You Owe Me, My Love

Chapter 382 Working Hard During The Day

“Whatever he has up his sleeves, I would rather give up this partnership than have you involved with him. Even if it doesn’t work out, it doesn’t mean that I can’t travel with Bao,” Liu Yan said with certainty.

“Let’s just take one step at a time.”

They went back after dinner.

Wu Nian went back to her room for some shut-eye, and Liu Yan was about to do the same. Shen Yiyan had been a pain the night before. She lost sleep because of him.

As soon as she returned to her room, the butler blocked her way. “Madam, Mr. Shen would like you to come to the lake.”

“What? Shen Yiyan hasn’t left? I thought he’s gone back to A City?” Liu Yan said what was on her mind.

The butler grinned. “The master arranges his own schedule. We don’t interfere.”

Liu Yan shrugged. She thought about Su Xuyan’s speech earlier and decided to tell Shen Yiyan about it.

She went to the lake to meet Shen Yiyan and saw that Gu Mingchen was there, too.

It seems Gu Mingchen hasn’t left yet. Or did he come back again?

The two men seemed to be having a good time fishing by the lake, without a care in the world, while here she was sulking over Su Xuyan.

Just thinking about it made her flare up in anger.

“Shen Yiyan, you should know that kings who do not hold their morning court usually set their nations up for ruin far quicker than others. You’ve been here for two days. Don’t you have work to do?” Liu Yan questioned him bluntly.

Shen Yiyan was not angry at her critique. Instead, he chuckled. “Since you brought that up, you should know that I have annual leave at my disposal.”

“You seem to have quite a lot of it, then. You’ve taken twenty days off this year, haven’t you?” Liu Yan walked toward him.

“Well, weekends are off by default, and business trips are a necessity. In total, I’ve only taken three days off my annual leave so far,” Shen Yiyan replied her in all seriousness.

Liu Yan noticed there were more than a dozen fish in his bucket. She commented in disgust, “If you have the time to fish, why don’t you use it to think about what you can do to secure a partnership with Mo Xue?”

“It’s my strategy to fish with my competitors and leave the plotting to you,” said Shen Yiyan with a smile.
