His hand which held Yin Yan\u2019s was sweaty and his ears and face looked ready to light up in flames. His heart raced and breathing was a little difficult.<\/span><\/p>

Yin Yan abruptly let go of his hand, turned around, and pulled off Yu Zhen\u2019s scarf. He pinched Yu Zhen\u2019s nose and ordered, \u201cOpen your mouth.\u201d<\/span><\/p>

Yu Zhen exhaled and inhaled deeply through his mouth.<\/span><\/p>

\u201cAre you trying to suffocate yourself?\u201d Yin Yan let go of his nose and rapped him on his head again.<\/span><\/p>

As fresh air entered his lungs, the feeling of suffocation from holding his breath left him.<\/span><\/p>

Yu Zhen\u2019s face and ears turned an even deeper shade of red. Shaking his head vigorously, he tried to explain that he\u2019d just forgotten to breathe, but he choked on a cold breeze instead. He pitifully clutched at his throat and coughed, embarrassment and anxiety in his mind.<\/span><\/p>

What\u2019s with me today? Why do I keep doing embarrassing things in front of Yin Yan?\u00a0<\/span><\/i><\/p>

Yin Yan patted his back and said, \u201cIt\u2019s alright. The receptionist and guards will have to watch lots of people today, they won\u2019t remember such a small thing.\u201d<\/span><\/p>

“I’m not\u2026 No, I am!”<\/span><\/p>

At the peak of his embarrassment, an unknown burst of heroic fighting spirit rose within him. He gathered up his courage and grabbed Yin Yan\u2019s hand. Acting as if it wasn\u2019t a big deal, he added, \u201cLet\u2019s go. I\u2019m very hungry. Let go eat!\u201d<\/span><\/p>

The nurturing of feelings starts with food. Having the same preferences for food is a good way of reducing the distance between two people! En! It should be done this way!<\/span><\/i><\/p>

It was the first time he\u2019d taken the initiative to hold Yin Yan\u2019s hand. Nervous, his grip on Yin Yan\u2019s hand was tight. If it were a woman whose hand was being held, they would have yelped at the pain.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

However, Yin Yan wasn\u2019t a woman. He wasn\u2019t even a regular man.<\/span><\/p>

Yin Yan lowered his gaze to their interwoven hands. After a few seconds, he looked up at Yu Zhen\u2019s reddened ears and face. A feeling of warmth crept into his eyes and a smile shone through. He returned the hold on his hand. He followed Yu Zhen and said, \u201cAlright. Let\u2019s go and eat. Where did you park the car?\u201d<\/span><\/p>

\u201cOver there.\u201d Yu Zhen pointed. He walked somewhat stiffly and his arm was outstretched as if it had been thwacked into that position with a rock.<\/span><\/p>

Yin Yan looked in the pointed direction and found that it wasn\u2019t far away. As they walked, he said, \u201cYou came at a good time. In the afternoon, there will be a meeting with the team members of the project. You should take part in it.\u201d<\/span><\/p>

Right now, whatever he says goes. <\/span><\/i>Yu Zhen nodded and remained focused on their clasped hands.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

This won\u2019t do. It\u2019s hot. I\u2019m going to sweat again.<\/span><\/i><\/p>

I heard that if you sweat while holding hands, you\u2019ll be hated. What should I do? Is there a way for me to not sweat? I clearly didn\u2019t sweat like this in the past.<\/span><\/i><\/p>

That\u2019s right! I\u2019m a cultivator! I can use magic to stop the sweating.<\/span><\/i><\/p>

En. Magic. Magic\u2026 Cleaning magic?<\/span><\/i><\/p>

How would cleaning magic work?<\/span><\/i><\/p>

“Car key.”<\/span><\/p>

Without his noticing, they had arrived at his parking spot. Their hands loosened and a cold breeze blew past them. <\/span>Nevermind sweat, my excitement needs to be dealt with.<\/span><\/i><\/p>

Faster than he could think, Yu Zhen made his move and grabbed onto the hand Yin Yan was moving away.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

The air around them stilled for a moment.<\/span><\/p>

Yin Yan looked at him and asked, “What’s the matter?”<\/span><\/p>

\u201c… My\u2026 key is in the coat pocket,\u201d Yu Zhen replied stiffly. He let go of that hand but pulled on Yin Yan\u2019s other hand and began searching in the dirty coat\u2019s pockets.<\/span><\/p>

