Mr. Melancholy Wants To Live A Peaceful Life

CHAPTER 17

As the person paying, You Zhengping naturally wanted to let Yu Hua as the guest order the food. Yu Hua chose a few dishes that You Zhengping liked. He didn't have a strong taste for good food. There weren't any foods he particularly liked, nor any he disliked. 

What he liked was watching You Zhengping eating with gusto. In fact, You Zhengping wasn't a picky eater, either. He ate everything. But he would eat with enjoyment when he encountered something he liked.

"This is all what I like. What about you?" You Zhengping was a little dissatisfied when he saw the menu selections.

"I like whatever you like." Yu Hua wasn't trotting out a cheesy pick-up line or going through the motions. Only when he saw You Zhengping eating happily would Yu Hua feel that the tasteless food had taken on flavor.

Hearing him say this, You Zhengping felt even more guilty. He didn't know how to question Yu Hua. Yu Hua, meanwhile, naturally poured a cup of green tea for You Zhengping and casually said, "I just found a job. I hadn't had time to tell you yet. How did you know? News travels fast."

Yu Hua didn't suspect You Zhengping. He had known his husband for so many years; he had the most fundamental faith in him.

You Zhengping downed the green tea in the cup as though it were plain water. Gritting his teeth, he said, "I, I asked Cen Xiao to get his friend at the job center to look out for information about you. You've been looking for work lately and haven't wanted to tell me about it, so I was kind of worried."

He lowered his head guiltily. "I'm sorry. I should have given you your space."

"What's the problem?" Yu Hua naturally refilled You Zhengping's teacup. "You didn't ask me about my job-hunting every day. You considerately asked around in private. You left me enough space, and you were secretly looking out for me. I'm very happy."

How could Yu Hua be so nice?! Hearing his answer, You Zhengping nearly started to cry. Yu Hua was a sweet fool. No wonder he had been fired by his old company for offending an executive. It had certainly been the executive's fault.

"I feel very bad." You Zhengping clutched the teacup with both hands, not daring to look up.

Seeing You Zhengping with his head down, not moving, Yu Hua took his hand and held it, saying, "Everyone sometimes gets into a gloomy mood. When I'm sad, I just think that there's someone secretly looking out for me, who will work hard to prop me up no matter how down and out I am. You don't need to feel apologetic. I should be thanking you."

You Zhengping raised his head and looked into Yu Hua's eyes, thinking, This must be my genuine Yu Hua. Lian Yufan is just stirring up trouble. And Zhen Li is just using Yu Hua's kindness to trick him.

Thinking of the Destroyer Zhen Li, You Zhengping felt a sense of crisis. If Zhen Li hadn't tricked Yu Hua into working at his studio, Yu Hua wouldn't have been suspected by the Protection Organization. No matter what the outcome of the investigation was, You Zhengping had to convince Yu Hua to resign!

"Since you're not annoyed about me worrying about you, then there are a few things I want to say to you." You Zhengping rubbed Yu Hua's palm with the pads of his fingers.

The palm of Yu Hua's hand was ticklish from being rubbed. With a quiet laugh, he said, "What do you command?"

"You were a senior manager at one of the country's top one-hundred enterprises. You have such high qualifications. Can't you get any job you want? Why do you have to go work at that crappy studio?" You Zhengping asked unhappily. "I had Cen Xiao look into it. President Zhen's studio was registered only three days ago, and he hadn't even finished the paperwork to suspend his university studies before running off to start a business. He's so unreliable!"
