Chapter 22 A subordinate can never say “No” to the boss

“Madam, Xia Nuan stays again…”

The maid Hui took the mobile phone and quietly reported the situation to Luo Dai’er.

Luo Dai’er on the other side of the phone whispered to her, and the latter nodded continuously.

Coade came over from nowhere. He stopped her and forcibly confiscated her phone.

It was found that Hui and another babysitter Susan had been keeping in touch with Luo Dai’er. Coade reported it to Ye Sichen. For his mother’s sake, Ye Sichen sent them to the garden as gardeners, specializing in the pruning of flowers and plants.

Wuyou and Nianci were five months old. Xia Nuan took good care of them every day. The two little babies were also increasingly dependent on her. Sometimes Xia Nuan took them outside. In order to avoid the paparazzi, she would put them in the stroller, with curtains hanging on it. And she herself would dress up as a pregnant woman. In this way, people would think of her as a mother, who had nothing to do with Ye Sichen.

Xia Nuan took them to the children’s amusement park to see the outside world.

Wuyou pointed to the toys sold outside through the curtain and babbled, so did Nianci.

Xia Nuan knew they wanted those cute and novel toys.

“Excuse me, how much is this?”

“Fifty yuan. It is very cheap.”

“Isn’t it expensive? I’ll take two if you lower the price.”

Xia Nuan bargained with the stallholder.

“Madam, I’m offering you the cost price. You don’t look like a poor woman. Can’t you afford fifty yuan?”

Xia Nuan curled her lips, “It’s not that I couldn’t afford it. I do not think the toy is worth the cost. Eighty yuan for two. Not negotiable.”

Xia Nuan pretended to leave.

The stallholder greeted Xia Nuan at once and offered her the toys.

She then gave them to Wuyou and Nianci.

Holding the “pregnant belly”, Xia Nuan sat there to play with the babies.

About ten minutes later, Xia Nuan pushed the stroller and was ready to go back. It was almost evening. Coade would be worried if she didn’t go back, even though he had already sent two safeguards to protect them.

However, Xia Nuan felt vigilant since she had a feeling of being followed. The moment she turned around, she saw a man with a cap, walking behind her. He would pretend to enjoy the scenery and look away whenever she looked at him. The man was wearing a square plaid shirt, with a black coat around his waist. He had a luxuriant beard.

Xia Nuan sped up the pace and intended to get rid of him.

But she failed. He was like a piece of sticky candy.

Xia Nuan suspected that it was a tabloid reporter who wanted to take candid photos, so she pulled down the curtain.

The man followed Xia Nuan all the way along the lush avenue. Xia Nuan finally could not help taking the private mobile phone and walked to the man in a fierce manner. Unexpectedly, the man did not even dodge. On the contrary, he stood there with his hands inside the trouser pocket, looking at Xia Nuan.

“Why are you following me? What do you want to do? I’m telling you, if you dare to go forward one more step, I’ll show you no mercy!” After that, she took an electric baton out of the bag and pretended to be evil.

The man continued to get close to her.

Xia Nuan stunned for a while and felt him familiar.

She finally recognized him when he came to her, “Mr. Ye?”

She could barely recognize him with his disguise because she was too nervous to worry about him as a stalker. Otherwise, she would easily know it was him through a glance of his figure.

“Is it amazing?” Ye Sichen walked over and looked at the electric baton in her hand, smiling warmly, “I admire you for your courage, it’s just…”

He reached out and held the electric baton, “If this button is pushed backwards, you will get hurt. Be careful next time.”

Since he was holding the electric baton, she was embarrassed and loosed her hand, “Okay, I’ll keep it in mind.”

Ye Sichen looked at her swollen belly curiously, “What’s in it?”

Xia Nuan smiled, “It’s a pillow.”

“I will try it some other day to see if I can pretend to be a fat man.” Ye Sichen drew aside the curtain and felt soothing when he saw the two babies playing with the newly bought toys in the stroller.

“No one can recognize you like this.” Xia Nuan knew that every time Ye Sichen would be surrounded by journalists and fans once he went out. In order to live an ordinary life, he would disguise himself as another person.

Ye Sichen seemed very pleased with his work, “Well, my camouflage technique is not bad.” He drew aside the curtain again and turned to her, “Are you hungry? How about a dinner together?”

“We’d better go back, what if you are recognized by others?” Xia Nuan did not want to get close to Ye Sichen. She kissed him by mistake last time, which caused her embarrassed whenever they met each other.

“They won’t recognize me.” He pushed the stroller and moved firstly, so did Xia Nuan.

A subordinate can never say “No” to the boss. Last time she proposed to resign, he has already shown his coldness when he took out the Confidentiality Agreement to spite her.

