Chapter 91: Softie for his daughter

His eyes were deep and serene, just like a pool of spring water. Figuring out what he was thinking was unfathomable, yet one could not help becoming immersed in those eyes...

"I'm talking to Yuehan. How dare you, a nurse, interrupt us!" When Cheng Xiuliu heard those words, she gnashed her teeth in anger as she loudly told off Nian Xiaomu.

Yu Yuehan's face darkened when he heard what she said.

The atmosphere in the room started to change.

Cheng Xiuliu felt goosebumps rising from his stare. Just as she was about to say something, she saw Yu Yuehan take his cell phone out of his pocket to make a phone call, then tossing it onto the coffee table.

Shortly later, the assistant's voice spoke up from the phone.

"Young Master, we have checked the bank transactions. There have been large amounts of money deposited into Fang Zhenyi's bank account this month. I have already gotten ahold of the statements..."

Before the assistant finished speaking, Cheng Xiulu's face had gone pale.

Yu Yuehan slowly got up from the sofa.

He adjusted his business suit with his slender fingers and walked toward her.

It felt like his imposing presence was trampling on her heart with every step he took.

"Fang Zhenyi has been charged in court. If you still deny your involvement in this, I have even more evidence to show you. However, you might have to appear in court together with her by then..."

Dong!

Before he finished what he had to say, a shell-shocked Cheng Xiulu's knees had already given out and collapsed onto the floor.

Her eyes were wide with trepidation and her mouth was agape, but she could not say a word.

"If Small Aunt is unwell, then do not overwork yourself. Stay in the small courtyard to nurse your health." Yu Yuehan narrowed his eyes and slowly buttoned up his jacket as he turned to give instructions to the servant standing by the side. "Send word that Second Lady needs to cultivate her character and temperament. For the next six months, she is not to take one step out of the small courtyard!"

When he was done speaking, he walked past Cheng Xiulu, whose face was as white as sheet, and toward Nian Xiaomu.

Before she could even react, he led her by the hand and walked out.

As Nian Xiaomu followed behind him, her mind was blank as she stared at the big hand that was holding hers...

Before she could regain her composure, he had already let go of her hand.

She looked up and realized that they had already walked out of the small courtyard.

His face had resumed that look of indifference. With a hand in his pocket, he coolly looked at her before continuing to walk along.

"..." Nian Xiaomu pouted her lips.

He had specially taken her with him to let her see how Cheng Xiulu ended up?

Being grounded for half a year was surely worse than being killed off.

The question she had earlier flashed in her mind again.

If Yu Yuehan had already known that Cheng Xiulu had planted an informant around him, why did he trust her?

To allow her to stay and look after Xiao Liuliu was a demonstration of trust, right?

Nian Xiaomu was still deep in thought when she sensed a piercing glare targeted at her.

She looked up and discovered that they were a distance apart.

He stood in front of her, took a glance at her legs, and asked impassively, "Short legs?"

Nian Xiaomu: "...!"

When they returned to the villa, Xiao Liuliu was already awake.

The cuddly little ball nestled in the sofa, hugging her favorite piggy doll and restlessly looking toward the door.

When she saw them walking in together, her eyes lit up immediately!

She slid off the sofa and darted in their direction.

When Yu Yuehan saw his little princess, the frosty aura surrounding him dissipated, and he dotingly stretched out his arms toward her.

Yet, at the very next moment, Xiao Liuliu walked right past him and dove into Nian Xiaomu's arms.

"Pretty Sister!"

Chapter 92: Short legs?

Yu Yuehan: "...??"

His hands froze in midair as the handsome face turned a dark shade of black.

He looked back in shock, and when he saw Xiao Liuliu snuggled in Nian Xiaomu's arms, his eyebrows furrowed into a line.

Cough cough! He let out two light coughs.

Xiao Liuliu's little head turned and seemed to only just notice him. Then she slid down from Nian Xiaomu's body and ran toward him.

"Daddi carry!"

Yu Yuehan scooped up his little princess and pinched her rosy cheeks.

His glum expression began to soften.

