Chapter 207 - Picking Up

And it did happen. Lei Xing Yi refused to talk with her cousin until it was lunch time and they had a short break. Yu Yan didn't really need to officially stay in the office all the time, but she didn't really have anything to do aside from assigning the plan and do some research.

Kang San Hai was glad that Lei Xing Yi's anger subsided later on. If it continued, they might not be able to work properly.

"Say, just how much do you pay Cousin Yu Yan to have her work so hard with you?" Kang San Hai asked when they have lunch break. He noticed that Lei Xing Yi no longer looked that angry to him, so he chose to start talking again.

"I didn't pay her."

"Huh?"

"The company is half hers, why should I pay her?" Lei Xing Yi was amused. The two biggest shareholder in the company was her and Yu Yan. Why should she pay Yu Yan when it was also beneficial to her?

Kang San Hai was stumped. He looked at Lei Xing Yi with grieved expression. "Why don't you set up the company with me and instead only with Cousin Yu Yan? I can help you more than her!"

"Help me? It's good enough that you didn't make angry all the time, Cousin Kang San Hai."

"Hey, am I that loathsome?"

"What do you think?"

"I'm the handsome and capable Kang San Hai! How could it be possible for me to make my pretty cousin angry?"

Lei Xing Yi's lips twitched at the words Kang San Hai threw to her. Did he never think that his words were not suitable to say to her? She really wished that she could throw the folder to his head to make sure that he could be clear headed again. 

Yu Yan patted Kang San Hai's shoulder. "Stop teasing Lil Xing Yi. You're a decade older than her but you're still bullying her so much?"

Kang San Hai was speechless. It was not his fault that he was born much earlier but still like this, alright? Fine, he would not bully his younger cousin again…

The three of them talked a bit more. Kang San Hai told them that he would share the news regarding Kang Family's problem when there was time in the future. They didn't reject him. Though, both Yu Yan and Lei Xing Yi actually had their own methods to hear the news if they wanted to.

After having lunch together, Yu Yan stayed in her own office, which was located right next to Lei Xing Yi's office for the next few hours. It was only after she had finished drafting her plan did she leave.

"Where do you want to go, Madam?" An Lin asked respectfully.

"Pay a visit to Ying. Is he staying in the base?"

"Boss is visiting another clan's headquarter. Would you still like to head there?"

Yu Yan paused for a moment. She knew that there were several clans in this country. In City A alone, there were several of them even though the one who held the most influence was Dragon Clan.

It would be dangerous for her, the wife of the current Dragon Clan Head to visit other territory.

"Let's wait at the border of the territory for him, then."

"Yes, Madam."

Looking out of the window, Yu Yan pondered to herself. Back in the past, she would not care that much about the hidden struggle that occurred behind the shadows. It was not a problem for her to travel to many places either.

But with her current identity, she had to stay careful if she didn't want to get involved in some dispute. After all, the security in some areas were not as strict as the one within Long Ying's territory.

'I never think that I'll need to pay attention when I'm traveling within the city.'

Yu Yan was both amused and felt a bit complicated. In any case, she didn't mind having her trip restricted. The areas within Dragon Clan was still very wide and naturally, there were also neutral areas.

She could pay a visit there without any problems.

While waiting in the car, An Lin took out his phone and contacted the others through the group chat.

An Lin: Madam is waiting for Boss in Street Au Lu no. 3.

An Luo: Boss is still in the middle of negotiation. It seems that there are some clans who have collaborated with the Second Young Master.

An Lin: What? He's trying to spread influence through the black street too? Does he want to court death?

San Xia: if it's done right, it can be beneficial to him.

Lan Huo: How beneficial can it be if he had to trade with things that he cares about? Anyway, nothing will come out good from dealing with those within the underworld.

San Xia: …Do you forget we're part of the underworld too.

Lan Huo: $%^&*(!

An Luo: he must have forgotten. Boss is done and will come there.

An Lin: Got it.

Yu Yan noticed that An Lin was looking at her. She arched her eyebrows. "Will he come soon?"

"Yes, Madam."

"Good."

Casting her eyes outside, Yu Yan began to pay attention to everyone who were around the area. It didn't take long before her eyes caught onto familiar car and reading the license plate, she knew that she had found the right one.

A smile tugged on the corner of her lips when she saw Long Ying walked out of the backseat. He was wearing his usual shirt plus long black jacket. Wearing black glasses, he did look suspicious in this days and age, but Yu Yan liked his appearance.

His head locked in her direction as he walked closer. Opening the door, Long Ying entered the car and pulled Yu Yan to his embrace with familiarity. His breath tickled her ear as he positioned himself behind her.

"Yan'er, didn't I tell you that you don't need to pick me up?"

"I want to." Yu Yan giggled and leaned back. She could faintly sense the lingering smell of gunpowder and blood from him. Her eyebrows creased a bit before she snuggled even closer. "Welcome back, Hubby."

"En, I'm back."
