Chapter 15:    Feels Like Three Years* ①

(T/N*: The whole idiom goes like this: 一日不见，如隔三秋. Meaning, they have only not seen each other for one day, but it already felt like they have not met for three autumns, i.e. years. The original title of this chapter is the second part of the idiom: 如隔三秋.)

Recently, everyone in the company had realised that Chairman Yan seemed to be in an exceptionally good mood. They were guessing that perhaps their boss had recently signed a big contract while others with discerning eyes guessed that perhaps, their boss was in a relationship.

When Yan Yu walked out of his office, the employees immediately sat up properly and stopped their gossiping in an instant. Since Yan Yu was a superior who was especially close to his subordinates, there was someone who plucked up their courage and asked, “Boss, did something good happen to you recently?”

Yan Yu smiled, “Why do you ask?”

“Boss, it seems like you couldn’t stop smiling recently.”

Yan Yu shrugged, “Oh… that... It’s nothing special. I just got into a relationship.”

The whole office became quiet for a split second because everyone was dying to know who Yan Yu’s partner was but no one dared to directly ask him. In the end, the same brave soul asked again, “Boss, who is it?”

Yan Yu felt a bit pleased with himself in his heart, but he resisted showing it and tried to maintain his strict demeanour in front of his subordinates, “Why are you concerning yourself with this for? Do your work properly.”

But they wouldn’t be diverted so easily. “Boss, why don’t you introduce the lady boss to us if we reach our monthly target this month?”

“We can talk about it after you guys have actually reached the target,” Yan Yu dodged.

At that moment, Chen Yifei pushed open the office door and shouted, “Boss, phone call.”

Yan Yu gave him an affirmation before he walked over, looking very pleased with himself, and answered the phone. Seeing Chen Yifei organising his files and documents on his desk, he was a bit too beside himself with joy that he could not control himself but to close his eyes and leaned in, wanting to give Chen Yifei a kiss.

Chen Yifei creased his brows, lifting a file to block Yan Yu’s face and said, “We’re in the office.”

“But there’s no one else here.”

Chen Yifei refused to back down, “It is still the office.”

Yan Yu understood why Chen Yifei wanted to keep their distance in the office. He knew that Chen Yifei was only worried for his life and reputation if their relationship was found out by the others, but Yan Yu had always been the type to want to share his joy with the whole world whenever something good happened to him.

Yan Yu could only drop the subject and said, “Then you need to make it up to me when we’re home.”

“Such topics are forbidden in the office too.”

Chen Yifei returned to his own office after saying that, leaving a gloomy Yan Yu behind, his lips pursed.

In fact, it wasn’t that Chen Yifei was unwilling to get more intimate with Yan Yu, but he was very strict with himself since he did not want to be distracted by any other things during work, nor did he want his private life to be disturbed by their work.

Besides, Chen Yifei wanted to become Yan Yu’s most competent assistant. There was still plenty for him to learn and improve as an assistant, so he could not afford to relax at work.
