The three of them moved to Jiang Yun Ning's office.
As Lin Zi Tong's assistant, Jiang Yun Ning's office was right next to Lin Zi Tong's, separated only by a wall.
But this wall made a significant difference.
Jiang Yun Ning's office was only a third of the size of Lin Zi Tong's, with far less natural light and a poorer view.
However, the small office was meticulously organized by Jiang Yun Ning, every detail in its place.
Beside her computer on the desk sat a cute cactus, intended to absorb radiation.
Though Yan Shou Yi knew it was utterly useless.
After assessing the situation, he was about to begin rearranging the space when Jiang Yun Ning hurriedly said, "Mr. Yan, please tell me how you plan to change it. I'll write it down, and we can have workers come tomorrow to do it. You don't need to do it yourself."
Yan Shou Yi waved his hand and replied, "There aren't many changes needed. I can do it myself."
Yan Shou Yi's muscles weren't for show; his strength was equivalent to three adult men.
Therefore, the heavy office desk was no obstacle for him.
He made a few adjustments to Jiang Yun Ning's office layout, and the effect was immediate.
Even at night, being in the office felt refreshing.
Especially after the office furniture was moved, it was like parting the clouds to see the sky.
Before, Jiang Yun Ning had made do with her office as it was.
But with Yan Shou Yi's changes, Jiang Yun Ning was utterly delighted.
After setting up the formation, Yan Shou Yi repeated, "There's one last step."
Lin Zi Tong was slightly surprised.
Yan Shou Yi had left a Yuan on her desk as the final step of the feng shui formation.
Was he going to leave something in Jiang Yun Ning's office as well?
If so, Lin Zi Tong couldn't help but feel a pang of jealousy.
It was rare for Yan Shou Yi to be so attentive to her, and Jiang Yun Ning was someone he had just met. Even if it was just a casual gesture, Lin Zi Tong would feel unbalanced.
Yan Shou Yi then took a black wooden block from his satchel.
The wooden block replaced the cactus on the desk.
"What is this?" Jiang Yun Ning asked curiously.
Yan Shou Yi had placed a lifelike wooden bird on Lin Zi Tong's desk. Why was she being given a plain black piece of wood?
If he had to give something, couldn't it at least be something aesthetically pleasing?
Jiang Yun Ning didn't know, but Lin Zi Tong did. This was Yin wood.
It was the same magical wood used to construct the body of the Yuan.
Moreover, only a descendant of Lu Ban could find where Yin wood grew.
Regardless, it was a rare item, no less valuable than the Lu Ban divine wood.
"This is a magical piece of wood. Its effect is the same as what I left in Zi Tong's office, though it's a bit ugly," Yan Shou Yi explained with a smile.
"I see!" Jiang Yun Ning laughed. "Thank you so much, Mr. Yan."
"You're welcome. You are Zi Tong's assistant, and improving your work efficiency is also helping Zi Tong."
"Nevertheless, I must thank you, Mr. Yan. Please wait a moment, and I'll brew some floral tea from my hometown for you both!"
Watching Yan Shou Yi and Jiang Yun Ning interact, Lin Zi Tong felt a sense of grievance for the first time.
She had waited for Yan Shou Yi for over a decade, day in and day out, and only today had she received some of his genuine effort.
Yet, Jiang Yun Ning had no prior relationship with Yan Shou Yi, and he was equally dedicated to her.
While she knew Yan Shou Yi could be a bit dense, he shouldn't be so openly accommodating to everyone.
If he was this nice to all girls, then her years of waiting would have been in vain.
She hadn't been jealous of Luo Ning before because there was no connection between them, and Yan Shou Yi wasn't swayed by Luo Ning's advances.
But Jiang Yun Ning was different; she had been her assistant and close friend for many years.
The more Lin Zi Tong thought about it, the angrier she became.
She then took Yan Shou Yi's hand and said to Jiang Yun Ning, "Sister Yun Ning, we have something urgent to attend to, so we won't be able to have your tea. We have to go now!"
"Oh? The tea is almost ready. Are you sure you don't want to try it?"
"No, we have an emergency!"
Lin Zi Tong pulled Yan Shou Yi and hurried out. Yan Shou Yi asked, confused, "What's the rush? It's not too late to have a cup of tea before leaving!"