Yin Yan moved too, holding Yu Zhen\u2019s searching hand and removing it from the coat. Then he began searching in the jacket himself. After he found the keys, he pulled open the door and motioned for Yu Zhen to get in. \u201cYour hands are a little cold. You should get in first.\u201d<\/span><\/p>

How can he be so calm? How can Yin Yan be so calm?<\/span><\/i><\/p>

We were both holding hands. Here I am, so nervous that I keep making mistakes, but he\u2019s as calm as usual.<\/span><\/i><\/p>

If Yin Yan has no feelings towards me, then all of his actions are just that of an elder taking care of their junior.<\/span><\/i><\/p>

At a loss, Yu Zhen pursed his lips as he glanced at Yin Yan. Stooping, he got into the car and fastened his safety belt.<\/span><\/p>

Yin Yan felt the drop in his mood and looked down at the top of his head. He reached out and gently touched his head. \u201cThe people in the lobby really won\u2019t remember. I\u2019ll make you Eight Treasures Cubed Rabbit tonight.\u201d<\/span><\/p>

The hand on his head was very gentle and the use of that dish to coax Yu Zhen was subtle.<\/span><\/p>

Yu Zhen blinked blankly. The mix of nervousness, shame, panic, and distress melted away in a short space of time. Raising his head to look at Yin Yan\u2019s ever calm expression, a softness welled in his heart and he asked, \u201cDo you want me to catch a hare again?\u201d<\/span><\/p>

Feeling the change in his emotions again, Yin Yan looked at Yu Zhen\u2019s particularly cute and childish expression. A confusing sense of hesitation appeared within him and he was unable to hold back from gently rubbing Yu Zhen\u2019s hair again. He replied, \u201cYou don\u2019t need to this time.\u201d<\/span><\/p>

Yes. It\u2019s just like this. Although Yin Yan tends to wear no expression, his actions are very gentle.<\/span><\/i><\/p>

Yu Zhen\u2019s mood soared. He smiled and replied, \u201cI can help you!\u201d<\/span><\/p>

\u201cEn.\u201d Feeling Yu Zhen\u2019s happiness, Yin Yan relaxed. He removed his hand and shut the passenger door. He then took his place in the driver’s seat and glanced at Yu Zhen once again before heading to the Japanese restaurant.<\/span><\/p>

Yu Zhen had only casually mentioned wanting to eat Japanese food. At the time, he had said, \u201cI\u2019ve grown to this age, but I haven\u2019t had proper Japanese food yet. If I get the chance, I\u2019d like to try it.\u201d It was but a simple sigh of regret. He hadn\u2019t expected Yin Yan to remember it and especially take him out for it.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

Throughout the meal, Yu Zhen secretly observed Yin Yan, trying to find out what his preferences were.<\/span><\/p>

Observation was the key to gathering information. However, all sorts of feelings welled up in his heart as he watched Yin Yan.<\/span><\/p>

From ordering the dishes, to ordering seconds, to choosing the sauces and also swapping sake for juice, everything Yin Yan did was in consideration of Yu Zhen rather than himself. Everything that he did felt natural. It was so natural that if he hadn\u2019t been paying attention, Yu Zhen would have missed the special care he was being given.<\/span><\/p>

The juice was filled up perfectly. Any dishes that he tasted once but didn\u2019t have a second bite of were promptly removed. Dishes that he picked from more often were swiftly placed before him\u2026 <\/span>I knew that Yin Yan was good to me, but I had no idea he was so meticulous about it. He practically takes care of everything.<\/span><\/i><\/p>

This man is too great.<\/span><\/i><\/p>

He looked at the sushi that was moved in front of him \u201cwithout him noticing\u201d and squeezed his chopsticks.<\/span><\/p>

Under this kind of tender treatment, even the coldest of people would fall in love with him. So it\u2019s not at all strange for me to fall in love with him. This is so normal, it can\u2019t be any more normal.\u00a0<\/span><\/i><\/p>

Compared to him, I\u2019m not doing nearly enough. I\u2019m like a scoundrel who only knows how to take, but not how to give back.<\/span><\/i><\/p>

