My Weekend Lover Turned Out To Be My Boss - Chapter 34

Chapter 34: Daocheng Yading II. “The Gentle Breeze Comes”

“Lazy bum, wake up!”

“Mmm~ No! Just a little longer!”

“You get off me! It’s fine if you want to sleep in, but why do you have to drag me with you?! I have a very important meeting today, now hurry up and get off!”

I groggily opened my eyes, stared at Qin Yun, and then smiled, giving her a big bear hug, holding her tightly in my arms. She had no recourse but to pretend to be dead and stopped moving. I pinched her nose, playing a trick: “Sweetheart~~~ Spring is here. Look, our Lucky is already calling out restlessly. Shouldn’t we start getting frisky too~~”

Qin Yun reached up and covered her chest, glaring at me vigilantly: “Wolf! What are you trying to do?”

“Kisses~”

“Get real! I haven’t even brushed my teeth yet!”

I reached out and smoothed her messy hair, tilting my head to look at her, blinking my eyes to feign misery, then cupped her face: “Kiss the forehead~ Mwah! Kiss the cheek~ Mwah on the left! Mwah on the right! Kiss the nose~ Mwah! Kiss the chin~ Mwah!”

“Alright, alright, looks like the meeting is off the table. I’ll take the day off, okay?”

Qin Yun’s indulgence towards me had reached the point where she would set aside work. I shook my head and suggested, “How can that be? If you take a day off, you’ll make me sleep alone for two nights—it’s simply not worth it! How about… I accompany you to the company? You work, and I’ll keep you company~”

She reached out and wrapped her arms around my neck, flipping over to pin me beneath her, looking lustful as if she were about to bestow her favor upon me. I lifted a strand of her long hair and sniffed it. She leaned down and lightly bit my neck: “Your exquisite charm is enough to make this Emperor ignore important court matters. Tell me, is my beloved concubine a trouble-maker?”

I laughed gleefully, then sat up: “Enough, enough! The country and its people are more important. Your subject will now help Your Majesty change clothes~”

“Good girl~”

We walked into the bathroom. Our daily routine of getting ready together was the most heartwarming, and happiness seeped into every corner. After changing, I rushed into the kitchen to prepare breakfast. Thankfully, I was smart enough to prepare the food the night before so I could just heat it up the next day. As the food went into the microwave, Qin Yun called out to me: “Xiao Qi! Xiao Qi! Emergency aid!”

I ran into the bedroom and flopped onto the bed, looking confusedly at Qin Yun, who was sitting at the dressing table: “What’s wrong?”

“Draw my eyebrows!”

“Wow! When did our diligent boss become so lazy? You even rely on me for your makeup!”

Qin Yun picked out lipsticks, comparing a few shades, and said with a smile, “Our Xiao Qi draws them beautifully~ Don’t you want to draw the brows and dot the lips for your lover?”

I scooted closer to her, knelt on the floor, rested my chin on her shoulder, and said naughtily, “I do! Why wouldn’t I? Or… I could draw them ugly, so no one would dare to want you. Hahahaha~”

She shot me a sharp glare: “You dare!”

…

Walking into the office, Qin Yun automatically made me her shadow. She even made me attend meetings, and not only that, but she also placed me in the seat closest to her. Consequently, the meeting atmosphere became very strange. Everyone was too scared to breathe loudly. Only I was most adapted. I rarely saw Qin Yun looking serious without a smile, so today was an eye-opener. The Qin Yun who lost her temper and didn’t recognize anyone was like this…

As soon as she entered the conference room, this woman seemed possessed. She silently flipped through the documents prepared by the secretary. Then, the leaders of various departments reported their work status one after another. Suddenly, Bang! Qin Yun slammed the documents onto the table. Everyone in the conference room flinched. Qin Yun leaned back into her chair and demanded:

“What is going on with your Marketing Department? I have stated repeatedly that for any expense in any department, you must follow the financial process first, then submit for reimbursement. What are you doing? Acting first and reporting later? Do you think I’m talking to the wind?

“Throwing all these messy accounts at the Finance Department! Do you not want to work here anymore? If you don’t, leave now! Also, four or five successful bids, and not one has kept up with the progress. Who will compensate for the late fines? Everyone in the Marketing Department is working overtime! Until you catch up with the on-site progress, don’t you dare go home to sleep!”

After another long discussion, I checked the time. It was almost lunchtime, and she finally relented: “Meeting adjourned.”

The group fled the conference room as if their lives depended on it. Qin Yun closed her eyes, massaging her forehead, looking distressed. When I saw that the room was empty, I carefully reached out and held her hand: “Young lady, are you doing okay?”

She half-opened her eyes and looked at me tiredly: “No!”

“You were… so fierce just now!”

She finally showed a hint of a relaxed smile, affectionately rubbing my head: “Because… all my tenderness is saved for you~”

That comment made my heart flutter almost uncontrollably. She leaned her head forward and asked, “During the meeting, I saw you writing and drawing with your head down. What were you doing? Don’t tell me you were taking meeting minutes.”

“Of course I wasn’t…”

“Then what were you doing?”

