My Life with Narration

Chapter 450 - 442: I Can’t Control Myself!

The nine-day vacation of October quickly passed, and on October 10th, Shen Yi, glowing with vitality, tidied up and prepared to dive back into work.

In the morning, in the living room, Shen Yi stood at the door wearing a black trench coat, with a tight-fitting black top underneath, giving her a striking air of elegance.

Perhaps due to their blossoming relationship, Shen Yi looked more radiant. She had always been beautiful and elegant, but now she seemed even younger.

If she didn’t mention it, others might mistake her for being only twenty-five or twenty-six, with a youthful charm that added to her allure.

Contrasting this, Su Qing was much more relaxed, his hair unkempt, face unwashed, and still in pajamas, with his hair slightly tousled.

"You’re really not going to the office with me? Why, are you afraid of the gossip from colleagues as a grown man? As the boss, I’m not afraid, so why should you be?" Shen Yi teased him, leaning slightly forward with hands in pockets, trying to playfully tease her younger man with an older sister’s attitude.

Previously, it was fine as they were still on vacation, but now returning to work, Su Qing, as a secretary, saying he wouldn’t go to the office, left Aunt Shen somewhat unsettled.

She thought that maybe it was because of the previous video, and perhaps her younger brother was shy, fearing gossip among colleagues. After all, as the boss, even if the employees had doubts, at most they would gossip behind her back. But for Su Qing, if he went back, many would inevitably come to inquire.

Su Qing’s previous video went viral. Although most of it was because his photos were exposed, she and Wen Nanqing appeared in the video—one was a side profile and the other a back view. The employees might not recognize Wen Nanqing’s back, but they could definitely recognize her.

During the short vacation, the company’s male secretary took the beautiful boss on a trip. Just thinking about it made for quite the office gossip around water coolers and lunch breaks.

Upon hearing this, Su Qing couldn’t help but roll his eyes, placing a hand on her head: "Come on, I’m not afraid. It’s just dating my own boss, it’s not like I’ve committed a crime. What’s there to fear? I’m just too busy with things recently and can’t find the time. I’ll be back to work by mid-next month, how about that?"

Though what Shen Yi said was logical, in such a situation, the company would inevitably have people saying he’s freeloading or taking advantage, but what did that matter? Anyway, he didn’t care.

He knew whether he was freeloading or not, and whether freeloading was enjoyable, too; others at most could ask, but if anyone dared to taunt him to his face, wouldn’t that be out of jealousy? After all, these days, being able to freeload is a skill in itself.

Hearing this, Shen Yi understood he genuinely had things to attend to. After all, when borrowing money, Su Qing mentioned the timeline would be about a month and a half.

"Really?"

Su Qing nodded.

"You’re sure it’s not because you’re afraid of being seen as kept by your boss and losing face at the company?"

"Ah, no, really! If you want, I can announce in the group that I’ve charmed our President Shen and made our relationship public!" Su Qing responded helplessly.

From the side narrators, it seemed that though Shen Yi appeared confident and glamorous, internally, she was anxious due to their age difference, but mostly concerned about his feelings, fearing that the inequality might lead to gossip affecting him psychologically.

This made him deeply touched, but he believed she worried too much; he couldn’t be happier. The saying "an older woman is like embracing a gold brick" truly held some truth.

Shen Yi was not only three years older than him, but the gold bricks he embraced were evidently more than one. She possessed intelligence, gentleness, emotional stability, and didn’t cause unnecessary scenes. Sometimes, she’d even take care of his emotions, with a standout appearance and exquisite figure, making her financial status to Su Qing the least conspicuous trait.

Given that he was now making millions daily, entering a different socioeconomic class, when wealth reaches a certain point, people stop deliberately comparing.

"Okay then, I’m off to work, give me a kiss!" Shen Yi said sweetly, tilting her head up.

Seeing this, Su Qing couldn’t help but shake his head, then gently pecked her on the lips. Instantly, Shen Yi turned contentedly and left.

On the first day back from the vacation, Shen Yi, as the boss, also arrived at the office on time, driving to the company at 9 AM.

The weather was pleasant, with neither too hot nor too cold temperatures, seamlessly transitioning to autumn.

After getting out of the car, grabbing her bag, Shen Yi walked with a breeze, sometimes even skipping like a little girl, clearly in high spirits.

Taking the elevator upstairs, as soon as she entered the office, she spotted Wang Qi, the HR manager. Before he could greet her, Shen Yi waved and smiled: "Morning, Xiao Wang!"

"Ah? Good... Morning..." He was about to greet her as President Shen but saw she had already moved far ahead, leaving him scratching his head in confusion.

This situation happened numerous times; whether with departmental heads or other employees, as long as Shen Yi saw them, she would greet them, leaving the company folks puzzled.

"President Shen, President Shen? Snap out of it!"

In the office, Deng Jie held some documents, looking at the daydreaming boss, she sighed helplessly. As someone who had been through similar experiences, she understood what Shen Yi’s expression meant.

She didn’t need to guess to know what happened. It was obvious that President Shen and that youngster’s romance had blossomed; otherwise, why would she have that expression?

When she’d first seen Su Qing at President Shen’s suburban villa, she’d thought her boss was simply having fun with him. Little did she expect her boss to be serious.

It turned out her initial concerns weren’t baseless. But now, the situation was set, and there was nothing more to be done, especially since she was just an employee without any right to meddle in the boss’s love life.

Now, she could only hope that Su Qing was genuine and wouldn’t disappoint her boss’s genuine feelings, lest he turn out to be deceiving her.

"Huh? What’s up?" Shen Yi snapped back to reality and spoke. Due to Su Qing’s absence, her thoughts had wandered.

Having just established their relationship a few days ago, and having spent every day together since, their sudden separation even left a strong, self-controlled woman like Shen Yi feeling a bit dazed.

Hearing this, Deng Jie sighed and replied, "President Shen, weren’t you planning to have a meeting? Here are the meeting materials."

Oblivious at first, Shen Yi hurriedly took the materials and started reviewing them.

Standing nearby, Deng Jie watched Shen Yi’s expressions with a hesitant look on her face.

Noticing this expression, Shen Yi asked curiously, "What’s up? Did something happen to put that look on your face?"

"Um..."

"Um what? If there’s something to say, just say it. You’ve been with me long enough; there’s nothing you can’t tell me." Shen Yi said with a smile.

Though Deng Jie had moved to oversee the business department, she was previously Shen Yi’s secretary, so she was trusted and close with her. They would often joke around in private.

"President Shen... Are you and Mr. Su together now?"

Shen Yi was startled and looked at her in surprise, "Why do you ask that?"

"It’s not just idle curiosity. It’s just too obvious... You’re the boss; tone it down a bit!" Deng Jie advised earnestly.

She was just short of saying that since Shen Yi got here today, she’s been grinning ear to ear. It’s not just her who could see this; everyone outside the office could guess what’s up.

No company boss grins so foolishly every day. Where’s the dignity?

"Ah? Is it that obvious?" Shen Yi rubbed her face.

Deng Jie nodded affirmatively. Yes, it was that obvious. Shen Yi might as well have "I’m in love" written across her forehead.

"Then I’ll control myself!" Saying this, she took a deep breath, trying to calm down.

"But I can’t help it!"
