“Anyway, I’m naked now.” Qi Chenglin’s lips curled upward slightly. He lifted the blanket a little and underneath was his naked body.

“I’m wearing clothes now!” replied Ruan Danchen exasperatedly, she was embarrassed and annoyed. “Why did you call me? If there’s nothing important, I’m sleeping now!”

Qi Chenglin smiled and said with his charming voice, “I like sleeping naked.”

Ruan Danchen was blushing furiously, she felt like her head was about to explode. When she heard his voice, the image of his naked body involuntarily appeared in her mind.

More importantly, she saw his naked body before, so the image did not stem from her imagination. It was not difficult for her to picture his naked body at all.

Ruan Danchen felt that she was unable to chat with him any longer, so she hung up the phone angrily.

Qi Chenglin planned to continue teasing her at first, but she unexpectedly hung up on him. He was speechless for a while before he called her again.

Ruan Danchen’s phone started ringing again before she put it back on the bedside cabinet. She felt her phone was getting very hot, she unconsciously wrapped herself in the blanket tightly and stuffed her phone under her pillow. She did not answer the phone even though it was continuously ringing, but she did not have the courage to cancel the call or turn off her phone.

Qi Chenglin hung up and called her again two more times, but Ruan Danchen still did not answer his call. And so he texted her straight away.

Ruan Danchen’s phone finally became silent, but not long after that, she heard the sound of a text notification from her phone.

She took her phone out from under the pillow and opened the text to read it. [If you still don’t answer my call, I’ll go to your house immediately and talk to you in person.]

He was worse than a hooligan, he was a wretch.

Right after she read his text, Qi Chenglin called her again. Ruan Danchen finally answered it. “What do you want?”

“I want to discuss work-related matters.” Qi Chenglin’s monotone voice could be heard on the phone.

“You should come to my company during the daytime if you want to discuss work-related matters. It’s past office hours now,” said Ruan Danchen nervously. She was trying her best to calm down.

“I intend to ask for your service directly, not through your company, so that you can earn all the profit. Your company won’t be able to take a portion of the profit. You can take it as extra income for your work outside of your usual working hours,” explained Qi Chenglin.

Ruan Danchen was quite interested. She had the resources to do so, but by working at Chengshi, she could eliminate the risk of her clients putting off the payment, and her clients would feel more reassured. Therefore, unless she really trusted her clients, she dared not accept personal projects.

As for Qi Chenglin, she was sure that the young master of the Qi family would not default on his debts, but she was a little nervous because she would be dealing with Qi Chenglin.

“What assignment is it?” asked Ruan Danchen doubtfully.

“My bedroom, Youxuan’s bedroom and playroom. I want to renovate all of them. We have lived in this house for quite some time, the wallpaper and furniture look quite old now. Besides, Youxuan is growing up and the decoration of his bedroom and playroom is not suitable for a child of his age anymore. His bedroom and playroom were designed by a designer when he was still a baby. However, I did not give any input at the time. I let the designer make all the decisions. You could say that I did not put any effort into the design.”

“At the time, I saw Youxuan as a child who was given birth by an unknown woman. That woman forcefully passed him to me. I did not wish for a son. Therefore, I didn’t really care about him. However, after we’ve lived together for such a long time, we became connected, and he is very important to me now. When I look at his playroom and bedroom, I know that I did the wrong thing initially. Therefore, I want to amend my mistakes and provide him with a loving environment that truly belongs to him.”

“Besides, you should be very excited to design his bedroom in person? You didn’t have the chance to do it when he was younger, but you have the opportunity now. Do you want to try?” asked Qi Chenglin. He spoke at a moderate pace.

“I want to try!” replied Ruan Danchen eagerly. She wanted to accept that assignment even before Qi Chenglin had finished talking.

At that time, she stopped considering Qi Chenglin’s intentions anymore, she would seize any opportunity that would enable her to live with Qi Youxuan.

“I would love to do that, and I’m willing to accept it,” repeated Ruan Danchen. “When shall we start?”

“I’ll find the time to discuss it in detail with you.” Qi Chenglin’s lips curled upward proudly, but his voice remained calm and cool as usual. “However, if you accept this assignment, it may occupy a lot of your working hours and private time. Please think it over, don’t force yourself to do it.”

“No trouble at all.” Ruan Danchen clenched her teeth in excitement. In the beginning, he talked about it at great length to persuade her to accept this assignment. But now he was taking her for granted after she expressed her enthusiasm for taking on the assignment!

Qi Chenglin smiled. “Oh, by the way, Youxuan will enter elementary school in September. His holidays will start this Friday, and he will be resting at home. If you accept this assignment, you will have a chance to spend more time with him.”

Ruan Danchen was truly thrilled to hear that. She wished she could go to his house tomorrow morning and begin working.

After she hung up the phone, Quan Danchen gradually calmed down and felt that she was like a fish just now. Happily swimming toward Qi Chenglin’s bait and biting it not wanting to let go. He did not even need to invest significant effort to make her take the bait.