I pushed the sketchbook toward her: “I can’t take minutes, but I can record you in your working state~”

The Qin Yun in the sketchbook was sitting in the boss’s chair, furiously scolding an employee. She looked at my cartoon and complained crossly, “Do I look that ugly when I’m angry? No, redraw it!”

Saying this, she made to tear up my drawing. I quickly snatched the notebook back: “This is exaggeration, what do you know!”

“It’s not realistic at all. Bad review! You’re not allowed to uglify me in the future!”

“Alright, let’s go have lunch quickly~”

…

You Feifan was obsessed with my drawing and shamelessly insisted that I give her the entire sketchbook. When this person acted spoiled, it was hard to resist, so I had to give her the sketchbook. Before returning to Yading Village, we decided to find new accommodation near Longtongba. Travelers passing by discussed renting tents in the vicinity.

You Feifan, on a whim, grabbed my arm and insisted on joining the fun. There were indeed tents and sleeping bags for rent, but the weather was very cold. Who would want to shiver in the middle of the night? So I protested: “Are you crazy? It’s going to be freezing tonight. Will you even sleep soundly? Besides, how inconvenient is it for washing and going to the bathroom!”

“When in Rome, do as the Romans do. We have to experience a different kind of trip!”

“But we shouldn’t torture ourselves! You sleep in the tent, I’m staying in a warm room!”

This thoughtless person didn’t try to stop me at all, saying to herself, “Then you go. Remember to come pick me up tomorrow~”

“You!”

Saying that, she had already pulled out her wallet, ready to pay. There were quite a few people renting tents, all drawn by the fame. They said the night sky in Yading was comparable to the aurora borealis in Iceland, and that if the weather was clear tonight, the stars would be amazing. And so, I succumbed to You Feifan’s stubbornness!

She chose a good spot and directed the owner to pitch the tent. This person was very generous with money, choosing the most expensive options. She quickly snatched up the best tent and sleeping bags, and didn’t forget to give the owner a small tip, exchanging polite conversation.

After settling down, she sat inside the tent to rest: “I asked clearly. The best tent is windproof and thickened. We can choose the sleeping bags. There’s also a bonfire party tonight. It costs an extra hundred per person, and you can eat until you burst. The toilet is in the guesthouse behind us, very convenient!”

“What am I going to do with you! If you don’t wear yourself out, you start wearing me out. I’ve really fallen into your hands!”

…

Within an afternoon, You Feifan had already befriended the tenants next door. Everyone enjoyed this kind of short, unexpected encounter. The tents weren’t pitched far apart, so people exchanged food with each other. We had come empty-handed. While I was sleeping, You Feifan ran out and made a big round trip.

“Oh, what did you buy?”

“Dried yak meat! I’m telling you, you have to buy it from the villagers; it’s cheaper and more genuine. Come, come, try some…”

“How can we impose on you?”

“Don’t be polite! You guys gave us snacks too.”

I vaguely heard this person chatting nonsense outside. After a while, she slipped into the tent: “Don’t sleep, eat something.”

I sat up lazily and looked at her: “What did you buy this time?”

She smacked her lips and started enthusiastically praising the food: “Yak meat! I’m telling you, this is the best beef jerky I’ve ever eaten! It’s so fragrant! I can’t stop. I’ve eaten most of the bag as I walked!”

I looked at her delightful expression with a piece of beef jerky dangling from her mouth. She was such an easily satisfied, good kid. She insisted on shoving the food into my mouth, urging: “Hurry, try it, try it!”

“Oh, I’ll take it myself!”

“I also packed this for you… Da-da-da-da~~ Buttered tea! It’s still hot!”

“I can’t stand the smell. I won’t drink it!”

This person clapped her hands, then magically produced a bottle: “I knew you were picky, so I packed some highland barley wine. Want to try it?”

“Dora You Meng (Doraemon-You Feifan), have you ever seen someone sitting in a tent drinking highland barley wine without eating anything?”

She clapped her hands again and took out a box of packaged barley cake from the bag: “I just bought some local specialties. Main food, drinks, wine, and meat, all complete. Tell me, isn’t it wonderful to eat dried beef and drink a sip of barley wine?”

…

The night descending over Yading carried a mysterious aura. The travelers were drawn out by the sounds outside the tents. The owner had set up dining tables. In total, our group numbered about six or seven tables. A bonfire was lit in the middle, and lamb legs skewered on a metal rack sizzled and crackled as they roasted, dripping oil. According to the tent sequence, we were seated with a couple from the adjacent tent.

The couple was around thirty or forty years old. Seeing You Feifan and me come out to join the fun, they quickly moved the stools to save us seats. You Feifan took out a cigarette and handed it to the man: “Thanks, brother.”

The man took the cigarette and replied with a laugh: “Don’t mention it!”

“Where are you and your wife from?”

“Inner Mongolia.”

Once the conversation started, You Feifan began to boast: “Wow, Inner Mongolia is a great place! Green pastures, visible cattle and sheep! I had several college classmates from Huhhot. Their alcohol tolerance is frightening!”
