105: Chapter 105 I'm talking to Brother Che about topics that aren't suitable for children, do you want to hear it too?

"I mean, my parents are coming to Nansu, and we'll have a meal at home then." Jiang Che explained gently.

After he finished speaking, Luo Yao was stunned for a moment, and then her ears turned red.

"I, I was joking. You go eat, I won't go."

Just after saying that, Luo Yao was suddenly a bit puzzled, then looked at An Ran, "Were you just asking Sister An Ran to go with you?"

Jiang Che was a bit dumbfounded; Luo Yao had actually realized it.

But before he could speak, An Ran said softly, "How about you join us too? We can treat your parents to a meal?"

Hearing An Ran's suggestion, Luo Yao's eyes lit up, "That works! Brother Che, what do you think?"

Jiang Che glanced at An Ran and noticed the inquiry and expectation in her eyes; he immediately realized that she was a bit nervous about meeting his parents alone.

"Sure, but I should be the one to treat, otherwise it wouldn't be right to let you spend money."

Luo Yao smiled sweetly: "It's okay, we're not outsiders. But if you want to treat, that's fine too. I'll just treat you to more lunches and milk tea at the office later."

When he saw Luo Yao looking at him straight-faced and full of joy, Jiang Che knew that what An Ran said was likely true: this girl liked him, and... she had even told An Ran.

"By the way, Brother Che, for our business trip next Monday, what time should we book the tickets for?"

"I'll check later and book yours along with mine."

"Hehe, thanks. I'll send you my ID number. What about the hotel?"

When Luo Yao mentioned the tickets just now, An Ran didn't react, but when she mentioned the hotel, An Ran couldn't help but lift her head and glance at Jiang Che.

Jiang Che could feel a chill on his back without even turning his head, so he said: "Forget it, let Xiao Chen from the General Affairs Department book the tickets and hotel for everyone."

"Huh? But I heard that if they book it, the reimbursement process is very troublesome."

"If it's booked centrally, you don't have to pay out of pocket anyway. Just gather the receipts and hand them to her later," An Ran reminded him.

"That works too! Hehe, do you think I should tell Xiao Chen to book our rooms together, like right next to each other?"

As soon as she said that, not only An Ran, but Jiang Che was also stunned.

He instinctively glanced at An Ran and asked softly: "Book them together... for what?"

"It's convenient~" Luo Yao said with an innocent face.

But as soon as those three words came out, the office suddenly went quiet.

Jiang Che broke out in a cold sweat, silently chanting in his heart: Yaoyao, oh Yaoyao, I have no grudges with you from the past or present, please be careful with your words...

Sure enough, Jiang Che didn't speak, but this time, An Ran couldn't hold back. Looking at Luo Yao, she said with profound meaning: "Convenient?"

Luo Yao nodded heavily, but soon, seeing the two of them looking at her with strange expressions, she realized her words were ambiguous.

Her face instantly turned red, and she quickly explained: "No, no, that's not what I meant. I meant that staying next door is convenient for going out, eating breakfast, and things like that."

An Ran smiled gently. Luo Yao was a simple-minded girl; how could she not know that?

"Alright, I won't scare you anymore." An Ran paused, "It's your first business trip, stay safe, and also..."

She glanced at Jiang Che and continued to Luo Yao: "Protect yourself and stay away from bad people."

Although Luo Yao was innocent, she still saw An Ran's look. She saw her expression looking a bit strange at Jiang Che, and she muttered softly: "Bad person?"

Jiang Che was speechless, "Are you talking about me?"

An Ran looked innocent, "No, I'm just reminding Yaoyao."

Taking advantage of when An Ran wasn't paying attention, Luo Yao secretly stuck her tongue out at Jiang Che and smiled.

Jiang Che looked at An Ran and said: "How about you tell the boss that the three of us should just go on the business trip together?"

Hearing this, Luo Yao immediately nodded.

An Ran looked at Jiang Che, then at Luo Yao, and a phrase popped into her mind inexplicably: "One on each arm."

A moment later, she spat softly: "Pah, in your dreams."

Jiang Che immediately knew she had included Luo Yao in that thought, but Luo Yao was confused: "Why is it 'in your dreams'?"

Jiang Che glanced at her: "Grown-ups are talking, kids shouldn't interrupt."

"You're the kid." Luo Yao said unconvinced, puffing out her chest as she spoke.

Jiang Che just didn't manage to retract his gaze in time and caught a glimpse, and then was given a meaningful look by An Ran.

"Business trip?" A voice suddenly popped up from the side, startling the three of them.

"Brother Fei, didn't you go to a meeting? I thought you weren't in the office!" Luo Yao said, patting her chest.

Yang Fei had a keyboard imprint on his face from sleeping. He rubbed his face and cursed: "Damn, I fell asleep. What were you just saying? Everyone is going on a business trip? Then won't I become a 'left-behind child'?"

An Ran looked at him helplessly: "Yes, a left-behind child. No one is managing the office, so you can bring your sheets and quilt and sleep from work start to work end."

Hearing the mockery in An Ran's tone, Yang Fei smiled sheepishly: "Occasionally, just occasionally. I worked too late last night, that's why I'm sleep-deprived."

"Is that so? Why do I remember someone from our department leaving early yesterday? And... there was a woman with a great figure waiting for you downstairs?"

Hearing Jiang Che expose him, Yang Fei looked helpless and muttered to himself: "If her figure wasn't so good, would I be this tired today?"

As soon as these words came out, Luo Yao immediately frowned: "What does having a good figure have to do with being too tired?"

Jiang Che held back his laughter: "Yaoyao, in the future, whenever Yang Fei says something you don't understand, it's best not to ask."

"Why? Sister An Ran, what does Brother Fei mean?"

Her question made An Ran feel embarrassed too. She then looked at Yang Fei and Jiang Che, "You two, no nonsense in the office. Don't lead Yaoyao astray."

"Understood. I'll only say things like that when Yaoyao isn't around and it's just the three of us!"

"Get lost, don't lead me astray either." Jiang Che threw a paper ball at him, but Yang Fei caught it precisely.

Before Yang Fei could speak, An Ran said first: "You're the worst one in the office; who else could lead you astray?"

Luo Yao didn't catch it and just thought An Ran was joking with Jiang Che, but after hearing it, Yang Fei opened his eyes wide, looking at the two of them as if he had discovered a new world.

"What's wrong?" Jiang Che asked, seeing his strange expression.

Yang Fei wanted to say something but stopped, but seeing An Ran also looking at him, he shook his head.

Soon, everyone went back to their own business. After An Ran left, Yang Fei walked over to Jiang Che and then said to Luo Yao: "Yaoyao, you go out first."

Luo Yao frowned: "Why?"

"Brother Che and I are going to talk about inappropriate topics; you want to listen too?"

Hearing this, Luo Yao's pretty face turned red instantly. She glared at Yang Fei and then walked out.

Jiang Che saw him staring intently and directly at him, so he said: "What? Kidney deficiency? Want me to recommend an old TCM doctor?"

Yang Fei wasn't angry; he put his arm around Jiang Che's shoulder and smiled cheekily, "Did you win over An Ran?"

Jiang Che, who had just picked up his mineral water for a sip, immediately sprayed it all over Yang Fei.

"Damn, who the hell did you hear that from?"