Ruan Danchen put her phone on the bedside cabinet. She wrapped her body with the blanket and tried hard to sleep.

...

...

The next day, she called Mu Huaisheng the moment she reached Chengshi.

“Miss Ruan, I didn’t expect you to return my call so soon,” said Mu Huaisheng with a smile after he answered her call.

“Mr. Mu, I’m so sorry. I’m calling you to thank you for your appreciation and trust in me. However, I’m unable to accept the assignment that you offered. I’m so sorry. I thank Mr. Mu for offering me a chance.” Ruan Danchen felt guilty for rejecting his offer so directly, but she had no other choice than to force herself to do so.

“Miss Ruan, you don’t need to respond to my offer so hastily, you can take your time and think it over.” Mu Huaisheng did not expect that Ruan Danchen would still reject him.

He knew very well about her situation at Chengshi, she should be accepting as many assignments as possible, how could she reject his offer?

“I have thought it through. I’m currently accepting another assignment to help my friend,” said Ruan Danchen. Although she only called Qi Chenglin a friend, she still felt quite awkward. “There will be an overlap between these projects, and I think I won’t be able to work well on both projects simultaneously. Therefore, I have to decline Mr. Mu’s offer, I regret it very much.”

Since Ruan Danchen had rejected him so bluntly, Mu Huaisheng knew that even if he were to talk until he was blue in the face, Ruan Danchen would never change her mind. He decided to give up and let it be.

After she hung up the phone, Yang Yunshu snorted at her. She did not notice Yang Yunshu enter her office. “You rejected an assignment which was offered to you in person, but you accepted another assignment privately, is that right? Just now you kept calling the client Mr. Mu, could it be that the client you rejected was Mu Huaisheng? I know that he comes to meet you quite often. If you offend him and cause our company to lose a customer, let’s wait and see how you explain yourself!”

Previously, Ruan Danchen’s reputation was damaged after she was framed by Mu Sisi, so her clients rapidly decreased. At the time, Yang Yunshu rejoiced in her misfortune and she was waiting to see how she would end up.

Unexpectedly, Ruan Danchen profited from it and attracted Mu Huaisheng’s attention. Mu Huaisheng came here every now and then to ask her out for lunch. However, Ruan Danchen acted smugly and was not willing to go out for lunch with him. She acted like she was not interested in him and wanted to keep him at a distance.

Yang Yunshu envied her very much for that, and she thought that Ruan Danchen was extremely pretentious.

Ruan Danchen said indifferently, “Even if I need to explain myself, I’ll do it in front of Director Zhao. I don’t need to explain to you, so you can stop worrying about me.”

Yang Yunshu snorted. “I really want to see how would you explain yourself to Director Zhao.”

“Before you tell Director Zhao, why don’t you ask for my opinion? I’m the manager of this department.” They were unaware of how long Manager Xu had been listening in on them as they did not notice his presence.

Yang Yunshu was startled for a while, then Manager Xu said coldly, “You’re not working in this department anymore. If you have any complaints about Ruan Danchen’s matters, you can tell them to me directly and allow me to handle it. What did you mean when you said you wanted to talk to Director Zhao directly without talking to me first? Since you like to meddle in the matters of the design department so much, why not I propose straight away to Director Zhao to transfer you back here and take my place?”

“Manager Li, that’s not what I meant,” said Yang Yunshu embarrassedly. “I was thinking in the company’s interest, I was worried. Since Manager already knows about this, then I won’t talk about it any further.”

Yang Yunshu glanced at Ruan Danchen and left the design department.

After that, Manager Xu said to Ruan Danchen, “Danchen, I understand your situation now, it is not unusual for you to accept private assignments as others in this department are doing the same, and I don’t usually mind it. However, please don’t let others use that information against you. Don’t make it difficult for me.”

“I understand, thanks, manager,” replied Ruan Danchen softly.

Manager Xu nodded and went back to his office.

...

...

Ruan Danchen waited for Qi Chenglin’s call for the whole day, but she did not receive any calls from him.

After she finished work, she packed her belongings and left. She had fewer assignments nowadays, so she did not need to work overtime.

When she walked out the door of the office building, she saw a familiar-looking black Benz parked on the roadside.

Ruan Danchen’s heart skipped a beat, she saw the window of the passenger seat roll down and Qi Youxuan’s head appeared. He waved eagerly at her. “Aunt Ruan, come here.”

Ruan Danchen hurriedly dashed toward him. She saw the little boy gave up his seat which was nearer to her so that she could get in the car.

“My dad has a dinner party tonight, I don’t want to have dinner alone at home, so I asked Dad to tell Uncle Xiaoyang to bring me here to meet you,” explained Qi Youxuan after Ruan Danchen got in the car.

“Miss Ruan.” The driver known as Xiaoyang greeted her.

They had met before, Ruan Danchen greeted him back.

Then, Qi Youxuan took out a leaflet from his bag. It had a fine design and the images printed on it were extremely attractive.

