Chapter 166 Give Me Freedom
She knew he loved her, but these were things best said in private. He would say them so often in public, and she felt embarrassed about it.
"Love should be spoken aloud, what's so mushy about it? Yirou, I love you, I love you..."
Yue Yirou: "..."
Yan Ye repeated those three words like a broken record until he walked up to Yue Yirou and kissed her lips.
After a brief, passionate kiss, Yue Yirou leaned against Yan Ye's chest, tilting her head to gaze at him: "Yan Ye, since you love me, will you give me my freedom?"
Yan Ye's expression changed instantly. He immediately released Yue Yirou, grabbed her arm, and said excitedly, "You still want to leave me? Even now you still want to leave me?"
"It's not what you think," Yue Yirou hurriedly explained.
"You said you want me to give you freedom?" Yan Ye's tone was aggrieved.
Freedom, isn't it just about letting him release her so he can elope with Lu Tingyun?
Yue Yirou sighed and continued to explain, "It's not that I want to leave you, I just hope to be able to freely enter and leave Xingye Pavilion."
Is this the kind of freedom she's talking about?
Yan Ye was somewhat embarrassed.
He was too excited.
Fortunately, I didn't say anything wrong.
Yan Ye's expression softened.
“Yan Ye, I don’t want to be a caged canary; I crave freedom. It’s been over three months since I left school, but I haven’t had a job yet…”
"You want a job?" Yan Ye asked.
Yue Yirou nodded: "Yes, if I don't work, all those years of university education will have been wasted."
The main problem is that she feels insecure without a job. What if he can't stand it anymore and stops loving her? What will she drink and eat then?
She needs to find a way out for herself.
"Can't I use someone whose major isn't related to my field?" Yan Ye asked.
From his tone, Yue Yirou sensed that he might be offering her a job.
Is he planning to arrange for her to work at his company?
Starry Night Group, so many people would kill to get in.
If she could get a job at Xingye Group, it wouldn't matter whether she was a professional or not, as long as she could get a salary every month.
I heard that even the cleaners at Xingye Group earn more than white-collar workers in other companies. Yan Ye could easily arrange a job for her, and she would be able to save a lot of money in no time.
After Yan Ye no longer wanted her, with this money, she could start her life anew.
"What are you thinking about? Hmm? Is this a difficult question to answer?" Yan Ye couldn't help but gently flick her nose with his finger when he saw her lost in thought.
Yue Yirou came to her senses: "It's okay if it's not related to my major."
"Sure?"
"Mm." Yue Yirou nodded.
"What are your salary requirements?" President Yan asked during a new employee interview.
Yue Yirou looked at Yan Ye and smiled faintly.
She wanted to give a number, but worried that it wouldn't be as much as Yan Ye intended to give.
"What does it mean by not saying anything? Don't you want your salary?"
"...No, yes, yes." Only a fool wouldn't want a salary.
Yan Ye smiled and said, "How much? Give me a number."
Give me a number? It's really hard to give a number.
After hesitating for a moment, Yue Yirou slowly extended five fingers: five thousand.
It shouldn't be less than this number.
"Five million? Okay, deal."
Yue Yirou was stunned.
She meant five thousand, but he actually thought it was five million and readily agreed.
Is it because he's obsessed with her that he pays her such a high salary?
"Not satisfied?" Yan Ye asked when he saw that she didn't react.
"Satisfied, satisfied." Yue Yirou nodded quickly, trying to suppress her excitement. "I wonder what kind of work President Yan has arranged for me? When can I start working at the company?"
"You don't need to go to the company. You can just follow me wherever I go."
"...What do you mean?" Yue Yirou had a bad feeling.
Yan Ye suppressed a laugh: "Your job is to keep me company. Keep me company while I sleep, keep me company while I eat, keep me company while I work."
Yue Yirou: "..."
What kind of job is this?
What's the difference between then and now?
"Yan Ye, I'm serious. I really want a job." Yue Yirou clenched her fist.
"I'm serious. Five million a year, think it over carefully."
Yan Ye suppressed a laugh, pecked Yue Yirou's lips a few times, and then turned and left in a great mood.
Want to leave him? No way.
Wanting to work is just an excuse; it's just a way to wait until you're independent enough to leave him.
Yue Yirou stared blankly at Yan Ye's retreating figure.
Five million, five million...
I could live the same life as I do now, and still earn such a high salary... but I wouldn't have any freedom...
If there's no freedom, then there's no freedom; as long as there's money to be made, that's enough.
"Yan Ye, I've thought it through, I'm willing."
Yue Yirou happily rushed towards that tall and handsome figure.
Yan Ye turned around and hugged the little woman who rushed towards him. With a spin, the two hid in a corner hidden by blooming flowers.
"The cameras can't capture this, and it's hard for passersby to notice it."
Yan Ye's kisses landed impatiently on her face and neck...
Yue Yirou was taken aback. What did he mean by that?
Could it be that he wants to stay here...?
No.
"Yan Ye, let me go! No, not here!" Yue Yirou pushed hard against Yan Ye's chest.
Yan Ye didn't let go of her, but simply said three words: "Five million."
five million……
Yue Yirou paused for a moment.
In a daze, she was spun around again and pinned against a smooth stone wall by Yan Ye, in a more secluded spot than before.
No, it's broad daylight now, and servants or bodyguards are passing by all the time. It's hard to spot, but that doesn't mean it's impossible to spot.
No, you can't.
"No, Yan Ye, I don't want to be here. No matter how much money you offer, I won't agree." Yue Yirou started struggling again.
"Shh, keep your voice down. Shouting like that will easily attract attention," Yan Ye said, suppressing his voice as he continued kissing her.
Yue Yirou was furious with him, so she could only continue pushing him while pleading softly with a pained expression, "Not here, Yan Ye, I beg you, not here."
"I can't control myself anymore, Yirou, be good..."
……
Although she went unnoticed, Yue Yirou gave Yan Ye a cold shoulder for the next few days.
Yan Ye felt a little regret, but only a tiny bit.
At the dinner table, Yan Ye served food to Yue Yirou, but Yue Yirou turned her face away and refused to eat.
Yan Ye had no choice but to turn the chopsticks around and put the food into his mouth.
"Yi Rou, I think we had a pretty good time that day," Yan Ye said, chewing his food, his tone slightly aggrieved.
"Shut up." Yue Yirou glared fiercely at the man beside her.
There were more than just the two of them at the table; Xue Tao and Xue Ruowei were also there.
He has no shame, but she does.
"Ahem, young master, young mistress, I'm full. You can continue eating."
"Ahem, young master, young mistress, I'm full too. I'll go to the infirmary now."
These past few days, sensing that something was off, Xue Tao and Xue Ruowei have been eating quickly. Often, they've already finished eating and left when Yan Ye and Yue Yirou are only halfway through their meal.