His little princess only jumped into Nian Xiaomu's arms because she had not seen him first.

Xiao Liuliu was so small, so it was only normal that her vision was not that good.

"Young Master, your car is ready. Would you like to head to the office now?" asked the butler respectfully after he hurriedly came in from outside.

Hearing that, Yu Yuehan raised his eyebrows as he looked over to Nian Xiaomu and said, "You follow along."

After that, he carried Xiao Liuliu into the living room.

The limousine was very spacious.

Besides the seats, there was a mini work desk and a cushion for lying down.

Once Yu Yuehan got into the car, he started working his business matters.

Xiao Liuliu nestled in his arms, obediently leaning against his chest while playing with her piggy doll.

"Master Han, the main board discussion will be on the new developments as well as Europe's latest sales report..." The assistant methodically presented his report with a stack of documents in his hands.

Yu Yuehan's schedule for the day was packed to the brim.

After listening to the report, he answered a few more business calls.

Soon after, Xiao Liuliu tired out from playing and dozed off in his arms.

It looked as if she was disturbed by the sound of the phone call when she turned and tried to bury her little head in his chest.

Yu Yuehan took a look at her and made an apology to the person on the call before hanging up without hesitation.

Then, he passed the phone to his assistant.

Nian Xiaomu was seated next to the door and when she saw what had happened, her eyes revealed a look of surprise.

The rumors might not be true.

He was not just a softie for his daughter, he was totally obsessed with spoiling his daughter!

At first, she thought that Yu Yuehan had asked her to follow along so that he could enslave her, but now, she felt that she was not needed at all...

Shoo- The car came to a stop a very short while later.

Nian Xiaomu turned to look out of the car window. The flashy corporation logo on the towering building seemed to indicate the beckoning of a Yu era.

The car door opened.

Yu Yuehan carried Xiao Liuliu out of the car first.

Using only one arm, he could steadily hold her small, soft body in his embrace and ensure that she could continue sleeping.

Nian Xiaomu was seated the furthest inside, so she was the last person to disembark.

She had only just stood up, and before she could even lift her head, she heard a chorus of greetings arise around her.

"Young Master Han..."

She looked up and saw that Yu Yuehan had already carried Xiao Liuliu to the entrance of the company building.

His distinguished silhouette basked under the sunlight.

The black suit was elegant, mysterious, and made him appear like a king who had power over everything.

Escorted by a large crowd of people, he started to walk forward...

Suddenly, he stopped in his tracks.

The effect wasn't just felt by the people around him, because Nian Xiaomu's heart started pounding as well.

"Master Han, is something wrong?" asked the manager respectfully as he followed behind Yu Yuehan.

Yu Yuehan's gaze went right past him and looked at Nian Xiaomu, who was still standing in a daze next to the car.

"Short Legs?"

Nian Xiaomu: "...!"

A scholar prefers death over humiliation!

She had already been called Short Legs twice today.

Nian Xiaomu had the urge to charge forward and fight it out with him, but when she realized that the people standing around them had all turned their attention to her when he asked for her...

Chapter 93: It's against the rules to be too handsome!

Instead of looking at her face, they were all looking at her legs.

Nian Xiaomu's body stiffened, and she immediately straightened herself up.

Her proportionately long legs were universally popular among everyone. Only Yu Yuehan would dare to call her Short Legs!

She held her head up and threw her chest out. Her curvaceous body and beautiful face would always stand out in a crowd even without any dressing up.

Very quickly, everyone's expressions changed.

Their eyes lit up with surprise...

Nian Xiaomu raised her head, crossed her arms, and looked back at Yu Yuehan in defiance.

People have eyes and could see that she does not have short legs!

Yu Yuehan stood at the entrance, his handsome face devoid of any emotions.

His deep eyes watched how the woman in front of the car had been trying to accentuate her figure after he made that comment about her. Then, his lips curled into a subtle smile.

The next second, when he saw the bewitched looks on the men's faces, his gaze turned cold.

He nonchalantly remarked, "Still not coming over?"

"..."

Nian Xiaomu felt that she had gotten back at him and did not want to pursue it further. She hurriedly ran over and stopped next to him.

