Rebirth System: Learning makes me happy - Chapter 44

After finishing their meal, Yu Xingye took Su Qingqing back to the office. As soon as they entered the Yu Building, Su Qingqing vaguely heard a lot of gasps. She blinked and looked at Yu Xingye who was holding her hand.

Yu Xingye responded to the employees’ respectful greetings in a cold voice, and naturally changed his hand holding to interlocking his fingers. Su Qingqing felt that the employees who had secretly glanced at them were almost unable to breathe.

Yu Xingye was quite calm, as if he didn’t hear anything. After noticing Su Qingqing’s gaze, he asked her softly:

“What’s wrong?”

Su Qingqing shook her head with amusement and followed him into the elevator.

The last time she came here, Su Qingqing’s whole mind was hooked by Yu Xingye. This time, she realized that not only was there that pleasant smell of disinfectant in the elevator, but the top floor was also filled with this smell.

Su Qingqing’s nose moved, and Yu Xingye noticed it.

He asked softly: “Do you like it?”

Su Qingqing nodded.

“I can smell disinfectant, but it’s different from the smell in the hospital.” Su Qingqing was a little curious, “Is it specially made?”

“Well, as long as you like it.”

Yu Xingye is extremely obsessed with mysophobia, so he must disinfect the places he often stays in, otherwise he will be very irritated. But he doesn’t like the pungent smell of disinfectant, so he specially asked someone to do some research.

Yu Xingye glanced at her and added: “It can be changed to the smell you want.”

Su Qingqing: “That’s great, it smells like the agarwood on you, I like it too.”

Yu Xingye paused and suddenly hugged her. The smell of disinfectant in Su Qingqing’s nose was instantly replaced by the slightly bitter agarwood.

Yu Xingye’s low and hoarse voice came from above her head: “Then how about you use this incense too?”

This incense was mixed by Yu Xingye himself when he was free, and it was exclusive to him.

Thinking of Su Qingqing being filled with his scent, Yu Xingye tightened his grip, leaned down slightly, and nuzzled her ear. “Is it nice?”

Su Qingqing had only meant to compliment him, but the question finally dawned on her. Her cheeks flushed slightly, and she softly replied, “Yes.”

Yu Xingye was incredibly satisfied, his dark eyes filled with joy.

He stroked her hair, “Good girl.”

After a long hug, Yu Xingye finally let go and continued his leisurely walk towards the office.

Pushing open the office door, Su Qingqing immediately noticed the new recliner, side tables, and thick, soft white rug next to the floor-to-ceiling window.

The recliner was also filled with pillows, looking incredibly tactile.

Yu Xingye asked, “Is there anything missing?”

Su Qingqing said, somewhat helplessly, “This is an office. You’re practically turning it into a lounge.”

Yu Xingye replied nonchalantly, “No one else is coming in anyway.”

Su Qingqing was forced to sit on the large recliner, which was imbued with Yu Xingye’s selfish intentions.

“Let’s talk in the living room outside,” Yu Xingye said softly, looking down at her. “Stay here with me, okay?”

His eyes were filled with anticipation. Su Qingqing, completely captivated by Yu Xingye’s flirtatious manner, immediately agreed, “Okay.”

Only when Yu Xingye returned to his desk to work on some documents did Su Qingqing come back to her senses. The seat Yu Xingye had assigned her was right in front of the desk, to the left, so they could see each other.

Watching Yu Xingye, his expressionless face, working diligently, Su Qingqing felt that her future life of staying home, coding, was slipping away.

After lying down for a while, Su Qingqing stood up and started to browse for a book on the bookshelf. As she touched the floor, her phone rang. She opened it and saw Li Yun asking when she’d be free to sign the publishing contract.

Su Qingqing thought for a moment, then walked over to Yu Xingye and said, “Yu Xingye, I have four books coming out.”

Yu Xingye’s hand, gripping the mouse, moved to Su Qingqing’s waist, gently pulling her into his lap.

Yu Xingye gazed intently into Su Qingqing’s beautiful eyes and couldn’t resist a kiss.

“Qingqing, that’s great.”

Su Qingqing looked at the undisguised admiration and pride in his eyes, and suddenly felt her heart sore and her eyes red.

She wondered if someone had praised and supported her like this in her previous life, would she have become a well-known writer.

There is no doubt about her parents’ love for her. They all love their daughter deeply, but after knowing that Su Qingqing wanted to make a living by writing, they would also tactfully persuade her to find a stable job, even though Su Qingqing did not like this boring life.

Su Qingqing has always known that this is just a difference in concepts caused by different times, but she was also timid because of this and lost the courage to pursue her dreams.

Su Qingqing buried her face in his neck, not wanting Yu Xingye to see her like this. Yu Xingye pretended not to notice and gently patted her back to comfort her.

“Our Qingqing,” he paused, finally getting the chance to utter the endearing nickname he’d long since learned from Zheng Yinqiu. “Our baby.”

His voice was soft, tinged with a faint smile. “Our baby is truly amazing. She’s only 18 and already has a published work.”

“Do you remember my thousand-word book review?” Su Qingqing nodded, nuzzling Yu Xingye’s neck. As if liking the warm, delicate touch, Su Qingqing nuzzled again.

Yu Xingye’s heart softened, and he patted her head, signaling her to behave. Then, “Those are my sincere opinions.”

“The fact that I was able to write a thousand words with such care is a testament to the excellence of this book.”

Yu Xingye always pretended to be harmless, gentle, and humble in front of Su Qingqing. But at the pinnacle of his profession, no matter how restrained he was, he couldn’t hide his inherent arrogance. Su Qingqing, delighted, kissed the fair, delicate, and warm neck before her.

Feeling the cool, soft touch on his neck, Yu Xingye froze.

Su Qingqing ran away after the kiss and jumped directly off Yu Xingye’s legs. She looked very beautiful with her curved eyebrows.

Su Qingqing’s voice was full of smiles: “It’s a tie.”

Seeing her so happy, Yu Xingye just chuckled and let her go.

Su Qingqing then remembered what she wanted to say to Yu Xingye at the beginning.

“I’m going to sign the publishing contract. I’ll come back to you after I sign it.”

Yu Xingye held Su Qingqing and didn’t let her go.

Su Qingqing looked at Yu Xingye in confusion. He stroked Su Qingqing’s wrist slowly and said, “Ask Li Yun to bring the contract over.”

Su Qingqing told Yu Xingye last time that she had signed with Rose Literature, but she didn’t say that Li Yun was the editor in charge of her.

Yu Xingye explained: “You told me that the day after signing the contract, your name would be in the regular report.”

Su Qingqing knew that Rose Literature was controlled by Yu’s group, and she would definitely report the results to Yu Xingye regularly, but she didn’t expect the timing to be so coincidental.

Su Qingqing was curious: “Will the report also mention this?”

Yu Xingye’s dark pupils were filled with Su Qingqing’s shadow. His voice was low and sexy: “Because you signed an S-level contract.”

No one had ever signed before.

Su Qingqing was the first and only one.

This meant that all the resources of the entire company would be poured into her. Su Qingqing had the highest priority and the most preferential treatment.
