Chapter 409 I'm Not a Dog

"Didn't you just say you were going to prepare travel funds for your girlfriend? Now you don't want a salary?" Shen Zhaoyi seized on the loophole in his statement. "You're contradicting yourself."

Cheng Yubai casually put his ID around his neck, his eyes filled with an open and honest expression.

How can there be a contradiction?

"Didn't you already pay the money?"

"The gifts in the live stream, the investment in the laboratory, and even Director Zhao's salary all came from you."

“The sums of each payment, if added up, would have been enough to buy my lifetime medical practice rights.”

With each of his explanations, Shen Zhaoyi gradually realized that he had come prepared.

At this moment, the sign hanging around his neck seemed to be his pledge of allegiance, branding himself with the label of private property.

This was Cheng Yubai's concession.

It's truly remarkable that someone with such inherent pride and a disdain for conforming to others could achieve this level of integrity.

Shen Zhaoyi was surprised by his change, and as the rope pulled him in front of her, she wondered about the duration of his appointment. "Is it really for life? Or is he just using this as an excuse to freeload off me?"

"Of course, you can spend a lifetime verifying it."

"No, that deadline is too long."

Shen Zhaoyi understood the hidden meaning in those words, but she couldn't give that promise, not to anyone.

Cheng Yubai had expected to be rejected, so he wasn't too disappointed. Anyway, as long as the message was conveyed, that was enough.

As for the document that bound them together, it was eventually accepted.

The length of time a relationship lasts depends on how well it is maintained.

Shen Zhaoyi thought Cheng Yubai would take this opportunity to stay at the villa, but after he finished speaking, he got up to leave, as if he really came to make a house call, which surprised Shen Zhaoyi.

"Aren't you going to have some food before you leave?"

"No, I have things to do in the lab."

Since things have come to this point, there's no point in staying any longer.

Shen Zhaoyi waved her hand, indicating that he should go ahead, but the kiss on his forehead still revealed Cheng Yubai's true feelings.

Possessiveness and restraint intertwined in the air at that moment, but in the end, he left without looking back.

Weird.

Shen Zhaoyi felt that everyone she met today was quite strange. Before she could think about it in detail, Xiao Yuan sent her another message saying that Pei Yan had asked her to leave the team for two hours.

When did he become so well-mannered?

[Before, he could just leave whenever he wanted, so why all this fuss? It's like nobody can stop him.]

Xiao Yuan awkwardly handed over her phone screen, looking like she had no other choice.

"Why don't you just tell Sister Shen you want to go to her house? Who has the time to guess what's behind your words?"

"I'm afraid she won't allow it if I tell her."

"It's as if you can get rid of the idea just by not saying anything."

Xiao Yuan had witnessed all of Pei Yan's changes over the past month.

Every day, besides practicing driving, she eats and sleeps, living like a programmed robot. Although she is much more obedient than before, which is a good thing, she is always worried that problems will arise if this continues.

"Just go straight there. All that beating around the bush is pointless. Sister Shen isn't really going to lock you out."

“But…” Pei Yan was still hesitant.

Xiao Yuan shoved him out of the office, saying, "Stop dawdling and show some guts, you big star!"

The way he was addressed sent chills down his spine.

People are afraid of becoming famous, just as pigs are afraid of getting fat. Since the matter of Old Lady Chen was resolved, Pei Yan's popularity is even better than it was back then.

After all, no one has been able to consistently maintain first place in every monthly race so far.

Thinking of the trophy he had just won a couple of days ago, he gritted his teeth, ran to the exhibition hall at the entrance, and packed up all the trophies inside, carrying them all the way to the villa, huffing and puffing.

Shen Zhaoyi wasn't surprised at all to see Pei Yan suddenly appear outside the door. Xiao Yuan's words just now were definitely a test.

Sure enough, even without agreeing, I was able to wait for this person.

"Are you short on cash and planning to resell your spoils?"

"How could that be!" Pei Yan shouted in protest. This is not two years ago; how could he possibly do such a thing again?

Shen Zhaoyi raised an eyebrow, her gaze shifting from the trophy to him. "Then why did you bring all of these here?"

"Qiuyu said that you plan to buy a house in another place later."

In short, he betrayed his good brother.

They really have a deep bond; the topics they just finished discussing have already reached their ears.

Pei Yan placed all the trophies on the coffee table. In addition to the new ones he won this month, he also got back the two that Qiu Yu had secretly kept from him. There were enough to display in his new home.

"If it's not enough, I'll try harder."

Anyway, it's still the same old saying: as long as you don't die from running, run as fast as you can.

Shen Zhaoyi figured out what he meant, "Are you planning to mark each of my new homes?"

"I'm not a dog..."

"That's about right."

Shen Zhaoyi finally understood that these people seemed to have made a pact to line up and pledge their loyalty.

But why is that?

Just when she was completely baffled, she finally remembered that Su Ye hadn't contacted her yet.

He, who usually puts in more effort than anyone else, is inexplicably calm at this moment, which is very strange, extremely strange.

Opening the chat window, the history was still stuck on yesterday's "Goodnight" message before bed. Since Pei Yan and Cheng Yubai had both received the news, there was no reason why he shouldn't know.

Unless, that group has been isolated.

At first, they managed to keep it a secret, but Han Ziyang was the type to confess anything in bed, and he accidentally let it slip, which led Shen Zhaoyi to find out about the existence of the six-person group.

This is why she guessed that after meeting Mumu, she wouldn't need to deliberately notify the others.

After seeing Pei Yan off, it wasn't until almost dinner time that I saw that familiar profile picture pop up with a little red dot on WeChat.

I was quite busy with work today, and just finished it.

Welcome home.

[Qiuyu said, do you still have domestic travel plans? When do you plan to go?]

There's no need to avoid Su Ye anymore.

Shen Zhaoyi was very pleased with their current harmonious relationship. At least on the surface, they were all polite to each other, and she didn't have to worry about them fighting each other.

As for the next departure time, we haven't decided yet; it might be next week or next month.

[Are you tired from playing outside?] Su Ye thought about how frequently she changed locations every three days and began to worry about her health.

Shen Zhaoyi took a picture of her weight after returning home today. [Don't worry, I'm fine, I've even gained a little weight.]

A good appetite is the most important thing; it seems I don't need to worry about your meals when you're out.

Every word Su Ye uttered revealed a gentle quality.

Shen Zhaoyi's favorite thing is the way he talks to her, where her emotions are taken care of and she doesn't have to worry about the atmosphere falling apart.

I learned that he had just gotten off work, and the auntie in the kitchen was already cooking.

Why don't you just drive over? It'll save you the trouble of going back to cook.

In the past, such an invitation would have been readily accepted.

But now, Su Ye asked in return:

Are you really going to let me do it?

Wishing everyone a Happy New Year in advance!!!
