Spoiled Rotten by the CEO After a Contract Marriage - Chapter 17

Chapter 17: A Great Sound in the Sky, Si Li Arrives

In this extremely awkward situation, CEO Chen remained perfectly calm. He bent down, picked up the towel, tied it around his waist again, and spoke in a steady, gentle voice: “Go take your shower.”

Yang Yuyang knew why he could be a big boss; it would be strange if he couldn’t with such a stable mindset.

“Okay. I’m sorry, I’m nearsighted, I didn’t see anything!” Yang Yuyang was still trying hard to salvage the situation.

“It’s fine.”

You Wenchen was secretly wishing he had seen it, so Yang Yuyang would know he was excellent both inside and out.

Yang Yuyang, wrapped in his bathrobe, hurried to You Wenchen’s room to continue showering, feeling inwardly apologetic.

Well, it wasn’t that much different. Just a little.

Mmm, an billion little. (A slang term for a huge amount)

After showering, Yang Yuyang returned to his own room to sleep. Despite usually having excellent sleep quality, he had three or four dreams that night, all set in the scenes from Si Li’s comic.

The protagonist… was You Wenchen.

After the last dream, Yang Yuyang woke up with a start, sitting upright in a “carp jump” motion, his body soaked in sweat.

Even more embarrassingly, he felt an unusual sensation beneath the blanket.

Yang Yuyang rubbed his face frantically with both hands. How am I still doing this at twenty-two! Isn’t this just a teenage thing!

“Yangyang, you’re awake?” You Wenchen looked at Yang Yuyang in surprise. Every morning, he would check the temperature in Yang Yuyang’s room to make sure it wasn’t too high or too low. Yang Yuyang was never awake at this hour.

Yang Yuyang nervously clutched the blanket: “Ah, yes.”

You Wenchen sat on the edge of the bed and looked at him: “Why are you sweating so much? Is the air conditioning too hot?”

“Ah… yes, yes it is.”

You Wenchen lowered the AC temperature and pulled out some tissues to wipe his sweat. Seeing that the front of his shirt was also damp, he felt something was wrong.

“Do you want to go to my room to shower and then come back to sleep?”

“Sure, wait! I’m not going yet. Aren’t you going for your morning exercise? Go quickly!” Yang Yuyang certainly didn’t dare get up now.

You Wenchen found this even stranger. Yang Yuyang’s eyes were darting away; he must be hiding something.

“Yangyang, are you feeling unwell?”

“No, I was just woken up by the heat, and I feel a little uncomfortable.” Yang Yuyang tried hard to find an excuse.

You Wenchen suggested: “Then let me take off your blanket so you can cool down, alright?”

“No!” Yang Yuyang shrieked in a dolphin-like tone.

“Hmm?” You Wenchen looked at him puzzledly. Hot and yet he wants to keep the blanket on?

Yang Yuyang blushed: “I’m not wearing any pants.”

Oh, so that’s what it is.

You Wenchen went to the wardrobe to fetch him a pair of pants: “I’ll go out first. Put on your pants, then go to my room to shower. I’ll have someone fix your faucet later.”

“Thank you, thank you.”

After You Wenchen left, Yang Yuyang let out a sigh of relief, immensely proud of his quick thinking.

Recalling last night’s dream, his small face began to burn again.

It must be because of Si Li! I never have dreams like that normally!

It’s all Si Li’s fault, all Si Li’s fault!

While inwardly scolding Si Li, he changed his pants, bundled the items in the blanket, and planned to take them to the laundry room downstairs.

As soon as he opened the door, he saw You Wenchen still standing outside.

“Haven’t you gone for your morning exercise yet?”

You Wenchen was worried about his health and didn’t dare leave: “No hurry. Yangyang, let me take that down to wash for you.”

“No need, no need, I can do it myself. Go for your morning exercise quickly, don’t worry about me!” Yang Yuyang held the blanket tightly, refusing to let go.

As the two tugged at the blanket, the pants and underwear wrapped inside slowly slipped out and fell to the floor.

In that moment, Yang Yuyang felt the whole world go silent.

Especially when he saw You Wenchen squat down to pick them up for him.

Being a man himself, You Wenchen, of course, knew what had happened. The corners of his mouth couldn’t help but turn up. So, this was why he was embarrassed to get out of bed.

Yang Yuyang was already extremely embarrassed, and seeing him smile made it even worse. He simply gave up.

“What are you laughing at! Aren’t you a man?!”

You Wenchen’s reply was shocking: “If I’m not a man, you saw that for yourself last night, didn’t you?”

Yang Yuyang didn’t expect him to say that. Recalling last night’s blunder, his face turned red and hot: “Go away!”

He thought his tone was fierce, but to You Wenchen, it sounded like he was being coquettish.

You Wenchen comforted him: “Alright, alright, I won’t laugh at you. It’s nothing; there’s no need to be embarrassed.”

“Who’s embarrassed! I’m fine!”

You Wenchen took the bundle from his hands: “Since I’ve seen it, let me wash it for you. Go take a shower in my room; I’ll take you for your morning exercise afterward.”

After what just happened, Yang Yuyang probably wouldn’t be able to fall back asleep anyway.

“Take it, then!” Yang Yuyang went back to his room to grab a clean set of clothes and rushed into You Wenchen’s room to shower.

When he came downstairs after showering, he found You Wenchen hanging clothes to dry.

“You finished washing them so quickly?”

“I hand-washed them faster. Didn’t you say this pair of pants shouldn’t be tossed in the washing machine?” You Wenchen remembered how precious this pair of sleep pants was to Yang Yuyang.

Yang Yuyang’s eyes widened, looking at the dripping underwear on the hanger.

He hand-washed this too?!

No one had ever washed this for him before, except his own parents.

Seeing how calm You Wenchen was, Yang Yuyang felt too awkward to make a fuss, so he just blushed and said a soft “thank you.”

You Wenchen wiped his hands and took him out for exercise.

After returning, Yang Yuyang was exhausted again, like a tired heap of sheep. He wanted to quickly rinse off and crawl back into bed. You Wenchen grabbed him to eat breakfast, and fearing he wouldn’t wake up for lunch if left alone, he simply brought him to the company.

Upon arriving at the company, Yang Yuyang immediately fell soundly asleep in You Wenchen’s private lounge. He was only woken up when it was time for lunch.

“No, this kind of life is too decadent. I need to pull myself together.” Yang Yuyang sternly criticized himself at the dining table.

You Wenchen peeled a few palm-sized Metapenaeus ensis (prawns) for him: “Just live comfortably. People don’t always need to suffer.”

“But if I keep living comfortably, I’m going to get a little tummy.” Yang Yuyang rubbed his abdomen. He couldn’t help but feel that You Wenchen was feeding him until he gained weight.

You Wenchen placed some braised pork ribs on his plate: “A little tummy is cute too.”

This ambiguous and doting remark made Yang Yuyang’s ears twitch, and his mind began to wander.

“Brother Wenchen, long time no see.” Si Li, who had an early appointment, rushed in.

You Wenchen smiled and nodded: “Have you eaten? Want to join us for a bite?”

“I have, I’m stuffed.” Si Li said, while immediately sitting down and starting to gnaw on a pork rib.

Yang Yuyang: …

He seems like one of my kind, but I’m not sure. I’ll observe a bit more.

Noticing Yang Yuyang’s gaze, Si Li, with a rib in his mouth, greeted him: “Hello, hello, I’m Si Li. Wow, you look even better in person than in your heavily edited photos. No wonder Brother Wenchen likes you so much; if it were me, I would have been secretly crushing on you for even longer than he has.”

“Huh? Secret crush?”
