Shiting had already started eating, he finally snapped out of it.
"Then I'll take my leave, goodbye, President Yan."
Yan Shiting nodded.
Yu Li secretly heaved a sigh of relief and left the office.
Stepping into the elevator going down, Yu Li replayed Yan Shiting's last two sentences in his mind.
Somehow, he felt they weren't as cold.
