Part 2
Yu Li furrowed his brow in confusion.
After a moment, he rolled over, grabbing the pillow and rubbing it, venting his frustration.
Unfamiliar with the new environment, Yu Li was still a bit uncomfortable, but after caressing the short fuzz on the pillow, he gradually fell asleep.
A good night's sleep.
In the morning, Yu Li had recovered from the nausea of pregnancy, opened the bedroom door, and met Jiang Yue's gaze in the living room.
He was slightly taken aback.
And the Jiang Yue in the living room also looked at Yu Li with some bewilderment, to the extent that the polite smile on his face had slipped a bit.
He then looked at Yan Shiting in front of him.
What exactly happened? Why did his boss suddenly get what he wanted?
Facing Jiang Yue's gaze, Yan Shiting was unfazed, handing him the signed documents.
"This plan is fine, execute it after the holiday."
Jiang Yue regained his composure and put on a warm and polite smile again. "Okay, Mr. Yan."
He looked at his watch, "Mr. Yan, the charity art exhibition starts at 10 o'clock, we need to leave soon."
Yan Shiting responded, then turned to look at Yu Li standing at the bedroom door. "Breakfast is on the table."
With that, seeing Yu Li nod, he went back to the closet in the bedroom to change.
Yu Li had been watching the two of them quietly.
Today was the first day of the short holiday, and he didn't expect Yan Shiting to still be so busy, with business to attend to so early in the morning.
He closed the bedroom door and walked to the dining table. When passing by Jiang Yue, he felt a little awkward, afraid the other party would ask why he was here.
Fortunately, Jiang Yue didn't seem to have any inquisitive thoughts, still smiling and greeting him, "Good morning, Mr. Ru."
Yu Li secretly let out a sigh of relief and also smiled back, "Good morning, have you had breakfast?"
He looked at the table and put a piece of toast in front of Jiang Yue. "If you haven't eaten yet, let's have something together."
"Thank you, I actually overslept this morning and didn't have time for breakfast." Jiang Yue's tone was friendly as he sat down next to Yu Li.
The two of them didn't meet very often, and the only familiar person - Yan Shiting - was not here at the moment.
Yu Li felt a little awkward, quietly picking up a light porridge to drink.
Jiang Yue took a bite of toast and asked in a casual way, "You're a senior this year, right? Have you started looking for an internship?"
Yu Li thought for a moment and shook his head, "No."
"I remember your performance in the New Program competition a few years ago was quite good. Have you considered interning at Yan Corp?"
Yu Li was a bit surprised, "You remember me?"
Jiang Yue nodded, "That competition was sponsored by Yan Corp, I've seen the list of winners. The game auxiliary program you made was pretty good."
Yu Li suddenly understood, realizing that Jiang Yue was trying to dig up talent for Yan Corp.
He didn't expect that something he did back then could be remembered by someone.
He felt a bit embarrassed, his ear tips turning red, "Thank you."
He thought for a moment and said, "But I haven't really considered an internship for now."
Jiang Yue casually asked, "Thinking of taking the postgraduate or civil service exam?"
Yu Li said, "No, I just want to think more about what I really like."
Jiang Yue had already finished the toast, and nodded, "Your abilities are not bad. If you want to develop in Y City, the Yan family would be your best choice."
Yu Li's hand unconsciously rubbed the hem of his pajamas, and his expression was a bit dazed upon hearing this.
He thought for a moment and said, "Let me think about it some more. If... I might go back to my hometown or go somewhere else."
If Yan Shiting didn't want this child, and the child was terminated, he wouldn't want to stay here either.
Jiang Yue smiled and saw Yan Shiting just coming out of the bedroom, saying with deep meaning, "Is that so? That's not bad either."
He had a bit of an amused and observant attitude as he watched Yan Shiting, wanting to see how the boss would react to what Yu Li had just said.
But Yan Shiting merely gave him a cold look, and before leaving, said to Yu Li, "If there's anything, you can call me."
"Okay." Yu Li nodded and watched the two leave.
As the elevator descended, Jiang Yue felt the cold radiating from beside him, and his smile also became more restrained.
"President Yan..."
He had just started speaking when Yan Shiting looked at him indifferently.
Jiang Yue could only close his mouth.

The charity art exhibition was held in a villa on the outskirts of the city.
It was called an art exhibition, but it could also be called an auction.
Some of the paintings on display were provided by the organizers, and some were donated by the invited guests. The proceeds from the auction would be donated to charity organizations.
It was just another occasion for name and profit.
In such an occasion, Yan Shiting would definitely be the center of attention, and everyone would be scrambling to greet him.
However, today, no one dared to approach Yan Shiting.
—Because his face was terrifyingly gloomy.
Jiang Yue followed behind Yan Shiting, also a bit too afraid to speak.
Although he knew the reason for Yan Shiting's bad mood, he didn't have the courage to try to comfort him.
They toured the art exhibition in this strange atmosphere.
Walking silently past painting after painting, Yan Shiting finally stopped in front of a painting of Avalokitesvara.
The Avalokitesvara in the painting had a compassionate expression, with downcast eyes seemingly looking at the viewer outside the painting.
An executive saw Yan Shiting's gaze and boldly stepped forward, saying, "This painting is the original work of the 500-year-old painter Zhang Ni. I used to keep it, and now I'm bringing it out for charity."
He paused and asked, "Does President Yan like it?"
Yan Shiting did not answer, but just stared into the eyes of the Avalokitesvara in the painting, making eye contact with it.
Seeing this, Jiang Yue stepped forward and conversed with the executive.
Their voices didn't affect Yan Shiting at all.
He thought of what Yu Li had said.
【...I might go back to my hometown, or go somewhere else.】
So he and Yu Li were like two intersecting lines.
In the past, the distance between them was far, but by chance they got closer and closer, and after intersecting once, they were drifting further and further apart.
From then on, they were walking towards completely different paths.
Yan Shiting's hand gradually clenched into a fist.
【You just don't dare to admit that you also have selfish intentions. But in fact, everyone has selfish intentions, and this is not a big deal.】
Is it not a big deal?
Yan Shiting quietly looked at the Avalokitesvara.
Even if... he wanted to keep him by his side, using despicable means, is it really not a big deal?
The Avalokitesvara's face remained compassionate.
Yan Shiting tightened his mouth and closed his eyes.
Perhaps, this is his only, last chance.
-
In the afternoon, as soon as he returned to the office, Jiang Yue heard Yan Shiting say, "Inventory my assets, and then have the lawyer come over."
Jiang Yue was stunned and asked, "Inventory your assets? President Yan, may I ask what you intend to do?"
Yan Shiting, with his back to him, paused for a step, and only coldly uttered a sentence:
"Prepare for marriage."