“Aunt Ruan, this mall just opened yesterday, they even invited a star to the opening night. I’m not familiar with the star so I did not go because the place would be jam-packed with young people,” said Qi Youxuan.

Ruan Danchen almost laughed because she was amused by his choice of words. In fact, he would be the youngest person there if he attended the event tomorrow.

However, she restrained herself from laughing because she was afraid that it would hurt his self-esteem.

“However, this mall has many new restaurants, let’s go there and have dinner, shall we?” said the little boy as he used his chubby little finger to point at one of the restaurants’ advertisements. “While I was waiting for you just now, I asked Uncle Xiaoyang to read the advertisements aloud for me. I want to have dinner at this Japanese restaurant. After that, let’s buy a cup of milk tea at this café.”

“Alright.” Ruan Danchen could not stop herself from stroking his head.

Qi Youxuan styled his hair that morning, he used hair wax to maintain his hairstyle after he pushed his hair upward. It was a little messy and curly, but he looked very handsome in that hairstyle. Since he styled his hair, he did not allow anyone to touch it, even Song Yu was not allowed to touch it.

Unexpectedly, Qi Youxuan did not whine when Ruan Danchen touched his hair. On the contrary, he smiled gleefully. Xiaoyang was watching them through the rearview mirror and he was extremely astonished by Qi Youxuan’s behavior. The scene of them—an adult and a small child—interacting with each other was especially harmonious.

“Have you already waited for a long time?” asked Ruan Danchen. She knew that the dismissal time of kindergartens was quite early, it would be around four o’clock in the afternoon.

“No, we just arrived because there was a traffic jam just now,” answered Qi Youxuan as he shook his head.

Xiaoyang glanced at his young master again, they had waited there for more than half an hour, and a policeman just issued him a traffic ticket.

...

...

Xiaoyang took them to the newly opened mall. The mall held a very large campaign for their opening, they invited six A-list celebrities to attend the opening night yesterday. The busy road at the entrance of the mall was closed and cars were not allowed to pass through the road.

In the end, their campaign was so successful and too many fans came. The number of fans far exceeded the number projected by the mall and there was not enough space for all of them. As a result, some people were injured in the chaos. The mall decided to end the meet and greet session prematurely even though nobody was injured badly. The fans were forced to leave the mall in disappointment.

When they were waiting for Ruan Danchen in front of the entrance of Chengshi, Qi Youxuan chatted with Xiaoyang. He told Xiaoyang he felt that it was truly a stupid act to go to such a crowded place just to look at the celebrities from a very far distance.

Although the situation had improved a lot today, traffic was still congested when they were entering the parking lot of the mall. They queued for almost twenty minutes before they managed to enter the parking lot. All the parking spaces were occupied, so Xiaoyang found a space just beside a wall and parked beside it.

Ruan Danchen invited Xiaoyang to join them for dinner, but he declined her invitation with a smile. “It’s OK, I’ll find a fast food restaurant and have some food. I’m waiting for Young Master Lin’s call, he might call me anytime to ask me to fetch him.”

Therefore, Ruan Danchen did not insist. They entered the mall and Xiaoyang walked into a Pizza Hut straight away. Ruan Danchen brought Qi Youxuan to the Japanese restaurant.

The Japanese restaurant had many customers and there was a long queue outside the restaurant, but Qi Youxuan insisted on having his dinner there even if he had to wait for the long queue to subside.

Finally, it was their turn. Ruan Danchen dared not order too many raw dishes because she was afraid that Qi Youxuan might catch diarrhea. She only ordered a few raw dishes, most of the food she ordered was cooked food like sushi, tempura and such.

Xiaoyang called Ruan Danchen when they were halfway through dinner. Before they entered the mall, she exchanged numbers with Xiaoyang so that they could easily contact each other after dinner.

“Miss Ruan, have you and Young Master finished eating?” asked Xiaoyang.

“Not yet, we spent quite some time queueing just now,” explained Ruan Danchen.

“I just received young Master Lin’s call. He asked me to pick him up from Shengyue. After you finish eating, can you wait at the restaurant for a while? I’ll come and fetch all of you after I pick up Young Master Lin,” said Xiaoyang on the phone.

“No problem. Just do your job first, don’t worry about us. We’ll stay here for a while, then we’ll explore the mall,” replied Ruan Danchen with a smile.

Xiaoyang hung up the phone. Ruan Danchen told the little boy about their conversation. Qi Youxuan did not say anything and continued eating his sushi. His belly was bloated, but he was still not satisfied even though he was already full.

“Aunt Ruan, I want to go to the washroom,” said Qi Youxuan quietly.

Ruan Danchen hurriedly stood up and grabbed her handbag before she brought him to the washroom.

...

...

Liu Ronghua was having dinner with her friends. This Japanese restaurant originated from the S city and it had received rave reviews. Therefore, she invited her friends to have dinner here after she found out that a new branch opened here.