He was both moved and gloomy over the realization. The movement of Yin Yan\u2019s chopsticks paused and he looked at Yu Zhen who faced the sushi before him with a rueful expression. After a couple of seconds of silence, he beckoned to a waiter and motioned for some sushi to be packed up to be taken home.<\/span><\/p>

Yu Zhen\u2019s senses returned to reality and he asked, \u201cAre you bringing food for someone?\u201d<\/span><\/p>

\u201cIf you like it, I can bring you here again in the future.\u201d Yin Yan shook his head and moved a plate of sauce in front of Yu Zhen. \u201cThis is the first time you\u2019re eating a Japanese meal. Your stomach might not like it so remember to have a pill later.\u201d<\/span><\/p>

So why are you asking for some to be packed?<\/span><\/i><\/p>

Yu Zhen became even more puzzled, but as he looked at Yin Yan\u2019s handsome face he didn\u2019t want to ask any more questions. He nodded obediently and continued to eat sushi.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

After they finished their meals, they returned to the office. Yu Zhen had been struck down by his own self-label of \u201cscoundrel\u201d so his mood was low. On their way, he asked, \u201cOh, right, Chi Nan…\u201d<\/span><\/p>

\u201cThe formation was broken before it was completed so the lifespans of the residents have been fully returned. On the other hand, their damaged luck and fortune will need to be restored slowly.\u201d Yin Yan parked the car, took off his safety belt, and looked at Yu Zhen. \u201cTonight, we\u2019ll go to Boli Building. I\u2019ll set up a restoring formation for them.\u201d<\/span><\/p>

Relieved at his words, Yu Zhen looked at the ever-reliable Yin Yan and couldn\u2019t help but say, \u201cYou\u2019re really amazing.\u201d<\/span><\/p>

Yin Yan paused in the motion of pushing open the car door and he looked back at Yu Zhen.<\/span><\/p>

Embarrassed by the look, Yu Zhen had turned his head away and whispered, \u201cWh-Why are you looking at me?… You <\/span>are<\/span><\/i> amazing.\u201d\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

Yin Yan simply replied, “Boot-licker.”<\/span><\/p>

Yu Zhen\u2019s expression froze and he turned to look back, but Yin Yan had already alighted from the car. What greeted him was the sight of a door being shut.<\/span><\/p>

“…”\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

They walked into the lobby, one ahead of the other. Yu Zhen still wore Yin Yan\u2019s coat and Yin Yan was still just wearing his sweater while the dirty coat had been left in the car.\u00a0 Yu Zhen\u2019s brows were a little knitted, giving him a slightly unhappy look.<\/span><\/p>

When the receptionists and guards saw them enter, they perked up. It was hard to detect, but the gazes of the staff moved between the two of them. A <\/span>gossipy <\/span>feeling filled the air.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

Yin Yan and Yu Zhen didn\u2019t pay attention to their looks. Instead, they went straight into the exclusive elevator.<\/span><\/p>

When the elevator doors shut, YinYan pressed the button for the highest floor. Turning to look at Yu Zhen, he asked, \u201cAre you angry?\u201d<\/span><\/p>

\u201cNo.\u201d Yu Zhen shook his head. He looked straight ahead at the beautiful, decorative patterns on the door rather than at Yin Yan.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

Yin Yan suddenly reached out and held his hand.<\/span><\/p>

After a moment\u2019s pause, he finally looked at Yin Yan.<\/span><\/p>

\u201cDad is also at the company. Let\u2019s go greet him.\u201d Yin Yan pulled him closer just as the elevator doors opened. Then he led Yu Zhen out of the elevator and onto the top floor.<\/span><\/p>

On the top floor, only Yin Hexiang had an individual office. The rest of the floor was meeting rooms and an open-plan office area.<\/span><\/p>

Yin Yan led Yu Zhen through the office space, all the while attracting countless curious looks. Uncomfortable, Yu Zhen fixed his eyes on Yin Yan\u2019s back and pretended he was simply crossing a road.<\/span><\/p>

Yin Hexiang happened to be available when the two of them arrived, so they simply knocked on the door and entered the office.<\/span><\/p>

Seeing Yu Zhen, Yin Hexiang\u2019s serious expression relaxed a little.<\/span><\/p>

