MTL - Acting Like a Cannon Fodder is the Best Life-Chapter 15
The atmosphere in the office froze because of this sentence.
Yan Yan was startled by Ji Juechuan's cold voice, but he didn't understand the meaning of his words, so he blinked his eyes helplessly, thinking that he really didn't hear clearly.
Just about to repeat it again, Ji Juechuan looked at Lu Ji who was standing at the door with a nervous expression on his face: "Close the door."
Lu Ji was stunned for a moment, glanced at Yan Yan hesitantly, and walked out of the door with Sheng Mowen, closing the door behind him.
Yan Yan looked blankly at the door being closed, then turned his head to look at Ji Juechuan: "Aren't you going to eat?"
Why did Lu Ji and Sheng Mowen go out again, did they have something to whisper to him?
It's just that the current atmosphere seems a bit strange. He is standing in front of the desk, and Ji Juechuan is sitting behind the desk, which looks a bit like the dean of training giving a lecture.
Yan Yan had never been scolded by a teacher when he was studying, but he often went to the office to help the teacher, and he also saw bad students being scolded, which was exactly the same as the atmosphere between him and Ji Juechuan now.
The obedient student Yan Yan swallowed unconsciously, his eyes widened slightly, waiting for Ji Juechuan to speak.
The air was silent for a long time, and finally heard Ji Juechuan say:
"who is he?"
Yan Yan let go of his hanging heart, it turned out that he was interested in the protagonist Shou, he would think that he had done something wrong.
"He is Sheng Mowen. I heard Assistant Lu call him the director. He seems to be a very powerful person."
He remembered that the protagonist described in the book was indeed very powerful. He had outstanding abilities, and he took the position of director not long after graduation.
Although I can't remember the details clearly, but in short, it's right that the protagonist suffered a lot.
After saying this, Ji Juechuan's complexion became even worse.
Sheng Mowen was indeed a very talented person, and Ji Juechuan was not completely impressed with him, but Yan Yan felt uncomfortable hearing these words out of his mouth.
Even though those words were just stating the facts, he just felt that Yan Yan was praising Sheng Mowen.
It's just the director, so Yan Yanhui's eyes are full of stars and he praises him for being amazing.
Ji Juechuan paused, then asked again: "Do you know him?"
He remembered that Sheng Mowen's family background was ordinary, so he probably had nothing to do with the Yan family, how could the two know each other?
"That's right, others are fine." Yan Yan nodded repeatedly.
Not only did he follow his live account, but he also saw the meaning of his avatar, and his words were so gentle. As expected of the protagonist Shou, he is really a good person.
Although he knew that he had already asked too many questions, Ji Juechuan frowned and asked again:
"How did you meet him?"
Yan Yan didn't notice his emotions, so he replied without thinking, "I met you at the company this afternoon."
After finishing speaking, he went around the desk and walked in front of Ji Juechuan, tugging at his sleeve: "When are we going to eat, I'm already hungry."
He's used to being coquettish with Ji Juechuan these days, and now he unconsciously softens his voice, his moist eyes drooping slightly, with a hint of coquettishness.
Ji Juechuan pursed his thin lips tightly, and there was a hint of anger in his dark eyes.
I met at the company in the afternoon, that means the two have known each other for less than a day?
We've only known each other for a short while, but we've been so fascinated by people, and even brought people here, will we be able to get closer in a few days?
If Yan Yan could call him husband the second day he met him, wouldn't that be the same for others?
"Didn't I tell you not to talk to others casually?"
Yan Yan was taken aback by his tone, let go of his sleeve, and carefully looked at his face.
Of course he remembered that Ji Juechuan told him not to talk to others casually at noon, but wasn't that worried that he would tell about the engagement, and he didn't tell anyone.
After hesitating for a moment, he explained in a low voice: "I didn't say we have a marriage contract."
The blue veins on Ji Juechuan's forehead twitched, and he felt anger rising to the top of his head.
You even have to hide your marriage contract with him, just because of that man you've only known for a long time?
Although he didn't know why he was angry because Yan Yan concealed their engagement, no one in the company knew that his engagement with Yan Yan was better, but he just couldn't suppress the anger in his heart, and there were some things he didn't know. Perceived sourness.
As if laughing back from anger, he raised his eyebrows, and the coldness on his face faded, "Then why did you bring him up?"
