The Villainess Awakens After Marrying the Male Lead’s Brother - Chapter 34

Zhou Han is Jiang Yunyan’s special assistant, responsible for work matters. Xiao Chen is the life assistant, handling social events, restaurant reservations, and the boss’s two meals a day – the boss takes care of breakfast himself lately. With the boss frequently cooking at home in the past half year, Xiao Chen mostly dealt with lunch.

At eleven, Xiao Chen selected a fortunate restaurant, ordered a few dishes according to the boss’s preferences, and waited for delivery around 11:30. In the remaining time, he organized the clients the boss would meet today, their likes and dislikes.

When the phone rang, Xiao Chen swiftly went out, returning with a delicate wooden food box. He was about to deliver it directly when Zhou Han intercepted him: “Xiao Chen, give that to me.”
Xiao Chen: “Huh?”
Zhou Han, unfazed: “I have something to report, I’ll take it over.”

Xiao Chen handed it over: “Remember to remind the boss to eat on time.”
“Got it.” Zhou Han took the food box, returned to his office, and with a mischievous smile, exclaimed, “It feels quite satisfying to snatch the boss’s meal!”

Meanwhile, immersed in work, Jiang Yunyan remained unaware that lunchtime had passed. As his accustomed stomach protested, he slightly diverted his attention from the documents to the clock on the table. Frowning, he realized it was almost noon, and Xiao Chen hadn’t delivered his meal yet. About to call Xiao Chen, the door opened unexpectedly. At the sight of the person entering, Jiang Yunyan’s displeasure froze, replaced by surprise: “Xiaoyu, why are you here?”

In that moment, Jiang Yunyan’s brows furrowed deeply, wondering who would enter without knocking. However, upon seeing the person entering, his displeasure froze, and surprise masked the faint sparkle in his eyes. “Xiao Yu, why are you here?”

Wen Yu, in a white sweater and a red retro-style long skirt, rushed in with slightly disheveled hair. She had made it just in time, avoiding Jiang Yunyan’s discovery.

For the first time as a supporting character, she visited a large company without an appointment. Surprisingly, she faced no difficulties. Even without prior appearances, the receptionist promptly guided her to the elevator upon asking for the top floor.

As doubts lingered, Wen Yu focused on lunch. Holding the food container, she smiled sweetly at the man who had just stood up. “Here’s lunch for you.”

Jiang Yunyan understood, “Thank you, Xiao Yu.”

“No problem.” Wen Yu glanced around his office, noting its spaciousness with a desk, two computers, and a stack of files. A bookshelf stood nearby, filled with documents and a few books.

It was ordinary, nothing like she imagined. Wasn’t there supposed to be a separate lounge?

Placing the food container on the coffee table, Wen Yu observed the office. Jiang Yunyan walked over, seeming in good spirits. “Why the sudden visit with lunch?”

The office door had closed when Wen Yu entered. With good soundproofing, the room felt quiet. Wen Yu, hearing Jiang Yunyan’s deepened voice softened by a filter, felt a tingling sensation and blushed. She then playfully added with a coquettish tone, “For your great kindness, I came to thank you in person~~~”

Jiang Yunyan replied dryly, “Thank you, Xiao Yu, but there’s no need to worry. It didn’t take much effort.”

This sparked Wen Yu’s interest, “How much is not much effort? How much money did it cost? I heard celebrities charge tens of thousands for a single Weibo promotion.”

Jiang Yunyan shook his head, “No, I originally asked Zhou Han to handle the promotion expenses. However, he started, and before long, someone noticed. They volunteered to help, and it cost less than three million.”

Jiang Shang Entertainment, founded by him, faced initial difficulties despite parental funding. The currently successful artists had started their careers with him, and their relationships extended beyond business. This time, when Zhou Han started the promotion, it attracted attention, leading to a voluntary effort that cost less than three million.

Wen Yu reacted, “!!! You can do it like that?!”

Certainly! Here’s the English translation of the Chinese paragraphs with space between paragraphs:

Can it be like this?!
Feeling like earning millions in an illusion.
Unfortunately, not everyone can make others do so.
After calming down, Wen Yu pointed to the food box that the man had already opened, and said with satisfaction, “This is something I made myself, want to taste?”
As she spoke, she looked over with anticipation.
Jiang Yunyan looked at the three dishes in the food box. Among them, the roast duck and fried pork chop were only eaten during the New Year. If he remembered correctly, they made up the majority of the package his mother put in the trunk.

Handmade?
His eyebrows slightly moved, and a narrow smile appeared on his face. “Then I must taste the dishes made by little fish.”
The last few words, he emphasized.

Wen Yu: “…”
She cleared her throat and honestly said, “Then try the eggs, the rest I mainly just reheated.”