In contrast, Yu Zhen was cautious, as if it were his first time meeting his partner\u2019s parent.<\/span><\/p>

Figuring that he was nervous about his first job designing gardens, Yin Hexiang gave him some warm encouragement. Then he instructed Yin Yan to help Yu Zhen with his work and to teach him well.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

After giving their greetings, the two once again walked through the office hand-in-hand under the gazes of the present employees.<\/span><\/p>

“The office area in charge of \u200b\u200bthe leisure center project is on the 15th floor. In a little while, HR will send you your work card. You don\u2019t need to report here every day, just follow me. If there\u2019s a team meeting, I\u2019ll bring you along.\u201d<\/span><\/p>

Seeing that Yu Zhen only nodded silently, and his body language seemed to be a bit stiff, he paused and recalled Yu Zhen\u2019s unusual behavior in the morning. Finally, he couldn’t help but softly ask, “Yu Zhen, do you blame me…”<\/span><\/p>

Ding.<\/span><\/i><\/p>

The elevator door opened, and a young man holding a pile of documents rushed in. Yin Yan quickly pulled Yu Zhen to his side.<\/span><\/p>

Yu Zhen was listening attentively to his words, so when he was pulled he became unbalanced and fell into Yin Yan\u2019s arms. His body turned rigid, and he quickly righted himself up.<\/span><\/p>

It was only after the young man had entered that he noticed there were people inside the elevator. He would\u2019ve been unable to stop himself from bumping into Yu Zhen, so he sighed in relief when Yu Zhen was pulled away. Once he stopped and was stable on his feet, he turned and apologized, \u201cSorry, my apologies, I\u2019m in a rush so I wasn\u2019t paying attention to where I was going. These materials are urgently needed in the upstairs meeting room, I\u2026 Yu Zhen?\u201d<\/span><\/p>

Yu Zhen looked at the person cautiously then, when he remembered them, he asked, \u201cAre you the\u2026 erm, alumni from that day?\u201d<\/span><\/p>

Noticing his uncertainty, the young man\u2019s grip on the documents tightened. He glanced at Yin Yan and stiffly smiled, \u201cYeah, that was me. I\u2019m Cao Xingdong. My dad was quite rude that day\u2026 Um, why are you here? Do you also work here?\u201d<\/span><\/p>

\u201cI guess you can say that. I just started today.\u201d<\/span><\/p>

Yu Zhen was vague in his reply. He was too embarrassed to say that he had entered through connections. He pulled Yin Yan out of the elevator and replied with a smile, \u201cHurry on up. Didn\u2019t you say they needed those urgently? It wouldn\u2019t be good to let the people in the meeting room wait for long.\u201d<\/span><\/p>

Cao Xingdong was dazzled by his smile. Once he regained his senses, he glanced at Yin Yan again before finally mumbling a goodbye. He then pressed on the button for the top floor and kept his gaze trained on the floor.<\/span><\/p>

\u201cHe\u2019s a new intern for the company. He has a temporary work pass.\u201d Yin Yan watched the number on the elevator rise and he continued, \u201cHe\u2019s not very effective in his work. The people who need the materials are upstairs. If they are pressed for time, going up the stairs would be faster than taking the elevator.\u201d<\/span><\/p>

Yu Zhen turned to look at him, inspecting him from top to bottom.<\/span><\/p>

Yin Yan returned his look with a calm expression. Still holding hands, he continued to lead Yu Zhen across the fifteenth floor with the same expressionlessness.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

\u201cYou were being a little weird just now.\u201d Yu Zhen looked at him with assessing eyes. He continued with certainty, \u201cYou don\u2019t usually comment on strangers. Is there something wrong with Cai Xingdong?\u201d<\/span><\/p>

“No,” Yin Yan replied. He glanced back at Yu Zhen and said, \u201cYou\u2019re about to enter the workplace. Don\u2019t be as inefficient as him.\u201d<\/span><\/p>

He\u2019s making it sound like he\u2019s giving me a lesson on professionalism.\u00a0<\/span><\/i><\/p>

Yu Zhen was still suspicious. Based on the principle that one should know themselves and the enemy, Yu Zhen analyzed Yin Yan\u2019s unusual words and actions but overlooked the fact that Yin Yan continued to hold his hand. Once again, he was \u201cparaded through the town\u201d for all to see.<\/span><\/p>

