Chapter 92: The Only Privilege
Ye Ran pouted. “You’re so busy, and I didn’t make an appointment with you beforehand. I couldn’t get up there.”
the eyes of the several girls at the front desk widened instantly.
This was a disaster!
He didn’t say his boyfriend was President Chi!
They had secretly looked at President Chi’s photo during work hours and were caught red-handed by President Chi’s boyfriend, and they even hadn’t let him go up to find him.
Several people instantly broke into a cold sweat.
Chi Yuheng’s gaze swept over the faces of the front desk employees. “Remember this face.”
He was referring to Ye Ran.
“In the future, he doesn’t need an appointment. He can enter directly. Chengyi will only grant this one privilege.”
Several people shrunk like quails and nodded rapidly. “Understood.”
Chi Yuheng took Ye Ran’s hand in front of them, his fingertips naturally clasping his palm. At this moment, their intertwined hands became the most eye-catching scenery.
Ye Ran was led away by him, his gaze fixed straight on their intertwined hands.
Chi Yuheng’s fingers were well-defined, covering his slightly thinner hand. The contrast was sharp, yet exceptionally harmonious.
Being held tightly like this, a tiny curl appeared at the corner of Ye Ran’s mouth.
He was another big step closer to success.
It wasn’t until they reached the elevator door that he pressed the up button. His other hand still didn’t let go, holding him steadily, the warmth of his fingertips never fading.
Xin Yu consciously maintained a proper distance from them—a distance where he couldn’t hear whatever whispers the two in front were sharing.
Seeing them enter the CEO’s private elevator, Xin Yu consciously went to the employee elevator.
It wasn’t that he couldn’t use that elevator; he had taken it countless times with Chi Yuheng. But now that Ye Ran was here, in a cramped space like an elevator, he’d better not go and join the crowd.
The elevator ascended slowly. Ye Ran peeked through the mirror at the person beside him.
Chi Yuheng was looking at the indicator light at the top of the elevator. His profile was cold and smooth, his jawline taut, yet the hand holding him was incredibly gentle.
“What are you thinking about?” Chi Yuheng’s voice suddenly rang in his ear. The low voice rippled in the enclosed elevator, carrying a bit of a muffled echo.
He turned his head, his gaze falling on Ye Ran’s smiling face, a hint of inquiry flickering in his eyes.
Suddenly being caught, Ye Ran quickly looked away. “There’s no one else here. You can let go of my hand now.”
Chi Yuheng chuckled. “Can’t I hold it if no one’s here? Or do you think I’m holding your hand just to show them?”
Ye Ran’s tone was relaxed. “I’m just afraid of ruining President Chi’s perfect image in their hearts.”
“I offered to buy the photo they took of you and they wouldn’t sell. It shows how important President Chi is in the hearts of these girls.”
Ye Ran spoke lightly, his fingertips unconsciously scratching Chi Yuheng’s palm, as if he would scratch that one spot to the end if Chi Yuheng didn’t stop him.
Chi Yuheng raised an eyebrow, his brows tinged with obvious delight. “Of course I’m important. After all, I’m the decision-maker of this company, the person who pays their salaries.”
With one sentence, he placed his position correctly; he was just the boss.
“Indeed.” Ye Ran said nonchalantly. “The photo they took was quite good. I don’t even have a photo of you on my phone, but…”
Ye Ran looked at Chi Yuheng through the elevator mirror, his words certain. “I bet you don’t have a photo of me on your phone either.”
Ye Ran felt that Chi Yuheng definitely didn’t.
Because he didn’t remember taking a photo with Chi Yuheng, so naturally, he didn’t remember Chi Yuheng ever taking a photo of him.
If neither of them had one, they could be considered even.
To his surprise, Chi Yuheng gave a low laugh, his thumb rubbing the patterns on his palm, his tone carrying a bit of sly certainty. “Who said I don’t?”
Ye Ran: “???”
Chi Yuheng began to state his case. “When you were little and wet your pants, while I was changing them for you, your butt was bitten by a mosquito. You didn’t even put on your pants before chasing the mosquito all over the room, saying only one of you could live.”
“It happened that I had just bought a camera then, so I took a photo of you. That photo is still on my phone now.”
Ye Ran: “…”
So he had been photographed with a bare butt; that counted as a semi-nude photo, right?
A crack appeared in Ye Ran’s composure.
Disregarding his survival, Chi Yuheng continued his output. “The first time you walked the dog, you didn’t know Hengbao’s combat power. You took it to the river to play, and it ended up pulling you into a mud pit.”
“When you came back, you were covered in mud. The two tufts of hair on your head were matted with mud into curls, making you look like a muddy version of Lazy Sheep-Sheep. I thought the look was so unique that I took a photo of it.”
Ye Ran remembered; it was the look where two “turds” were coiled on his head.
Chi Yuheng: “And…”
Before he could finish, Ye Ran urgently interrupted him. “No more!”
The elevator finally reached the top floor. In that short time, Ye Ran felt it had been exceptionally long.
The elevator doors opened, and Ye Ran stepped out quickly.
The employee elevator arrived a bit later. As soon as Xin Yu stepped out, he saw Ye Ran walking ahead with a red face, while his boss followed unhurriedly behind with a smile.
Xin Yu’s first reaction: Did I miss something?
Then he realized: I definitely missed something.
That was great.
Xin Yu suddenly felt his choice had been so correct; he hadn’t taken the same elevator as them.
Ye Ran walked ahead, suddenly turning his head to stare at Chi Yuheng. “Are those the only two photos on your phone?”
Without waiting for Chi Yuheng’s answer, Ye Ran said directly, “Delete them. I don’t allow myself to have a history of dark moments.”
He spoke solemnly, but Chi Yuheng hadn’t told him that he didn’t just have two photos like that; he had accumulated an entire album of Ye Ran from childhood to adulthood.
It couldn’t really be called a history of dark moments; at most, it was a growth record.
After walking a few more steps, Ye Ran turned around again, his tone carrying a hint of a threat. “I’m warning you: you aren’t allowed to take photos of my embarrassing moments from now on, or I’ll give you a taste of your own medicine.”
Chi Yuheng nodded as if in agreement.
It wasn’t that he agreed not to take photos of Ye Ran, but that he agreed to the “taste of your own medicine” part.
Naturally, Ye Ran didn’t know what he was thinking and continued walking.
After a few more steps, he stopped once more. At the same time he turned around, Chi Yuheng spoke, “Is there any other command?”
Ye Ran glanced at him. “This is your company. It’s my first time here; how would I know where to go? You lead the way.”
Chi Yuheng chuckled and walked ahead of him, while moving his hand behind his back.
Ye Ran looked at Chi Yuheng’s hand and unconsciously held onto it, only hooking one finger.
He suddenly wanted to tell him something.
About what happened today.
He spoke indifferently. “Chi Yuheng, Ming Qingyan came to the school to find me today. She wanted me to cooperate with her.”
Chi Yuheng didn’t stop. “Whether to cooperate with her is your right.”
Ye Ran: “I know. She said you would marry Qiao Yousheng in the future.”
Chi Yuheng: “I won’t.”
Very firm, very reassuring.
Ye Ran curled his lips into a smile. “I told her you won’t marry Qiao Yousheng because you’re my boyfriend.”