"Okay, we can go in now..."

When Nian Xiaomu spoke, Yu Yuehan did not walk onward. Instead, he lowered his head slightly to look at her.

Nian Xiaomu was considered tall among girls, but she only reached his chest level and had to raise her head to meet his eyes.

How she regretted not wearing high heels today!

She had already lost out in terms of presence.

While Nian Xiaomu was still in a trance, his clear voice spoke in her ears, "Follow me closely if you do not want to be called Short Legs."

His voice was so pleasant to the ear. When they were standing close to each other, she could smell the faint peppermint scent on his body.

His handsome face could wreck a nation and bring ruin to the people. Up close, it was invincibly lethal.

When Nian Xiaomu regained her composure, he had already straightened up and formed a faint smile with his curled lips.

She wanted to say something, but missed her chance.

Grrr! It's against the rules to be so handsome!

The people surrounding them could not hear what they were saying. Their boss would usually never go near any women, yet he had taken the initiative to approach this woman. Everyone's jaws dropped in astonishment.

As Yu Yuehan took in the people's reactions, the coldness in his eyes dissipated slightly.

He narrowed his eyes in satisfaction and turned to keep walking.

To protect her dignity and pride, Nian Xiao took big steps to follow behind him, determined not to be more than a meter away from him.

How she wished she could just step on his heels so that he would know how long her legs were!

She did not realize that the people following behind them had gone into a frenzy just from watching how a woman could stay alive despite being so physically close to their big boss...

In the president's office.

Yu Yuehan placed Xiao Liuliu in his lounge and left for an emergency meeting.

Nian Xiaomu was left alone in the room.

She could not resist looking around the lounge.

It was a simple, professional, and monochrome black and white style.

However, there were several cute toys at the bedside that were mostly pink.

It seemed like he frequently brought Xiao Liuliu to his office.

Nian Xiaomu's stomach growled, and she suddenly realized that it was almost noon, but she had not eaten yet.

Xiao Liuliu was probably going to wake up soon.

Nian Xiaomu would have to prepare something for Xiao Liuliu to eat.

Nian Xiaomu took her phone out of her bag and was thinking if she could order delivery when the assistant walked in with two big bags.

Nian Xiaomu asked in surprise, "This is..."

"Young Master asked me to prepare some fresh ingredients for you. You will cook lunch for Xiao Liuliu and him today."

Chapter 94: Never concede defeat!

Nian Xiaomu: "...!"

When the assistant was done conveying the instructions, he carried the ingredients into the kitchen.

It was a clean and neat kitchenette that was adequately equipped.

So he really wanted her to make lunch...

"If there is anything you need, please let me know." The assistant put everything down and turned to leave.

"..." Nian Xiaomu's lips quivered.

She needed a chef. Could that be arranged?

"Excuse me, did your Young Master misunderstand something? I don't know..."

"Miss Nian, Young Master said that this meal concerns your triple bonus at the end of the month," interrupted the assistant before she could explain that she did not know how to cook.

Hearing that, Nian Xiaomu held her tongue and immediately shut her mouth.

Her face contorted into a crying smile. Through gritted teeth, she managed to force out a reply and said, "Okay, I'll do it right away!"

The assistant set his mind at ease and left the kitchen.

When his figure disappeared, Nian Xiaomu's face fell.

She stared blankly at the pile of ingredients and fell into a deep dejection.

Should she concede that the only skill that she had not mastered was cooking?

However, her triple bonus was at stake. If she had to, she would use magic to form a whole meal for Yu Yuehan.

What to do? What to do?

Got it! She could order delivery and use her own plates to present them.

So brilliant!

Nian Xiaomu walked out of the kitchen to get her mobile phone. From the corner of her eye, she noticed that the assistant was standing at the door like a door god.

She stopped in her tracks!

Before she could even raise her question, the assistant spoke up to deliver a reminder.

"Young Master asked me to stay here to supervise you until you are done cooking."

"..." Her delivery plan was crushed!

