Chapter 164 New Year’s Goods
"Brother, give up. Yun-ge won't like you. You're an alpha, how can you be with him? You'll end up causing Yun-ge to have no descendants."
Besides, you're 12 years older than Yun-ge, a whole cycle! Even if you two were to force yourselves to be together, you at least have some looks now.
But in another ten years or so, you'll be old and faded, while Brother Yun will be in his prime, in the prime of his life, and might get tired of you someday.
"By then, you won't even have the energy to have children, and in the end, Yun-ge and I will have to take care of you in your old age and see you off when you die. Isn't that just asking for trouble?"
Upon hearing this, Lu Yan hesitated for a moment before speaking, "Yunyun said before that I am not old, and that I am as beautiful as a peony, incomparable to a moss flower." His words were clearly pointed.
“Brother Yun didn’t want to hurt you. He’s always been so kind, you know that. Anyway, I don’t think you two are a good match.”
Ruan Huai continued to attack Lu Yan's psychological defenses, attempting to force him to back down.
"I'm not a good match for him, and neither am I. You're four years older than him, so let's not make fun of each other."
Ruan Huai was unconvinced, grabbed a bottle of mineral water and took a big gulp, directly refuting the claim.
"They've already said that three years of university education brings good fortune. Can't I give them even more gold bars as part of my dowry?"
"So according to you, if I just carry four gold bricks, they won't be worth as much as yours."
Besides, you're like this now—no money, no skills, you're neurotic, have a bad temper, and a huge appetite. Marrying you would be nothing more than warding off evil spirits.
Ruan Huai: Holy crap! You're a jerk!
……
Shen Ruoyun got out of bed early that day, not for any other reason than that Yuan Yun had asked him to go to the company at the last minute.
Tomorrow is Lunar New Year's Eve, and although he has gained some fame now.
However, Yuan Yun did not arrange any Spring Festival Gala appearances for him this year.
When Shen Ruoyun arrived at the company, Yuan Yun was still busy, so she could only sit in the office for a while.
Most of the other staff members are on holiday, and only a few artists come occasionally.
Shen Ruoyun was eating the cookies that Yuan Yun had specially given him.
The taste and texture are somewhat similar to the one I had in Chen Jiaxi's car last time.
He came over in a bit of a rush this morning and hadn't had breakfast yet, but he showed off several items all at once.
Just then, Yuan Yun pushed the door open and came in. When she saw Shen Ruoyun, her smile deepened.
This is her precious gold nugget, a treasure trove of wealth!
Shen Ruoyun was still holding cookies in her hand, and when she saw Yuan Yun come in, she prepared to put them down.
"No need, you eat. I'll tell you, it's nothing serious."
Shen Ruoyun nodded and continued eating. Yuan Yun looked at him like this and couldn't help but sigh.
Hearing this sigh, Shen Ruoyun carefully put the biscuit down.
Shen Ruoyun's inner monologue: Oh my god, what does her sigh mean? Did she call me here to talk about terminating my contract? Am I going to lose this job with room and board included?
Shen Ruoyun licked the cookie crumbs off her lips, feeling a little flustered.
"Sister Yuan, is our company facing any difficulties?"
Upon hearing his words, Yuan Yun's expression froze for a moment before she reacted.
He suddenly burst out laughing and waved his hands repeatedly, "No, no."
As she spoke, she looked at Shen Ruoyun with kind eyes and slowly asked, "Will Ruoyun be spending the New Year alone this year?"
Shen Ruoyun nodded, "Yes, Sister Yuan, I'll be living alone."
Hearing this, Yuan Yun's eyes were filled with heartache. "Then do you want to come back with me to celebrate the New Year together?"
Shen Ruojun was somewhat flattered, but still declined.
Although he and Yuan Yun had a good relationship, he still felt a little uncomfortable in her presence, especially since he didn't know her family.
"Never mind, Sister Yuan, I might go to a friend's house for a few days."
Yuan Yun roughly knew what Xiang was thinking, and only made a suggestion; she wouldn't force Shen Ruoyun if she didn't want to.
"Okay, then you can come to me if you have any problems."
Also, remember to lock the doors and windows when you're alone. My wife made some dumplings at home; she's a good cook, so I brought you some to try.
Shen Ruojun was still in shock when she heard this. What wife?
But I didn't think much of it. Who cares about a wife or husband? As long as someone has food, they're a good person.
"Oh, I can't accept that~ Then I won't stand on ceremony. Sister Yuan, please remember to thank my wife... uh... Mrs. Yuan for me."
Yuan Yun thought Shen Ruoyun was incredibly well-behaved, and she liked her very much, thinking that she would have a child like that in the future to play with.
"Oh, by the way, this is for you. I hope you have good health and a smooth career in the coming year."
When Shen Ruoyun saw the red envelope Yuan Yun handed over, she seemed to have triggered some kind of muscle memory and suddenly stood up.
"May you have smooth sailing, soaring success, auspicious beginnings, peace in all seasons, five blessings at your door, everything going smoothly, good fortune shining upon you, wealth coming from all directions, unity and harmony, perfection in everything, a thousand auspicious things, and ten thousand wishes fulfilled..."
Shen Ruoyun finished speaking in one breath without even panting, and then took the red envelope and squeezed it.
Holy crap! This is incredible! We're going to be rich!
Upon hearing these kind words, Yuan Yun's affection for Shen Ruoyun instantly reached its peak, and she immediately wanted to go home and have a son.
"Then I'll head back first. Remember to be careful on your way back." With that, he reached out and hugged Shen Ruoyun.
When Shen Ruoyun saw Yuan Yun leave, she became a little anxious and tugged at Yuan Yun's sleeve.
"Sister Yuan, did you forget something?"
After she finished speaking, her face turned red instantly, and she lowered her head slightly, feeling a little embarrassed.
Yuan Yun was a little confused, and after thinking it over, she felt like she hadn't forgotten anything.
He looked up at Shen Ruoyun, who was clearly not joking with him.
Shen Ruoyun also felt Yuan Yun's gaze, and immediately smiled at him, her eyes full of longing.
Yuan Yun's eyes darted around as she frantically searched her memory.
"Oh...right, your appearance fee from last time has already been deposited into your account."
Shen Ruoyun looked at Yuan Yun with a somewhat disappointed expression, but still obediently responded.
"I have received it."
Yuan Yun smiled and patted Shen Ruoyun on the shoulder, looking like she believed in her.
She turned to leave, but Shen Ruoyun grabbed her sleeve.
Shen Ruoyun asked softly, "Sister Yuan, am I really not?"
Upon hearing this, Yuan Yun was suddenly a little confused and asked in return, not understanding why.
"Ah...nothing?"
Shen Ruoyun glanced at Yuan Yun secretly, then immediately looked away.
"It's just New Year's goods."
"New Year's goods? What New Year's goods?" Yuan Yun didn't react for a moment and asked subconsciously.
"Just a few days ago, I went to class and I saw that Xiao Zhang at the front desk had New Year's goods."
"Huh? Is that so?" Yuan Yun genuinely didn't know about these things and wasn't particularly interested.
"Yes, yes, I saw them all. There was a can of peanut oil, a bag of flour, and a carton of milk. I think there were also some shopping cards or something?"
Shen Ruoyun glanced at Yuan Yun's expression, a little unsure, and asked in a low voice.
"Sister Yuan, is it because I just joined this year that I didn't get a job?"