The leisure center was a small project with a small number of people working on it. The people working on the project would only be able to fill up half of a small meeting room.<\/span><\/p>

\u00a0He had spoken to each person over the phone before, and with the information provided by Chi Nan, Yin Yan had quickly grasped the character of everyone on the team. After clarifying the progress of each person\u2019s tasks, the meeting proceeded smoothly.<\/span><\/p>

The person who was responsible for the gardens had already been transferred away, so Yu Zhen filled up the vacancy.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

The project team appeared to accept Yu Zhen, this newcomer, with grace.<\/span><\/p>

After all, he was the newly arrived little boss\u2019 partner. They had to give face.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

Yu Zhen felt the curiosity and scrutiny behind their accepting appearance. He smiled and politely responded to them before focusing his attention on the work.<\/span><\/p>

He was a newcomer with no experience and, to top it all off, he had entered the company through the back door. It was expected for him to be sized up by the team. <\/span>I\u2019ll prove myself through my actions. I\u2019ll work hard and not embarrass Yin Yan.<\/span><\/i><\/p>

Without realizing it, an afternoon passed by. Yin Yan ran the meeting very thoroughly. He scrutinized every aspect of the project and broke down each problem. After the exhausting meeting was over, the team had turned into used up husks of themselves.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

I\u2019m convinced. I\u2019m completely convinced.<\/span><\/i><\/p>

When they had first heard that the boss would airdrop his son into the project, they doubted the little boss\u2019 capabilities. They had assumed that the little boss had made a comfortable nest for himself at the branch office because he had no abilities and was only an idiot second-generation.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

But it had become clear that they were wrong.<\/span><\/p>

This little boss is too strong. He\u2019s ruthless and his focus on the problems are shocking. I don\u2019t know what\u2019s going on in his brain. There are so many elements, but he\u2019s managed to give out so much work to us. He actually remembers and knows what was in all those files that were handed over.\u00a0<\/span><\/i><\/p>

They looked to Yu Zhen. Although they\u2019d had a meeting for the whole afternoon, Yu Zhen was still full of energy. They sighed in their hearts.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

They\u2019re so weird.<\/span><\/i><\/p>

Although airdropped guy number two wasn\u2019t as scary as their little boss, he was stubbornly conscientious. With their higher age counts, they couldn\u2019t endure the youthful energy.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

\u201cDepartment Head Liu, if area A is really becoming an art and literature hallway, then the greenery plans from before need to be scrapped and the bonsai decorations need to be changed.\u201d<\/span><\/p>

Yu Zhen simply drew a sketch of his general idea for new greenery plans. He handed it to a balding middle-aged man and said, \u201cHave a look. Would this high-altitude growing plant do? Part of the art and literature hallway is open air. A broad and tall tree would block the sunlight. This type of shorter plant should be just right.\u201d<\/span><\/p>

The department head trembled when he saw Yu Zhen push the piece of paper over. He hurriedly waved his hand and replied, \u201cDepartment Head Yu, you can decide. Later, I\u2019ll give you a copy of the plans for the leisure center. You can alter the designs as you please since I\u2019m not familiar with <\/span>landscape architecture<\/span>.\u201d<\/span><\/p>

Smiling, he then turned to Yin Yan and said, \u201cUm\u2026 Manager, today\u2019s meeting…\u201d<\/span><\/p>

\u201cIt\u2019s concluded.\u201d Yin Yan finally closed the documents in front of him. He glanced over at everyone and said, \u201cThanks for your hard work, the meeting is over.\u201d<\/span><\/p>

\u201cIt\u2019s not hard, it\u2019s not hard. It\u2019s what we should be doing,\u201d responded a female department head. Afraid that he would think of any other problems and drag them in for more discussions, she clutched her documents closer to her chest.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

Seeing their exhaustion, Yin Yan tactfully got up. He walked over to Yu Zhen’s side and helped him tidy up his documents. He gathered up all the documents and then left with Yu Zhen in tow, clearly showing that he did not intend to hide their relationship.<\/span><\/p>