Nian Xiaomu felt a tightening in her heart and stuffed her mobile phone back into her bag, silently cursing Yu Yuehan under her breath.

She was a nurse, not a nanny. Why did she have to cook lunch for him?

However, when she thought about the bonus that she was about to receive...

No way. The money-minded queen would never concede defeat in front of money!

Nian Xiaomu took a deep breath and re-entered the kitchen.

Shortly after, clanging sounds could be heard from the kitchen

-

In the meeting room.

For the first time in his life, Yu Yuehan was lost in his thoughts in the middle of a meeting.

He kept looking down at his watch.

It was almost time for lunch. Was she done making lunch?

For the first time ever, the man who had obviously been used to luxurious cuisine was looking forward to a meal.

Or rather, he was anticipating what other "surprise" she would give him.

He recalled how she had pointed to the diamond hair clip and was certain that it was a fake diamond.

Also, she had sat down at the piano during the party and played a mind-blowing performance. She had also shared a dance with him that took everyone's breath away...

"...Master Han? Master Han?" The department manager who was presenting his report called out a few times, but Yu Yuehan did not respond.

The department manager was shocked!

Would a bloody rain fall from the skies?

The big boss had never been so distracted during a meeting.

"..." Very quickly, Yu Yuehan realized that his thoughts had strayed, and his eyebrows furrowed together.

He took a sweeping glance at his subordinates and got up from his seat.

"The meeting will end here today. Dismissed!"

Before anyone could react, he had already stepped out of the meeting room.

Without stopping, his handsome figure headed straight to his own office.

"Master Han, these are the minutes for the meeting. There are a few other documents that require your immediate signature..." The secretary at the meeting carried a stack of documents and followed hurriedly behind.

Yu Yuehan stopped and reached over for the documents. He glanced through and signed them quickly.

Then, he passed the documents to the secretary and reached out to open the door of his office.

Chapter 95: Well, that's something impressive

In the office, the chilly atmosphere did not seem different from the usual.

However, he knitted his eyebrows at the subtle burnt smell that floated between his breath.

He removed the jacket of his suit and threw it aside conveniently onto the sofa meant for guests. After which, he strolled toward the lounge.

Before he even reached the lounge, he saw the assistant standing at the door with a confused look on his face. When the assistant spotted him, he opened his mouth and seemed to have something to say. He didn't manage to speak his thoughts, but the expressions on his face was amusing.

"What happened?" Yu Yuehan frowned and opened his thin lips.

The assistant wanted to answer him when Nian Xiaomu ran out of the kitchen with a spatula in hand.

When she saw Yu Yuehan, she smiled with squinted eyes.

"You are done with your meeting? Go and wash your hands first-the food will be ready soon!"

"..." Yu Yuehan stared at her red face, which was probably caused by the smoke in the kitchen, and narrowed his eyes.

"Young Master, also..." The assistant at his side had wanted to say something, but Yu Yuehan was already making his way to the lounge.

His gaze shifted toward the dining table subconsciously.

On the table were the "trophies" which Nian Xiaomu had spent two hours fighting for.

"Make way, make way! The soup is pretty hot!" Yu Yuehan walked to the front, but before he could take a detailed look at the dishes, he saw her making her way out of the kitchen and carrying a bowl of soup with both her hands.

She passed by him and placed it on the table with a thump.

She heaved a huge sigh of relief and lifted her head up with excitement after removing her apron.

"Successfully accomplished!"

Yu Yuehan: "..."

Although she had done plenty of things that were unimaginable previously, he had never seen her carry an expression that was so happy like this one.

She had only prepared a meal today-wasn't she overly excited?

When he saw her look, his expectations toward the meal were greatly increased. With a twist of his head, he glanced at the dining table.

However, his expression turned weird in a second after just a glance.

"What is this?" asked Yu Yuehan, pointing at a black mess on the table.

Nian Xiaomu lowered her chin. With a glance, she answered, "Fried fish. I remembered to get rid of the fishy smell as well as season it, but it seems like I didn't control the heat well-it's a little charred."

"..." It was so charred that he could not make out that it was a fish, yet she still said that it was only a little