Lin Zi Tong pouted, puffing out her cheeks.
She sulkily remained silent and pulled Yan Shou Yi into the elevator.
From the top floor to the ground, and then into the Bentley, Lin Zi Tong didn't say a word, leaving Yan Shou Yi to himself.
By the time they were in the car, Lin Zi Tong's eyes had welled up with tears.
"What's wrong?" Yan Shou Yi asked, suddenly flustered.
"I'm fine."
"But you don't look fine..."
"If I say I'm fine, then I'm fine. Why are you asking so many questions!"
Lin Zi Tong pouted, took out some tissues, and wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes.
Seeing Lin Zi Tong like this, Yan Shou Yi suddenly chuckled.
"What are you laughing at!!"
Lin Zi Tong was furious and punched Yan Shou Yi in the chest.
If Yan Shou Yi hadn't possessed the body of the Tian Sha Corpse Puppet, that punch would have been enough to send him to his grave.
Yan Shou Yi clutched his chest and grinned, "Are you jealous?"
"Of course not!!" Lin Zi Tong retorted angrily.
But the more she denied it, the more wronged she felt.
A heavy feeling settled in her chest.
Before Yan Shou Yi could ask another question, Lin Zi Tong couldn't hold back any longer: "I just feel like waiting ten years for a scoundrel like you was a complete waste of time!"
Yan Shou Yi rolled up his sleeves and asked angrily, "Who's that scoundrel? Tell me, and I'll go beat him up!"
"Who else could it be!" Lin Zi Tong glared fiercely at Yan Shou Yi.
Yan Shou Yi chuckled, took Lin Zi Tong's hand, and said, "So you were jealous of Sister Yun Ning after all."
"How could I not be jealous?" Lin Zi Tong said sourly. "I'm your girlfriend. You should only be good to me. Why is it that whatever Sister Yun Ning asks, you do it? You're so good to her, what does that make me?"
"Just say it if you're angry. I'm not unreasonable."
"Get lost!"
If he continued to string Lin Zi Tong along, Yan Shou Yi might not survive the night in this car.
So he quickly confessed, "I helped Sister Yun Ning with a hidden agenda!"
"Aha! So you really have feelings for Sister Yun Ning!!" Lin Zi Tong exclaimed angrily. "What's wrong with me compared to her? Is my waist not as slim, or my legs not as long? My chest... my chest isn't as large as hers, but it's firm!"
Yan Shou Yi quickly covered Lin Zi Tong's mouth.
Listen to yourself, what kind of outlandish words are these!
It was true, when women were pushed to their limits, they would say anything.
Yan Shou Yi said helplessly, "You've misunderstood. There's something wrong with Sister Yun Ning. I left the Yuan in your office to protect you. As for the Yin wood I left in Sister Yun Ning's office, it contains a ghost I've recently subdued, and I've had that ghost keep an eye on Sister Yun Ning!"
Upon hearing this, Lin Zi Tong gradually calmed down.
She pushed Yan Shou Yi's hand away, disbelief etched on her face, and said, "Sister Yun Ning has been with me for so many years; we're like sisters. You're saying there's something wrong with her? It's impossible... it's impossible..."
Yan Shou Yi sighed, "I'm not sure yet, which is why I didn't plan to tell you. I didn't expect you to get angry over this. Right now, it's just a suspicion. Whether Sister Yun Ning truly has issues, the Yuan and the ghost will tell us the answer."
"Then what do you suspect is wrong with her?"
"Likely related to your press conference in three days," Yan Shou Yi replied directly.
Lin Zi Tong instantly understood.
The press conference in three days was significant and would undoubtedly cut into many people's profits.
It was normal for her situation to be dangerous now.
But she still couldn't believe that Sister Yun Ning could be problematic.
Yan Shou Yi continued, "I have some other matters to attend to, but for the next three days, it's best if we stay together. I need to personally ensure your safety."
Personally protect her...?
Lin Zi Tong suddenly felt the tightness in her chest ease.
Not only did it ease, but she felt incredibly happy.
This meant Yan Shou Yi wouldn't be running around for the next few days and would be staying by her side?
And this sudden display of boyfriend-like possessiveness, what was that about?
Suddenly, Lin Zi Tong blinked and asked Yan Shou Yi, "Then, will we sleep together as well?"
