I am chasing a rough man in the 80s

Chapter 989: Chapter 989: Hurry Up and Make a Statement

Yu Jingting came back very late. He had been focusing all his efforts on a big order over the past few days, aiming to sell a large amount of office supplies.

The person in charge was a mature woman who was overly "enthusiastic."

Every time they met, she wouldn’t talk about business; within a few words, she’d try to steer the conversation elsewhere.

Time and again, she suggested they should go out "alone" to talk, from having tea to drinking to finding a place with stars to talk alone, she was practically smashing her intentions onto Yu Jingting’s face.

Everyone following Yu Jingting could see what was going on.

This wasn’t about placing an order.

It was about "placing a reservation" on someone, wasn’t it?

If looks could undress someone, Yu Jingting’s clothes would have been scorched off by her burning gaze long ago.

To deal with her, Yu Jingting had already spent too much energy, every time he tried to discuss serious matters, that woman cunningly avoided it, making today another fruitless day.

Yu Jingting came home with a belly full of fire, didn’t even eat dinner, and upon returning to the room saw Suizi leaning against the headboard, slumped over a book in bed, with a bottle of medicinal wine on the bedside table.

He walked over and picked up the medicinal wine.

Seeing him, Suizi immediately did a "salted fish flip," obediently lying on the bed with her clothes lifted.

This proactive gesture made the man, who was tired from the day’s work, laugh.

"If only you were this eager with other things," he said.

"You still have the nerve to talk, not considering who’s to thank for that," Suizi muttered.

Originally, she could have asked Jiaojiao for help.

But Yu Jingting had a habit of gnawing on people, often leaving a body covered in marks with his nibbling and biting. If Jiaojiao saw that, wouldn’t it be too shocking for the eyes?

"Ha, ’one who is full does not know the hunger of the starving,’ someone sure has it good with their guaranteed ’harvest’ regardless of the conditions; outside there’s a person who could’ve died of thirst," Suizi teased.

When Yu Jingting mentioned the last part, he did so with an obvious emotion, grinding his teeth and unintentionally using more strength in his hand.

Suizi hissed in pain, and Yu Jingting quickly loosened his grip.

"Did I press too hard?" he asked.

Suizi moved a bit, and would you believe it, that actually made her feel a lot better.

She shook her head at him, signaling him to continue.

"Did you run into some annoying issue? Your chief military adviser is always on standby," Suizi said, hearing the deeper meaning in his words and guessing he had encountered some difficulties.

"Encountered an annoying woman, so clingy she could vacuum the floor just by sitting down," he said. "Lucky that looks can’t strip clothes, otherwise your man would have come back naked! The way she looked at me was just like a goblin eyeing Tang Sanzang!"

Yu Jingting started off cursing, but by the end, his tone carried a hint of grievance.

Suizi couldn’t hold back and burst out laughing.

Yu Jingting, feigning anger, pretended to pinch her, but he didn’t have the heart to actually do it—he barely touched her before pretending to apply a lot of force.

Suizi played along, quickly acting as if she were begging for mercy, her voice much softer than usual.

"How old is this sister? And what does she look like?" Suizi was very curious.

To have irritated Yu Jingting this much, this big sister must have quite the personality.

"In his thirties, I suppose, he just looks like any other person, not missing a nose or an eye." Yu Jingting spoke with full disdain.

"Boss Yu, that won’t do, you have to answer the question with more professionalism—how does she compare to me?"

"Isn’t that degrading yourself?! How can you compare yourself to that thing? And why are you even asking! Whether young and beautiful or ugly as sin, it makes no difference to me!"

When Suizi asked this, it reminded Yu Jingting of the rotten ideas the people around him had come up with.

They said she wasn’t bad-looking, young yet mature, clearly a different type from Suizi. And since the boss is a man, he wouldn’t lose out; just consider it a life experience.

After spouting that nonsense, Yu Jingting kicked them out, and they still can’t return to work.

He couldn’t stand others grossing him out, and if his wife dared to sing a similar tune, he would really go crazy.

Seeing that he was truly angry, Suizi softened her body and leaned into his embrace, her pale arms tenderly circling his neck with boneless grace, a move she often used with unfailing effect.

But today, Yu Jingting’s anger was blazing. Even her coquetry only managed to reduce his fury slightly. His black eyes fixed on her intently, his face all but inscribed with the words: State your position, now!

"Look at you, your temper is way too hot, didn’t I tell you I wasn’t done talking? You’re my man, would I let you sell yourself for money, eh."

She was bitten before she could finish her sentence.

Those two words were unbearable for Yu Jingting.

"Then why do you care how she looks or how old she is, I’m telling you, even if she isn’t fit to carry your shoes, even if she looks like the Seven Fairies descended to Earth, I still despise her. Whether or not I make this deal, I despise her! Hmph!"

Despise her soul!

"I asked about her age because I wanted to survey her background. If she’s pretty, that could indicate one scenario; if not, then another."

Suizi could already guess from Yu Jingting’s reaction that it was probably the first scenario, which was easier to handle than the second.

"Let me tell you a joke. Xiaowang found out a female colleague called the boss ’Dad’, so to become the boss’s son-in-law, he pursued her aggressively. In the end, he got fired because she was the boss’s wife. So, get it?"

Yu Jingting stroked his chin, deep in thought. After a few seconds, he finally mused, "Are you suggesting we switch things up today? I don’t mind adding a pretty maiden to the mix."

"Boss Yu, it’s your chief military adviser’s class time, be serious!"

Yu Jingting made a face and gestured for her to continue.

"The point is, in most people’s hearts, the weight of family love often surpasses romantic love. For us, it’s easier to cope with a situation where romantic love is the glue than one bound by familial ties."

"Where did you get that conclusion from? Are you sure it’s not just that boss’s personal kink?" Yu Jingting envisioned for a moment Suizi lying in bed and calling him ’Dad’, yuck.

Suizi pinched his face, gathering his scattered indecent thoughts, back to business, come on!

"What I mean is, you should check if she’s the original match or a 2+1. Whether it’s the former or the latter, neither is difficult to deal with. For the original spouse, we can threaten her with her husband; 2+1 is even easier, as I suspect the original wife is eager to have something on her. It’s also possible she has a powerful father, which might require a bit more effort but is not unsolvable."

Suizi felt the third possibility was unlikely. If she were a pampered rich girl, she wouldn’t shamelessly cling to him after repeated rejections and his disclosure of being married—it would be too beneath her.

But as a military adviser, she had to weigh all possibilities, accounting for every scenario.

Suizi’s assertions hit the mark every time, and Yu Jingting nodded; he knew what to do, but still felt disgusted.

"We’ll start with a breakthrough from behind the scenes. If we’ve done all we can and it still doesn’t work, we can let go of this deal. Don’t trouble yourself over it; we’re not in need of that money at home." After analyzing the situation, Suizi started to soothe him again.

Yu Jingting was quite taken with her approach, and his fighting spirit was ignited by her.

All that messy stuff outside, aiming for his robust physique?

Hmph, not in their next life!
