381: Time Management Master

Curious as she was, Yan Ran didn't choose to get to the bottom of it.

As a man, it's nothing unusual for him to have a few secrets of his own.

Anyway, looking at Ye Su, he doesn't seem like someone who does any [illegal business], and that's enough.

Just as the atmosphere was harmonious, Ye Su seized the opportunity to carry out his "plan," wrapping his arms around Yan Ran from the left and right along with Chen Xinyi:

"Why don't you just stay the night? If nothing else, I can sleep on the floor and give the bed to you two."

"Sigh—"

Yan Ran let out a helpless groan upon hearing this.

Judging by the situation, if she didn't agree, this man certainly wouldn't give up easily:

"I didn't bring any change of clothes, so how can I stay the night here?"

Hearing that Yan Ran didn't refuse outright, Ye Su knew there was a chance:

"Then just wear Chen Xinyi's."

At this moment, Chen Xinyi, whose heart was racing, peeked out from behind Yan Ran's neck, her tone awkward as she said weakly:

"Sister Ran won't fit into my underwear..."

As she spoke, Chen Xinyi boldly tugged at Yan Ran's collar, and before her hand was swatted away by Yan Ran, she quickly took a few peeks inside.

Spectacular!

Simply spectacular!

I really don't know how Sister Ran grew to be like this!

It must be tiring, right?

"I see you've really grown bold, daring to tease me now."

"Hehe."

Because of her earlier actions, she received a glance from Yan Ran, and Chen Xinyi immediately started acting dumb with a silly grin.

Yan Ran certainly couldn't get angry at Chen Xinyi's abruptness, and seeing her obsequious grin, she could only helplessly pinch her nose:

"Stop hanging out with him so much, you've been corrupted by him."

Ye Su was inexplicably blamed, but for once, he didn't speak up for himself:

"It's fine, then just don't wear any. Anyway, you girls always shed your constraints as soon as you get home."

"What, if I don't wear it tonight, am I not going to wear it when I go back to Joyful Gathering tomorrow either?"

"Just put the clothes you changed out of into the washing machine to spin-dry. With this weather, they'll definitely be dry by tomorrow." Ye Su persisted:

"If they aren't dry by tomorrow morning, you can just go out in the afternoon. You're the boss anyway, so no one can control whether you go back to the company or not."

Yan Ran was helpless and turned to look at Chen Xinyi: "What about you, are you also letting me stay the night here?"

"Uh..."

Chen Xinyi also knew that such a day would come sooner or later. Although she felt shy, she didn't dwell on it:

"I'll listen to both of you."

Ever since she got together with Ye Su, Chen Xinyi had become less and less inclined to think for herself, listening to Ye Su's decisions for everything.

Now that there was Yan Ran, who was smarter and more experienced than her, Chen Xinyi naturally wanted to use her brain even less, letting the two of them decide everything.

In Ye Su's words, Chen Xinyi's brain could be sold for a higher price than others in the future.

Because it was rarely used, it was just like new.

"Fine." Under Ye Su's eager gaze, Yan Ran finally compromised: "I'll stay the night here, but I'm on my period, so you have to sleep on the floor."

"No problem."

As long as Yan Ran agreed to stay the night, let alone sleeping on the floor, even if she asked him to sleep upside down tonight, Ye Su would agree first without hesitation.

Seeing Ye Su's reaction, Yan Ran couldn't help but spit:

"You, day in and day out, is your mind only filled with these kinds of things?"

Ye Su didn't feel ashamed; on the contrary, he felt proud:

"As a male college student in the prime of his puberty, isn't it only natural for me to think of you?"

A boy's puberty generally occurs between the ages of 12 and 18, and usually doesn't last past 20.

But because Ye Su's [Physique] attribute kept increasing, he was even going through a second growth spurt, having shot up another centimeter.

To say he was still in the prime of his puberty wasn't wrong.

And Ye Su's age advantage left Yan Ran with no way to refute.

"In the prime of puberty, huh? No wonder you have so much energy."

Ye Su thought Yan Ran was going to praise him, and just as he was about to agree, he heard Yan Ran change the subject:

"No wonder after staying at my place last night, you spent the morning shopping with me, lunch with me, and after saying you had to go back to school for class in the afternoon, you still had time to have afternoon tea with the young lady of the Li family, and incidentally help her chase away a suitor."

"After accompanying the young lady of the Li family, you were able to seamlessly transition back to have dinner with us, and even asked me to stay the night."

Yan Ran smiled and looked directly at Ye Su: "You really are a high-energy time management master."

"Hahaha..."

Being called out by Yan Ran using the afternoon's events, Ye Su could only start playing dumb, scratching the back of his head and smiling apologetically.

Yan Ran couldn't be bothered with him anymore and turned to chat with Chen Xinyi about topics between women.

...

Just as the three of them—Ye Su, Chen Xinyi, and Yan Ran—were getting along harmoniously, inside No. 18 Zijing Villa District, Li Shanhai was holding the same video and asking Li Mengyao what was going on.

"It's nothing, I was just having afternoon tea with Ye Su at the Rosewood Hotel this afternoon, and Lin Youde popped out of nowhere to harass me. Ye Su blocked him and taught him a lesson in the process..."

In the video posted on the platform this afternoon, someone recognized her identity, which naturally attracted the attention of the [Poyun] public relations department.

After all, she wasn't a celebrity, and didn't need this kind of tabloid news.

To prevent any impact on the [Poyun] brand, the PR department reacted quickly and reported all the videos found on major platforms to have them taken down.

Since it involved Li Mengyao, this matter naturally reached Li Shanhai's ears.

After listening to Li Mengyao simply recount the ins and outs of the matter, Li Shanhai nodded expressionlessly:

"As long as the fault doesn't lie with you, that's fine. Next time you encounter such a thing and Ye Su isn't by your side, you call me, and I'll go directly to Lin Weizhi to demand an explanation."

Wang Lijuan was also on the side, saying angrily:

"This Lin Youde, why does he have no gentlemanly demeanor at all? He knows you are with Ye Su, yet he still has the nerve to harass you there!"

The couple only had this one precious daughter, Li Mengyao.

Usually, they wouldn't say they protected her so much they were afraid she'd melt in their mouths or break if held in their palms, but they absolutely would not allow her to be bullied by others.

"I know." Knowing that her parents were worried about her being wronged, Li Mengyao nodded obediently:

"This time, he was slapped in the face by Ye Su and lost five million to him. Unless he really has no shame at all, Lin Youde shouldn't come looking for me again."

"Hmm."

Hearing Li Mengyao mention that Ye Su stood up and chased Lin Youde away, Li Shanhai's expression softened slightly, and he nodded gently, saying:

"Remember to tell Ye Su that if Lin Youde dares to cause him trouble again, he should come home and tell me, and I will definitely uphold justice for him."

[Poyun] and [Xin Ji], one is in the jewelry business, and the other runs a chain of gyms.

Although there isn't much difference in strength between the two companies, their businesses and target customer groups basically don't overlap much, and there is no business interaction between the two sides.

Ye Su only offended Lin Youde because of Li Mengyao.

Reasonably and emotionally, if Ye Su were to face retaliation from Lin Youde, Li Shanhai wouldn't mind sticking up for him and demanding an explanation from Lin Youde and his father.
