    Chapter 101: Only Be Your Li Yang

    Xun Qi Technologies.

    After finishing the last meeting, Ling Yu dragged his exhausted body back to his workstation.

    Outside, the sky was completely dark, and the city’s traffic was reflected on the glass windows through the lights, shimmering with colorful lights.

    In the blink of an eye, the colleagues who had just attended the meeting together had already left work. The last colleague passed by Ling Yu before leaving and said hello to him.

    “Assistant Ling, aren’t you leaving yet? Are you waiting for President Li to pick you up again?”

    “No.” Ling Yu squeezed out an awkward smile, “I still have some work to do, I’ll leave later.”

    “Okay, then I’ll go first, bye.” The colleague gave Ling Yu a knowing look and waved goodbye with a smile.

    There was only him left in the office. Ling Yu sighed and slumped in his chair.

    In the past few months, he was only helping Lian Xun manage the company temporarily, and he was already exhausted.

    Every day, he had to work as soon as he opened his eyes. On weekends, he had to attend some business management courses, and he had no time to rest at all.

    He couldn’t help but sigh, not everyone can be a boss, at least, you have to have a particularly resilient body.

    Fortunately, Li Yang was there to help him, so that he wouldn’t be at a loss when encountering problems.

    With Lian Xun and Qi Luzhi absent, Li Yang frequently ran to Xun Qi Technologies under the guise of work. From coming only during work hours at the beginning, to coming during both work hours and meal times, and now picking up Ling Yu from work every night and taking him home.

    Thinking of this, a shy smile suddenly appeared on the corner of Ling Yu’s mouth.

    “What are you thinking about? You’re smiling so happily.” A gentle voice came from the door.

    Li Yang walked in, put his right hand on Ling Yu’s shoulder, and smiled, “It’s still early today, how about we go for a late-night snack?”

    “No, I’m not hungry.” Ling Yu moved Li Yang’s hand away and looked down at the notebook on the table.

    Li Yang sat on the edge of Ling Yu’s desk and closed the notebook, “Don’t be busy, you see everyone else is gone, let me take you home.”

    Ling Yu looked up at Li Yang and agreed, “Okay, then.”

    He got up and picked up his coat from the back of the chair. Just as he was about to put it on, Li Yang suddenly noticed the bandage on his left hand and frowned, “What happened to your hand?”

    Ling Yu looked at the bandage that was crookedly wrapped from his palm to his wrist and fell into contemplation.

    In fact, after running into Li Yang’s mother that night, even if Ling Yu deliberately avoided Li Yang, things did not end there.

    Mrs. Yang later found him several times privately, warning him not to pester Li Yang. Their family could not accept Li Yang being with a boy. The person Li Yang had to marry could only be a high-ranking noble lady of equal status…

    Whether intentional or unintentional, Mrs. Yang always arranged to meet Ling Yu in very remote locations and always ordered very expensive [Restaurant], making Ling Yu pay, implying that Ling Yu was not in the same world as them, and telling him not to have wishful thinking.

    Ling Yu, considering that she was Li Yang’s mother, had always been polite and respectful to her. Even if each meal cost him a month’s salary, and he had to eat steamed buns and instant noodles for many days afterward, he had no complaints.

    But with more contact, he slowly understood that Mrs. Yang did not think about Li Yang at all in her words, and between the lines, there were calculations of weighing the pros and cons.

    When Li Yang was sick and had a fever, she didn’t care at all. It was Ling Yu who ran to Li Yang’s house in the middle of the night to take care of him.

    When Li Yang was being deliberately made difficult by his opponents at the drinking party, she was still thinking about how to persuade him to marry the An family’s daughter in order to consolidate their position in the upper class.

    She couldn’t control Li Yang, so she came to trouble Ling Yu. It wasn’t that she couldn’t accept Li Yang liking a boy. Ling Yu believed that if he was a young master from a wealthy family, Mrs. Yang would never object, but would smile and bless them.

    Every time he met Mrs. Yang, Ling Yu felt more heartache and pity for Li Yang.

    Therefore, when Mrs. Yang came to find Ling Yu again today, he no longer condescendingly took care of her face, but directly retorted with a tough attitude.

    “Auntie, I can’t compare to Li Yang in terms of family background, but my sincerity towards him is genuine. I hope he can live happier than anyone else.

    Li Yang is already doing very well, and I don’t want you to force him to do things he doesn’t want to do. He has the right to choose the life he wants, instead of just being treated as a bargaining chip to exchange for wealth and glory.

    I always thought that there was no mother in the world who didn’t love her child. Now it seems that I was wrong.”

    Mrs. Yang didn’t expect that Ling Yu, who had always been docile in front of her, would say such things. She became angry and embarrassed, and poured a cup of boiling water at him.

    Ling Yu subconsciously reached out to block it, and a large area of his wrist was scalded.

    He was in a hurry to go back to the company for a meeting, so he didn’t go to the hospital, but bought some medicine at a roadside pharmacy and bandaged it up hastily himself.

    He had never told Li Yang about these things from beginning to end, because he didn’t want to embarrass Li Yang.

    Li Yang looked at Ling Yu, who had been in a daze for a long time, and shook his arm, “Ling Yu?”

    Ling Yu came back to his senses, hid his left hand behind him, and smiled indifferently, “It’s nothing, I accidentally scalded myself while pouring water today.”

    “How could you be so careless? Let me see, is the injury serious?” Li Yang was full of worry and pulled Ling Yu’s arm to check.

    “It’s okay, it’s just a small injury.” Ling Yu pulled out his arm and turned to walk towards the door, “Aren’t you going to take me home? Let’s go.”

    “Okay, wait for me, don’t walk so fast.” Li Yang quickly followed.

    The car stopped downstairs at the apartment where Ling Yu lived. Li Yang got out of the car and went upstairs to take him to the door.

    “Well, I’ll go first.” Li Yang waved goodbye reluctantly, “Good night, Ling Yu.”

    “Okay, be careful on the road.” Ling Yu said, stepping forward to give him a hug.

    Li Yang was stunned.

    What’s going on today? Ling Yu actually took the initiative to hug him!

    Excited pink bubbles popped up in his heart, enveloping his whole body. Ling Yu hugged him, so does that mean…?

    At the moment when Ling Yu turned around to go back into the house, Li Yang grabbed his arm and said urgently, “I have something to tell you.”

    He looked into Ling Yu’s eyes, which were filled with deep anticipation.

    “Ling Yu, can you please stop avoiding our feelings?”

    Ling Yu looked at him, then quickly avoided his gaze, just like every time before.

    Li Yang pursed his lips and continued, “I know that my mother has caused you a lot of trouble. What you have always cared about is the inequality between our identities.

    I can not be the eldest son of the Li family, not be President Li of Sheng Shao Group, I can just be your Li Yang. Would you be willing to give me another chance like this?”