Xia Nuan followed behind him slowly. Ye Sichen seemed to be impatient, so he stopped to wait for her.

She had to keep up with him side by side.

Finally, they reached a Chinese restaurant, Zhongshan Cate, owned by a Zhongshan people.

Ye Sichen looked at the menu. These home-made dishes were visually exquisite and rich, which made them easy to arouse people’s taste.

“These are your hometown dishes. Feel free to order, anything.” Ye Sichen gave the menu to her.

Xia Nuan shook her head shyly, “Mr. Ye, will you do me the honor? I’m okay with all the dishes.”

Xia Nuan did not understand why he would do this. After all, she was kind of afraid of him ever since the Confidentiality Agreement event.

Was it because of the medical expenses for her mother?

Ye Sichen took a sip of tea, “I need you to introduce the most delicious dishes.”

Xia Nuan had to pick up the menu, “The shrimps saute is good, and this, this…”

“Well, take them all.”

Ye Sichen smiled like the spring breeze. Even the beard could not hide his charm.

After ordering the dishes, Xia Nuan took a sip of tea, and said cautiously in a perturbed mood, “Mr. Ye, I will repay my mother’s medical expenses to you, please give me some time. As for the liquidated damages, I’ve already assured you that the postman did not know that the address is yours.” So was there any other reason for him to spite her on purpose?

Ye Sichen held the cup and looked at her, “I don’t care about the money.”

“I know, but it’s a fact that I owe you that. If I don’t give it back to you, I’ll be perturbed…”

“What else do you like to do besides being a babysitter?” Ye Sichen interrupted her. Obviously, he did not like to mention anything about money.

“Well, I like… I like costume designing.” If it was not because of Xia Yan’s debt and her mother’s illness, she would work as an intern by working her way through college now.

Ye Sichen nodded and said, “You can try to learn.”

“I will think about it later.” Xia Nuan sighed. Nothing could be done without money. For a big star like Ye Sichen, how could he understand the situation when an ordinary people lacked of money?

“If you have a dream, you should pursue it. Don’t regret for your mediocrity when you get old.” Ye Sichen mentioned lightly, but his words made her touched unexpectedly.

Through his black eyes, Xia Nuan saw the pure light that refreshed her soul.

Xia Nuan nodded inarticulately.

In a short while, all the dishes were served.

Xia Nuan introduced these cuisines to Ye Sichen one by one. He listened carefully and then picked up the chopsticks verdantly.

“Mr. Ye, you are supposed to pick it like this.” Xia Nuan smiled slightly.

However, the chopsticks performed as the shape of X in his hand.

“No, you should fix your thumb here.” Xia Nuan got close to him and shook her head.

“Like this?” Ye Sichen asked Xia Nuan, “Where should I put my thumb on?”

Xia Nuan stood up, walked over to Ye Sichen and sat beside him. Then she put his thumb on the chopsticks, pressing and fixing it there.

“You’ll get used to it if you often eat Chinese food. Hold it like this and take the food. No, no, you should do it this way.” Xia Nuan seemed had forgot his position, and taught him hand by hand as if he was a pupil who was not enlightened.

Finally, he picked up a piece of shrimp, and Xia Nuan smiled happily, “Yes, that’s it.”

When she came back to her mind, she found herself getting too close to Ye Sichen. Her hands covered his hands, and she herself almost against to his chest. The cool smell of his body spread to her little by little.

Then she found him looking at her when she raised her head.

The chopsticks slipped through her fingers to the ground. She got hurried to pick it up, but Ye Sichen held her arm and said, “Allow me.”

Under such atmosphere, Xia Nuan only felt her fierce heartbeat. She lowered her head and ate silently. She didn’t even dare to look at Ye Sichen.

Xia Nuan swore that she would never be alone with Ye Sichen in the future.

It was already dusk when they finished dinner. The night lights were shining all over the city.

Xia Nuan and Ye Sichen pushed the two babies, strolling in the bustling street.

“I will go back to Modu City next week. You can take the babies and come with me.” He said in a low voice, looking more serious than before.

His words caused a sense of melancholy in the lightened city.

“Mr. Ye, Hui and Susan were hired by your mother. She would be very happy if they take the babies back. As for me, I will stay here to take care of my mother.”

Luo Dai’er was in Modu City. Since she always misunderstood the relationship between her and Ye Sichen, it’s better for her not to go there.

Once Luo Dai’er and Ye Sichen argued, things went bad.

“A Subordinate can never say ‘No’ to the boss.”

“…” There was nothing for her to say.

At this time, an old voice shouted behind them, “Wei Shi! Wait! I’ve looked for you for so long!”

Ye Sichen frowned and subconsciously turned around. Then he saw an old lady sitting in a wheelchair, chasing after him.