Seeing that his face softened, Yan Yan thought that the coldness he felt just now was an illusion, and he breathed a sigh of relief, "He invited me to have dinner together, and I think he will come with us later."
The air was quiet.
Yan Yan felt a little uneasy, did he say something wrong again?
After a while, he heard Ji Juechuan's voice.
"Yan Yan."
There was no emotion in the voice, but Yan Yan took a step back subconsciously, and the alarm bell in his heart was sounded.
This was the first time Ji Juechuan called his name, but it was obviously not a good omen.
"Go to dinner with him, or come with me?"
Yan Yan was startled for a moment, then looked in the direction of the door.
Can't we go together?
His action was obviously misunderstood by Ji Juechuan.
As soon as the office chair retreated, Ji Juechuan stood up, without giving him another look, and walked straight to the door.
Yan Yan had never seen such a posture since he was a child. He was startled by Ji Juechuan's icy face, and his face turned pale.
No matter how dull he is, he can still feel that Ji Juechuan is angry.
Although he didn't know why Ji Juechuan was suddenly angry, he couldn't help being a little scared. He bit his lip and chased after him, grabbing Ji Juechuan's clothes.
"I'll go with you."
Ji Juechuan paused, did not speak, but slowed down so that he could keep up.
The office door opened, and the two people who were waiting outside the door immediately looked over.
When Lu Ji saw Yan Yan with red eye circles following behind Ji Juechuan, his heart skipped a beat.
He remembered that he had been scolded and cried several times by Ji Juechuan when he had just graduated and hadn't become an old fox.
At that time, the company had just started, and Ji Juechuan was strict with everything, and would be reprimanded by him if he made a slight mistake. At that time, Lu Ji had just entered the society, and his psychological endurance was extremely weak. I have to hide in the bathroom and cry for a while.
They are obviously the same age, but Ji Juechuan has a sense of coercion, and he is merciless when he speaks.
Now seeing Yan Yan's beautiful eyes turned red and pitiful, Lu Ji's first reaction was to die.
Mr. Ji wouldn't have scolded his wife like a subordinate, right?
Sheng Mowen also noticed that Yan Yan's condition was not right, he frowned, and stepped forward: "Yan Yan, you..."
Before he could say the rest, he saw Ji Juechuan take a few steps forward, blocking Yan Yan behind him whether it was intentional or not.
Yan Yan poked his head out from behind Ji Juechuan, his eyes were still shining: "Mo Wen, I can't go to dinner with you today, I'm sorry."
Hearing Yan Yan's address to Sheng Mowen, Ji Juechuan's anger that had just subsided seemed to flare up again.
Just now he called Mr. Ji to him, but now he calls him intimately to others. Who is his fiancé?
Sheng Mowen frowned even more. He felt that something was wrong with the atmosphere between Yan Yan and Ji Juechuan. He wanted to say something more, but was interrupted by another voice.
"Director Sheng, do you have anything else to do?"
The unhappiness in the man's voice was obvious, Sheng Mowen glanced at Ji Juechuan in surprise, thought for a while, and stepped out of the way, "It's all right."
Lu Ji breathed a sigh of relief, and hurried forward to smooth things over: "Director Sheng, I'll take you down."
He took Sheng Mowen into the elevator, quickly pressed the close button under Sheng Mowen's puzzled eyes, and separated Ji Juechuan and Yan Yan from the door. Then he was completely relieved, and rubbed his arms again.
What kind of hell-level scene was that just now, if he didn't withdraw his life, he would lose half of it.
When only the two of them were left in the corridor, Ji Juechuan pressed the elevator and waited for the elevator to come up without saying a word.
He didn't speak, and Yan Yan didn't dare to make a sound, just lowered his eyes to stare at the floor, and gently rubbed his sore eyes with one hand.
The two walked out of the company in silence. Uncle Zhao was already waiting downstairs. As soon as the two got into the car, he sensed that something was wrong with the atmosphere between them.
He glanced in the rearview mirror a few more times, feeling a little puzzled.
Wasn't it fine when I came to the company today? Why did it become like this after an afternoon.
Uncle Zhao turned the steering wheel and drove onto the road, and asked, "Mr. Ji, are you going to Yakou Pavilion for dinner?"
In the afternoon, Ji Juechuan called him and asked him to reserve a seat at Yakou Pavilion. Yakou Pavilion is a very special restaurant, and it is difficult to get a seat. He reserved a place.
Seeing that Ji Juechuan seemed to be in a bad mood, he was worried that the plan would change, so he asked one more question.