The inside of the meeting room remained quiet until the meeting room\u2019s door was shut. The female department head finally relaxed. She let out a long sigh and said to two colleagues beside her, \u201cHey, you singles group. Did you see the matching rings on Department Head Yu and the little boss? It seems like they\u2026 you know.\u201d<\/span><\/p>

\u201cBut hasn\u2019t the little boss been chasing after the daughter of Dingli\u2019s chairman these past few years? Before the new year, Dingli\u2019s precious miss was even here at our company. How come after the new year…\u201d<\/span><\/p>

\u201cDon\u2019t mention that precious miss from Dingli. I have a good friend who works at Qianle. I heard that the boss of Qianle cut off supplies to Dingli and blocked their business. It\u2019s part of their falling out.\u201d<\/span><\/p>

As the two young colleagues began discussing the topic with the woman, the weariness disappeared from their faces and was replaced with gleeful, gossipy expressions.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

The woman excitedly asked, \u201cA falling out t? What happened?\u201d<\/span><\/p>

\u201cI don\u2019t know. Anyway, the boss really hated the young miss from Dingli. She doesn\u2019t even hide it.\u201d The colleague shook his head. Remembering something, he excitedly added, \u201cHey, how do you think this little boss\u2019 partner got here? He looks good. His temper is good. He even studied horticulture. He deals with flowers and plants everyday\u2026 Do you think he\u2019s a young master of some noble family?\u201d<\/span><\/p>

The woman rolled her eyes. \u201cNoble family? Where can you find noble families in China these days? But Department Head Yu does have a nice appearance and personality. He\u2019s easy on the eyes. Compared to the woman from Dingli, he\u2019s nicer to look at.\u201d<\/span><\/p>

\u201cOhoho. Are you jealous? Although Dingli isn\u2019t big, they do count as… \u201d<\/span><\/p>

Cough! Cough! Cough!<\/span><\/i><\/p>

The half-bald Manager Liu suddenly coughed a few times, stood up, and said, “Pay attention to the situation.” After that, he took his documents and left the meeting room.<\/span><\/p>

“Ha! A male pet who came in through the back door has been described by you lot as a noble young master. If the little boss really valued \u200b\u200bYu Zhen, would he only buy him a gold ring?” A middle-aged man with a slightly mean appearance also stood up. While packing up his documents, he said, “To be so lovey-dovey and crooked in a public place – this style of working is too disgusting.\u201d<\/span><\/p>

After that, he turned and also left.<\/span><\/p>

Since he usually couldn\u2019t stand Zhou Wei, one of the men frowned and muttered, \u201cDid Zhou Wei eat gunpowder? His words are too harsh. He even talked about a style of working. Department Head Yu clearly didn\u2019t do anything. If someone was acting crooked, it\u2019d be the little boss. His eyes must be blind.\u201d<\/span><\/p>

\u00a0The woman patted him. Having their gossip session interrupted, the female department head was annoyed. She tidied up her own documents and told everyone to disperse.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

For the first time, Yu Zhen found that his improved hearing was a terrible thing. Hearing the discussion of the department heads from the room next door, he looked up at Yin Yan who was arranging some documents and shifted uncomfortably.<\/span><\/p>

\u201cYou don\u2019t need to care about the opinions of others.\u201d Yin Yan switched off his computer and picked up his coat. \u201cI\u2019ve already spoken to Mom. Let\u2019s go back to the apartment. I\u2019m making Eight Treasures Cubed Rabbit.\u201d<\/span><\/p>

Yu Zhen didn\u2019t get up. Instead, he touched the ring on his finger and said, \u201cNow that you\u2019re in the head office, many people will have their eyes on you. This ring\u2026 <\/span>Why don\u2019t I buy a better one for you?\u201d<\/span><\/p>

Having fallen in love, the things he cared about became things he was unconsciously stubborn about.<\/span><\/p>

He wasn\u2019t concerned about how others would evaluate him, but he did care if people were looking at Yin Yan with strange looks in their eyes.<\/span><\/p>

For the little boss of Jinjiang, gold that only cost a few thousand RMB wasn\u2019t suitable.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

…<\/span>Just like me and Yin Yan. We\u2019re too unsuitable in every way.<\/span><\/i><\/p>

I\u2019m not some aristocratic young master. I\u2019m just a poor boy from the countryside.<\/span><\/i><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