A steamer, an oven, quite fast…

Jiang Yunyan didn’t joke too much, fearing the young girl might get embarrassed.
But looking at the two portions of food in the box, he knew she hadn’t eaten. “Come, sit down.”
Wen Yu immediately ran over and sat next to Jiang Yunyan. There were no chairs here, and the coffee table wasn’t very high. Sitting on the sofa was the most suitable.
However, as soon as she sat down, she felt a bit uneasy.
The sofa was too soft and slippery. When she sat down, she was originally next to Jiang Yunyan, but left a gap. As a result, she slid a bit to the left, directly against the solid thigh of the man beside her.
Clearly, it was cold in early spring, and she was still wearing fleece-lined leggings, with a not-so-thin long skirt covering, but it seemed like she could feel the warmth coming from the side of the thigh.
Is moving away too deliberate?
Does it seem like she just came over to take advantage?
In the midst of chaotic thoughts, a pair of chopsticks was handed to Wen Yu. Looking at the man who seemed completely indifferent and calm, she gritted her teeth and thought, “Anyway, he won’t feel it. If I take advantage, it’s his loss!”
She fiercely picked up a piece of pork chop and took a bite.
Hmm, her cooking skills were still good. The pork chop was crispy and fragrant.
The eggs were okay too, a bit old but still edible.
It seems the skills from her previous life are still retained.

Jiang Yunyan also silently ate. After steaming the roast duck, the skin softened, but when his mother made it, even if it softened, it was not greasy, very delicious.
However, at the moment, he didn’t pay much attention to the taste.
Maybe the pork chop was more to the liking of the young girl. She kept picking up one after another, but due to the placement of the dishes, the pork chop was closer to his side.
Every time she picked up a dish, she leaned in a bit, causing their bodies to be close. A faint fragrance appeared on his nose each time, making him restless, unable to fully enjoy the meal.
After finishing the lunch, Wen Yu felt a bit full and started to feel drowsy.
Blame it on staying up late watching TV last night, chatting with Yao Xi and others took a lot of time, then watching a TV series. Two episodes later, she hadn’t finished her midnight snack.
Reluctant to wait until the next day, she found another TV series to watch.
This time, it was a bit too late.
She got up at ten in the morning, Wen Yu didn’t get enough sleep.
She wiped her mouth, stood up, and said, “Big brother, I’ll go back now.”
The man, who was packing up the lunch box, paused for a moment. The deep gaze flickered, and he casually said, “If you have nothing to do, you can play around here for a while. There’s an arcade next door…”
Relying on his good memory, even if he hadn’t been there, he listed the shops that young people liked. Then he raised his hand, naturally pinched the young girl’s cheek more intimately than usual: “I don’t have much to do this afternoon, I can go home with you a little earlier.”

The last two words, he said with a slightly lighter tone.Wen Yu, who was a bit sleepy, didn’t realize this difference. She lazily shook her head: “No, I’m so tired, need to catch up on sleep. Also, Yuan Tan invited me tonight—” When she mentioned this, she slightly perked up: “I’m going to record a variety show in a few days! I’ll play around there for a few days then.”

Jiang Yunyan closed his eyes slightly: “What variety show? When are you recording?”

Wen Yu said: “It seems to be called ‘Set Off Together.’ I heard it’s a top-notch production. I have to go promote it. Recording in five days.”

“Then prepare well.” The man’s only trace of emotion disappeared from his face, calmly saying, handing over the lunch box: “Go back.”

Wen Yu sensed something was off, looked at him cautiously, but Jiang Yunyan has always had a reserved expression. With such good-looking features, he rarely used them to express any emotions, always calm as water.Now she couldn’t see anything.Is it her imagination? After thinking for two seconds, Wen Yu smiled and waved her hand, her voice as light and cheerful as ever: “Alright, big brother, I’m leaving.”

The young man in front of her nodded slightly, still not saying anything, watching her leave.Wen Yu carried the lunch box and went out.The office door closed, and Jiang Yunyan opened his phone, tapped a few times. On WeChat was a message sent by Jiang Yunjin this morning:

[Bro, can you please help me talk to Zhou Dao, the director of “Set Off Together”? Can you open a back door for me? Yuanyuan still doesn’t pay much attention to me. Can you ask him to arrange us in the same group? Zhou Dao has a stubborn temper, I’ve been begging him for two days, and he’s not responding.]

【Grateful for Your Majesty’s Favor.jpg】

He saw it while having dinner but didn’t respond at that moment.

But now, his expression is slightly cold as he types: 【Handle it yourself】

Jiang Yunjin: 【Brother!!!】

He turns off his phone, ignoring his younger brother’s wails. Leaning against the soft back of the sofa, he looks at the ceiling with an emotionless face, only his eyes betraying turbulent emotions unlike usual.