Yan Yan was already hungry. Hearing this sentence, he quietly raised his head to look at Ji Juechuan.
Angry is angry, you still have to eat, right?
Ji Juechuan didn't seem to notice his gaze, and looked out of the car window lightly: "I won't go, just go home."
Yan Yan was stunned for a moment, opened his mouth to say something, but finally flattened his mouth and said nothing.
The car quickly arrived at the gate of the villa.
Under Uncle Zhao's worried eyes, Ji Juechuan and Yan Yan entered the house silently, one in front of the other.
After entering the door, Ji Juechuan went upstairs to the study, leaving a message that Yan was alone in the living room.
As soon as he entered the study, Ji Juechuan took out his mobile phone and asked someone to pack the dishes from Yakou Pavilion and send them over. Because he didn't know Yan Yan's taste, he asked them to cook all the dishes.
After finishing the phone call, he sat down on the sofa, leaned back, raised his hand and rubbed the space between his eyebrows.
I don't know what nerve is wrong with him. He rarely has such big emotions about things outside the company. It's obviously just a trivial matter. He can completely ignore it, but he has to make such a big fuss.
It was as if he wanted Yan Yan to know that he was unhappy.
Nothing is boring.
Over there, Yan Yan sat on the sofa in the living room in a daze for a while, until his stomach screamed before he came back to his senses and rubbed his stomach.
I always feel that the current scene is a bit familiar. It seems to be the same when he met Ji Juechuan on the first day. After booking a restaurant, Ji Juechuan didn't make it because of a word, which made him hungry.
Why does being with Ji Juechuan always make him hungry?
Yan Yan curled his lips, took out his phone, and wanted to see if there was any delivery software on the phone.
As soon as I turned on the phone, the doorbell rang.
He glanced in the direction of the study on the second floor, hesitated for a moment, and opened the door anyway.
"Mr. Ji... eh?" The people outside the door saw him, with a bit of surprise on their faces, and then quickly realized, "These are ordered by Mr. Ji, do you need me to help you get them in?"
Yan Yan smelled a tempting fragrance, glanced at the seven or eight large bags in the man's hand, nodded, and led him to the restaurant.
The man put the things on the table, said "Enjoy your meal" and left.
Yan Yan brought out all the vegetables in the bag, which filled the whole table, he swallowed, a little hesitant.
These should be ordered by Ji Juechuan to eat by himself. Would it be bad if he ate them?
After thinking for a while, he picked up the chopsticks again.
Ji Juechuan had promised to take him to dinner at noon, but he broke his promise at night, even if he ate the whole table, he should have done it!
Yan Yan sat down at the dining table filled with righteous indignation, and began to enjoy the food on the table with peace of mind.
Although he wanted to eat all the dishes in his heart and not leave a mouthful for Ji Juechuan, he was full soon, and the dishes on the table were only slightly tampered with.
After eating a full stomach, the resentment in his heart disappeared a lot, Yan Yan looked at the dishes on the table that were all "stained by rain and dew" by himself, glanced at the second floor with some guilt, and slipped back to the room.
When Ji Juechuan came out of the study at night, he found that there was no movement in the living room. He went to the dining room to take a look. A pair of used chopsticks were placed on the bowl, and the dishes on the table also showed signs of being touched.
He relaxed without a trace in his heart, turned around and walked upstairs.
When he opened the door, it was still quiet inside. He walked in and saw that Yan Yan was already lying under the quilt, instead of sitting on the bedside waiting for him like yesterday.
Ji Juechuan pursed his lips, walked to the bed, and looked down at the person on the bed.
Although the person on the bed only poked out half of his head from under the quilt, it could be seen from his trembling long eyelashes that he was not asleep.
He knew that he had done a little too much today, and he shouldn't have been cold-faced to Yan Yan in the company for no reason, and he shouldn't have promised to take him to dinner but broke his promise.
Anyone who is treated like this will lose their temper.
But he just didn't want to see Yan Yan ignore him.
"Yan Yan."
Hearing this sound, Yan Yan's eyes closed even tighter, and his breathing eased.
He was really frightened by Ji Juechuan's appearance in the afternoon. Although he was a little angry, he was more afraid.
After waiting for a while, the room became quiet, as if the sound just now was just his illusion.
Just as he was thinking about whether Ji Juechuan had left, a deep voice sounded above his head again:
"You haven't said good night to me yet."
